Fling with an Alpha

chapter 7

If I was told a few hours ago that I would be in this position with my mom, I'd disagree because it seems almost impossible. I've never had any reason to panic unnecessarily while growing up. My father is a feared wolf in his prime, In Fact the strongest at some point. That's why his family didn't want him to marry a human because all those genes might go into extinction.

I agree because somehow it did, I'm barely stronger than a normal human. Well, the strength did convert into speed, I'm super fast. And I'm grateful my father took pride in that, he would brag about how fast his daughter is.

My mother’s whisper brought me back to our present predicament.

“Let's split, call me when you found something”

My heart jumped as I watched her go towards the backdoor, I gathered myself up and went to the main door.

I heard a loud thud, it came from the back, the direction my mom went.

“Who are you and why are you in my house”

I heard her soft but furious voice.

I ran as quickly as I could to assist her.

On the floor lay a guy I recognized, my mom had her gun pointed at him.

“Thomas?” I was shocked to see Celina's friend from the club. He looks scared.

“Ce.. Celina told me to watch you” his voice was shaky. His eyes were huge and red like he had seen death.

“For f**k sake boy, used the doorbell” my mom cussed and went back into the house.

I stretched my hand towards him and helped him up.

“She said you ain't picking up you call and I should make sure you get home safely, I didn't want to do it but she promised me some cake”

I looked at him with disgust. He had that cheeky grin on his face while he said,

“Why does your mom have guns like it's the apocalypse? I mean Guns are rare sight in the werewolf community”

I know he's here to know if I'm safe but I still wanted to hit him in the face, he annoys me so much.

“You can leave now, come on, I'll walk you to your car”

I led the way while he followed, still ranting like a starved kid.

I stopped right before the tiled road.

“Bye, Thank you”

I turned immediately and didn't wait for his response.

“Weirdo” I said to myself.

I dropped on the bed immediately as I entered my room, forgetting everything. I dozed off.

************************************************

A nauseating feeling woke me up and I rushed to the restroom. I vomited, it was loud and I heard my mom's footsteps. I knew she's coming to check up on me.

“Feeling dizzy, huh?” She said, one hand in her hips while the other on the door, over her head.

I grabbed my brush and started brushing my teeth. She stood there watching closely.

“I know you're pregnant”

I spat the water in my mouth and lost composure.

She smiled.

“I'm not pregnant mum, don't say that” I became defensive on the spot. My heart was already beating faster than usual.

She gave me a critical look while I continued brushing my teeth. I knew she was looking at me and I imagined she's convinced enough, probably she knows something.

“Uhmm, I am pregnant mom” I turned around immediately. I said this to get her reaction but she was gone. She went away before I even admitted.

“It doesn't matter then” I thought and continued what I was doing.

Celina dropped by my house, she was coming from her Alpha's house, she had told me through text that she was going to bond with him.

“Nice move with Thomas” I called out, my arms were folded and I stood on the pavement like a parent who is ready to reprimand her child.

“I didn't know he was going to be creepy, I was worried about you going home alone that late”

I shook my head vigorously, opened the door until she entered then I followed.

She was looking around like she had lost something.

“Is anyone home?” She asked, I could see the curiosity in her eyes.

“No?”

“There are rumors in town that your mom is a werewolf hunter”

“That weirdo!” I cussed.

Celina frowned.

“What weirdo?”

“The spy you had on me!” I was getting furious which is unlike me.

“Is this how I am going to keep getting attacked by you because I cared enough to have someone follow you home?”

I could sense the frustration in her voice.

“Well, your spy was trying to sneak into the house from the backdoor and now he's telling everyone my mum is a werewolf hunter, a caring friend indeed”

I could see the shocking look on her face.

“You've changed a lot within few days”

I went to the fridge to get some snacks.

“You want something?”

She didn't respond, instead she continued talking.

“I just want you let you know I'm not your enemy, I've been with you right from the start and I have never even betrayed you once”

“Well, you did last night” I replied while aggressively munching my snack.

Celina stood up and walked to the door, I could see tears in her eyes as she looked at me one last time before she exited.

I got up to apologize to her but my voice failed me, the feisty and sassy version of me is gone.

I watched her from the window, her car is a little bit tinted but I could still hear her soft sobbing. I felt disappointed in myself, My alpha doesn't want me, I am pregnant and I just chased my best friend away.

At this point I believe I'm paying through a lot more than my mother did. Celina is the only one who genuinely cares about me apart from my parents. I watched drove off. My eyes were getting heavy, I wanted to call her and apologize immediately but I just couldn't do it.

I sat down on the floor with my back rested on the wall, I screamed out till my lungs were aching. I cried my eyes out.
