The Alpha's Law

15- Party Part 1

"So what's up?" I ask slowing down to a trot. From what I can tell Nick, Lao, Lucas, and Jacob are listening. It's so crazy to be able to feel people in your thoughts, without positively knowing who it is. Some random person could listen to me when I'm thinking about personal stuff. Well s long as I'm not in wolf form they can't hear anything.

"We're doing chores, we have to jog around the boundary line eight times" Nick answers. I wonder how I can tell Lao and Nick's voice apart in my head. In person they sound exactly the same.

"Sounds fun" I joke. Reaching my house again. Ian is no longer in the backyard, probably because it's getting dark. It's almost five o'clock, I should go inside. At least I had a nice workout out here.

"Wait no don't go yet! I have to ask you something "Nick yells, how it's possible to yell in a thought is beyond me. 

"Yeah sure" I think. I start a slow walk towards the house waiting for his reply. I can literally feel Jacob, Lucas, and Lao listening and Nick waiting to say something.

"Does Chloe, uh like me?" Nick whispers embarrassed. I try not to laugh but a wolfy laugh escapes anyway. Hopefully he isn't too close by and can't hear it. It's just hilarious that a 17 year old guy has to ask the sister of his crush if she likes him. It shouldn't be surprising considering how awkward Nick is.

"Honestly, I think she does" I try and contain the laughter in my thought. It's the truth but it's too funny to think about. I can feel Nick's content at my words.

"Nicky and Chloe sittin' in a tree M-A-R-K-I-N-G" Lao taunts to the laughter of Lucas and Nick. It's so hard not to laugh at how he changed it from kissing to marking.

"Don't tell her I asked. Please" He begs starting another round of taunting from Lao. It's cute how innocent he is, it is definitely a change in Chloe's usual taste in guys. Austin was a badass, plain and simple. Nick is more of a hipster nerd, probably never even had detention.

"I won't tell her. I got to go guys" I laugh through the pack link. I shut them out trotting up the wet grass of the backyard. I'm not shifting back outside, the guys could be near by. Lao is definitely a pervert, I wouldn't put it past him to watch me.

I trot into the back door whipping my paws on the mat. Hopefully no one will see me on the way upstairs. Last thing I need is to be grounded for tracking leaves and dirt through the house.

"Yay wolf!" Ian squeals jumping onto my back. I try and shake him off but he just holds my fur tighter. God this kid is getting heavy. I walk faster going up the stairs towards my bedroom. My tail hits against the wall, knocking off a couple of pictures.

Finally a shake him off, releasing a couple of unfriendly sounds in the process. I nudge my door shut, changing back to human quickly. Chloe left the clothes on my bed, of course the shoes laces are tied together and there is a bleach stain on the jacket. I stuff them in the closet, pulling out my coca cola pajama bottoms and a T-shirt that says "bow ties and fezzes are cool". No need to get changed when I'm going to have to change again for the party. 

Ugh, I just feel like taking a long nap. But if I take one now, I will never want to get up. Instead I trudge down the stairs. Ian is waiting at the bottom with wii sports tucked under his arm. Crap, I forgot I promised to play with him today. 

"Okay, you do realize I'm gonna kick your ass, right?" I joke, leading him into the living room. He giggles probably at my use of the word 'ass'. I haven't hung out with Ian in a while this should be fun.

<~*~>

"Dinner time!" Mom yells from the kitchen. Ian actually beat me in wii baseball but I killed him in bowling. I trip him as we walk into the dining room. Everyone is sitting around the table, including Kameron. Mmm spaghetti.

"Did you guys have fun?" Dad asks as we sit down. Ian always puts books on his seat so he can be as tall as the rest of us. It's cute until he falls over, taking the tablecloth and food with him.

"Yeah, I beat her" Ian smiles biting a chunk out of his meatball. Mm this is really tasty. After eating pizza for a thousand weeks straight everything different tastes good. Especially if the pizza always has mush- wtf? Someone just kicked me under the table. I look around seeing an evil smile from Kameron and a worried expression from Chloe, it was most likely her.

"So what do you guys have planned tonight?" Kameron asks suggestively. Oh crap he knows about the party. I should have figured, he has the high school pack members wrapped around his evil finger. 

"Sleeping over a friend's house, how about you" I say giving him the look. He smiles wiggling his eyebrows. I swear if he tells on us, I am going to beat him with his own arm. Mom and Dad look as us like we are complete nuts. 

"I have a date with a nurse from the pack, she's gonna give me a little...examination" Kameron smiles suggestively, giving Dad a high five. Oh god, that's gross. I exchange a disgusted look with Chloe, setting my fork back down on the plate.

"It's almost 7:30. Let's get our stuff" I sigh getting up and shooting Kameron one last dirty look. I stomp up the stairs with Chloe right behind me. If Kameron breathes a word about the party when we're gone, he's dead.

I grab the clothes for the party, stuffing them into a duffel bag. Chloe waits in the doorway looking excited and cheery. This is going to be so fun. Most of the teenagers from the pack are coming. It's at Lucas's house, which is far away from the pack house and any adult who can stop it. 

"Chloe Riley your friend is here!' Mom yells. We bound down the stairs faster than ever, accidentally shaking down even more pictures, and chipping the green paint. Cassie stands by the door in plain clothes to go along with the sleep over lie. We will all probably change in the car.

"Hey" she smiles giving me a hug. Mom gives her the look of approval before leaving to go upstairs. Of course Ian can't be relied on to give people privacy and he comes skipping in. He sniffs the air like Jace taught him to see if someone is a werewolf. 

"You're a wolf too" he smiles wiggling his loose tooth. It is right in the front. When he loses it, it is not going to be cute. 

"Yeah, and you're adorable" Cassie smiles looking down at Ian. Now that I think about it, he is dressed really hipster today. Chloe must have picked out his clothes.

"I know" He smiles running back out of the room. Finally we can leave, the party is supposed to start in fifteen minutes. Which means it really started a half hour ago. By now there are already drunk werewolves passed out on the lawn.

We speed walk down the driveway to her Porsche. How come we are the only werewolves to not drive fancy cars? I mean come on, Mom drives a freaking minivan.

We hop into the car, taking off immediately. Lucas must live right at the edge of the pack border because it takes forever to get there. Finally we pull up outside a giant blue house.

My heart flips just thinking about what's inside. Already teenagers are strewn across the lawn and music blares so loud I can feel it in my bones. Red cups liter the grass and the smell of alcohol is in the air. Couples kiss by the trees on the side of the house and silhouettes of people dance on the curtains. Wow.

This is gonna be one hell of a party.

I really like when you say whether the characters pics on the side meet your expectation. I am so disappointed with myself, this chapter sucks ass. I originally had a great chapter but wattpad deleted it. Oh well I guess, at least it wasn't a really important chapter.
