My Past?

Chapter Four~ Returning to An Empty Room

*4 years later Scott P.O.V

I was jumping up and down with joy. Soon enough I would be home. Driving would of be to much gas for me to visit on holidays so I just sent my family and Skylar gifts. My happiness was reaching its limit I hadn't seen Skylar since I was 18. Technically, I was 17 consider my birthday is a week after hers. Anyway then out off the blue, she told me to not talk to her. I understand, but I don't. That day though must have been horrible. Sadly I have lost contact with almost everyone in my pack, but with me coming home there shouldn't be a problem with that. I pull up into the driveway nervously tapping my thumbs on the steering wheel. My parents hurry out of the pack house and towards me. I was just getting out when I was attacked with hugs. Laughter filled the air as I sat outside and talked with my parents. My dad and I unloaded our stuff and went upstairs. Since, I was gone my parents said Shawn found his mate and became Alpha. His dad watches over him, but all in all he is a great Alpha.

I hurry up to my room and throw my crap on the bed before exploring the area. So much has changed since I left. The woods have grown, and there are more houses. Everything is great. I walk up to the Alphas office and knock on the door. Hearing a "Come in" I walk into the office. Shawn's once long dirty blonde hair is now cut and out of his face. When he sees me his brown eyes light up. "Hey man, how you been?" He gives me a manly hug and pats me on the back.

"Good, school was exhausting at first, but once you get the hang of it soon it becomes a breeze." Shawn nods his head, "Well considering you and Keegan were the only warriors from this pack to get in you have lots of work." I nodded my head. "Where do you want me to start?"

"I want you to start on the rebellious teens. Get mostly guys, but if you see any strong willed girls teach them," I nodded. "Once Keegan and you have built their abilities up I want y'all move to your own age group teach them all you know. Then from there ask and see if some of the older men would like to spare while you and Keegan walk around." 

"Yes sir," I got up to leave but was stopped, "Oh and Scott, you should meet my mate, she quite the lovely thing she is." I nodded and made my way out.

I walked down to the living room, but while I was at the bottom of the stairwell I noticed the picture frames that were once hung up were taken down. The walls were repainted. Continuing my walk to the living room I noticed everything was new. New couches, coffee tables, lamps, TVs, and the flooring were new. Wow, they really went over board.

'Something doesn't feel right Scott,' I rolled my eyes. 'As much as I love you Jeremy nothing ever feels right with you.' He agreed and cut of our link. I continued to walk around. Venturing outside I bumped into Luna Alice, "Good Morning, Luna Alice. How have you been?" Seeing me brought tears into her eyes that she quickly wiped away. Knowing Luna Alice all my life I have never seen her cry. "Oh Scott I told you not to call me that, and I am doing just fine considering." She briskly walked by me. 'Considering ... considering what?' Shaking my head, I walked outside. Taking in a deep breath I picture Skylar and I long, long ago when we were kids. We had a tree house further back into the woods. Now that I think about it I want to go. At school they gave us pairs of shirts and shorts that are able to shift with you and back to human form with out ripping, and luckily I was wearing a pair of those. Shifting in mid air I took off towards the old tree house of ours.

I didn't take me long to get there. The ladder was already down and looked very unstable. Ignoring the small alarms in my head, I climbed up the ladder. When I reached the top I saw it exactly how it was from the last time I was here with her. My mind soon wonders into a daydream about her. Ever since I left she was all I thought about, my best friend. She had been with me through it all. I can't wait to scare her mate and get him jealous, which will probably result in me getting a beating, because I won't fight him knowing he is Skylar's mate. If I say so, myself, her mate and I will be best buds.
