Chapter 7: Why Are You Here?
This is for scarletmoon57 sorry I didn't reply I hope this makes up for it lol
"D'you think he's at Nialls again?"
"No. I doubt it. He'll be wherever his mate is."
Louis tapped his lit cigarette against the slightly opened car window,"And where's that Zaynie ol boy?"
Zayn hesitated as he drove. Louis noticed his knuckles gripping the wheel even tighter.
"I don't know." He said bluntly.
Fantastic! Another wild goose chase."
"It doesn't have to be, we just have to find out where she lives."
Louis nodded and placed the cigarette back into his mouth,"And how do we find that out?"
Zayns knuckles were now white, and his jaw popped out. Louis felt his eyes burning into him in his side glance, but he didnt acknowledge him. "Could you shut up with all these questions Lou? I've been thinking here."
Louis sat up straighter in the passengers seat,"Hold on one more--" he didnt even give Zayn the chance to say anything. "Why are we looking for Harry so urgently? Again? I mean what do we need him for?"
"It's mating season..if you haven't noticed, Lou." Zayn slowed down his car before he turned on an intersection. "And if I know Harry, he's with that human girl."
"So he fucks a human, no big deal. We used to all the time.." Louis muttered lowly, holding his lit cigarette in front of him for his eyes to blankly study.
"We don't anymore. That's the thing. And we never breathed a word of it to anyone..you know what everyone would think. And what the Council would do."
"Yeah.." Louis sighed and tossed the cigarette out the window.
"Besides that, the pack just wants him back. I'm sure if Lars found out he'd go insane. I'm surprised he doesn't know already." Zayn furrowed his brow. He didnt remember seeing Lars at the ceremony. He left as soon as they brought Harry back, oddly enough.
"Why does he even care?" Louis turned his head to Zayn,"Lars hasn't even gone through the ritual yet..why does he care so much about Harry?"
Zayn recalled his and Lars' conversation awhile back. When Harry first ran away. He was to be an Alpha, which, now he was.
He remembered how odd Lars acted. Zayn knew he had hinted at mutiny, and taking over the pack, as well as overthrowing his father. Zayn scoffed, he'd like to see him try.
How would he use Harry to do that though, was the question.
"Everyone back home thinks Harrys still there. We get him back before anyone notices, and we're fine." Zayn chewed on his bottom lip,"Without Harry there, we lose the pack."
"Whatever you say Zayn.." Louis yawned, uninterested.
Zayn scoffed again, shaking his head at the oblivious Louis.
Louis took notice,"I just think this is all stupid, after catching him the first time I thought he would stay. Why'd he run away anyway?"
"He didnt want to be an Alpha."
Louis let out a loud laugh,"That's bullshit! Who wouldn't want to be one?" Then Louis remembered how scared his mate looked after the ceremony. He had told her what happens to their minds, their bodies. He remembered how much she cringed. Louis bit down on his lip and shut up, showing no signs of interest anymore.
Zayn nodded, understanding his silence, and glad he finally understood. "Alphas are a valued members of the pack. They need to be with us where they belong, not running amuck with humans." Scum, according to Lars.
"Why can't the Alphas do all this then?" Louis peeped up after a few shirt minutes.
"Because they're doing their duty, protecting and hunting for the pack, like their supposed to."
Louis sighed and looked out to the window on his right,"Kaidan and Xavier are pricks anyway..don't like hunting with them."
"Another reason we find Harry quickly.." Zayn started. He had loosened his grip on the wheel, but thinking about it made him clench again,"I've been hearing rumors the South pack have been in our territory."
--------------------------
When I opened my eyes, my vision blurred for a short while. It was really weird.
"Unngghh.."
I groaned and tried my best to move and sit up, but I cried out in pain. This wasn't like 'ow, I shouldn't have gone to soccer practice after the season started' pain. It felt more like I jumped off a building.
"Shit.." I rubbed my head, then moved the hair that I so happened to rub into my eye. I didn't have to touch it more than I did to know it was a ratty mess. I relaxed a little after slowly waking my body up along with my mind. My eyes were dully open and staring up at my ceiling. Obviously, I was thinking about my dream last night.
Harry had come in, silent as a mouse, but strong and sexy like...well Harry, and just..took me and my body. Considering the amount of pain I was in right now, and realizing I was nude, I felt my head begin to pulse and ache.
"It..wasn't a dream.." I concluded.
Forcing through the soreness all over, I sat up. Slowly. I winced at the smallest muscle movement. When I looked around, Harry wasn't in the bed. He wasn't even under the bed.
"Harry..?" I said over the loud silence of my house. How long was I even awake? Was he even still here?
I cringed before my foot even touched the carpet. I needed clothes. While changing, I listened intently for signs of other human life. What I heard was an engine getting louder and louder, then it stopped. Dillon was back.
"Benny!"
