The Unwanted Bond

I'm not your little bitch

Parker's POV:

It's been a few days since Ryan called the council and told them about the Hailstorm Pack leaders. Since then he's spent almost every waking moment in his office, dealing with phone calls, calling other packs, and documenting everything. He sent out his Beta to buy me a laptop and enrolled me in high school. Despite my protests, he has ordered me to do at least 4 hours a day of school. The first day he kept checking on me so I had no choice and had to do it, the second day I forced myself to do it because his dad, Chris, was my babysitter. Yesterday he had no one checking on me so I did some but I was bored out of my mind. Today I have hidden the laptop and am trying to avoid the pack house. If Ryan and other people can't find me, I don't have to do school work.

At the moment I was walking a path deep in the woods. It was a path from the house and I've been walking for 20 minutes. I don't want to get lost but I also want to try to hide as much as I can. After walking for roughly 10 more minutes I came across a stream. I decided to follow it and see where it went. I went against the stream and walked alongside the water for a while before coming to a little lake. I decided here was good enough and walked over to a rock on the outside of the water and took a seat.

I sat there for hours with my knees curled up and my head resting on them while watching the water. My arms were wrapped around my knees and I finally felt content. I've been so uncomfortable since leaving Derek's territory that I have felt as though my skin was crawling. I was so grateful that I found this place. It was relaxing and peaceful and quiet. I was so lost in thought that I didn't hear someone approaching me until it was too late. A hand gently touched my arm and I gasped and jerked myself away, almost falling off the rock into the water. The hand grabbed my arm and stopped me from falling.

"Hey, Hey, It's just me."

My head whipped around to Ryan. "What the fuck? Normal people say something to get someone's attention."

"I said your name 6 times! I thought you had your wolf pulled back."

"I didn't hear you. You scared me."

"I'm sorry for scaring you. Are you okay?"

I let him help me down from the rock. "I'm okay."

"You scared me too, you know?"

"How?"

"I went to check on you and talk to you about what's been going on, and I couldn't find you anywhere. I thought you took off again, until I caught your scent and followed it here."

"I was bored and wanted to explore. I probably should have told you but you've been dealing with things and I didn't want to bother you for something small."

"No, you can always come to me, no matter how small something is, even if you are just going to take a shower. If you want to come tell me, you can. You are my number one, now. I also would appreciate you not taking off anywhere alone. Beta Daryl was arrested by the council and told them what they did, Alpha Connor took off before they could get him, no one knows where he is. So until he is captured I don't want you by yourself. I can introduce you to Matt, Carter, and Sophia, they are all friends and hang out with Carla a lot too. Matt is my Head Male Warrior and Carla is the Head Female Warrior, Carter is my Beta and Matt's his mate, Sophia is Carter's sister. They are good people."

"My wolf doesn't like your sister."

"Oh?"

"She tackled me and locked me in a cell, then followed me when I was pissed off at you."

"Yeah, but those were under my orders. Your wolf should be mad at me."

"Oh, please." I scoffed. "He thinks you hung the damn moon. Even when I want to be pissed at you he's fighting me and trying to influence my emotions."
