The animal whisperer meets the alpha

Chapter 4

They all looked at me as I shoved them inside my closet with the extra water bottles and food. I shut the door and ran into the hall and whistled high and loud.

"All except Zeus! In the study, this is not a drill!" I exclaimed. All the animals bounded/flew into the study. Akin was holding Merlin in his talons and Fred and George were packing Michael. I ran to the guest bedroom that was Fred and George's and quickly cleaned it up. I barely got it fixed up when I heard the front door open.

"Sweet heart! We're home!" My mom called. I flinched, it was going to be a long visit. I walked out of the room into the hall and went downstairs to the dining room where they had catered food already set up.

"Hi mom, hi dad, how was your trip?" I asked, I had learned my lesson a long time ago to always ask how their trip went.

"It went well, please, join us." My father answered.  I reluctantly sat down, worried that someone would make a noise.

"We heard about a couple of wolf sightings and felt the need to come and stay for the week just to make sure that everything is safe." My mother said. Fear coursed through me, I couldn't sneak them out of my room if my parents were home and there is absolutely no way to keep them hidden and silent the entire time.

Arie, calm down, everything will be okay. Michael said. I never understood how he understood so much.

"Of course mother, it is terrifying to think of werewolves possibly being this close to home." I responded.

"You should come with us on our next hunt darling." My father said.

"Dad! I just applied to a veterinarian clinic for marine animals in California, I can't go with you because if I miss the letter there is no way I'll be able to get the job!" I said. My parents never paid any attention to details that involved me, my details only lasted the visit and they would forget the moment they left for another hunt. To prove my point, they both agreed that maybe now isn't the best time to drag me on a hunt, and this was the tenth time I've used that exact same excuse in a row. I ate a plate full of noodles with spices and peppers before excusing myself to my room. I sat on my bed with a soft sigh, then glanced at the closet door.

What are we going to do?

She's going to rat on us, you know that!

We are going to stay silent until she tells us that the coast is clear.

Did you not listen to her parents? You need to learn how to eavesdrop! They're not leaving for a week! Do you honestly think that she's going to be able to hide us for that long.

Arie, quit listening in on other people's thoughts, it's not a good thing. Akin scolded. I quickly blocked the werewolves out and Zeus walked into my room, his head held low as he walked up to my bed and jumped up on it. All I had to do was flip the mattress, luckily, I didn't have a pillow top, if I did, I would never forgive Fred and George for ruining it.

Arie, why are you sad? Zeus asked.

I don't know what to do. I answered him. If I try and sneak three full grown werewolves out of the house, then I'm sure to get caught, but I can't keep them hidden in my closet for a week because I have classes and my parents have no sense of privacy.

I know you'll figure something out. He said with a slight huff and placed his giant head in my lap. I gently pet his head while my other hand rubbed a sore spot on my back. I didn't have long, if my parents figured out that they were hiding in my closet and that I didn't tell them that I found werewolves, I don't know if the animals could stop them. I grabbed my bag off the floor and pulled out my biology book and began working on a paper. The only possible way of getting them out of here would be after my parents crashed for the night, but they were incredibly light sleepers so it wouldn't work. Being the worlds best hunters, if I so much as rolled over in my bed, I woke them up, even though they were upstairs and at the other end of the house. I opened my window because it had cooled off as the sun began to set, creating a soft breeze in my room. It also prevented me from making extra noise when trying to shove wolves out my window later. If I didn't do it tonight, it would be too late. They would set up the boarder tomorrow if they hadn't set it up already.
