Wolfblood

9. Play by the rules

'Let's do a little game, shall we?' He said.
'Sure, what game?' I replied
'You can ask me 20 questions, but I can ask you 20 questions as well.'
'Sure, I have nothing to hide.' I said
'Yeah, we'll see about that' he said and it became quiet for a while.
'So, what do you wanna know?' He continued talking and looked at the water again.
'You saved me, true or false?' I began.
'True' he said.
'So, you're a we....' but I got interrupted. 'No, it's my turn now princess.' Thomas said
'Fine, but don't call me princess.'
'Are you?' He asked
'Am I what?' I replied
'You know what I mean.' He looked at me again with a smirk on his face and it really made me feel uncomfortable.
'No, afcourse I'm not a werewolf.'
'Okay, your turn.' And he looked away
'Are you a werewolf?' I asked
'Yes, I am.' He said
'Was your father a werewolf?' He said
'God, no! Otherwise I would knew that!' I replied on a fierce tone.
'Have you ever killed someone?' He asked. And now it remained quiet for a while. I just couldn't say yes, he wouldn't understand it.
'That are 2 questions. I know you're an alpha, but you have to play by the rules Thomas.' I answered, hoping he would forget that I didn't answered his question.
'Fine, I'm sorry you can ask 2 if you want.' He replied
'How do you become an alpha?'
He caughed: 'Well, there are 2 ways, you can kill an alpha from another pack or you become one by right. That means that you become an alpha after your father dies, but than he must be an alpha too otherwise it doesn't work.'
'How did you become one?' I asked
'My father was an alpha, after he died I became the new alpha.'
'Do you like being an alpha?' I asked
Thomas looked at me with a serious look in his face. 'You know, you're the first person, who asked me this question.'
'Really?' I was confused, why is he so serious about being an alpha and all?
He coughed again: 'My turn.'
'Have you ever killed someone?'
There was that question again, but I had to be honest. I think he knows when I'm lying to him.
'Yes, I did.' I said
He looked at me and he was definitely shocked by my answer. He definitely didn't expected this answer.
'Who was it?' He asked on a sad tone almost like he knew where I was going threw...
'My mother, she was dying and I helped her to get a quick and peacefull death.' I said and a tear slipped down my cheek.
Thomas came closer and wiped the tear from my cheek. I looked at him and I saw that he was smiling and comforting me. It worked he really did comfort me.
'Don't worry, everything will be okay you're safe now.' He whispered
'You were really brave by doing that. It was for the best and you gave her something she could only wish for. Don't blame yourself for doing that.'
What sweet and kind words for a guy I only just met.
