We were still in bed. Tyler naked and I with my eyes closed.

In the end I couldn't see anything I didn't want to see.

Tyler didn't seem bothered much, toying with a strand of hair.

I didn't know why he did it, but I just let him do it.

A growl interrupted what he was doing.

"I'm sorry Lily, I'm really hungry."

He got up and stretched a bit.

"Come on, let's have a look in the kitchen and see if we can get something."

I sat up and looked at him critically. Did he really want to walk around the house naked again?

He just rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I'll put something on. But I'm only doing this for you."

He grabbed a pair of pants and a shirt from somewhere.

He didn't wear underwear, which I found even stranger than all the walking around naked, and ran his shirt open.

Ready to leave, he stood at the door and looked at me expectantly.

I, on the other hand, looked at him confused.

Tyler just gave me a cheeky wink and grabbed me.

Before I could even blink, he had snatched me out of bed and onto his arms. So he left the room with me.

I would have loved to ask him to let me down, but I couldn't.

I tried to show him my will and try to get off his arms, he held me tightly.

As if out of nowhere, he suddenly stopped at a corridor crossing.

I looked at him questioningly, but he only said with a frown in the hallway that went off to the right.

It was quite dark in this one and I couldn't see what was supposed to be there, no matter how hard I tried.

But only a few seconds later, I heard what must have caused Tyler to stop. A soft sob.

I looked at Tyler with concern. I tapped him and, when the gaze was on me, pointed in the direction of the sob.

Tyler just nodded and let me get to my feet.

I walked softly into the dark hallway, Tyler right behind me.

At the end of the aisle I could make out a person sitting on the floor.

As I got even closer to it, I recognized a young man, maybe a little younger than Tyler.

Sitting there crying, he reminded me a bit of a frightened child.

His sobs were absolutely pathetic and he was shaking all over.

He seemed completely exhausted and didn't even notice Tyler and me.

I looked at Tyler uncertainly. He didn't seem quite sure what to do, either.

I knelt on the ground in front of the stranger. I gently touched his arm.

The poor guy jumped incredibly and stared at me, eyes wide with shock, but his lips were still trembling and soft sobs were still escaping him.

I looked worried. I clearly had to correct my first age assessment. In front of me was not an adult, but a youth of maybe 15, with fair hair and eyes and a ghostly white face.

Suddenly I noticed how he started to choke.

Tyler just didn't pull me away before the teen vomited straight to the floor.

Not much came, almost only bile. But there were small white parts in it.

"Pills.", Tyler murmured, startled.

"Stay here for a moment. I'll quickly find Luke.", he whispered quickly and quietly in my ear and immediately disappeared at werewolf speed.

The youth was shaking like anything else and seemed completely distraught.

"B-Please," he begged, whining, "I don't want to stay here. No matter how and if I die, I just want to get away."

I looked at the 15 year old, startled.

He wanted what?

It only lasted a few minutes, but it seemed like hours before someone finally came.

As I probably hadn't expected otherwise, and as Tyler had also announced, Luke, followed by Tyler, came towards us at werewolf speed and was suddenly in front of us for me.

The boy whimpered even more and almost seemed to be hyperventilating.

"Calm down, please!" Luke snapped at the youngster, unusually harsh.

I looked at him in surprise and Tyler also seemed irritated

. "

But he has to be able to do that. He will be Omega! There's nothing else he can do." Luke explained.

Tyler seemed satisfied with this explanation and nodded in understanding, while I only understood Bahnhof.

While I was aware that werewolves named positions in their pack after letters of the ancient Greek alphabet, I was not aware of any explanation for each item apart from alpha and beta.

All I knew was that omega was the last letter of the alphabet.

So if alpha and beta were the strongest two positions, maybe omega was the weakest?

I didn't know, but the youth's appearance also worked to confirm my suspicion.

He was slim, almost skinny, and didn't even look threatening to me as a human.

I didn't really understand all that, but I felt sorry for him.

Slowly, so as not to frighten him unnecessarily, I took a big step over the vomit and crouched next to him.

I gently poked a hand down his arm, hoping that he was okay with that and that maybe I could calm him down a bit.

The 15 year old seemed surprised and looked at me questioningly.

I try an encouraging smile to calm him down a bit.

It seemed to help, at least he was breathing more calmly.

Lule walked up to us and grabbed the youth's shoulders.

,,Come on now! We still have to flush your stomach. Who knows how many pills you've swallowed."

Anxious, the other person clung to my hand.

I looked at Luke and Tyler insecurely.

Tyler just gave me a questioning look while Luke kept his eyes on the teenager.

But I could see in his eyes that he was also sorry for this, but he didn't show it to the outside world.

I didn't know why Luke did that, but as far as I know 8hn, he only wanted to help the 15-year-old.

I slowly stood up and also pulled the boy on his feet.

Although nothing would have come of it if Luke hadn't pulled him up by the shoulders at the same time.

The youth was about my height, which was short for a werewolf.

Luke wanted to pull the other Wewolf with him, but he still held on to me, without hurting me, but he probably wouldn't loosen his grip for the time being.

Tyler came up next to me, probably trying to help me out of the hold.

However, I stopped him with a brief shake of the head.

With a nod, I indicated Luke to go, which he did after a short sigh and let go of the boy.

At human speed he started.

I followed him, pulling the young werewolf with me and giving him an encouraging smile while Tyler brought up the rear.

Because even if I didn't understand why Tyler was so harsh on the werewolf, the pills he had apparently swallowed with suicidal intent had to be taken out again, because even for a werewolf something like that couldn't be good with the best will in the world.
