C7 Chapter Seven

CHAPTER SEVEN

I still feel pissed off with how things went with Scar.. I could not believe that I had lost to a fucking Werecat.. Last night I decided to take up the human from the Coffee Shop on her.. offer.

And of course, it was as boring as I expected.

Humans were not as.. fun as Werewolves.. we definitely liked sex a little rougher than they could actually handle.

I peeled myself off of the damp bedsheets to the human’s bed and got up to leave.

‘Where are you going at this ungodly hour, Alex?’. She pouted, pulling on my bare arm slightly.

I scoffed in response, as I regarded her; her black hair now hung messily over her shoulder.

Thick beads of sweat ran down her bust and I shook my head.

‘I have to get to work, sorry honey’. I smiled sweetly.

‘Will I see you again?’. She blushed slightly.

‘It is unlikely’. I scoffed.

She stared at me in disbelief.

‘Did you hate last night that much?’.

I rolled my eyes and peeled her off of my arm and began to get dressed.

‘I have a wife’. I added, which met me with a look of hatred.

I scoffed in response; she did not need to know that my wife was out of the picture.. or that we were actually divorced.. this was how these kind of things went.

‘You are a cold bastard! I hope your wife finds out!’. She glared at me.

‘Yeah, me too’. I laughed, as I began to walk away.

And with that the blinding light of the sun hit my eyes and I kept on walking..

I wonder out of ten how pissed off Freya is going to be with me.. she is such a jealous little thing.

The minute I got out of my shower, I hung a towel loosely around my waist and walked into my Bedroom.

My phone made a pinging noise on my bedside table and I sighed, walking over to it to read my text.

LACEY: Scar is on her way over.. I hope the shopping list is ready. L x

I frowned at her text.. Lacey was still adamant that she would prove that she never betrayed me.. so she was giving me a warning that Scar was on her way over.

Scar has barely been in The Pack House ever since she chose Leonard and not I.

I still feel a little angry about it, but he definitely won her love fair and square. I just dislike this feeling of jealousy.

I took a deep breath as I put on black jeans and a white shirt.

I sighed staring at my Noble tattoo in displeasure; it is of a large Alpha wolf standing on a hill surrounded by smaller wolves.. staring up at the moon, about to start ‘The Calling’.

Its eyes are red, showing off the fact that it is an Alpha.

The Calling is an old traditional hunt where we all hunted any animal we desired, until early morning. The Alpha always went for the biggest kill.

The Alpha would then call his wolves back once it was over. It was simply put a way to relieve stress and feel free.

I shook my head and walked downstairs.

Scar was sat down on the sofa with Kane.

‘Speaking of Bailey.. how is the pregnancy coming along?’. She grinned.

‘I am worried she is eating too much and is going to pile on the pounds’. He joked teasingly.

Scar stared at him awkwardly.. Bailey was behind him, about to sneak up on him. And now she had the angriest look on her face.

Scar began laughing and Kane got the biggest whack on the back of his head; he groaned in agony, as the dull thud was heard echoing throughout the room.

He winced in response.

‘You could have warned me’.

Bailey grinned at Scar and plodded over to her side, hanging off her shoulders embracing her.

‘I missed you so bloody much.. do you see the shit I have to deal with?’.

Scar laughed and hugged her back.

‘I missed you too! Besides a bit of fat is good for us’. She winked.

Bailey rolled her eyes.

‘Assholes, I am not fat!!’. She growled.

‘Just a little chunky’. I laughed, playing along, standing in the corridor with a cup of coffee.

Bailey grimaced and walked away stomping her feet, as Kane laughed and ran after her.

Freya stood closely behind me with messy hair.

Scar laughed in response, clearly assuming that I had just had sex with her.

But in truth, she has been with someone else.. I could only just hide my surprise as she smirked at me.

Freya ignored Scar’s look of disapproval..

She scratched her head a little.

‘I missed you babe’. Freya muttered sadly, as she gave Scar a squeezing hug.

I cocked my head to the side slowly and grinned mischievously.

‘You know, I am into threesomes’. I winked flirtatiously.

Scar grimaced in response and Freya laughed nervously, whilst fiddling with a loose strand of her hair.

‘I would not mind’.

She grimaced at both, Freya and I, as we both burst into laughter.

‘You both are disgusting’. Scar muttered.

I laughed and Freya shrugged, as she wandered over to make coffee.

Scar looked like she has something on her mind but chose not to speak.

‘Do you mind if I have a chat with Freya quick?’. She smiled at me.

