I sneaked into the woods with Fah, and she was quietly walking ahead of me while looking if there was anyone around. From time to time, she stopped in her tracks but continued walking.
At some point, it made me wonder about what she was fussing over. I didn't emit pheromones, so no one would scent me from far away other than seeing me in the woods. But I appreciated her help.
Once we arrived at the familiar area, I saw the person I wanted to see already seated on the rock he sat on a few days back. He right away looked like a complete model anyone would see in magazines. With one of his legs propped up, he was resting his hand on the knee of that leg while looking somewhere ahead of him. The other leg was hanging over the rock as he swayed it to a flowing temper. His jacket hung loose, which made him look even more attractive. I liked the way he had combed his hair to the side, which made his forehead visible.
"There's your boy." Fah turned to me and gave a small smirk. Suddenly I thought what her full name was. It was obvious Fah was a nickname. "Don't take long, okay? I will be around here in my wolf's form," she said as she patted my shoulder.
Then she walked past me. I watched her for a while. She went near a tree, and I heard the faint crackling of bones. Within seconds there was her light grey wolf with her clothes at her feet. She kicked them aside and walked away, giving me one last glance. Her wolf was beautiful and kind of dominating though she was an omega.
I took a deep breath after she left. It was finally Grey and Everleigh. Everleigh and Grey.
'Tell me again, Spark. Is what I am doing the right thing?' I asked her.
'Meh, go to him already. He looks delicious.' she said.
I mentally rolled my eyes and slowly started walking towards the person who was chillingly sitting on the rock. He didn't see me till I accidentally stepped on a crooked dry leaf which made his head snap and turn in my direction. I froze there.
Alpha Grey quickly got down from the rock and walked over to me. Suddenly I felt uncomfortable with the twist that happened in our relationship. It was so many emotions at the same time. One time I would see him as my comforting person, the other time as a troublemaker or a disturbance, and the other time I saw him as a risk to my life.
But at that moment, I found him lovely.
I watched as Grey's hands reached up. And then his fingers touched mine. I saw how big his hand was compared to mine. What was he doing?? And again, I was feeling the heat all over my body, especially my cheeks. They started feeling like they were burning up from shyness.
Grey took my hands into his, and I didn't know how to react. My legs were completely shaking. I'd never felt that kind of feeling before.
"I thought you won't come," he said. I shyly nodded. "Thought you would get mad after seeing the letter. I had this hunch you might go there again. That's why I wrote it... plus, there was no other way to communicate with you," he said.
He was making me shyer with his words. So I quickly took my hands from his grasp. Then I walked past him and jumped on the high rock he was sitting on before. My hands gripped the top of it so I won't fall off. Maybe I didn't jump that high because I started sliding off from it.
That was when Grey's hands came into my vision. He tightly held me up by my thighs and hoisted me up so I could sit there without falling off. My heart skipped a beat.
'Gosh, why is this person making me blush this hard??? When will he stop doing things like this??'
And just like that, the area where he touched started burning like he poured some lava droplets there. Alpha Grey pushed himself up on the rock and sat there easily without any reaction. Was it only me who was feeling restless with these new feelings? He looked really calm.
Alpha Grey didn't say anything at first. Then he reached for his pocket and pulled out a small notebook and a pen. He handed them over to me.
"How was your day?" he asked, waiting for me to write my reply. But I was taken aback. Literally, no one was interested in knowing how I spent my day before. He was, like, the first person to ask me that question apart from Fah... It was new to me, and I felt so special at one point.
I slowly wrote my reply on the first page;
'I watered all the plants in the front yard of the packhouse.' I simply wrote that though I did much more chores. I didn't want him to know how much work I did.
"Oh, that's when I found you. Who were those people anyway?" he asked.
'Who?' I wrote.
"The ones who pushed you.." he mumbled.
I tapped my pen on the paper but didn't write their names though I knew some of their names. They might be some worse people out there, but I didn't want to sell off their names to the angry wolf who was next to me.
"I swear to god, if I wasn't a visitor, a few might've already died in this pack," he growled. I gave him the 'are you serious?' look, trying to cover how my heart skipped a beat at his threat. It wasn't an empty threat, and it was filled with rage and determination. I couldn't understand why all his actions and words were flattering my heart like that.
'You don't have to do that. It's a small joke.' I wrote.
"And you say those two people who... hurt you in the basement were joking too?" he slowly asked. I didn't like the situation, weren't we supposed to... like, talk about something else, maybe share a kiss for the second time?
I shook my head. I was tired of the alpha Grey digging into the dark information of the pack. I couldn't decide whether he meant to do well after knowing it or what. Maybe he cared for me at one point.
"It's fine. They are dead already. It's like those rogues heard my thoughts." he laughed.
I looked at him with wide eyes. Jeremy and Cael died?? When and how?? I was surprised.
'How? When did that happen?' I showed him what I had written on the paper.
"Oh, you don't know? I heard rogues attacked them a few nights back. That's also the same reason they've put a curfew," he said.
I ceased my eyebrows and thought for a while.
In the background, I could hear him talk about the rogue attacks for a while, but I wasn't paying attention to those. My mind was somewhere else.
I could remember Fah breaking the news to me. I could remember her saying that she was sure it wasn't a rogue attack, and it might've something to do with the pack.
And I really wanted to know what happened to those two if it wasn't a rogue attack. Who did that?
Suddenly long, familiar fingers came into my view and tapped under my chin. I turned to Grey, who was boring his eyes into mine.
"Hey, now we aren't here to talk about them, are we?" he asked, too close to my face.
'No.'
