"Take off those heels, lay on my bed
Whisper dirty secrets while I'm pulling on your hair
Poison in our veins, but we don't even care
Candles dripping on your body, baby this ain't truth or dare
Everybody wonders where we've run off to
My body on your body, baby sticking like some glue
Naughty, let's get naughty, girl it's only one or two
The fevers fudging running, feel the heat between us two!
I'm-"
"Chloe did you just say what I think you said?" My mom interrupts my singing from downstairs.
"Uh, no mom, I said 'fudging'. I thought you were coming home from work in about another hour or so?" I yelled back.
"Yeah, the Alpha said he wanted to talk to me about something important, so I was excused from work. Which reminds me, did you get the job, honey?" she asked.
A smile made its way across my face. I applied to be able to work at a little cafe down the street, so I would have money to spend at the mall and at the movies with my two best friends, Sarah and John.
The girl that worked there, who appeared to be about two years older than me, told me she would give my application to the manager. I recall her name tag reading 'Sam'. I could see myself getting along with her because she was really kind and polite, not to mention funny and easy going.
About three hours ago, the manager, Claire, called and told me I got the job and I would start tomorrow. I got up from my bed where I was listening to music and ran downstairs because I got tired of yelling.
"Yeah, I start tomorrow at nine and my shift ends at two," I answered her with a grin on my face. It's not that we we're broke and couldn't afford things, but because I preferred to spend money that I worked for rather than extending my hand and asking my mother for money that she worked hard for.
"That's great news, Chloe." She smile. "Well, I must get going, I don't want to keep the Alpha waiting for much longer." She waved. I rolled my eyes at her last statement.
Alpha Henry was the most disgusting and perverted man I had ever met in this pack. He had yellow teeth, a beer belly, was almost completely bald, and worst of all, he had no shame in checking girls out that were two or three times younger than him. If that doesn't make him disgusting, I don't know what does. He's forty-eight and still hasn't found his mate, so he's searching for a young female to marry him and carry his pups so he would have someone to pass the title of Alpha to. I seriously pray for that unfortunate female. What disturbs me the most, is that some females my age actually want to marry him so they could have the title as Luna.
I watched my mom pull out the driveway and turn the street before her car was no longer in view. I might as well text Sarah. Sarah was someone I could count on. Her blue eyes what were caught my attention when we both met. She was getting gum off her blonde hair and I pitched in.
Me: Hey Sarah, I'm home alone and bored to death
Sarah: Hey Babe! haha... where's your mother?
Me: Alpha Paedophile wanted to speak with her about something
Sarah: Gross ugh just thinking about him makes me want to puke *shudders*... I suggest you don't leave your SINGLE mom with him alone for too long
Me: OMG SARAH YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A POINT... WHAT KIND OF DAUGHTER AM I?!
Sara: I know ri- wait, what do you mean actually o.O
Me: nothing I love you
Sarah: *narrows eyes* you better... xD love you! got to go, Josh is calling me, bye bitch
Me: Noooo don't leave me you traitor!... Jack, Jack, come back!
Josh and Sarah are mates. Before Sarah joined us, it was only Josh and I but, in fifth grade we started hanging out with Sarah and she's practically my sister now. Josh is a year older than both Sarah and I. I'm not going to lie, Josh is fairly attractive like almost every other male werewolf. They discovered they were mates at the age of sixteen, but by then, they were practically already together. In all honesty, I'm very happy for them.
I'm waiting to find my mate, although I'm really sure he isn't going to be from this pack because everyone here knows each other pretty well.
I decided to go for a run in the woods behind my house because my wolf, Jewel, was itching to get out. Hiding behind a tree, I made sure no one was looking and then I slipped my clothes off. I heard the familiar snap of bones breaking before I shifted. My coat was mahogany and I made sure to keep my coat clean and silky. My eyes stayed the same green as my human form.
The cool breeze felt soothing against my skin and I decided to let my wolf take over. We ran and ran until my legs started to ache and then we decided to head back home. I hid behind the same tree and slipped my clothes back on after shifting. The sun had already set, so I quickly made my way back inside.
"Chloe, is that you?" My mother called from around the left corner of the hallway.
"Yes, Mom. I went for a run and lost track of time, but I'll be in my room." I was about to turn to the right where the stairs that headed towards my bedroom were, but my mom's voice stopped me.
"Wait, sweetie, there's someone here who wants to talk to you." She sounded nervous and I instantly started getting nervous. When I turned the corner and saw who was sitting next to her, I almost puked.
"Alpha Henry. What a pleasant surprise," I said with a fake smile through gritted teeth. He smiled an ear to ear smile and I almost made a run for it. I threw a quick glance towards my mom who was sitting quietly with her head down playing with her fingers; a gesture she only makes when she's nervous or uncomfortable with something.
"Ahhh, Chloe. What a beautiful young women you've grown into," he said while licking his chapped lips and stared at me in an uneasy way. I shifted my feet uncomfortably due to his intense gaze.
"Uhh... Thanks?" I replied, although it sounded more of a question.
"Honey, the Alpha and I talked and- he- we- uh..." My mom finally spoke up while fumbling with her words. She hadn't done that in a long time. Now I was really getting worried.
