I had pushed my luck too hard because Dale and I bump into my mom and… an unhealthy pause for suspenseful reasons… Alpha Everett.
"Hayden?" My mom calls in surprise, cutting off whatever she had previously been seriously explaining to Alpha Everett. "Why are you back from school so soon? Is something wrong?" She asks curiously, worry tinting her voice as she steps closer.
"Elise pushed him out the window." Dale blurts out before I can figure out a way to break the news delicately to my mom and I note belatedly that he gets her name perfectly this time.
The files in her hands crash to the ground as she closes the distance between us, Alpha Everett's eyes widen fractionally, a vein ticking on his neck.
"Excuse me, what!" My mom exclaims, throwing herself on me, horror in her face. "Are you okay? Oh my fucking… what happened?" She panics.
"I'm fine, mom." I say, my voice muffled against her chest where she hugs me tightly. "Dale saved me."
