8. Watching Me (Sol POV)

Sol POV

I felt eyes on me for days. I knew someone was watching me. I would have been nervous that Ben was sending someone to take me out, but it didn’t feel threatening. In fact, it was the opposite feeling. As if the person, whomever it was, was watching over me. I had not noticed anything overtly out of the ordinary.

The people in my classes where all the right age. There was no one exceedingly out of place. Sure, there was some of students that looked better than others and those people stood out, but they still were students and looked to be in the class. I had yet to tell Quieten about the ongoing surveillance.

But I was now considering it, it had been going on for almost a week, if I still felt eyes on me when it hit day seven then I would inform him. I doubted anyone would be able to take me out. If it was just one human, but that was strange to. I couldn’t smell another wolf. All I got was human or random animals that were about on campus. “I said to turn off your phones.” I heard the professor say.

I looked up and he was glaring at me and the whole room seemed to be doing the same. The ringing continued. Who would be calling me? I opened my bag and pulled it out and saw a number I recognized but it wasn’t coming to me at the moment. “Get out!” The professor yelled and I made quick work to get my shit together. “Don’t bother coming back if your phone is on.” He said as I ran out of the class.

I ended up having to call the number back. “Hello Miss Sol, this is Robero.” I knew him, some human lawyer my father had and managed human accounts and shit. “Hi Robero can I help you I am in school.” I spoke. “Yes, as a matter of fact, your father was insistent if I didn’t hear from him for more than 45 days I was to transfer accounts to you.” What did this mean? Was I inheriting everything?

I knew I would eventually, but I didn’t think it would happen like this. Especially not being called by Robero who is a fucking human of all things was. “Would you mind coming into the office?” I responded. “Your offices I understand are not close to my school, that would be quite impossible considering I am attending school.” “Oh yes, I forgot your father had told me about that, um could you come on a weekend or something.” I let out a loud sigh.

I could in fact go to the offices, I had enough money to do whatever I wanted, including flying out to wherever Robero was. But I didn't particularly relish the idea of flying into a concrete jungle. “Could you come out here instead? I would be more than willing to finance your trip.” Of course, he agreed when I put it that way. A little trick my father taught me about doing business with humans. “I will be there in a week I can email you the details.” “Sounds good see you then.” I hung up glad to be done with that.

I looked around, there was few people still loitering around the grounds, most had to be in classes. I caught blue eyes looking at me. My brows came together. His body was in shade leaning against one of the walls under one of the stone alcoves, but his eyes were bright blue, and they were fixed on me.

I sniffed the air; there was nothing concerning in the air I could pick up. But I didn’t like the way he was looking at me. Not because I was scarred but because I couldn’t make out his intention. I turned and walked away. I was heading home, I had one other class left for the day, but I didn’t want to go. I was already weeks into the reading and had done most of the work already. Thank you for syllabus, it made it all too easy to get ahead.

I knew better than to confront humans when they were clearly being strange. That had ended me up in a heap of trouble the first year I was here. They were too delicate for conflict and so I ended up deciding best to walk away when one is getting on my nerves. So, I did, I walked to my car, the vehicle was parked in the far side of the parking lot, and I trudged there ignoring everyone I passed.

When I walked into the nice cabin, I knew I was alone. Quienten was in classes all morning. Though like me he was studious and could miss more than one class and be okay. I sent out a mind link to Kimi “Any update?” She had been gone for what seemed like ages, being up north. She was seeing if it was a place we could flee to, though I was sure at this point we didn’t need to.

Ben was not hunting us; in fact, something was going on there. Why was no one hunting us, and Quienten little friend had no knowledge of who we were. Everything seemed weird. I heard Kimi in my head “Yes and no. The north seems secure but everything your mother accomplished once she became Luna has left almost no one up here in the north. I have yet to come across a single pack. Howi wiped out so many and then a lot moved down south finding mates.”

I smiled that had been a good thing. I knew the history and it was something to be proud of. I responded over mind link “So we are a pack we could relocate there.” Kimi said “Yeah, that is true, do you want me to come back south or do you want me to keep searching. I also am wondering if you need me to do some recon on the old pack?” She asked. “No, don’t do that. I don’t need you dead too, you can keep looking for something in the north, if nothing else find us a place we could move to.” I said over the link.

Kimi agreed. I had a plan, we would stay here for school, until the summer and then relocate to the north. We would live there and establish something. We only had three of us after all and there was no point in fighting when we were so few in numbers. We could talk about what to do about growing numbers once we had a place, but I was unsure how that would even be possible. Everything just felt hopeless.
