Silver Wolf

Chapter 9

(Lyra's POV)

I woke up to knocking on my door this morning, my dad was yelling that he was leaving for a week. A week with no yelling, no beatings, no dad in the house to make me scared. So, walking down stairs was easy this morning almost light and stress free. That lasted all of five seconds until I saw that there was no food in the house and no money left for food either. Well at least I won't be around him this week, I may get hungry but at least no beatings will happen.

Looking at the clock I saw that it was time to head to school so grabbing my book bag I headed out the door. Five minutes later someone pulled up beside me, that someone being a lanky noodle like blonde omega with a lip piercing, aka Luke.

"Lyra!" Luke yelled as he rolled down the window. "Get in!"

"Somethings got you very hyper this morning." I laughed as I slid into the seat.

"Yeah," He smiled, "I got to talk to my family this morning."

"How did that go?" I asked. I knew about his family back home, and I also knew how much he missed them.

"It was great. Mom told me about the latest Jack and Ben fight, they ended up in a pool fully clothed." He chuckled.

"Why do they always fight?" I asked.

"Mom thinks it's an alpha thing." Luke rolled his eyes as he parked in the school's parking lot. "Says they are trying to test each other's dominance or some shit like that."

"I am so happy I'm not an alpha." I smirked.

"You and me both." Luke said as we walked in. "You seem to be happy this morning as well. What's up?"

"I found out that my dad is going away for the whole week." I smiled. "So, I get some alone time."

"When did he leave?" Luke questioned excitedly.

"This morning."

"Then you have got to stay over this week!" Luke demanded.

"I don't think everyone would like that." I mumbled. I wish I could stay the week but I almost positive that after the last weekend Ashton would want nothing to do with me.

"Of course, they will. Especially Ashton." Luke winked.

"Why are you winking you creep?" I giggled.

"Did you just fucking giggle?" Luke asked. "Oh my gosh that was adorable! And I winked because I know that there is something going on between you and Irwin."

"No there isn't." I blushed. "He doesn't like me."

"Yes he does!" Luke looked at me like I was insane, but I mean come one a guy like that liking a waste of space?

"You're not a waste of space." Luke brought me out of my thoughts.

"Did I say that out loud?" I asked quietly.

"Yes you did. Lyra you are not a waste of space." Luke said seriously. "And I have known Ashton almost my whole life and I have never seen him happier than when he is with you."

"You're exaggerating." I accused.

"No I'm not." Luke looked at me. "I walked in on you and him when you fell asleep the first time. He literally just sat there and watched over you, making sure you were safe and he looked so peaceful just sitting there. He kind of looked like a creeper but he was happy to see you resting and safe. When you walk into the room he lights up and his attention is drawn straight to you."

"I'm just a new person, soon that effect will wear off and he wont care if I show up again or not." I tell him.

"We'll see about that." Luke said skeptically. "But you are staying the week. And you cannot say no!"