"What your mother is trying to tell you is that- I'm sure you're aware that I haven't found my mate- I need a bride because I want to start mating soon- so I was talking to your mother and..." he looked at me as if waiting for me to fill the blanks in and it finally clicked.
"No! You can't marry my mom! My father was your Beta! You can't do that to him-"
"Honey-"
"Mom, don't you dare defend him he's-"
"Sweetie if you just-"
"Can he even do-"
"Chloe ple-"
"What kind of-"
"I don't want to marry your mother, I want to marry you!" Alpha Henry yelled, causing me to snap my head towards him.
"What?" I asked in disbelief, my voice just above a whisper. He started walking towards me, I would have taken a step back if it weren't for the fact that I was frozen in shock. When he was in front of me, he dropped a knee to the ground and pulled out a little white box. My eyes widened in horror when he opened the box revealing a ring with a small diamond.
"Chloe Water," he got my name wrong. "Will you do me the favor of being my wife, even though we have a few years between us?" I almost scoffed at 'a few years between us'. He could easily be my Grandpa for God's sake!
"No," I choked out once I found my voice. His smile faded and turned into a scowl, but nevertheless he pulled my left hand towards him and slipped the ring on my ring finger.
"It actually wasn't an option, sweetie," he said in a mocking tone as he stood up. I felt the lump in my throat forming and goosebumps invading my skin.
"The wedding is in two days, dear. I can't wait to make you mine," he whispered directly in my ear before he kissed my temple, which I shuddered at, but I guess he took it as a shudder of pleasure and not disgust because he chuckled as he walked out the door.
I turned to look at my mom, through blurry eyes, who had a very sad look on her face. She walked towards me and wrapped me in a hug.
"Pack your bags," she said with a determined tone in her voice. She pulled back with both hands on either side of my shoulders while looking at me dead in the eyes.
"What? You're not sending me to live with him are you?" I asked in a harsh whisper. My mom's eyes widened.
"What? God no, honey! I've thought about it while driving back here and I decided that you can no longer stay here."
"I don't understand."
"I have family living in a city a few packs over and you're going to stay over there while I figure out something that can clear this whole thing out," she responded while holding my gaze.
"No, what about you? I'm not leaving you Mom, I can't I just-"
My mom pulled me into a tight embrace, "Shhh, Chloe. It's going to be alright, I promise. If something were to happen to you, I would never forgive myself."
"Okay, if you're sure about it then I'll go pack," I said as I reluctantly pulled from her warm embrace and made my way upstairs.
"Chloe pack only two suitcases. I don't want you to be held back if you carry more," she instructed.
"Yeah, okay." I smiled weakly at her.
Two hours later I was packed not only with clothes, but with food that wouldn't spoil and would hopefully last for a week. I knew that I just couldn't leave without saying something to my two best friends, so I took out a pen and paper and started writing.
Dear Josh and Sarah,
Don't think I forgot about you two. I'll be back very soon, I promise. Meanwhile, take good care of my mom please.
Sarah, I expect you to not forgot to take your medication because I'd slap you when I get back. I don't want you to cry over me because I know you're a tough girl and I don't want to know you're upset over me. If I could, I'd happily relive all those memories I have of us and I wouldn't change a darn thing! I want you to remember all those times we got in trouble with a smile on your face. Like the time we ''borrowed'' Tiffany's puppy because you were convinced that she was your dog's "Juliet" and you wanted them to have a "play date". Except you didn't check to see that they had frickin' cameras, so in order for her not to call that cops, we had to be her "slaves" for a whole week haha... So wipe that stray tear and man up.
Josh, take special care of Sarah and give your mother a hug and a kiss from me. Don't be upset, just know that I will absolutely think of you guys all the time and when I can, I'll call you guys. The brother I never had, I remember that's what you called yourself the first time you beat a kid for slapping my you-know-what just at the age of 10 and we became friends ever since. Or that time when I slapped that girl who was rubbing herself on you because I wanted you to wait for your mate, bet you're thanking me now huh? Remember the times I would call you over when I was scared or upset and you'd come over and hug me while singing softly in my ear and I would calm down? I want you to do the same to Sarah because I know it'll be harder for her.
Guys, don't think of this as a goodbye, but instead as an I'll see you later, okay? I love you guys so much and I'll call as soon as I get to where I have to go.
Love,
Chloe
I didn't realize I was crying until a tear drop landed on the piece of paper. I headed downstairs with my suitcases in tow after I glanced at the clock that read 9:37 p.m.
"You ready, honey?" I nodded my head in response and she pulled me in another one of her hugs that I would surely miss. I handed her the letter and told her to give it to Josh and Sarah and explain the situation. She replied with an 'okay' as she kissed my forehead and then told me what routes to take and to be extra careful when I arrived at the third's pack territory because it was the pack of a really territorial Alpha.
We bid our painful goodbyes and then I headed out the back door so I wouldn't raise suspicions with our nosy neighbours.
Before I entered the forest, I turned to have one last, good, look at my childhood home and waved one last time at my mom, who waved back with a broken heart that mirrored mine.
