Chapter 53: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Five

Chapter Five

Max

I’m another day closer to finding my mate, I’m another day closer to becoming the Alpha of my pack, and I’m another day closer to being done with high school. The sooner I accomplish all these things the sooner I will feel complete. My wolf has been getting more and more restless. I know why he has been restless, but I can’t do anything about it yet. I need to wait; I hate waiting but there is nothing I can do. It is against the law that the elders created many years ago to protect those who are minors. I know who my mate is, but I can’t say anything. I have been without her since I turned eighteen and I managed to figure out that she doesn’t know I am her mate, OR at least that is what I am assuming because she hasn’t said anything about it to me yet. But because of this stupid law I can’t say anything to her.

Our elders created a law that prohibits adult shifters from claiming their mates until both people have accepted each other and both parties have their wolves. Apparently, many years ago before my grandfather was Alpha, there were many adult shifters that would try to claim underage females as their mates, once the underage mates came of age and got their wolves, they would realize that the shifter that claimed to be their mate, was not really their mates.

So, the elders had to step in and create a law that would help protect underage wolves. Which is great, but I am not too fond of said law right now. Don’t’ get me wrong I completely understand why they did this, and I agree. But I am just frustrated because my wolf is becoming more restless every day and he just wants to claim our mate, but apparently, she hasn’t figured it out yet. I just need to find a way to help her understand that we are mates. I just need to figure out a way to do that.

As I am getting ready for another day of school, I hear my phone go off with yet another text message from Tiffany. I walk over to my phone as I roll my eyes wishing she would just get the hint and leave me alone. She and Heather both are impossible. They both need to realize that I will never be with either one of them. I can’t stand Tiffany, and she is driving me nuts, yes, she and I dated for a while, but I have come to realize that she is only with me to become my Luna, but that will never happen. Only my true mate can be my Luna.

After I have my shower and brush my teeth and style my hair, I make my way downstairs to have breakfast with my parents and my siblings. There is a total of five of us. I have two sisters, and two brothers, all of them are younger than I am. Only two of them are in high school with me. The rest of them will be soon enough. I am the oldest of all of us, and then there is my twin brother and sister Marcus and Stephanie, they are sixteen, they just got their wolf, and they are so excited to be able to shift with me and my parents, they are already showing how strong they can be. Then I have my two youngest siblings, there is Ashley who is ten, and Devon who is twelve.

They are all sitting at the dining room table eating breakfast waiting for me to arrive. Once I am sitting at the table my dad looks over to me and gives me the look that I know what question is going to come out of his mouth.

“So Max, have you found your mate yet?”

“I have dad, but because of the stupid laws the Elders created, I can’t say anything to her. She is going to be eighteen soon, but She hasn’t figure out that I am her mate yet. And I know I can’t say anything. I know we aren’t supposed to say anything until both parties have their wolves.”

“Wow son, congrats on finding her. I’m sorry that you can’t fully claim her yet. Do you know why she hasn’t figured everything out yet?”

“I’m not sure but I feel like something is going on with her that is keeping her from fully accepting everything. I can sense her wolf, so I know it’s not that, but I just can’t put my finger on it. My wolf goes crazy every time we are near her and I have to work harder than usual to keep him calm, I know something else is going on with her but she won’t talk to me about it.”

“What do you mean something is going on? Is there something I should know Max?”

“I don’t know what to tell you dad because I’m not even sure I know what is going on, I noticed a bruise this morning on her jaw and I tried to talk to her about it, but she wouldn’t tell me anything.”

“If there is something I need to know Max, then you need to tell me so I can take care of it. It is my job as Alpha of this pack to help anyone who needs it.”

“I know dad, But I’m not exactly sure what is going on. Just give me a few more days to see what I can figure out and I will let you know if I need you to step in our not.”

My dad takes a deep breath like he is hesitant to let me try to figure this out on my own, but then he gets a look like he knows I need to do this on my own. Especially since I am going to be Alpha one day.

“Okay Max. But you let me know the second you need me to step in. I will take over and make sure everything goes the way things should be going.”

“Okay dad. Thanks.”

I finish up my breakfast and clean my plate and place it in the dishwasher for my mom to clean up later. Then I walk over to my mother and give her a kiss on the cheek and pat my dad on the back.

“I need to get going. Love you guys. I’ll see you all later.” I look to my twin siblings, and I see they are getting up clean up and get ready to head out to school too, sometimes we ride together since we go to the same school, but. I think today they are going to take their car and I am taking mine.

“You guys at school.”

My sister looks at me and gives me a wave.

“Okay, See you later Max.”

Everyone else says bye to us in unison and we make our way outside to our own cars and climb inside.

Before I can pull out of the driveway, I get yet another text from Tiffany asking if she can have a ride to school, something about her car not starting. I roll my eyes and reply saying sure, I know her excuse is bullshit, but as Alpha I can’t really say no, if that is the excuse she is going with. After I made Tiffany clean all the bathrooms in the whole Packhouse yesterday for treating Josie the way she did, Tiffany seems to have learned her lesson, But only time will tell. We will have to see how she behaves today around school. She claims that she won’t mess with her, but that is yet to be determined.

I make my way to Tiffany’s house, and she is already outside waiting for me to pull up, before I can get my car in park, she is already opening the door and climbing inside, once she is inside and the door is closed, she sidles up right next to me and tries to give me her ‘I love you’ eyes.

“Hey baby, Thanks for coming to get me. I don’t know what is wrong with my car.”

I am trying not to show how disgusted I am by her being all over me. I know Tiffany is full of shit with this whole ‘her car not running’ bullshit. Her parents have more money than they know what to do with and her car is a nice brand new expensive something or other. I could care less what she drives so I know this is just another one of her ploys to get close to me.

I can’t stand being this close to her.

Ever since I found my mate.

I just want to be with my mate and keep Tiffany as far away from me as possible. But since I can’t say anything to my mate, I can’t say anything to Tiffany about how I found her too, Tiffany would have word spread all over school and she would make it seem like she was my mate, then I would have some serious damage control to do. I just can’t handle that kind of headache. I would rather not deal with Tiffany and her bullshit right now, But I do need to figure out a way for her to understand and to accept the fact that she and I are not together anymore, and we never will be again.
