Little Alpha (Book 1)

Chapter 17

I didn't regret my words, I meant them and she didn't exactly fight me about it.  I pursed my lips.  "But it's still her choice."  My wolf disagreed.  "It is even if we don't like it, she has to choose us in the end."  He growled at the thought that she would even consider it.

I stopped in the street.  "I should take it back."  I started to turn and stopped again.  "I can tell her in the morning."  I crossed my arms, "but she probably isn't sleep yet..."

I blinked, realizing I was standing in the middle of the street like a crazy person, talking to myself.  I frowned.  "She really is making me look that way."  I thought back to her words about being free and my wolf sighed, knowing where that would lead.

I smirked as he reluctantly agreed.  "I'll take it back, this way she feels she has a choice... then, we'll fight like hell to make sure it's us."  I strode back to her house and caught her scent on the street.

I groaned.  "What the fuck is she doing?  It's dangerous to be out here alone."  When I found her, I couldn't move and my lungs failed me as my heart shattered.  She was on her knees in front of the garage face full of horror at the sight.

I wanted to go to her, I wanted to pick her up and take her for away from it, but I couldn't as my wolf took complete control and we shifted, enraged.  He paced restlessly ready to go after the bastard that did this, her father by the scent, but we couldn't leave her here alone.

Our saving grace came in the form of her uncle who rushed to her side.  She struggled when he was trying to take her away, but she pointed back as though she couldn't believe what happened.  He said something just to get her in the car and headed toward her house, but we followed just to make sure she was safe.

I was very confused when he left and sat looking at the wall.  I didn't like the idea of someone claiming I could be with no one else, but... my wolf damn near swooned.  I furrowed my brow recalling his words from earlier.  "If he belongs to no one, then neither do we."

I felt as she had to agree with me though disgruntled about it.  I was too restless to sleep now so I hopped back out of my window and to the garage.  I froze when it was wide open, or rather the door was torn off and the piano torn to shreds.

I sunk to my knees, as despair spread through my chest.  I don't know how long I stared, but I felt myself being lifted and struggled.  "Relax... it's just me."

I shook my head and pointed still not comprehending.  "I know... I see it, but you can't sit here in the open like this, Kid.  It's not safe."

I let him put me in his car and looked over.  "So... are you really my uncle?"

He chuckled.  "Yes and no, traveled with your dad before he got married, been here since before you were born."  I tensed and he sighed.  "I was your dad's Beta for a long time until he started mistreating you.  He was no longer my Alpha from that day forward."

I watched as his eyes stayed a clear blue.  "And now?"

He smirked.  "Like your mom... I'll stick with you, my Alpha."

Something about the way he said it put me and my wolf at ease.  "Thank you..."

I heard a low growl as I got out and froze as a dark brown wolf came into view.  My wolf stirred automatically, but Toni was in front of me already.  "What do you want?"

It stalked closer and I tried to step foward, but was held back.  I glared at my uncle and he lowered his gaze.  "Just wait, it doesn't have to be a fight."

The wolf snapped and growled again. I sighed and calmly looked at it.  Then I heard another growl that I found strangely comforting, but still offensive.  I didn't feel I needed protection.  I raised my eyebrows as it came closer and stepped in front of my uncle to stare them down.
