Where He Belongs

~Forty-Two~

A/N: A bit of a filler chapter while I wait for QUESTIONS! GUYS, PLEASE! HELP KATE'S DREAMS COME TRUE!

But, in a less dramatic way, please! Any plot holes you want filled? You got it! You wonder what shampoo I use in the hair you've never seen? That's creepy as hell but you know what? PANT-FREAKING-TENE. (It's fantastic guys).

Also, SEE THE COVER? See it? See it? See it? It took me a long time to figure out which beautiful cover I wanted to use but I decided on this, thanks to the artistic genius of GrimmPrincess!

You rock!

Peace Out, Girl Scouts

I'd never felt so awkward.

The massive dominate wolf was sitting stiffly in the loveseat, his mate squeezed beside him looking uneasy. Austin kept glancing at me then away if my eyes met his. No one spoke, no one moved. "Uhm," began Dawson delicately. "I'll go check the tea."

He was lucky as he escaped the weirdness of the room. "So...ah--Alpha is doing well, then?"

I looked at Austin in surprised. "I think so." I replied back shortly.

Austin scratched the back of his head. "Good...good... I'm gonna go see what's going on with--"

Dawson appeared, cutting him off. "You can go back to your...weights," I offered. "I'll just visit with Dawson."

Austin shook his head. "Gotta keep eyes on you at all times." he recited with perfect clarity before falling silent again.

"Uh--do like TV? My shows are on?" tried Dawson, earning him a sharp and far too hard nudge from his mate.

"He doesn't give a shit if your shows are on. He's the fucking Luna. Show some respect!"

Nodding as he rubbed his now sore arm, Dawson looked at me. "Wh-what do you want to watch?"

"Your shows sound good." I replied. I wasn't too fond of TV. It gave me a headache after a while. Even at my old house I could only stand so much of it. "Really, Austin."

I noticed the dominate wolf glaring at the timid Omega who scurried to turn on the TV. His dark eyes flickered to me.

Soon a show was on. I watched some, growing bored quickly. It seemed to be a drama. The announcer recapped the 'last episode' in a deep, intense voice. I guess Rachel had just had sex...with her biological brother she never knew. I could tell that Dawson was very into the show by the sparkle in his eyes as the episode began.

The two siblings looked nothing alike, and all the girl (Rachel) did was weep throughout the episode before confiding in her 'best' friend Mona, who turns around and tells her gay tabloid best friend, Maurice. Then the episode was over and Dawson looked giddy. "How will Mona get her way out of this?" the announcer asked ambigously as the show came to a close.

"Ugh! I love the show! Do you watch it?"

Austin just snorted. "Dramatic bullshit--pardon my language, Luna."

"It's fine." I insisted. Really, I was just glad there was some conversation filling the empty space between us. "No. I've never even heard of it. What is it?"

"In the Den," sneered Austin sarcastically.

Dawson glared at him. "It's about two werewolf packs who share one border. And omigod, the drama!"
