I got off work and headed to the packhouse for kitchen duties. I ran into Dara as she was leaving to go home and she told me Alpha Brandon has requested she bring his food to him when she was on duty. I laughed and said better you than me. She rolled her eyes and said she would see me in a bit. I got to the kitchen and was informed that one of the sides Omegas wasn't coming in so not only did I have the meat to cook, but I also had to make the sides for my meat. I honestly hate how this kitchen is run. Why not have the same sides for both of the meats for that night? I think it's just too much. I mean half of what isn't eaten at dinner and can't be frozen for another night is sent home with the Omega's or thrown out if no one wants it. I asked one of the head kitchen Omega's Kingsleigh whose idea it was to serve 6 different sides for each meat and she laughed and said that Beta Josiah is the one who suggested it and after the first time doing it, it just kind of became something they did. I said well it sucks! It's too much food. A meal should have 2 sides, not 4 extra sides. She laughed and said to take it up with the Alpha. I mumbled under my breath, Oh just wait I will next week. After I finished the prime rib, Corn on the cob, garlic-roasted mashed potatoes, and steamed Broccoli, I made myself a plate and headed home. I was going to eat in the dining hall but I was annoyed and didn't want to be surrounded by loud idiots.
When I got home, I sat my plate down on the counter and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, and ate. I decided after I ate that I was going to write down a list of things that needed to be brought up to Alpha Brandon at the dinner. Once I made my list out, I went and sat on my back porch and looked up at the sky. I sighed and said, Hi Mom. Hi Dad. I know I haven't talked to you in a while. I miss you both but I am still mad at y'all for leaving me here to deal with these idiots. I have a meeting with the Alpha next week and I plan on telling him what needs to change around here. I'm sorry if I am a disappointment to you both for not speaking up before now. I just didn't want any trouble. Hopefully, my meeting with the Alpha helps our pack change. I love you both.
I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. A tear rolled down the side of my face and I sat up and wiped the tear away. I got up and headed into the woods. I was about to do something I didn't like to do but I know I needed to do. I began removing my clothes and once I was completely undressed I shifted. Skye has been begging me to let her out and I have ignored her but I know I can't keep my wolf locked up. I began running through the trees and came to the stream that was behind my house. Skye and I stood there sniffing the air to make sure no one else was around. She looked down at the water and I saw our reflection. I had almost forgotten how beautiful she was. Light brown fur that looked almost gold and golden brown eyes. She took a drink of the cold water and took off running into the pasture on the other side of the stream. Skye began chasing a wild horse that was grazing. I laughed at her and said she reminded me of a dog chasing a cat. She called me rude and huffed. Skye plopped down in the grass and began rolling around. She laid there for a while and just stared up at the stars. Skye suddenly got up and began looking around. I asked what was wrong and she said she smelled something. Before she could even turn to head back to the stream, a big black bear came charging at us. Skye froze for a moment but snapped out of it and took stance. She began growling and snarling at the bear but it didn't take off the other way like she thought it would. It stopped about 30 yards from us and began making low growling sounds. Skye took a step forward and so did the bear. Just as the bear was about to take off directly for us, a massive wolf came from out of nowhere and knocked the bear backward. Skye took off running back toward my house and when we got to where I laid my clothes, she gave me control and we shifted back. I quickly put my t-shirt and underwear on and ran back to my porch. I ran inside and closed the door. Skye asked if I had ever seen that wolf before and I said I hadn't. She said he smelt good enough to eat.
"Only you would say some random crap like that after we were almost attacked by a black bear."
I pushed her to the back of my mind and went to start the shower. As I was standing in the shower I turned the hot up more and just let the water hit my body. Every time I shift, my body ends up sore. I sighed as I felt the relief from my sore muscles. When I got out I curled up on my couch and put a movie on. I lay there until the movie was over and then I headed to bed. I woke up screaming and tears streaming down my face. I was dreaming about the night my parents died. My parents, were patrolling the packland late one night and I was supposed to be in bed but I snuck into the living room after the sitter had fallen asleep and I was watching them from the window when I saw 4 rogues charge my parents and kill them. I sat up and held my knees to my chest and cried.
