The Alphas Temper

Chapter Four

Driving home I couldn't get what Mikhail had said before I got in my car. Who in the hell does he think he is calling me his!? Not only that the feeling his touch gives me, even though it was brief and light, scares but excites me. I wonder...

"Knock knock!!"

I jump at the voice recognizing it as Constance.

"I'm up here!! I thought we were going to meet at your place?"

I rush towel drying my hair and putting it in a messy bun and applying light mascara and a little eye liner and rushing down stairs to Constance.

"There was a slight change of plans. Sorry for dropping in on you like this." Constance stepped slightly forward to meet me at the bottom of the stair case.

"It's ok...wait how did you know where I lived?" I could feel my face make my confused/questioning/accusing look. I knew one of my brows were raised and my head was slightly tilted to the left and my eyes piercing.

"Like I said it's a small town and this was the only known empty house that is now" raising her hand pointedly to me " is now occupied."

Rolling my eyes I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my keys.

"Oh no need. We have a ride."

I looked at her confused. WE have a ride?

"Who's driving?"

I continue to the door with my keys in hand to lock the door and grab my overnight bag with my purse and wallet inside.

"Mikhail. He insisted on going."

I freeze at the mention of Mikhail and without a thought changed my mind on going. Almost as if Constance knew she spoke with reason.

"I mean he is my brother and he would have been at the house anyways also he will be at the party so I figured what the hell why not. So no changing your mind. Just relax and lets' go have some fun."

Ignoring my protest she dragged me out the door and rushed me to lock the door. Walking to the car with bag in hand I seen Mikhail holding open the trunk waiting for my bags. Taking them from me he put them in as I climbed in the back seat.

"What you don't want to sit up front with me? I don't bite...hard."

"Shut up Mikhail and lets go."

Rolling my eyes and ignoring the brother and sister I check my phone for any messages. None. Ok that means that Neveahs not waiting and if she were I would have many missed messages.

"Temper are you listening? Were here."

I look up and sure enough we were. That was an awfully short ride. Climbing out the car I could feel a stare on my back making the hair on my neck stand and shortly after a feeling of excitement. Mikhail. Before I could say anything Constance started lugging me towards the entrance rambling on about some guy named Kyle.

"I don't know what he thinks of me but he is a major hottie in a shy kind of way. He is always quiet and prefers to be alone other than with Mikhail. Seems he is the only one he talks to. Its unfair."

"Maybe he don't talk to you in fear that you won't shut up." Mikhail piped up.

I stopped walking and turned around to come up with a come back for Constance but she beat me to it.

"Or the reason is that you two are made for eachother."

Almost instantly fear rolled through me as I watched Mikhails eyes darken.

"What the hell?! That's twice now."

Looking at me confused his eyes went back to normal.

"What?" Constance acted as if she didn't notice but I know damn well she did cause her eyes do it too.

"Nothing." I turned and walked away quickly. There is something off and I don't know what it is but im going to find out. Nobodys eyes go from saphire blue to black with a hint of emerald green around the iris almost as if they were glowing.

"Temperance wait up!"

I stopped and turned to Constance who was by herself. I'm sure her brother wouldn't be too far behind. I looked around and noticed that we were in Forever 21. Maybe if we are lucky Mikhail wouldn't follow us in here. Looking to the door I didn't see him. A wave of satisfaction hit me and then an even stonger feeling of dissappointment. What the hell??

"Where do you think you are going, especially without me, in such a rush?" Constance said jokingly but it didn't reach her eyes. I caught her glancing around the store almost as if she were uncomforable with being in here.

"Shopping for the party of course."

I turn on my heel and walk to the closest rack of clothes and instantly start sorting through them to find a top with Constance on my heels. Ten minutes has passed and she has not relaxed not one bit. Finally finding a dress I liked I held it up for Constance to check out. It was a long sleeve deep V neck sheer white with a gold belt to go around the waist. The neck line consisted of a gold chain with clasps that hooked in the back. Plain, simple, but could be cute with the right accessories. Yes I would have to buy a slip to go under so it won't be completely see through but its a dress I don't have yet so why not.

"What do you think about this one? I have some awesome heels that would go great with this."

"Perfect! Now let us pay for it and then we can go to another shop to get my outfit. I pretty much own everything in this store that I like already."

Rushing to the counter I pay for my shirt and we start to head out the door. Just by walking out the door Constance seemed to relax a little bit.

"So where do you want to go to get your outfit?"

"Let's find Mikhail first."

================================================================

*Constance POV*

Maybe we shouldn't have come shopping here. It is neutral territory but what in the hell was Mikhail thinking! I was hoping not to smell a leech or our rivaling pack let alone notice HIM eyeing Temperance. Mikhail is not going to be pleased.

"Can we slow down!?"

Turning to Temper I slow my pace and apologize. Mikhail could be anywhere in this mall. For crying out loud I don't see why he didn't come running as soon as I mentioned HIM and that HE was within 20 ft of his mate through our link! Speaking of which he didn't even answer...

"We are never going to find him in here. There are way too many people scurring around. Why don't we just go to the dining area and just call him on his phone. I'm getting hungry anyways."

"I tried calling to him he ignored me."

"When did you try calling him?"

SHIT! Oops.

"While you were looking at shirts I called him he didn't pick up and he didn't reply to my text either."

Please believe me...just this once. Mikhail is going to kill me. Temper just nodded her head and gave me an 'Oh.' and went on her way to the first line she seen. Not letting her out of my sight I pull out my phone and actually call Mikhail. No answer.

"Any luck yet?"

"No..."

Taking a seat I start to play the waiting game with Mikhail while Temper ate. I am going to have his head!!

'YOU HEAR THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU SHOW YOUR FACE MIKHAIL! ANSWER ME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!'
