Think Again Alpha

Chapter 36

I decided to stay the night in Jayden's room again. When my Mom finally came to the pack house, we stayed up late listening to her lecture the Alpha about the artifacts. There's so much that she knows about them. It's weird to think my mom spent a majority of her teen-hood in the library and traveling around to dig up information on these stupid things. Honestly, if she never did that then technically we wouldn't be in this position right now... But I won't be the one to say that out loud.

It got so late that Jayden and I started dozing off while she was teaching. Needless to say, the Alpha dismissed us and we went to bed.

Now I find myself wandering around Jayden's room looking for my clothes. When I woke up, Jayden was already gone and out of bed. I suppose I will have to go find him in the pack house somewhere. Guaranteed he is with his dad trying to figure out where Manus could be hiding. He was pretty pissed when I made him stay but I think he realizes now that it was for the best. I think he will be able to get more done here than out in the field anyway. This way he and his dad can call around and get information from all the search parties we have prying around and looking through every nook and cranny for Manus.

I find my shirt on the floor. I slip Jayden's black T off my body and toss my shirt over my head. It fits snug and I decide to leave Jayden's sweatpants on. Honestly they are pretty big on me, but they are too comfortable to take off. I think I might keep these for a while. I mean he has so many that he won't miss one of them. Right? I quickly grab my shoes and put them on.

I slip out of the room and decide the best place to start looking for Jayden would be the kitchen. The reason for this choice? Because I'm hungry, obviously.

I skip through the halls and make my way to the giant kitchen. There is nobody in here. Huh, that's odd. Usually the pack house has at least a few pack members in the kitchen.

Although not all pack members live here, actually most don't live in the pack house, the doors are always open for the pack and people tend to take advantage of that and come here often.

I open up the cabinets in search of something to eat. To my dismay, nothing really strikes my fancy. I end up grabbing a box of Honey Nut Cheerios. I also grab a bowl, spoon, and milk then sit down at the large abandoned table in the kitchen. I pour the cereal and milk and start eating.

"Sophia!" Lexi's high pitched voice exclaims from the doorway. I look up to see her walk in followed by Georgia. They seem to be in a hurry.

"Hey what's up?" I ask as I continue to devour my meal.

"Why they heck are you still here?" She asks quickly.

I have a sinking feeling I'm missing something. "What do you mean? Why wouldn't I be here?"

"Because we got intel on where Manus is. Jayden left about thirty minutes ago to meet up with the rest of the pack, I thought you would be with him so I went looking everywhere for you."

I drop my spoon in the bowl. Milk splashes onto the table and causes a small puddle. I turn to Lexi, completely rattled by the news. "Jayden left to go find Manus?"

"Yeah. I will be joining them too, I just need to go find my stupid brother considering he didn't leave yet either."

"I'm going as well," Georgia adds.

I look at her with frightened eyes, "you're going too? Do you really want to see him again?"

"If it means that he will be caught and sent away, then yes I want to be there. Will you come with me?" She asks.

Go with her? To see Manus? I don't know if I can do it, but if Georgia is willing to go, I should too.

I slowly and hesitantly nod my head. "Okay I will come with you guys."
