Hunting Mate

Chapter Six

I went to go see Frankie for a bit "hey dude" he says "hey, how you doing?" I ask "your girl has a good fire on her?" Frankie had a smirk on his face seeing the light of it all; I laugh nervously "your girl?" Axel shot his head in my direction "yeah, I imprinted on her" Axel looked worried-almost scared-he held his breath for a moment "look, I didn't know that she was your imprintee and I was worried about my brother" he quickly defended himself, I laughed "I want to kill you so much but don't worry I won't" I tap his shoulder.

Frankie kicked everyone out the room so we could talk "what wrong, dude?" he asks "so after what happened with you, Pandora came to the safe house where I was and we spend the night together" I said, Frankie let out a long whistle "no, I cleaned her wound then we went to bed so I could check on you and then we slept and I walked her back after breakfast this morning" he looks at me "go on"

I look down at the ground "we kissed but sometimes inside of me keeping telling me to stop the kiss, I fought against the voice as long as I could and then after her father came over-" I stopped myself for a moment to breathe nervously I look at Frankie who was staring at me "Frankie, I've imprinted on a teenager, she 14" Frankie's mouth opened wide as did his eyes.

I rub the back of my neck "Frankie say something you not talking, just staring at me like that, isn't helping me" I say fast he closed both for a second and breathes looking at me "look, dude yeah she's young she will grow up, you should have listened to your instinct you should know that wolf instincts are always right but don't fret over it, talk to her about her age ask why it never came up and she knows your age you never knew hers just remember that" I sit there taking in Frankie's words.

I nod "you're right, did I tell you she thinks I'm the cutest wolf she's ever seen?" I say with a smile he laughs "oh really, did she mention me since she shot?" I laugh and nod "yeah that's how I knew it was you she shot, I think she wants to groom you" I state he looks shocked "it's a condition" he says pretending to be really hurt, I could tell in his eyes it did hurt but he wanted to make it out as a joke instead "she doesn't know that though" I say he nods.

A thought comes to mind "Frank?" I question "hmm?" I look at her "if you were here last night and I was at the cabin with Pandora...who was out patrolling?" I question "Alpha sorted it apparently" he says "do you know who I'm with tonight?" I question "no idea" he says "I bet I'm with Jaq" I say he laughs "possibly, you did do training together" he says I sigh "I might request someone" he laughed "oh yeah Alpha'll love that" he says, he was right he would sick me with someone I hate just for the fact I tried making it my job instead of his, like I'd just went over and told him I could make a better alpha, if I ever did that.

As if he could hear us talking about him, he comes in "hey Joe" Frankie says "how you feeling?" he asks "I'm high so I'm good" he joked not that Joe laughs he looks at me "and where we you last night?" he asks "I'm sorry, Alpha, I got caught up in-" he cuts me off "I don't want your excuses you can do your shift and Jake's shift" he said so basic I'm doing a back to back shift which would add up to 14 hours, I bow my head "yes, Alpha" I answer quietly.

He checks the bandage on Frankie's leg "Alpha, may I know who I am working with tonight?" I ask he looked at me "Stuart and then Will" he answers, I have no idea who Stuart is so I'm guessing he's new from training but at least I get Will afterwards "ok, thank you Alpha"

My shift came faster than I could imagine, I strip out of my clothes and then leave my house then phase into my wolf form. I head out to the patrol meeting area as I see a wolf smaller than me he was grey with a face that was a little darker, I am so gonna start calling him fifty shades. I saw his head spin as he looks at me, oops he heard that.

I walk over to him 'hi you must be Stuart, I'm Layton' he looks around 'nice too meet you' he says, his voice was almost childlike-how old is this kid? 'I'm 16. How do I stop hearing your every thought?' nice introduction, I was trying to hold back asking if he was a late bloomer because of his voice but he probably already knew I wanted to ask then it hits me 'wait, you don't know how to shut someone out?' I asked he shakes his head, ok so he hasn't even finished training-thanks Alpha.
