Born to Kill

Three (Part 2)

Alex

Her hair ish longer, and blonder than I remember it being. Well, I guess. It had been maybe 2 or 3 years, she's got to have changed. I did.

"What's been going on with you?" She asks me as she sips her smoothie, or milkshake, I can't remember.

I think about it. But, there's something nagging me. And I'm one hundred percent sure it's the idea of Collins. Why am I thinking about her? Here I am, with the girl I've loved from elementary till sophomore year when she left for boarding school. And all I'm thinking about is this girl I barely know!

"You okay?" Alice asks with a smile. I nod. She knows I'm lying. "Why'd you want to talk?"

I don't think I thought this through. This seemed like a good idea at the time but now it's just a bad idea all around. Crap. What am I dong?

What are you doing?

Shut. Up. I don't need this right now.

Hells yes you do. Don't ask her.

I am.

Don't.

Yes.

Don't.

Yes.

Alexa-

"Will you be my second mate?" I ask her. She chokes on her smoothie.

"Second mate?" She asks after a minute from choking.

Second mate was something alphas get. It's when the don't find their first mate, they have two years and after they have to pick another wolf who has lost or doesn't have their mate. And, well Alice was the first girl I ever loved. For a long time I wanted her to be my real mate.

"Alice, please. I just, I really like this girl. This new girl I've met." I tell her. She shrugs.

"So what's the deal? Maybe she's your mate." She says.

"I want her to be Alice. But, she's the daughter of the Alpha Killer."

She chokes on some more smoothie. "The killer of alphas Alpha Killer?" She asked. I narrow my eyes.

"Is there another Alpha Killer I'm not aware of?" I ask.

She scoffs with a laugh. "I sure hope not." She laughs and sips her smoothie.

"What do I do, Al?" I ask her in a serious tone. She thinks it over. "I mean, I've never actually seen her dad which really scares me. I mean, maybe he's secretly stalking me. Maybe he's planning to kill me." I panic.

She looks at me. "Hire a hunter."

I look at her like she's crazy. "You want me to hire a hunter to find the killer of alphas?"

"Yeah." She nods.

I shrug. "I guess I have nothing to lose."

|_|-|_|-|_|

"Alice?" Karter asks. I nod.

"Yeah, she said we should hire a hunter to find the Alpha Killer."

He ponders it. "You talked to Alice." He says. Okay so he wasn't pondering it.

I sigh. "Yes." I answer the question for the 14th time.

"Alice?"

"Karter! What do you not get by Alice!" I throw my arms in the air.

"Look," he sighs. I put my arms down. "Last time she was here you got hurt. She's bad, Alex."

He was right. Alice had done something that hurt everyone. Or at least a lot of people. Mostly me. We grew up together. What she had done mostly hurt me.
