I awoke Friday morning and my body was tense, a warmness had settled into my body. I sat up remembering that tomorrow was the tournament before I could think about it more a knock sounded at my door.
"Liam you up?" my father's deep voice called.
"Yeah," I called back. My father stepped into my room, his massive frame took up most of the doorway.
"Your principal called yesterday to inform me that they suspended you until you're mated."
"Yeah because of your announcement."
"He also informed me that you were seen leaving the school grounds with Logan Piers?" He asked, I just stared at him. I wasn't going to lie or even try to defend myself. The sigh my father had just made, told me he already knew the truth. "Dammit, Liam I thought we spoke about this!"
"No, you spoke and expected me to listen and follow blindly like always!" I screamed back, jumping out of bed. "I am not mating Brady, I feel nothing towards him, he is arrogant, and a complete and total ass!" I began counting on my fingers. "Logan is my Alter Fatili and you know it! Everyone knows it!"
"Luna give me strength! You're going to the doctors to confirm you're not already pregnant!" He growled.
"Are you fucking kidding me right now?!" I screamed. "I haven't fucking slept with him!"
"You expect me to believe you?!" he growled. "Logan will never be the alpha of this pack! And until the tournament you are staying in this fucking house!" he yelled slamming my door.
I was flabbergasted. My own father didn't believe or respect a single word I had said. He and Papa raised me to know better. I wasn't a stupid kid anymore! And I was going to prove to him I wasn't. I quickly got dressed, throwing on my jeans and a baggy hoodie and slipping on my sneakers. I marched out my door and down the stairs to face my father in the kitchen.
"Look I get it, okay I honestly do, you want to protect me because you feel that you couldn't protect papa." My father opened his mouth to speak but I raised my hand up to stop him. "No, let me finish. Ever since I was little, I thought something was wrong with me but recently I felt free for the first time in my life. I am happy, father. You may have your mind made up about Logan and fine because I can't change your mind, but I hope this isn't the case. He is a strong alpha and you know this. He makes me happy and yes you can argue that we don't know each other well but who's fault is that?" I asked. "You kept us apart knowing there was a pull between us. I am not a kid anymore you have to let me make my own mistakes okay? Tomorrow the tournament will happen, and you will have no say in who I pick but let's be honest we both know who it will be. So, you have about 24 hours to pick a side father, your pack or your own flesh and blood." And with that, I turned on my heels and ran out the front door.
I had started walking down the street when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned and saw Charlie walking behind me.
"What Charlie?" I stopped and asked as he jogged to catch up with me.
"Nothing I was put on babysitting duty," Charlie said nonchalantly as he kicked the sidewalk with his boot.
"Babysitting duty?" I asked confused. He couldn't mean me?
"Before your wheels start turning omega boy, any unmated alpha right now can smell you from miles away you really shouldn't be outside." He explained. "Logan is busy at work right now, so he asked me to make sure you were accompanied anywhere you went today.
"Fuck!" I stomped my foot. "I got into it with my father and completely fucking forgot." Even though I was set to be mated off which protected me from alphas in our pack. Our pack backed up right into the outlands if there was a feral alpha anywhere within miles, they would be able to smell my heat. "Where does Logan work?"
"Downtown at Mack Garage," Charlie spoke. "If you wanna go, my car is parked around the corner." I nodded and followed Charlie to his car.
**
Upon arriving, I immediately scented Logan as soon as I opened the passenger car door. And I simply just followed my nose. Which lead to me finding Logan covered in grease bent over a car, hands buried deep in it as he tightened something. He looked like he has stepped out of one of those movies, the moment I saw him I could feel the slick starting to drip out of me, and Logan scented it immediately marching forward towards Charlie growling.
"Dude chill I brought him to you!" Charlie growled back as he stuck his hands up in surrender. I whimpered as my nose caught wind of the pheromones Logan had just released to prove his dominance over Charlie. Logan immediately turned towards me.
"What are you doing here?!" he asked in a condemning tone like I had done something wrong. I was immediately taken back by his tone.
"Well if that's how you are going to speak to me, I'll just go then." I scoffed as I turned to walk away Logan grabbed my arm and pulled me back towards his chest.
"Stop." He growled in my ear. "Until tomorrow you are not going anywhere alone." I jerked out of his grip.
"Don't you think I know that! I am not a child and I fucking wish everyone would stop treating me that way!" I screamed and stomped out of the garage. I needed fresh air my head was spinning ,I walked down the side of the garage.
I felt like I was going insane, my body was heating up, I felt like I was on fire. I couldn't handle how everyone was treating me like I was some stupid child. Okay so maybe I was acting like one a little bit, but I had every right to... Right? God, it was times like this I wished I had my papa around. I had looked up and seen that the back of the garage had lined up perfectly with the park. I found a nice shady tree and plopped my ass down.
The park was peaceful, you could hear the squeals and laughter of children across the pond that divided the park. I absentmindedly place my hand on my stomach realizing that in a few short days I would be carrying a pup or two. That thought made my heart happy. I thought about my life and where it was going. The unknown scared me I did not like it, but knowing that Logan would be by my side, made it seem less scary.
"Over there is where it all happened, you know?" Logan's voice called as he sat down behind me, pulling me in between his legs, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. He was referring to the day when he shifted as a pup.
"Sorry for storming out... Lately, my head has been a mess." I said as I snuggled back into him.
"I know baby, and I'm sorry I shouldn't have talked to you like that." He kissed the back of my head. "Charlie told me you had a fight with your dad?"
"Yeah, the principal called him to inform him I was seen leaving school grounds with you. He wanted to take me to the doctors to see if I was pregnant yet." I rumbled.
