The Alpha Shifter

Chapter 14 - Leo

"Alpha, we're running low on supplies. I was wondering If I could send someone into town to pick up a few things for me? I wrote a list." Amanda, one of the pack mother's, and a self proclaimed 'head chef', announced as soon as I stepped foot into the kitchen in the early morning.

"I can go, Amanda." I grinned and walked up to her to take a look at the list. This is the perfect excuse to go into town to search for my little mate, without arousing suspicion over my actions. "Alpha really, it's okay. I can send one of the girls to go on the way home from school." Amanda protested trying to move the list out of my arms reach, only I was taller than her and was easily able to take hold of the list and smile down at her. "No, I'ts quite alright. I need to pick up a few things myself too." Reassuring her, I took hold of the list, seeing that it was folded a number of times and wasn't actually as small as I first through it to be.

"I'm going into town, need anything?" I asked Tessa and Alexander as I took hold of the car keys, pocketed the list and pulled on a light jumper. "I need some pads, or tampons." Tessa replied.

"Uhh okay, sure." While walking out the door and towards the car garage, Alexander replied with a polite no.

Jumping into the car, I slowly navigated my way out of pack grounds, careful as to not accidentally run into any pups or shifted wolves. It had happened before, not by myself, but others that decided that the pack grounder were a race track and could drive out as fast as they wanted to. Since that incident a pack law had been enforced to ensure that exiting and entering speed limit of pack grounds was like that of a school zone, a slow 20. To ensure that no more accidents were to occur. Once I made my way onto the main road towards the small town, I turned the radio up and tried to calm my wolf who was going crazy at the thought of seeing my beautiful little mate one more time. He was itching to get out and sniff her out for himself. Taking control over my breathing I was able to let my wolf simmer just below the surface, but not readying to break out and take full control over my actions.

Pulling into the car park I noticed a Jeep similar to the one that Alexander likes to drive back at the pack house. However, this one made my heart race more than the one back at the pack house did. Shaking off the weird feeling I jumped out of the car after parking it, and made my way into the small town finding it to be full of people, for it being quite early in the morning. Smiling to myself, I felt content with my surroundings, which was weird seeing as I was out of my element and away from my pack and the safety it held with it.

Walking to the trolly bay, I took one of the largest they had to offer and made my way into the supermarket whilst taking the list that Amanda had given me out of my pocket. Scanning over the list quickly I started the long mission on making sure that I had every single thing on it, otherwise Alpha or not, Amanda will have my head on the chopping block and serve me up for dinner instead of what I was meant to bring home.

All throughout the shopping trip, my wolf kept stirring up begging to run into other sections of the store. As much as I wanted to follow my wolves instincts I knew it was safer for me to continue shopping like a normal human being as to not draw too much attention onto my self. It was when I got into the personal hygiene section of the supermarket that my wolf really went crazy, trying to break free and run. Looking around, I only spotted one other trolly on close proximity, and much like myself they had an over flowing trolly, which looked like it was going to crumble and fall to the ground at the slightest of touches. It was packed so high that I couldn't even see the person pushing it.

Shaking away my wolves thoughts I mind linked Tessa. T, what brand, and size and uhh other stuff did you need? I questioned, looking at the huge range of pads, and tampons and other period related products. It's a blue packet she replied instantly. Nodding my head, I looked around spotting almost ten different brands and types that were all in a blue packet. Tessa, please help me out a bit.. there are about ten different ones.. Do you just want one of each? I questioned already reaching to get one packet of each, maybe the other girls in the pack can use them too. NO! Do you know how much they cost? Just get the blue and black packet, it should say sport type on it. They have cute fun facts on the inside of each pad too. Tessa replied. Looking around, I spotted three different types of packets that were blue and black with the words sport on it. Shrugging I picked them all up and threw them into the trolly.
