Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 24: Hot

Jamie

Marissa was the last one to come back inside, because she had to get clothes for Donovan. After she got them, she took them outside and Allen freed Donovan from the dirt.

He did it without watching, of course. We were both inside explaining to the other girl what happened when Marissa told us she was ready. Allen shook his hand a tiny bit and we felt an intense rumbling from outside. Minutes later, Marissa came in carrying Donovan in a fireman's lift.

"Okay, now that we're all here, we need to figure some things out." I said, starting the conversation. "The first thing I want to mention is that Marissa is obviously your alpha."

Allen's eyes widened in fake surprise. "Really? I hadn't noticed." he said sarcastically.
She must have felt guilty, because she starting speaking quickly. "Allen I'm so sorry! I know how it feels to be under someone else's​ control and I want you to know that I didn't actually try to turn you into-"

He waved her off. "Shhh. It's fine. I'd rather it be you than him." He pointed to the unconscious Donovan on the couch. "We can already see what type of alpha he is. He acts like a megalomaniac."

I moved in closer to him and checked his arm. Sure enough, there was a heart shaped scar on it. The heart was small, but very obvious. He looked at the same thing I looked at, and flipped out.

"What the heck is that?! How did that get there?" He started rubbing it furiously, as if that could make it go away.

"It's a scar, Allen." I patted his shoulder. He kept staring at it and flexed his muscles, trying to make it move. "It looks more like a tattoo." He told me, smiling.

"It's not a tattoo," I told him. "It's a scar. It's the reason you're a werewolf. Because of that scar, you've been attacked and hunted by vampires. And guess who gave it you."

He kept staring at me, waiting for my answer, while I took a glance at Marissa. She glared at me, infuriated.
"Who's side are you on?" She screamed.

I smiled for a second, but then I wondered, why did I do that? I'm not vindictive, and I don't dislike Marissa at all. I don't spite her, and she's never crossed me. Maybe Donovan was starting to wear off on me. I don't know what happened.

"Wait, so you did this to me?" He asked her." She stopped looking at me. "It was the night you saved us. I imprinted on you the moment I saw you, and imprinting is like a crush, except it's deeper... and​ more possessive."

She waited for him to respond, but he said nothing, and waited for her to keep talking.

"Anyways, that night, there was also a full moon, and you know how weird we start to act when the full moon comes and-"

"I've never been affected by the full moon." Allen interrupted.
"That's kind of confused me for a while. I mean, at first I barely noticed it, but whenever I was alone, whenever I had a chance to think, I was wondering why I couldn't turn into a normal wolf like you guys, and why the moon doesn't turn me."

"It's probably because of the... man, what do we call it? Virus? Disease? Contagion? Anyways, We, the ancient werewolves, are so powerful that our power leaks out, and infects others. They become wolf like creatures, but they aren't werewolves and that don't respond to an Alpha. They run around insane until we put them down.
