I watch as my Gamma runs to my house from Amy’s. What the fuck is he doing? Why is he talking to her all of the sudden? And why is it pissing me off so bad?
Once he steps inside, I grab him by the throat and throw him into the wall. “What the fuck are you doing?” I yell, not understanding my own emotions. “Put him down, Liam.” My father comes out of nowhere and calmly commands me. I growl but let my friend down. He smirks up at me, “Goddess, I was only talking to her. What’s the big deal?” Dallas asks. That’s the problem, I don’t know what the big deal is. I haven’t spoken to Amy since we were twelve. Why do I care that he’s talking to her. When I saw him talking to her at lunch though it took everything in me not to rip his head off, now he’s walking her home. Fuck! I need to get myself under control.
“The problem is that she’s human. She shouldn’t even know about our existence, let alone start seeing any of us!” I shout, still not having my temper one hundred percent under control. My dad walks over, being a busy body today of all days. “I don’t see the problem. She already knows of our existence, her and her mom don’t go around telling anybody, and Dallas still has a couple months until he turns eighteen. Let’em have some fun, until he can find his mate.” My anger flares at him saying let them have some fun. Is my dad the new pimp of the pack? I growl at my dad, giving him warning to leave us alone, but he is the Alpha of the pack. There isn’t much I can do if he wants to stay. He laughs at me and goes on his merry way. Just then Cole and Walker come into the house. I look through the door and see Amy greeting Mia at her door, before Cole shuts the door interrupting my stalking.
Luckily, no one seems to notice. I finally give up on Dallas and we all move to the game room. I grab a pool stick and so does Walker, and I go to break. “So, what’s up with you and Amy?” Cole asks Dallas, while they both grab a drink from mini fridge. He smirks at me and then answers Cole, “I’m not sure. She said something funny in the lunch line today, and now I can’t stop thinking about her.” My pool stick breaks from the pressure I had it under while listening to him. He smirks over at me again, “Future Alpha over here doesn’t want me to be talking to her though.” They all look over at me questioningly. I shrug and grab a beer from the fridge. I don’t know what they want me to say, and I have no idea what I want to say, so I’ll just stay quiet.
“When I asked her, what was going on, she wasn’t very friendly.” Cole says laughing, Dallas looks at him with murder in his eyes. “What did you say?” He asks accusingly, Cole smirks. “Just asked her what was going on and she waded up my note and threw it away!” Cole says looking hurt. A small laugh comes from Dallas, “I invited her to the party this weekend.” Dallas informs us not remarking on Cole talking to Amy, causing my hair to stand on ends. “You did what?” I shout, they all look at me confused but they try and laugh it off. “Is she coming?” Walker asks, I intently listen. For some reason I’m not sure which answer I’m hoping for. “No, she says she has plans.” Dallas answers, and for some reason I deflate a little. Walker laughs, and speaks, “Well, that’s bullshit.” I look at him confused. He rolls his eyes, “Mia’s coming to the party. Mia’s her only friend. She has no plans she just didn’t want to come with you.” He explains looking straight at Dallas and smirks at him, I see him deflate just a little. I don’t know why, but that makes me smile.
He hops off the counter he was leaning against and pulls out his phone. He starts texting someone. Cole laughs, “Are you texting her?” Dallas smirks and nods. The fact that he has her number has me feeling a certain type of way, but I don’t understand it.
Soon, we hear his phone chime, and we all seem interested on what she has to say. “Says her mom wants to hang out with her on Saturday, so she’s spending the day with her.” Dallas smirks. I can tell he has a plan, but I still don’t think it’s the best idea to have her come to the party. She gets bullied enough at school, who knows how much worse it could be without any adults. “Whatcha thinking?” Cole asks Dallas. He looks up at us with a big smile, “I’m thinking, mom’s love me.” That gets a laugh from everybody but me.
“It’s really not a good idea. Clara and the girls are going to be here, and you know how they are with her. Plus, Olive has a thing for you, it’ll get that much worse for her if Olive sees her hanging out with you.” I try and reason with them, because clearly I would have to Alpha command them to listen to me at this point, and I don’t have that ability just yet. Walker and Cole seem to think about it, but Dallas has anger written all over his face. “I’ll kill all of them if they lay a finger on her.” He says slowly, and murderously. I’ve literally never seen him act like that in my life. Does he actually have feelings for her? How? They literally just started talking today.
I look at him like he’s grown an extra head. He seems to cool off, but I guess I was wrong. “Just keep your slut and her friends away from us.” He says calmly, but a growl comes from the back of his throat. He hasn’t taken his eyes off me, then he walks out of the room. A few seconds later I hear my front door slam shut. What the fuck just happened? I look at Walker and Cole, who look just as dumbfounded as me. Cole speaks first, “Fuck, did she put a love spell on him or something? What the fuck was that?”
