The Pack Mate

8

" I hope you know while you were away I hated you" Violet tells Greyson her face still blushing when they make eye contact as they sit on his bed at two in the morning

"Really? What did I ever do to you" Greyson asks with a laugh Violet raises an eyebrow at him "Oh. We both were equally hateful, but I didn't hate you! How could you hate me?"

"Don't you remember? At all?" She asks

"Remember what?"

"Nothing" she say rolling her eyes putting her attention back into the tv screen.

"Tell me vi." He says.

"It was a long time ago Greyson it doesn't matter anymore"

"If it doesn't then why don't you tell me?" Violet sighs

"Do you remember your going away party?"

"Not really" he laughs " i was quite intoxicated.

"Trust me I know" she mumbles. "I went to see you that night, I thought you were leaving for ever, I don't know why, I think you may have told me and I was stupid, and young enough to believe you." She laughs. " I thought I would see you again once your were like forty or you know old as shit. And I wanted us to be friends even though we fought some times. I told you about how much I would miss you, and how I wouldn't forget you, or your face, or your smell. I told you i would see you again when we're older, when we both have stories to tell each other, I crossed my heart and hoped to die, that I would not forget about you. And you know what you did?"

"What?" Greyson asks staring intently at Violet who's still looking at the tv.

"You threw up on me."

"You're kidding" he says

"Nope. It was horrible I cried for days, and I gave up on you completely" she laughs. "God you're a dick"

"I've grown a lot since then." He tells her

"As have I." She tells him.

"I'll never throw up on you again."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Good. Cause I will beat your fucking ass."

"Id like to see you try."

"Oh really mr. alpha?"

"Really ms. Pack mate"

"You'll see" she smiles

"Do you have school tomorrow?" He asks since tomorrow is Monday

"No, I finished a year early" she coughs as she blows smoke from her mouth.

"You're smart enough for that?" He laughs

"Hardly, your parents were just tired of forcing me to go" she smiles

"Really? I mean I hated classes but I liked school"

"How?" Violet gasps.

"I don't know. I guess it was the only place I wasn't alpha, like yeah everyone was nice to me, but o wasn't the boss anymore I felt normal"

"Well if it helps any, I don't think you're the boss of me" Violet kisses his cheek.

"But I am" Greyson sings as violets phone vibrates.

'Can you unlock the pack house back door? My dad kicked me out again'

Violet groans as she stands and stretches.

'Omw' she replies

"It's cold out side so I'm taking your shirt" she tells Greyson, then goes into the closet grabbing his long sleeve shirt and exchanging it with her tank top.

"Why are you going out side?" He asks as she reenters the room.

"Harken is going to stay in a guest room down stairs tonight. I have to unlock the door"

"Don't fall down the stairs"

"Haven't done that since I was ten." She lies.

Violet goes down the two flights of stairs-almost falling only Twice.

She opens the door the nights cold air stinging her skin, she's now happy she decided to put on greysons large shirt as she looks at her friend shivering. It's too dark to see harken but she grabs his hand and guides him though the darkness to a guest room. Which is when she can finally turn on some light.

Dried blood sits under harkens nose

"What the fuck?" She growls

"Shut up" is all he says going to the adjoined bathroom, beginning to wash off the blood.

"I'm telling alpha he can't hurt you like that!" Violet growls again

"They will do nothing!"

"That's not true-"

"Violet. They know he's a drunk, they know how I live in that house and nothing has happened."

"They don't let the pups get beaten harken!"

"I'm not a pup Violet! I'm an omega I am nothing to this pack but your friend"

"No harken" she says grabbing his face "you are so much more, just because it's yet to be seen means nothing! You are not confined to this pack, if you want to you can go and do-and be, who ever or whatever it is you wish." Tears fall from the boys brown eyes.

"You're my best friend" he cries hugging her

"And you're mine" she kisses the top of his head. "You need rest"

Violet wipes the rest of the blood from his face then he gets in bed. She leaves and as she walks up the stairs she runs into Caleb. She smiles at him.

"I uh smelt him and he smelt sad"

"He's quite said. He in guest room five" he nods and makes his way to the room.

Greyson is asleep when she gets to his room.
