Werewolf Compilations novel Chapter 98

I hurry downstairs after hearing James call for me, saying Theodore is here. Turning to the foyer, I find the two talking, but they don't seem to notice me. James is saying something quietly, sounding quite serious. Not knowing if I should interrupt, I hang back and drift closer, hoping someone sees me eventually. I watch as James places his hand on Theodore's shoulder. "Understand?"

Theodore nods and his eyes find me. He motions and James turns around.

"Are you ready?" James asks as I walk in. Theodore opens the door for us, but just as I make my move to walk out, James holds me.

I look up at him with a smile. "I'm ready to go."

"Just be careful. Don't do anything reckless, and stay on the land."

"He's just showing me around. There's no need to worry about anything. I'll be back in a few hours." Unless that girl attacks me and kills me, but I think that's unlikely. I hope she isn't some skilled fighter or hot-headed monster hidden by the body of a pretty girl.

"Alright. I'll see you later then."

"Bye," I say and follow Theodore to wherever he planned to go first, but just as I hear the door shut, I spill. "We're not really going around the pack."

Theodore looks back to me. "What do you mean? That's what we're doing."

"No. Not anymore. I need you to take me to see someone."

He stops and turns around, facing me with crossed arms. "No, I'm taking you around the pack, that's what my Alpha said, so that's what we're going to do. I'm not including myself in your schemes."

"Schemes?" I say, almost laughing. "What? So you think I want you to take me off Pack land? No, Theodore. This person is apart of the pack."

"I don't care if they're on a different continent or right in front of us, that's not what we're doing. What you do on your free time without me is your own business, but right now, I'm taking you to the training grounds." He turns back around and walks, but I stay put.

"What did he say to you? Did he threaten you?"

"Does it matter? Either way, if you get yourself hurt or into trouble or Goddess knows what, I'm as good as dead," he dramatically calls to me, still moving. "So let's go."
