My Alpha Soccer Player

Grumpy Alpha

I haven’t seen Kayla since she stormed out of Birdies in a hissy fit. I literally saved her from that guy all she had to do was thank me.

Allas I have decided to give her until I come back from home then I am budging in her room and calling her out for being an ungrateful little brat that she is. My mom is coming back for the weekend to check on me so im going back home. It sucks that I have to go but I’ve actually really missed my mom and Tammy. Even though they will most definitely give me hard time about the texts that are circulating online right now.

Luckily for me Jules is coming with me but Matty said he has a hot date so he is staying. Its good that at least one of my friends will be with me because as much as i like being home with my mom she is still actually working fifty percent of the time.

We are leaving in a few hours so as a last ditch effort to see Kayla I’ve convinced my friends to go chill with me at BP and get some drinks. Jules just side eyed me when I not so subtly suggested it but Matty was none the waiser. Nomarly he would have cought up with my plans but I think he is really into this hot date of his if he didn’t realise.

It doesn’t matter though because I know Kayla has a shift right now – im not a stalker I promise I just happen to know a girl from my pack who works there– and I am hoping that at least she will say ‘sorry for not thanking you for what you did for me oh handsome Alpha Alvin’ and then if I’m feeling gracious I will forgive her.

When were are sitted I don’t see Kayla anywhere I cant stop the disappointment from creaping in.

Disappointed because I want her to tell me she is thankful not because I want to make sure she is okay after what happened.

“dude she is clearly not here stop looking around before you twist your neck” Jules says shaking his head at me.

“who are you looking for” asks Matty finally looking up from his phone.

“no one I think we should just leave”

He looks up from his phone with a scowl on his face “what? I thought we were getting something to eat, im starving”

“youre always starving” Jules mummbles

“im a growing boy Jules. I need my food”

“okay,okay lets eat then”I sign. Maybe coming here was not such a good idea.

When were in a middle of our meal I finally get a glimpse of Kayla. My heart drops as fast as it started fluttering. She is standing with a guy I’ve never seen before and he seems a little bit older than her by not that much I think. She keeps laughing every five second, like he is some kind of a comedian or something. Jules finally sees what I am seeing and then sighing rather loudly. I get up from my seat the table shifts rattling the food and glasses on top of it.

“wait dude” Jules shouts but I ignore him “Alvin stop” I do only because the tone of his voice has changed from pleading to demanding.

This is crazy why am I feeling like this. We’re not friends, I don’t even know her. Why would feel this burning rage just because she is standing there with that guy.

I mean I don’t even like her.

I won’t deny that she is very beautiful, gorgeous even and like maybe the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen but, I mean, does that really matter is she is mean and ungrateful.

“lets go”Jules brings me out of my thoughts, tugging on my arm, when I don’t make a move to go with him he grabs my hand “you will make a fool out of yourself and embarrass yourself so please stop” I know he is right. I chance a look at Kayla but she doesn’t even realise I am here. I mean why would she, we are not even dating not even close to it. If I go there I’ll just make a fool of my self. Matty throws a few notes on the table following us.

“what the f**k just happened? I was not done eating” he grumbles. But we ignore him which just pisses him more.

“get ready to leave in thirty” I say to Jules and he just nods in understanding before going to his room to grab his stuff.

“dude what happened?” Matty finally asks.

“We saw Kayla with some dude”

“so?”

“so I’m stupid okay, I wanted her to thank me for protecting her from that guy but now I’m feeling weird after seeing her with that guy.” He just stares at me as if im the most ridiculous person he has ever seen “look I get it okay it could be a friend or a relative or something but im just pissed. she is on my mind and I can’t seem to get her out. She…I don’t know she…forget it”

“youre right you are being ridiculous and I think you should figure out what you want before throwing a hissy fit.” he claps me on the shoulder “okay?”

“okay”

Jules comes back carrying a bag slung over his shoulder and a cap on.

“I’ll call mom to ask if the driver will be able to get us”

Jules nods then says to Matty“have fun…but not too much”

Matty rolls his eyes “okay dad”

My mother says the driver is already here because he had to run a few errands for here so he will pick us up in fifteen minutes. We spend that time in silence , Jules leaving me with my own thoughts. But when we finally arrive at home mom and Tammy don’t give me the courtesy he did. They ask us very invasive questions about our dating life not that I have one and then proceed to talk about how those rich old man they had to deal with were a nightmare.

