Chapter 7
Jaime POV
“Having a hard time there?” That comment snapped Mykel out of his thoughts, I press the button next to my calls and asked for an omega team to prepare two bedrooms one for Elder Pezi and the other for Mykel, ones I was assured it was taken cared of I stepped out of my chair. I walked out to the side where he was still sitting, his hand on mouth, eyes fixed on my phone and his other hand in his pocket.
“ Mykel, I am a good actor and even better Alpha, don’t worry too much about me and go get ready for your interview, see you tomorrow morning Alpha” I get off the side of the desk I was leaning on.
He says nothing, just gets up and walks out with a pace, I walk up to my house, I had the construction team of my pack do this, I have a very small pack but they are everything to me. I’m aiming to building up my pack, I need a good alliance but my human ambitions really did a number in that.
‘We can get mate, she can help us.’ Kai tells me knowing well I do not approve.
I open the door to my house after the hand print allows my entry, the house is all windows with the front having a dark gray color to help hold certain windows, my house is in a cave literally, the outs of it looks like a house stuck in the cave.
Ones in, there’s a stair case going downstairs where the pool, the guests with gaming area is and another one going upstairs where my bedroom with my office is, there’s extra two rooms for my future pups, my mates office as well as a mini kitchen, then there’s a direct line that heads to the main kitchen and living room, where there’s a fireplace out of stones.
The bottom bottom holds all my cars, the back is a clear beautiful view of the back forest, there’s a clearing then the entrance to the woods. My home is controlled by me, I can give access to others to enter or not, not even my current mate has access to the house.
Speaking of, where could she be. I go up to our room and as I open the door I see her sleeping in the bed, she is currently 2 months pregnant and I can’t wait to have my pup here.
‘She is not mate, that pup, I’m not sure.’ Kai rehearses his lines over and over again, never giving up on the idea that our chosen mate tricked him into going all the way with her.
‘At least we are having our pup you can’t deny me that old timer.’ I tell him as I pick some clothes to go to bed, I take a good time taking the dirt and sweat off my body, been training every week and I am so glad it’s Friday.
*BOOM*
The house starts to shake, I hold on to the tiles but slip and fall in the shower. ‘Callum! What is happening?!’ I mind link my Beta.
My chain of command is very tight and I don’t allow outsiders to talk to us like other Alphas do, I’m very protective of my companions.
‘The wall, it’s bombed it’s falling apart and Alpha, Rogues are heading this way! We are outnumbered! What do we do!?’ I can hear his panic and I can feel my own rising.
‘Get everyone to the bunkers, we need our warriors to defend the week, all omegas who don’t know how to fight, elders, children, pregnant women and those who are handicapped go in the bunkers, any she wolf that knows how to fight and any wolf as well goes to help our warriors, have the hospital ready for an attack.’ I mind link my beta.
‘On it!’ He cuts off the mind link and another shake goes in my house, I mind link my Gamma, he is the one who has the contacts of other packs who are our alliances.
‘Xandros, report to me this instant!’ I finish bathing and go out of the bathroom, I open the door and my mate is awake but puking in the small trash can, I go to hold her and rub circles on her back, I need to go and help my pack.
‘Yes Alpha? I’m contacting our neighbors for their support, so far we have the Paw Pack who will be here in 4 hours, the Silver Moon Pack in 6 hours along with the Red Moon, Moonstone and The Green Pack.’ Did my Gamma just said Green Pack?
I kiss my mates forehead and go to get my phone that’s in the bathroom when I feel something sharp from the back of my head, the last thing I saw was the bottles flying out, the cabinets opened up and stuff getting smashed on the floor.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
I try opening my eyes but close them instantly, the bright light of the room is piercing and it catches me off guard. My head hurts, as if someone hit me with a bat. I try again to open my eyes but I give up. Rather take my chances and rest.
‘Kai? Are you there? Talk to me old boy?’ I get no responses. I need to obtain my strength, my body doesn’t hurt just my ungrateful head. I need to stay sane. Whatever is going on might have to be put on hold, I close my eyes and turn to sleep after hearing the beeping my head was starting to hurt even more then it was.
My house was under lockdown and I remember that I had nobody in the house, my mate was sleeping then she was picking in the trash, what could have happened that I am now in this situation.
“Relax buddy, I have the pack secure with the help of the Elders, the other Alphas are getting here and Mykel is in the dungeons cellar till this mess is over, rest.” I hear Callum tell me and with that I rest, but what if my mate.
