My Roommate's a Werewolf

Chapter 4: Derek

When Raina's alarm went off the next morning at 6:45 for whatever she set it on for screamed electronic obscenities into my ear. I instantly shot straight up into the air and dismissed it.

"Ummmm," Raina mumbled, unconcerned, and pulled up the sheets around her head. "I'll......get up in a second."

She sank back to bed as if she'd grown there and that was it. She was asleep and I was not. I leaned back against the cushioned headboard and let her sleep for a few minutes more. Least I could do since she let me sleep in her bed and not the floor. I looked down at the clock and the album next to it. I grabbed the album and felt the smooth cover made out of cardboard.

I opened it. The first picture was of her and Kyle hugging each other happily. It was a memory album. Another one was one where Raina was eating Kyle's ice cream when he wasn't looking. I smiled.

"What're you looking at?" I heard Raina mumble. I didn't notice she got up.

"Oh. Your album. I hope you don't mind."

"Why would I mind?" She grinned and sat up beside me.

I shrugged and continued to page through the images again. "Are all of these of you and your dad?"

"Well not all of them. There's some with me and my mom and my best friend Allison and just some other photographs."

I stopped to look at one with him, Raina, and her mom, Grace, standing happily like the perfect family.

I already knew the answer to my question, and basically everything about her, but I just wanted a conversation going. "Did he-" I paused. Would she feel uncomfortable if I asked her?

"Die?" She finished for me. Her smile lowered.

I nodded.

She mumbled a "mhmm" for yes.

"Look if you don't want to talk about it, it's okay." I said. She didn't really need to because I knew everything about him as well.

"No. I want to." She said, also wanting a conversation going. "He died when I was nine. Well, killed. Some huntsmen found his body and called the police. The police found out it was a wolf attack."

Wolf attack. Those bastards who worked for the Alpha did that. Kyle went out to go hunt the Alpha down because it was putting harm to his family by bringing it's wolves move closer to his house. The unfortunate thing was the Alpha found him first. He told Beck, my uncle. that if he didn't come back, to take over the pack. And he had to.

"Well I need to start getting ready." She looked over at the clock and got up.

"For what?"

"I have some meeting with my modeling agent today and I cannot be late."

My eyebrows raised. "You model?"

"Surprised?"

"Not really."

Honestly I wasn't surprised. She was undressing in front of me and she had an incredibly sexy body. She slipped on a pair of shorts and a camisole.

I watched her suck in her cheeks and apply a plum shade of blush. "Wanna come with?" She grinned.

"To watch hot models take pictures? Sure."

Her eyebrows drew closer together and she laughed. "We're not going into the studio. Just finish some paperwork so I can get into advanced modeling."

"No thank you then."

"Come on. Paula-my modeling agent-if she saw you she'd want you to model for the Hollister bags."

"Um no." I smirked. They were her words, not Paula's, so basically she was calling me hot.

"Fine you won't model, but please just come with me."

I grunted. "Fine." I said to shut her up. I stood up and her eyebrows raised. I followed her gaze and watched her look at my body. Her cheeks flushed and she turned around to cover her face. I laughed and grabbed my shirt and put it on.

"Okay let's go." I said to let her know she can turn around.

"Um. You're wearing sweats."

"And?"

"Paula's gonna give you a lecture about if you want to be a model, you have to dress like one."

"I never said I wanted to be one. Does she tell you that?"

"Like everyday. She said models need to look like one because one day some photographers will just come out of nowhere and start taking pictures of you." She rolled her eyes and sighed. "But I know she just says that to scare you. That's like her motto. She would also want you to look like one even if you're dead."

I raised my eyebrows and she laughed. I followed her down to the elevators and the ding! that chirped once the doors opened hurt my ears.

"Are you okay?" Raina asked as she watched me shield my ears.

"Uh. Yeah." I lied.

I followed her into a room with a sign overhead said "Modeling And Fashion Design." The room next to it said "Art And Music."

I remembered what Beck told me before I left. To study something here. It wasn't because I had to but he wanted to. Beck was always like a father to me. He'd homeschool me so I wouldn't turn out to be an idiot, or so that's how he said it.

He ordered me schoolbooks and a whole bunch of books that we had to add another room in the pack's house for a library. I was the first in the pack to be bitten before finishing school so the novelty of educating me was fascinating to the others. My brothers and Beck would stuff my brain everyday by making me read and shouted test questions at me across the dinner table on Math, Language, History, Vocabulary, Science, and Music. My favorite class was music.

Every time I would finish a box of books, Beck would order another box. With the third box of books came a new pack member: Jade.

The pack wasn't just surprised by how much she learned so quickly, but how strong she became. I'm still surprised that she's the one who trains me. Jade was too smart for schoolbooks so they made her apart of the hunting pack at a young age. I envied her. But she knew about music more than me and she taught me how to dance, play the guitar and piano. She was nicer back then than she was now.

I stopped. I knew what I wanted to study so I walked into the "Arts and Music" room.