I don’t think she could have put a love spell on him. All witches live outside pack lands, and she never leaves. How would she have gotten ahold of one? The question still needs an answer, because I don’t know why my gamma is acting like that. “Yeah, we’re gonna have to figure out what’s going on, because that.” I gesture toward the door, “can’t be happening.”
I see my mom coming downstairs, but she stops in the doorway. “A love spell? Seriously?” My mom says, while rolling her eyes. She’s always had a soft spot for Amy, she was never happy with me that I cut off contact with her. “Did you see him?” Walker asks her, gesturing at the door. She laughs, “You guys ever think maybe if you got to know her, you’d like her to? You boys sit over here in your ivory tower and think because she’s not a part of it that she isn’t worth it. And as someone who does love her, I can promise you she’s worth it. And Liam before you got your wolf you thought she was worth it to. You boys still have so much growing up to do.” She rolls her eyes and walks back up the stairs.
Leave it to my mom to throw me under the bus and walk away. What is up with my parents today, all team Amy right now. Not saying they don’t love her, but they aren’t usually so blatant about throwing it in my face.
I look over at my friends and shrug, not wanting any questions. I grab another beer while Walker and Cole grab the remotes, to start playing some video game. What is going on right now? Everything feels off. It can’t all be just because Dallas wants to be with Amy.
“There has to to be a way to locate her, Hazel.” I beg her to come up with something, anything. She shakes her head, “I can only do a locator spell on someone when I have something of theirs.” She says looking at me apologetically.A loud grunt leaves me as I throw my back into the chair. There has to be something we can do. Has to be something to help us find this witch.Liam, while better, is still distant and always makes sure there’s someone in the room with us at all times.He doesn’t even sleep in our room right now, too scared the witch might hex him while he’s sleeping and not willing to risk it. He claims the only reason he did it when I was in heat was because of the bodyguards just outside the door and we can’t ask our friends to sit outside our door for the foreseeable future.Dallas still won’t leave me alone. He sleeps on the couch in our room, closer to me than my own mate. He says with Griffon acting up he’s even more inclined to stay here.Cole glances up at me from b
What the hell is wrong with everybody? Why does everybody think I’m going to hurt them? Am I really not allowed to get angry without everyone thinking I going to kill them?Everyone hates my mate, and they just expect me to be okay with that? Expect me to just sit back and let them all talk shit on her?I slow my walk just as the fresh air hits my face from opening the front door. I step outside onto the porch and look towards the sky. Why did she have that necklace?“Hey.” I hear whispered next to me, and I look over to see Aspen sitting on the chair on my porch. “Aspen.” I whisper back and go to sit on the chair next to hers. Though hesitantly, but she doesn’t tell me to fuck off, so I take that as invitation.We sit there in silence for far too long before she finally talks. “I knew you wouldn’t hurt me.” She whispers and I close my eyes and swing my head towards her. “Really? Because apparently hurting people is my thing now.” I tell her, still angry with my dad for even suggestin
Liam and I wait inside the office for Griffon to come in. He’s not going to like what we have to say. It never ends well when someone questions your mate, but we have to warn him that not everything might be on the up and up.Griffon walks in slowly, eyeing us suspiciously. “Am I in trouble?” He asks and I want so badly to say yes. The fact that he Alpha commanded Aspen alone is enough for him to be in trouble, but he’s grown now. There’s not much we can do about it, other than making it right.“You’ll take the Alpha command off Aspen.” Liam says sternly and Griffon’s mouth slackens in return. “Are you kidding me? She was being disrespectful to her future Alpha and Luna!” He says and I look at him like I’ve never seen him before.“Don’t look at me like that! You don’t tolerate disrespect.” He says pointing his finger at me. “No, I earn their respect and keep it. I’ve never felt the need to have Liam Alpha command respect for me. We don’t do that, and you know it.” I tell him and he gl
Why would she have my necklace? Better yet, how does she have my necklace? We lost it after the fight with my dad, never to be seen again, until now.“Guys! You have to get out of there!” Liam whisper yells through the door. We all look between each other.“Do we take it?” Dallas asks quietly and grimace. If we take it, she’ll know someone was in here. If we don’t, who knows what she has planned for it.“We’re taking it.” Hazel says absolutely, leaving no room for argument. I nod and we all rush to leave the room.We all make it into the room, shutting the door as soon as we hear the front door opening and Cole’s booming voice entering the house.He must have stopped to talk to them, trying to distract them.Liam looks at the container, “What is it?” He asks and Hazel looks at him worried, before handing it over.Liam takes it from her hands, and his eyes widen as soon as he opens it, looking over at me. “Are we sure?” He asks, and I shrug. “Could she have gotten a similar one anywher
