Chapter 69: Book Two-Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Twenty-One
Chapter Twenty-One
Max
I can’t believe she said yes. I’m so happy Josie said she would go out with me. I can’t wait to see her in the morning, and I can’t wait to tell her that I am going to take her out tomorrow night for an early birthday dinner.
After I leave the school to head home to work with my dad on a few Alpha duties, I’m going to call Josie, but first I need to focus on my soon to be Alpha duties. When I make it home, I head straight my dad’s office, ignoring the fact that Tiffany is cleaning the main entry of the packhouse, I still can’t believe she has pulled all the bullshit she has. She knew from the very beginning of her and I’s hook ups that, that is all it ever was going to be. She knew she was never going to be anything more to me and she claimed to be fine with that, but I can see that was all a lie.
When I make it to my dad’s office, I make sure to knock loud enough so he can hear me and when I hear him yell to enter, I open the door and stick my head inside to make sure the coast is clear.
“Get in here son. You know nothing is going on except pack duties.”
“You never know dad, after that time I walked in on you and mom, a kid can never be too careful.”
“Yea, yea. Whatever son. Just get in here so we can get started. I have plans with your mother in a few hours.”
“Okay. So, what are you going to have me do today?”
He looks over whatever papers he has in front of him and shuffles a few of them around and then hands me a sheet of paper, When I look over it, it says there has been a couple of rogues roaming around our borders lately and our guards managed to capture one of them and they are being held in the dungeons.
“This is great dad, I’m glad we were able to catch one of them. What are we going to do with the rogue?”
“Well son, that is why I gave you the information. As soon to be Alpha you need to be able to assess the situation and determine what to do about it, and how to deliver the punishment. So, son, what do you think we should do?
“Well, I think after reading all that is given here, we are still missing some information. Like Why was he even here in the first place. What was so important for this rogue to find that he found the need to trespass onto our land. Did anyone find out why he is here?”
“No, the rogue is refusing to say anything.”
“Okay, well. I hate to say it but maybe we should use whatever means we can to get the information out of him.”
“I think that is a wonderful idea son. Why don’t I give Josh; our lead warrior a call and see what he can find out.”
“Sounds good to me. What’s next?”
“Well, one other thing I need to go over with you is what has been going on with Tiffany and you.”
“What do you mean? Nothing has been going on. I told her months ago that she will never be my Luna and that position will be for my true mate. She doesn’t know who it is, I have kept that information from her to keep her safe. She already has a hard time at school as it is.”
“I’m glad son. But I think Tiffany is having hard time taking no for an answer. Your sister says that all she ever talks about is you and how she thinks she is going to be your Luna.”
“Dad, I told her in the very beginning that it was never going to be like that, and if she can’t except it, then we will never be anything. She told me she was fine with it. But I understand now that she is nothing but a conniving little, she-wolf and I wish I never would have gotten into bed with her. In all aspects of course.
“Well son, I’m glad you have seen the error of your ways, but now you need to keep a close eye on Tiffany to make sure she doesn’t pull anything. I have a feeling if she is provoked far enough, she could do some serious damage. So, you need to have a method in mind for something like this. If someone is mistreated within our pack, by anyone. No matter who they are, you need to have a method of punishment lined up. I have my methods, but you being future Alpha, you need to find something that works for you.”
“Okay dad. I will think of something. I know I can’t take too long with that. Especially with the circumstances that we are dealing with. But I will think of something.”
After another hour of working with my dad, he lets me know that we are done for now and I get up to leave and head back to my room to relax for the night.
“Okay son. I think we are done for now. Why don’t you head out and relax or go find something to do for a while? I will finish up here and then I have to get ready for my plans with your mother.”
“Okay dad. See you later. Have fun tonight.”
“Thank you, son.”
I make my way out of my dad’s office and when I open the door to step out, I see Tiffany across the hall dusting the paintings hanging up. I don’t think anything about it because she is supposed to be cleaning, but when she turns to look at me, she quickly turns back like she was caught doing something she shouldn’t have been.
“What are you doing Tiffany? Why are you here dusting when there is still mopping and sweeping to be done in the main hall?”
“I’m just dusting the pictures like I’m supposed to be doing, I finished in the main entryway and the main hall. I’ll be done with my chores for today in about an hour.”
I simply just roll my eyes at her and walk away. I can’t stand her. She is so conniving, and I feel like she is up to something.
“Tiffany, when you’re done here make sure to dust the statues in the entryway.”
She lowers her eyes and says, “Yes Alpha.”
After I give her the order, I make my way to my room. I want to get in a bit of rest. When I get to my room I walk straight to my shower and turn it on. I want to grab a shower before I climb into bed for a while.
After I’m showered, I lay down and I feel my eyes begin to close. I know I need to do some of my homework but I’m just too tired right now. I start to drift off when suddenly, my phone starts ringing and I’m too tired to answer so I just ignore it. When it finally stops, I start to drift to sleep again but it starts ringing again and I start to become annoyed, I let it ring until its stops. I close my eyes to try and fall back to sleep. But that doesn’t happen because it starts to ring yet again. I sit up from my bed and lean on my elbow and reach over to grab my phone, I answer the phone without looking to see who it is.
“WHAT?”
“Max, It’s Sarah.”
“Yea. What do- “
“It’s Josie. I think something happen to her.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know, she got a note from you today at school asking her to meet you on the football field almost an hour ago and she tried texting me—”
“Wait. What do you mean she got a note from me? I never gave her any note.”
“Max. It doesn’t matter right now just meet me on the football field. I think Jo is in trouble.”
“I’m on my way.”
I stand up to gather my clothes and when I think back to what she said, I realize she said an hour ago. When I look at my clock, I realize it’s almost ten o’clock at night. What the hell? Where did the time go? I guess I was tired. I quickly run out of the pack house and shift mid-run into the woods to get to the school football field much quicker.
When I finally make it to the forest edge across from the school I quickly shift back and grab a pair of shorts that we keep stashed away for things like this.
Before I even make it to the field, I smell blood and it smells like a lot. I run faster and I see something laying in the middle of the field and I stumble in my pace to get there and when I get close enough, I lose my breath at what I see.
