Supernaturals: Legends of Iris.
Seven

" Well hello to you too dear daughter." Dylan Gonzalez replied sarcastically. Iris smiled and hugged her parents.

Everyone was shocked, well everyone except Rose. It seemed like nobody knew that Iris was their offspring.

" No wonder she's so good. Greatness runs in her blood." Bryan muttered.

The doors opened once again and a guy walked in. Iris grinned and hugged him tightly.

Claws growled but I ignored him.

' He's touching our mate!'

' Shut up Claws!"

" Is that her boyfriend?" I asked Rose and she snorted.

" That's her younger brother." She replied before walking off to greet them.

' Happy now?'

' Very. You should be more concerned about our mate.' He stated and I rolled my eyes.

I was in my 6th period class when Travis or as most students call him Mr T, sent for me.

I opened the door of his office to see Iris and her parents seated.

Mr T gestured at me to take a sit and I sat down close to the wall.

" Dylan, Emma this is Cole Hernandez."

" So you're the young prodigy that everyone has been buzzing about." Dylan said playfully and I smiled.

" It's such an honour to meet you." I said and Emma smiled.

" We're pulling Iris from Crest Hill High." Dylan suddenly stated.

" What?!" Iris exclaimed.

" Dylan, you don't have to-"

" Look Travis it's been two months and she hasn't shifted." Emma said cutting in.

" Look, Iris you obviously don't fit in here."

" I didn't fit in at my old school either?!" Iris exclaimed.

" You're just not ready." Dylan stated.

" Just because I haven't shifted doesn't mean I'm not ready. And it doesn't make me any less of a supernatural." Iris retorted.

" Iris is one of the smartest students at Crest Hill. And she is a top ranked fighter. I believe she's ready and that she'll shift soon.

Look, there's this competition coming up at Beacon Hill Academy. It's a competition for shifters and I want Iris representing the school. She's going to be training extensively with Cole, Rose and some other shifters and maybe this will help trigger her powers." Mr T explained.

" How far away is the competition?"

" About a month from now."

" Fine!, She until then. But if she doesn't shift were taking her away from this school." Dylan stated and Mr T nodded.

Iris stormed out of the office and I excused myself and went after her.

" You okay?" I asked.

" No." She replied.

" I'm not going to tell you I understand how you feel because I obviously don't." I said and she cracked a smile.

" I just can't believe they want to take me away from here. It was their idea to come here in the first place." She said.

" They're just worried about you."

" No!, They're worried about their reputation."

" Come on, don't be like that. They obviously really care about you."

" I guess you're right. I'm just really mad at them."

" I get it." I replied.

" I just wish I could just shift. Maybe then they'll know I'm ready." She muttered.

" I know you're ready. Sure you haven't shifted but I've seen you handle weapons and you are incredibly deadly with them." I said and she smiled.

The bell rang signifying the end of 6th period. Students began to fill the hallway and they were staring at Iris and I.

" Aren't you going for lunch?" She asked me.

" Nah!, You?"

" I don't eat in the dining hall." She replied quietly.

" Why not?" I asked as we walked down the hallway.

" Too many judging eyes. But I'm assuming you don't understand."

" Why'd you say that?" I asked defensively.

" Because!, You're the school's golden boy."

" Doesn't mean I don't get judged. You, just just judged me." I retorted and she rolled my eyes.

" Oh!, I am so sorry for judging you Master, what shall I do to be worthy of your forgiveness?!" She exclaimed sarcastically.

" Very well then peasant, show me where you have your lunch." I said playing along and she rolled her eyes smiling.

" Okay but first we have to stop by my locker." She said.

We talked about different things as we walked to her locker and I could feel the bond getting stronger. Our conversation was so natural, it was clearly meant to be.

When we got to her locker she switched out some books and she took out a small tote bag.

" Okay now we're going to my top secret hideout." She said and I grinned.

I was so satisfied with being this close to her that I accidentally let out a whimper.

Iris looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

" You okay?"

" Yeah, I'm good. My wolf's been going haywire lately."

" Okay. So you're a werewolf.?"

" Yeah."

" So how does it feel?"

" I'm not aware that it's supposed to feel a certain way." I said and she punched me playfully. By now we were getting lots of stares but we really didn't care.

" Well, you guys are shifters but you also have your own fractions so, it must feel pretty special."

" Trust me, it's really nothing."

" So is it true that wolves hate vampires?"

" Not really, sure we tend to fight a lot but we don't hate them."

We ended up in the training area and Iris showed me the secret passage to a hidden room that she had customised for herself.

" Sit." She said pulling me a bean bag chair.

" Thanks."

" So you guys live in villages or something?"

" They're called packs. And every pack has a name, slogan and an Alpha."

" So what's your pack's slogan?"

" Honor, virtus et fortitude. It's Latin. It means Honour, Strength and Courage. My dad's the Alpha."

" Is it true that the Alphas are determined by birth?"

" It's kind of complicated. Children from an Alpha bloodline are stronger, faster and have bigger wolves than regular werewolves so most times, they end up being Alphas. But it is possible to transfer the Alpha title to another wolf that is not from an Alpha bloodline. But the regular wolf doesn't get the cool powers, only the title."

" Have you met your mate yet?" She asked curiously.

Yes!

" No!" I replied.

" Okay. I'm sorry I'm being so nosy I just have a lot of questions about wolves. And no wolf at this school is willing to answer them."

" It's fine." I said.

I was secretly glad that they didn't answer her questions because I got to spend more time with her because of it.

She brought out a small jar of cookies and a small tub from the tote bag.

" Want some?" She asked and I shook my head.

" I insist. These are my mum's choclate chip cookies. They are to die for!" She said. I took a cookie from her and took a huge bite.

" Woah!"

" I know right!, My mum makes a pretty mean choclate chip cookie. Wait till you try out my dad's homemade ice cream." She said opening the small tub to reveal a softened Neapolitan ice-cream.

She took a spoon and scooped some ice-cream onto a cookie and then she put another cookie on top making an ice-cream sandwich.

She gave it to me and made another one for herself.

" Coach will probably kill us if he sees us eating this." I reasoned.

" Everyone deserves a cheat day." She replied smirking then she took a huge bite out of her sandwich.

" This is really weird." I said once I was done with mine.

" What?" She asked swallowing the last piece of her sandwich.

" Eating something your parents made."

" How is it weird?"

" Your parents are some of the fiercest shapeshifters ever. It kind of hard to imagine your mum baking or your dad mixing ingredients for ice-cream." I said and she laughed and it was music to my ears.

" So it's much easier to imagine them slaying dragons or fighting monsters?"

" Yes!, I can't even imagine your dad mowing the lawn or your mum doing laundry!"

" I've heard people talk about how amazing my parents are but to me, they're just my parents. Regular old Dylan and Emma Gonzalez."

" Trust me when I say that they are far from regular. Have you even read about any of their adventures?!"

" I have but I think some things were exaggerated. In the book my dad tore the jaw of a monster. In real life he can't even open a jar of pickles for the old lady across the street!"

" He's probably toning down his strength. Nobody likes a show off." I said defensively and she rolled her eyes.

We spent the whole of lunch talking about different things and I was sure that I had found my mate.
