Living with a Wolf

Chapter Five

I still hadn't heard anything from my family, not even a text asking if I was okay? If I had somewhere to live? Absolutely nothing. Over the short period that I have known Thomas he has become the closest thing to a family member that I have had in a long time but something isn't right. I cant complain because he is amazing, he cooks me food, takes me to nice places I may not have seen before and we have been watching the other seasons of supernatural, it had become our weekend ritual with some food and either wine or a beer, however there are periods where he would disappear without any word of warning, he would come back with injuries that he should be in hospital with but just shrugs them off like they are nothing.

He has become over protective, coming to get me from work if im working late shifts and always making sure I never walk alone...ever. I had started taking walks in the morning, often venturing into that amazing forest outside my window but he has made sure I no longer enter there, even having it cornered off as private but i did some digging of my own and found it actually belonged to him. What could he be hiding so much that he needs to keep me from a forest he owns?

I only had a little over a month left until University started again, I know that I must stick it out till then otherwise i really have no chance at finding somewhere to live and as much as i love Lilly and Zoe, they are flatmates and there is only so much I can handle of girl time, I much prefer chillin' out with a book and a glass of wine then talking about clothes all night and what guys I may or may not like.

Currently, I'm just sitting on my balcony rocking out to some music in my own little world. I didn't have work today so I was going to make the most of it, go to the book store maybe go visit a lake and take a walk around it or something. Dean from work has already text me asking if i fancied a night out with the work lot tonight, including Julie our boss which should be an absolute laugh and I had no excuse to say no, so town was also on the agenda today, appropriate clubbing clothes are needed.

Meh, that actually means that moving is required. Effort. Sighing to myself, deciding that i might as well just get it over and done with, I head for my car keys not stopping for long, just long enough to grab a jacket and leave the apartment. I don't know if Thomas is in, but then again I didn't check and as I speed walk straight to my car, my instincts told me that his car wasn't there so I didn't bother even looking.

But is it wrong that I feel slightly alone? I ponder to myself as I drive away. I don't know what feels worse, being left by my family or feeling alone when someone I hardly know is keeping secrets.

THOMAS POV

Watching from the tree line, I watch as Joanna gets into her car with not even a glance behind. There is something about her I couldn't shake. I know she isn't mine, I just cant figure out who she does belong to. The need to be around her and protect her is strong but it could be anyone of my pack members,  after all I am the alpha and our connections are stronger then most.

The rogues that had been interested in her were long ago disposed off, we cant have them sniffing around something that is our but they were on no ones territory making it okay for them to do whatever they want. Many of the Alphas around here had noticed the increase of rogues, but these were your usual rogues, they were prepared when we went for them. Not that it mattered much, I was stronger.

Ever since that night where me and Joanna had spent the night watching supernatural, i had been trying to stay away. I know that even though she isn't mine, the pull will get stronger, it ill be trying to tell her not that she would understand what it is, as she is human, at the moment i doubt she even realises its there and that's how I want it to stay. Banning her from the forest is for her own good, I don't want her stumbling into any nasty wolves. They wouldn't care who she was, she wouldn't survive a run in with them.

I had people watching her so I didn't bother following so I turned around and headed back into the forest for a much needed run. I could feel my wolf stir at the idea. Getting far enough into the forest didn't take long, taking my clothes off so that they weren't ripped, after all I had to keep up appearances, Joanne had already seen more then I would liked, I had hoped that she had forgotten about the orange glow coming from the rogues eyes, and luckily she had.  

I allowed my beast to come forward, landing on four paws I take off in a run. Heading towards the stream close by, my wolf wanted to check himself out in the water whereas I just wanted a drink but then again he is a magnificent beast, not only were we huge, bigger then most wolves because we have generations of alpha blood running through our vein's  but we had beautiful markings, we had fur that had a mixture of different browns but our paws were pure white and we had a strip on our head also pure white, making us slightly unusual looking, but we loved it.

I notice my beta across the stream but something was wrong. He looked worried and he was in human form which when in the forest was unusual, he loved the feeling of freedom and the hunt. Reaching out to him through our pack bond "what is wrong"

His face dropped once he heard my voice in his head, he was looking around trying not to stare at me in the eyes too long. He reached up to scratch the back of his head "erm, well Alpha...just know its not my fault okay"  Hearing this my mind and wolf went into over drive, what if it was Joanne? I growled very low and slowly, telling him not to fuck with me and to hurry up and tell me.

I heard the simple words"Your brothers back"  in my head, thinking to myself that's not to bad, he isn't on my territory, I can deal with that but then my beta just had to go and ruin it. "that's not all, erm he is currently eating food in the pack house"  I froze, everybody knew that he wasn't allowed back near me, the pack house. It wasn't his. My wolf was going mental but I was trying to stay calm...which didn't last long as I found myself charging towards the pack house to rip my older brother to shreds for being in my pack house without warning or permission.

 We are a very strong pack, so the only reason he got through all my patrols is because he isn't a rogue and everybody know he is family, however that was a long time ago now that I could call him that.

...

I could feel all the wolves start to shiver and move away when the felt me enter the clearing in front of the pack house, being an alpha you can feel my power and range for miles especially when being this hyped up. I shift landing into a walk, not caring that I was completely naked, I slammed open the door, making my way to where I could feel my brother. which of course is still the kitchen. Everybody moved out my way as I entered the room, rushed over to my brother gripping him by his throat and slamming him into the wall, which conveniently was behind him

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I looked at him in the eyes, which were similar to mine except his are a lighter brown, not even waiting for an answer, I smashed his head into the wall, hard enough that now there is a massive hole, effectively knocking him out, He will heal but im sure he will get the warning.

"Someone put him in the cells and make it quick, I am already fed up of seeing his face" My temper was still high so I left to go work it off in the gym.

That had certainly ruined my day, rolling my eyes, I get to work blowing off some steam.
