Chapter 8
Aubrey's POV
Alex and I were slouched on the navy blue sofa in my living room watching a french soap opera. We can't understand a word they say but we love watching this show.
It's called Le désir de Coeur. According to google translation that means Heart's Desire.
"No Nicolette don't believe her!" I shouted as the young blonde listened to her lying sister
Her sister was trying to get with Nicolette's lover Gerald. Since both Alex and I just never took French we made up what was going on.
"Oh run man she is out for blood." Alex laughed as Nicolette stormed to Gerald's office across the hall
Both Alex and I leant forward as she began screaming in French.
"Gerald how could you cheat on maw. I am your louver." I said in a French accent
"My lovely Nicolette it is not what you think." Alex played along
"Than why did you kiss my sister in yesterday's episode." I cried
Alex chuckled at my dramatic acting. I was still in my blue summer dress and him in a pair of red khakis and a white v neck.
Nicolette's sister walked in just as Gerald was shaking his lover. I gasped as Nicolette kissed him in front of her sister.
"Yeah." Alex said at the same time I said "Bitch!"
"What are you guys doing?" Kelly asked from her room
We didn't answer as we tried making out what the two sisters were shouting at each other. The sound of heels clacked on our wooden floor as Kelly walked into the living room.
"This stupid show again. That blonde is a home wrecker who sleeps with her cousin's father."
"How do you know Nicolette is a home wrecker?" Alex defended with his eyes still glued to the tv
"Two years of French." Kelly replied
So we have been assuming the wrong thing, what a surprise. Our version was more interesting but now that I think about it I have wondered why Gerald holds that little girl all the time.
"You ruined our fun- whoa." I said with my eyes wide
Alex turned to look at Kelly and his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Kelly was wearing a figure hugging mid thigh high sleeveless dress that dipped low in the chest area. Her blue hair was straight and out over her shoulders. She was wearing the same blue colored heels that made her legs look endless.
Pushing off the sofa I circled her perfect outfit. "Kel you look wow!" I smiled
Kelly placed her hands on her hips and grinned proudly. Leave it to Kelly to be conceited. I touched the silky black dress lost in it's smoothness.
"Who's the lucky guy who gets you." I asked
Kelly fluttered her lashes and opened her mouth when there was a loud crunching sound. I turned and saw Alex open his hand as pieces of the remote dropped out.
My eyes opened in shock. He crushed our remote!
"Yeah who's the douche." Alex laughed humorlessly
Kelly crossed her arms over her chest. "You'll find out in a minute."
I looked between their heated gazes, I don't feel comfortable standing in the middle. It's like I'm in some silent fight.
The sound of a hard knock never sounded so good. Kelly stepped forward but I ran to the door first.
Haha I got it first, I thought. Swinging the door open I was surprised at the man standing there in black cargo pants and a see through white button down shirt.
I gawked at his exposed chest. He ran his fingers through his thick dark hair.
"Are you going to let me in?" Hunter asked with a raised brow
I stepped aside letting him in. This couldn't be the guy Kelly was talking about. But judging by her smile he is.
"Ready to go?" Hunter asked not once mentioning how great she looks
"Yup, good to see you have pants on this time." Kelly smiled as she grabbed a thin coat off the rack
"I figured I need them if we are out at a family restaurant." Hunter chuckled
A deep growl came from behind me but I didn't turn around. Instead I clenched my fists at the obvious private joke. Since when did Kelly like Hunter and when was his pants off?
"Your not going out with him." Alex growled
Surprised I turned to see Alex up on his feet with the same murderous look from yesterday. Kelly pursed her lips out and rolled her eyes.
"Relax I'll take good care of her." Hunter grinned wickedly
He snaked his arm around Kelly's waist and pulled her to his side. I dug my fingers into my palm at the small gesture.
"Sit your ass down Kelly." Alex said through clenched teeth not breaking eye contact with Hunter
We never dated a guy Alex disapproved of. It was a rule Kelly and I made up in high school. Alex just seemed to know which guys were bad news.
Kelly turned for the door with Hunter glued from the torso up.
"Kelly." Alex growled
"Don't wait up." she said ignoring Alex
Hunter waved with a lopsided grin on his face. The door shut with a thud as Alex stood in the middle of the room with his fists clenched and slightly trembling.
I swung my arms awkwardly. "So you want to see how slutty Nicolette can be?" I laughed
"No, we're going out." he said as he grabbed my keys off the table
"Out?"
Alex nodded as he tossed a light sweater at me. I get the feeling we aren't going out for our normal pizza, I thought as Alex dragged me out of the apartment.
This is not how I expected to spend my night. Hiding outside of a stupid white castle. Geesh could Hunter be less romantic?
There is nothing cute about a bunch of fat old men out for a late snack.
"Alright we see them now let's go." I groaned not wanting to watch Hunter cuddling up to my friend
Kelly bent her head back and laughed at something Hunter said. I gritted my teeth when he reached out and held her hand. The smooth talking ass!
"Shh they'll hear you." Alex hissed
Hear us? They are in the damn fast food place. My legs burned from squatting in one position for a long time. Looking over at Alex I saw he seemed comfortable except for the way he held the side of the window.
