Serpent Wolves (Sequel to The Serpent wolf)

7.

"What the fuck just shot you in the fucking woods?!" Betty yells, pacing around the room. Jug sits on the couch and I lean against the dining room table.

"Exactly what I hoped it wasn't." I sigh.

"What are you talking about?" Jug asks.

"... Your date night. I went for a run and found a high-tech werewolf trap in the woods. I was hoping it was old or from when Jarred was alive, but tonight confirmed what it was. Hunters." I say.

"Hunters?" Betty asks.

"Werewolf hunters. Used to think it was just a family called the Argents, but as I've learnt, there's many hunters. Most hunting groups died out because of loyalties and deals being made. But there's still some who hate werewolves and swear to kill them all." I say, Jug's eyes widen, and he jumps up from the couch.

"And you didn't think to FUCKING TELL ME?!" Jughead yells at me, I've never seen him so angry at me, ever.

"I didn't wanna say anything until I was sure, I knew you were stressed and concerned about the full moon-"

"Logan, you are my second in command, I am your leader! You can't just not tell me things!' Jughead yells.

"Oh, I'm sorry?! I might be your second in command in the serpents but join the real world for a second. I am your Alpha! I felt it was right not to tell you until I was sure so that's what I did. Tell me if this were a serpent matter you wouldn't do the same?!" I yell back.

"You can't just not tell me things like that Logan! It's not very right-hand man or best friend of you." He says, he's aggressive, but not yelling.

"Well it was very Alpha of me, Jughead. I do what I need to protect you!" I shout.

"Protect me? HA! Protect me!? Yeah like you've been protecting me the last few months when I've had to lift you out of bed to get you to help me not kill everyone?! Like you've been protecting me by not coming out of your room for 3 months?! Yeah some fucking Alpha." Jughead says.

"Jughead!" Betty gasps. My face falls, my anger gone and my heart breaks. I want to punch him directly in his stupid face, but instead I fight tears.

"I can't believe you just said that." I say.

"Logan-"

"Fuck you, Jughead." I say. I run out the front door in tears, it's just starting to rain, but it's not dramatic, yet.

I know I haven't been the perfect Alpha, I know I haven't been a perfect friend. But the past 3 months have been so hard. Jughead's my best friend, he's meant to be the one person I can expect not to throw things in my face but here I am, sobbing in the street running from my house at 1am. Even the only person I wanna see right now lied to me, so I don't even know where I'm going. I dial Sweet-Pea's number.

"Why did you lie to me?" I say.

"I didn't lie to you?" He answers.

"Yes, you did! About when you stopped fucking Josie! Betty told me!" I say through my tears.

"Logan are you crying? Please don't tell me it's because of me." He says.

"N- No it's not because of you, can't say lying to me helps though." I sob.

"I didn't li-"

"Stop Sweet-Pea! I don't want to do this if you're not gonna be honest with me!" I yell.

"You really wanna fucking know, Logan?! Everyone thinks Josie ended things with me, and I know she was going to, she planned on it the whole time, but I broke things off with her!" He says.
