The Lone Wolf

Chapter Five: The Drama and the Were-Vow.

Standing in front of the kitchen, where the whole pack is gathered, I take a deep breath.

It'll be fine. Justin thinks to me. I look at our interwined hands and smile. He's the one I've never been able to get over, the one I've loved. Knowing he's there for me makes me walk into the kitchen, beaming.

"Back together, I see." Mom smiles, seeing our interwined hands. Her smile turns to a frown and Dani squeals in excitement as my Engagement Ring flashes in the lighting.

"Lillith!" She exclaims.

"Yeah?" I say, my excitement dimming as her reaction shocks me. She yanks me away from Justin and into the hall.

"You're engaged! You're moving too fast!"

"He's my Mate! I'm pretty sure you and dad got married within a week of finding each other! It's not like I just met him, either!" I am suddenly defensive.

"Shut up!" She replies.

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"I said no. You expect me to do everything perfectly, you seem to forget that I am not perfect, to anyone except Justin! You wont change my decision!"

"You are my daughter and you will listen to me. Or you'll get out!"

"You're right, I am your daughter. But dad is the true Alpha of the pack. Only he can kick me out."

"I know you didn't just go there."

"I did."

"Why is it you suddenly have balls, hmm?"

"I'm sick of having to be what you're not, Mother!" She steps back. I know I went too far.

"You ungrateful little who-"

"I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you, Miranda." Justin says, walking to my side.

"Why not?"

"Lillith and I are rightfully the Alphas now. She found her mate. She has the right to banish you." Mom turns white.

I wouldn't do that to her, Justin.

Then you'd be considered a bad alpha.

I don't want to be Alpha! I want to be normal!

"You may be mine by blood, Lillith, but I will never listen to you or  love you.." she says, storming off.

"Lillith?" Dani says, cautiously, walking up to me as a wolf.

"What?"

"Come on." I morph and walk beside her. "Not you, Justin. She needs time with me." Justin stands behind us, helpless. I burst into tears as we walk. We head to Dani's room, it looks like mine but is light pink.

Justin's P.O.V

Her mom had no right treating her that way! We all know that they were engaged the day they found each other! I've loved Lillith since we were kids! Gah! I rub my hand on the back of my neck and sigh. I've been waiting for permission to visit Lillith for over four hours.

"Justin, the Alpha is here to see you." My mom says, slowling walking into my room. I turn away from the beautiful scene from my balcony and sigh again. I nod and start walking to the Alpha's room.

"Hello." he says, from behind me. I jump and prepare to fight. I calm down, seeing her father.

"James." I say, bending my head down.
