     After myself, Derek and Peter had been left alone in the clearing, everything was kind of awkward and tense, and I don't know why. The whole time we are cleaning up the clearing, cleaning up the mess the whole Pack left behind, I can feel Derek watching me, but I never manage to catch the Alpha doing so.

     After the cleaning had been cleaned up, Derek just wandered back through the forest and left myself and Peter alone. We eventually followed the Alpha, and find him sitting in my Jeep. While Peter climbs into the passenger seat, I throw the bags into the back of the Jeep before climbing into the driver's seat, squishing the Alpha between myself and Peter.

     I drop Peter and Derek off at Derek's loft before heading back home, not noticing that Derek left his phone in the Jeep until I get there. That's when I message Peter to tell him to let his nephew know of the forgotten phone. As I wait for a reply, I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling, trying to remember what happened the previous night. By the time a blurry memory is running through my mind, Peter messages me back.

     From: Creepy Petey
     I have informed Derek of his missing phone, but
     he doesn't seem too worried about it. It almost
     seems like he planned for it to be left in your Jeep.

     To: Creepy Petey
     That's just crazy Peter. This is Derek we are talking
     about. He never forgets his phone. Or anything for
     that matter.

     From: Creepy Petey
     You do have a point but do not forget that Derek is
     also unpredictable. Never forget that.

     To: Creepy Petey
     I hope that it is his unpredictability that has made
     him turn up at my window just now.

     From: Creepy Petey
     Possibly. See what he wants.

     I lock my phone and then unlock my window before returning to my spot on the bed. I hear Derek slide the window up and climb inside, closing the window once he has two feet on the carpet. I look over at the awkward looking Alpha and frown, sitting up. I have never known this Alpha to be awkward about anything before, so, this is new to me.
