Chapter 47 - You got it

"Ugh. DAMMIT!" he groans in pain while cracks keep appearing. He looks at me and once he notices my serene face he stops.

The wind stops and he walks until he's standing next to me.

"What the fuck?" Dylan says shock. He snaps out of it and runs towards Nick "Nick!" he starts shaking him and Nick groans in response.

He gets up from the floor, broken nose, busted lips, cuts and injuries all around his body, but he's not human, that's nothing to him.

"GODDAMMIT!" Nick shouts angrily but stops the moment he looks at me, more specifically, to where I'm standing.

I'm standing next to the kitchen's window. The kitchen is on the first floor so obviously it's not like I can jumped off, but this is a reminder.

He freezes and starts breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry... I over reacted" he says walking slowly towards me, I raise an eyebrow.

I'm glad he's not asking what happened.

"Is that the only thing you're going to say? What the fuck is happening? What the hell was that?" I hear Theo's concern voice.

I sigh annoyed, my brother is bad at moving things around, he gets tired easily but there's one thing he's really good at.

"Sean, make them forget all this, it would be too annoying to explain".

"What about the injuries he has?" Sean asks while still looking angry.

"Make him think he fought a house cat" I reply calmly and Sean laughs.

"You got it, thunderstorm".

Theo, Dylan, the tracker and Nick freeze in place and their eyes lose focus. I turn to face Lucas and Jos.

"We're lucky we were the only ones in the kitchen, Sean can't do this with more than 5 people" I say calmly.

Jos and Lucas stayed silent for 1 straight minute, just staring at me, and then they started laughing and clapping.

"Your brother is a fucking beast!" Jos laughs "I wish I could see him too".

"He's ugly, so you should be glad you can't see him" I say with my monotonic voice.

"Seriously? You're pretty so I thought he was going to be hot" Lucas says disappointed.

"...I was joking" apparently my voice didn't help with my jokes.

"You better be joking! I was pretty popular when I was alive, and you know it!" I hear Sean joking.

I turn to look at him and smile.

Jos pats my back "It was a nice try, what's going to happen to them?" she points at the stupid trio.

"They will forget the whole 'windy' situation" I explain. I don't want them to forget the rest.

"Thank you for coming, Sean" he pats my head at my response.

I know he will always come when I ask for him and that makes me really happy.

I hand him a letter.

"For our dad, place it in the mailbox". The message says I'm safe and that my mischief is going well, it also says I can't visit for the next couple days.

I wish we could stay together a little more, but honestly, I'd rather he leaves quickly, afraid to leave our dad unattended.

"I'll go deliver this to dad then" he laughs. "Be safe thunderstorm, I know you can handle but I'll be near if you need me" Sean smiles and fades away.

For a moment, nothing happened, we were enveloped in a nice silence until.

"What are we going to do with the rogue king situation?" I turn to face the origin of the question, Theo.

I smile faintly, Sean is good at making others forget, that's why they're continuing the conversation where they left it.

"Pffffft" I turn to look at Lucas, he's barely holding his laughter, I look next to him, and Jos is also barely holding it in.

I raise my eyebrows and they bite their lips trying to control their expressions. They're failing miserably. I face palm.

"Alice" Nick looks at me, are we going to repeat what happened? I hope not. "I need you to stay inside the pack house at all times until we resolve this" he pleads, and I nod.

He opens his eyes wide, so wide I fear his eyes would pop out, his mouth is open agape. "Really? You're going to listen? Just like that?" he says incredulously.

"Should I shout?" I tilt my head confuse.

"Yesterday, when I said that you...!!".

Yeah, better not finish what you were going to say, Nick.

Yesterday I still held some expectations on them, I still hoped they would let me go peacefully, that they would noticed how messed up their actions were, but now I just want to destroy them, and to destroy them I have to stay here, that's why it's pointless to fight that since our wishes align, though not for the same reasons, he wants me to stay here so that he can babysit me, I want to stay here so that I can enjoy the show from the VIP seats.

"...I'll see you later" Nick says and turns around, leaving the kitchen. Dylan and Theo walk behind him, the tracker following behind them. Finally, peace and quiet, I can finally eat in peace.

"So, Allie".

Ah fuck, can I eat for two minutes without someone calling my name?

"Yes, Lucas?" I look at him tiredly and he smirks.

"I get that Jos is your beta and Wes might be your third in command, so... what am I?" he says amused. I know he's just talking to bother my meal.

"What do you want to be?" I ask while tilting my head.

They can decide their place, after all this is not a real pack... I hope. I'm not a werewolf, I'm not an alpha, I'm just someone with a mission, fuck up our enemies.

"That's not how it works, Allie. You're supposed to tell us!" he complains, and I just stare at him with an annoy face.

I don't like when people expect others to decide for them when they can decide themselves, it might work like that for them but not for me, and I'm not going to take them by the hand to make them decide.

After realizing I was not going to answer Lucas hangs his head in defeat and starts talking.

"...when I was a kid, I wanted to be the alpha, but mostly out of jealousy, you know, the typical 'I want to do what my older brother does'" he smiles "but now? Hell, I don't even know" he laughs.

I look at him, I must admit, I'm surprise of his answer, I thought he was going to be the ambitious type.

"Is that why you're following me? As a way to figure out what you want?" I ask curiously.

"Nah, I'm happy following you, following my brother always felt... annoying, he's a good leader but he's an ass in personal relationships and I don't like that he puts himself in a pedestal, that narcissist idiot. I love him but..." he scoffs.

"Well, with you is different, I'm just glad to follow your words, it's really hard to explain" he laughs

"Right? It feels so natural! Like we were meant to follow her since we met!" Jos says excited and Lucas nods. I wince annoyed.

Mmmmmmhh. I can't stop thinking about what Lucas said, he wanted to be the alpha and he's good at the tasks I've given him.

He follows instructions properly but knows when to draw a line. I smirk, Lucas and Jos flinch at my face but I blatantly ignore it.

Maybe a change of leader would be good for this pack... but that's for the future.

We don't say anything more and I finally eat my meal. We decide to spend our time in Jos's secret room that is now our secret base, I told them that was unnecessary, but they insisted.

We spend the rest of the day watching anime, reading Lucas's comics, and reading the copy of the Silver Dagger pack documents while eating junk food.

I must say it was a good productive day.
