chapter Five

                                                  Lyrica

My phone vibrated for the tenth time since I came out here. Glancing down at the screen it showed I had yet again another text message. I didn't bother reading it Just placed my phone face down as I looked out across the pond, This is one of my favorite spots to come and clear my head and to breath. Ever since the meeting you can feel the tension drifting through the pack, As most are worried some are afraid, I cant blame them rogues have plagued our boarders every night. 

My worry for my father grew I know mom is just as worried but she handles it better something she has learned to live with all these years. 

I was waiting to hear back about me returning to collage, Dad said he reached out to the Alpha but has heard anything back yet, I'm to return in three days. I cant believe how fast the days have gone. I'm hoping he lets me it will hurt my credits and my over all grades if I can not and I will get knocked out of the rotation and loose have my grade for me to pass the course and I need to pass it.  

So far everyone has followed the rules the Alpha put in place, Dad said everyone is safety in their houses no later then eight each night, no one has gotten hurt with these rogues attacks other then the patrols groups and some of the warriors. But the once easy feeling and safety you would feel as you walked through the pack was replaced with tension and fear. 

"Hey Lyrica." Someone called out to me making me look over my shoulder. Seeing a group of girls I knew as we grew up together just was never super close but I guess you could say we were friend's.  

I gave them a wave. They came towards me. "We didn't think you were still here," The one Elena said as she sat down next to me,

I nodded, "Have to wait for the Alpha to clear me to return, I haven't heard anything yet." I tell her as the other sit down. 

"I guess with all this rogue business going on he is being extra cautions." One of the other ones spoke. 

We all nodded. 

"I get it, I just hope he lets me I do not want to loose my grades or credits, and have to make them up."

I feel my phone again but do not look at it. 

"I can understand that, I would hate to have to start over, but he probably let you seeing as you do not come back each day. right?"

I shrugged, "My dad seems to think the same. I mean it would be another month or so before I got time to come back for a visit, I only came this week cause all my room mates are gone with the short break."

Just like with my parents I cant tell them the really reason why I came this week. 

"So.. how is it living the collage life huh?" one of the others asks, "You get a chance to have a first row seat to all that partying they talk about." 

That made me chuckle, as the other laughed, "Its not a glamour's as it sounds, yeah there is some party's but I stay clear of them. My classes are grueling and I need to be on my toes, cant afford to screw them up. but I can say the parties are almost every weekend and some times during the week."

"That sucks, isn't collage like supposed to be the wild time in your life?" Elena asked. 

I laughed shaking my head. "Sure if you have nothing to worry about for passing, I know some have a easy pass cause of who they are and those are the ones who party hardy all the time, I cant afford to misstep and have to start over again. besides, not sure drinking till I puke sounds like fun for me."

"Ok, ok, enough about the parties, I want to know about those collage guys," She wiggled her brows, I couldn't help but laugh a full on real laugh, 

I shook my head, "Why are you asking about human boys when you all have these Greek gods running around here." I waved my hand around in front of us.

"Oh come on Lyrica. Looking at these guys here is turning boring, I mean we would like a variety please, and besides I heard some are just a good looking." 

"Oh my god you did not just say variety did you?" 

She slapped my upper arm, "shut it. now come on fill us in on the collage guys, oh hey do you have a swim team, I would love to see some of them in one of those tight Speedo." 

"Oh me too. bet they look yummy." 

"OOO and all that water running down their chest and bodies," All three of them let out this dreamy sigh.

"You guys are nuts, you have all these hot males running around here, and you are day dreaming about a human guy in underwear? I mean come on, the males here can shift into wolves and pretty much pull a car door off the hinges with out opening it and you want some human boy who cant open a jar?" 

"Yeah but those males are annoying and so full of themselves, they think the are the goddess gift to females and its all this primal, what I say goes. crap, I for one would love the chance to boss around some male and make him bend to my will and do my biddings. instead of the your are mine and no one cant touch you line,"

I just stared at her blinking, 

"I have to agree, I would love me some fifty shades of grey, please."

I shake my head, "You guys are nuts, but I can say some of the human guys are nice and helpful, not all have are a raging hormone."

At those words they all broke out into a laugh, And for the first time in months I felt a small bit of weight lift off my chest as I sit here talking with them. I keep to myself so much at school knowing I cant risk it, and here I can just be me.

"Hey do you think the human guys are hung as well as our guys are." 

"I heard they can be very blessed." one of them said, 

"How would you know? You ever see one?" 

Her face turned red. "Stacey!" Elena says as she slaps her shoulder, 

"What? I was curious so I watched looked up somethings." 

With another fit of laughter, 

"Its always the quiet ones," 

My phone broke me out of my laughing as it was ringing this time, I didn't look at the screen as I picked it swiping at the screen. 

"Hello."

"So you thought hiding in that so called pack could keep you from me huh my little birdie," HIs deep rough voice carried through the line all traces of laughter or happy I was feeling left me so fast I pulled in a deep breath, I couldn't form words, Just held the phone to my ear all the surrounding noise fade away as a rushing sound filled my ears, 

"Look at you sitting there laughing it up with those cheap she wolves, so unaware of what's lurking in the bushes,"

My heart picked up as my head began to swivel looking at the area around us but saw nothing.   

"I see I have  our attention now don't I. Do not worry, When I come for you it will be when you are least expecting it, it will be a surprise and no one will know who it was, and no one will stop me, I told you, you are mine, I tired of waiting my sweet Lyrica." 

And with that the line went dead and so did my heart.
