Untamed (Editing)

Chapter Eight

After lunch Mason, Amelia, Blake, Becca, Annabelle and Quentin went off and disappeared somewhere into this huge house. There goes it being just for the blood related family members. Something was clearly up. Tegan and Cole didn't seem to be bothered as all three of us went up the stairs to hang out in their room. My mom went to check into the infirmary to help the other pack Druid. She decided that she wanted to help Mason's pack by being the second pack Druid to help those in need. Just like she was in my father's pack. It was like seeing her go back to work. I could tell she felt at home again.

Cole and Tegan and I were all sitting on the couch that was in their room watching tv. We watched whatever was the first thing that came on. Which was "Avatar the Last Airbender." Surprisingly, it was Cole's and Tegan's favorite cartoon show. Low key it was also mine too when i was growing up. We sat there watching before any one of us talked.

"That was an awkward lunch." Tegan said as her eyes were still glued onto the tv.

"Yeah. I wonder what they're talking about right now." Cole added as he glanced over at me.

I shook my head and shrugged, "We shouldn't worry about it. It's none of our business."

"Why not?' Tegan whispered.

"Because this isn't our pack." I said a little too harshly earning a whimper from Tegan. I didnt mean it to come out like that or sounding too harsh. I could basically see her tail tucking between her legs as she backed off. I sighed, "I didn't mean it to come out that way. I'm just saying, we aren't apart of the pack. They took us in but..thats it. We aren't pack members, Otherwise they wouldn't mind talking about whatever is going on in front of us. Better yet, they'd invite us into the conversation."

"But do you think we will be?" Cole asked as he looked at me. "Be apart of this pack?"

I frowned at him and shrugged, "I don't know."

That was my honest answer. Because i didn't know. And i didnt know how I felt about even being able to join this pack. Will I want to if the opportunity struck? Apart of me still wants my human life. College, Medical school, all of it. And I could still have all of it if I just learned how to control my wolf side. Which is what I'm getting better at. But could I leave Tegan and Cole here? Would they even stay here if I left?

Some part of me says no. But how will they adjust to a different life? They turned at a young age. They've never experienced life after the foster system. What will they do? Will it even be good for them to be away from this life?

I narrowed my eyes at my thoughts. Could I stay? Honestly the thought of staying didnt suck either. I'd be with my mom and the brother I just met. Quentin could tell me about our dad, somebody I have felt missing all my life. But what if Mason wouldn't let me stay because I was an alpha? I wouldn't think he would actually do that, but there's always a possibility. Blake is his own blood, but would I have to fight Mason? Like Quentin said, there is only one alpha that could lead the pack. I could give up the title...but would I be seen as weak or become a target to other wolves?

I was so in my head about all of it that I didn't even notice Blake leaning against the doorway watching what was on the tv with us. "Avatar The Last Airbender? Sweet I used to love this show."

"I think everyone did." Tegan giggled.

I looked over at Blake as he glanced over at me nudging me to follow him. "You ready for more training, Maya?" Blake said with a serious expression on his face.

Cole and Tegan looked at me confused but I ignored them and got up. "Yeah."

Blake nodded, "Uh, Tegan and Cole, Quentin and Annabelle want you two to meet them on the west side of the territory."
