I'm nothing more than a person with ambitions. I don't care what you think of me as long as you obey. I acknowledge that I have weird methods, but they work. Well for me they do. I've been at the top ever since. I loved being at the top of the food chain. Some will say I'm just plain bad, but I say I'm just wired differently. As alpha I get and make. It was just as simple as ABC. You disobey, you get punished. Whatever I say, you simply have to obey. Lately though, everything has been thrown at my face like a wet towel.

I know what life should be like. In my own chaotic way, my vision of life was perfect because I was in charge. Things were simple and in order. I understand that many things and creatures are inferior to me, but that is how it was meant to be.

One week has passed.

A week that Lydia left our mute bastard.

A week that Angie once again came into my life.

A week where awkward tension was between Jezebel and I.

A week where I still waited to gain my title as Alpha.

Ever since I found Jezebel feeding blood from some random dead person, I haven't seen her the same way again. Sure I know that's what a vampire was meant to do but just the simple image replaying over and over in my head caused nausea in me. I try to avoid seeing her as much as possible. All I wanted was my pack. A simple thing I could have done myself but Jezebel kept insisting she was going to do it. I don't know what's taking her long but she better hurry or I will take things in my hands.

I desperately wanted to go back home again and be alpha again. I miss ruling all the simpletons in my life. I love feeling superior and powerful. Here in the city I've been feeling all but that and I couldn't wait to get what was all rightfully mine.

A light drizzle of rain coated my reddish brown fur as I was crouched behind some tall grasses in the park. The city was definitely not a place for a wolf. I wanted to run free again, feel the soft earth under my paws again. A squirrel darted by with nuts filled in its cheek pouch. While others look at it and see something cute, all I see is something to kill. My stomach growled at the sight of it.

Just the mere thought of seeing it how it lasts to live its last breath while I disembowel it nice and slow, made me grinned. I just want to see the light go out in its rodent eyes while I remove its innards and feel the snap in my fangs. Just when I was about to pounce at it, a child chased after the squirrel with its loud ear piercing squeals.

"Baby don't stray too far." A mother sitting on a bench with an umbrella over her head, warned the child.

"Me just playing with the squirrels mommy!" The child jumped up and down.

"Stay where I can see you sweetie." The mother told him.

"Shit." I mumbled under my breath as the squirrel ran up a tree. Thanks to the kid I missed my next meal.

All I wanted was a squirrel! Was that too much to ask for???

I internally groaned and transformed back to my human self. Before anyone could see me naked, I quickly changed into my clothes and pulled on my leather jacket's collar to cover my neck as much as I could as I walked under the light rain. Nothing has been going my way and I hated every single second of it. Little brat ruined everything for me for having a decent meal. Ever since I arrived to the city, I've been eating Jezebel's cooking. All I'm going to say is that the kitchen wasn't meant for Jezebel. And as much as I craved for something from the fast food restaurants, I couldn't have none of that since I had not a single dollar in my pockets. Ever since I took Nicky's credit card, he eventually found out and made sure that I got punished for stealing. Now all I carry in my pockets are lint and some random dead moth that I have no clue how it got in there.

I really feel in the dumps now.

By now the rain started to pour so I ran back to the apartments. Nicky was outside in the apartment stairway blowing a puff of smoke.

"Well, well, well," I shook my wet hair and ran a hand through it, making it go spike up. "Who would have guessed Nicky smoking in front of us?" I smirked.

"I can do what I want besides it's not often I do it."

"Mhm sure." I sat on one of the steps of the stair. "What's bugging you?"

"Nothing," He crushed the cigarette butt and placed it on a tray that sat next to a trashcan bin. "I just like to smoke when it's raining." He sat next to me.

"Cool cool. Mind sharing with me?"

Nicky rolled his eyes and searched in his pockets. He pulled out a packet and handed me one as he then lit it for me.

I inhaled slowly, my system responding to the smoke, and I felt my lungs being wrapped by a warm blanket. Taking small, slow draws of the cigarette, I felt delighted, like I had never felt before since these last few days.

"You know smoking is bad." Nicky went.

"Excuse me?" I couldn't help but to crack up. "This coming from a smoker."

"I'm serious Simon. I know I may not be a good example as well but in your situation, you do it more than I do. Heck I haven't smoke in years until today."

"Then why smoke now after so many years?" I frowned.

