Stop and Stare

Chapter 5

As I stare at the three greek gods in front of me from behind my best friends back, I can't help feeling like I'm missing something. Now don't get me wrong other people would have been freaked out by what Cilla said early, with the whole your ruin her friasco, but sadly not me. You see I have become acustomed to my Bff and her way if dealing with problems. She tends to become a little overly dramatic and starts to babble and make absolutely no sense. But what has me slightly confused and worried is Max... The way he is staring at me its like he's seeing the sun for the first time. "Ummm are you okay there Max"
Every pair of eyes snapped toward me and stared at me as if I had just grown a huge zit for a third eye. Cilla turned to me and crushed me into this massive bone crunching bear hug...like seriously this girl seemed to have grown some freaky superhuman strength.
Sobbing she told me "I'm sooo sorry Fe I thought this would never happen, I tried so hard for you to never know I promise you it was never fake I truly love you and I am the person you know."
I just stared at her dumbfounded by her touching yet disturbing confession. I was confused about what was going on to many words have been exchanged, silent conversations, and weird looks which none of them lead or tie up together.
"Cilla what's going on I don't understand...your really confusing me right now chica, just tell me whats happening. What is it that these three guys did that has you sooooooo bent out of shape?"
She didn't answer me right away, instead she turned her guilty eyes from me and glared at Max and relplied with a voice so cold and sinster that it brought chills to my spine.
"Why don't you tell her, it seems you've already made up your mind might as well introduce yourself Alpha."
Alpha... as in werewolves...?
Okay I've read enough books and seen enough movies to understand what she was saying.But what I couldn't understand is if my best friend had just lost her ever loving mind. She does realize that we live in reality and not in some script of TEEN WOLF right?
Deciding that I was tired of all this ring a round the rosie bullshit I turned to the god like man before me and addressed him hoping for some clarification.
"Okay can you please explain to me what the hell is going on? First off why are you staring at me like that do you have a problem, and second why did Cilla just call you Alpha? Do you guys know each other and those are just nicknames y'all gave each other,you know for fun.?"
Max just kept staring at me with those deep soul peircing eyes, it was like he was devouring me from my very core , like he can just reach out and touch it and I would crumble to his will. Instead I received answers from the brunettes that Pricilla was choking not so long ago.
"Hi my name is Ryder Cole and this is my twin brother Aiden", as he gestured to the other brunette which I had slugged with my bag earlier. " And this guy is our older brother Hunter...Where close old friends with Fay here. She was just shocked to see me this morning since she hasnt seen us in years."
For some reason I knew there was something more meaningful with the way Ryder kept empathizing words and shooting Cilla these smug looks everytime he did. It also could have been everytime he did I can see Cilla's fist cleanch tighter everytime he did speak.
"Fay?" I repeatted "Her name isn't Fay, where did you get that."
"It's my middle name Fe, it was my Grandmothers name and my mom named me after her, but when we moved here, my Dad had them switched thinking I would be safe and no one would realize."
"What do you mean by no one would realize Cilla, I don't understand can you please just get to the point I'm getting a little pissed over here."
"I am quite sorry my volída"...
Ohh his voice....the way it pierced right through me...it was so gentle yet rough, loud but soft...it was the most beautiful sound that I have ever heard. It had me captivated yet he only said six little words and I'm behaving like a school girl.
I turned my body to face Max I mean Hunter to see what else he had to say.
" We are quite sorry for the misunderstanding today my volída...however what my brother says is quite true.We are old friends of Fay here and she was quite taken by suprise to see us. She got alittle out of hand with my brother Ryder here, you see they have a rough past since we were children always at each others throats. Quite literally to if you get my drift".
I couldn't seem to focus to what he was saying every word he spoke I felt more drawn to him like I just wanted to sink my teeth into him and just never let go...wait a minute when did I get so wanna be werewolf over here. GOD I have got to get a grip of myself focus Fe you can do this.
I cleared my throat and adressed him back with as much confidence I could muster with being around his presence.
" I didn't know Cilla had any old childhood friends... I'm sorry about any offense made to you or your brothers I was just defending my best friend and didn't stop to ask questions.But you still haven't answeres my questions. Why did she call you Alpha, and why are you staring at me like that?
The look on his face was one filled with so much pain,guilt, and confusion that before I knew what was happening my body had moved itself to stand right before him. Alittle voice in the back of my head kept nudging me to touvh him. That skin contact would help ease some of the discomfort. Without an control of my actions my hand raised to rub his cheek to help sooth his pain stricked face. As soon as I made contact with his skin my hand burned with heat, I withdrew quickly to avoid anymore damage to my hand. I stared into Hunter's face and asked
"Now seriously what the hell is going on here!"
