No Wolf's End (Book 3 Of Mckayla Series)

Chapter 5

Mckayla

We made it home without any trouble. It was my first time in a car after over eight years. The ride was uncomfortable and bumpy feeling cramped with my pack.

Everyone climbed out, my sister immediately rushing to her mate. Sara was very weak and dizzy but able enough to stand. "What the hell happened?"

I would let Sara explain that.
"Make sure you eat something. Last thing we need is a hungry wolf on a prowl," I said holding back the snarl that wanted to come out.

I let everyone head toward the house calling for Bran to stay behind. Laurie turned back worried.

"I'm not going too far." I nodded for her to go in. "It's late...go eat."

When we were alone I directed Bran to follow me a far enough distance for no one to eavesdrop. "I know the Alpha in Ohio."

"You want me to call him?"

"No." I remember exactly how the Alpha was and his mate. They weren't exactly my favorite Alpha pair. I trusted my instinct. "I don't make phone calls...I just show up. Jace would have the number to the person I want you to talk to. Her names Sam." After explaining to Bran who she was and what to ask her Bran walked off leaving me alone to my thoughts.

I had a decision to make. Too much stress was invading my thoughts and I couldn't focus.

Nina walked to me timid and quiet. She continuously slicked her hair behind her ears, nervously and I knew she was wry on her approach. My eyes scrutinized her and huffed, snarling with no more patience for her actions and judgement towards me. I know that Nina and I could work. My hybrid did not have to control my path to love but without Nina's support and love I wasn't sure if I can deal with her looking at me with sadness as if I had died.

"I'm--do you want to be alone?" Her voice was small and not like herself. I thought back to the time when I arrived back to this pack. She was indecisive about how to approach me.

My eyes roamed over her, hearing the loud rapid pounding of her heart. I could see her carotid pulse jumping, my eyes watchful of every pulsating motion. My gums ached as I felt the beginning of my hybrids hunger surfacing. Those vampires weren't nearly enough to keep me warm in not feeling the chill of cold in my veins. I was ready for another fix of blood.

I was still angry. Nina and Sara had went off careless getting drunk not thinking of the consequences. They could have been killed. The thought of that scared me to the point of me wanting to lock Nina up so I would never feel that fear again.

I stripped off my clothes right in front of Nina, my eyes never lowering from hers. "Shift." My voice left no argument; a petulant nod for her to act quickly to my demand. Nina stripped off her clothes hastily, closing her eyes as she took a deep breath than shifted. Nina's wolf stood on all fours, her tail low between the legs as she moved hesitantly toward me. I wondered if I should give Nina what she wanted. She wanted me to run my fingers through her coat and tell her everything was alright. That I wasn't angry with her. I couldn't do that.

Sara would get her turn in being discipline. I shifted wolf not saying a word to Nina. As my body altered into my wolf my mind also slipped into my hybrid.

She was also angry with Nina. Nina had denied her as a mate rather Nina realized that or not. She was the hybrid; separate from Mckayla, and Nina would have to earn her love. Mckayla was to forgiving of Nina's actions and would teach her tonight who was the dominant.

It was confusing to me how I got here. Nina had followed me to the home my father built me before his death. It was getting easier each day to call him my father instead of by his first name. I hated my father, or at least thought I hated my father all the years I was left as a rogue, alone and angry.
