Chapter 6 parts

“ boss.” Creed yelled barging into the guest room I’m staying in

“What?” I mumbled with a pillow over my head 

“ The stuff for the cameras should arrive tomorrow morning” he announced 

“ okay? You woke me up to tell me that?” I growled tucking the pillow around my head 

“ yeah so you can get a move on with Charlotte because we will be leaving in three day?” He huffed tugging on the blanket 

“ get the fuck out Creed” I yell 

“ Okay but that’s your funeral when you miss out on it.” He states I don’t say anything till I hear the door close 

“ fucking prick” I mumble to myself 

I plan on leaving rather it’s with or without her. If she doesn’t say anything to me when I go to leave then it really wasn’t meant to be. I don’t care either way. Grunting I push myself out of bed and to the bathroom. That's a lie I do care, but I care enough to know it's okay for her not to want to live the life I do. It isn't safe at least not right now it's not. I don't know what this wolf is after yet and the last thing I need is to bring my mate to a pack that could make her a target to be next.Taking a quick piss, and shower. I grab some clean clothes out of the bags I still haven’t put away and get dressed. I decided to shave because I’m starting to look like a caveman. Once I finish I head downstairs boots in hand 

“ Hey grandma, do you need any work done around the house?” I ask taking a seat in the chair across from her 

“ What do you mean dear?” She asked scrunching her eyebrows as she sets a cup of hot chocolate down in front of me.

“ I mean like walls painted, something fixed that broke, a light switch that doesn’t work, anything.” I asked 

“ ahhh you are trying to keep yourself busy so you don’t think about how you are going to end it with Charlotte.” She giggles 

“ No grandma, I just need something to do till the parts get here" I grunted irritated with the fact that everyone's okay with joking around about it 

“ Alright, well you can start by fixing that sink behind you. It drips water even when it’s fully off.” 

“Anything else?” I asked 

“ One thing at a time dear, fix that first because Charlotte will be here soon and she’s going to want to cook the fresh food she got from the market. And I know that dripping sink gets on her nerves. She doesn’t say anything. You can see her every now and then turning the water on and off trying to get it to stop.” She explains 

I slip my boots on and go out to the garage for my grandpa's tools. When I find them I notice he doesn’t have many and they have rusted over for the most part. I make a note to myself to buy him new tools, even though he doesn’t fix things that much anymore he still would like the thought. Heading back over to the sink I open the cabinet door underneath and look at the rusted pipes.

“ grandma!” I yelled 

“ yes?” She yelled back from the living room walking in there I sit next to her

“ Was this house already here when you got here?” I asked her 

“ Yes , both houses came with the land.” She explained 

“ you need new pipes, I can run to a hardware store to get some if you’d like me to replace them.” I told her 

“ Do you know your way into town?” 

“ uh yeah I think so I remember the way we went when we went shopping.” I explained 

“ very well you can take my car to get what it is you need” she said pointing the keys hanging on a hook by the door.

“ thanks grandma” I tell her, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

The trip there and back took a little longer than expected. I didn't know how hard it would be to find a hardware store. I did get him his new tools and tossed out the old rusted ones. I managed to get it fixed before Charlotte got here. I'll admit knowing it irritated her made me want to fix it even more. I may not want to push her into anything but while I'm here I don't want to see her sad or upset about anything.  I pulled grandma's car into the garage and spent the rest of the day changing her oil, brake pads, rotating her tires, cleaning and vacuuming out her car and changing her spark plugs. She told me I didn’t have to do it, that Charlotte would take it to get looked at if she told her something was wrong with it. But I just needed a way to help me get through the day without having to see her. Obviously I didn’t tell my grandma that because then she’ll be mad at me.

“ hey your cars done” I yell into the house as I wash my hands at the sink

“ You are dirty.” Charlotte giggles from behind me 

“ yeah I’ve been working on stuff for my grandma.” 

“ Yeah, grams told me. Is it because you leave in a few days?” She asked 

“ Yeah, I’m not sure when I’ll be back.” I explain 

“ Oh I see.” She looked sad for a moment and it broke my heart seeing that look on her face. Brushing it off I change the subject 

“ Yeah, so how was your day?” I asked, turning around. She has her hair down with a knitted long sleeve black dress  on with brown boots that go up to her knees. 

“ It was fine. I went to the market again this morning because I noticed they were out of milk and eggs.” She explain 

“ alone?” I don't like the fact that she drove so far away alone. Anything could of happened 

“ Yes, alone I was going by myself before you and your friends came along. I'm perfectly capable.” She states shrugging her shoulders 

“ yeah yeah, I went to town by myself too.”  I smirked 

“ I know grams told me how you got lost.” She giggled 

“ I didn’t get lost, I just didn’t know there’s only one hardware store.” I grumble 

“ anyways it’s late so I gotta get going” she says grabbing her coat and walking toward the door

“ Hey Charlotte.” I mumble

“ yeah?” She says putting her coat on

“ nothing have a good night” 

“ you to Alexander.” She says smiling before walking out the door closing it behind her. I listen closely as her feet crunch with every step from the snow. I watch her outside the window when she comes into view to make sure she makes it home okay. Once she reached her door and closed it behind her I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding 

“ You know watching her walk away is kinda sad.” Creed said sneaking up on me 

“ what do you know?” 

“ I know that you are having some kind of feelings for the girl that you don’t know what to do with so you are ignoring them.” He shrugs looking out to her house as well 

“ you sound just like my grandma” I hiss 

“ then it’s true if more than one person is seeing it. Maybe she sees it too and that’s why she hasn’t said anything.” He tells me 

“ maybe. Or maybe she’s come to her senses that I’m too much to handle.” I mumble 

“ how would you know that if you don’t ask her?” He says 

“ ask her what?” Ryan walks in stuffing his face with a muffin 

“ nothing dip shit. Finish’s your muffin so we can go patrol the area before bed.” Creed tells him and he nods, shoving the rest of his muffin in his mouth. I shake my head at the both of them as I walk upstairs for bed. He’s right maybe I’ve pushed her away with the way I feel on the inside. The bond isn’t strong yet because we have accepted each other and finished the mating bond so she can’t feel what I do but is it that obvious to tell? 

I kicked off my boots and took my pants off. Laying in bed I pull the covers over my head. Would she reject me before I leave? Would she ask me if she can come with? Or would she just continue to not say anything at all about it and leave me here to guess if I did something wrong?
