Red/Wolf (Working Title)

Chapter 9: Marry You Randall

Chapter 9: Randall

Friday night had finally arrived. My first week of school had been a blast. It was exciting to be a normal teenager with friends, classes, and no real responsibilities. No one there treated me like a future alpha. I wasn't sheltered, nor given special treatment. I was just Randy, the coolest kid in school.
I turned down weekend get-togethers with my new friends, just to hang out at Satordi's ranch, and just be me. It was nice not to have to hide me increased senses and awesome abilities. I decided that the weekends I would keep to myself, for the wolf.
I was shocked that Kenyon, was still keeping up the charade with Liv. I also was surprised that Liv was still in after, she had figured out about Kenyon's feelings for Sorrell. Maybe she was shallower than I thought or maybe when I told Kenyon to imagine that Liv was Sorrell, he might have actually taken it to heart. Who know what it was but, the fact was, their relationship had the entire school talking, and now Kenyon would be irresistible, like me.
Kenyon decided not to come home immediately after school and once again, as always I was left to vouch for him. I felt like I had been babysitting him for his entire life, but it was like Satordi said "Every wolf for the pack and every pack for the wolf." We had to look out for each other. Satordi even said that when we had tapped into all or our wolf abilities that we would be able to sense when each other was in danger.
Of course we weren't there yet, we still had powers we had not tapped into yet, even shifting was new to us. I was a natural, Kenyon however any break in concentration he would begin shifting back, so he tended to make his phases brief. At least that would always give him a good excuse to turn up missing, I would just tell Aunt Talya that he was practicing his shifting.
Although, I knew I was not lying. I had a pretty good idea, he was somewhere in wolf form, keeping an eye on Sorrell.
When I got to the cottage no story was necessary, because there was a note on the fridge.
Dear Boys,
Going to see your father, will be gone for the weekend. Satordi is taking me. Be good.
Aunt Talya
I let out a sigh of relief for one, because if my dad could have visitors it meant that he was getting better and we would be able to see him soon. It had been three years since me and Kenyon had seen our father. The second reason was that I had an unchaperoned weekend I smiled mischievously wondering what trouble I could get into.
I decided to go to the next town over. There was a reservation there where a tribe of wolf shifters like us lived.
There were times the tribe elders would come over and check on us, to see if we were being "taken care of", there was even a time the chief tried to get Kenyon together with his second oldest daughter.
We both were part of an endangered tribe of wolf shifters. Aunt Talya met them a while back, when Kenyon and I were in elementary school. They were not exactly like us but they were similar, and with the both of us being endangered, she thought that we could come together, only the only way two tribe can really come together, is through marriage of alphas. I could imagine how in luck she felt, when she found out what an anomaly their nest alpha in line was. A she-alpha.
I was only told about her, I had never met her in my life. That's why I was here to see this shifter that I would call my wife one day.
I stayed in the shadows. The full moon crept in between the crevices of the forest, so I knew I could easily be spotted. I wondered if I should have phased before I left Satordi's ranch, because I always was nervous about worst case scenario where for whatever reason, would have to phase back in human for, lose my clothes and have to walk home naked.
I began to recognize the scent. A female wolf shifter scent was never hard to find, because it was laced with a pheromone. That made her irresistible even to mortals. The males possessed the same pheromone that worked for females, which was a factor in my popularity Kenyon had the same thing but he did not have the gift of gab, which was why it was harder for him to hold anyone's attention for very long. That was a trait I was teaching him.
The fragrance danced in my nose and it lead me to a creek. She had her back to me. She was in the creek, naked. She was a tall tan woman with long raven hair. She looked good enough to be a runway model. She looked as if she was bathing. It did not take her long to pick up my scent and jerk around and look in my diection.
"Um Hi, I'm Randall."
She let out a loud scream. I tried to tell her who I was, and why I was there but I could barely hear myself over the screams. I then realized that a group of five large brutes circled me.
"Total misunderstanding!" I assured them.
"Who are you? Why have you come?"
"I am Randall Phalan. Me and my brother are supposed to join your pack in a year."
"Why were you spying on my sister, you prev?"
" I wasn't spying, I just wanted to meet her. I was curious about my future mate. No harm, no foul."
"We are very protective over our sister, afraid we can't just let you walk away so easily."
I did not know what I was going to do, but all I knew is that I was in trouble and if Kenyon had the ability to sense if I were in trouble, I was pretty sure that this would be one of those times.
