CHAPTER 16
Missy soon got up and charged at me but I ducked out of the way at the last second and she punchedthe lockers behind me and I kicked her in the back which forced her further into the lockers. She turnedaround with blood pouring out of her face and she was growling and I could see fur starting to sprout onher arms, she was getting ready to shift in the middle of the hallway at school. This bitch was crazierthan I thought.
But then Alpha Jackson came running down the hall with other faculty members and he managed tograb control of her and orders her under Alpha command to calm down and not shift. Being a werewolf,she had to obey. She didn’t have a choice. She had no control over it.
And she started turning back to normal.
“What the fuck is going on here?” Alpha Jackson yelled as he let go of Missy.
“You’re little slut there attacked me.” Missy yelled. And I stood there and crossed my arms and rolledmy eyes.
“Did you attack her?” Alpha Jackson asked.
Only because she called me a slut because she assumed that us two are sleeping together.” I say tohim looking him directly in the eye. Which I haven’t seen anyone else in this pack do yet.
Alright. I am setting the record straight right now. Taylor is staying at the packhouse. In a spare room. Ihave dozens of spare rooms. We have not and will not be sleeping together.” Alpha Jackson yelled foreveryone to hear and they all backed away from the anger that was in his voice. He then turned hisattention to Missy and ordered her to the nurse’s office and then she was to report to his office. And heordered everyone else to leave except for me.
So Parker gave me my books back and everyone took off so it was just Alpha Jackson and I left in thehallway.
You can’t use violence like that against your own pack members.” Alpha Jackson says leaning upagainst the lockers while I was still standing there with my arms crossed.
“Believe me, that shit with Missy has been going on a lot longer thank you’ve been here.” I say.
“Well, it needs to end. I will be talking to her after she sees the nurse and I will make sure that it ends. Iknow that you were just reacting to what she said, but we know that it’s not true.” He says lookingdirectly at me.
“I’m not a slut and I am not going to be accused of being a slut just like my fucking mother.” I snappedout at him which took him by surprise.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” He asked pushing off from the lockers. Nothing. I have to get toclass.” I say starting to walk away, but he grabbed my arm and it zapped me again. Sorry.” He sayspulling his hand away.
“Would you stop doing that?” I asked as I started walking away.
I got to my first class and everyone was staring at me but I sat at the back next to Parker and Emilywas on the other side of me but I ignored her. She did look at me and tried to smile to me but I justshook my head and opened my book.
When class was over I stood up and grabbed my books and Emily stood in front of me with Aria.
“Listen, I’m sorry about this morning. I heard what I heard and I just assumed that it was true.” Emilysays.
You’re my fucking friend. You should have known to come to me first and talk to me before believingsome stupid rumour. I thought we knew each other better than that.” I snapped at her.
“We do. And that’s why I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you were staying at the packhouse. No one wouldhave known that.” She says.
Why are you staying there?” Parker asked and I looked at him trying to figure out how I was going toexplain this to them.
“Because I can’t go home right now. My mother and I had a fight and I am not interested in talking toher right now. She screwed up. Big time.” I explained and they all seemed to understand that that’s all Iwas going to give them.
At lunch time I didn’t want to go to the cafeteria because everyone would be looking at me so I headedto the library and I got a head start on my homework from the morning classes. While I was sitting thereI recognised a scent that was lingering behind me.
“Does your girlfriend know that you’re here Edward?” I asked.
“No. Of course not. She’s not here today. “He says walking around so that he was in front of me. So,what’s this then? Am I your dirty little secret?” I asked.
“No. There’s no dirty little secret. I just wanted to make sure that you were alright. After seeing youyesterday afternoon and then the rumours this morning.” He says. And I looked up from my books andlooked him directly in the eye.
“Do you believe the rumours?” I asked.
“No. I didn’t believe them when I heard them. The packhouse is there for these specific reasons. Whensomeone needs help, there’s a bed waiting for them. So their not sleeping in the woods or on a park
bench. I wasn’t surprised at all when I heard that you slept at the packhouse last night.” He says sittingdown at the table with me.novelbin
“Yeah, well. At least that’s one person.” I say.
“I know that you don’t give a crap about titles. You’re not interested in being Luna. You never havebeen. You look at the person, not the position.” He says.
“Tell that to the rest of the school. Most of these kids have known me my whole life and yet they stillbelieved it. I guess being gone for a year, they thought that I turned into some massive slut bag orsomething like that.” I say getting back to my homework.
