Underestimated Alpha

Chapter Twenty Four- And The Flames Come Out

I woke up on top of Calu. His right hand laid on the back of my neck, and the other was on my thigh, almost on my butt. My head was in the crook of his neck. I could see my mark on him. It was a black wolf and white wolf inside a cresent moon. The white wolf was sheltering and protecting the black one. I sighed and fell back asleep.

Ashlyn was curled into my body. I felt her go back to sleep then I looked at her neck. A white wolf with a black cresent moon was sheltering a smaller black wolf that looked like Ashlyn's. That mark is beautiful. My mark on Ashlyn is beautiful. Ashlyn is beautiful.

When I woke up for real, I saw Calu trying to sneak out of my grip. I purposely stretched my arms up by his face and curled my fingers into his hair. I heard Calu sigh then groan. He tried to uncurl my fingers but I tightened my fists.

He tried rubbing my upper back to get me to let go. I began squishing his cheeks making him to fishy lips.

"You're awake, aren't you?" Calu asked. I nodded while giggling. I sat up and accidentally rolled off the bed and landed with and 'oomph.'

"Aw why do I have to be clumsy?" I asked with my face still pressed into the hardwood. "And the floors cold." I pouted.

"Well maybe we should invest in some nice warm fluffy carpet." Calu suggested. I nodded and he pulled me up. He gestured for me to shower first.

"It's a good thing you offered because I wasn't going to shower in the women's bathroom." Calu laughed. I shuffled into the bathroom.

I was forced to use Calu's soap (not that I'm complaining, wink, wink, nudge, nudge). If I wanted my pomegranate strawberry body wash, shampoo, conditioner and shaving cream, I would have to call Calu in. I was NOT doing that.

•

When I got out of the shower I checked to see if Calu was in the room. He had a habit of sneaking up on me. I tiptoed across the room to my box labelled 'clothes'.

I pulled out my black 'Divergent' shirt. I picked out my jean shorts. I checked the room again. No Calu.

I put my panties and bra on and then the door swung open. Calu, David, Ryder, someone who I think was Calu's third and the warrior I fought walked in. Their eyes went wide when I screamed.

I dropped and rolled under the bed as I heard Calu growl. Damn that growls sexy. He growled again and peeked under the bed smirking. I rolled under the bed until I was against the wall.

"OUT!!!" Calu yelled in an Alpha tone. I shivered. Calu slid under the bed just before the door shut. "I thought you were bold." He joked.

"I am when I'm not in my underpants in front of five men! One of whom are my Mate's dad." I whined. Calu snickered. I pushed him lightly. "Let me out you big bad wolf." I giggled.

"The big bad wolf loved to terrorize little girls." Calu teased me once I was out from under the bed. I pulled my shorts on. I was bending over to pick up my shirt when I was tackled. I squealed.

Calu turned so I landed on him not the floor. He flipped so he was on top, then started to tickle me. "Ohmigosh!" I yelled. "St-st-st-o-sto-Stop!" I wiggled around. I managed to free myself and then shot to where my shirt was.

I tore out of the room laughing. I heard Calu behind me. My giggles were starting to affect my running. I needed to hide.

•

I ran and ran and ran. Pack members cheered when they saw me laughing and running. They laughed when they saw their ever strong Alpha chasing me and playing around. I wonder why?

I saw the exit to outside and started to pick up my pace. I ran through the training area which was filled with sweaty warriors. I had to leap over a few of them. Others I had to duck or slide under.

I heard Calu muttering apologies every time he bumped into someone. I snickered and ran faster, knowing Calu loves the chase.

•

I ran into a clearing.

There was a nasty smell. Blood, decay and... sulfur? Oh no! I heard growls, but they weren't werewolves.

"Calu!" I screamed. "Calu! Help!" I instantly felt him hear my pleas for help. He bowled through his warriors telling them to follow.

The dead leaves started crunching. I screamed, knowing my death was approaching. Calu picked up his pace.

I thrust my hand out, lighting up the forest. Vampires! I knew it. 'Calu stop! Don't come!' I plead. I felt him stumble.

"Oh leettle vone. I see you 'ave 'eard of us?" I nodded my head, tucking my chin into my chest, hiding my neck.

The vampire cleared his throat. "My accent from the old country gets in the way." I trembled. "It's such a shame you don't have any fire, isn't it?" he asked me.

"Who says I don't?" I said. I felt Calu behind me. 'Don't get scared.' I said to the pack. I opened my palm and lit a flame. It danced across my fingers. The vampires gasped.

"Impossible, you're a wolf." the leader said.

"I never said I wasn't." I smirked. I flicked a flame at the leader.

It landed on his chest, right above his heart. He touched it trying to put it out, but it caught his hand on fire. He rolled onto the ground trying to extinguish the flame.

I snickered. "Enchanted flame. You're dead already, just die again." The vampire screamed, his hoard ran away and abandoned him while Calu ran out of the forest and picked me up.

I kissed his face and we were covered in flame. I giggled as Calu freaked out. Soon he realized that he wasn't harmed. I looked to the sky and coaxed rain out of the clouds. It fell gracefully, extinguishing our flame.

•

The pack surrounded us on the walk back. I was exhausted. Calu Shifted and told me to get on his back. I crawled on, well actually I had to jump on even though he crouched down. I fell asleep on his back.

The last thing I remember was getting licked by Calu and hearing a voice. It sounded like my mother. I smiled as it said 'That's my girl.' I fell asleep peacefully.
