6. Mombie Dearest

I walk in mine and Hopes dorm room shutting the door behind me. "Hope?" I ask "Lia? What's wrong?" Hope asked getting up from where she was looking out the window. "I fucked up. Like royally fucked up. I don't think I've ever fucked up more in my life until now except maybe when I killed Nate but that's a different situation." I say and Hope grabbed my arms making me stop pacing and face her. "What happened? What did you do? Who did you kill?" Hope asked "What? No, I didn't kill anyone." I say "Then what happened? How did you fuck up after you and Raf left the meeting room?" I move my hair a little out of nervousness forgetting about the marks that hadn't fully healed yet. "Khalia, you didn't." Hope said "Oh I did. That's what I fucked up about." I say "When did you two see each other? Because you seemed pretty pissed off when you left." Hope said "I went to the gym and was taking my anger out on the bags like Uncle Kol taught me to do and I got more pissed off and more upset so I ended up putting a hole through the bag and just sat there and he ended up coming in there to cool off himself. And one thing led to another and I fucked up. I have to see him because I volunteered the wolves to help set up for the twins birthday dance tonight. And now I have to tell Lizzie but after what happened with the honor council, I don't know if I want to tell Lizzie right now. Plus it's the twins birthday and I don't want to ruin their birthday." I say "Then tell her tomorrow. You can at least wait a day to tell her about you and Rafael sleeping together. But you need to calm down and get collected because Dr. Saltzman wants to see you in his office and he said to bring your drawing stuff. So I would cover up anything visible and go see what he wants." Hope said and I take a deep breath. "You're right. Thanks Sis." I say "Always. Now, go talk to Dr. Saltzman before he sends someone after you." Hope said "Yeah you're right." I say "Like always." Hope said

-time skip-

I walk to Dr. S' office door and knock. "Hang on Caroline, someone's at the door. Come in!" Dr. S said and I walk in shutting the door behind me. "You wanted to see me? And told me to bring my drawing stuff?" I ask "Oh right, of course. The dryad drew a symbol and I managed to get a picture of it which I sent to your phone. I would like you to draw that for me please?" Dr. S asked "Yeah sure. Cool if I do it in here?" I ask "Caroline I need to talk to Khalia for a few minutes before we finish our conversation but you can stay on the line." He turns to me. "I was going to tell you that you could do it in here because we need to talk now that you are alpha." Dr. S said "Of course and what about?" I ask

"With you being Alpha, you are required to appoint a beta. I would like to know who to expect when you announce it." Dr. S said "Of course. I remember that from when Nate was Alpha and he appointed Jed as his beta." I say "Right and with you defeating Jed, you can appoint a beta. Have you given any thought to that?" I nod. "Great, who would that be?" Dr. S asked "Jed." I say instantly and he looks at me shocked. "What? That doesn't make sense. Why would you want him to become your beta?" Dr. S asked "Because he and I work very well together and get along. I wouldn't want anyone else to be my beta." I say "Alright. Once we find him you can tell him the news. But for now let's focus on the problem at hand." Dr. S said "Of course." I say and he turns back to his phone.
