Chapter 17: Chapter 17
Allison's pov
I entered the house and found that Megan was alone. I asked her about Zach, to say that he still did not come from one of his friends. I went up to my room and looked towards my room. There are many things that I must take with me, my books, my clothes... but I will collect them later so that I can spend some time with them and also I must tell Austin
I changed into comfortable clothes and grabbed one of my books I like to read if there was nothing specific to do I started reading until I got hungry I closed my book and went to the kitchen to find Megan preparing dinner
" may I help you ?" I asked her
"As if you don't know the answer," she told me
"Of course I know I'm just starting to get hungry."
"Have a little Alison, and also, what do you think, are you going to get Zack at his friend Matt's house?" She said to me, nodding to her and walking outside. Matt is his best friend and also the betta of our herd. I came to his house and found him playing with him in the garden I called for him to run and hug me.
"Auntie, I miss you," he said, as I didn't see him this morning
"I also what do you think if you say goodbye to Matt and go home, it's dinner time" I answered him to run again to his friend and bid him farewell before he came back to me I grabbed his hands and we started walking as he talks about how he won his match and what techniques he used and I'm just listening to him
We got home to go inside and found my brother in the kitchen with Megan
"Come on Zack, wash your hands and come eat our food," Megan told him to run upstairs.
“Brother,” I said softly, looking at me
" Yes "
"I have something I want to tell you."
" What is the ?"
"I... I met my friend" I told him as I watched his reaction. He just kept looking at me. I saw his hand on the table forming a fist. Why is he angry?
Is he from the Red Moon Flock?
" Yes "
"Okay, I have to meet him first."
" how ?"
"Do you think I'm just going to let you go there without meeting this guy? I don't know if he's going to protect you if he's going to keep you safe or if he's going to make you happy? You're under my tutelage Alison and you're the last member of my family I'm not just going to hand you over like that" He answered me to look for him
"Do you think I'm just going to let you go there without meeting this guy? I don't know if he's going to protect you if he's going to keep you safe or if he's going to make you happy? You're under my tutelage Alison and you're the last member of my family I'm not just going to hand you over like that" He answered me to look for him
"It's my buddy Austin, not a guy I'm going to date ," I told him
" I dont care "
"He's Andrew's friend," I told him, hoping that would ease his anxiety
"Andrew's friend, then, is he the gamma? or the leader of the warriors?" Megan asked me who looks excited
“If it is the mine, is it Christen?” My brother said that he knew that herd and knew some of the people in it, so he used to go there to renew the agreements of our herd with their herd.
"No, it's not a mine," I replied
"So he's the captain of the warriors, isn't that good Austin that means Allison will be safe," Megan said, smiling and placing her hand on my brother's who seemed hesitant.
“I can protect myself and also no, he is not the leader of the warriors, he is…” The doorbell rang interrupted me to stand up and went to open the door
I stood frozen in place, looking at the one standing in front of me, feeling steps behind me
"Alpha William, hey. I didn't think you'd come to visit me. When you called me, you told me you only wanted to enter our city."
"Sorry for the surprise visit, Alpha Austin," he replied in his soft, raspy voice
"It's okay, you're welcome, go inside." My brother said as he pushed me away from the door to let him in. I closed the door and we advanced where Megan was standing.
"Alpha, let me introduce you, it's Megan Luna my herd," said my brother. William looked at her and nodded his head in peace. William had never been to our herd, and if there was work, Andrew wouldn't bother and come here.
“Welcome Alpha, we were going to have dinner. How about you join us?” I asked him
"Thank you, Luna, but I need to talk to you, Alpha Austin," he said, looking at my brother
"Of course, is it urgent?" Ask him to look at me
"Didn't you tell him?" William asked me
"I was telling him before you came."
"Yes, she was telling me that her companion is from your herd," my brother said to him
"Really? "
"Well, shall we go to my office?" My brother asked him to beckon him
" and what about me ?" I told him, I mean, I am the center of the matter. I should be with them. I saw my brother trying to say something, but William preceded him
“No, you stay here.” William told me to go upstairs. I changed my eyes to Megan, who was putting on a wide smile
" what ?"
"You're Alpha William's mate."
"Yes, but why do you seem happier than me?"
"Because I'm happy for you, at least your brother and I will be less worried about you. Although many people are afraid of him, Austin always expresses that he is a hard-working person, capable and a good alfa for his flock. He always thanks him, and even if I don't know him personally, I've seen him in meetings. board and I thought he was a wonderful character" she told me as I nodded at her I saw Zack looking at us
“I am hungry,” he said
"I'm hungry too," we said to Megan as we looked at her desperately to laugh at us
“So sit down.” We sat down and Zack and I started eating. Megan decided to wait for my brother, and a few minutes later I saw Austin and William coming down the stairs. I lowered my fork and stood up to look at them.
“So Alpha William, are you sure you don’t want to stay with us here tonight?” my brother asked
"Yes, I've booked at the city hotel, thank you. I'm going now." He answered, looking at me before heading towards the door
"I.. I'm going..." I said to them as I pointed behind William and followed him outside I followed him until he stopped in front of his car and turned to meet me
"What's going on? Why did you come?"
"Didn't you decide that you'd be by my side?"
" Yes "
"I understand the character of Alpha Austin very well. You are the last member of his family, so he will not let you return to the herd if he is not comfortable, so I came myself."
"Then what did you two talk about?"
"Nothing really matters about you staying safe. He was worried that I was an alpha. He had a lot of enemies, and that was his only concern that you were in danger of that."
" But ?"
“But I can protect you from my enemies. No one will come near you, but the worst part is who will protect you from me?” He told me
"You won't hurt me" I told him confidently
"No matter if you go inside, you should spend the last day with your family there and not with me here."
"What? Last night?"
"Yes, I'll take you with me tomorrow morning."
“How do you say you go back to the herd first, and I’ll complete my week here?”
"No, I already told your brother and he agreed."
"It's not about my brother, it's about me wanting to spend time with them."
"Okay, I'll give you some time. We'll go tomorrow night." He said as if he had given me a few days, he only gave me a few more hours. I watched him get into his car before he lowered his window and looked at me.
“I just… I want to… make this work ,” he said hesitantly
"You succeed what?"
“Our relationship and your being away from me does not help.” He said his last sentence before he started the car and left
