Fated Mates (boy x boy)

Part 3

I couldn't believe that I was grounded for talking back to Josh and Mary. All I did was stand up for myself. Shouldn't my parents be on my side? My parents were disgusted by the fact that they thought that I couldn't shift, but to ground me for standing up for myself to bullies was absolutely ridiculous. This made it clear that I needed to get out of here and to do it quickly.

I opened my messenger program to see if Connor was still online and thankfully he was.

"Con, I think I'm gonna leave early. I can't take it anymore."

"Jay, don't be rash. You still have your finals to take otherwise you'll have to repeat the year."

"My wolf is going nuts. Yeah, the run helped, but it's gotten to where that's not enough anymore."

"I understand, but don't make any hasty decisions. I don't want you to do something that can't be reversed"

"I promise, I won't do anything stupid."

"Alright, well I'm gonna head to bed. Night Jay."

"Night Con."

I listened to make sure that my parents were still asleep and could hear my dad downstairs. You would think that being a wolf he would walk lighter on his feet, but it sounded like he was stomping around down there.

I quickly packed my bag with clothes and money so that it would be ready to go in the morning. I laid down, set my alarm, to get at four in the morning to get out of the house without being caught, before closing my eyes.

***

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

I grabbed my phone and quickly shut the alarm off before it woke up my parents.  Dad was snoring, but didn't hear mom. I figured she must still be asleep.

I opened the side door of the garage to make sure that there was nothing blocking me from getting my car out, but I found that my Dad had parked exactly in the middle of the driveway and as close to the garage door as he could which effectively blocked my car in the garage.

"GOD DAMMIT!"

I decided that I would run to get out of the territory and then call Connor to come and get me. I strapped my bag over my shoulders and took off towards the western border of our territory heading towards Texas. Boy, was I glad that I put my sneakers on this morning.

***

Twenty minutes into the run there was a howl followed by several others. I remember thinking to myself, "Shit, they know I've left."

I picked up speed although there was no way I could get to the border before they found me. I would be faster in wolf form, but I didn't want them to even catch a glimpse of me that way because they would stop at nothing to keep me in the territory. I had to get out of the territory, otherwise they will make my life even worse and I may not have the opportunity to do it later because they would watch me like a hawk.

I was tackled to the ground by a huge, caramel colored wolf and a grey wolf. They quickly changed into their human forms and I saw that it was Josh and Justin who had caught me.

"What the FUCK were you thinking? Or don't you think, loser?" snarled Josh as he punched.

"It wasn't thinking," declared Justin with a smug look on his face.

"I'm a person, not an it, ya asshole," I shoved Justin away, this earned me another punch from Josh.

"Have you not learned you need to respect your leaders? You're nothing but a pathetic loser who should have never been born." Josh shoved me into Justin, who grabbed a hold of me while Josh continue to pummel me.   I struggled to get free from his grasp.

I realized that this was to subdue me until the adults could get there. My Dad, along with Alpha Leonard and his Beta Jason (Justin's dad). Dad climbed out of the truck and belted me across the face. My head snapped to the side and my nose broke. My jaw dislocated from the impact. Meanwhile, the Alpha and Beta watched the beating that I was getting from my father before I was thrown into the bed of the truck.

***

By the time we arrived at the house my left eye was swollen shut since Josh and Justin continued to pound on me while we were in the bed of the truck. All of this was because I tried to run away from the pack. No other pack would do this to a pack member. This confirmed that I had to leave as soon as possible.

Josh and Justin pulled me out of the truck and threw me on the ground like trash. Dad grabbed and dragged me into the house. He took me down to the basement as that was the only room that had a lock on the door that I couldn't get out of easily.

"You stupid son of a bitch! After everything your mother and I have done for you, you go out and pull a stupid stunt like this. You can stay down here for the weekend and think about how stupid and ungrateful you are." He walked out slamming the door behind him. I heard the distinct click of the door being locked and dead bolted.

***

I spent the weekend healing from the beating that I took Friday night. I guess Dad didn't want anyone at school to know what happened. Connor would be anxious about not talking all weekend. I had to sort that out also. Dad brought breakfast, so I was sure that it was Monday morning, but I wasn't sure what to expect.

"Get your ass up and get cleaned up for school. From now on you will travel with Josh to and from school. You are to come right home, and go straight to your room." He turned and walked out of what I had determined was my cell.

When I went upstairs, I noticed that my window had been sealed and bars had been installed on the outside, making sure that I couldn't sneak out the window. My door had been changed to a heavy-duty door with a deadbolt on the outside. Grabbing my bag that I had packed last night, I quietly opened the door before tiptoeing down the stairs and heading for the garage to get my car.
