“Well beside you Mateo, the rest avoid me, so nowhere else to go so might as well stay here,” Beta Mateo chucks his arm across my shoulders giving it a squeeze. “Well, we can always give them something to talk about, really kick the rumors off,” He says, his eyes sparkling in mischief.
“You will do no such thing, hands–off Mateo,” The Alpha tells him before hopping up. Something seemed to anger him as he turned and walked inside. Beta Mateo’s eyes glaze over and I can tell he is mind linking before he abruptly hops up.
“I will see you later Kat, I have pissed off the Alpha, time for my scolding,” He says in a mocking tone. I wondered why the Alpha got upset. Angie, seeing me on my own, smiles brightly before making her way over to me and I go to get up.
“What did you say to piss off the Alpha?” She asks.
“I don’t know Angie, but why don’t you go and throw yourself at him and find out,” I tell her.
“I might just go do that,” she taunts, but I find it pisses me off. I didn’t understand my anger over it, but I suddenly didn’t want her claws anywhere near him.
I watch as she walks away, heading inside after him. I sat there seething at her, my intense anger toward her shocked me. I hated her, hated the girl with a passion. Looking around the backyard, I look up to see shocked faces staring at me. I stare back, wondering what their problem is.
Getting up, it wasn’t until I put my rubbish in the bin and was turning to go back to the door when I noticed something strange. Nobody had turned their gaze away from me.
Anger bubbling within me like a hot poker as I walked back to the house, people stepping out of my way and dropping their heads. What the fuck is wrong with them? I wondered as they hurriedly moved away from me like I was contagious. I felt tears brim at the embarrassment like I was doing some walk of shame, but for something I had no clue of doing.
I was being shunned, just like back home. This Pack was no different. I would always be a freak. Escaping everyone’s eyes, I raced to my room, taking the steps two at a time before locking eyes with Angie coming down the stairs next to my room.
“She is probably on her period, pay her no attention Alpha” I hear Angie’s voice burn my cars. I see red, uncontrollable anger erupting from me and I grip the door handle, reefing the door wide open.
Angie’s face pales, and Mateo and Ezra take a step back from me, a vicious growl escaping my lips, not only shocking Angie, who looked on the verge of wetting her pants but myself. I had never made a noise like that. The tension in the air felt like it was rippling, and Angie took a panicked step back when I lunged at her.
see it a second too late as Mateo and Ezra both lunge at me simultaneously. Ezra’s arms wrapped around my waist securely, ripping me back away from her. Mateo moves out of the way just in time as my leg kicks out, aiming for Angie’s terrified face.
“Angie, go!” Mateo snaps at her and she darts off down the stairs.