I jumped at least a few good inches from my spot beside my bed, managing to only be covered in underwear. Harry's voice had boomed from the stairway. A fluttering feeling made it's way to my heart, it almost hurt as much as my soreness. Part of me thought he left, or that it actually was a dream.
"Benny.." The voice grew deeper, almost sounding like a growl, and it was hard to differentiate it between human or animal. Harry walked into my bedroom through the open door, my instincts making me cover up the upper half of my body. I winced, for some reason my arms were sore too.
At my subtle physical discomfort, Harry seemed to stop looking like he was going to kill something, his eyes and brow softened when he looked at me. It made me feel nice and warm inside, I'll tell you that much. He sort of stared at me after that, like before. He wasn't looking at anything else, just me, my eyes. To me it seemed like he was looking longingly at..something he cared about. And if he looked the other way for just a second, he would lose it.
"What?" I blurted out somewhat harshly. I was of course upset at him still. Before he shoved me against the wall, anyway.
Harry kept up the lost puppy act, and I was slipping. But then I got my grip back.
I grabbed the nearest blanket on my bed and covered myself, narrowing my eyes at Harry,"Harry I want answers, now."
"Ben-"
"Benny! I'm back!"
The look in Harry's eyes changed from a somber and deep green to a deeper shade, his fists at his sides clenched, and his head whirled around in the direction of the stairs.
"Harry it's just my brother! St-"
I shut up when Harry lurched forward and clamped his hand over my mouth. As I locked eyes with him, I started thinking about before. He was so intent on me..why?
At the sound of the front door closing, Harry turned his head back to the stairway past my door that was still wide open.
"Hphhy let fme--" I tried to speak, but Harry's rough hand that felt weird on my mouth were blocking my voice. He slowly let his hand drop though when Dillon started climbing the stairs.
"Jesus Christ let me get some clothes on!!" I whispered in a panic, grabbing the clothes I intended to put on but, thanks to Harry, wasn't able to do. I made a break for my tiny bathroom on the other side of the room and shut the door with a loud thud.
"Benny? What was.."
"You!!"
"Shit shit shit shit shit shit," I grumbled from the bathroom while also in pain from moving so much in a frenzy to put some damn clothes on.
"Who the hell are you?!" Dillon questioned. Quite loudly.
"I could say the same to you.." I froze at Harry's words. The tone sent a shiver down my spine. He sounded like he was gonna hit my brother or something..or worse.
"Dillon!" I yelled from the bathroom, opened the door and tripped on the carpet that rose from the bathroom floor. "Fuck.." I whined.
"Benny!" "Benny!"
"You fucking leave her alone!" Dillon told Harry off. I couldn't see anything, given that my face was flat on my carpet, but I felt the heat get more intense.
I did hear Harry's voice boom after my brother's,"You gonna make me dickhead?"
"Harry!" I shouted and lifted my head up to look at both of them, who were now obviously looking at the poor girl still on the floor. "Enough!"
"Benny what the hell?" Dillon managed to get a few more words in before I just about had it up to here (insert the Empire State Building here) with boys right now.
"Dillon!" I almost felt like I was 13 again, which quite honestly felt not long ago, and telling Dillon off for stealing one of my toys or hiding my toothbrush. ",Shut up! Can I have a moment with Harry alone? Please?" I raised my voice as both of the boys just stared at me, not even offering to help me up. Real gentlemen, they were. It kinda added to my emotional state.
While I angrily brushed my clothes and straightened them out, Dillon glanced Harry who was staring daggers right at him. I needed to separate them. "Sis, I can't leave you alone with-"
My voice got louder,"I said I'll handle it okay?!" I ended up yelling, which actually got a reaction from Harry. He turned his head, and his face when I saw it looked like he was seeing a tiny little penguin puff itself out and squawk at enemies. A good analogy for me I thought.
My brother eyed me for a split second before storming out of the room, and shortly after, down the stairs, not even tilting a nosehair at Harry this time.
With a huff of satisfaction, and a sudden burst of confidence, I walked to my bedroom door to shut it. When I did, a shiver ran down my back, and the confidence faded away just like that. Harry's new aura of dominance and no nonsense radiated in the room. I felt so small and submissive just being in his presence. I may just be thinking out loud and stating the obvious, but what the fuck happened to Harry?
"Why is he here?" He simply said.
I didn't turn around and face him, I did the opposite and stared at the door,"I should be asking the same thing about you."
Like a sixth sense I felt Harry hesitate. He stayed silent.
That was when I reared on him, fists clenched,"You can't just leave me like that and then come back to have sex with me Harry!" At saying his name, my voice decided to crack.
I got a good look at him through my tear forming eyes. He looked about the same as last night. Thinking about it I actually felt disgusted, and...used.
Harry was about to say something when I just couldn't take it. I wimply rushed forwards and pushed on Harry's chest as hard as I could so he'd flop on the bed and hopefully hit his head. He didn't, but I didn't have time to make sure because I was running out of the room about to bawl, and I knew exactly what Dillon was going to say.
