Chapter 14

Again it's the same as every morning, woke by my mom to go to school.

It's just this time, I don't really care. I wake up with a smile on my face, ready to tackle anything this day has to throw at me.

I get out of bed, quickly grab some clothes and make my way to the bathroom.

I take a quick shower, hop out and dry off before slipping on the clothes for today.

I then leave the bathroom and skip down the steps and into the kitchen.

Yes, I skipped.

But who cares, I'm in a good mood and nothing's going to ruin it just yet.

I sit in a chair and see my mom walk up and place some food in front of me. I thank her and start eating.

Then in the middle of my meal, dad came down the steps with John following closely behind.

They were deep in discussion. " I just don't see how that could happen," says John.

" I don't either, but somehow someone got to them before we could," says my dad.

" How many bodies were there again?" says John.

" Five bodies, all rogues. It looked like they had put up a pretty good fight against whoever killed them, but they didn't seem to last long," says my dad.

" What are you two talking about?" Asks my mom, setting some food in

Front of them.

They nodded at her in thanks and started eating. " A wolf was making rounds this morning and came across five bloody, dead bodies. Rogues," says my dad.

" The ones that were just spotted running into our territory yesterday?" I ask.

" The very same," says my dad.

I nod. " What does this mean then?" I ask.

" It means our rogues problem is gone. Someone took care of the situation for us, and we have no idea who, but I can say one thing. We're very grateful for their help," says my dad. John nodded in agreement.

Yay!! They're happy about what he did!! I can't wait to tell Connor tonight!!

" Do I still have to have a bodyguard?" I ask. I'm really hoping he says I don't have to have one.

" No, not anymore, but for extra safety, I want you and Tasha to keep an eye out for anything funny. The Alpha has also ordered more wolves to patrol the borders to make sure nothing gets in or out," says my dad.

I nod. Then upon hearing her name in the conversation, the door opens after a knock to reveal Tasha.

" Ready Amber?" She asks.

I nod. " Thanks again for breakfast, mom. I'll see you guys later," I say.

" Stay safe, Amber," they all three say in unison.

I laugh. " I will."

I then leave with Tasha. The second the door closes, Tasha's arms wrapped around me in a tight hug. " I miss you bestie," she says.

I laughed again and managed to pry him off of me. " You didn't see me for only one day, but I missed you to bestie. Now come on, we don't want to be late," I say.

She nods, and we take off running to school, laughing and talking as we ran, but also keeping a careful eye out for anything funny.

Thankfully, nothing went wrong.

When we got there, I gasped, realizing I had left my backpack at home. " My backpack. Tasha, I forgot it!!" I yell.

Tasha laughs and holds it up. " Nope. I knew you would leave it, so I grabbed it for you," says Tasha.

I laugh in relief." Thank you, Tasha, you're a lifesaver," I say, taking my backpack.

She just grins and we head into school.

Soon, once school was over, Tasha and I started making our way to my house.

" Hey, Amber, Tasha!! Wait up!!" Called Kurt, running up behind us.

" Yes Kurt," I say, slowing up a little from the fast pace we had.

" You guys want to come to the pack house? Dads went with the bête and the third was in the meeting room. Just three were there, so me, John and a couple of friends were going to watch a movie in the living room. Would you guys care to join us?" he asks.

I look at Tasha. She smiles and nods. "OK, count us in," I say. After I said that, I could swear, I heard a faint growl.

I'm guessing the others heard it as well. I look at the woods and spot Connor looking at me carefully from behind a tree. He was very well hidden, but he shouldn't have been this close to the pack house.

I smiled because I know with Kurt asking me to come to the pack house that it made him a bit jealous and, to me, that's kinda cute.

Then my eyes go wide at the same time as Connors does. I then realized that if I heard him growl, then Kurt and Tasha would.

Crap!! They heard him!! Crap crap

Crap!!!

I need to distract the others away from the woods.

" Well come on guys. What are we waiting for? Let's go," I said, steering them in the direction of the park house.

" I could have sworn I heard a faint growl from behind you," says Kurt.

" Nah, that's just my stomach. I'm hungry," I claim. Hey, the truth can be used as a distraction to keep them away from my mate.

They seemed to believe me because they didn't say another word about it on the way towards the pack house.

I take the smallest look behind me to see he's gone. I sigh in relief. He's now out of danger of being discovered and caught.

Soon enough, we made it to the packed house and walked in. Kurt and Tasha headed towards the kitchen to get some popcorn while I went towards the living room.

I told them I would meet them there. Truth is thought. I want to look out the windows to make sure Connors isn't in sight of being spotted from the pack house.

I look out the window for a couple of minutes till I come to the conclusion that he's not. I then go and sit down.

I then look as Tasha walks in with a huge bowl of pop corn and sits next to me. John and a few guys and girls from school were already here.

Kurt comes and puts on the movie, and we sit down to eat and watch.

He had out on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

It's such a great movie. My personal favorite out of all of them.

Tasha had me read the books and I can say truthfully, that I loved every minute of reading them.

Soon, once the movie was done, Tasha told me she'd stay there and Kurt said that he'd walk her home when she was ready to go.

John and I had to hurry home to make dinner. Apparently John wants to help me again. He found out yesterday when he helped me that he loves cooking.

I smile at that. My wolf is happy as well. I finally get to spend some time with my brother doing something that is fun. Plus, he's not so protective when we're cooking.

We said bye and started walking home. Half way there, John looks at me.

" Race you the rest of the way?" Says John with a grin.

I let out a laugh. " Your on." I say.

With that, the race was on, and we took off, laughing and smiling all the way.
