Chapter Four | Day Three

~George's P.O.V~

(Dream: Half-Human)

(George: Wolf)

I glared at the alpha and he sighed. He knew I was upset. At least now alphas always avoid my gaze, which is vastly different to me. Anyone who so much as looked at me got growled at and shut up instantly. Though the day was over, I was just as grumpy as the first day of the event. I followed the alpha, mainly because I had no choice. There is no way he would let me out of his sight.

When we arrived at the front of the hotel, he held the door open for me. "This way?" I grumbled following him, when we got inside, I found the bedroom and locked the door. "Hey! That's our bed!" I responded angrily "You can sleep on the couch!" He must have known I was terribly upset, he didnt bother me for the rest of the night.

I woke up to a loud knock on the door, "Come on, time for day three" I groaned yelling at him "Leave me alone!" I heard a deep sigh then the door fell causing me to look up and grumbled in response before laying my head back down. "Come on George, we have to go," I flicked my tail annoyed. "Don't make me drag you by your scruff"

I groaned, jumping down and pushing past the alpha. He sighed, unlocking the front door. I followed closely behind.

(All Wolves)

I was not exactly sure of where I needed to go. I didnt want to see my parents or his. I would say I wanted to go home but honestly... Where is home now?

When we approached the group, I intuitively knew the alpha before me. He was the large black wolf threatening to claim me before the event even started. Startled, I hid behind the large grey alpha. It was no use, he already saw me.

He glared back at me confused, he tilted his head "George?". I looked at him then back at the lead alpha. I lowered my body as close to the floor as possible. I was petrified.

Why was he here?

"Dream!" I could hear the pride in the leader's voice.

There's no way... This is his father? Great. Just great.

Out of all the damn alphas trying to claim me I had to get stuck with the leader's son. "Dream, my boy! I knew you could do it!" I glared at him, menacingly. Of course his father wanted him to claim me. "Isn't he something!"

The dark grey wolf now known as Dream let out a low growl in warning. "Calm down, there's no need to act like that", for once I was glad that he was being overprotective. His father scared me. My mother followed closely by my father approached the group.
"Ah! You must be George's parents! You must be proud." My father pushed past my mother, getting into a conversation with the leader.

"George? How are you?" After hearing my mother's harsh voice a few days ago, it was a change of pace for her to speak in a motherly tone. "I'm okay.." My voice was hushed and muffled behind the alpha's thick coat of fur.

I know I told her I was okay, but it was a lie, and she could see right through me. "Do you mind?" She looked up at Dream. He gave a nod, stepping back from me. Though I was with my mother, it did not make me feel as safe as I was behind Dream. She nuzzled up against me and I let my wall fall, if only for a moment it was me and my mom, no alphas. It felt nice, calming.

Well, somewhat.

Once the discussion stopped between the two alphas, I retreated to safety back behind Dream. All the adults seemed to be caught up in conversation I didn't care much to listen into. I didn't want to say goodbye, not to who I was or how life was then. I knew I had no choice, who knows how long its going to be before I see my parents again. More than likely, after I have pups.. Just hearing that come out of my mouth made me harshly cringe.

I do not want pups, ever.

I heard a familiar voice causing me to glance up, "Darryl!" I ran past Dream nuzzling my friend. He noticed the alpha, it was the one who 'saved' me, "And you are?... I never got your name?." "Dream. I'm Dream" I sighed. "Darryl. you know... I'm sorry I kept this from you". He smiled sadly, "It's okay, always take care of yourself, George." I nodded to him, "Maybe- after you have pups, we can hang out?," I didn't want to wait to have pups to see him again... I just want my friend. I just wanted home..."Of course, you can!" Dream chimed in to lighten the mood, though it made no difference to my mood. They were gone so fast, everyone I loved, gone. Now it is just me and this arrogant alpha as a mate. I growled every time Dream tried to speak to me, I could tell he was frustrated but he tried not to upset me further. He was understanding.

As soon as we left the event gates, I shifted, uncomfortable of being stuck in a wolf form all three days.

(All Half-Human)

I cared not to look beside me, to see the alphas form, it was hard to ignore when I had to sit down in his car. I crossed my arm, refusing to shift my gaze from the view in front of me. "Will you at least look at me, I know you don't want this, but you have to deal with it. No use in fighting me anymore." I just scoffed. He gave up and drove.

I glared out my window at the world passing by. I just wanted to understand why. Why I was an omega? I didn't ask for this, for any of this. Every plan I had, turned to nothing. I let out a deep sigh laying my head against the window.

"I'm sorry, George.."
