Fated Mates (A reverse harem romance)

Chapter Three

I was shaken by all that has happened lately. Finding my parents dead, their cold, empty faces haunting my mind and then the realization that I would have to join a big pack in a week. I threw myself into work to avoid having to deal with it all. We trained every morning. My brothers determined I get stronger. Then I helped Dean study. He was never the smartest tool in the tool box but over the week he seemed to be determined to stay close to me so I took the opportunity to at least make sure he got his GED. He studied hard, I think he was as shaken as I was at what has happened lately.

He even sat with me at lunch which caused people to talk. It seemed I had lost my cloak of invisibility. I was waiting outside of school for Dean to finish practice and my brothers to come and get me, when a girl came over to me. I noticed her but kept on reading the book in my hand. She audibly cleared her throat and I looked up at her. It was Stacey, the head cheerleader. She was pretty even with long bleach blonde hair and way too much make up. Her outfit just about covered her ass and t**s, a complete opposite from my wardrobe of jeans and a tank top with a short cardigan with a hood.

She looked me up and down with a look of disgust plastered on her face. "I don't know what your game is freak, but Dean is mine so back off."

I looked at her shocked and blinking "What?"

"Dean Silver. I saw you with him at lunch. You need to back off b***h he is mine."

"What the f**k are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb. I don't know who you are slut, but you need to back off!" the girl gritted out the last words with venom.

I stood and placed the book I was reading on the bench I was sat on. I extended my hand which the girl looked at like I was offering her a piece of shit." My name is Vic. Vic Silver. "

" Silver? " the girl echoed looking as dumb as the Barbie doll she resembled.

"I'm Dean's sister. Although he never mentioned that he had a girlfriend. I'm sure my brothers will be happy to hear we have a new member of the family to welcome."

The girls face went bright red. "No. No don't mention me. It's new he probably doesn't want his whole family to know just yet." she fidgeted from side to side.

"Really because you were making some bold claims a minute ago about my brother and how he is yours." I took a step closer to her making her visibly shrink away from me. "You may not have noticed me in all the years we have been in school together but I am more perceptive and I think you need to get the f**k away from me before I tell everyone how you have been f*****g the coach in his car after matches."

"How the… What the… That is not true!" she protested.

I took another step closer, going nose to nose with her. "Now, now Stacey. You and I both know it is true. I think the only w***e here is you. So you need to scurry on back to whatever whole it is you climbed out of before I put you back there."

Stacey face went from red to purple. She swung her hand trying to slap me but I caught it and twisted sending Stacey to her knees in pain. "Get off me freak!" she yelled as I twisted harder. Her yelp of pain was loud and echoed around us.

" Vic. "I turned to see Clark and Mike had arrived. Clark came closer." Let her go. " the authority in his voice made my wolf bristle. I didn't fight her defiance this time, instead I got in Stacey's face and lowered my voice so that only people close could hear.

"Stacey, Stacey, Stacey. You are making a fool of yourself. You need to go home, put some clothes on and take off that mask you call a face. Think more of yourself and then others will think more of you." With that I dropped Stacey's hand and picked up my book and bag and walked past Clark and Mike towards the jeep.

Clark was close behind me. I went to open the door to the jeep, but Clark put his hand in the way stopping me." How long? " he asked. I looked at him puzzled. "How long has your wolf been able to fight against my command?" I shrugged. I can't remember a time when I didn't have to fight my wolf to obey my brother.

"Jesus, Vic. This is worse than I thought. I knew your wolf was strong, but strong enough to fight me. What about Sam?"

"Sometimes, it depended what it was. Sam didn't really command me a lot. He didn't need to." my voice was small at the memory of my family again coming to my mind. I blinked it away and looked at Clark. His face softened, he pulled me into a hug and then let me get into the jeep.

As I sat and waited for my brothers, I stared out the front windshield. I was lost in thought when something caught my attention it the tree line near the field. A man was there with a camera. The camera was pointed at the jeep. I ducked down. What the f**k?

