The Rejected Female Wolf - Chapter 31: Chapter 31

"Jenna that's dangerous. Please don't ever do that again. You could've gotten hurt and I wouldn't have been there to help you."
"I had to Jared."
"You don't have to do anything Jenna."
"But I did. Jared since you were in a coma someone had to step up and be alpha and that person was me."
He stayed quiet and then opened his mouth to say something but decided against it and closed it.
"Why?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Why what?"
"Why did you become Alpha. Out of everyone why did you step up and volunteer?" He looked like he was trying to understand me.
"I didn't want anyone ruining this pack and it should be me next as Alpha so I took hold of the title and I was actually supposed to start training today but I ran into Carolyn and them this happened," I waved my hand to outside.
"Oh. And when you said that you came to visit me did you?"
"Yes," I spoke sincerely," I came to visit you. I actually fell asleep with you last night and I had to be carried to my room."
He smiled at me and I returned it. "Jenna can we be brother and sister like we were when we were younger. Because I'll be honest that when you came back and didn't want to be my sister I felt guilty and depressed. I felt guilty that I knew that you wouldn't give me a second chance because of what I did. I also felt depressed that my sister didn't want me to be in her life and that I had lost you like mom and dad," he gulped.
I wrapped my arms around him. "I missed you Jared and I DO want you in my life."
"So brother and sis?" He asked with hope in his eyes. I nodded my head and flashed him a grin. He grinned from ear to ear and hugged me.
"Can't....breathe.." I gasped out. He let go and looked scared that he hurt me for a minute but then relaxed once I laughed at his expression.
I stood up to go when he asked me something I wasn't expecting for him to ask so soon.
"How come you're stronger and faster than other wolves and you never shift in front of others?"
"Jared, I don't want to be mean but I can't tell you that just yet. One day, I will and when I do that'll be the day that I'll be wanted," I whispered the part about me being wanted really low so that he couldn't hear.
He nodded his head and stood up. "Well I have to go catch up on all the pack work see you later sis," he hugged me and kissed my forehead before departing.
I sighed in relief. One down and one more to go. Time to find Luke. Oh, boy will this be hard.
If I were Luke and I had just gotten upset where would I go? I have no idea. Crystal talk to his wolf and get him to tell us where he is.
'Ugh! Is this the only reason why you keep me around? Just for help?' She asks.
'No.....'
'Fine then you look for him.'
'No! I'm sorry okay? I was just joking around. I really need your help to find him.'
'Okay.'
As she tried to figure out where he is, I looked around my old pack house and found the room I used to live in before I ran away. I hesitantly grabbed the knob and twisted it. Pushing the door open, I peaked inside.
My eyes widened and my jaw fell. Everything was exactly the same way it was. Not a single item was messed with. All the stuff I had spilled from my backpack that day was there. Only difference now was that I was back and I had changed.
What really surprised me is that Luke was laying across my bed and he was buried deep beneath the covers.
Was he awake? I walked over to him and sat on the edge of the bed. "Luke?" I asked tentatively.
Movement was stirred and he lifted his head up and laid it on the pillow. He blankly stared at the white ceiling. "After you left, I would come in here for days and sometimes I would fall asleep here just awaiting for you," he quietly spoke. There was absolutely no emotion behind his voice.
I was utterly confused as to why he was talking about my departure. "I actually thought that maybe if I came to your room everyday that one day you would appear and forgive me. After a couple of months of this, Jared grew frustrated at me. He yelled at me saying that you were gone. That we screwed it up and that because of us you would never return. He would be the lonely brother and I would be a depressed man without his mate. It was a slap of reality for me. I quit hanging around your room, knowing that I was foolish and tried to recover. That's where the sleeping around came in. All the pack work and hunters was putting too much stress on me so o decided to sleep around with random girls to relieve it. It didn't work," he took a deep breath and continued.
