10 Years... (boyxboy)

Chapter 3

Jason POV

"Y-yeah. Sure." I stammer out as Caleb stares at me. I pull him down the hallways to my family's quarters and open my door, meaning to show him where to find me but.. I realize, once the room is on display, that I didn't clean. My clothes from last night are littering the floor, among other things, like books. I'm sure I turn bright red as I say "I knew I forgot to do something."

He starts laughing, the skin around his beautiful - no, guys aren't beautiful; you don't like guys - eyes crinkling. I start laughing as well, it's honestly pretty amusing.

"So, uh, you can have this room for however long you're gonna be here." I say, opening the door to my parents' room. He seems to approve because he starts a conversation.

"Please don't fuck anyone while I'm here." He tells me, serious. Fuck. He must've seen that blonde bimbo walking out..

"Don't really have any interest in fucking anyone," I reply.

"Why not?" He asks me, seeming genuinely interested.

"Don't like it."

"Then why do you do it?" He presses.

All I do is shrug, and grab a sweatshirt from my room. As if someone's summoned him, Oli comes running and panting.

"I -pant- forgot -pant- about the -pant- rally," Oli breathes, his dark hands on his blue-jean covered knees.

"Lucky for you, I didn't." I laugh, walking out of the house that doesn't feel like a home.

I walk to the hall that's only used for these pack gatherings, Oli and Caleb on my heels.

We're the last ones to enter, and the entire pack - hundreds - stares at us.

"Sorry we're late," I laugh, heading to the slightly elevated circle in the middle. "We just had some business to deal with." An uneasy chuckle travels around the room.

"Well, as you can guess, we renewed the treaty. We didn't change anything, although I would like to encourage you to do something new. I want our packs to intermingle. I want some of you to go to the New Moon pack and get to know them."

As expected, there was a roar of outrage. I thought I saw Oli flinch a little, but that's probably my imagination.

"Be quiet!" I yell. "I'm your alpha, if you disagree with me, you may challenge me." That makes everyone grow quiet, and they all seem satisfied. That is, except for one giant man. He looks like a viking god, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and tan skin.

"I challenge you." He says, stance confident.

"Fine. Make room." I tell everyone as the man shifts into his blonde, average sized wolf. Growling, I change into my dark brown wolf who's a good head taller than the other guys.

I hear the blonde wolf make a barley audible whimper before I attack, showing no mercy. This is my pack. I'm protecting my mate. Wait, what?

My moment of confusion allows the other bloody wolf to attack, and he gets closer than I'd like, although he doesn't draw any blood. I swipe at his ribcage, drawing enough blood for him to change back into his human form. His chest and face is bloody as he cowers at my now-human feet. Everyone adverts their eyes as he's demoted to pack omega.

"Go help in the kitchen," I order, and since he's now an omega, he has no choice to obey. He stumbles out of the hall. Glaring at everyone else, making sure my authority is known, I snarl "Anyone else?"

The hall is quiet, aside from my ragged, angry breathing.

"Leave." Everyone does as I say - except for Oli and Caleb - and leaves.

I turn to Caleb and push him, feeling a pang in my chest as my wolf objects.

Don't hurt your mate, my wolf tells me. I ignore him and yell at Caleb "Why the fuck are you toying with me? Is that the only reason you're here? To screw me over? I can't believe I was stupid enough to begin to trust you!"

Ignoring the hurt look on Caleb's face, I shift and run into the woods.

Authors Note: heyyy.. sorry about my lack of updating. I promise I haven't been slacking though, I've actually been working on my next two stories. I have the first chapter for one, and the first part of each chapter for the other. This is also very short, but the reason for that is so that I can even out both point of view. So, each chapter half is a retelling and half is new. This is chapter 3, and I think I'll have this set for Tuesday's, so in two weeks you'll get my new gay murder story. Yayy..

Thanks for reading! Eva