Chapter 8
Susie POV
3 years before the attack on the pack, just arrived at the green pack.
I see Samie, or whoever this person is, take that dust away from me and my mom. I am so disoriented that I have no idea what to believe, I have no desire to feel anything. I just want to go and crawl under a bed and lay there till, god knows when. I stay quiet even though I know I should say what I feel, I should be angry, I should be a lot of things but I am just plain tired.
“Sue, sweety, how are you feeling?” My mom asks me as she tries to get near me, I haven’t been here in a really long time, I know where my room is so I just turn my heel and go to my room, I lock myself in it because I don’t want anyone. I just want to stay here and let everything consume me.
Why is it that anything I do to help, to be a better daughter, friend and even partner makes me live thru worse things, not even my own wolf wants me. I don’t even care to learn if she will ever come, I have lost all my hopes. I’m going to bench watch cold cases and eat like a pig. I need comfort and I know being in my room will give me that.
“Sue? Can I come in?” Samie asks from the out of my bedroom door, I change into my sweat pants and jacket hoodie shirt, I put on my bunny puffy socks, I let my hair free fully after that I slip under my covers, I start crying, I let it all out and from that I fall asleep, never answering her.
That went on for two more days, I need to stay here for a while longer is what I would have liked, I hear the door being knocked on and then it swings open. In comes my mom with Samie. I turn to face the wall of my room, under my covers.
“Susie, honey. You need to take a-” I cut her off, I hate when I am suffering and all I get is to be told what to do, no looking to comfort me, no asking me what topping I want, that makes me supper angry.
“No you need to leave me the hell alone, I don’t need to be told what to do or expect. Go to your mate and do it to him, leave me alone.” I say with tears going down, knowing strongly I don’t have a mate because I don’t have a wolf, I start to cry even harder.
“Susie, we need to tell you things are important but we can’t if you still feel this hurt, we don’t want to hurt you, your mom means well, it maybe difficult but we are here if you need us” that's all she tells me, I hear her take steps back and I can feel my mom do the same. I hear the door close and I am stuck again in the same place.
Three in the morning and I get out of bed to go to the kitchen to get some soda, pizza and then go back to watch horror movies, what I wasn’t expecting was bumping into someone.
“Auch, what’s the big idea in hitting me? Can’t you look in front of you?” I am annoyed at the big brut, it felt like I hit a person, when I look my embarrassed face starts to show.
“Same to you, can’t look with your eyes close Princess?” Comes an energized guy, he sounds agitated about this, I was simply walking and he came out of nowhere.
“Princess? Listen here I have had enough guys acting all Alpha on me. Get your sh** and get out of my sight.” I say with one hand on my hip and the other on my head rubbing the bridge of my nose, that was a hard hit.
“Susie right?” His voice tries to sound all hard and difficult to get, I hate guys that act like they can take it all and be like nothing. What is up with guys these days?
“That’s right and you are?” I say flat out and with no fu*** given.
“Neo, can’t believe you don’t even know the names of the people in your pack. We see all doomed.” Answer Neo a bit sour.
I walk to the nearest light switch, and as soon as I switch it on there’s a slim teenager, not all muscles but he looks good, he reminds me of Alpha Lame. Grate.
He moves to the side while I keep rubbing my nose, knowing everyone’s names of this pack. I am a horrible step daughter. I left to another’s pack and was in a relationship with another pack and I’m now back where I started.
“Look Ne-o, I get you have an issue with being a gentleman so I will just go.” My voice comes out with a yawn at the end, not even considering it’s freaking two in the morning.
“Oh no, I'm a gentleman but I am also no pushover. You can’t bump into others and act like a brat. Say you're sorry and I will let you go.” He steps in front of me, as I try to leave.
“Why? You bumped into me?” I say to him straight he is not that tall 5.09 tops, why is he being difficult?
“No” he crosses his hands on his bare chest. So I push myself to go behind him. He holds me in place.
“Why are you having such a difficult time just doing something so simple?”
He tilts his head and raises his eyebrows at me. Are you for real?
“Let go of me or I will scream!” I say a bit louder than I was intending but I’m so drained I just want to go to bed again after stuffing myself from food, I wasn’t aware I started crying again.
