Love and Lies

Chapter 3

Moonbeam's POV

After school, I walked home as usual. All I could think about was how I'm probably going to die today all because of a pencil. I shook my head and looked up to the sky, praying that I didn't die today.

I finally reached the pack house (where all the teenage werewolves in our pack live) and I was dreading what was to come next. I slowly turned the door knob on the front door, trying to refrain from being heard. I then tip-toed into the house, slowly and gently shut the door behind me and quietly made my way up the 2 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor where my room is.

The only people that live on this floor are the Beta and Delta (third in command) family. Since my dad used to be the current Beta of the pack (both of my parents died 2 years ago), Jasmine, Bane (my older brother) and I live on this floor. Jake Wolf lives on this floor also because his mother is the current Delta and he is the future Delta. He's as big of a jerk as my brother and the Alpha.

I did a happy dance once I had gotten to my bedroom door. I was glad I avoided Bracken and Jasmine successfully....or maybe I spoke too soon.

"Moonbeam Jackson, please follow me into my office." Alpha Bracken said.

Great. I guess this is where I end up dying.

I followed him down the flight of steps, passing the second floor, which has all the rest of the pack members, including the omegas (lowest rank in the pack), and to the first floor where we went down several hallways to get to his sound-proof office.

I walked into the room cautiously, not knowing what he was about to do. Probably skin me alive but I'm hoping that's not the case.

"Sit down, please." Alpha Bracken told me. Of course I couldn't say no because I just wanted to sit down after a long day, so I sat on the leather love seat with Alpha Bracken sitting on the love seat on the opposite side of the table that was between us two.

"Now, do you know why I called you here?" He asked me.

"To skin me alive for treason? Although, I'm hoping that's not the case because I still haven't met my mate and all that so if you could spare my life, yeah that would be great. " Oh snap. Did I just talk to the Alpha like that? Dang, I'm just digging my grave aren't I?

To my surprise he chuckled and shook his head.

"You don't have to worry about never meeting your mate Moon."

Moon? Only my siblings can call me that. What is happening here?!

"Why is that, Alpha?"

"Call me Bracken. And you don't have to worry about never meeting your mate because I'm not going to skin you alive or anything. " Wow. Well that was unexpected. The Alpha is always known to be mad when people call him just by his name without the title and he's giving me permission to do what angers him the most?

"Okaaaay. Then, why have I been summoned here?"

"I have asked you here because I need your blessing."

"Blessing for....?"

"Blessing for your sister and I...."

Now that, that blew me away. Jasmine and this jerk? My little sister with this player?! You probably already know what my decision was going to be.

"Why should I give you my blessing. For one, you are a player. Two, you are a jerk and your group always bullied me when my sister wasn't there, not that I cared because nothing that you said bothered me, and three, how do I know that you aren't going to end up hurting her?" I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrow waiting for an answer. He looked extremely angry and I could tell his wolf was coming out but I wasn't scared.
