Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 21

BECKY.

I was so happy when I got the text from Amber. I phoned her and we spent the rest of the evening chatting. I didn’t mention the whole werewolf thing yet, I wanted her to get to know me first so she would feel safe with me. She told me about her ex and her so-called friend. I can’t believe that prick had the balls to show up here. Talking to her was so easy. I wasn’t sure why, given that I still barely knew her, but I completely trusted her. I arranged to go to Bluebell cottage and get to know each other properly tomorrow. I hung up, and somehow, I just knew that we were going to be great friends.

CHRIS.

Clearly, she wasn’t going to talk to me tonight. I couldn’t sleep on my bike and I wasn’t going to leave town. I put a note through the door telling her I wouldn’t leave town until we had at least talked. I jumped on my bike and headed up to the Alpha house to get a room for the night. I didn’t like that she’d let that delivery guy in earlier, and he’d been in there a lot longer than it would have taken to drop food off. I would have to replace out who he is exactly .

ADAM.

I had jumped at the chance to take food up to Amber. I didn’t expect the guy on her doorstep to be a werewolf, though. I thought she didn’t know about any of it. I hadn’t gotten the mindlink about her being unaware and not freaking her out, I was out of range at the time, but my parents had filled me in when I got home. I kept thinking about the book that I had seen lying on Amber’s coffee table. At the time I liked that she enjoyed reading, I did too. Thinking back now, though, I couldn’t help chuckling to myself, she was reading a book about wolves, it was funny if you think about it. I had given her my number, hoping she’d call, but she hadn’t yet. I found myself wishing I’d got her number, too.I wanted the chance to get to know her better, try and figure out what it is that I’m feeling. At first, I’d actually thought that there was a chance she was my mate. When she had shaken my hand, I could have sworn that I’d felt sparks, but they were weak and didn’t last very long. My wolf Rusty hadn’t reacted to her the way he should to a mate either. He would have known straight away, so she definitely isn’t my mate. I still found her fascinating, though, and beautiful.

AMBER.

Chris had left me a note. I guess ignoring him wasn’t going to work. He’s not leaving town until we’ve talked. At least he was gone from my doorstep for the night so I could relax. Although I couldn’t help wondering where he had gone. I sighed deeply. If talking to him was the only way to get him out of my life once and for all, then so be it. I would see him tomorrow and get it over with.

It had been really nice chatting with Becky earlier. Im so glad i texted her. She has such a great sense of humour. We just seemed to click. There was no awkwardness whatsoever. I wondered if i could ask her about the things I heard those girls ralking about in the restaurant. When she comes over tomorrow, i will see if i can replace a way to bring it up. i figured if i could ask anyone, it would be her, It felt like I’d known her forever.

I was ready for sleep, so I decided to worry about Chris and whatever was going on in this town tomorrow. I picked up the envelope Adam had returned to me, and that could wait until morning too. Whatever was in there couldn’t be any weirder than the contents of the box, i thought. I couldn’t figure out why these things were so important to Mary. My birth certificate sure and maybe the necklace had sentimental value, but what could be so important about the bottle of liquid and a werewolf themed storybook? Also, why would she only want me to have them if i came to Lakeside? It made no sense to me. Maybe i should sleep on it. I settled down in bed, and I quickly drifted off thinking about the silver wolf from the book.

ALPHA JASON STONE.

I had contacted a witch that I knew. My father had employed her mother in the past. I had told her about Amber and all about the contents of the box that I had found at her house earlier. She had agreed to come and see what she could replace out. Tanya would arrive in the morning. Until then, there was nothing else i could do about it. I poured myself a big glass of whisky and relaxed.I was thinking about calling up one of the she-wolves in town I had been feeling pent up, and looking through Amber’s lingerie earlier hadn’t helped that. I hoped she doesn’t turn out to be a witch, here under false pretences. She really is beautiful. I wouldn’t mind working out my frustration with her. Brutus growled again, and I chuckled. The door to my office knocked, and my Beta walked in. Dean was my younger brother as well as my Beta. We didn’t get on that well. We had very different ideas about most things, but he was the only Beta blooded werewolf in the pack. Well, apart from me and our father, of course.

“Chris Baxter from the Moon River pack is here asking for a room. He says you would be expecting him.” He tells me. “What room do you want me to put him in?” I smirk at him “preferably the f*****g dungeon.” I said amusing myself “just stick him in any room, preferably one that’s not near mine.” I told him. He nodded and went to see to it. I didn’t particularly want that prick in my house, or my pack. I hated the Baxters.
