My Name is NOT Cupcake novel Chapter 38

It was a few days before I got to see my dad. I was happy I got to see him. Tight hugs were becoming a common occurrence.

"Novalyn, I'm so happy you're safe," he sighed. We caught up and he told me everything about mom and Nolan and what he knew. He knew the bare minimum about werewolves.

I stayed at Alpha Peter's house for two weeks. It was stressful sitting on our hands and waiting for something to happen. The ache in my chest was growing each day and I knew exactly what it was. I missed Elias. Even though I was hurt a lot, I knew, on some level, he was trying to protect me. I also knew that he would stop at nothing to get me back. He already told me that much. That's why Alpha Peter and Mason trained the Sentinel to prepare for Elias. Nolan and Mason took turns training with them. 

My dad would come by every now and then. He would have dinner with us and bring me clothes and things from home when I needed them since my supply was running low. I spent a lot of time with Mason, but I didn't mind at all. We were best friends before we dated so everything came naturally. Then one night, it happened.

That first warning howl.

It was followed by a lot of other howls. We were in the middle of a game of Uno when the battle cry was given. Peter rushed into the living room just as Mason and Nolan dropped their cards and stood.
