Of Alpha

5. During

"Okay, so tonight's entertainment is something special," my mom says as a man in a dark hood stands beside her. Once I realize I can't find his smell I come to the conclusion it's the warlock.

"Please welcome the Warlock David!" She adds while clapping her hands.

I look over at Reagan with a soft smile. Her eyes are filled with curiosity and surprise. She looks utterly beautiful in the outfit I picked out for her.

David let's the cape fall off his shoulders before taking a bow. I hear a low rumble of a growl in my fathers chest. My smile turns into a smirk as I remember the two don't get along.

"I am David, there is no need for people to call me a Warlock. I will need a volunteer, someone different among you," he says as he scans the crowd. He looks at Reagan before he smiles. "You. Beside Alpha Archer."

She frantically looks at me, but I only give her my best reassuring smile before nodding to the stage. Slowly, she get up from her seat and makes her way to the made up stage. David holds his hand out for her. "Your name?"

"Reagan," she mutters. The lights shine against her skin, magnifying the beauty.

"Your rank?"

"I'm of runt," She mutters almost breathlessly. I want to go up there and make sure she's alright but I hold myself back. I don't want to scare her away. David sighs.

"You've lost a lot haven't you? I can tell your eyes hold all the truth I need," he says. I see the hurt in her eyes.

"You've been heartbroken but you've healed. It's obvious, now you are having doubts about that loved one, perhaps finding out secrets he never mentioned to you?"

"Are we just here to state the obvious, everyone already knows this," She snaps at him. I let out a small laugh at her spunk. He smiles before scanning the crowd.

"Your mother is Jasmine isn't she?" He asks. She just slightly nod yes. His smile just widens as he looks back at her. He leans in so is mouth is by her ear. I lean forward a little. What is he doing? He whispers in her ear before pushing her off the stage.

She disappears making my heart sink. Where did she go? What did he do?

  I try to kind link her but it won't go through. Panic is finally setting in my bones and Bo, my wolf, starts to claw at the surface. He isn't happy.

  I feel a weight on my lap before she appears. I want to wrap my arms around her and never left go but a startled cry makes me freeze. She jumps off my lap as people cheer and clap.

   She sits back in her seat, and I look over her. Making sure she's We finish eating soon after. Jorge grabs her arms while dancing. "Let lose little girl," he says winking at her. A small pang of anger rolls through me as he pulls her out to the back yard. I go sit down but still watch them.

  Jorge pulls her hair down with a smile. "Come on Reagan, let lose," he whispers against her ear. That same angry rolls through me again making me bite my lip. What is he doing?

"You wouldn't want that Alpha, you couldn't handle me," I hear her say. I shake my head at her playful challenge. I could keep up.

"I enjoy a challenge Reagan."

"That was a statement sir," She adds while looking up in his eyes. He then smiles at her. I know that smile and it's one he only does when he finds someone who
interest him. She puts her arms around his neck as she skillfully moves her hips to the beat. His hands soon find their way to her waist. Why am I still watching them? It's like my eyes are glued to how her body moves. My small bit of anger is unjust to him. If he likes Reagan then there is nothing I can do.

She isn't mine and I wouldn't want her anyways. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Bo just keeps sending low growls of disapproval in my mind.

"Try to keep up Alpha," She smirks before picking up the new tempo. The utter joy in Jorge's eyes makes me uncomfortable.

If he does like her he will take her away from me. I mean my pack. She's a tracker I can't afford to lose. Bo keeps growling so I stand up and make my way to them. I walk up behind her. I place my hands on her hips  before whispering against her ear, "I'm faster."

"Are you getting antsy Archer?" Jorge asks before pulling her closer to him. That anger comes back through my entire being.

"I'm getting bored."

"Then let's go and have our own little party," Irvine says as he joins us. Jorge grabs her hand so I leads us away. Suddenly I see the spunky blonde bounce her way over to me.

"I demand to see Reagan!" She shouts. Stunned I just stare at her.

"I'm over here Shell," She say which makes her huff as she stomps to me.

"Weeks! It's been weeks!" Shell shouts.

"I'm under house arrest remember? I have to stay withen his eye rang. Apparently I'm unstable," Reagan says but whispers the last part.

"I heard you," I grumble. Does she really feel that way?

"That was intended Archer!" Reagan adds. Jorge keeps looking at Reagan. I don't even pay attention to the rest of their conversation.

Once we get back to my house Isabella turns on the radio. Reagan grab her hands and start to dance with her.

  I stand beside the guys as we watch them dance. "She's got some moves Archer," Jorge admits. I suppress the growl Bo tries to release. My beta gives me a cup that I slowly sip on.

Reagan suddenly bounces over to me, grabbing my up and drowning the whole thing. "Thanks," She says with a smirk.

"Is that payback for the Pepsi?" I joke. She grabs my hand while softly swaying her hips.

"Let's swim," she mutters pulling me after her. Once we slip outside she starts to take her clothes off. Slowly she walking into the pool. I strip into my boxer before I follow her.

"Reagan," I whisper as I walk over to her. She smiles at me before looking up at the moon. She's beautiful. The moon leaves a soft glow on her face.

Sooner then I thought I'm right infront of her. She reaches up and pulls my hair so I lower. I instinctively close my eyes before her lips meet mine. I feel a little electric spark before I pull her closer to me. It wasn't anger I was feeling, it was jealousy.

Too soon we are pushed apart. "You bastard! You know I love her!" I stumble back in surprise. I swear both of us stop breathing. "Is this your way of protecting her?"

"Wen?"