“he called me a little girl in front of everyone. How are people supposed to respect me when he talks to me like that.” She says slapping her hand on the counter top.

“I wanted to punch him on the throat” Tammy supplies.

“yeah well we can’t, we need him in order to get as many votes as possible in Johannesburg” she takes another sip from her glass of wine. “doesn’t mean I didn’t fantasise about the same thing though”

“please don’t go around beating up old man, I don’t really want to handle bailing you guys out of jail” I tell them only half joking because with these two you can never know.

“yeah, yeah.” Tammy dismisses me with a flick of her hand “so are you going to tell us what’s got you all grouchy and s**t”

“nope. Not going there with you too”

“what? Why not”she asks

“you guys like mendling and I got this under control. Sorry I’m not telling you” I shake my head to emphasize my point but Jules makes a show of coughing “what? I am!”

“just tell us hunny, were woman we’ll help”

“fine, so there’s this girl she infuriates me. She is mean and she makes me want to rip out my hair with pliers and like I don’t know I can’t seem to get her out of my mind”

“Oh my boy has his first crush I’m so proud” says mom

“What do you keep thinking about her” Tammy asks

“she is different I guess. Apart from my friends she is the only other person who doesn’t give a f**k about who I am.”I shake my head trying to get the image of her face from my mind.”we were at a party the other day and she got into an altercation with this guy and I helped her out as you have seen from the videos.” My mom opens her mouth to say something and I just know what it is “I know, I know I should have minded my own business .” My mom and Tammy share a look at that.

“then what happened”

“nothing she stormed out and we haven’t talked. I then saw her with a guy and I don’t know I started feeling like s**t”

“oh hunny that’s horrible. What’s with this guy being weird to this girl.” mom says patting me on the shoulder.

“its fine she is probably strong enough to deal with it herself it’s just that I didn’t want to let her be talked to like that. Something deep inside me couldn’t let her deal with that situation by herself. My wolf was going crazy”

“my baby” she hugs me rocking us back and forth and it feels good. Oddly enough I think about Kayla and what she would say if she were to see me like this.

I spend the the weekend with my mom and Tammy and I go swimming. I also go running with Jules shifting to our wolves and sparing but When the weekend is over and I’m back to practice I still don’t feel good about the situation between me and Kayla. We have a game today and mom and Tammy have decided to come and watch which is a big deal because ever since my mother became the leader she is almost always too busy to spend time doing things like going to soccer ball matches. Even this does not pick my spirits up which just makes me feel like s**t even more. We want to win every game we play this season and i want us to keep it like that for as long as possible.

“hey man you ready” one of our rookie defenders asks me while eying me up and down as if he is afraid I’ll tell him I broke something. He should know that I would still play even if that was the case.

“I’m good, I’m just getting in the zone”

“you’re wearing your jersey inside out” he points out and to my horror I am.

Shit.

This girl is messing with my head.

“thanks man” I clap him on the shoulder.

We play our worst game this season and I am ashamed to say I contributed to it being that bad by seventy percent. I got two yellow cards in the first half, missed two goals by a mile then proceeded to not pass the ball which resulted to the other team scoring. By the time coach pulled me out of the match the damage was already done.i was doing great till I saw Kayla in the stands with that guy and her sister sitting and maybe laughing about how horrible I was. The shame multiplies because I can’t stop thinking she only came here to make fun of me and instead of looking like I have my s**t together I fell apart.

I walk towards the locker rooms head held up even though I’m ashamed of the game I just played.my mom and Tammy did not care, They did not seem disappointed, just offered to cheer me up with ice cream which I politely refused.

I kinda want to be alone right now even though the guys would want me to go with them to Birdies so we can drown our sorrows. i’ll just drop in for a few then head out im not really in a mood for peopling right now.

As if the universe has some f****d up humour and decided that I would be its victim, I see Kayla and the guy she was with standing in front of the our lockers. I look behind me trying to come up with an escape plan, fast. But there is nothing I can do unless I want to go back and wait until they are gone but that just seems too obvious. And I’m not a p***y. I’m a mothefucken Walker. A powerful Alpha. This girl is doing a good job at making me forget that.

That won’t be happening anymore.

I have to put her in her place.
