Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Cora and Gia were making jokes as we continue to walk to a bus stop to go home. I keep thinking back at my green eye mate. How he says he can't be with me, and yet he can't even reject me.

My shoulders slumped back and probably look like some zombie in the view of others. A horn made me jump a little. I look back and find Evan waving at us.

"Get in guys, I'll drop you off home." he offers.

"But aren't you going to be late for your borders duty," Gia squints her eyebrow.

"Just get in the car, duties can wait," we all squeal in happiness.

"Aww, this is why I wish I have a sibling," I whined at Alera.

I was about to jump in the back seat, unfortunately, Cora and Gia beat me to it. Right, when I get in the front seat, Jay's Ford passes by. Their windows roll down, and Matteo's eyes interlock with mine.

He looks with disapproval.

"Pshh," I glare at him then roll my eyes and get in the car.

"Well, since we are not anything, you can't give me that look, so swish mate," I thought to myself.

Evan drops Cora and me at home. No drama or anything suspicious about me and him. He practically has a Mate out there.

We say thanks and wave goodbye to them. Alera keeps purring inside my head which annoys me so much right now.

I turn to go inside when I saw him standing behind a tree in the woods. "Swish swish-"

"No, I want mate." Alera cry.

"Are you okay?" Cora who was already in the house asks me with concerns.

Since my parents haven't arrived yet, I decided to go to him, for my wolf of course, not me.

"Keep lying to yourself." Alera keeps singing in my head, but I just ignore her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just needed to go for a run." I threw my bag inside. "Lock the house," I call her and run in his direction.

When I got there, I didn't even say anything. I just shifted into my wolf and run ahead, and even though I'm in my wolf form, I still have some control over the both of us, me and Alera.

He followed me until we were deep in the forest with no one to hear or disturb us. Seeing me halt in my steps, he went and shifted behind a tree before throwing me an oversized shirt.

He turns around, and I changed back to my human form and quickly threw the shirt over my head. It perfectly fits and is just 2 inches above my knees.

I cover my breast, "talk, why you are here?" I ask.

He growls at me, which echoes through the wood.

"What? I just want to know why you're here and how you know my place."

I thought he was going to slam me into a tree, choke me, or something like what I've seen in werewolf movies, instead, he growls then uproot a tree log on the ground and threw it on the other side.

"Don’t test mem, and if you haven't forgotten. I'm the future Alpha, so I know every family member and their place except you. I only knew Lyndon and Mia has a daughter but never seen your face until the mall," he paces around.

This info was never told when we were on our school grounds, but it's good to hear that the Alpha's son is not sleeping, but has done his homework well.

My inner self relaxes a little, but the sight of him increases the pace of my poor heart.

"Why did you get in his car?" He snarls at me.

"Excuse me, but I get in anyone's car when I want to. As long as it's not yours or you’re creepy of a Beta to befriend."

"I'm this close to losing my patience with you," he glares in my way

"Oh, breadth you already did. You're just being afraid that I will tell your father all about it, not forgetting the pack that his son is abusive to his mate." I loosen my hand from my chest and threw my hands in the air.

"Oh, so we're siblings now?" He bares his fangs at me.

"What? what do you want us to be then, I mean what are we? You're not my friend, your lover, or your mistress, and if you think I call you my brother, no, I just say breadth.

Oh, and not forgetting your mate because honey, I think that flight with your mate already explode," both of my hands were on my hips now, with a fuming expression on my face.

He didn't move or shout back at me. He just stands there with no emotion at all.

I sigh in defeat, "look, I don't know what you want from me, or why you're doing this? Just please, I think it's best if we don't at all. I don't need your reason too, so if you prefer your girlfriend over me then just let me go in peace."

Yes, indeed, I don't need to hear his reason because deep inside me, there's that feeling of fear to hear it even though some part of me already did.

I started to walk away, leaving him behind there when I felt a pain pierce through my chest. I look back at him while I fell on the ground and saw that he's also in pain.

"What's going on?" I ask Alera, but she just keeps on howling then came the howling of wolves, not just one but many from afar.

When it subsides, I hear him murmur, "father," he took a breath then says again, "rogues."

I look around with alarm, but there's no one or even their scent. Suddenly the thought of my parents hit me. I began to panic because I haven't seen them since last night.

I turn to run back home, yet a wolf jump in front of me, blocking my way. He looks me in the eyes, and I knew it wasn't him, it was his wolf.

He calls for me to get on his back which I did, and he carried me on his back at home.

A familiar feeling hits me again. The one which increases the pace of my heart and instead of fear I feel safe.

He didn't bring me home but took me straight to the packhouse.

"My parents," I said in a panic.

"They are at the packhouse," his wolf links to Alera who relays the message back to me.

When we got there, I run, "Mom, Dad," I call out in the mind link, but none of the answers.

I sniff the air and smelt blood, "oh, Alera, this is not good, so be alert," I told her while taking small steps towards the door without a sound. Matteo pushes forward and leads the way.

There's blood drips on the ground. I twist the knop since he is still in his wolf form and find it open.

'Strange,' I took step by step, following him. One more step in the living room and a howl made me jump and ready to shift.

What caught my eyes is a shirtless male wolf in the living room, standing there in a protective stance.

Matteo growls back at the male, ready to attack but withheld his attack when an elegant woman along with my mom walks downstairs, telling him to stand down.

I run into my mom's arms, holding her tight. I pull a little bit back with tears almost burst from my eyes. It never did because my eyes settled on the other two shirtless male wolves carrying a strong aura with them.

"Damn," now it's my turn to fan myself, 'stop,' Alera shouted in my head.

'Oh, moon goddess today is just getting better whew forbid me or not, those abs, damn,' I tease her.

"Shut up," hiss Alera which makes me laugh back at her.

"But damn, what are we? Don't even care anymore Matteo,' I thought to myself while my eyes fixed on the two males.
