Alex's POV
I sighed and stared out the window as I cleaned the dishes. I looked up at the clock, it read ten'o clock PM. I was beginning to get worried, Mason never stayed out this late, It was nearly impossible for him to considering the fact he phased every night. I finished the dishes and went to sit on the couch. I heard a knock on the door and I rushed to open it. Mason was standing there, He look tired and slightly scared. He rushed inside, and looked out the window.
"Mason, What's Wrong?" I asked him, getting worried.
He looked straight at me. "Alex, we need to get out of here," He looked out the window again, worried.
I looked at Mason and something hit me, it was 10 o'clock and Mason wasn't a werewolf. I gasped, "Mason, I'm not going anywhere till you tell me what's going on! Why aren't you a werewolf?" I demanded.
He shot me a desperate look, "Alex, There's a time and place for an attitude and now is not the time for one. Please Brown Eyes, Just trust me, I'll explain everything later." he pleaded. "Just go and pack, grab the first things your hands touch and everything you would need for her," he said, gesturing to my stomach, "We could be gone awhile."
I rushed into our room; I pulled out handfuls of random clothes and shoved them into my bag. I then ran into the tiny little room across the hall, I pulled out anything I could need and rushed back into the kitchen. Mason was standing there, still looking out the window, the same worried expression on his face.
"Mason, I'm ready… Can you explain what's going on now? Please?" I asked him, staring up at him with my large brown eyes.
He looked away, not wanting to look into my eyes, for he knew he would crack if he did. "Alex, I'll tell you when were out of here. Come on, into the car." He said, grabbing my arm and pulling me into the car. We drove in silence, I had no clue where we were going and that worried me.
We finally pulled up to a hotel, Mason looked over at me, "We can rest here tonight, love." He said, pulling me into a hug.
I looked up at him, glaring. "I'm not getting out of this car until you explain to me what the heck is going on!" I practically shouted at him.
Mason took a deep breath and locked the doors of the car. "Alex, do you remember the promise I made you when you told me you were pregnant? I promised you that I would make sure you both would have something to eat every night, that you wouldn't have to worry. Well I had heard from a friend about this lab, that was looking for werewolves. I applied without a second thought. It turns out they were trying to figure out a way to stop werewolves from phasing altogether. They haven't been able to stop us from phasing altogether, most of the time it's just delayed, but today at lunch, I was talking to my friend Albert. He asked me why, I, such a young boy was working here of all places. I told him that you were pregnant, that this job payed well and we needed the money. A supervisor overheard and pulled me into the head of the operations office. He wanted to take our daughter, once she was born, he wanted to take her and run tests inject her with harmful drugs. I refused of course and left, but I knew we wouldn't be safe at home anymore, so I decided we needed to leave, because they won't stop till they find us…Her."
I was shocked, terrified, worried, and a little angry. Mason hugged me, "Don't worry, I won't yet let them find you, or her." He promised, he sighed and got out of the car and opened my door. I got out and walked with him inside. The person at the desk seemed bored; she looked at us with blank eyes.
"Name." she said, blankly.
I shot Mason a look not wanting him to give our actual names. Mason was one step ahead of me. "Mr. and Mrs. Xander Jones." He said.
The lady handed him a plastic key, "Room 306." She said, pointing us down a hall.
We nodded and went to find our room. We opened the door and were hit by the strong smell of lavender. I wrinkled my nose, and Mason laughed.
"You look like you smell something foul Brown Eye's." he said, sitting on the bed.
I silenced him with a glare, "Don't you try and charm your way out of this, you're in big trouble Mason Grayback." I said.
He looked at me, frowning, "Alex, I'm so very sorry. I only did it so that we could provide for her." He told me, sending me a crooked smile.
I faulted and went to sit on his lap, "I forgive you, I know you meant well." I said, hugging him tightly. "How long are we going to have to stay here?" I asked him.
He shrugged his shoulders, " I don't know, until they forget about us, I guess and that-." He was going to say something but was interrupted by the sudden burst of music coming from my phone.
let's light up the world tonight
you gotta give up the bark and bite
i know that we got the love alright
come on and li-li-light it up, light it up tonight.
"Don't worry," I told Mason, "It's just Harper." I told him and picked up the phone.
"Alex, what's going on? I came to your house and there were police everywhere. I went up and asked what's going on, they said they were looking for Mason. They said he had stolen money from their office. Alex, Where are you what's going on?" she blurted.
"Harper, Harper calm down!" I told her and then I told her exactly what Mason had told me. She lets out a sigh of relief when I was finished.
"Oh thank god!" she said, "Alright, Keep me posted on everything, I have to go meet Zeke." And then she hung up.
I turned back to Mason, "Don't worry, that was just Harp-" and once again I was interrupted by my phone.
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
Everybody look at me 'cause I'm sailing on a boat (sailing on a boat)
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
I'm on a boat
I looked at Mason and rolled my eyes, "Max." I told him and picked up the phone, I didn't even wait for him to say hello. I went right into my story. When I was finished I waited for his reaction.
"Well, Alex, I'm glad you're okay… I'm sorry; I was just calling to make sure everything was alright. I've got to go, it's my turn to wash the dishes, and I'm not exactly supposed to be talking to you…" He said, trailing off.
I rolled my eyes, "Then go clean the dishes, I don't want you to get in trouble." and I hung up the phone.
Mason began to talk but I held up my finger, knowing that there was still one more person to call, and sure enough moments later my phone went off for what I hope was the last time,
Mental wounds still screaming
driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I hit ignore and turned back to Mason, smiling.
Mason looked concerned, "Alex, Why did you hit ignore, it might have been someone in your family who was worried!" he exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes, "It was just Justin and if he is truly worried he can ask Harper or Max."
Mason looked confused, "How do you know it was him?" he asked.
"Well one, I have a different ringtone for everyone in my phone and two, caller ID." I told him, laughing.
Mason smiled, "What's my ringtone then?" he asked.
"Cannibal" I said blushing.
He laughed and looked at the clock. "Goodness, Alex, We should be getting to bed. You can sleep on that bed if you want too," he said, gesturing to the other bed.
I frowned and looked at him, "I don't want to sleep on the other bed, I want to sleep on this bed, with you."
He smiled, "That's fine with me. Good-night Brown eyes." And he flipped off the light.
