Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Beta’s sister

I don't know what I expected, but I know one thing for sure. I didn't expect to be placed in the pack house on house arrest! They are imprisoning me! Gamma Ben says that I have to wait in the pack house until the Alpha comes and that I'm free to roam and meet the other girls here but I can't leave the house until after the alpha arrives which is in 2 hours.

This was unbelievable. I was living free for 2 years but the moment I get a little lonely I get thrown into this mess! Better be careful what we wish for I guess. I sneak a peek outside the window and sigh defeatedly when I notice how many guards are posted all around the house. Why is this such a big pack and why do they need so many freaking guards!! It's not like there are other packs around that are planning to attack.

I leave my temporary room that I was given and head down to the living room where I see a couple of she wolves cornering another girl. "You're really a slut going after a taken man."

One of the girls said as she pushed the other towards the wall.

" Shayla how many times have I told you. I don't want the alpha."

"Yeah right. Because no one wants power."

" I DONT.PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE." The girl's eyes began to water as she said that, and Shayla began to laugh along with her friends.

" Look at how pathetic she is! Hah! And to think this skank thinks she can be Luna? As if."

I balled my hands into fists. Bullying was something that made my teeth grit.

"It's not like you'll be Luna." Crap. That was my voice. I can't believe I just said that.

Shayla and her minions slowly turned towards me.

" What did you say to me rogue?"

I took a step towards her deciding to stick to my words. I was bullied in my old pack and I'll be damned if I let someone else be bullied.

"You heard me. You're too much of a bully to ever be a Luna. Lunas are supposed to be kind, loving, and care about every member of a pack. Even a rogue like me knows that."

She came up to me and lifted her arm to slap me but I grabbed it. "What do you think you're doing?" I said between gritted teeth as I squeezed on her arm.

I squeezed harder and I saw her flinch. "Don't you ever think you can raise your filthy hand against me or against anyone helpless ever again." I squeezed more. " You're nothing but a weak, pathetic bully."

Her eyes filled with tears as I let go. And she all but ran out of the room followed by her minions. I walked up to the girl she had tormented.

"Hey are you ok?" I asked. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. She sniffled. "Thank you. I'm Aaliyah."

"Hi! I'm Lily. Don't mention it. I hate bullies. They are the absolute worst."

She nodded. "She's been like that ever since the alpha started his search for the Luna."

"She sees everyone as a threat. We've been cooped up here for 3 days waiting for his arrival. But he's set to be coming today. I think you're the last to arrive."

Great for me. NOT.

I spent the rest of the hour getting to know Aaliyah and we realized we had a lot in common. I also found out that no male has been here in the last 3 days. And that Aaliyah had just turned 18 last night which is why Shaylaa was extra crabby because when a wolf turns 18 their mate can detect them. And Shaylaa is 21. Another reason Shaylaa is jealous of Aaliyah is the fact that Aaliyah is the Betas little sister, meaning her chances of mating with someone in a position of power are far greater than an average she wolf. I also found out that Aaliyah has had the biggest crush on Gamma Ben. I mean looks wise I see her point of view but personality nah. But to each their own I guess.

We decided to have a movie night after she screeched in horror from finding out I've never had one. We made popcorn and she played her favorite movie. Right when the scene of the prince came on screen. I remembered the real reason I'm here. The alpha.

Where is he? Shouldn't he have been here by now? I turned towards Aaliyah who looks half asleep.

"Do you know how long it'll be before the alpha arrives?"

She shrugged. And kept her sleep filled eyes focused on the screen as she munched on popcorn.

I couldn't help but think about the fact that if I had someone like her in my pack. Maybe I wouldn't have ran away. I know I barely spent a day here but it seems like this pack operates differently than my old one.

Would the alpha consider letting me stay? Is that even something I want? It's been so long since I've even sat on a couch. But having a friend? This was a first and it felt fantastic. Maybe if the alpha didn't let me stay I could still see her. I mean I only live a couple of hours away anyways.

I drifted off to sleep on the couch, as Aaliyah continued to watch the movie.

I felt someone shake me awake and am met with golden eyes. A wolf. I jumped immediately.

I insticitvely looked over to where my friend was and she was no longer sitting there. I tuned back to the wolf.

"Shift." I said demandingly. "Now."

The wolf shifted and it was a new man one who I have yet to meet.

"Where is Aaliyah????" I asked.

"Who are you to ask about my sister?" He looked at me suspiciously.

"She's my friend." Aaliyah said from behind me and we both turned towards her. She was carrying pillows and blankets.

"Geez I'm gone for 5 minutes and you've already almost killed the first friend I've ever made."

" I thought you were in danger! What am I supposed to think! Your scent is all over the room and it's mixed with her rogue scent!!"

"So had I not woken up I'd be dead?!?!" I yelled realizing the severity of what could've happened.

A deep chuckle sounded behind us. Followed by a gasp.

"Mate."
