His and hers

Chapter 6

[Serena]

When I woke up I felt a heavy arm wrapped tightly around my waist. I tried to move but I was pinned down “Alex?” I muttered in confusion. He groaned and leaned further into me. I looked towards the door and saw that it had been kicked in. “Alex “I said, trying to wake him up. I managed to turn myself around so I was facing him and looked into his face. My heart skipped a beat and before I knew what I was doing my hands slowly caressing his face. His eyes slowly opened and a smile was on his face. “Good morning baby “he whispered and I rolled my eyes. I tried to get up again but he still held me against his chest. “Let me go!” I demanded and he sighed, eventually complying. I jumped to my feet and sat in another lounger that was positioned across the room. “Come back over here” he whined and I shook my head. 

“I am waiting for an explanation” I replied.

“Well you know that I’m ...  I’m a werewolf. You are my mate or as humans would say my soulmate. I love you so much Serena and I would never ever hurt you” he said as he got up and started walking towards me. He sat next to me and was watching for my reaction. I was staring at him in shock. “There is no way soulmates exist” I stated. He leaned over towards me and kissed me on the cheek, I shuddered when his lips connected to my cheek because it felt so good. “I know you feel it too” he replied smugly.

“What about that wolf from last night” I asked cautiously.

“It was a rogue and I was under Alpha’s orders to kill him.”

“Rogue? Alpha?” I asked confused.

“A rogue is a lone wolf and that one was across our pack territory. My dad is the Alpha of this pack. Alpha meaning leader of the pack” he stated, not taking his eyes off of me. I put my head in my hands and sighed. “What are you thinking?” he continued. 

“How crazy this all is. What am I still doing here? Sitting next to a bipolar werewolf” I told him honestly.

“Bipolar werewolf?” he asked with a smile on his face. 

“Yes on that night one second you were really nice and then the next you turned scary”

“Oh you mean my wolf. I wasn’t scary it was Ryder, my wolf” I gave him a confused look and he continued “ I turned for the first time on that full moon so I first met my wolf and he didn’t mean to be scary to you. We have two halves after we turn, our wolf and the human. Whenever our wolves take control, it’s like our whole body regenerates, it’s quite cool.” 

“Oh, well I don’t really like your wolf much, he is too scary” I replied and watch his face drop and his eyes flash from their normal hazel to black and back again. I moved back slightly and Alex grumbled “I’m sorry, Ryder really wants to talk to you and apologise. He really cares about you as well. He let me have control most of the night because he was scared of hurting you or scaring you.”

“Not yet, I need time to process all this information. I promise I will meet Ryder properly another time” I said almost feeling bad for making him sad. He nodded at me with a distant look on his face. My phone rang abruptly, breaking the silence. I answered it and was immediately greeted by my dads gruff voice shouting “where are you Serena?”

“Um, hi dad. I am helping Alex do some homework” I replied calmly. 

“You have to tell me next time. I want you to come home now.”

“Ok, dad. I’m coming now” I said and ended the call. I looked up and Alex looked really sad so I said to him “ it’s ok. I will see you at school tomorrow.”

“I won’t be in school tomorrow, or for at least another month because I have to learn how to control myself and get ready to be the next Alpha. Promise we will still see each other because my wolf will go crazy without you” he replied while pulling me into a hug. 

“I promise.”

[A month later]

It has been weird not having Alex with me at school, but recently I have found a new group of friends: Jared, Garrett and Harvey. Them boys are so funny and nerdy like me. I can’t believe I hadn’t met them yet. Each day after school, I went to the pack house (where Alex lived) to see him. After a month, his muscles have grown bigger and he is a lot stronger. I had been seeing a lot more of his family and they were all really lovely. This particular day his mum asked if I wanted to try to calm him down because I am the only one that can and I should know what to do in them types of situations. I agreed and she led me down to where Alex and some other pack members where training. Alex immediately stopped what he was doing and ran straight towards me, picking me up in his arms and giving me the biggest hug. “I missed you so much” he whispered in my ear.

“I missed you too. How are you getting on?” I answered.

“I am doing good. Dad said I should be able to come back to school tomorrow.”

“That is amazing. You can finally meet my new friends” I squealed. He nodded and we were interrupted by the alpha calling Alex back down on the field. His mum gave me a small nod, letting me know that everyone knew what she wanted to do. Alex was called to spar his friend Nick and because he was the alphas son he would easily defeat him.
