A.O

Chapter 6

When she said she wants to talk, she means MacDonald with a Big Mac and an up sized coke and fries.

Munching on my burger, I looked up to her, waiting for her to speak.

I didn't think that a tour with her can lead us to MacDonald.

She's looking out the window, resting her chin on her palm while she chews.

Oh well, save me the interrogation, I shrugged.

"So, Catalonia, how old are you?" She said without looking at me. Guess I said too soon.

"Um 20?" I said, a little surprised that she doesn't know my age. "Mmm not bad for a 24-year-old Xander." She nodded approvingly. "So how is he treating you?"

I paused, I open and close my mouth. Should I tell her the truth or lie to her. What if Xander become angry at me? Wait, why do I care?

Too engross in my thoughts I didn't realized Quincey has stopped chewing, instead narrowing her eyes at me.

"Cat, I want to know the truth." She said looking at me in the eye. I can feel the alpha power radiating off her.

Sighing, my wolf already submits to her, "To be honest, it's bad." I paused, looking at her reaction, but she just waved for me to continue.

"He said his being disgraced by me, an Omega, that he would find another woman more suitable to be his Luna...and he...he even said he would bring woman back, expecting me to be okay with it!" I exploded.

The emotions that overwhelmed me is too strong to hold back. A sob escaped me, the ache in my chest is hurting me.

I felt burns in my eyes, slowly tears started to roll down my cheeks.

Quincey stood up and came to my side, giving me a side hug.

She didn't say anything just hug me, and that's more than enough.

I bet the other people who's looking at us, will be thinking that we just escape from an asylum with just enough money to afford Big Macs.

I felt drained after my crying, leaving the occasional hiccups.

Quincey decided to drive us back to the packhouse, even though I keep telling her that I'm fine.

The music 'Somewhere Only We Know', didn't did much help in my fuzzy brain. "Cat..."

Quincey put her one of her hand on top of mine, turning my heavy head towards her, "Don't give up on Xander, please." She said, her voice begging, as she looked straight ahead. She continued, "All these" she paused. "Have a reason, and it's not my story to tell, so until then, as his sister I want to see him happy again, and only you can do that." She patted my hands a few times before taking it back on the steering wheel.

I said nothing, maybe I'm too tired or I'm just...nothing.

Xander...Zara whispered, inside of my mind.

Even his name alone sends tingles down my spine, the good type.

"Okay." I said/whispered. "I will not give up on him until...I reach my limit or that I know there is no such chance of an us happening."

"Thank you so much Cat."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quincey said she have some 'things' to settle, so right now I'm here alone at the packhouse.

Why don't she bring me back to Xander's house I don't know? Yeah I didn't say our because I'm still not ready yet, plus he isn't making it feel any better.

"Are you new?" I heard a voice said beside me, interrupting my thoughts.

Turning my head towards the voice, I see a guy around my age, staring at me curiously with his light brown eyes.

"If a few days here is new to you then ya I'm new." I said, feeling bitchy. I didn't mean to be rude really it's just ugh.

"Wow...chill there chica it's just I rarely see anyone new come to this pack until now." He mused, taking a seat beside me on the couch stealing my popcorn.

Yes, I love food.

"Well you didn't see doesn't mean it doesn't happen, and stop stealing my popcorn!" I scolded, smacking his hand away.

"Sorriew..." He tried to speak with his mouth full of popcorn.

I tried to put on a strict face but end up laughing at his silly face.

Just like that we spent a long time talking and laughing at Tom and Jerry arguing who should be Jerry.

"But Jerry is a male, so I should be him!" He argued proudly. "So?" I raised one eyebrow. "His smart and your dumb so no you can't be." I deadpan smiling up at him.

"I, Caleb stupid?" His face morphed into one of evil. He raised his hands in a 'boo' motion towering over me.

"You-" His being interrupted at the sound of the front door banging open.

We turn out heads towards the intruder and to my surprise it's Xander. What is he doing here?

He looked around frantically wearing his grey T-shirt and jeans.

Damn he's hot.

When his eyes landed on me, I swear I saw relieve, but when his eyes shifted to Caleb who's still doing the scary ghost thing at me, his eyes turned dark.

"Alpha." Caleb retrieve his hands, standing up straight.

Xander, without a word, just growl and ran out.

Banging the door again, I pity the door, I bet it would be dropping off its hinges anytime now.

Sure enough, the door falls off with a 'Bam!' That's how strong Xander was.

What's his problem? He came barging in then went barging out.

Without thinking my feet already stood up and walked itself towards Xander trail.

I started walking, then speed walking, jogging and soon I ran on running into the woods following his scent.

I continue running with my hair flying behind me, feeling the coldness and silence of the night.

There is this rising anticipation or worry that is burning in my chest that I desperately need and want to get rid of.

I don't know why, I don't know how, but I'm going to find out.