"My legs hurt and I'm tired. Can we.." I trailed off as Kelly got off her seat across the table and sat on right beside Hunter
"That rogue is touching my girl." Alex howled when Hunter placed his hand on Kelly's thigh
Rogue? As much as I wanted to ask him to explain I couldn't pull my eyes from Hunter's hand. A painful jolt of electricity shot through my chest.
It felt as if I just got the breath knocked out of me. I held my breath not understanding the sudden pain.
"Aubrey?"
At the sound of my name I turned but didn't realize the small ledge above my head.
"Owww." I clutched the top of my head in an attempt to rid the pain
What is Holden doing here? Alex who was still peeking through the glass didn't ask if I was okay. Jerk! I kicked him in the butt causing him to hit the glass face first.
Kelly looked up just as I dropped flat to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Holden asked
I grabbed his dark blue jean shorts and tugged him down. "Admiring the dirt, what do you think genius!" I hissed
Holden peered up into the restaurant still half on the ground.
"Your spying on Hunter?" he asked sounding a bit edgy
"Kelly is out with that clown." Alex said as he poked his head up
"Didn't I give strict orders for every one to keep away from him!" Holden ground out
I rolled my eyes at his comment. "The world doesn't revolve around you."
Holden's brown eyes narrowed as I crawled away from the wall. I winced as my knees scraped against the concrete ground. Stupid friends!
"You may not listen to me but others do." Holden smirked as he stood up and walked to where I rubbed my sore knees
He held his hand out but I slapped it away. I'm holding on to whatever dignity I managed to save after tonight.
"That's because you manipulate them." I said as I wiped some dirt off my dress
"Me Holden, you listen to Holden." I said in a caveman voice
Holden turned his head to the side glancing at Alex real quick. The bright yellow light above us helped me see Holden's tight face. A muscle in his jaw twitched like it did when he doesn't get his way.
"I'm not like that." he said not looking my way
"Are too. Your a spoiled brat Holden." I said placing my hands on my hips
"I can't hear anything if you too bicker behind me." Alex said in a hushed whisper
He poked his head up as a deep rumbling sound came from his chest. Holden clutched my arm and pulled me away from Alex.
"Hey what are you doing?" I shouted as Holden dragged me further away
Alex straightened with clenched fists as he slammed the fast food restaurants doors open. As he stormed in I caught a glimpse of his dark expression.
What happened? I tried pulling out of Holden's grip but it was no use.
"I need to check on my friends," I hissed
"Your not going back there and stop hitting me." he complained as I pounded on his hard chest
It was useless since Holden is built like a ad for steroids while I am barely stronger than my granny.
"This is kidnapping, let go!"
He ignored me as he continued to drag me effortlessly. Steading my feet I tried with all my strength to at least slow him down.
"Damn it Aubrey we don't have time for this."
"Stop being a jerk." I grunted as I wrapped my arms around a pole
I never thought I'd be so glad to see a pole. Haha get me now you big gorilla!
As if hearing my thoughts Holden wrapped one hand around my slender waist and pulled me.
I gasped "Geez your taking muscle head to a new meaning."
"You'll thank me later when.." he was cut off by a loud crashing sound followed by loud screams
I whipped my head toward the fast food place just as customers and employees ran out. Holden yanked my arm roughly but I managed to keep to my spot.
"I don't see them." I whispered as there was another loud crashing sound followed by a ear shattering howl
"Aubrey go!" Holden shouted
Just than I saw Hunter stride out with a dark expression on his face. He wiped the corner of his mouth of what I now recognized was blood.
"Alex stop!" Kelly's voice rang as the doors swung up
Alex emerged with Kelly close behind him. He was breathing heavily as he stared daggers at Hunter.
"Watch yourself dog boy." Hunter growled
"Bring it rogue." Alex said as he stepped forward with a deadly look
I was taken back by the darkness in his eyes, Alex isn't a violent guy. A sly smile spread across Hunter's face.
A shiver ran down my spine at the cold smile. It didn't seem like his normal playful smile.
"Enough!" Holden boomed from beside causing both Alex and Kelly to freeze in their tracks
Hunter turned to look in our direction. A red glow flashed through his eyes when he saw me.
"That is it for one night, now go." Holden said more stiffly
"I don't take orders from you." Hunter laughed but the seriousness on his face didn't reflect his tone
Holden growled baring his teeth when I stood in his way, I had my back to him.
"Everyone chill out." I said as I looked between the four people
"What is going on?" I asked when no one spoke up.
Kelly opened her mouth but quickly shut it when her gaze turned behind me.
"You are going to have tell her soon alpha." Hunter snorted as he stepped back slowly
I felt holden stiffen as soon as Hunter spoke. His eyes were set on Holden never leaving until he was almost out of sight. At the point he glanced at me and dashed away.
Holden let out a deep breath. He sounded like he just cure cancer.
Kelly ran her hands through her blue hair as Alex attempted to calm down. They were at a distance but still pretty close.
"I need to get you home. Holden said as he gripped my arm again
This time I didn't complain as I stared at the area where Hunter was standing.
What did Hunter mean when he said alpha? As I wondered about it I heard a deep howl from the depths of the small entrance to the forest.
I turned to see if I can see the animal but just as a faint ref glow came closer Holden yanked me away.
It was the same black wolf from yesterday.
**** I'd really like your opinions. Any twists in mind, I'll listen :)
