Lily POV
I went home and freshened up, taking a shower before finding some clothes to wear to the party. I quickly did my hair and make-up before rushing out of the pack house. Only to stop when I ran out of the Pack house and straight into my father. He turned around an amused expression on his face.
"Where are you going kiddo?"
"To hang out with Amber," I told him, giving him my best innocent smile. He looked down at my clothes. I was wearing a tartan mini skirt and a black singlet. I thought I looked fine, apparently not.
"Not like that you're not" What? Since when did he care what I wore? I went to walk past him, but his hand grabbed my arm.
"Go put something else on, I won't have you looking like a tramp around the Alpha" Excuse me, he did not just call me a tramp.
"Let me at him" I heard Layla pop her head up, aggression being her favourite emotion. "Shut up Layla, this is my dad" I told her.
"Lily I mean it. Go change now" He can't be serious, and which bloody Alpha? Reid doesn't give a rats arse what I wear. "Which Alpha?" I asked him.
"Alpha Damien Lily, now go change; he won't like seeing you walking around with unmated wolves wearing that"
"I thought he left and what's it to him what I wear? I will wear what I want. I don't have to impress some Alpha Dad, that's why I stepped down remember"
I heard him growl, annoyed at the attitude I was giving him. Usually, my father was a piece of cake to work around now, he was acting all different. I wonder what got under his skin.
"Either change or you're not going, Alpha Damien is staying until after your Eighteenth birthday. I don't want you embarrassing me" Embarrassing him, and since when did he start liking Alpha Damien? His father and mine were constantly at each other's throats when I was kid, so why the sudden worry of what he will think?
"Is that what he wanted to speak to you about?" I asked curious as to why he suddenly wanted to stay and not go back to his own territory.
"Yes, among other things. Now get changed or get inside, choose" I pouted annoyed before stomping back into the house. I quickly changed my skirt to a pair of jeans before running out once again, grabbing my car keys off the hall stand. Seeing my father still lingering on the front porch, I walked up to him.
"Better? Can I go now?"
"Yes, but bloody behave and no driving drunk" Shit he knew me too well, he knew I wasn't going to hang with Amber, well technically I was just not at her place. But at least he is still letting me go. I wonder why my father was suddenly trying to impress Alpha Damien.
I drove to Aria's Packhouse. I honked the horn twice, and Amber ran out, unfortunately so did Aria no doubt to give me a scolding and tell me what a bad influence I was being and yadda yadda. Amber had her black curly hair in a high ponytail and was wearing jeans and a blouse. What the fuck? Why is she wearing a blouse? I have never seen her dressed like this for a party. The look on her face showed she wasn't impressed over her attire. She hopped in the car looking just as irritated as me about having to change.
"Let me guess your father pitched a fit too"
"No, actually your sister did" She said, folding her arms over her chest and pouting. I went to put the car into gear when suddenly Aria was at my window. Reaching in, she pulled my keys out of the ignition. For real this can't be happening, what is it with everybody today.
"Whatever it is, I didn't do it. So, what do you want Aria?"
"Don't use that tone with me Lily, you're in enough trouble, I told you no more partying" I looked at Amber and she had a guilty look on her face. I knew she gave us away.
"Can I have my keys back?" I said, holding my hand out expectantly.
"Not so fast, if you're going out, you can take Alpha Damien with you" She said leaning in and looking at me.
"Excuse me I stood down, remember , and what's he going to do at a party full of teenagers, he's like forty years old. I am not babysitting no Alpha"
"A Very fucking hot forty" Layla said her voice echoing in my head before she started purring. "You are not purring right now Layla, what is wrong with you?"
"He isn't forty he is twenty- five, and this isn't an option, either he goes with you or you both stay here" she said looking between Amber and me
"I stood down Aria, so I didn't have to deal with Alpha's. I sure as hell don't want to hang with one" I yelled, my voice getting louder than I expected. Suddenly the back door of my car opened. And in hopped Alpha Damien. He no longer wore a suit but just jeans and a blue shirt, his muscles bulging showing off his tattoos.
"Well choose Lily I haven't got all day; you want to stand down as Alpha, I won't agree unless I see for myself why" He said leaning forward and waiting for my answer.
"That's why you want to hang out with a bunch of teenagers" I didn't mean to yell my emotions heightened by Layla acting like she was about to swoon at the sight of him, which only angered me. Why is she acting like that?
"Fine, but you annoy me once and I will leave your ass behind"