Edward stayed there with me and he was talking to me while I was doing my homework and then hestarted acting a little weird. He was getting really uncomfortable in his chair and really fidgety.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“The Alpha is staring at us.” He says trying not to move his lips while he spoke. So I turned around andlooked at the glass windows of the library that showed the hallway outside and he was standing outsidethe library staring at us. So I gave him a wave, but he just walked off without doing anything.
“That was weird.” I say turning back to Edward.
“Good. So, it wasn’t just me who thought that was extremely weird.” Edward says relaxing a little bit.
“No. It wasn’t.” I say.
When I finished school that day I headed back to the packhouse and I went straight to the office andthe Alpha wasn’t there. So I sat on the couch and I opened the laptop and I looked at the first file that Ineeded to start inputting.
When Alpha Jackson did finally show up in his office he walked over to the drinks cart and pouredhimself a bourbon before he sat down and started going through some paperwork. And he didn’t sayanything to me.
“Tough day?” I asked looking at the computer screen.
“I guess you can say that. The life of an Alpha.” He says.
“I can imagine.” I say. And I kept working when the cook came in with dinner and placed it down in frontof both of us. And then he turned around and left.
So I sat on the floor leaning against the couch and eating while I was working and then I grabbed thefile for my mother. I opened it and there was a photo of her there so I pulled the photo up on thecomputer and attached it to the file.
I started reading through the information before I threw the file on the other side of
the coffee table and I grabbed another file while I was still eating. I would deal with mother’s file later. Ilooked up and Alpha Jackson was looking at me but I didn’t say anything to him. I just kept workingwhile Alpha Jackson got up and got another drink before he went back to his desk.
When we finished eating dinner the cook came back and took the plates and I saw that Alpha Jacksonwas getting into the alcohol a lot more than usual. I was pretending not to notice but I knew thatsomething was bothering him.
My phone then went off and I looked at it and someone had sent me some photos. I didn’t know whothe number belonged to but I looked at the photos and they were taken from outside Alpha Jackson’soffice.
He is standing in his office with Missy after our altercation and he is leaning against his desk while sheis standing there talking to him. The next photo showed her getting closer to him and then the nextphoto showed them two kissing.
I couldn’t believe it. And that bitch had the nerve to call me a slut at school today. And yet she is gettingit on with the Alpha. I looked up at him and he was staring blankly at the wall with his glass off bourbonin his hand.
“I’m finished for the night. I’m going to bed.” I say closing the laptop and closing the file that I wascurrently working on.
“You’ve barely done anything tonight.” Alpha Jackson says as I grab my bag and I stood up.
“Maybe you should ask Missy to come over and do it. If you two would even get any work done.” I sayplacing my phone on his desk with the photos showing on the screen and I left his office.
But instead of walking upstairs, I walked out the front door and took off towards the woods. I heardAlpha Jackson calling after me but I ignored him and I blocked off all the links to everyone. Making sureto avoid the patrols and I managed to make it to the old swimming hole. I knew that not many peopleever patrolled around here. This was too far from the packhouse and no one ever attacked out thisway.
‘I can’t believe he would go for someone like Missy.’ Ava says.
‘Well, not every guy has the best taste in women. I know the Alpha’s that rule over this pack never do.’ Isay sitting on the boulder.
‘Why do we always come here when we’re upset? Edward knows where to find us.’ Ava asked pacingin my head.
‘Because he is the only one who knows where to find us. No one else does. And if I tell Edward to getlost then he will.’ I explained staring at the moon in the water below me.
‘What are we going to do? We can’t go home to mom and we can’t go back to the packhouse.’ Avasays.
‘We can go back to the packhouse. But when we’re ready to. I don’t get it. Why the hell am I getting soupset about him and Missy? I don’t understand what is happening to me.’ I say wiping a stray tear off ofmy cheek.
‘Because you like Alpha Jackson.’ Ava says and I scoffed at that.
‘He likes you too. More than friends. I know that he does. His wolf told me.’ Ava says.
‘Oh yeah. What else did his wolf tell you?’ I asked looking around the woods at where I was.
‘That you get away with so much because Alpha Jackson hates punishing you. He wants you close.That’s why he offered you that job and a place to stay when you needed it. He put you in the roomacross from his room. No one usually stays on the Alpha’s floor except for Alpha’s. But you’re there.’She explained.
So, what do we have here?” A voice asked out of the darkness and I jumped to my feet immediately.
“Who’s there?” I asked. And then a man came into view. I knew that he was a werewolf but he smeltoff. He smelt rotten. Oh my god. Rogue.
