Skye's Pov
"Why exactly do we have to go as well?" I ask Henry as he continues to drive.
"Skye behave," Ben tells me as he looks at the road and tightens his grip on his seat belt.
I look at the window and sigh as I cross my arms. just because Ben wants to go it doesn't mean that I have to go as well, but knowing the i***t of my brother, if I'm not there he will surely make a fool of himself again.
I hit my head on the door of the car as I try to get rid of the headache that is taking over me.
Henry was suddenly called this morning by the old guy that he interviewed last night and began to scream early in the morning as he woke Ben and me up.
I don't really understand why Ben and he are so excited to see a seventy-four-year-old man. Although he's still taking care of his pack at that age while his son is taking care of another I still find it sad. I mean at that age he should be worrying about the next Bingo game that's being held by his community in order to entertain the old instead of worrying about rogues.
"you aren't any fun," Henry says as he brings me out of my thoughts. I continue to stare at the window when I realize that he's talking to me.
"You'll be nice, right Skye?" Ben asks me as he turns to look at me.
I stare at him for a second or two before swallowing hard "yeah, I'll behave." I say as I look at him smile. "so just worry about making a good impression."
He looks at the front as he continues to smile.
"We are here," Henry says as he parks in front of an enormous packhouse.
"what the hell?" I ask as I get out of the car. "how f*****g big does a packhouse have to be?"
"Watch your language, Skye," Henry tells me as he closes the door to his vehicle. "We need to leave a good impression here."
"yeah but- I mean-" I stare at the mansion with my mouth open widely "this could be a freaking amusement park."
"I see you have all arrived!" the old man who invited us walks out of the mansion and greets Henry. He turns to shake Ben's hand as he says "you must be Ben."
Ben smiles and shakes his hand as he nervously answers "y-yeah"
"and you must be-" he turns to look at me but I turn away from him and walk away from him a bit. "Skye" I hear him almost whisper as I feel his eyes on the back of my head.
"I'm sorry," Henry says as he sounds nervous "she's not the friendly type."
The old man bursts out laughing and I turn to look at him "you don't have to worry about that. My daughter was the same. A wild person who couldn't be controlled no matter what."
I turn my body towards him as I observe him intensely. "It seems that you are more similar to her than I previously thought," he says as he turns to speak to Henry.
"now please come inside and be my guests for the day," he says leading Henry inside of the house as Ben follows from behind.
I follow behind Ben, slowly and unwilling as I try to control my anger from showing.
"what's wrong?" Ben asks me as soon as we are inside the mansion.
"Nothing," I say as I continue to walk with my arms crossed.
he stops me as he holds my arms with his hands in order for me to look at him directly. "I can feel your anger." he says as he lets go "so what's wrong?"
I look up at the wall behind him as I breathe out while I pull my hair behind my ears. "I don't like it, Ben."
"don't like what?" he asks confused.
"he keeps comparing me to his daughter and saying things like I'm similar to her. I feel like that's who he sees me as." I rub my temples "he doesn't even know me yet he says that he understands me."
Ben stares at me for about a second before I get this twisted feeling in the pit of my stomach. 'He's nervous'
Ben suddenly looks at the other end of the hallway and he freezes.
I sigh as I try to focus on one emotion but I fail once I'm hit with the nervous yet sad and loving emotions that Ben is feeling right now.
I roll my eyes once I see the human girl who we met yesterday stand there and just stare at Ben.
"let's go," I say to Ben as I push him towards the door where Henry walked in with the old man.
Ben just walks past her as she turns to look at him with a sad expression. 'a good thing that we aren't here to see her.'
we are currently sitting in front of a feast fit for a king and queen, the food looks extremely appetizing.
As for werewolves meat is a delight for our tastebuds but I turn my eyes towards the fish dishes and bite my lower lip as I embrace the delightful smell of fruits and spices mixed with shrimp and other kinds of fish.
now normally I would be digging into the food like a pig but there's a problem right in front of me.
we are currently sitting with the alpha who invited us and with the Alpha of this specific pack and his family. generally I wouldn't be so troubled but since the human girl and her family are sitting at this table along with her fiances family as well I want to scream and throw the table across the room.
After a taste of the food I delightfully grab some more but my mood quickly changes as I begin to get this bland taste in the food. My senses drop as I tap on the plate and stab the food with a sigh.
It's not the fact that there are too many people at this table that troubles me, hell with this table we could fit a whole army since there is so much space.
what pisses me off is that I keep seeing the human girl and my stupid brother glancing at each other.
It turns out that her family and her fiance were invited as well since one of the families seems to be close to the alphas family.
'how the hell do none of these retards notice? it's so obvious'
I try to ignore the tension that these two morons are giving off as I grab my fork and begin to eat some chicken from the pasta that I have on my plate.
I try to concentrate on getting my taste back by eating something other than fish but nothing works, Bens feelings are completely blocking mine and the possibility of me being able to enjoy the food.
"you aren't going to eat?" Henry asks Ben as he reaches out to put his hand on his shoulder.
"oh yeah." Ben says as he grabs his fork and begins to eat.
I sigh feeling relieved that Ben is back to his senses but I freeze the moment I hear the human girl laugh at something that her fiance said.
'you couldn't keep your damn mouth shut now could you?'
I continue to eat as everyone else continues to talk to each other.
suddenly I begin to hear the sound of metal hitting a plate. I turn to look at Ben who is now looking at his plate with a pout as he sighs.
"Ben." I whisper softly but he ignores me as he looks at his plate. "Ben," I say a little louder but he ignores me again. he doesn't even twitch when I say his name.
at this point I am beyond Angry, I grab my glass of water and begin to drink from it as I try to calm down but it doesn't work. instead, I get pissed off at the fact that this stupid glass of water looks like a wine glass and that the amount of water that fits in it, is not enough to calm me down.
I quickly get up and I throw the cup of glass on the ground right besides Ben. everyone suddenly becomes quiet and I see Ben barely realize that everyone is quiet and that I'm standing angry on my side of the table.
I move towards Ben and I punch him out of his chair.
"Skye! what are you doing?" Henry screams at me with an angry tone in his voice.
"stop pitying yourself and do something about it!" I scream at Ben as he holds his cheek and looks at me confused.
I move towards Ben and I grab him from his shirt as I pick him up. "tell henry!" I say as I push him towards the table.
"Tell me what?" Henry asks as he looks at me and at Ben worried.
Ben looks at the opposite end of the table and then he looks at Henry with a worried expression. "I- I" he stutters as he looks at the human girl and sighs deeply "I found my mate"
At that moment everyone in the room freezes and I sigh out of relief.
'that's all you had to do dumb-ass.'
