Stubborn Love

Chapter 4

I did as I said I would, I didn't leave my room the entire night. I was the most stubborn person in my family, no one was gonna change that. Especially not my father.

When I left my room in the morning for school my mother was waiting by the bottom of the stairs. I couldn't tell what emotion was in her face, she looked pissed but also empathetic. For at least an hour last night she yelled, pleaded and cried from outside my door but I didn't budge. She called me a "stubborn little girl" and then left. The little girl part kinda hurt though since I am 18. Now here she was waiting for me and looking at me in a new way that I'd never seen before.

"Hi mom?"

"Tyler."

"Can I do something for you?"

"Maybe grow up?"

She was asking for me to react and get angry but refused to. She wasn't gonna get any sort of reaction out of me.

"Maybe you should tell dad not be such a dick"

Okay so I lied but she made my blood boil and I could see that I had made her so much angrier. She growled almost as loud as my dad did last night. Luckily for me she didn't have the ability of an Alpha so it didn't bother me or my wolf that much. I knew that I shouldn't have said what I did but I wasn't backing down. I grinned and growled louder then her, I did have the alpha gene. I could see her wolf trying to cower but my mom was too proud for that.

Just when I'd though I'd won my father punched a whole in the wall. We both were turned to him, frightened.

"Enough of this! Tyler go to school and I will deal with you when I get home tonight! Darling come with me, we need to talk"

My mom leaped immediately to his side, it made me sick. I also did as he said though cause I didn't need anymore trouble.

       Eliza and Carter were waiting in their car for me, it was their turn to drive me. I got in the front seat and slammed the door, almost breaking the handle.

"Wow calm down, you'll break my mom's car"

"Sorry Eliza my family just pisses me off"

"What happened this time?" Carter piped in.

"My mother and I were fucking growling at each other, like who does that? It was beyond fucked up"

"I'm sorry did you just say that you were growling at each other? I know we are werewolves but that's a little much"

        She was laughing so hard she barely finished her sentence. Both Carter and I started laughing too, it was pretty stupid. They always knew how to make me feel better. That's why they were my best friends. The drive to school was full of laughter and I'd basically forgotten all about this morning.

         When we got to school we were at least 15 minutes late but I didn't really care. I walked leisurely to class and didn't even bother to sneak in. Of course the teacher yelled at me and I made a snarky comment. I sat down beside Mason but didn't look at him.

When we got free time to do our homework he wasted no time in turning to talk to me. At first I tried to ignore him but that was hard when he almost pushed me out of my chair.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" I tried to act like I didn't know what he meant.

"You're ignoring me, I thought we were friends?"

"I don't know you. To be honest you give me this weird feeling and every time you mention your sister I feel even weirder. I don't need anymore weird in my life"

He looked at me like with a few emotions running across his face. I knew I was mean but I didn't think he'd be this upset.

"You literally did this to me at the worst time possible" his face hardened and he shook his head at me.

"What do you mean?"

"Well yesterday my mother had a meeting with a pack Alpha about my sister and now she can't be the alpha unless she's married. She won't come out of her room or eat or anything. My mom's trying to find her a girl but all she wants is her mate. She's 25 and still hasn't found her"

"I know what she's going through, I have like a month to find mine or my dad is marrying me to someone so I can take over as Alpha"

"But you're 18?"

"Yup, fucked up right?"

"Yeah" I saw a little smirk on his lips, I felt bad for being mean.

"Look I'm sorry for saying what I did, I just have a lot going on with my parents at home and school is kinda like my escape"

"It's okay, I don't really understand your feelings but it doesn't matter"

"Forget what I said okay?"

He nodded and I was relieved. He was a really nice person and these feelings I'm having aren't bad, just new. The rest of the day went by too fast. Before I knew it I was on the front porch of my house, my anxiety was through the roof. My dad had obviously gotten home early cause his car was sitting in the driveway. I took a deep breath and walked in.