“Hey hey hey, no crying. Look, all I was asking was for a small apology, geese you big baby get out of my sight then, see if I care if you get in trouble.” He lets go of me and I speed to the kitchen, jerk.
Chapter 9
It was so good to see stacks of pizza, ice cream and pastries. They all smell incredible and I missed the ocean candy they get delivered from the small islands around.
I grab everything and like 3 liters of soda to go to my room, I have the lights on so I don’t bump again to unwelcome guys or people in general. As soon as I arrive to my room, I set everything up and when I turn I face Neo.
Can’t the guy leave me alone for crying out loud, I have been rejected enough from two guys and when I need no guy is when he shows up. Ugh. My face falls at the sight of him, he however doesn’t look fased, not even for a second.
“Get out of my door frame.” It’s like having a baby brother but worse, it’s a man child.
“I’m sorry for making it worse. I heard from the Luna you got double rejected and your wolf less. I wasn’t expecting that.” He says nervous and awkward I think, I don’t even know nor do I care, my mom always tells others my business as if she has it all together.
“That’s none of your retarded business. Get out.” I am done with this, if he won’t go then I will make him go.
“What? Look if you need a friend I’m here, I’m the Betas son…” He starts his conversation but I’m done with talking so I push him out, he looks at me with a shocked face, what? Mykel used to do that all the time to me and I got used to it.
I shut the door and go to bed to finally be at peace. I am so done with this. I don’t care if I ever get my wolf. I don’t mind becoming that cat lady everyone fears or embraces, all I want is just to breathe on my own terms.
I don’t have a clue at what time it is but I know it’s day. I get up and see my room is clean, who the hell got in my room now, I breath heavy and see my mom at the door, I’m done.
“Why is it so hard for you to freaking leave me alone?! Am I asking you to commit a crime with that?!” I yell with anger in my voice, at the audacity of how I am being ignored.
“Susie respect me, I only worry for you. The things that happened to you aren’t easy and I care” she says dryer then I thought she would.
“No, you just don’t want to hear or deal with me. Get out of my room Reemy.” I almost never use my mom's name only when I have had enough.
I get up and go to the door to close it but before I do the door hits something, when I see it’s Alpha Dante’s hand on the door. Okay, now her mate is coming to save her, nobody listens to me and now nobody cares for what I want.
“Susie, come to my office this instant.” She talks roughly while giving my mom a glare eyes, I put in my fluffy sandals and get my cell that I haven’t checked in days.
As we walk to his office, my cell shows more then 317 texts, messages and voicemails. I block Mykels number and information. I’m done with that guy, I only leave it on my cell because like Jaime he is also an Alpha… Jaime. Just by saying his name it makes my chest hurt.
“Take a seat.” He says as the door is staying open and one’s more my mom is in the room, shocker. But I wasn’t expecting Samie to be here or the Beta with his kid, I take my seat and look at the desk.
“Now, I know you are still morning the triple rejection but I’m not going to have you stay in it either. Susie, your a Gammas daughter and a Lunas daughter, granted I never had my own children but I was a kid ones.” He starts with his speech, I breath out hard. Done with all of this.
“Okay.” Is all I answer with, it’s all I say till I get back to my room, where I am safe.
“Susie, you will be Alpha of this pack, you do know that right?” He says it plain and I’m not moved. I would gladly give it to the dude that bumped me last night.
“Okay.” I can see my mom getting annoyed at me and disappointed. Good, I’m making myself clear with this.
“Neo is a good man, h-“ I cut him off like a knife.
“He bumped into me last night didn’t even try to be respectful to me and was being a total sore eye and you call him a man? Wow do I misjudge people wrongfully.” My mom was about to say something and so was Neo when Alpha speaks ahead.
“Susie.” Alpha says with tone.
“Yes?” I move my hand to scratch my leg that’s hitching me, I need to wax my legs.
“Your mom is my second chance mate. Did you knew that?” He says holding her hand, yes I knew because I grew up having other people tell me what to expect and how to live my life while my so called parents were to busy enjoying their own life.
“Yes I knew. I also know you can’t have kids because your first mate made you have your cables switched permanently and I also know I had to live with you while you focus fully on Reemy. Also to finish this drama of yours, I left to get away from you two. Not to be received again. But it was either this or go rogue, goddess forbid a Gamma and Lunas daughter go rogue.” I say the last part in full sarcasm, he isn’t happy but I don’t care.
Considering my position in my life going rogue wouldn’t be a horrible thing.
