Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 20

BECKY.

I knew my parents would be mad if they found out and that I was taking a risk by disobeying Alpha Stone. Well, sort of, I mean, I hadn’t actually told her anything, really. He’d probably still punish me, though.

AMBER.

I got back from shopping and there was a note waiting for me. What did it mean? What do I need to know about Lakeside? I closed the door and put the shopping away. I sat on the sofa and was about to pull out the book from my bag when I smelt something strange. There was a smell of apple and cinnamon. It definitely hadn’t been there earlier. I felt uneasy. I was pretty sure someone had been in here while I was gone, but who? And why?

Before I had time to think about it, there was a knock at the door. Ellie was here, I thought happily and jumped up to open it. My smile faded when I saw who was stood on my doorstep. How the f**k had he found me? “What the f**k are you doing here?” I asked. Chris ran his hand through his blonde hair and gave me a look that had always made me melt, but now it just made me want to slap him.

CHRIS.

It wasn’t working. This look had always worked on her before. s**t I was hoping that she would have started missing me. “Babe, I’m so sorry for everything I did. I’ve missed you so much. Please can we just talk? I can’t lose you. What we had was special. I love you.” Hopefully she would let me in. I just needed the chance to convince her. She laughed and shut the door in my face. Well that didn’t go how I’d hoped. I wasn’t about to give up though. “Amber, I’m going to stay right here. I’m not leaving until you’ve spoken to me.” She didn’t open the door so I made myself as comfortable as possible on the doorstep. I would wait as long as I had to. My Dad would rip me a new one I I didn’t.

ELLIE.

I had headed to Bluebell cottage to visit Amber as we had arranged, but when I was nearly there I saw a blonde gut sat on her doorstep. He was calling through the open door. Clearly she had enough on her plate right now. Besides I didn’t really feel like it would be right to get caught up in the middle of whatever that was. He didn’t seem to be a danger. He was sitting calmly not causing trouble, but I decided that I would get Adam to walk up in a bit just to check. I turned around and headed back down to the restaurant.

AMBER.

I was glad I went food shopping earlier as he was still sat outside. I had seen Ellie leaving earlier through the window. I didn’t blame her. She didn’t even really know me yet. I settled down on the sofa and started reading to pass the time. It was actually quite interesting. Although it was written as if it was fact rather than fiction. It was about a legend in the werewolf community. I snickered as if that was a real thing. I carried on reading. It said that once every few hundred years the Moon Goddess Selene, comes down to walk among her children and blesses a baby. This baby will become an extremely rare silver wolf. The silver wolf has special abilities and when they replace their true mate and they have mated and marked, the mate will also share those abilities. Their children will be blessed with an ability each and will be bigger and stronger than even an Alpha.

I put the book down after reading for a while longer. I was getting hungry. I guess I had better cook something. I stood up and headed towards the fridge when the door knocked again. For fucksake. Can’t he just piss off. “GO AWAY!!” I shouted. “Ummm food delivery.” a voice called back. Wait that wasn’t Chris. I opened the door to replace Adam stood there holding a bag. I gestured for him to come in and he stepped over Chris and followed me in.

“Adam, what are you doing here?” I asked, though I was glad to see him. “My mum sent me up with some food. She told me to make sure everything was OK.” He explained while handing me the trays of food. It smelt so good my mouth started watering. Screw it I could start cooking tomorrow. I asked him if he’d like to stay for a bit. His white t-shirt looked good on his well built frame. I found myself wanting to run my fingers through his brown curls. He said that he’d like to but he needed to get back to the restaurant. He looked a little disappointed though. He turned to leave and I noted that he looked just as good from the back. He turned back around. I’m sure he caught me looking. “I almost forgot, my mum found this after you left last night.” He handed me the envelope from Mr Daniels. “Thank you so much, I’ve been looking for this.”

There was a noise outside and I remembered about Chris. Adam asked for a pen and paper and he wrote down his number, telling me to call him if Chris started causing trouble. I thanked him. “I’ve written down Becky’s number as well, she would kill me if I didn’t give it to you” he laughed. “She will want you to call or text so she can get yours.” He added before leaving. I watched out the window as he walked away. The smell of the food reminded me I was hungry, and I tucked in while sending a quick message to Becky. ‘Hey Becky, it’s Amber. Your brother said I should message. Hope you are well x’
