Chapter twenty-four~Leaving

Kaylee's P.O.V.

I finally decided that going out with Nehemiah was a good idea. I needed to get Baylon off of my mind and I really felt like after all that's happened that I needed a break. Go out to eat, have a laugh and take a breather. So much has been on my mind.... like moving back to Wisconsin. I met Nehemiah at some local pizzeria called pizza heaven. I personally never ate there, but he said that it really was heaven. I couldnt wait, my mom was a great cook. But pizza was a great junkfood day.

I got to the pizza place and he was already sitting and drinking a soda, looking for me out by the window. Gosh, he was definitely handsome. But he didn't give me the Baylon butterflies. He was adorable with his caramel curls and sexy babydoll eyelashes. Maybe it was good that I didn't feel the same about him. He couldn't consume me, seeing as I was going back home across country, it was a good idea to just hang out. I went in and sat across from him in the booth seat that he'd chosen. "Hey, how long have you been here waiting...not too long I hope." I smiled. "Aww, no. I really just got here. What type of pizza would you like?

"Supreme, I like everything!" I gave him a big cheesy grin. He smiled back "me too.". He went to order our pizza , but quickly ran back over," Damn, I forgot to ask, what would you like to drink?"  "Ah, a root beer?" He gave me a thumbs up and went to complete the order. I looked out of the window to do a little people watching... and Lo and behold who do I see glaring at me from across the street? Baylon...and his entire crew. They were all standing on the sidewalk talking, but I knew that they were out there keeping watch over me. It was annoying and flattering all at the same time.. He did want me and he felt like he had made a huge mistake letting me go.... I decided I would make him squirm.
I felt like I wouldn't even be able to concentrate anymore with him right there. I literally could smell him over the pizza from all the way across the street. He was my mate for cripes sake. I decided that I wasn't gonna allow him to get inside of my mind, I was just gonna concentrate on nehemiah and continue hanging out.

He came and sat back down and instantly he knew......."Wow, Alpha Baylon is not gonna give us a break huh? Tell me again, why don't you wanna be with him?" I frowned. "He doesn't realize that he can't treat me like he did and expect me to want to be with him." Nehemiah kinda smirked and then he giggled a bit "you guys will be back together, but I love spending time with you anyway. I like being the trouble maker." He said kind of nonchalantly. It kind of made me feel like it made no difference to him either way.

I replied quickly with "well, first he and I will not be together because he doesnt realize how I should be treated, and secondly....." I paused. "I won't even be here anyway. I wanted to tell you that."

He looked confused. "My family is going back to wisconsin." He shrugged "Well, this is pointless then isnt it? Just when I am getting to know you, your gonna leave me behind." He laughed a little. "When did you find out anyway?" He asked.. "Well, my mom and brother told me and Kaya last night. I do really like it here though. I wish that I could stay." He gave me a sly smile. "Well....your little boyfriend over there just might be able to make that happen...did I tell you that he came to my house and forbade me to see you again? Of course he took it back, otherwise I wouldn't be here. But he really doesn't want us to be around each other. He threatened to kill me." I was taken aback by his statement.

"So if he didn't take it back....you wouldn't be here?" I asked. "I can't go against my Alpha. But I did tell him that if he did forbid me, I would tell you what he did. When you have an alpha, you have to listen to him..I know that you don't understand that yet, but This is my pack and I am gonna be on the counsel and pack protection. So I listen when an order is given to me. And I do feel some kind of way about my Alpha standing over there staring at me.....And you are leaving." I kinda felt like I really didn't like how he spoke right then, but I guessed that he was right.

"How was his reaction to you saying that you'd tell me?" I asked as I gazed out of window at Baylon....He looked at me and INSTANTLY I could feel my blood warm up with excitement. I couldn't deny it, I was in love with him. "He said that it didn't matter." I quickly turned to face Nehemiah. "What? ....I mean what does that mean?" I tried to sound nonchalant. "That he doesn't care whether I tell you or not, he'd win you, because he's the Alpha." I felt my stomach turn..I'm a prize to be won? and he's gonna win me?

I decided right then that I didn't care whether he was the Alpha, my mate, or if I was in love with him....He'd never WIN me. I am a person not a prize. Guess I was leaving to go back with my family to wisconsin. "Could you give me a ride home, I'm not really feeling well anymore. I've lost my appetite." "Sure, let me just get the food." He replied.

We walked outside to his car and Baylon walked up to us with all of his pack friends...." Hey Kay, uh, you going home?" He asked "None of your business Baylon. I do not have to report anything to you, you are not MY alpha. And I am not a prize to be won either. So you and all of your buddies can go find something else better to do beside surveillance on my life."I yelled, then I jumped in the car and slammed the door.

He spoke with nehemiah and then he jumped in the car and we drove off. I didn't even ask what was said, I didn't care, I was done. Finally we made it to my house, well what used to be my house. I was angry, disappointed, but more than anything I was so sad. I hated and loved him so much. "Thankyou so much Nehemiah. Your so sweet." I kissed him on the Cheek. He put his hand on my cheek and lightly kissed my lips "I hope that you will remember me all the way in wisconsin. I know that I won't forget you." He smiled and so did I.

"Your hard to forget nehemiah" I whispered. "Bye." I jumped out of the car to go in and suddenly he beeped the horn quickly. "Hey! This pizzas yours!"

I smiled and grabbed it "thanks" I curtsied........I went into the house and didn't spot anyone...maybe they all were saying their goodbyes at the pack house. I went straight to my room. Packing time, I was gonna eat that whole pizza and pack my bags and cry.........I was leaving.
