never thought it was ok…” he drifted off and everyone looked to me.
    “What?” I shouted. “I didn’t want her like
that. She’s like my freaking sister; a bitchy, high maintenance one.”
    Annabella placed her hand over my arm
and it calmed me slightly, as an Omega’s touch could do.
    Alphas and Betas were always in a pack
but it was rare to have an Omega. Omegas were the quiet strength of the pack,
the glue that held everything together. We were lucky we got Annabella when we
did 9 years ago and she was lucky to have found us too. Life hadn’t gone so
well for her before she showed up here but she never brought it up, so neither
did we.
    “We all know you don’t see her like
that but for the longest time, Will didn’t” She said and I scoffed.
    “Well he’s stupid then. He could’ve
just listened to me.”
    Max shook his head “I don’t think he
would’ve believed you even if he had. He was always so set on how things should
be. You know, Alpha with Alpha.”
    “Well it looks like he got over it.” I
said.
    Annabella grabbed the wiimote from
where Will had set it down. “It’s just the honeymoon stage for them. Things
will be back to normal in no time.”
    “True” Logan agreed but no one believed them.

 
    At dinner time, we sat out by the pool
and enjoyed some food. While some legends got it so wrong it was comical, one
of the things they got right was the werewolf’s undying love for raw meat. Or
in this case, we grilled our food to medium rare. It was crowded as always but
there was still plenty enough to go around.
    My father stood behind the grill,
chatting with the large group surrounding him. They were hanging on his every
word. I went towards him, intent on some grub and not much else. His eyes shot
to mine and the crowd became quiet. Freaking nosy neighbors. “How can I help
you, son?” he asked mildly.
    “Steak would be great.” He put a large
piece on my plate and turned away coldly. What did he think I was going to say?
“I’m ready to reform and be your puppet. Let’s hug?” I eyed the trees and
wondered how far I’d get without my friends following behind. Not far enough, I
decided and dug into my meal.
    “Still alive, I see.” I turned to see a
tall man with smiling gray eyes and graying hair to match.
    “Nice to see you too, Uncle Eric” and I
meant it. “Also, you might have something to do with me being alive still.” He
acknowledged that with a nod. We were referring to the many fights I got into
and how he had to put me back together most times.
    The last fight I’d gotten into was only
a few nights ago. It was a friendly fight with a pack member named Darrell. We
were playing as wolves do but he got a little too excited when he thought he
would beat the Alpha because I’d been going easy on him. I’d been totally
distracted with the thoughts in my head, not taking it seriously. I sensed the
change in him almost too late and I had to fight him for real. It didn’t take
long to bring him down but in the meantime I had a gnarly scratch that went
from my neck down my entire back. It was gone now.
    “I do what I can, James. Though I wish
you’d keep out of trouble in the first place.”
    “What would the fun in that be?”
    “More fun for me, I assure you.”
    “Well don’t worry too much about me,
Uncle. I’ve got things under control. Speaking of which, I met your newest
employee. She’s very…human.”
    He chuckled softly “You never were on
for subtlety, James. I believe Kira is more than she appears to be and she is
more than deserving of the secretary job. I was, in fact, ready to turn her
down but then I saw her interacting with the animals in my office. It was
unlike anything I’d ever seen before. They responded to her as if they knew
her, and she to them. I had to change my mind.
    Most humans just want another line for
their resumes but she genuinely wanted to learn and help the animals. A
werewolf, she is not but a special person like
