The Alpha

14

I dragged my bag out of my car. I didn't really bring my party gear, but leggings and a knit black sweater with glitter, would suffice. I wouldn't need shoes.

Danny didn't really talk after my panic attack, but I could feel that he was upset. Not upset like he was worried about me. But he was upset.

I went back up to Danny's room, he wasn't in there, so I just stripped down and changed.

I felt Danny near so I went looking for him.

I had to go all the way down stairs and he still was no where to be found. Then I realized the there was 3 floors and a basement and attic. But he was closer than the top floors. So I finally found the door to the basement.

Has I walked down the stairs the the basement I knew Danny was in here, the bond was practically singing.

I saw Danny sitting on a sofa holding a picture. There were boxes everywhere, only one of them open.

I went to sit beside Danny. The picture was of the former Alpha and Danny in his uniform.

I understood.

I looked at him, "I'm sorry. I didn't understand."

He looked at me after several long moments and said, "It was my fault. I didn't know that would happen. but that feeling that my Wolf was giving me reminded me of that. The need to get to that little girl."

"I meant about your father. But in my very poor and horrible defense, I haven't had a father since I was 12."

"Well, it's a little bit of both. I'm the Alpha, and I never wanted to be. My mate hates being a werewolf. And she never wanted to be a Luna." He sighed. Then he looked at me and said, "What happened to your parents?"

I looked at him. "My dad was hit by a car while crossing the road. And my mother morned herself to death. At least thats what I've always said, because she didn't really die of anything. It was four years after my dad had died, I think the only reason she lasted that long was because of me and my sister. But yeah, I came home one day and my grandmother was waiting for me. She wouldn't tell me until Astra got home from work." Danny was still holding the picture of him and his dad.

I reached over and gently pulled it out of his hands. He looked up at me, giving me access to his lips. He didn't protest, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his lap. He kissed my Mark, sending me into a fit. It wasn't fair that he could do this to me and I couldn't do it to him.
