Chapter 4: I Really Don't Want To Be Alpha!

"Sorry, um, I have to go, bye!"

"Wait, what's........."

Before I could finish asking what was going on, I was pinned against the wall. Julie was nowhere in sight, there was only one person in the hallway, but he was the person pinning me to the wall. His eyes were yellow and his face was red with anger. Shaun was really mad at me.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER, HOLLYWOOD BOY!"

As soon as he slammed me against the wall he let go of me and disappeared. What was up with Shaun? I really need to stop pissing him off today; otherwise I don't think I'll make it back home in one piece. After all he did have super strength and I did not, sadly. I just couldn't get a break today. To top the list off on this bad day, I had to eat dinner with the pack in less than an hour and then talk to my dad again.

 45 Minutes later after breaking yet another picture in my room

I took my seat on the right side of my father and across from my mother. She had a bright smile on her face. What the hell was she smiling about! Everyone took their seats (Minus Julie and Shaun, I hadn't seen either of them since the incident in the hallway) around the table but many looked uncomfortable with my presence. Honestly, once the food was brought out of the kitchen I knew I was screwed, hamburgers and hot dogs, of course this day could not get any worse. I'll just grab a burger and dig in no problem, oh wait, silly me, I forgot I'm a vegetarian. As in I don't eat meat, but of course all the food on the table had meat in it. Neither my parents nor my pack knew I was a vegetarian only Shaun and Julie knew. No one noticed my food choices because I rarely ever ate with the pack. Well unless they're fans of mine but I honestly doubt that. I know what you're thinking, but you're a werewolf, how can you be a vegetarian, in my defense though I didn't choice to be a vegetarian. It's just that makes me sick, I haven't eaten meat since I was five (well that was the last time I could eat it without puking.)

Tonight I had to stay on my father's good side, which meant he could not know that I was a vegetarian. I decided to eat the burger, but secretly I would take the patty out. I leaned over the table and grab a burger like everyone else. I went to put ketchup on the burger but secretly I'd take out the burger. I flipped the burger upside down, so it was now sitting on the top bun. I put the ketchup on the bread, while doing so I gently pushed the burger of the bun and plate by gently hitting it with my wrist.

"What are you doing?"

I jumped, startled from the voice next to me. I looked up to see my father and now the rest of the pack staring at me with curiosity.

"What are you doing?"

My father stared at me with a weird look on his face. I looked around and noticed the curious looking in my direction, great just what I wanted to make a scene.

"I um, well I'm putting ketchup on my burger."

"Then why are you scotching the patty off of the bread?"

Dang-it!

"Um, well I don't feel like eating it."

Wow, what happened to my great lying skills?

"Why not?"

Okay, so I'm definitely screwed!

"*breathes out deeply* Look, okay I'm a vegetarian."

While my parents' faces may have looked blank, their eyes were bulging out of their sockets.

"What?"

"Well, I'm a vegetarian and have been since I was five."

"What?"

"I'm someone who doesn't eat meat."

"How the hell are you a vegetarian when you're a werewolf?"

For some reason he was acting strangely calm in this situation. I think I like it better when he's yelling at me, otherwise he's just creepy.

"Well technically, I'm not a vegetarian by choice."

"Why the hell are you a vegetarian!?"

"Actually meat makes me sick."

"You're kidding me right? You've got to be kidding me!"

"So I'm like allergic or something to meat."

My father looked like he was about to blow, but then he said "I'm sure you've grown out of it by now. Why don't you try some? Seeing as your birthday is a week away, you wolf is probably going to allow you to eat meat."

Possessive much?

"Um, well I don't think that's such a good idea cause like I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and I still got sick from meat."

"That was then, this is now."

"Um, I don't think that's-"

"JUST EAT IT!"

With that he shoved the burger into my hands, waiting for me to bite down. I know I'm an idiot and I've done some pretty embarrassing things in my life, but I was not about to puke in front of the whole pack. It would be the most embarrassing thing I've done and like I said I do a lot of stupid things that blow up in my face.  But with everyone staring I felt like there was nothing else to do.

I lifted the burger to my mouth, just smelling the hot meat and fresh crisp lettuce made me sick. Opening my mouth I took a bite. Before I could even start chewing I shoot up firm my seat and ran to the bathroom.

 I DON'T THINK I NEED TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BATHROOM.

I was never going to live this down. As if on cue my father walked in.

"What has Hollywood done to you? You're the first werewolf in history to get sick of meat. Not just that but you don't know anything about how things run here. That's even more of a reason to come home. You've forgotten everything I have taught you! It is decided you will spend the night here and tomorrow I'm going to call Scott and-"

"WHAT? NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS! THIS IS MY LIFE NOT YOURS. YOUR AND IDIOT IF YOU THINK I'M STAYING HERE TO FOLLOW YOU. I WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO YOU AND I WILL NEVER BE ALPHA. I WILL NEVER BE WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE. JUST LET ME LIVE MY LIFE MY WAY!"

I ran out of there before he could even reply. I'm such a coward and I'm even more pathetic. I had just blown my last chance to leave this place for good. Jumping in my car I sped off without looking back. I needed to call Scott and figure out what to do. I needed to get away from here. 

WELL GUYS/GALS THIS IS CHAPTER 4. IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO WRITE, MOSTLY BECAUSE I GOT LAZY AND I WAS READING ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK SERIES. THE LAST BOOK IN THE SERIES CAME OUT A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND I'VE BEEN DYING TO READ IT AND NOW I HAVE. IT TOOK ME TWO DAY TO READ 500 PAGES. ANY WHO I HONESTLY THINK THIS IS A BAD CHAPTER. I'LL TRY TO MAKE THE NEXT BETTER. YA SO, THAT'S REALLY IT.
