Little Alpha (Book 1)

Chapter 42

"You know... I used to think I had all of the personality."

I was stuffing my things into my bag, intent on going back to our house.  "Shut up."

Xavier chuckled.  "Why not break a bone and get it over with that Donovan guy got what?  2 days..."

I zipped everything up and stormed past him.  "Leave me alone."

He followed me, smirking.  "I mean... you get worked up everytime you're alone... I think you're starting to like him."

My hand paused on the knob as that struck my chest.  "I'll see you at school."  I took a breath of fresh air and quickly walked home, keeping my senses open.  I turned my head when I heard something in the distance.  What was that?

I shook myself and kept going as I was locking the door, I heard it again.  Howling?  I felt someone come into my field and rushed in making sure everything was locked.  I breathed a sigh of relief, I couldn't feel his emotions at this distance or it was easier to block out.

I sat at the piano and heard the wolf again in the distance.  There was a luring aspect to the sound, but I couldn't afford to investigate just yet, not with the way my mind was tumbling over itself.  I sighed.  Now to get to work...

I had 2 and a half notebooks full by the time I was finished and even I was impressed.  I checked my phone and smirked.  "Vi... what the fuck?  I've been trying to reach you for the last hour."

"Hard at work, of course.  What's up?"

"We have a request from a BlueCrest."

My eyebrows shot up.  "Is that so?"

"Yeah... isn't this..."

"Come for a visit best friend... we have business to attend to."

"What about your dad?"

I sighed blissfully.  "No longer in the picture, what are we talking?"

She squealed with joy and I held the phone away from my ear.  "Looks like a teenage get together, but really expensive..."

I looked at my nails.  "Theme?"

"Uh... looks like they want us to plan all of that."

I rolled my eyes.  "When?"

She deflated.  "This Saturday... the fuck?"

I sighed.  "We'll see what we can work out, find out who all can attend that night and we'll go from there."

"Got it.  See you soon."

I chuckled.  "I'm sure."  I hung up already plotting.  I need an outlet he needs a new play thing... let's make this worth my while.

Just as I was close to sleep the call sounded again.  I frowned.  "Okay... now you're interrupting my sleep."

I threw sweats and a t-shirt in a bag, I already knew I wouldn't make it there on human feet.  The sound was making my wolf restless as well so she was excited.  I made it to the woods and started to pull off my clothes as my skin rippled.  I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't hurt, it felt good actually.  "Should switch out more often."  My wolf wholeheartedly agreed.

We heard it again and we ran towards the sound.  We felt when a couple of wolves caught our scent and began to come after us.  "Have I told you I hate the Season?"  My wolf huffed and went faster.  "Wow... we be fast."  I felt her roll her eyes and giggled.

She lost them easily and raced toward where this other wolf was calling.  We came to what looked like an abandoned settlement and paused, it felt familiar.  She sniffed the air.  "He's here..."  We sensed it, but it was as if this wolf was everywhere.
