Page 222 of The Alpha and His Song: Volume One

Keaton led me over to get our photo taken. We did the typical prom pose then he kissed me for one. Everyone in the gym howled happily. Keaton laughed and pulled me onto the dance floor. I couldn’t keep the grin off my face because I really never thought I’d have this.

I covered for Immy so she could go see Sean. Keaton definitely knew something was up but didn’t say anything. We danced the night away. This time there was no drama when Immy came back. Keaton led us out to the limo.

I thought we would go back to my apartment, but we went to a hotel. I gasped, “What?” Keaton smirked and led us to a private elevator and up to the penthouse. I didn’t even know hotels had penthouses.

I was going to look at the view, but Keaton dragged me to the bedroom. My boyfriend closed the door quickly. I asked, “What about the view?” Keaton answered, “I can’t wait another minute to be inside you.” Keaton carefully unzipped my dress, and it slid off.

He growled, “You were naked under this all night?!” I laughed, “You did see the dress, didn’t you?” Keaton growled, “I absolutely saw it.” My man slowly kissed me and cupped my breast. He lazily made his way to bed then made love to me slowly all night. Life just couldn’t get better.

I woke up to a kiss on my shoulder and smiled. Keaton had made breakfast in bed. I sat up, “You’re so perfect.” Keaton laughed, “I have a meeting to get to.” I pouted. My boyfriend tilted my chin up, “It won’t be long. I’ll come see you when I get back.”

I nodded, “I know.” Keaton kissed me again then said, “Come on, I’ll drop you off at home.” I nodded, “Ok.” He took me back to my place then drove off. I wondered how long his meeting was. I should’ve asked.

I looked at Tatum, “You know how I can surprise him? I’ll go get my driver’s license! Or try. I guess I could fail the test. Ok, I probably will” I ran downstairs and found Ken. The building manager smiled, “What’s up?”

I explained, “Well, I wanted to surprise Key by getting my license and I was kind of hoping you could drive me.” Ken laughed, “Yeah kid, let’s go.” Ken drove my car there and went with me to sign up. I was nervous when my instructor came over. We got in my car while Ken waved and held a thumbs up for good luck.

The instructor didn’t say much, which was nerve wracking. She just marked boxes on her paper. When we got back, she announced, “You passed by one point, but you still passed.” She handed me my paper. I read it and made a face.

I got docked for not turning right on red. Well, I was nervous! Ken said, “Let’s go to the license bureau. We can get you right in.” Of course, they could. I’m sure a Daniel’s owned the place. We got right in and out. I couldn’t help but smile at my license. It was my first document with my picture on it.

Ken gestured to my car with a smile, “Drive us back.” I nodded and drove him back to my apartment. Ken hummed, “Well, that was an experience. I’m off for the day. See you later, kid.” He left quickly and I went upstairs to my apartment.

I got a text from an unknown number. It was a picture of Keaton at his house. He was back? I didn’t even read the message. I smiled saying to myself, “I’ll just surprise my man. He’ll be stunned to see me drive up.” I ran downstairs and got in my car. I was extra careful on the drive there.

When I pulled up, I heard a child’s scream. I looked around my car for a weapon. I said, “Come on, let there be a gun in the glove box.” I opened it and squealed, “Thank you Jarchi for the weapon and bless you Melanie for teaching me to shoot.” I ran towards the scream.

I panicked when I saw who it was. I screamed “ALLISON!” She had a bow and arrow, fighting off a lot of red eyed wolves. I cannot believe the city hadn’t done anything about all except Rolfe yet. My rabies wolf was part of the solution, not the problem.

Allison yelled, “It’s uhh fine, I got this.” I snorted, “Good thing I came to see Keaton.” Allison frowned, “Keaton’s not here.” Huh? Then why did I get of picture of him here? I fired my gun at the rabies wolf closest to her.

It whined in pain, then pain exploded in my head as the wolf turned into a human. I screamed, “Oh my god!” Allison yelled, “Please don’t panic, Odette.” I just killed a human being when it was a wolf. Werewolf. I killed a Werewolf. NO! My books said they were rogues.

One jumped at Allison and I didn’t hesitate to fire to save her life. I had to protect Allison. Sassy was in full agreement. I watched wolf after wolf turn back into a person. Oh god. The pain in my head was unbearable.

When Allison was safe, I threw up and barely managed to stumble back to my car. I groaned, “Oh god. I just committed mass murder. I knew my life was going too well. Who is going to believe they were wolves when I fired? I didn’t even hesitate. Oh my god. I’ll need Caspian’s lawyer. I’m so going to jail. Oh my god, I’m a murderer.” People yelled my name, but I gunned my car and took off. So much for being a safe driver.

I started to sob as the whole situation became real. I killed someone, no several people. I actually pulled the trigger and killed someone. Sassy was cautious in my head but not upset. Heck, she was almost excited. I whispered, “I had to do it to save Allison. That has to matter, right?” Sassy hissed suddenly in my head.

I looked in front of me where there was an SUV with guns pointed at me. Oh god. I was going to jail. I screamed and slammed on the breaks. I lost control of the car and ended up in the ditch. My door was ripped off.

The guy smiled, “It is the Daniels boy’s girl, they were right. This was like taking candy from a baby.” My head hurt, but I started to fight. They growled at me. I was doing good until I was hit with something hard from behind.

When I woke up, I was chained to a cot and started crying. Someone yelled, “Shut up!” I snorted, “Sure, now that you said it that will help. I’ll just stop having a reaction to being kidnapped! You are an ASS!” The guy stood in front of me.

I frowned, “You have red eyes. You are one of the rabies wolves!” The guy growled at me while Sassy hissed in my head. Someone warned, “You are not to harm her.” The first guy snorted. Wait I knew the voice that told him not to hurt me.

Delana stepped into my view causing my eyes to widen. She stated, “You do not want to upset the Merrick’s. Do you?” The guy snorted, “Lady, I don’t answer to the Merrick’s. If the Daniels boy will pay for his chick, then we are taking the money and returning her.” Delana shrugged causing the guy to walk away.

Delana waited until he was further away before she dropped a rock. To my shock, Delana apologized, “I’m sorry about this. These guys and the Merrick’s got a traitor in the Daniels pack who told them where you were coming.”

I snorted, “It will be Lisa. I should’ve known if Keaton was back, he’d have called me.” I reached through the bars with my free hand and grabbed her hand. I sincerely apologized, “I’m so sorry about your son.” Delana asked, “How do you know about that?”

I frowned, “Umm that’s complicated. If we are in delusional land, I saw you. Luke also told me when I saw him in my dreams.” Delana’s eyes widened then she threw her head back laughing. My ex’s probably now ex waved her hand, “Luke has no idea how powerful you are.”

Delana cackled, “God, that’s going to hurt Luke so much worse. Look, I met a friend of yours. We have a plan, but it might take a day to enact.” I frowned, “You met a friend of mine?” Delana nodded, “Yes, she’s coming to you some way she can tonight. She said to tell you Manford at Modd comes for their own.”

I gasped, “Melanie?” Tears filled my eyes. Melanie was coming for me again. That was her company’s name. I sobbed in relief. I laughed, “Of course she’s coming because I got kidnapped. That’s how she found me the first time.” Clearly, the solution if I lost Melanie again was to get captured. It wasn’t my worst contingency plan.
