The Unwanted Bond

Do you think I'm stupid?

Parker's POV:

After the fiasco at dinner last night, Ryan informed me that he was going to have to take a trip to another pack for a few days. The pack he is traveling to is having issues with rogues and have requested his help. He offered for me to go but I declined. I was already feeling uncomfortable around him here, I didn't want to go to another totally unfamiliar territory. He also stayed true to his word and I had a room set up for me just a few doors down from his. I was okay with that, it was at least a start.

When I had woken up this morning he and some of his warriors, including Carla were gone. Derek, Violet and my parents had left last night after dinner so I was basically here with no one I know. Which probably isn't a good thing. I tend to push boundaries and I really want to see how far I can push it with Ryan. Which leads to me hiding in the garage and watching people to learn a time frame to steal a car without being noticed. I had it narrowed to a 3 minute gap where someone patrolling the house is not in view.

I watched one of the guards cross the entrance to the garage. Now. I made my way to a little sports car that I am positive was Ryan's and climbed in. I pulled the sun visor down and smiled to myself when the keys fell into my hand.

"Amateur." I thought to myself.

I quickly started the car and backed out, once facing the right way I gunned it. I smirked, wondering just how long I had before they alerted Ryan I was missing. I assume I have until at least dinner. Giving me roughly 4 hours to get as far as I can.

20 minutes into the drive the car dinged and the gas light came on. I groaned. Who would have a nice car like this and not keep it full. I found a gas station and pulled in, parking at the pump. I climbed out and went into the store. I walked in and kept my head down, pulling my hat lower on my face. I was still in Ryan's territory so I didn't want to chance being recognized. I walked over to the coolers and looked at what options they had for drinks.

I grabbed two bottles of water and a bottle of Mountain Dew. I headed for the snacks and grabbed a few bags of chips and some candy before heading to the register. At least if I'm recognized I can just pass it off as coming here for snacks and drinks. I placed my items onto the counter.

"Anything else, Sir?" The young girl asked.

"Yeah can I get twenty-five on pump 3?"

"Sure. That brings your total to $38.45."

I pulled my card out of my wallet and put it into the card reader.

"Would you like a bag?"

"Please."

The card reader dinged and I pulled my card out.

"Would you like the receipt?"

"No, thank you."

"Alright, here you go. Have a nice day, Sir."

"Thanks, You too."

I grabbed the bag and left the store. I placed the bag in the car before pulling the lever to open the gas cap cover. I unscrewed the gas cap and turned and grabbed the gas nozzle. I placed it into where it was supposed to go and pulled the lever. I glanced around cautiously while pumping, just in case people were actually watching me but didn't see anything. The pump clicked as it stopped. I returned the nozzle to where it goes and turned back to place the gas cap. I jumped and fell backwards.

"Holy fucking shit."

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

I looked up to Ryan from where I currently sat on the ground. "I mean....." I tilted my head back and forth. He raised an eyebrow. "Where the fuck did you come from?"