"I guess I wasn't feeling well." He looked down on his hands. 

Well this was the first. I've never seen him so down in the dumps before. Something was definitely bugging him but I didn't want to push him by telling me. Besides if he wants me to know he will tell me. He remained quiet not telling me what was on his mind as I blew out a puff of smoke into the air. The thing felt so good coming out from my lips and nostrils. After a while Nicky stood up and headed to go back inside the apartment.

"Just remember what I said Simon." He said.

"Wait what you said?"

"About smoking," he exasperated. "It my numb you in someway but just think of the damages it will leave in its way."

"Your point?" I quirked and eyebrow.

"Try not to do so often." He groaned and slammed the door behind him.

Geez what's his problem today?

And here I thought I was the one with the bad day. I couldn't help but to roll my eyes and toss the end of my cigarette in the tray. Behind me I could hear the door being open I again. I turned back thinking it was Nicky but instead Jezebel came out.

"Hey," She gave me a brief smile. "Mind if we talk?"

My lips went straight and I patted next to me so she could sit down. She sat next to me and placed a strand of her jet black hair behind her ear.

"About last time-"

"No need to tell me," I cut her off. "I get it. That's what vampires do." I shrugged

"Can you let me explain though?" She placed a hand on top of mine.

"What is there to explain?" I frowned. "You got lucky it was me and not my two boys who happened to be living in the same apartment with you. Do you know how wrong that was?"

"I know, I know." She scooted closer to me. "Just listen me out okay. I need blood in order to survive. I was feeling thirsty and we'll I couldn't handle it anymore-"

"Jez I understand," I squeezed her hand gently. "I really do. All I'm asking for you is to be more careful about it."

Her purple eyes stared into mine.

"Wait you're not disgusted by me?"

"No not all." I chuckled. "Though if I may be honest with you I do feel disgusted at the thought of seeing you sucking blood from a dead man."

"Oh that." She laughed. "So you're not disgusted out at me or anything?"

"No. I was just perturbed at the thought of Erwin or Albert being the ones that could have seen you like that."

"So that's why you didn't talk to me for a week?" She bowed her head making half of her hair cover one of her eyes.

"I didn't talk to you because to be honest I was mad you weren't looking for my pack when I could have been searching myself or with Angie."

"Oh her..." She huffed.

"Is there a problem?" I ran a hand through my still wet hair.

"Nope. I'm just glad were talking again. It was getting awkward and all." She laughed.

"Yeah well I'm glad too."

"I got news for you though," Her purple eyes lit up. "I found all the new members for you pack."

"What?" I smiled flashing all of my teeth. "Who? What? When? Where? Why?"

Jezebel guffawed and couldn't contain the laughter.

"All will be answered tomorrow. Dress nice and see you early in the morning." She winked at me and got up.

Finally good news at last!

I stood up and ran down the stairs.

"Hey where you going?" Jezebel called back.

"I'm going to the gym to work out! Mind putting the kids to sleep?" I looked back with a smile that couldn't help but to reveal all of my teeth.

"Anything for you Simon." She rolled her eyes and laughed as she went back inside.

I ran downstairs to the apartment's indoor gym. Just when I arrived a familiar voice caught all my attention.

"Stupid mother trucker!"

I pushed open the gym's doors to see a punching bag swinging back and forth. My eyes trailed down to see Angie sitting on her bottom.

"Damn girl what happened to you?" I laughed.

Her brown eyes quickly lashed out on me.

"Err...I meant dang." I scratched the back of my neck and nervously looked to the side.

I swear, if eyes could kill, her brown eyes would be the death of me.

I went towards her and politely offered her my hand. She harshly took a hold of it and got up.

"If it isn't my favorite person in the world." She rolled her eyes.

"Really?" I smirked. "I'm your favorite?" I winked at her.

"I was being sarcastic." She gave me a deadpanned look.

She really knows how to hurt my feelings.

"So what brings you here?" She brought me back to reality.

"To workout duh what else?"

"I don't know. Maybe be the creepy perv you are?"

"Seriously?" I frowned.

"Could be." She nonchalantly shrugged.

"Well I got news for you," I crossed my arms over my chest. "First of all, by tomorrow I will be alpha again."

"Good for you." She actually smiled for a second before going serious again.

"Second," I lifted two fingers. "I'm not a perv and I can prove it." I stretched out my hands out towards her.

