ALPHA ALEX

I drive myself crazy everyday thinking about what I could've done differently.I didn't even know her,but I miss her so much.

Rage,oh Rage.Your name expresses anger yet it seems so perfect to me.

"Alex honey are you okay sweety" my mother says snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah mom I'm fine." I say rubbing my eyes tiredly.

"You looked sad honey.Were you thinking about her again.Your going to have to give up and settle down with a real woman you knpw." She says cheerily.

I glare at her and say"No mom I won't give up on her and she"is" a real woman!I won't have anyone else!"

"I know,I know. I just wish your mate would stop causing you pain." She says honestly.

" I know mom. I wish I knew why she doesn't want me. What did I do to her?I mean what she said when she told me why didn't make any sense." I say frustrated

" What was that honey? " She asks.

I tell her about how she said the pack treated her and her family like crap.

She says nothing.Just sits there staring into the corner of her kitchen.Her face a mask of unreadable emotions.

" Mom? " I say tentivley.

"Your twenty-third birthday is coming up soon!" She says changing the subject.

I don't press and allow my self to drift away into thought about Rage while she babbles on.

RAGE

I like my jobs.There interesting.

It's November now.Ive gotten used to going to work.I even found a place in town.It's an already furnished apartment.

I've decided I'm going to hide from everyone in plain sight.I can always leave.Besides they would never try anything in town.The apartment I'm going to move in to,yes I got the place,is in the middle of town.

I move in next week.I'm really excited about it.

I smile and say."Have good evening ma'm." She takes her pizzas.Smiles and leaves.

I don't get off for another fifteen minutes.

Today is pretty slow for Paul's pizzeria.

When my shift ends I go change into my Golden palace Theater uniform.

I get there and smell a scent that is very familiar.

My agrees with me.Could it be?

She and my cousins round the corner before I know it.

I smile at her.

Her mouth falls open in shock."Rage,is it really you." She asks

"Yea,it's me." I say stiffly.

Her face falls and she says."We looked for you.We all did Rage."

"Nobody found me though did they,now go take your seats the movie is about to start." I say my voice emotionless.

She gives me one last searching look before taking a now four year old Eric's hand and walking away.

I return to my post to play with my flashlight for the rest of my shift.
