What are you waiting for

I have always heard that there are narcissists who could not hear what others say and do what they had in their mind. But I had never thought that I would meet the best example of it. The man was not even listening.

"I do not think that it would be appropriate!" I shook my head and took steps away. He did not learn to listen. I did not want to go to a pack where there were all like him. It was hard to handle one, I could not even think of handling many like him.

He eyed me as if I was spouting nonsense.

"Do not worry little pup. I am the alpha of the pack so no one would be able to deny my orders." he replied with haughtiness as if he owned the world. I titled my head at his reply. Alpha! I had heard this word in the novels before.

Looking at my confused face, he snorted.

"What? Are you also shocked that i am the alpha at such a young age?" see this was his level of narcissism. He was sure that I could only think about him. I rolled my eyes at his self praised words.

"What? Is there any other problem?" his voice turned suspicious and I shook my head.

"No! No! I was just marveling at your achievements." the smile returned on his face as he nodded.

"I have told you that I am the youngest alpha around. But my pack is the strongest in this area. We do not worry about humans as we have the capacity to hid every feature of our body. You badly need to learn that. Just look at you hair and shoulders. You need to hide all this. Do not worry, i will train you well. Then you can roam among humans without any fear to get hunted.

In fact, you already have their smell. So you only need to hide your features, not like us.'' I opened my mouth to deny him but his words caught me off guard. He could help me in hiding my identity. All these changes in me. Then I would be able to go and live among humans without any fear of being hunted. Didn't that mean that I would be able to live with my family again.

I nodded my head vigorously and a smirk formed on his lips. God! Give me the strength to handle this narcissist!

"I have told you we are not like your weak pack. You should be grateful that i took pity on you." would the commoners felt like that in front of their emperor too in olden times. I could only laugh awkwardly and control my desire to punch him to wipe that smirk off his face.

"Of course, I would be grateful to you all my life." I nodded my head, feeding his narcissism. A proud and satisfied smile filled his face.

"Then let's go and hunt. We have to leave early too." hunt! Did he mean killing animals. But we did not have arrows or guns. Then my eyes fell on his hands which were growing into claws.

He tilted his head as he looked at me and then at my hands. Thank goodness, I already have claws.

"You should hide it when you do not need it. Now follow me!" Even if I had claws, I was sure that I could not hunt or eat raw meat like him. Yet the way his penetrative eyes looked at me, I could only nod and follow him.

He jumped in the air so high that my jaw hit the floor. I did not know that anyone could jump this high and for so long. He almost crossed the road with a single jump. Damn! He was so powerful!

"What are you waiting for?" he asked with a smirk as he looked at my shocked face.

"Come on, I am sure, even a pup like you could jump." there he went again. What a narcissist! If he had not praised himself, then I would have praised him too.

I nodded and tried to jump. I may not know anything else, but I know one thing for sure. I knew jumping and fighting.

I gave him a proud look as I jumped high too. Though it was not as long as him, it was a good high jump that even he nodded in appreciation.

"At least, they trained you well before leaving you." here it goes the story of abandoning again.

He continued to jump and I followed him when he finally stopped and sniffed the air.

"There is an injured deer nearby." he told me and i sniffed too. I was sure that I would not be able to smell a living animal, but I was so wrong. I was able to smell the distinct smell of blood and hear the troubled breathing of an animal.

He took slow steps, not making any sound and we followed the smell. Soon, we saw two deer. One of them was injured and the other was trying to help it.

They were looking so beautiful that it felt like a mesmerizing scene. But what was beautiful for me, for him it was food. He saw them with bloodlust.

And in a swift motion he jumped on them and killed the other too.

My eyes widened as I saw both of them falling on the ground with a body full of blood. They struggled a bit before going completely limp. I closed my eyes and my face shrunk. I could not see him killing being like that even if it was for filling his stomach.

Completely oblivious to my misery, he continued to shred the animals from his mouth. I could hear his ferocity, the strength he was using to tear their flesh, making me cringe and I felt nauseated that i wanted to run far away from there. but he was not yet satisfied with that.

"What are you waiting for? Are you not hungry?"
