The Alpha and Omega

Chapter 28

Dakota and Alix walked with me through the pack house. Their parents were gone for the time being and neither of them liked the sisters to be alone. Their house was close to the border so the sisters were often forced to go to the pack house so they never got hurt. That was the only time, other than school, I ever got to see them.

Finally we were on the top floor where I was forced to sleep. I smiled and said "Night guys...See you tomorrow. Then we'll go for a run and hopefully have some fun." I laughed and Dakota and Alix laughed along with me. I slowly closed the door and turned the light on.

My room was small. It was the attic room and only a small window let the moonlight inside. I quickly opened the small dresser drawer and grabbed an old t-shirt and some old basketball shorts. I quickly stripped and started to put the clothes on. I had the shorts on and was about to put the t-shirt on when the door opened slowly and I turned around quickly holding the shirt over myself.

Nashoba stood in the doorway. His eyes were wide and his face was instantly beet red. Then his eyes narrowed and his gaze became lustful. I snarled and said "What the hell? Get yourself out of my room right now or I swear to the Gods I will murder you in your sleep." Nashoba stared at me for a few more seconds before slowly backing out and closing the door leaving it cracked slightly.

I quickly turned around pulling the shirt down over my head. Then I stormed to the door flinging it open. Nashoba still had that lustful look in his eyes, but he seemed more in control of himself and he no longer needed help walking. This made me happy, but I quickly pushed the emotions away and poked him harshly in the chest pushing him back and saying "Ok, listen here. The door was shut which means you either knock or leave! Do you understand!?"

Nashoba instantly looked softer and nodded saying "I'm sorry. I was just coming up to tell you, you don't have to stay up here tonight, or ever. I don't want you up here cold and all. It makes me worry."

I growled "You have no reason to worry about me, Oh Great Alpha. I don't need your pity. So get your ass back down the stairs before I kick it down there!" I turned quickly and then slammed the door in his face. I stormed to my small desk and grabbed my laptop off of it.

I sat down heavily on my bed. I heard Nashoba's heavy breathing outside my door. He still hadn't left, but I really didn't care. I grabbed my ear buds off my pillow and plugged them into the laptop. I didn't allow myself many luxuries, but I did allow myself the gift of silent music. Nashoba wouldn't be able to  hear me listening to songs.

I yawned and turned the laptop on. It took a few seconds for my home page to come up, but when it did I instanty got onto the internet and was surfing the web within seconds. Music blared into my ears and I didn't realize when a small puppy crawled into the room. When I did though I set my laptop aside and take out an ear bud.

The puppy whines softly and I lean down picking him up. He licks my hand repeatedly and I smile watching him. He squirms around in my grasp and I read one of his tags. It says Manu. Then three kids burst into the room. They look at me with smiles and say "Hey! That's our dog! Manu!"

I slowly hand him out as the puppy squirms in my hand. They laugh and take him quickly. I watch as they slowly exit. It's obvious those kids were all Nashoba's siblings. I didn't know whether they were werewolves or not though. I listened closely as they went back down the stairs. When I no longer heard them I closed and locked my door laying down in the twin bed pinned against the wall.

I still had my laptop on and continued blasting music into my ears, but my eyes were fluttering closed and I was fighting to stay awake. However a song caught my attention and I listened to it closely.

Kellie Pickler: I Forgive You

I’ve been carrying around this pain

I’ve been dragging it like a chain

A million tons of steel

 

This hurt is drowning me inside

It’s like an ocean deep and wide

And you were and anchor pulling me down

Pulling me down

 

And I’ve cursed your name

I’ve tried to numb the pain

There’s no whiskey, there’s no pills

To change the way it feels

 

And I’ve prayed and prayed

For it to go away

There’s only one thing left for me to do

I forgive you

 

I learned I had to set it free

Hating you was only hurting me

Like poison

 

I had to let go of the dream

That our past could ever be

Anything but what it was

Any different than it was

 

And I’ve cursed your name

I’ve tried to numb the pain

There’s no whiskey, there’s no pills

To change the way it feels

 

And I’ve prayed and prayed

For it to go away

There’s only one thing left for me to do

I forgive you

 

I forgive you

 

And I’ve cursed your name

I’ve tried to numb the pain

There’s no whiskey, there’s no pills

To change the way it feels

 

And I’ve prayed and prayed

For it to go away

There’s only one thing left for me to do

The only thing for me to do

Is forgive you 

After the song was over my eyes fluttered and I yawned. Before I could think of anything else I was out like a light. My brain hit the off switch and I was asleep.
