Wolfed Chapter 54
Before long, the two of us were served a wonderful meal of steak, fries and bread along with any drink of our choice. I went with cola while Draugluin chose a Merlot from the wine list. The realization that we were almost four years apart strangely made me feel uncomfortable. Was I like a kid to him? It didn’t seem that way from how he treated me but even I treated Draco like someone much younger than me and we were only three years apart.Supper was eaten in silence. Afterwards, Draugluin and I faced back to back to undress into our pajamas. My bed was a bit springy but silent as I huddled under the covers. Draugluin clapped his hands after climbing into bed himself.“Hey Draugluin ?” I stared across the ten feet gap between us.“Hmm?”“How long do you think we’ll be here?”“Who knows,” I heard him yawn.“What are we going to do in the meantime?”“I’m sure they’ll try and interrogate us some more. They most likely won’t let us outside but Alpha Jon said to treat us like guests so I’m

“Thank you,” Ally smiled as Lyall left the kitchen and straight to his father’s office. When he entered, Alpha was already positioned behind his desk with Alpha Mother sitting nervously in one of the opposite facing chairs. All she could do was stare at the back of the open computer and wait for Alpha Jon to answer the video call. The ringing sounded four more times after Lyall placed his father’s coffee on the desk before it pinged and the black screen lightened to reveal a foreign face.“Greetings!” Alpha Jon seemed more chipper than Lyall would imagine an Alpha to be. He also looked older than he sounded. “You must be Draugluin ’s Alpha. How are you?”“Please cut the pleasantries. I find them meaningless and a waste of breath when you’re about to have a business chat.” Alpha grunted, grabbing his coffee as a distraction to once again review Draugluin ’s sheet of paper that held all the answers Alpha needed. It lay in front of the computer, hidden from Alpha Jon's view.“Please excu

Lyall watched his father tap his finger on the edge of the desk while glaring at a loading bar screen. It reminded Lyall of when Alpha had finally consented to getting a computer instead of just using a filing system alone. Alpha still used the ancient, paper files, always afraid the computer system would crash. Now, Alpha could easily download, track and access any file he wanted to with ease as if he were head of the FBI. Not even Lyall was as tech-savvy as his old man. Alpha Mother still sat in her seat, squirming whilst examining her own copy of Draugluin ’s prep sheet. Lyall picked up Alpha's copy. He was surprised at the amount of detail Draugluin had put into a pre-interrogation paper. There weren’t just well-organized questions but follow up questions and types of answers that should be given if the conversation went in one of two or three different directions. The paper was front and back and the font was small, which was a bit inconvenient. Good thing it was Alpha's eyesig

“That was great!” Alpha Jon clapped, knocking me out of my stupor. “Is that one way you train your wolves in combat back in America?” His question threw me off and I exchanged glances with Draugluin , neither of us saying a word. “Hurry and get dressed,” Alpha Jon urged, “we have a big day ahead of us.”“Big day?” I was puzzled. I thought we’d just had dinner only hours earlier and I didn’t remember falling asleep.“Yes,” Julianna pushed up her glasses, “It’s midnight, the start of a new day.”“Does that mean at noon the days over with and I can roll around in boredom all over again,” I questioned. My sarcastic enthusiasm was returned with a sneer from the perfectly put-together woman. Julianna seemed to have gotten over the fact that Draugluin was more powerful than her, no longer nervous. I have to say a frightened Julianna is not as fun as a stuck-up, haughty one so I wasn't complaining. Draugluin and I were given five minutes to get dressed and meet the two of them outside the

Draugluin was shaking his head. I couldn’t tell if it was disapproval or disbelief. Whichever it was, he didn’t hesitate to break up the conversation by stepping on the treadmill and changing the setting. Julianna quickly restarted her stopwatch as Draugluin started running.The show-off didn’t follow my plan at all. Instead he ran at a steady jog for fifteen minutes. Then he ran fast for ten minutes before slowing and stopping.“Twenty-five minutes and fifty-nine seconds,” Julianna lifted the watch to Alpha Jon’s eye level. He didn’t look happy at the results but didn't complain like he did with me. Hopefully he did consider the possibility that we were slightly out of shape; or doubting the Grey pack's ability.Draugluin sent me a grin. He was looking down on my tactic! His didn't seem to be much better. I balled my fists, feeling my nails dig impressions into my skin but I wouldn’t squeeze so hard as to draw blood. That would be annoying to explain and take care of. Draugluin gentl
Wolfed Chapter 59
It was no longer common for new wolves to integrate into the Grey pack, but so many wolves had entered in the past that mating within the pack was safe. Most of the wolves weren’t related by blood. But if Lyall’s parents met and married for love, why were they pushing him to be with Marigold?Lyall slowed and laughed, enjoying the rain that slithered down his body. How had his mind changed from Lucian to his parents trying to force him into an arranged marriage? Could it have been a distraction his mind set up?“You might get sick.”Lyall peered upwards to see Marigold holding a striped black, blue and white umbrella. She looked irritated.“I’m sorry. Did Alpha send you out here? How'd you get in this school with the gate closed?” Lyall shook his hair, hands on his hips. Why hadn't he heard her coming? He would have at least heard the rain bouncing off the umbrella.“I was looking for you and peeked out the window. I thought to myself that you were an idiot, running in the rain, but

I didn't retaliate. Now wasn't the time to squabble, playfully or no. When we reached the first level, there were two, very familiar faces standing in our path: Julias and Bayard. "Hi," Bayard sneered and tried to jump me, but Draugluin was already in his wolf form, sending the boy flying against a wall. Bayard rubbed his head but was ready to fight once more. Julias was already leaping at Mozzy, trying to tear into him but he wasn't big enough to take Draugluin down. Bayard was about to go into wolf form when I punched him down again. "Aw, did the wittle baby get a booboo? Poor baby." I taunted him to keep him distracted. Draugluin needed to take down battle experienced Julias. "You American rat. Why don't you go rot in sewers where not even the scavengers will feed on your flesh?!""What's that reference," I ducked a punch, readying my arms to block a knee. I winced as I blocked, but not from the impact. The corner of the book dug into my stomach when I ducked so low."Out of sha

than expected, Alpha had to bribe the few construction workers and carpenters of the pack that, if they could create a new, large extension of the house in the back left side before the pups were six months old, the workers wouldn't have to pay their monthly pack contribution for an entire year. The men were already planning what they would do with the extra money they'd have left over. One said he'd take his mate on a long needed vacation for the both of them. If only an alpha could take a vacation every once in a while.Alpha Mother came in with Alpha's hot mug of coffee accompanied with a side of cheese, crackers and sliced salami. Her quick barefoot steps were silent on the red, velvet carpet. After setting the tray down, she sighed. "Have you heard anything from Alpha Jon?""Not yet," Alpha took a swig of the coffee while his mate sat in one of the chairs before his desk, fiddling with the tray she'd brought all the goods on. The tapping against the bronze made Alpha's ears itch
