Chapter Four

Thoughts

“Well, that just amazed me.” I respond and glance at how great she looks.

When she was preparing pancakes I was glaring at her. Typical me.

You stupid wolf! My wolf tells mean and I look as she blushes again and looks away.

“I made them.” She informs me five minutes afterward.

By now my belly had howled and now I know why she’s half of the day hungry. I peek over and I look at the world’s fluffiest pancakes just lying there waiting for me to eat them.

“Well, aren’t you even going to try them?” She requests me and I restrain myself to say she is a great cook because even though my wolf is urging me to confess to her that I like them but I know that she’ll mistake me for a soft person and not my usual self like I am in front of the others.

I stroll over to her, takde a plate and pick up some pancakes. I cut through the fluffy pancakes and sigh as I know that if I try being the man I am she will just become scared of me. And that’s not how it supposed to go.

I take a generous bite from her pancakes. Why are they so splendid? The paste is just rushing in my mouth.

“They’re good!” I tell her and she relaxes her body.

“I never expected that reply.” She tells me and takes a seat.

She chews and remains silent. It looks as if she is far in thought. I want to poke her but I will know that will cause a weird stillness between both of us.

After ten minutes she stands up and puts her plates in the dishwasher. She lingers and suddenly moves away into the garden and selects a chair and I watch as she still is far in thought.

Hailey’s P.O.V

I watch as he inches towards the pancakes and I watch as he remains emotionless. That is a thing dad always did to mom whenever she made something new.

This thought comes into my mind if he will hurt me after what happened with Alpha Ruther? That is a particularly tragic tragedy. What if he does that because these stories are true?

I take a seat and think about the possibilities of this. I watch as he notices me. I act normal and I eat but still deep in thought remembering the information I once heard in a family meeting about his family at the pack house. It was about his family.

Flashback

I look around and try not to mind this tense scenario that has just risen. It is my summer holidays and there is an extremely serious pack meeting going on. I didn’t want to come but mom forced me to.

I watch as our Alpha gets ready for a long speech and everyone in the room winces.

“So pack members as you know a problem has rose from our borders with Alpha Roberts (father of Alpha Chris) he is trying to put down their packs become his pack members. This is a good excuse to remain silent because if we talk we will just stir him.” He says in pain.

Everyone stays quiet.

Flashback ends

I’m shocked at what I just remembered. I know that Chris is noticing me but I know better so I shut up and go to his garden which I had the privilege to look in the morning.

I take a seat and immerse myself deep in my thoughts. The real thoughts are about running away but I know better than that. I don’t want to make this a cheesy story in which a Luna runs away and the Alpha and looks for her almost for his life I laugh.

I notice it is almost 12 and I enter the house to find his scent so strong that I felt as if I am passing out. I search around to do something and I see a T. V sitting there waiting for me to watch it. But first I need to change my clothes.

I go into our room and I watch as he is not there either. I nod because that will just make it easier for me. Thank god he hasn’t marked me yet. I would die.

I change into a large grey sweater which is plain and hood less. I wear black leggings with Adidas imprinted on it. I walk out, wear fluffy slippers and take my phone.

I sit on the sofa and go through my hundred of the received text messages. I take to respond to all of them but I do it.

I scroll down my i******** feed and look up on what the celebrities are doing. Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson broke up? I had been expecting this.

I scroll down below and I look at a picture of my ex-boyfriend David sitting on a rock. Ugly, fat, a piece of s**t. My wolf tells me. He caused me so much pain but he deserved it.

I go on Snapchat and see my recent. After some time and I read and it’s eight. I almost drop my phone. This is some serious s**t I tell myself.

I stand up and kinda try to guide my way to through his house. I look at many rooms and I give up and go on my endless life of social media. It never bores me. It’s so weird I can spend millions of years on it.

A few minutes later he enters and passes me a weird look.

“What?” I ask him.

“Nothing.” He asks me.

Why the f**k is he so annoying? I roll my eyes and go back to my job of texting my bestie Penelope.

Girl we have known each other since we were 4. She understands me. She found her mate which is my ex-boyfriend David. Ah, poor soul. Hope she gets over from playing with others broken toys.

I gape at my phone. I text her. Yep, he was just as surprised as me. She texts me back. I sent her two blue hearts as it is our favorite color and wish her good luck.

My wolf is screaming for attention. I smile at her.

I think you are ignoring your mate, she tells me.

I realize I keep ignoring everything and I watch as he is not in the same room anymore. I stand up confused by his mysterious disappearance and try to follow his thick scent around my house.

I don’t think I should do this.
