My name is Allie and I'm the daughter of the british alpha. I lived in Las Vegas with my mother until she died in a car crash when I was 17. The state shipped me to my father. I spent every summer with my father so I was ok with going to live with him. He even paid to have my '69 dodge charger shipped there.
One of my best friends was one of my dad's wolves named Ben. My dad hated it. Ben was one of the first of the people I called when my mom died. My dad and Ben met me at the air port. When I saw Ben i took off running and leaped into his arms.
"Ben!"
"Hey Allie have you gained weight?"
"Fuck you Ben no I haven't gained weight you ass."
"What the bloody hell did you do to your beautiful hair baby?"
"I highlighted it Dad."
"You couldn't have done highlights that are actually found in nature."
"What would be the fun in that. Besides they wash out."
"Ok."
"Can we go home now please."
"Sure lets go."
I was there for 6 months when shit hit the fan. Three women had been raped and beaten. The last one died. The police questioned Ben because as they put it he had a problem with women. My dad called the marrok which is the alpha of the american alphas about sending Ben to him.
"Dad you can't send him away for something he didn't do!"
" I have no choice. They aren't going to leave him alone."
"I don't care. This isn't fair. I hate you!"
"Well life isn't fair."
I ran out the door and got in my car. I went to Ben's house because it's the only place I could think to go. By the time I got there I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe. I took a few deep breaths and knocked on the door. I flung my arms around him when he opened the door.
"Don't go please."
"I have to Allie. I can't go against the alphas orders. You know that."
"This is so stupid. I don't want you to go Ben. I love you."
"I know you don't and I love you too."
"No Ben you don't understand. I love you."
"I don't know what I'm supposed to say to that Allie."
"You don't have to say anything. I just wanted you to know before you left. I better go before Dad send the dogs."
I gave him one last hug before I left. he stood in the doorway waving until I couldn't see him anymore. When I got home I went straight to my room and slammed the door. A couple of hours later my dad came up and wanted to talk.
"Fine talk."
"I know you don't want him to go."
"No I don't"
"Why not?"
"Because I feel safer when he's around."
"No one is going to hurt you. They wouldn't dare hurt their alpha's daughter."
"Really Dad you know that for a fact. Because I'm not so sure. I think Matthew would. You don't know how he looks at me when you and Ben aren't around."
"He wouldn't do that."
" You keep thinking that Dad. Are we done here? I want to go to bed."
"Yeah I'll see you in the morning."
The next morning I came downstairs and Dad was sitting at the table eating breakfast. I sat down across form him. He looked up at me and I glared at him.
"I'm taking Ben to the airport today."
"Is he meeting you here?"
"No I'm picking him up."
"Can I go with you?"
"No"
"So it's not enough that you are taking my bestfriend but you aren't even going to let me say goodbye! What did I do to diserve this?"
"I don't think it would be a good idea for you to say goodbye in person. Do you really want to make this any harder on him then it already is?"
"No I just wanted to see him one last time."
"Why are you taking this so hard?"
"Because I love him Dad."
"You what?"
"I love him. I know what you are thinking. He's a trouble maker and no good but think about it dad. Has he ever done anyting that has put me in danger?"
"No but I still don't like it."
"Whatever you do dad don't say anything to him."
"Does he know how you feel?"
"Yes I told him yesterday and he said that he didn't know what to say to me."
"He didn't say he loved you back."
"No he didn't. What difference would it make if he did? Your making him leave."
"It doesn't make a difference."
"Ok Can I call him and say goodbye?"
"Yes you can call him."
I left the room and went back up to my room. I grabbed my phone and dialed his number. He answered on the first ring like he was waiting for me to call.
"Hey Allie"
"Hey."
"I was thinking about what you said yesterday."
"Yeah what about it. You don't have to say anything. Like I said yesterday I just wanted you to know before you left."
"I know I don't have to say anything but I want to. What you said got me to thinking and I realized that I do love you. But even if I wasn't leaving it wouldn't change the fact that you are 17."
"I know I'm 17 and you couldn't be with me cuz I'm too young. I wouldn't have told you how I felt if you weren't leaving. I'm going to miss you."
" I know I'm going to miss you too."
"I'm scared."
"Of what?"
"Matthew. I'm afraid that without you here he will try something. My dad doesn't think so but it's just the way he looks at me."
"Yeah I've seen the looks he gives you. Just make sure that you aren't alone with him."
"I will. Promise you will email."
" I will I promise. As much as I can."
"Just don't forget about me ok."
"I will never forget you. You would be one hard person to forget about."
"Ok well I'm going to let you go so you can get ready. I love you. later."
"I love you too later."
