 I think my heart just stopped...I'm going to be the Alpha?!?

"You can't be serious?" I said dumbly and Jem chuckled,

"Of course I'm serious. Like I said, I'll explain it all later, like when we get to your house," He said with a smile playing on his lips. I pushed the thought out of my head as I leaned over and kissed his cheek. I could have sworn I saw his blush a little but he just cleared his throat, "What was that for?" he asked casually,

"I missed you," I said sweetly and he chuckled,

"I missed you too dearest," He said, bringing my hand up to his mouth and kissing each and every one of my knuckles.

The rest of the car ride was silent, but comfortably so this time. I turned on the radio and we sat in the waves of classical music. My hand never left his but I drifted in and out of sleep until we were at my house. I smiled and let go of Jem's hand, unbuckled my seat belt and nearly tore the door off with how fast and hard I pushed it open, all the while Jem was laughing in the back. When I got out of the car Cynthia, Jake and Chase were already running to the car, and soon I was embraced in a hug,

"I'm glad you're okay," Cynthia said/muttered into the crook of my neck,

"That dick face is going to pay for what he did," Chase said sternly as they released me and Jem wrapped his arm around my waist,

"Do they know-" I was cut off by Chase's rant,

"That good for nothing rapist!" He shouted while pacing, steam literally coming out of his ears,

"Oh," I said and letting my head fall,

"It's nothing for you to be ashamed of Celine. It was Chris who tried to take advantage of you," Jake said with an understanding smile and Jem's arm tightened around me,

"Come, let's go inside, there's lots we need to talk about," Jem said and everyone nodded in agreement. When we got inside, Jeremy, Troy, Trey and the rest of the werewolves from Jeremy's group at school were crowded in the living room. All together there was about fifteen of us,

"Hey Celine," Jeremy smiled while walking over to give me a hug, but he must have thought better of it because he settled with a wave, "I mean Alpha Astra," he smirked and I tensed. Jem shook his head and Jeremy made an awkward mumbling noise and pointed to someone behind us, pretending to say hi and walking over to them,

"Alpha Astra," I whispered and Jem smiled,

"I like the sound of that," he said leading me to a couch. The two people who were sitting there got up quickly and smiled at me before going to find somewhere else to sit. I already didn't like what this new title was doing,

"I still think you should be the Alpha, your strong and handsome and so authoritative...and I'm just me. I haven't even shifted yet," I argued and he smiled slightly before kissing my temple,

"You're an Original...you were meant to be an Alpha...it's in your blood and don't worry about shifting, it'll happen soon. Give it a couple days," he said sounding pretty sure of himself,

"I don't even know what being an Original is suppose to mean," I admitted and slumped against him. He cradled me in his arms and I felt some of the weight lift off my shoulders,

"Once every one gets settled we'll explain that part okay? Just trust me," he breathed into my hair and I looked up at him,

"I trust you," I whispered and he pressed his lips to mine. The kiss would have deepened had jeremy kept from clearing his throat. Jem seemed irritated but I just smiled brightly,