‘Scar, I uh.. could do with a chat with you actually’. I smiled awkwardly, as I looked at her.

She let out a deep sigh in response.

‘Give me ten minutes, please’. She muttered.

I nodded, as I began walking over to My Office; I stopped walking and turned around, watching just how this would play out..

Scar walked up to Freya and smiled awkwardly.

‘Freya, could I get some coffee?’. She smiled happily.

She scoffed at her in response.

‘Do you not know how to make it?’

‘Humour me’. Scar grinned.

Scar sighed.

‘Look, Alex is all yours, I am with Leo.. you know that’.

Freya rolled her eyes and then scowled at her.

‘Then stop coming here, like a fucking lost puppy’. She snapped.

I frowned slightly at their exchange.. the hostility was really not needed and Scar barely visited us as it was without the hostility.

I shook my head and walked over to the chair of My Office.

Scar walked into My Office and regarded me awkwardly, as I sat on my desk and she sat on one of my chairs.

‘Everything okay with you two?’. I muttered, frowning slightly.

She glared at me.

‘Me and Leo are not your concern’.

I could not help but laughing to that.

‘I meant you and Freya, Scar’.

She sighed in response.

‘She hates me because she thinks I am going to steal you away from her’.

I raised my eyebrows and grinned flirtatiously at her.

‘You could very easily. I will not deny my attraction to you. I would even date you in public’. I winked at her.

She winced at me, blushing slightly.

‘I only have feelings for Leo’.

I shrugged with a slight disappointed expression on my face; there is no point hiding it.

‘What did you want to talk to me about?’. She sighed.

‘Straight to business as usual, hun’. I winked, but soon laughed at her facial expression.

I paused, as she glared at me.

‘It is about my war with Leo’. I muttered.

She gasped.. and her face went even paler than usual.

‘Y-es?’. She looked down sadly.

She sighed deeply.

I could not resist laughing, as I ruffled her hair.

‘I know how you feel about him. I would never make you choose a side, hun’.

She went wide eyed.

‘Then what?’. She glared slightly.

I cleared my throat, as I slowly spoke to her.

‘You are in the middle, I was hoping you would ask Leo to meet with me when it is convenient. With his brother on the war path, we need to have a stable alliance, or at least we need to be neutral towards each other’. I spoke with a smile.

Her face went from unhappy to a big happy smile and she nodded.

‘I will ask him when I finish my work’.

As she was leaving the house, I decided to call out to her again.

‘Do not be a stranger, ok? Visit whenever you fancy it’.

She smiled in response.

‘Of course, Alex’.

I then walked her back to the front door and then I pulled her into a hug and then ruffled her hair, whilst laughing.

She scowled before everybody ran out and threw her into a big group hug.

It was oddly, such a sweet moment, at least for us Shifters.

I sat at the Kitchen table, drinking a coffee, when Leonard came rushing into My Pack House.

That was quick.

I scoffed.

‘Good afternoon Leonard, Scar is not here, I am Kane by the way’. Kane grinned politely.

Leonard grabbed him by the throat and then Drew, Freya and a few more lower less important members began to surround him, snarling.

I raised my eyebrow in both interest and confusion in response to his random angry demeanour.

‘I do not give two shits about who you are, I need to see Alexander, urgently’. Leonard glared at all of them.

I stood and began to clap at the entrance to the Living Room.

Leonard grimaced, as he released his hold on Kane’s throat.

I looked at my members coolly.

‘I am good here, leave us’. I muttered.

Leonard scowled at my cold gaze.

‘To what do I owe your unfortunate company, I mean I know I had a talk to Scar about meeting with you but I did not mean right now today’. I spoke in a sarcastic tone.

‘Scar has been taken by Lorenzo. I have no idea what meeting you are talking about’. He snapped, angrily.

I frowned at him, feeling confused.

‘Hold up, she was literally here an hour ago’.

Leonard grimaced in response.. but soon sighed sadly.

‘Well she has been abducted, so use your weird tracking abilities and find her’. He snapped.

I cocked my head to the side at the feeling of his challenge and careless tone.

I then regarded him menacingly.

‘Watch your tongue, Leopard’.

He grimaced, forcing himself to lower his head slightly in apology.

‘Please, Alexander. I do not care about our issues, just help me find her’. He looked to the floor sadly and I simply nodded in response.

‘I will grab my fastest and best Trackers. Give me a moment, Leonard’. I sighed softly.

He simply nodded with a sad look on his face.
