49

After me pinning her about 6 more times I told everyone to stop and run the last 20 minutes. After running I was feeling very sweaty, and gross. As we walk back to the house I pull my shirt off over my head. I look to my side to see if Violet was looking. I'll be honest, I'm acting like a teenage boy searching for a girls attention, but this was the only way to know if she found me interesting or not. I see her look at me with wide eyes before looking away with bright pink cheeks. I smile, feeling accomplished. My wolf felt the same way.

We get back to the house and I turn to face everyone. My wolf growls at the sight of the other females staring at me with wide eyes. He wanted only our mate to look at us. "We will meet same time tomorrow everybody. Go get showers, you leave for school in half an hour. Before you 10 new members leave come find me in my room. I have something for you all." As I say this they all nod and walk past me to go inside. Allison is the only one who stays. I frown. "What's up Allison?" I ask, feeling slightly annoyed, but I hide it. "I was just wondering... um.. what are you doing tonight?" She says it so fast I barely understand what she is asking. I knew this day would come eventually.

I sigh. "I am going to visit another pack tonight. Why?" I ask. She blushes. "Well.. what about this weekend? Friday night?" She asks with a nervous smile. "Why Allison?" I ask. She looks at the ground, clearly embarrassed. "Well... I... I really like you Heath, and I just... I was hoping maybe you liked me too?" She looks up at me and I look at her, slightly shocked she just admitted it to me. I stiffen when I smell Violet coming back out. The scent stops moving closer and I can tell she's hiding. Sneaky little mate. "Allison, I've known. For a long time. You're way to obvious. But I'm sorry, I have to say no." I say this and Allie frowns. "But.. why not?" She asks. I hear the sadness in her tone. "You're my little sisters friend, and you're not my mate. I would never consider that Allison." I say, making her growl quietly.

"What if I was your mate? Wouldn't you consider that then? I don't see why me being her friend has anything to do with it!" She says, starting to get mad. I growl. "If you were my mate, then that would be different. But you're not. I simply have no feelings or interest in you Allison, I'm sorry. If I did, you would know." I say in a solid tone. She needed to stop this, and when I finished talking to her, I would tell Michelle to stop trying to set me up with her friends. Allison looks hurt by my words. She pushes past me and runs into the house. I sigh and turn around.

"You can come out now." I say. I hear Violet's heartbeat speed up as she steps out and walks over to me. "Sorry.. I didn't mean to.. I was coming to ask you something and just heard you talking.. I'm sorry.." I smile at her shyness. I shake my head. "It's fine, mia piccolo smeraldo." She looks up at me, clearly confused. I just give her a cheesy grin. "What's that mean?" She asks. I shrug. "Pin me down one of these days and I might tell you." I wink and start walking towards the house. She runs to catch up with me. "What did you wanna ask?" I ask her. "Uh.. I was wondering if you would give me some one on one training..." She asks. I can sense her nervousness. I stop and look down at her. "Sure thing. We can talk about that later though. I can tell you want to ask something else. So what is it?" I ask.

She look away again. "Why did you turn her down really?" She asks, looking back at me with curiosity. I sigh. "I really don't like her. But if you mean my main reason? It's because I'm interested in someone else." I see something flicker in her eyes as I say this. She nods slowly. "Go get a shower Violet. You need to leave for school soon." She nods and runs past me into the house. I let out a sigh I didn't realize I was holding. I look at the time and frown before picking up my jacket from the ground and running upstairs to my room.

I take a quick shower then pull on some jeans and a t-shirt. I pull out the bag and pull out all 11 boxes. I had bought all of the kids in the training group brand new cell phones. Eventually I'd get everyone of the new members one. I figured these guys could get there's early. I had an extra now that Chad wasn't around. I throw the extra into the bag. I write names on each box and put my number into each phone and putting each of their numbers into my own. When I get to Violet's I smirk and pull it out of the box. I add my number but instead of my name I type in 'Big Bad Scary (not cute) Alpha.' It barely fit. I put the phone back into the box. When I put her number into my phone I just type it in as what I had called her earlier, only in English this time.

I hear a knock on my door and walk over to open it. I let them all in. I look and make sure everyone is here. I notice Violet talking to Aaron. I hear her say "I'm ok." and faintly hear him growl about if Chad touches her again he will kill him. I smile, liking that this boy would be there to protect her at school, however I also didn't like how close he was to her. I ignored it for now. "I got you all a little something." I tell everyone and start giving each of them their boxes. They open them and I hear excited gasps and cheers. "I set my number in them, so I will text you if training is ever canceled." I hand Violet hers last and give her a smile. "Everyone should be heading to school now. Have a good first day." I smile as everyone starts leaving. I watch Violet leave and before Aaron can follow her, I grab his arm and pull him back.

"I need to talk to you." I say. He nods slowly. "What is it?" He asks. "How did you know about Chad?" I ask. He sighs. "Chad has always done that crap. He always tries to get Violet. I don't know why he can't find some other girl. I know so many that would love to do what he wants." He says with a growl. I just nod. "What's your relationship with her?" I ask, slightly nervous to hear his answer. He laughs. "Oh me and Violet? She's like my little sister. Our moms were best friends." He says. I nod slowly. I decide to tell him. I shut the door and he looks confused. "I need to tell you something. Now do not jump to conclusions got it?" I say with a growl. He nods, confusion across his face. "Violet is my mate." I say slowly. His eyes go wide. I sigh and slowly explain to him before he can jump to anything. After explaining, he nods in understand. "Alright, but why did you tell me this?" He asks. "I want you to keep an eye on her in school and when I'm not around. Keep that Chad guy away from her." I tell him. He nods slowly. "You got it Mr. Alpha." He says with a smile. I nod, one less thing to worry about.
