Spring, Texas

Chapter 1~Spring, Texas 

Max POV

I woke up in cold sweat. I was breathing heavy. I look around and took in my surroundings noticing I was in my room in there was no longer light outside. I looked down and noticed that my shirt was wet from sweat. I got out of bed and pulled my shirt off throwing it and the hamper with all the other dirty clothes of mine. I turn back to my bed and search of my phone. I moved my hands around until I felt a hard rectangular box. I picked up my phone and push the home button, it was now 6:06 in the morning.

I went to my closet and got some new boxers and some pants so that I can take a shower. I walk to my bathroom turning the shower on and then stripping my pants and boxers off. I jumped in the shower, letting the warm water cascade down my body, hoping that the water would wash away some of my worries. 

I quickly got out of the shower and grabbed the towel that was hanging in the rack and wrapped it around my waist. I went to the mirror and stared at myself, taking in my appearance I looked like I aged a few years, but in reality I'm only 17 years old. I took my toothbrush from its holder in squeezed the toothpaste on it. 

I finished brushing my teeth 3 minutes later. I then grabbed the axe gel from under my sink and rubbed some into my palms. I finished doing my hair and then exited the bathroom. I made my way to my dresser where my boxers were held. I dug around my drawer looking for my black boxer-briefs. I finally found it and slipped them on. 

I walked to my closet in search for today's outfit. I looked at all my shirts, since they were all dark colors with a few exceptions of some white shirts. I picked out a black shirt and some dark blue jeans. After I finish putting my clothes on I bend down to pick up my black vans. I left my closet to go back to my drawers so that I can get me some black ankle socks. I finished putting my shoes on, so I grabbed my phone and looked at the time and it read 6:36. I had some time, so I grabbed my blanket and folded it in half and laid it across my bed, I then fix my pillows. I finished making my bed so I headed downstairs, but not without grabbing my phone and keys. 

I headed downstairs in made my way into the kitchen, where I found my mom cooking at the stove. 

"Good morning, mom." 

"Good morning sweetie, I made some breakfast if you want some."

"Thank you, mom but I think I'll stick with some yogurt and a bottle of water."  I went to the refrigerator to get some yogurt and a bottle water. I then walked toward the drawer were we keep spoons, and grabbed me a plastic spoon.

"Oh, okay hunny, have a great day at school."

"I will mom, bye."

I left and headed for school, I was in my senior year attending Spring High School. I open the door to my 2007 Black Ford Mustang, and hopped in. I started my car up in headed towards school. It took me 10 minutes top to reach the school. I park my car in my spot in got out. The warning bell rung just as I was pulling up to school so I had only a few minutes to get my locker and then to my first period. 

I hurried inside the building taking my phone and keys out of my pocket in placed it into a bucket then walk through the metal detector. Once the two security guards were satisfied that I had no weapons, I rushed to my locker. I put my combination in the lock in got my notebook and my laptop out. I shut my locker and headed toward my first period which happens to be US History. I walked through the door just as soon as the final bell rang. All eyes turn toward me as I walked through the door. 

I hated when people look to see who is at the door, that just goes to show how nosy they really are. I walked to my seat that was at the back of the classroom. I place my laptop and notebook on top of my desk and took a seat. The teacher began to take roll, and soon after started class. I sat by the window, which I was thankful for. I stared out at the sky and watch the birds that were flying in the sky. 

"Mr. Williams, I'm sorry is my lesson on World War II boring you." Mr. Newton asked. 

I turned my gaze away from the window and turned it towards Mr. Newton, "Not at all Mr. Newton, I was just thinking of how the people from the Holocaust felt while staring out the window. I may not be looking at you, but I can guaranteed you that you have my undivided attention. I'm listening to you." I smiled at him I tilt my head to the side while I  said this. 

He looked at me like he didn't believe me, but if he thought it, he didn't question it. I turn back to the window, because it makes the time go by so much faster. Before I knew it the bell rung, signally us students to go to our next class. I stood up and took a much needed stretch. I  pick up my notebook and laptop and made my way to my second period. It went like that all the way until fourth period. The bell rung and now it was time for lunch. I made my way to the cafeteria. I push the doors open in was welcome by the smell of nachos. I love nacho Tuesday. I made my way to the line in grab me a basket of chips. I top my nachos with meat, cheese, lettuce, and salsa. I grab me a bottle of water in paid for my food and made my way to the table that my friends were already sitting at. I sat down and got a chorus of hi's from the group. 

I said hi back. On my left was Nate and his mate Julie. On my right was Austin and Liam. They were both mates too. It wasn't uncommon to find the same sex couple for a mate. Me personally I really didn't have a sexual preferences. I plan not to find my mate, because I don't believe in love, to me love is nothing but a silly fairytale. Love cause unthinkable pain in I'm not one for pain really. In front of me sat Xavier. He was quiet though he really didn't say much only on some occasions. His the type of person that likes to observe things from a far. They were all a part of my pack and  I was their alpha, but I never treated them like they have to tip toe around me, I rather they tell it straight to my face so that I won't find out later by someone else. I hated when people talk about other people behind their backs. I like to think if you're going to say it or think it, do it to their face. 

Everyone was talking when I felt somebody trying to get into my head, only then that I realized somebody was trying to talk to me through the link. I open my link when I heard the current alpha speak

"Yea, dad."

"Son, I need you to gather all the pack members that are at the school in meet back at the pack house, we have an emergency meeting."

"Right now?"

"YES, RIGHT NOW, IS THAT A PROBLEM FOR YOU, OR IS THAT TOO DIFFICULT TO HANDLE" he yelled at me. I kind of flinched at his voice being so loud. My wolf on the other hand was trying to take over and show my dad that he took no orders from no one.

I shook my head no, but realized that my dad couldn't see me so I quickly responded.

"No sir, right away."

With that I shut the link down and picked up my food from the table to throw it away. I then went back to the table to tell the group that there is an emergency meeting in that we need to go back to the pack house right now. There was a mixture of confusion and worry etched onto their faces. 

"Go now." I commanded, only on this situations that  I did let my alpha voice leak. They quickly pick their bags off the ground and hurried toward the door. I then stood on the table knowing that all the students in the whole school was in the cafeteria. There were humans that go to the school so I had to be careful, their weren't a lot of students in the school that was werewolf though, majority of the student body was human. I cleared my throat getting ready to yelled. 

"Quiet," my voice boomed off the cafeteria walls. Everyone quieted down to see who was making all that racket. My pack members giving me their full attention. 

"All the people who is in my gang, need to leave right now, there is an emergency meeting right now." Some of my pack members were still sitting a look of confusion coming across their face.

"MOVE NOW, " I screamed. That got all my pack members moving toward the door, once I seen they all exit the doors. I stepped down from where I was, and made my way toward the door.

You could hear the whispers starting to come out from the humans.

'Did you hear him say gang,' one said. Another one said, 'they're going to a fight,' and so on. It was quite annoying if you asked me. I made my way to the front doors, reaching in my pocket for my keys. I made it to my door wondering what my father had one to speak to the pack, that it couldn't wait until tonight. It was all I was thinking about on my way to the pack house.