“He did what?” I whisper as Mia stands in the middle of the room looking between Liam and me. She looks at me with pity and says it again. “He Alpha commanded her.” She repeats and my eyes move to Walker like I need confirmation.I look over at Liam after Walker confirms it, and he looks at me worried before turning to look back at our friends. “She told you this?” They both shake their heads. “Finn and Randy told Cole, and he told us, and though Aspen wouldn’t confirm it, she’s really upset. I know something happened.” Mia explains, and my eyes close.How could he do this? He knows we don’t Alpha command people unless it’s necessary. “We’ll talk to him. And if he won’t fix it, I will.” Liam tells them and they both nod.“Why?” I ask them and Mia looks at me confused, but Walker understands. “He said she needed to respect his future Alpha and Luna.” Walker explains.While that is true, Aspen and Griffon have always pushed the limits when it comes to that. It’s not new for Aspen to tal
My head spins as I take a step away from Lenny. “You know me. I don’t understand where this is coming from.” I tell him, looking at him like he just killed my cat.His face is full of pity, “Just go worry about your mate. Maybe once everything calms down, everything will get better.” He whispers to me, and I shake my head, and look over his shoulder at Aspen.“I know you’re upset about me finding my mate, but you’re really going to turn everyone against me?” I snap at her and her eyes widen, and she pushes Lenny out of in front of her.She steps closer to me, and places one finger on my chest. “You.” Poke. “Are.” Poke. “The one.” Poke. “Doing this.” She drops her hand and glares at me. “Don’t blame me, because you can’t figure out the shit with your mate.” She says sternly.My eyes narrow on her yet again, but nothing comes out. I can’t seem to get my thoughts together enough to speak. I had no idea everyone felt this way. But do they or is Aspen putting shit into their heads. They’ve
I leave my parent’s office, determined to do better by my mate. I’ve been trying to make her feel more comfortable around me, but clearly it isn’t working.All I want is to be with her, but she always seems to want to be somewhere else. Even when she’s with me.I knock on her door, and there’s no answer. I knock again, and again there’s no answer. I finally creek the door open, “Nadia?” I ask the empty room. She’s not here. Surprise, surprise.I close my eyes and bend my head towards the ceiling, letting out a deep breath. Why didn’t she tell me where she was going?I search around the house and nothing, so I decide to look around the pack. The idea of the witch that’s trying to kill my mom getting Nadia, making me walk a little faster.I don’t feel like she’s actually in danger, but my minds making me feel like it’s a possibility.I search everywhere before finally making my way towards the park, where I run into Aspen, Finn, Randy and surprisingly Lenny.I know I’m older than them,
I haven’t felt the fog since I put on this ring, and that feels amazing. Things are finally getting back to the status quo, other than Amy’s obsession with finding the witch. Though it’s not really surprising. I know I would be the same as her if rules were reversed.I want to find the witch too, but at the moment I have other pack business to work on, and we have no leads. I need to train Griffon some more, so he’ll be here soon.I’ll let Amy work on the witch situation for the time being. Which is where she is now, with Walker, Hazel, Dallas and Nick. As long as she’s not alone.I don’t like her putting herself in danger, but I know she won’t listen to me if I tell her to stop, so I’ll just make sure she has people around her. Not that I have to do much, our family has always come through for each other. I’d say I chose a perfect family. One Amy and I can love, trust and always feel safe with.The door to the office opening catches my attention and I look up to see Griffon walking i
It’s been two days since, and we still haven’t found anything, but luckily Liam still hasn’t flipped out. I’m one hundred percent positive that if they were going to hex him again, they would have already.Liam feels they may just be waiting until a certain time, so he’s still taking precautions.It’s early in the morning, Dallas, Nick, Liam and I haven’t been able to get much sleep lately, so we’re up discussing things in the office.“Hopefully, I can sleep with my mate once this is all settled.” Nick says and I look over at him with a small glare. Nick chuckles, “Hey, you think you’re going through this alone, but with Dallas always having to be with you. I don’t get much time alone with him. Why do you think I’m here, rather than sleeping?” He asks, and I swallow.I glance over at Dallas who’s looking over at Nick guiltily. Nick puts his hands up in surrender, “Hey, you know I love Amy. I understand the need and want to protect her. I’m not asking you to stop. I’m just excited to f
