Chapter 50: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Two

Chapter Two

Josephine

When I make sure there is no one around to notice me, I quickly walk up to the car and open the door to see a face that bring a small smile to my face and makes my morning just a little better. She greets me with a big toothy smile. She is beautiful. I think she is much prettier than I am, but she and I just agree to disagree she and I are both about the same height, but she is couple inches taller than me, and she has light brown hair and brown eyes. She has curves too but according to her they aren’t as luscious as mine. Or so she says she is the sweetest person; she is always taking my side on everything. I don’t know what I would do without her.

“Hey Sarah. You didn’t have to wait for me you know. I could have made it to school on time.”

“Yea, right. When I realized what time, it was when you first came outside, I knew there was no way you were going to make it to school on time.” She is right though, I would have never made it to school on time, and if I ended up late to class the teacher would have made a call to my parents and I would have been punished, even if my being late was because my mom felt the need to hold me back to yell at me this morning. Sarah is the only person that knows I have my wolf, I told her a couple years after I found out. She was really mad at me for keeping it from her at first, but then she realized that she is all I have, and she forgave me, and she has been helping me keep this secret ever since.

“Sarah, you need to be more careful. If my mom would have seen you sitting here, we both would have been in so much trouble. I can’t have you getting into trouble because of me.”

“Josie, I won’t get into trouble. You know that no matter what; your parents can’t do anything to me. I just wish you would let me tell my dad what is going on. He can talk to the Alpha, and we can help you.”

Sarah is always looking out for me and always trying help me. I wish I could let her tell her dad, but then that would mean my parents getting into serious trouble, and yes, I hate them for the way they treat me, but they are still my parents. I figure once my wolf tells me when I can show everyone I have her then maybe things will change with my parents, and they will love me gain. They used to be sweet and caring, loving. They used to do everything for me. Once I got older and they realized my wolf hadn’t come, or so they think. Things started to change and that’s when my life became this horrible experience. I just need to hold out a little longer until my wolf will let me tell everyone.

“I know you want to help me Sarah, but I can’t let anything happen to anyone. I know I should hate them for the way they treat me, but they are still my parents. They weren’t always this mean to me.”

She takes a deep breath and releases a deep sigh.

“Okay Jo, I won’t say anything for now, but if I notice things start to get worse. I won’t hesitate to say something. I worry about you. You’re my only friend and I can’t let anything happen to you.

“Okay Sarah. Thank you. You’re my only friend too and I don’t know what I would without you.

We finally make it to school and make our way through the main doors and towards my locker to get my books for my first class, but I’m stopped in the main hall by Max. I know I shouldn’t even be near him, if Tiffany found out, she would have a total meltdown. She loves Max the same way Heather does, but the only difference is that She was the one dating Max for a while, I’m not sure what Max saw in her, but whatever.

See he is the most popular guy in school and all the guys want to be him and all the girls want to be with him. He is tall, like well over six foot with dark hair almost black in color with pretty, blue eyes that have flecks of green in them. He has the sweetest smile that will make any girl melt. And the kicker is that he is going to be our new Alpha soon. That’s right his father is Alpha Thomas, and Max will soon take over as soon as he finds his mate. Max has been eighteen for a while now and he has yet to find his mate. Maybe she isn’t even within our pack. But I can’t help but look him up and down. He is gorgeous. Any girl would be blind to not notice how good looking his is.

And by the time I look to his eyes to apologize for running into him he has this smirk on his face like he knew I was checking him out.

“Sorry Alpha, I didn’t see you there.”

His response is a bit delayed, but I can tell he is enjoying how flustered he makes me, like he does it on purpose.

“It’s okay Josie, mornings are a bit rough for me too.”

I give a small smile and go to move around him to continue to my locker to switch out my books.

“Alright, well I guess I’ll see you later then.”

But when I turn to go around him, he follows and blocks my path. His smirk is back, why must he do this to me, if only he knew how hard he is making life for me right now.

“Alpha, please I need to get my books for class.”

His response is not delayed at all this time.

“I just wanted to make sure you were, okay?”

What does he mean?

Does he know what my life is like?

Has someone told him?

“I’m not sure what you mean Alpha?”

“Please, call me Max, and what I mean is, I can tell something is wrong, there is bruising on your jaw and your breathing isn’t what it usually is. So, I’ll ask again, is everything okay?”

Oh crap, his wolf must be telling him something is wrong why can’t they just let me be and leave me alone.

“Umm...Yea, I’m fine. Can I go now?”

His jaw tightens and he knows I’m lying, his fists clench at his sides and he is trying to stay calm, but he can tell I’m lying. I know I should just tell him; he is going to be a good alpha one day and he will be kind, and just and punish those who do wrong. He may be the most popular guy in school, but he isn’t mean to anyone. He isn’t overly kind with me, and we don’t hang out together or anything, but he is still nice to everyone.

“Yea, but I just want you to know, you can tell me if something is wrong. Just because I’m not Alpha yet doesn’t mean I can’t help you. I will help you anyway I can, I just need you to be honest with me.”

I give him a small smile and a slight nod as I walk around him and continue to my locker to get my books. As I’m switching out my books, I feel someone come up behind me and I tense for a moment until I realize it’s just my best friend Sarah.

“Hey Jo, what was that about?”

I don’t really want to tell her about my run in with max this morning but as soon as I delay my response, she seems to figure out that I’m stalling.

“Jo, what happen? What did Max say?”

She already knows what happen with my mom this morning from our ride to school together once we got to the main building, we went our separate ways to get out books on our own to cut down time, so we won’t be late for class, so she missed everything that just happened with Max. So, me being the wonderful friend I am I fill her in on everything.

“Maybe you should tell him Jo, he seems like he really wants to help you. Don’t push away the people who genuinely care for you to cover for those people.”

I can’t help but whip around and stare her in the face and tell her.

“I wish it were so easy to just tell everyone how horrible those people are and how I wish I could get away from them. But where would I go? I have no money, no place to stay, and I would have nothing. I can’t rely on anyone else but myself.”

The look on her face makes me regret even opening my stupid mouth and saying anything at all, the look of hurt on her face shatters my heart.
