Chapter 10 – Homesickness

Riley's P.O.V.

' Sitting in this back porch overlooking this unfamiliar land make's me yearn for home again, For family, For Cat, ' at that last thought a swift sadness plagued my being

" Riley stop it, there isn't any time for these feelings!" came a sudden voice in my head, from a person I would rather not deal with at the moment.

" Sky, I can feel however I want to!" I reply back pissed off at him for how he's been trying to get Sophia's attention and the fact that it has drawn needless attention to us.

'Honestly who would be attracted to someone, they have just met who shows such blatant interest in them? Really, Sophia just met Sky and already he's behaved as if he's some crazed stalker type of guy. I just hope that he hasn't scared her away, we need her.' I think to myself

" Not when you are broadcasting your feelings, what a total a cub move man." Was Sky's reply.

' Have I been broadcasting, damn I wonder if I've let any important thoughts out? Hopefully, not. I don't want to deal with Sky knowing anything I'm thinking.' I pray to The Mother and Father that I haven't

" Where are you Sky? I need to speak with you, and I'd prefer to do it face to face." I said

" I'm in town, I'll be there in five." Came his reply

' With him gone from my mind, I'm again left with the homesickness. How I wish I could speak with Cat but we were forbidden from using the phone to call home unless it is a matter of great importance. How, I miss the trees and streams of Cat Creek, not to mention the snow. It's been my home since I was born, how could I not miss its familiarity.' I try to shake these thoughts away and am unsuccessful for the most part

' What kind of prince, gets homesickness?' I think to myself

I begin to get impatient waiting for Sky to show up, it's already been five minutes.

' What's taking him so long? I'll give him 10 more minutes to get here otherwise I'm going to go after him.' I think to myself

Three minutes later seen, Sky arriving at the house. I watch him as he moves closer to me and noticed the tense quick strides he was taking, he seems pissed off about something.

" What happened in town, to get you in such a bad mood?" I asked him

He looks up at me smirks then looks pissed off again

" I had a run in with Luke, he wasn't very pleased with my interest in the ch..Sophia." he says almost slipping and saying the chosen one

" Damn it, that's what I was going to talk to you about. You came on way too strongly, to her. Now, you've drawn attention to yourself, from the teen alpha himself, way to go Sky" I tell him in an angry but hushed tone.

'One could never be too careful with what one says around these woods' I think to myself

Sky just gives me an annoyed look, and his eyes flashed blue at me. I let a growl out, at that ' was he trying to challenge me?' I thought

" Of course my prince," he says using my title to show himself beneath me in the hierarchy of our pride," as he takes in my hostile stance and adds in " forgive my anger my prince, I am merely frustrated with the mongrel."

" What exactly did the he tell you?" I asked him relaxing a little " Tell me everything."

" Well I was just leaving a burger joint, after our conversation and I turned a corner and there he was. I turn to move around him but he grabbed my arm and slammed me against the building. Man he's so lucky I have such restraint. Anyway, he gets into my face and tells me to stay away from Sophia that she was his. He also said to heed this warning because, it would help me survive in this town and that that was the only warning I would get. This makes things so much harder as well as so much more interesting." Sky said with a playful twinkle in his eye

" Damn, your right this does make it that much harder. You really need to work on your approach, use some of that charm that I know you have. Try a more subtle approach to her and pray that you haven't ruined any kind of chance with her. Try to stay away from the Luke and under his radar, although if you run into him, try to have some fun." I said giving him a conspiratorial grin

" Sure thing, Riley." He says slipping back into his casual tone now that things weren't serious anymore

"I'm going to need to consult with my mother, about this new piece of news." I said walking into the house and grabbing my cell phone.
