After I Met You

Chapter 5

DYLAN.

"Whatever you say. Right, we're having another roommate today, he's also a transfer student like you."

Almost immediately the door creaked open, revealing another tall figure like myself standing at the door. I didn't need to look twice at him before realizing who he was. Gamma Jake.

"Oh hi" Finn beamed staring at him.

"Alpha Lycan?" He called out.

Shit! He just called me Alpha before Finn.

Finn turned to look at him and back at him, "You guys know each other already? And Dylan did he just call you an Alpha?"

"Uh no, I've never seen him before."

Immediately Jake understood, "Sorry I mistook you for someone else. Hi I'm Jake"

"Oh I'm Finn, and this is Dylan. We're your roommates."

"Nice to meet you both" Finn helped him carry his bag and other carton boxes to his own corner of the room. I couldn't help him because Jake is my inferior at the pack, after the Alpha is Beta and then Gamma. It should be him helping me, not the other way round, my pride and ego mattered.

FREDA.

I was back at the pack house, I wouldn't be here if I wasn't summoned.

"Father" I stood up to welcome my father, the Alpha of our pack, Moon pack. Instead I was replied with a slap across my cheek, my hair covering half of my face. I paused, placing my trembling palm on my burning cheek. The entire room fell quiet, they were probably already used to this.

"What were you doing with him again?"

So this is what this was about? Because I was with Lucian?

"Answer me!" He yelled. And I could see the court maids in the room shiver in fear.

"I... I had... he's just a friend, father."

"A friend? How can you be friends with that evil vampire creature? He is a threat to every wolf family, and yet you claim to be friends with him?"

"I'm sorry father" I mutter incoherently. Though I never meant it anyway. Lucian was the one I love and always will love.

"Get out of my sight, you incorrigible fool!"

Briskly, I walk out of the room to my room, ignoringmy mother's persistent call.

If there was one thing I have learned from Lucian, it would be: not showing your pain to anyone, pretending you are not hurt when actually you are in multiple folds. Safe to say my father haunts me.

When the rush died down, there was nothing but hurt and the stench of hatred. Hatred for my father, hatred for my mother for not speaking up to her husband, and hatred for werewolves and their stupid pack rules.

The bright lights in the room made my vision a bit hazy, so I closed my eyes; letting the tears well. My heartbeat was so fast that my chest hurt.

'Lucian, I need you'

DYLAN.

Watching the two boys pack and unpack made. me feel uneasy, so I stepped outside for air. Their energies were colliding with each other, even though Jake was a werewolf too. I was on a red hoodie and a pair of ripped jeans, my hands inside the pockets. I strolled out of the quarters, down to the school lobby. A motor bike suddenly rode past me, he was off down the narrow road at top speed.

After a couple of steps, I turned back heading to the male quarters.

"Dylan." I suddenly heard. I was so used to people calling me Young Alpha at the pack, that hearing Dylan from these people sounded strange. I turned to see who that was. Great, just who I wasn't planning to see, Chloe.

"Hey Chloe," I beamed in faux once she approached me.

"Where are you headed?" she asked.

"The male's quarters, why?"

"Just hoping we can hang out for a bit, and have a little conversation. Don't you think?" She spoke.

At her sentence I suddenly remember Freda Moon's card, and her conversation invite.

"Oh I have nothing doing anyway, so sure"

I and Chloe had branched at the school's coffee bay, talking about lots of things. Or rather me coming up with a lot of things on how my other college was, thankful to the few comic books I read in college life, I could give a reasonable story.

You talk too much. I wanted to tell her at a point. She randomly picks up any and every little thing, making a reasonable conversation about it; some of which are unnecessary though.

I had walked her down to the narrow road that led to the female quarters, and she was grinning from ear to ear. I didn't realize what she was going to do when she stood before me tiptoed, the next second she was placing her lips on mine and kissing me roughly. It lasted for 2 seconds exactly, yes I counted because I was trying to gain consciousness of the situation at that time before I pushed her.

"What the hell was that?" I shot at her.

She only giggled and jogged back to her quarters, not saying anything more.

Who the hell does that??
