After Your Rejection

Chapter 25 The Phone Call

Alexis

I arrived in the Howling Wolf Pack early in the morning. I was anxious the whole ride here, hoping we didn't encounter any trouble. Damian's plan for my transfer worked, which is a little bit surprising given it was Damian's idea. As it turned out, he can be serious and responsible when needed. This side of him is new to me. He always acts like he doesn't give a sh*t about anything, except for us, maybe. Alpha Darius's Beta was waiting for me in front of the pack house. He showed me to my room and left me to settle down. I hopped into the shower, feeling like I needed to cleanse myself from all the tension and negative thoughts and emotions that accumulated in me in the last 24 hours. I still don't know how I will solve my situation, but let's leave this decision for later. I'm positive my family and the rest of my friends will soon find out I left and that I'm in Damian's pack. I know Dad or Mum will tell Alpha Sebastian as well. That way, he could come anytime to complete the rejection. I just hope he will give me some time to catch my breath after my 'break-up' with Seth.

When I'm clean and dressed, I decide to roam around the pack house. I slept in the car for a while, and I'm not that tired to go to bed. I hope to find Gavin or others to keep me company. Maybe find something to eat. But before that, I should call Damian and let him know I have arrived, and surprise, I'm still alive.

'Do you call me to tell me I'm the best and there will be nobody like me ever again?' Damian tells me after picking up my call. I roll my eyes at his greeting. Always so cocky, and so sure of himself.

'I'm calling to tell you I'm safe and sound in your pack. Thank you for everything.' I tell him after I suppressed the urge to say some smart-ass comment. I'm really thankful to him, so our bickering can wait for a while.

'No problem, anything for you. You can thank me properly later if you know what I mean. I won't mind.' Damian says in a deep voice, going for his flirting tone. Yeah, our truce won't last for long, I guess.

'Okay, I'll call you a stripper when you come back. But not the same one you ordered for Gavin, for obvious reasons.' I tell him back. I'm not playing this game with him.

'Nah, not good enough. You should dance for me… preferably a lap dance. Hey! What the f*ck, man?' Damian yells suddenly.

'Language!' I hear another voice coming from the phone, probably Alpha Darius's.

'What happened?' I ask Damian after a moment of silence.

'Just your brother doesn't like my ideas.' Damian answers. I should have known Axel would do that after what Damian said.

'Say hi to him for me, please. Tell him I'm sorry I wanted to steal his car. And that I left without saying goodbye. Hey, but he can come anytime when he wants to see me. Also, can you please send somebody to pack my things in the dormitory? I would ask your Beta, but I haven't seen him so far.' I spill without taking a breath.

'A lot of information from you. Gav is probably still asleep with his mate after a full night of passion.' Damian says, the last part a little bitterly.

'Somebody is jealous.' I taunt him.

'No, just stating the obvious… Okay, I'll send somebody to your room in the dormitory. And don't worry, I'll instruct them to be careful with the s*x toys you have in your top drawer.' Damian says and I can totally picture the smirk on his face.

'How do you know… Forget it, I don't want to know what you did when you were staying in my room. I just hope you didn't touch anything.' I say while trying not to think about him playing with my s*x toys. Gross! I need to wash them properly. And spray a lot of disinfection on them.

'Nothing, just snooping around a bit. Hey! Stop it, you are hurting me!' Damian yells again.

'Your brother is violent today, maybe he needs to get laid… F*cking hell, Finn!' Damian exclaims. I start to laugh at their antics while Alpha Darius is yelling 'language' again. Not that it's working. My laughter is soon interrupted by a knock. When I open the door, I find Gavin smiling at me.

'Forget the s*x toys. There's a really cute man at my door right now… Hey handsome, wanna come in?' I try to provoke Damian. And it works.

'Who's at your door so early in the morning? Give me the cutie!' Damian's voice sounds murderously low. I hand my phone to Gavin, who is silently laughing his ass off.

'Who the f*ck is there? I swear to you, Giovanni, if you touch her, I'll f*cking rip off both of your hands. You think if you have this stupid Italian accent and stupid name, you could have anybody, but it's not happening with Alexis. Don't even think about her!' Damian barks. Gavin and I have a hard time controlling ourselves and not burst out laughing like maniacs.

'Take a deep breath, Dame. It's me, Gavin. Alexis is just messing with you.' Gavin tells him. I smack him for ruining our fun, and he flashes me his best smile.

'Thank f*ck it's you. Better keep the a*sholes away from her…' Damian is threatening him.

'Language, Damian!' Alpha Darius yells.

'Dad, if you'll excuse me, I'm in the middle of an important phone call.'

'Don't worry, I already took care of Giovanni. He's at the hospital having his hands fixed. I paid him a visit when I heard from Dad that Alexis was coming. I dislocated both his arms and told him that if he ever touched Alexis, this injury would be nothing compared to what you would do to him.' Gavin informs Damian. I can't believe what Gav just said. What he did. Without a proper reason!

'Wasn't it a little bit drastic?' I ask Gavin.

'NO! Somebody f*cking thinks out of the box. Terrific job, Gav. You deserve a raise. If you were in front of me right now, I would have kissed you.' Damian praises his Beta. I just shake my head at his behavior. Not that I'm surprised, these two guys can be a lot when together.

'F*cking language!... Oh, f*ck!' Alpha Darius is the one cursing now. I can't contain my laughter. This will be fun, living with Alpha Darius, Damian and Gavin.

'Gross Dame. Remember, I'm marked and mated. And you are not my type.' Gavin says.

'I'm everybody's type. Right, Alexis?... F*cking stop, Axel. You are giving me a dead arm.' Damian yells at my brother again.

'Serves you right, you jacks*s. Remember Damian, she is my sister. 'No touching rule' applies to you too.' I hear Axel growling at Damian. It's only a few hours and I already miss them all. But it's for the best to stay here and put my life back on track. I trust Damian and I know he and Alpha Darius will do everything to help me. Not that they will solve my problems, but they will create the perfect environment for me to figure out how to solve some of them. Some can't be solved so easily, but I'm positive that over time, everything will be alright, and I will be whole again… after a long time of just doing my best not to break completely. I have tried to stay strong for a long time now. I'm tired of it.
