The Alpha and the Mistake novel Chapter 9

Mike

I looked at the sunlight filtering through the tree limbs. The numbness brought on by the Jack Daniels left me. Now I was stiff and had a damp ass. Damn, why didn't I notice the ground was wet when I sat down? Oh. Right. I was half drunk. Standing, I stretched all the kinks out. I wondered if Missy ever got out of the woods.

I meant to tell her the way she needed to go, but the look of pure horrified shock on her face was hilarious! Did she think Dad would let her just walk away?

When I reached the school parking lot, it was empty. Good, the school was out. I was totally over school. It's nothing but a waste of time if you ask me. As I pulled out of the lot and drove home, I actually obeyed the speed limits. Unfortunately, even driving so slow the drive only took ten minutes. Tammy, my sister's friend, parked in front of my house. Maybe my day was looking up!

"Hey girl, what's up?" Some playtime sounded nice about now.

"Oh hi, Mike. Hey, is Dean home? He said he'd tutor me in math."

"I bet he did." Her flush or her biting her lower lip told me what kind of tutoring she was talking about. My fist clenched around my keys. I took a calming breath and grinned at her. "He's not here, though, but I can tutor you in anything you need."

"You are such a pig, Mike." The disgust on her face.

A pig? What did I say? "Yeah? That's not what you said last time."

Tammy rolled her eyes at me. "Whatever, Mike. Dean is a gentleman so why would I waste my time on you?"

She was begging to get slapped. I started to bring up my fist but remembered Dad didn't want me hitting her. Her dad was in good with him, so I had to play nice.

"Yeah well, as I said you deaf bitch, he's not here so get your skank ass out of here." I grinned at the flash of hurt on her face. Good. When Tammy comes crawling back to me, I am so going to make sure she's sorry. Damn Dean. God, I hated his stupid ass. I couldn't wait until Dad finished pretending to be friends with his pack. I was going to have so much fun smashing his pretty-boy face into the ground.

"Thank you for getting rid of that girl. I can't stand her. She is like a parasite," Mom said, wiping her hands on a dishtowel and kissed me on the top of my head, making the anger vanish.
