The Bully Alpha's Defiant Slave

Chapter 11

Sandi

The next morning, right after we had our breakfast, my parents were already showing signs of anxiety at the thought of having to return to the school auditorium today. I was doing everything I could to appear unfazed by the situation, but... truth be told... the discussion my parents had had yesterday about this situation had left me feeling extremely on edge.

"You should take a shower and freshen up. You want to make a good impression with whomever it is we are supposed to be meeting with today," my mother said.

"We will all shower before we go. We have a great reputation in this town, and we will be maintaining it," my father stated, his voice confident and controlled.

"After we go to this meeting, we will come back here and immediately pack what we will be taking with us. I still want to leave this town and never come back," my mother told him.

"I know. I know. Geez woman. With the way you have been harping on about leaving here, do you honestly think I could have forgotten that you wanted to leave here?" my father asked her.

"Don't get fresh with me. You know why I want to leave here. You know it is the only way to protect our daughter," my mother retorted, tears in her eyes.

My father's eyes were on my mother. He just stood there staring at her without saying a word. A minute later, he just shook his head and turned away, walking out of the room and leaving me and my mother on our own.

"He doesn't understand," she whispered, as the tears began to trickle down her cheeks.

"He is just stressed out. Don't you get it? He is worried about the members of the community finding out your secret. But, at the same time, he knows that whatever happens, it will be out of his control," I told her.

"Nonesense Sandi. He is a man. Men are supposed to protect their families. What has he done to protect you? Nothing! That's what!" my mother huffed in annoyance.

I looked at my mother who was gazing down at the tiled floor of our kitchen. A moment later, she looked up, and her eyes met mine. We stared at each other for a moment in silence.

"What?" she asked, a tad defensively.

"I was just wondering," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.

"About what?" she asked.

"About how easily you cast the blame for your problems onto everybody else. You created the issue that dad is now stressing about. You created it when you brought me here. Now you are trying to put the blame onto dad when you are the one who created this mess to begin with," I stated.

My mother gaped at me. Her mouth hanging open is shock. Then she shook her head, almost like she was trying to clear it.

"Are you serious? Do you have any idea what would have happened if I hadn't brought you home with me that day? You would have died!" she bit out, her voice showing me the anger she was trying desperately to keep control of.

"Maybe so. And if I had, dad wouldn't be stressing himself towards a certain heart attack right now," I replied, as I stood up and walked out of the room, leaving her there, alone in the kitchen.

I looked around our little group of three as we stood in the same auditorium we had been in the day before for the school's graduation ceremony. As I looked around us, I couldn't help but feel excitement begin to grow inside of me. We were finally going to make our selection of the new girls today. Once the girls were chosen, they would have a false sense of security, created from being in a group. I had seen it so many times before. They tended to huddle together in their small group, trying to comfort and protect each other. I always got amused at their looks of open horror when they learned they were not going to be in the same locations. The looks of horror when they were separated gave both me and Steel a lot of enjoyment.

"Oh man, I am getting excited now," Caleb said, cutting into my thoughts.

"Same! Not long to go now," Liam agreed, looking happy with the thought of choosing the girls.

"So, do you have any girls you are keen to get a look at?" Caleb asked, his eyes meeting mine.

"I do. How about you?" I asked him.

"Oh, you know me. I would take anything that's on offer," he replied, laughing quietly. Liam and I laughed along with him in amusement.

"You are such a man w***e, Caleb," Liam stated, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Hey, in all honesty, what hot-blooded male in his right mind would turn down p***y when it is on offer?" Caleb asked.

"Any male who knows the true value of quality p***y," I told him.

"Sorry to say it Alpha, but p***y is p***y," Caleb stated, matter-of-factly.

"Guys, the families with the girls will be arriving soon. It wouldn't be a good thing if they were to overhear this conversation," Liam said, cutting into our conversation.

"You're right Liam, we should take our seats," I said, walking over to our seats. As soon as we were seated, I got the photograph out of my pocket and looked at it. It was a photgraph of the girl I had seen in the restaurant yesterday. Out of all the photographs of girls I had looked at. This photograph was the only one I had with me. The girl in this photograph was the only girl I wanted to take back to my pack with me.

We arrived at the school auditorium and walked into the building. Once we were inside, I noticed that there were only a handful of people in the building. We were shown to our seats and once we were seated, I looked at my dad and asked him, "How are you feeling?"

"Nervous. Worried. Anxious. But for the life of me, I couldn't begin to tell you why," he replied.

I didn't know what to say to that. What could I say to him? I couldn't just come out and tell him that I was probably about to be taken away from him by werewolves, could I?
