My choice

Jake

Two weeks later i still refuse to look at Chris in the hallways or at home. I sanitized my entire bedroom, bathroom, and living room. I still feel sticky and horrible. I wish I would've never found out.
I shook the thought out of my head. Pulling up at school, looking for a parking spot and getting frustrated, someone stopped in front the truck and I hit them.
I get out my truck ," oh my gosh are you..." I realized who it was. Chris.
"Oh" I laughed," it's just you" I got back in my truck backed up and continued looking for a spot.
Afterwards walking in school felt weird. I'm finally back but my head is spinning and my thoughts aren't the same.
Rriinngg
The bell rang for first period. " here we go.." I prepare myself for the worst.
I got bored as the teacher was talking so much bullshit about who knows what. I think it was napoleons or. I don't. I don't care either. All I know is I'm feeling weak. And vulnerable. It's time to leave I can tell already.
I'm tired, I'm bored, I'm weak, I'm just ready to go home.
I check myself out at the front office. As I pull out of the parking lot I see alpha on my tailgate. I get out my truck walk to the back of my truck.
"Get the fuck off my truck!"
"No"
"Get off or I'll hit you with the damn truck!"
"No"
"Ok you wanna play dirty let's play!!"
I hear bones cracking and pain shot to my shoulder and legs. I turned completely into wolf form. I bit Chris and he kicked me.
"Turn back now!"
I snarled.
"NOW ERICA!" He growled.
I whimpered and ran away.
I can't stand him. How dare he. Not tell me that he sent Jake away because them two had a fight over me. Sent him to freaking Arizona. WTF. I hate men. Who the hell said that Chris owns me. I'm part of his pack and I was his girl but I AM NOT HIS.
Men. Ugh.
I turned back human after running in the woods and finding a beautiful waterfall. I was so pleased and calmed when I found it. Birds chirping deer and squirrels drinking the water. I went for a dip. I swam for about 30 minutes. I heard a noise but I thought it was just an animal. And it was. Chris's animal.
He turned human and stood up. He's completely naked. I turned around.
"It's not like you haven't seen me naked before what's wrong now?"
"Leave me alone Chris."
"I can't, you're part of the pack which means I have certain things I have to do to keep you safe."
He's just doing this because he's my alpha. Wow. I know I've been distant from him but that's because he kept that secret from me. He was my best friend I can't just go without being pissed.
"So you're just here for pack business?"
"Yea, unless you wanna do something else!!" He said smirking.
"Chris are you serious? You kept that big secret from me, kicked my best friend out of state, and then have the nerve to come here and ask me to have sex with you? Fuck off Chris."
"Honestly, I don't care anymore you're not my mate. You were just good pussy that's all."
Those words hit my heart like sharp needles piercing my soul.
"O-ok." I said stuttering.
"Hurt are you? Awee now you see how I feel. It's been months I mean months since you've spoken to me. I'm not gonna wait for you to come back to me. I'm not gonna be your little puppy dog."
"I don't fucking expect you to be you asshole" realizing I'm still naked in the water as he is on land. He walked into the water step by step my face getting hot. "All I ever wanted was for you to apologize and ask him to come back down so I can see him. He doesn't have to be a part of this pack but I've got another he can be in."
"Why do you care for him so much?"
"Why? Why? Really? You're gonna fucking ask why?"
He was a few feet from me we both sat on the rocks in the water.
"Oh yea I forgot he is your 'mate'"
He said enticing mate.
"Wow you're such an ass. Honestly I don't love him. I don't want him down here to fuck him and to be my mate. I want him down here because he helps me with you. He's there for me where you and fransty can't be. I can trust him. Fransty likes to talk to her mate about everything and he blabs his mouth to everyone about it. Jake. He helps. And not to mention I could've killed him. And he was still there for me. I could've killed him and he's still my best friend. Did you know that he hasn't rejected me? He may love me, but I loved you." I said crying.
" I'm sorry Erica..."
"No fuck you. The first thing you come to me about in months is about the damn pack. Not even an apology just pack bullshit. If I need information on the pack I'll ask fransty."
"Erica please."
"No I don't want an apology from you anymore. When you prove to me I can trust you maybe just maybe I'll think about getting back together with you. Until then don't talk to me, look at me, link me, don't even think about me. I don't want a thing to do with you." I said trying to hold all the tears I back but letting a few go.
"I love you Erica. I always will. And I will make it up to you. Even if it kills me."
I turned into my wolf on land and stormed off.

Chris's POV
What to do? Can't stand her to be mad at me. I thought she would let me back in but my plan didn't work. What am I gonna do with this box now? I bought it for her and now I can't even give it to her. She doesn't love me anymore.
************************************
After going home and sleeping it off, I made a call.
It's time to face the thing I hate doing the most.
A couple hours after the call the doorbell rang. Philip answered the door.
"Uhh Erica and Chris... someone is here." Philip yelled.
"OK I'm coming." Erica said.
I followed after her down the stairs.
" OH MY GOSH JAKEE!!!!" she hugged him.
"Hi miss boss"

"What are you doing here?"

"Yea, I'm gonna let him explain."

I turned to see Chris on the stairs.
"You?"
"Me!"
" thank you."
I turned and hugged Jake again. We have so much to catch up on. I hope he's staying.
"Hey go feed yourself , I've got a conversation to attend to."
He nodded OK.
"Think you're off the hook?"
"I was hoping maybe!" He shrugged his shoulders.
"You're not. But I love you."
A smile was written across his face.
I kissed him on the cheek and went into the kitchen to see Jake chowing down on anything he can find and I laughed.

"so how was it in Arizona?"
"oh ya know, cold and frostbite is always amazing!"

"but i thought there was always something to do up there?"

"yea," he chuckled, " freeze to death." they both laughed.

"i'm so glad you cam back down, I've missed you. even though I've only been awake for so long I've still missed you."

"awe, I've missed you too." they hugged. I'm so happy she's happy and sorta OK with me.

Erica's POV

I'm so happy Jake is home! I haven't been so happy since i found the ring box hidden in Chris's room. Yea I know about that. He's not very good at hiding things. He put it in his secret compartment in his drawer, which is another thing he thins i don't know about.

After I finished up with Jake, I find my way to my room. I'm completely exhausted. It's tiring running around all day trying to show our old pack member new things around the house. I even showed him my new favorite spot in the woods, the waterfall. Anyways, I slumped down on my bed and almost fell asleep until something scared the living hell out of me. I saw someone standing in my bathroom door. It can't be. He was put in jail. This can't happen. No!

"Hi Erica."

"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" I slowly go out choking.

"Oh, I've come see you Erica. Are you not happy to see me?"

"Why the hell would i be happy to see you?" I said trying to not be scared.

"Because you miss me! I miss you." he started walking towards me.
"CHRIS!! FRANSTY!! PHILIP!! JENNINGS!! JAAAAKKKEEEEE!!! HELLPP MEEE!!"

"Oh, don't worry sweety heir all out running"

"Except one." Philip busted the door open punching Danston down.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Philip asked out of breath.

"That is Danston...." Philip seen me near to crying and pulled me into a hug.

"Are you OK?"

"No.... No I'm not."

"Do you need to stay downstairs with me while i call on the other?"

"Please protect me Philip." i let a tear out.

"I will Er bear. I will."

I walked downstairs as Philip drug Danston. We tied him to the chair and I punched him.

"What happened for you to hate him? I mean I'm not trying to pry or be rude but, you seem really scared and weak around him."

I sighed getting ready for the pain. "remember when we were trying to find that place where i was held?"

"
