I walked around the restaurant smiling and being nice, and I knew I was meeting most of the pack. They all told me thier names as they ordered and told me that I would love what they were doing for my ceremony.
I heard a squeal and turned towards the door seeing Sabine throwing herself at a very familiar guy. I didn't shink back but I didn't advance. I simply kept staring, I couldn't believe it. "Come here I want you to meet Reese, she is the new wolf." Sabine grabed his hand and he looked up and right at me before growling and pulling her to a stop.b
"Reese." He growled out.
"Dean." I said simply and I heard Sabine asking how we knew each other.
"She attacked my sister in juvi." I heard gasps and rolled my eyes.
"Claudette attacked me first and I defended myself. How many times have I told you that?" I growled and dropped the empty tray when he lunged for me. He had wrapped one hand around my neck but when he started to squeeze I let my claws come out and as I clawed at him with one hand my other came around and popped his wrist and he pulled away Jack came out and helped Sabine calm him down.
"I think I better take you home now." Jack nodded at me and I just glanced at him, then back to Dean.
"This isn't over Paxton, when they ask who doesn't want you tonight I will stand up!" He growled harshly when Jack pushed me to go out back.
"Go ahead and try, I didn't ask to join this pack Harper! I was asked. Tonight it just a formality." I kept shouting until the door was closed up tight and I heard a growl.
"Get on the bike." Jack ordered and stuffed my hands with his only helmet.
He swung his leg over the bike and waited for me with a hard expression. I stuffed the helmet on, it was a little big, but I knew it would do the trick. I swung my leg over the back of the bike and put my hands on his sides and he revved the engine.
I heard a shriek when he pulled away but when I turned back I saw Gene and some guy hugging a few girls, must be her brother. Gene was basically stomping into the place and I wondered what her brother did to tick her off.
The ride to the pack house was short because of how fast he was going. I got off the bike as soon as he put his legs down and tore the apron and helmet off before shoving both in his hands.
"Are you quitting?" He called after me once the engine cut off.
"Aren't I fired?"
"No, you were defending yourself. We all know Dean is a hard ass. I just didn't think he would ever put his hands on a female. What did you do to his sister anyways?" He got off the bike and came towards me throwing the apron back at me.
"It was my first day there, I was still healing since I didn't have my wolf yet,and she kept kicking me, and elbowing me, anything that hurt me more than normal since I was still bleeding and bruised. But once she started whispering all the things I must have done to get there, she hit the spot when she said I attacked the alpha... and I lost it. I shifted a week before my birthday and attacked her." I shrugged and started backing up.
"You shifted a week before your birthday?" He asked and I nodded. "Most of the time only Alpha's can do that." He told me like I didn't already know that.
"I was pissed off." I said as an excuse and I just turned and kept walking.
"I expect you at work tomorrow morning." He called after me before I even opened the door.
"Fine." I waved him off and walked in side. I could hear a few people around but I walked towards my room up the stairs. I smelled a new scent and it was defiantly male, and I could tell it was Ian. I walked right into my room and saw that a couple things around it had been moved a bit and I smelled the alpha family. I followed the Luna's scent to the bathroom and saw all the stuff she was planning on doing to me in a few hours.
There was a pack of huge curlers and also a straightener and so bobby pins. There were a lot of makeup and my dress was hanging up near the toilet. I walked back out and into the closet and saw a pair of shorts and just shook my head, I went for yoga pants and a light tank top.
"Oh, your back! I saw Jack in the kitchen and I didn't know if that meant you were here or not." I heard the Luna and I walked out with a new pair of converse.
"Yeah..." I nodded at the alpha couple seeing them walking in.
"We noticed that Gene was back to wearing her old clothes." Alpha Greg Said and I nodded.
"And she was actually happy to see us this morning, even cooked all of us breakfast." Luna added and they were both looking at me and waiting for an explanation.
"I had a small talk with her last night. She didn't tell me exactly what was wrong but she said that she didn't want to be herself... I told her that she shouldn't hate herself because someone else didn't like it. I told her that if she only did this to get her anger out towards this person or group of people to meet me at the burger place today and we would come up with a way to vent it... but there was a small problem." I shrugged and slipped on my shoes.
"Who was making fun of her?" Alpha Greg asked and I shrugged.
"She wouldn't tell me. And she begged me not to make her. I think that it is best if she just forgets about the person who is making her feel bad about herself, that she just moves on." I told him and her and waited for a response.
"If you think that is best." The Luna nodded and I sighed.
"What do you mean there was a small problem? What happened?"
"I do have some history with one of the pack members that showed up there." I told the Alpha and he just raised an eyebrow.
"A male or female?" He asked and I cleared my throat.
"Male... Dean Harper." I stated and they both shared a look.
"What did he do?"
"It doesn't matter. He was sort of in the right in his mind anyway." I shrugged on a jacket and stuffed my hands in the pockets.
"What did he do?" The Luna asked softer and came towards me and moved my hair out of the way. "Did he choke you?" She asked and I backed away and moved my hair back.
"When I first got to juvenile hall I was still healing... his sister Claudette kept bugging me, hurting me, and I had enough when she kept asking me what I did to get in there. I transformed a week before my birthday because of her and I attacked her in rage. She almost died." I stated and took deep breaths before turning my eyes away from both of them.
"What happened to her after that?"
"She has life in there." I told them and they nodded at me. "He found out that it was me and since he was visiting his sister he asked to see me. We were between the 3 inch glass stuff all families had to do and he was threatening me." I shrugged and licked my lips.
"Does he know what his sister was doing to you?"
"I don't know." I said honestly and Alpha Greg nodded. "Am I in some sort of trouble?" I asked when they both sighed and seemed like they were trying to hide something.
"No Reese, you aren't. Dean is." I shook my head.
"He shouldn't be. Not because of me. I can handle myself." I almost begged.
"Fine, no one is in trouble, but we will tell him to stay away from you." Alpha Greg huffed and turned around bringing the Luna with him. I went to walk out behind them dead set on taking a run around the grounds in my human form.
"Nothing can happen to her Greg, nothing. We need her for Gene. After that- she can go." I heard the huff and then a groan. "I have a headache now."
I ground my teeth and walked back into the room I was so graciously given and looked around for a paper. I grabbed the bag the Alpha had given me and then pulled out a notebook before reaching for a pen.
Dear Rowan,
I'm finally out, and in a new pack. I was asked to join because the Alpha's daughter wasn't behaving well, and they wanted me to come here and fix her.
I think I have done just that. But I need to stick around here to make sure she is better. I just overheard them saying that after their daughter is fixed I can leave if I wanted.
I know you are only 16 now... how was your first shift? What does your wolf look like? What did momma and daddy say?
How are you and all your friends? How are you in school?
I don't blame you for not coming to see me, I know mom and dad were forbidden as were you. I was just wondering if you even wanted to see me.
I guess when I am done here I can look around at another pack. Maybe find one and join, and if you wanted to get away from Alpha Diaz you can come and stay with me.
Just a thought.
I miss you. So much.
Love your older sister,
Re Re.
I guess I have to leave when I get Gene back to normal. Once she realizes that a mate does not define you, then I can go. And stop giving the Luna headaches.