I slowly opened the door just wide enough to slip through, slid out of the jeep and ran towards a nearby bush. I looked and the man was still aiming the camera at the jeep. I slinked around the edge to the bleachers where I ducked under. Checking again that the guy was still aiming it at the jeep. He was. I slowly entered the tree line careful not to make a sound. I moved like a ghost until I was behind the guy. That is when I jumped on his back and locked my arm around his throat.

He dropped the camera and fell to his knees. I held on tight as he fell. "Who the f**k are you?" I gritted out tightening my hold on the man. He tried to pull my arm off his throat so I shoved my knee into the soft spot on his back causing him to grunt in pain. "I asked you a question."

"I work for an Alpha." he gasped out.

"Which Alpha?" I demanded, tightening my hold further.

"Alpha Crescentmoon. He sent me to get footage of the girl that the Alphas are all drooling over." he said with a laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"I see why they want a little thing like you now, that's all." At his words I tightened my hold.

"Delete the footage, now!" I demanded shoving him towards the camera.

He rubbed his neck picking up the camera and aiming it at me again. "I can do sweetheart, but this s**t is live footage. He is watching right now. Say hi."

"You son of a bitch." I yelled launching at him and hitting him in the face over and over until he stopped smiling. I knew he wasn't dead and wolves healed fast so he wouldn't be down for long. I picked up the camera and looked straight down the lens. "Go f**k yourself." I said before smashing it into the ground until it was in tiny pieces all over the place.

As I came out of the trees my brothers turned to me. They thought I was still in the jeep so they were stunned at the direction I came from. "What the hell Vic why aren't you in the car?" Clark said as he stopped and looked and the blood dripping from my hands. "What happened?"

"Some f*****g creeper in the woods recording me. Said he works for an Alpha Crescentmoon. I dealt with him."

I walked past them and get back in the jeep letting my head fall to the side against the glass. What had my life become? I was a nobody and I loved it. Now, now I am being stalked by people I don't even know and who do not know me.

My brothers got into the jeep and we headed back to the apartment. When we got to the front door, it was unlocked. Clark pushed me behind him as we walked in. Alpha Moonblood was sat on the sofa his hair looked like he had been tugging at it relentlessly. When he saw us come in he shot up and came towards us. Clark growled and caught the alphas gaze. He stopped and nodded slightly.

His eyes snapped back to me. "Miss. Silver. I am glad to see you are okay after the incident at the school." he visibly winced, obviously thinking of what could have happened. "I failed you and I'm sorry. It will not happen again. I contacted the Alpha who sent the man and he knows not to approach you again in any way without my express permission."

"Why should it be your permission? Surely it should be me who gets a say in what nut jobs get to come close to me."

The alpha smiled. "They listen to me miss. Silver. After all I am the leader of our kind. I will however, never let anyone near you that you do not wish to be there." he looked sincere in what he said, so I nodded.

He took another step closer to me, ignoring the protests from the three wolves around me." I want to ask if I may have your phone number. That way I know that if you are ever in danger you can contact me."

"She has us!" Mike protested stepping closer to me.

"Yes she does. However, Alpha Crescentmoon was kind enough to send me the footage of today's incident, to assure me that she was not harmed. I know that her wolf is stronger than any of yours, meaning that if she is in danger she will need an even stronger wolf to protect her."

Clark looked at me and nodded. I nodded in return and Clark took the phone Alpha Moonblood offered him and punched in my number. As soon as he handed it back to the alpha he clicked ring and I felt the phone in my pocket vibrate. The sudden sensation sent a bolt through my body which quickly stopped when he hung up. He smiled, obviously noticing my stiffness. A blush went across my cheeks but I quickly recovered. "Until tomorrow night then." he carefully moved past us and out of the door.

I went over and collapsed on the sofa. His scent was still strong, causing my wolf to stretch in response. Stupid wolf. I got the feeling I was a hindrance to the Alpha more than anything. We ate dinner and then I went to bed. Exam day was tomorrow and they I was obviously going to be taken to the pack, if the alphas words meant anything. Great.
