Chapter 3
Ally’s POV
We were discussing college options.
All supernatural communities, including the packs and clans took up the responsibility of educating their young until the high school level before letting them leave to study in whatever college they desired, with humans. It was the only time supernaturals were able to share the same space or air without the need for confrontation, because confrontation meant exposure to the humans and confidentiality was the only rule all the supernaturals agreed on completely.
"We've had this discussion before and you know that-"
"You can't leave Myers here while you go to college in the West or probably East. North is out of it entirely." He answered,stealing a fry from my plate.
I rolled my eyes. Everyone knew that there were only mountains in the North, the human population the lowest in the entire country although there were rumors that some packs lived there. Our pack, the Rocca Tribe was located in the forest region of Creemore, a little town thirty minutes away from the country's largest city, Toronto.
"I prefer to go West though. That's where most of us are likely to be at, especially with the vampires overpopulating the East."
"Come on. Let's go East. I've heard tales that the most beautiful women are from the East. Besides, we'll get to see the famous Gomez Tribe for ourselves."
"Like it's not the Gomez girls you're after."
I snorted and stole his cup of ice cream.
He tried to pin me with a glare and sighed when I didn't budge.
"Ally, please. There are so many tribes to check out in the East. Besides, the human population is more there than West."
"I'll think about it. But the Saskat River in the West is beautiful and the weather is—"
We were interrupted when Raymond walked in with a group of people. After telling them to reserve a seat for him, he strolled to meet us, a smirk on his face. I adjusted my glasses and gave Caleb a look that said,
Please don't fight him.
Raymond was the son of Grant, my father's second. He was also the guy I lost my virginity to, when I was going through a rebellious phase.
After that, I think he assumed that we were going to have our happily ever after, where he would become Alpha and make all his dreams come true. Unfortunately for him, I kicked his ass to the curb after waking up the next morning and we'd been at loggerheads ever since.
"Well,well,look what the wind blew in my direction today. Hello, Allyson." He said and gave me a smug look. I sighed and placed a hand on my forehead, the poker face I'd had to perfect over the years intact. I could have done better than him.
"What do you want?" Caleb attempted to say but came out as a growl, his face impassive. I knew Caleb enough to know that he would attack if provoked. And Raymond, from the glint in his eyes was set to provoke him.
"Well, hello to you too, Caleb. Thanks, by the way for watching out for my sweetheart while we were apart."
"What do you want, Raymond?" I said, looking up to glare at him, and he smirked,eyeing me up and down.
To think there was a time in my life where I'd fantasized about getting into his pants, I shook my head and sighed in regret.
"I want us to talk, Ally. Like a real talk. Without Mr bodyguard, of course." He said seriously before eyeing Caleb like he was some kind of poison.
"Well, she doesn't want to talk to you, punk. So waddle away." I chuckled when I saw that Caleb's words had wiped the smirk from his face.
But then he smiled, and whispered
"At least I was the one that got into her pants. Not you, smartass."
He turned to leave, but not before Caleb stood up and tackled him on the ground, his fangs already showing.
The entire cafe had stopped what they were doing to witness the fight. If there was anything werewolves loved more than hating vampires, it was watching fights. I could see all of them ready to start chanting.
Although I wanted to let Caleb have his fun with Raymond, I had to stop him.
"Please, Caleb. Trust me, it doesn't matter."
"I won't let him disrespect you and get away with it." Caleb's green eyes were already wolf-blue, Raymond's brown eyes amber as his wolf waited for Caleb to land the first blow, which would automatically lead to a fight that ended in spilling blood and broken bones.
Then I remembered something and I smiled. "Just let him go, Caleb. His dignity is already down the drains. Not every guy would be happy to know that you screwed their girlfriend and sister, on the same day." I whispered, knowing that everyone in the diner with werewolf senses would hear me and I'm sure I heard someone gasp.
Raymond's face paled and Caleb smiled triumphantly at the memory. Standing up,he whispered "Well, Ashley and Rayna were good lays, by the way."
"You son of a bitch" It was Raymond's turn to see red. Some guys had come over to restrain him, while Caleb helped me to gather my books. "Bye." We said simultaneously and turned to leave the cafe when we heard a piercing scream.
I'm sure everyone else heard it too, because all of us ran out to see what was going on.
The scream was from Mrs Nettle's house five houses away and when we got there, a small crowd had gathered around something.
A girl was on the floor, lifeless with black liquid foaming at her mouth and when I moved closer to see her face, I gasped and covered my mouth.
It was Ashley, the same Raymond's girlfriend that we'd spoken about not too long ago.
