Belle

The Enemy

The night before I had collapsed on the bed from being so tired from crying, but when I woke up I was surprisingly comfortable, my eyes felt heavy as I slowly opened them to come face to face with Macy. She was sound asleep and snoring softly, I smiled slightly at her unconscious self before moving closer to her, careful to shift slowly so I didn't wake her. She had listened to me whine for hours last night without even saying one word of complaint, it had been a while since we'd had some time alone together like that and I felt bad for turning it into a therapy session with her rather than a chance to just watch a movie together or something more enjoyable. It reminded me though of how amazing she was, now that she was in my life I didn't know what I'd do without her in all honesty, this experience would be so much more difficult without her help.

I laid there beside her for a while longer before kissing her forehead then getting up to brush my teeth and hair, if Macy didn't get up soon I'd have to wake her up myself since we didn't go to sleep till about 1 in the morning it was already 11:00 and it'd take some time for us to get ready, it also was about an hour drive to get to Riley and Bethany's pack territory. I walked downstairs to the kitchen to make some breakfast before a soft knock sounded at the door, I sighed lowly praying it wasn't another problem being thrown onto my plate, especially Jasper or Mark declaring a fight I didn't think I could handle that right now after last night. As I neared the door though the smell of flowers swept over me and I immediately knew who was at the door, although I wondered why she was here right now. My mother was standing on the porch, looking at the camp before seeing me open the door, she looked at me with that familiar, loving smile.

"Hi mom, why are you here?" I shook my head quickly, regretting phrasing it like that,

"I mean I'm just surprised that you're here after... how last night went" My tone dropped halfway through the sentence,

"Well your dad wants to talk to Macy at some point soon to talk that out, he really was ashamed of himself for acting the way he did," she paused as I let her inside,

"But you know your father" she made a disapproving yet loving face at the ground,

"He doesn't know how to confront anyone when it comes to personal matters so that's why I'm here" she looked at me.

"Well I'm fine with it but Macy may want him to ask her himself, she's asleep right now though so we'll have to find out later" I walked past her into the kitchen to finish cooking breakfast, she followed behind me.

"Don't you have a pack meeting in a few hours?" she asked while sitting down at the table, I could tell she was referencing to Macy not being downstairs yet,

"Yeah, I'm going to wake her up soon to get ready if she doesn't wake up on her own" I grabbed a skillet from one of the cabinets while speaking,

"Who is going to watch over the pack while you're gone?" I stopped what I was doing, I hadn't even thought about who would watch over the pack while we were gone. I tried to brush it off, thinking quickly of someone who was capable enough just to keep watch over things for a few hours,

"Um Mike can do it, he's experienced enough to take care of things for a little bit" Luckily my voice stayed steady,

"Doesn't he lose his temper pretty quickly?" My mom asked. That was true, he did lose his temper a bit easier but I decided to reply with something she couldn't disagree with,

"I think they can handle a temporary Alpha who is a bit hot-headed, they dealt with one for the last 51 years" My mother chuckled,

"That's true, but although your dad is a bit... rash. He was a good Alpha, who knew when to draw the line and keep his members safe"
