The Love Of An Alpha

Chapter 5- Danger and Seduction

Zoey POV 

Today I started work at 'Love a coffee', I still lightly chuckle at the name each day I walking in under the big black and white sign that is placed on the front of the shop. I walked in after school and found Dean in the same place as yesterday, severing everyone. I smiled a little and shook my head at how poorly under staff he was and yet he didn't wish to change it. 

"Zoey, good you are here, get started with taking those orders to table 13, 7 and 8" He said throwing me a apron. I quickly picked up the orders and took my to their tables, I weaving my way though the tables and chairs. After that I went about cleaning and busing tables and mopping up the mess on the floor, severing customers and making coffee orders. This went on for the 5 hours that I worked until closing. I was helping do the washing up and pack up of the shop when Dean began to talk to me.

"So, you seem pretty capable." He said as I passed him another plate for him to dry.

"Yeah, I have worked at a place like this once or twice." I answered.f

"Are you new in town?" He continued.  I looked over at him with a weird look but answered anyway as it wasn't a rude question, I was just a very private person. 

"Yeah, I have been here for about 2 weeks now."

"Well, it's good, we need something fresh around here." Dean said before taking the plates that he had dried and started to put them away.

I left the café and started to walk across the street and down to the car park where my car is. I pulled my coat against my body tighter as the cold air hit my body, I got this feeling that someone was behind me, I slowly turned my head to find the street clear, I tried to shake it off and just kept walking, but I am pretty sure that some one is following me, I turned again and once again its empty. I started to walk faster to my car and quickly got in and locked to door. I let out a couple of shaky breaths before starting the engine and driving back to the Inn trying to shake the nerves that are throughout my body. 

Betty was there to greet me with Dinner when I got back, I was staving from working so hard. I quickly dug into the chicken, potatoes and vegies that she made. I couldn't help but appreciate Betty's beautiful food. 

"This is amazing." I said between mouth full.

"That's good" She smiled.  "How was work?" Betty asked.

"Yeah, it was alright, I did a lot of cleaning and stuff, but it pays pretty good which is what I need."

"A package came for you while you were out, I put it at your door." Betty said with a smile. I suddenly was confused, who would be sending me a package that knew where I was. 

"Thanks Betty, this was lovely, do you need any help cleaning up?" I asked suddenly curious about the content of the package. 

"No dear, you have worked hard enough for one night, you go and do some homework and I will clean up." She said kindly. I smiled gratefully at her kindness before excusing myself and walking from the room. 

Oh crap homework, I only have three weeks to do that English assessment with Ethan and I wasn't looking forward too it. There was something drawing me too him that I scared me, a part of him is so curious I wanted to know more.  The thoughts of Ethan that crossed my mind made me both angry but also excited, the plan to distance myself from him where possible was only made hard by the fact he was Angie's twin brother.  I walked up to my room and picked up the box that Betty placed there earlier, placing the box on my bed. It was rectangle and black with a pink ribbon around it and a card on top. Inside the card read, 'You would look truly beautiful in this, I hope to see you in it soon. Though  strangely the card was unsigned only aiding my confusion at the contents and the sender.  I opened the box and gasped, it was the black dress from last night. The one I saw in the store and was way to pricey for me. I lightly lifted it from the box and held it up to my figure in the mirror near the window. I smiled as I imagined myself in it, I would look beautiful. I placed it back in the box and put it in my cupboard, after getting the note out and smiling at it and placing it in my top draw. I then quickly went for a shower and started doing some homework. 

Ethan POV

I watched as my beautiful mate smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she held the dress I brought her. From my position across the road I could see perfectly into her window and at her beautiful face as it lit up at the sight of the dress. I know it must seem creepy, me standing out here in the dark watching a girl though her window, I just needed to see Zoey when she opened the box, I saw her at the shop last night and how she looked at the dress. So I went there today and brought it for her, with a little size help from my sister, they looked about the same so I went to her room and checked her size before going to get the dress. I watched as she placed the dress away and smiled at the note I put with it, I didn't want to sign my name to it because I didn't want her knowing I sent it, I couldn't have a human mate more so I couldn't have a mate with a last name Jackson. It isn't fair on my parents to just accept someone that could be related to that man who did all those things to my Mum.

"Ethan." Marcus said though the pack link. "We have a situation, where are you?" I sighed and quickly, looked at Zoey once more before getting in my car.

"I will be back soon, is my dad there?" I asked driving off.

"Yeah, he has called a meeting of the small council." Marcus said.

The small council was for officials of the pack and future officials, so my dad the Alpha, James my uncle the Beta and the third in command Mark's dad, Henry, as well as some other import people. The people who are going to take over their positions are also welcome to attend, that's why Mark, Marcus and I are allow to go, because one day I will be Alpha, Marcus will be Beta and Mark will be my third in command.

I arrived back home and walked though the door, Marcus was waiting for me when I got back.

"Where were you man?" He asked as we walked towards my dad's office.

"I was out." I said as we went though the doors and took our seats at the table in my fathers office.

My dad entered shortly after followed by my Mum seeing that she was the Luna.

"Thank you for coming in such short notice this wont take long, we have a situation." My father said sternly from his seat at the head of the table. "There are reports of rouges forming together and making a pack, theses rouges are taking over small town and killing any werewolves they find." There were angry mutters though out the small council at this information. Rouges don't follow anyone that's what makes them so dangerous, but if they banded together, all of them, there would be to many for any pack to take. 

"We have been asked to keep an eye out for any rouges in or around our pack and to capture and question any one who comes onto our land. Rounds will need to be more frequent and longer, so we will be figuring out a new rounds tomorrow and we will tell everyone at the pack meeting on Sunday. Please don't tell anyone outside of this council until Sunday when I have a chance to speak to everyone, and remember rouges like to take women and mates so please keep an eye on your families."

With that my father ended the meeting and we went out own ways.

"Do you believe this man? Rouges forming a pack, it isn't heard of." Mark said to me.

"Yeah, it they form a pack, they would be nearly unstoppable for just a pack alone." Marcus said.

"That's why we wouldn't take them alone, we would come together, all the packs and take them down." I said, I walked out and made my way to my room, I opened to door and stopped in my tracks. Rebecca was lying on my bed in nothing but a bra and panties awaiting me with a luring grin on her face. 

"Hey baby, I have been waiting for you." She said in a seductive voice.

"Not tonight, Rebecca." I said with a sighed not wanting to touch another women who wasn't Zoey. 

"Why not? I can help with some of the stress and frustration." She said getting up and crossing the room to me and unbuckled my pants. I sighed again before just giving in to her touch and trying to forget that I have a mate who is human and that I cant have her. I let Rebecca do what she does best, not that any of her friends now about what she and I do. That night with her I used to forget Zoey, the pack of rouges and pain in my heart.
