Chapter eight

Chapter eight - What are you going to do, new girl?

[K A T O]

"This is outrageous! Have you ever thought of the consequences? Of the impact your decision might leave on our pack?", dad growled, slowly lowering himself back in the armchair he was sitting on before.

"We will keep it as a secret, at least for now. Please, just please try to understand why I've made this decision, dad" I tried to reason him.

The thing about my dad is that he will always be Alpha before being a father. Of course, his family means the world to him, yet the pack always comes first. And by always, I mean even over his life.

"Alright, I shall consider this, but don't wait for me to give in so easily. I need more time to give you an answer. For now, we will keep this silly idea of yours as a secret. Just you and me, like old times", he smiled to himself as last words left his lips. Must be already lost in some nostalgic memories.

I nodded my head in approval and thanked him, to what he just smiled once again.

"Now hurry up and get ready for your first day back in school," he added and stood up to hug me. One thing I missed the most was his hugs. No matter where I've been, no matter who has been around me and gave me all the support I needed- dad has always been the only man who has managed to make me feel completely safe. Standing behind him has always been like standing behind a massive brick wall, untouchable.

Just as I was about to open the door of his office, he chuckled to himself.

"Try to avoid drama out there and don't get yourself into unneeded problems," he said, amusement lacing his words.

I laughed to myself and left the office.

In about 30 minutes, I was ready to face everyone in the school. Mom already left, as she decided to let some teachers have a vacation or something like that.
She did allow me to join after the lunch break, and judging by the time, I might be just a few minutes late already. I sighed, grabbed my helmet, and rushed outside of our house.

"Drive safely, if you'll get into an accident, your mom might try to kill you," I heard dad laughing from behind of me.

He is quite right, though, even if I'd die, my mom would do anything to bring me back to life, to kill me with her own hands. Funny, but that's the level of overprotective my mom is.

"Hey there, little bug, where you're going now, huh?" suddenly a way too familiar voice spoke, just a few meters away.

I know that by now, my eyes must be glowing like stars in the sky. I missed him.

I turned around and squirmed in excitement.

"Blaze!" I yelled and ran at him, instantly locking him into a bone-crushing hug.

"Easier there, I might want to breathe," he chuckled, and I let him go.
"All grown-up," he whispered, carefully observing me, a single tear slid down his cheek.

"Eh, don't get all cheesy now," I bumped my fist to his shoulder and laughed it off. To be honest, I don't want to break down in tears, because I did really missed uncle Blaze and I would if I wouldn't have somewhere to be now.

"I'm just surprised of how grown you've become, not that little bug whom I kept chasing around the mansion years ago, you know," he looked down at his feet. I know what he feels now, he's been sending me letters and apologizing for years, because under those circumstances, he had to break his promise. The promise to stay around me whenever I go, all way long.

"Hey, how do ice cream and some cheesy movies sound? I'm kinda in a hurry, the first day of school and everything", I said and laughed awkwardly.

He just smiled, hugged me, and whispered that he missed me. Soon after he headed inside the house. I looked around, just to make sure that no one else could try to distract me again and slowly slid my helmet on. After getting onto the bike, I sped off to the school, praying Moon Goddess to get there in time.

To my surprise, I reached the school parking lot much faster than I thought. After taking one last look at my phone, I busted out in laughter. Dad had changed the time on all clocks at the house so that I wouldn't be late. Smart move.

I stood next to my bike and thought of all possible outcomes of me getting back home, going to packs school, and meeting a few people I knew. I sighed heavily and grabbed my backpack. I'm ready; I must be prepared. Well, at least that's what I thought.

A few steps and amazingly gorgeous women stood in front of me. Most of the man would call her goddess, even though it's quite a "natural" thing for werewolves to be gorgeous. She was no exception.

"Move, mutt," she suddenly spoke.

I might seem rude, but I couldn't hold myself together, I tried, but I'm weak. So goddamn weak. So I laughed, straight into her face.

"Повтори," I managed to stop my laughing fit as fast as it started, leaving nothing, but a stone-cold facial expression. (Repeat that)

"Just what I needed, some ugly ass foreigner slut. Listen to me, Miss, I don't know English; I rule this place so you either move the fuck out of my way or face the consequences", she said proudly. By now, there were few people gathered in the parking lot already. It looks like certain someone enjoys the attention, hoping for some "embarrassing new kid" action to happen; she must have mind linked her closest friends.

I just stood there, looking straight into her eyes and smiled sweetly before speaking up.
"Eh, I got pretty good knowledge in my mother language. To warn you, you should hold that pretty little mouth of yours shut, before something real, real bad happens", I didn't let my facial expression to change. One thing which I learned during the training was hiding my emotions, scent, and aura, so poor little thing doesn't know what's coming her way, she's sure that I'm some low rank 'skank.'

"Oh, please, whatcha gonna do new girl?" she mocked me.

Well, one thing about Alphas... We don't like being disrespected, we don't tolerate behavior as such, especially towards us.

"You have exactly five seconds to submit, I shall not take any responsibility for consequences," I lowly growled at her.

And that's when she made the wrong move... she tried to attack me.

Instead of giving her the pleasure of actually landing the hit, I grabbed her wrist and twisted it. Low scream of pain escaped her lips, after which I threw her body onto the ground and wrapped my arm around her throat, pinning her down.

"I said submit, bitch," I growled through gritted teeth.

Instead of playing the big bad wolf, she instantly showed her neck in submission.

"Kato Valentino, what do you think you are doing?" I heard my mother approaching the scene.

"Playing with my new friend, can't you see, mom?" I giggled to myself, being aware of how damn stupid my answer came out to be.

The girl, which by the way, attacked me first, held a look of fear in her eyes.

"I'm, I'm sorry, Alpha, I-I didn't know. I didn't felt," she tried to explain herself.

"She's one of a kind, isn't she? Hiding the aura of power, hiding her scent, pretending to be weak and strike the attack at the right moment. That's what I call a natural predator", my mother clapped her hands, looking at me in adoration. And there I was, thinking that she might try to punish me or yell.

"Let that girl go; we shall deal with her later on. Now, follow me to the principal's office to find out what exactly happened here", she instantly turned around and left. I was about to follow her when...
