A Month with Werewolves
tell if that will ever
happen.”
    The tension in the room seemed to build with
each word that left Devon's mouth, and I suddenly felt unwelcome.
Still, it was important to finish up my interview so that I could
have at least one out of the way.
    “Does everyone secretly hate it here?” I
questioned.
    “No, not everyone.” His answer surprised me.
“Some have flourished here, like Emmett and Margaret and Terry and
Rick. Some think that life here is better than on the outside. But
those are few and far between. A few flourish. Most just tolerate
this life . . . and there are a few that absolutely detest it,
unable to cope with their loss.”
    “Do you think that you detest it more because
you're an omega?”
    “Probably,” Devon admitted. “No one likes to
be the one served a shit sandwich every day of their life. It sucks
because I get picked on a lot. In fact, in this made-up werewolf
society, it's encouraged to pick on the omega. Not like in your
world where there are anti-bullying laws. That makes my shitty life
all the more shitty. To be honest, I was never happier when they
said they were going to bring you on, not because I gave a shit
about escorting you around, but because I knew no one else would
want to do it, and that meant I got out of shit scooping duty for
an entire month. So, even if I do end up omega again after the
hierarchy trials, I'll at least have a few more weeks of easy
living. Plus, when I'm by your side, the pack has been instructed
not to bully me. In essence, you're pretty much like a one-month
vacation for me.”
    While I should have been offended by what
Devon was saying, I couldn't help but sympathize with his position.
He certainly had it a lot harder than the other werewolves and was
fully entitled to his bitterness.
    “Then I would have you by my side at all
times.” I smiled at him, feeling a strong need to protect him from
the cruelty of the other wolves.
    Devon's expression softened, and he returned
my gesture with a grin. “You must think I'm a real asshole
now.”
    “No. The exact opposite, actually. I
appreciate your honesty. It's rather refreshing.”
    “I can only be a puppet for so long, and not
very long, apparently. Just please, don't let word get out about
what I've told you. Remember that when you leave, things return to
normal for me, and I wouldn't want them to get any worse than they
already are.”
    “I won't say a word.”
    “And try to avoid writing anything negative
in that notebook of yours. It could make things harder for you
during your stay here. Keep the bad stuff to memory, and put it in
your report once you leave this place.”
    “I appreciate the advice.”
    “Well, despite my words, I would like for
your stay here to be pleasant.”
    It was strange how much Devon had changed
since we had begun the interview. At first, he had been jittery and
annoying, but now, he seemed just as calm and intelligent as most
of the other people I had met on the reservation.
    With the vast majority of my questions
answered, I decided to take my leave. Despite having told Devon
that he could follow me wherever I went, I knew that he would not
want to follow me to my next interview. After lunch, I would be
taking Emmett for a one on one, and I was very interested to see
how the story and outlook of the alpha were different from that of
the omega.