She looked at it and slightly rose a perfect brow at me.

"Just hold my hand will you?" I rolled my eyes after a long whole minute.

She reluctantly placed her hand on mine. Without waiting for anything else, I took her with me outside.

"Hey where you taking me?" She gasped as I gently tugged her along.

"You'll see." I looked back at her smiled.

I took her outside where by now the rain finally came to a stop. People slowly emerged from their hiding places and came out to enjoy the warm sunlight and fading rainbow running across the sky. I could see Angie slightly smiled as she stared at the sky above her. With out hands still holding together, I took her in front of a glass window of a small shop. I let go of her hand so she could place her hands on the window to see inside.

"Anything you like in there?" I told her.

She bit her bottom lip making me feel things inside.

"Actually there is one thing. Why you brought me here though?" She asked.

"I thought maybe I could get you something that you may like." I smiled at her.

"Hmm." She made her lips go straight but then for the first time ever smiled. "I like that one." She pointed inside the window like a little girl picking out for ice cream.

I peeked inside and followed her finger to what she was pointing at.

A white flower hair clip from all the things caught her attention.

"Very well then. Wait out here while I go get it. Just so you know when I come running out, I need you to run as fast as you can like never before."

"Wait run?" Her face went baffled.

Before I could explain anything else to her, I walked inside the small shop. The sound of the bell announced my presence to everyone inside. The owner of the shop who was an old lady waved at me and came towards me.

"Hello young man. How may I help you with?" The old lady smiled at me. "Is there something you like?"

"No I'm just looking around." I told her.

"Okay well if you need anything just tell me." She walked off.

Oh I need something alright I just won't tell you...

I smirked and casually acted normal. My eyes landed on the white flower hair clip. I got closer to it and snatched it, hiding it in my pocket. Angie's eyes went round as she stared at me through the glass window from outside.

"Sir?"

Shit. The old lady caught me red handed.

"Are you going to buy that?" She narrowed her eyes at me suspiciously.

"Er...uh...I'll pay it later I swear."

"Excuse me????"

Before she could say anything else I ran off.

"Wait! Stop! Come back!" She yelled.

I pushed the doors wide open and managed to grab Angie's hand, pulling her along with me.

"You stoled it????" Angie gasped as she ran close behind me.

"Less talking more running!" I stepped up my running and ran like never before. I was so eager to transform to my wolf form but decided best to just keep running. After running for a while, I stopped.

We were on the rooftop of my apartments, looking down on the city below us. Sweat ran down my face as I  caught my breath after all of that running.

"You stole..." Angie whispered next to me. My chest heaved up and down as I was trying to process the bad thing I just done. I couldn't tell what was her reaction towards me.

"I...had no...cash." I breathed out heavily. I licked my lips tasting the salty taste of sweat. I handed her the flower clip hoping she will forgive me.
She looked down on the flower on her hands. Her lips slightly twitched transforming into a huge grin.

"I can't believe you stole for me." She looked up at me with her bright brown eyes.

"Wait. You're happy about this?" My voice cracked in shock.

Her reaction was definitely was not what I was thinking.

"Of course not!" She punched my shoulder. "Stealing is bad. Though..."

Her next move caught me off guard.

She gave me a quick hug and realized what she did. She took a step back and cleared her throat.

"Like I said stealing is bad but it was fun I have to admit." She gave me a sly grin.

Oh gosh I love this girl.

My heart was accelerating a hundred miles per hour. The brief hug of hers left me wanting for more. I smiled ear to ear seeing her beautiful smile light up with a glow that I never would have thought that it was worth stealing just for her.

"Here let me put it on for you." I offered.

She accepted my offer and handed me the flower clip. Just seeing her smile made me do things that I never thought of doing or was capable of doing. I braided a small strand of her hair and placed the white flower clip to the side.

I couldn't help but to take in all of her beauty.

She closed her eyes and smiled.

"You are so going to pay for it tomorrow."

Wait what?

She opened her eyes and had a playful smirk on.

"I love bad. Thanks for the gift Hawthorn."

"You're welcome?" It came out in a question.

She laughed and ran off saying, "See you tomorrow!"

She ran down the flight of stairs disappearing. The white flower clip was the last I saw of her before she vanished.

My mouth slightly parted as I stared at nothing in particular.

"I may be in love... I'm falling in deep for that girl."
