I walked silently through the city, drifting with the crowds, soaked to the bone with freezing rain. My bare arms seemed pale in the artificial lights of the different stores. My plain black spaghetti-strap shirt and jeans clung to me in the most annoying ways. I ignored the stares of passersby at my appearance, I was used to it by now. I suddenly felt the disturbing presence of staring eyes. Lovely, just lovely. My only thought. I was hungry, and if these assholes think they could catch me off guard, they were wrong. Dead wrong. My lips twitched into my infamous maniacal smirk. Just let them try go through with their thoughts, cause they're gonna be sorry.
I swiftly crossed the street, still ignoring the stares. I heard an incessant beeping noise, and growled in frustration. I looked at the phones miniature screen to see Aiden's name flash back at me.

It's hard keeping the pack together without you here. Not to mention boring." I laughed. "Awwwwwwww! So you do miss me! How incredibly sweet!" I could almost hear his eyes roll. "Yes I do miss your klutzy ass, so get back here now!" he sounded desperate now. "Please come home. We need you here. We need you to come home Alpha." I could hear the plea in his words. I knew I shouldn't have stayed away for so long, but duty calls. "I'll be home in a few days. Don't worry." Aiden breathed a sigh of relief. "Well that's good to know Jaye, cause there's actually some…ummmmmm…trouble out here…
