The 14 year old alpha

Chapter 14

Things finally slipped back into normality. I started living in the private alpha wing of the house and I started to forget about my mate, and he started to forget about me.

Cold one's came in and out of the territory constantly, and the threats were becoming much more deadly.

Josh and I do...do mate type things together. It's hard to stay apart.

I stopped being an alpha and a werewolf a few days ago now, but I might shift again.

The only human in the pack house.

I went out with my friends often. Too often!

Me and Josh stopped doing mate type things.

He said he will wait and see if I become a werewolf and then he might mark me.

But otherwise, we're no longer mates.

Because I'm human, and a human has no mates.

I think about the days when Josh and I were mates, and now when I see him, I envy him. He is a wolf. 

I liked being alpha. But I like all the freedom. Being a human is also pretty sweet. A human in the pack house, that's what I am. 

Do you know how precious I am? I have bodyguards, because I am such a fragile human, and I have a pack of cold ones tracking me. 

The fourteen year old alpha is all I hear in the gossip.

Today I went out to the diner and ate, and ate, and ate. . 

"Eat, more, eat, eat, eat!" My friend jibed. 
"I'll get fat, you know I can't run like you, or have a mate that likes me whatever I look like" 
My friend, Rani, put her arm around me. "I'm sorry..." 
"It's not your fault" I told her. All my friends were sixteen, and I was fifteen, I hadn't reached the shifting age, anyway. "I couldn't shift anyway, remember? It's just unlikely I will shift" I said, shrugging, and drinking my milkshake. 

I was shot pitying looks by the waitress as she handed us the cheque. I just looked away, used to it. 

I could see Rose, getting angry with her, one single tremor rolled over Rose's body. I could feel the waitresses eyes still on me. 

"We didn't pay you to gawk" Rose snarled. The waitress held herself back. 

She's a human too. 

I jumped at the new voice in my head.

No, no. I have convinced myself I will never shift. 

I counted the days to my birthday, and realised it wasn't long. Two days. 

This was how it was supposed to happen. 

This is how you were supposed to shift. 

No, it has to just be a random spirit possessing me. 

I let the voice slide, and started to calm Rose.
