Chapter 58: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten

Max

The next day, I make sure to wake up early to make sure everything is in order. I haven’t been able to do anything for this in a week. I have had to sit by and watch her come to school with bruises and marks all over her. I know she has tried to hide them, but just the way she has been acting and by what she has been wearing I can tell. Things have been getting worse for her at home.

I need to do everything I can to protect my mate. I need to get her out of the horrible place that she has called home. That is not a home. Everything is almost in order, there is just one more thing that needs to be clarified. My dad is waiting on a call from the council, we need approval from them before I can be allowed to tell her she is my mate. They are taking longer than normal with making their decision which is odd. I just need them to hurry up and decide so I can have my mate with me. I miss her and she doesn’t even know she is my mate. This is what tends to happen in the werewolf community.

We tend to miss our mates when they aren’t around. The moment you find them, the need to be with them all the time is strong and if you can’t be with them, you get this uneasy feeling that begins to stir and that is how most wolves go crazy and lose their minds. But since I know she is close by and I know what our plan is, I’m doing okay for the time being.

My dad comes out of his office and finds me in the gym burning off some aggression and tells me that I need to get showered and ready for school. If I don’t get a move on, I’ll be late. I don’t want to be late; I want to be there before Josie gets there so I can walk her to class. I want to try and build a friendship with her so that when she finally realizes that we are mates, she won’t be so skittish around me.

I make my way upstairs to grab a quick shower and get dressed for school. I need to try and keep my olf calm, he has been bugging me a lot more lately with wanting to claim Josie as our mate, he just doesn’t understand the way the council runs things. I have to agree with him, but I must also follow the laws of the council as well, but with me getting ready to come into being Alpha of the pack soon, I am starting to feel the effects already. I just need to remember to stay calm. I must remind my wolf all the time that she will be with us soon, we just have to follow certain protocols for things like this. It seems to keep him calmer but not completely.

Once I am ready for school I get a message on my phone from Tiffany, and I am debating on even opening the message, I have a feeling she is going to pull some sort of trick to get me to take her to school again today, she has been trying harder and harder over the last week to get me to take her back, but she refuses to accept the fact that it isn’t going to happen.

I have been noticing that when we get out of my car people tend watch us like they are trying to figure out if we were back together or not and that is bad. I can’t completely ignore Tiffany because I am soon to be Alpha, and she is a member of the pack. But I also can’t have them thinking Tiffany and I are together; we are far from being together.

I can’t have her causing problems when I am finally able to tell Josie that she is my mate. My phone goes off again and I have no choice but to open the message and read what she has sent me.

Tiffany: Hey babe, you think you could give me a ride today? My car is acting weird again.

Tiffany: I sorry to ask at such short notice, but I don’t have anyone else to ask.

Yea right, she has at least three other people she could ask.

Me: Don’t call me that, and can’t one of your friends give you a ride? I have pack business to handle this morning.

I don’t really, nothing too pressing anyway, just waiting on the important phone call. But I still don’t want to be anywhere near Tiffany.

Tiffany: I suppose I can ask one of them, but I thought we could talk on the way.

Me: Tiffany there is nothing else to talk about, we are not getting back together. I really wish you would just drop this whole thing. It’s getting old and tiresome.

Tiffany: I’m sorry Max, I just really miss you and I thought we had a good thing going.

Me: Tiffany, you have always known it was never going to be anything serious, you knew this and it’s not my problem that you chose to ignore it. I’m done with this. Do not bring it up again.

Tiffany: FINE! Forget I even asked. You will regret this, Max!

This girl thinks that she will be able to threaten me. Is she serious? I think I need to keep a closer eye on her now. Make sure she doesn’t try anything, especially when the news comes out that Josie is my mate. I have a bad feeling about this whole thing. Tiffany can be dangerous if she is provoked bad enough.

As I make my way downstairs to have breakfast with my family, I get a text from my dad.

Dad: When you are ready for school come on down and we can talk about the situation, I got that phone call this morning.

Me: On my way.

I make it to the kitchen and my dad’s phone goes off once I step through the entryway to the kitchen, I can’t help but let a chuckle loose.

“Seriously Son? You couldn’t have just walked in here. You had to reply to my text?”

“Sorry dad, I thought it would be funny. What’s up? What did they say?”

My mom catches what we are talking about, and I figured my dad would fill her in, but I guess he didn’t. But when she asks, he quickly fills her in with the snippets of everything and says he will show her the video later.

“Oh my, That poor girl. What ever will you do dear?”

My mom has the biggest heart and anyone who is mistreated she practically breaks into tears and wants to make things better almost instantly.

“Well honey,”

My dad says looking at my mom and grabs her hand.

“I talked to the counsel this morning and they said that unfortunately we can’t risk telling her that Max is her mate, but we can keep an eye on her and try to keep her family as busy as possible to protect her as much as we can until her birthday which is only a week away. Once she is eighteen if she hasn’t figured out that Max is her mate, then we can tell her. But until then we just have to do what we can to protect her.”

I let out a deep loud growl from my chest, and my mom and sister can’t help but cower down and bare their neck to me. I can’t help it; this is not what I wanted to hear. My mate is in danger, and they are basically telling us too bad.

“Dad, are your serious right now? They can’t seriously believe that?”

“I’m sorry son, but we have to go by what the counsel says. I will do everything I can to keep her father busy with pack business and your mother will keep her mom busy.”

“What about her sister? For all we know her sister could be beating her too.”

“I can think of something.”

My sister Stephanie pipes in with a smirk on her face and I know she has something planned.

I look over to my sister and give her a smile and show her how thankful I am that she is willing to help.

“Thank you, guys, I’m sorry about earlier. I just can’t believe the counsel is acting this way.”

My dad jumps in also.

“I know son, but we will do what we can until then, it’s only a week away. You keep everyone in line at school and we will take care of the family.”

I give my dad a nod in understanding, and I stand to clean my plate of breakfast. I make my way around the kitchen to gather my lunch and everything else I need for the day at school.
