The Alpha's Son

Chapter 2

We walked in and the smell of wet dog was prominent.

“Smell that?” I asked Ollie grabbing a buggy.

“it smells like wet dog” he said crinkling his nose.

“That babe is the smell of werewolves” I told him laughing, I knew everyone in the store could hear us, and there were no humans present. We went down the first isle. He usually put a bunch of stuff in and I just followed listening to him talk.

“How was school?” I asked him.

“Good” he replied grabbing two loaves of bread.

“Did you make any friends?” I asked him aware of the two men on this isle listening, in fact everyone from 4 miles away was listening. I recognized some scent as people from my school. Shit.

“No, but I got into a fight” he told me.

“Did you win?” I asked him.

“Yes” he answered grinning at me grabbing two tubs of Nutella and peanut butter.

“Why were you fighting?” I asked him.

“He was being mean to Chris” he told me.

“Chris is?” I asked.

“my new friend” he told me.

“let me see you hand” I told him, he held his hand out, his thumb was bruised, he had probably fractured it.

“Look” I said crouching down to his level.

“When you punch someone, with a clenched fist, don’t tuck you thumb in” I told him, flicking his thumb, he pulled it back saying ow.

“Chris’s friends think your pretty” he told me, I snorted.

“That’s promising, 8 year olds find me attractive” I said, he laughed putting a few dozen cans of ravioli and soup in the buggy.

“Deidre” he said while putting 3 boxes of ramen noodles in the buggy.

“Yeah” I answered grabbing some cereal.

“Are girls always so bitchy?” he asked me, I was surprised at first and then I laughed.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“Are they always such cunts?” he asked me.

“Yeah, unfortunately most of them are” I told him still laughing he cracked a smile as we turned on the snack isle.

“So besides realizing girls are cunts and getting into a fight did you do anything positive today?” I asked him helping him grabbing mega stuffed and original Oreos. Ollie liked mega stuff I liked original.

“Well” he thought for a minute grabbing some other snacks like donuts and stuff.

“How was your day?” he asked me.

“Shitty” I replied, he laughed as we turned on the candy isle.

“Oh Deidre look candy” he said his eyes lighting up. Why is he so cute?

“4 bags” I told him, he eagerly looked around picking up 5.

“I said 4” I told him.

“But-“

“4” I told him firmly, he put one back still smiling. I tuned into one lady’s thoughts, she thought I was a horrible parent for letting him get what he wants and for his obscene language.

“I want a dog” he told me as we got to the frozen food isle. I grabbed a few pizzas as he got a few bags of pizza rolls.

“Just get one of your werewolf friends to follow you around” I told him grabbed a tub of ice cream, and some popsicles.
