The Female Alpha, Silver [best free ereader txt] 📗

Tara was walking through the park, her converes leaving a light indent in the snow. It was getting cold. Tarr pulled her jacket closely around her small torso. She shuddered delicately as the wind blew against her rosey red cheeks. She quickened her pace to get home. She really did need to stop going on her late night walks, expecially so close to the end of vacation. She passed the swings when it came out of no where and tackled her. It hit her hard and knocked her to the ground. She struggled to get the beast off of her. Really, it looked like an over sized dog! She grabbed it by its over sized ear and tried to get the thing to budge but it reached its large paw out and swipped at her wrist, cutting through her jacket, leaving three very large bleeding cuts from its claws. She let out a cry of pain and held it against her chest carefully. With the other hand she swung at it and delivered a blow to the side of its face. It staggered back and she did waste any time. She got up and ran in the direction of her home. She reached the edge of the forest path leading home and faltered in her stride but quickly made up for it. She set out in a dead sprint down the path, but the beast persisted in following her. The slick snow beneath her boot caused her to slip and in seconds, the beast was on top of her lundging at her throat. It's claws dug into her wrists pinning her down. It was going in for the kill. She had one faint hope. She shoved her knee upwards and she heard a yelp. She tried to wrestle free, but before she could, the beast bit into her neck. She screamed in agony and kicked the beast and scrambled to her feet. She ran as quickly as she could with leg all the way home. The beast following at a slower pace than before, but still close behind her. She reached the edge of the forest and ran across the street. To her emence suprise, the creature didn't follow. He stood at the forest edge and stared back at her with expectant eyes. After a moment, he faded into the shadows. She paused a moment before limping home. What would her parents think? They would find out eventually find out. Would she tell them? No, she wouldnt. She unlocked the door and moved silently through the sleeping house. She limped up the stairs to her room. She took off her jacket, avoiding hitting her arm which was now burning badly. She stripped her shirt off and had to cut herself out of her jeans. She went into the bathroom and turned the hot water on and stepped in. She let her muscles relax and let the hot water wash away the pain and worry she felt. She cleaned her wounds and wrapped her leg in bandages after she got out. There wasnt much she could do for her wrist except put some alchohol on it. She dried her hair and managed to get boxers on over her wound but couldnt manage anything else. So she layed in bed in her bra and boxers. She attempted to cover up with her comforter and found it extreamly hard to do. She just layed there until sleep finally found its way to her. She slept for three days.

She awoke that morning earlier than ushual. She skipped to the bathroom to brush her long black hair. As she went to pick up the brush, she realized she wasnt sore. She looked in the mirror and saw that her wounds were gone, leaving only faint scars. She lifted a trembling hand and softly stroked where she had been biten last nigh. She knew it had been real. She had the jacket to prove it! She went to the hamper and pulled out the bloody, ripped jacket. She pushed it to the back of her mind and went to her closet and got mini skirt and her favorite green and black striped hoodie. She pulled it on with ease. She grabbed her vans and slipped them on. She brushed her long hair and did her make up. She grabbed her backpack and keys and went downstairs and out the door. She climbed onto her Ninja and drove to school. When she arrived, Bridget and Mandy were waiting for her on the steps. When they caught sight of her, they ran up and hugged her. She gave them a small smile and said a soft hello. They talked to her but she wasnt listening. Catching her attention from all the way across the parkinglot were a large group of guys. The tallest of the group was a guy with jet black hair and intense blue eyes. He was watching her. His intense blue eyes stared at her expectantly. She told her friends she would be right back and walked over to them. She walked up to her step brother, Daniel, and threw her arms around him. He hugged her and soflty said, "God, its been too long. How are you, Tara?" He asked. She looked at him and didnt answer. She didnt need to. He could see it in her eyes that she was hurting. He cleared his throat and looked to his friends and said, "Tara, this is Dustin, Jake, Andy, and Jared." They all nodded and said hi. She smiled and said a soft hello. Jared spoke up and said, "Daniel.." in an anxious voice. He just nodded. He pulled her aside and said, "Look, do you think you could miss a couple days of school? We wont be in town long and I want to spend some time with you." She nodded and said, "Sure, as long as I do the makeup work, I should still have strait A's." He smiled and said, "Ok, well lets get something for brekfest, then we can go back to my place." She nodded and climbed onto her bike. All of the guys piled into Jared's car except Daniel. He hesitated. She brought out her extra helmet and rolled her eyes. "Just get on already," she said and he smiled. He climbed on and she said, "Just make sure to hold on," and he wrapped his arms tight around her waist. She pulled out of the parking lot and onto the highway. She picked up the speed and they got brekfest and made it home in a matter of ten minutes.They all piled into the house and went off to do their own thing. Tara took the groceries to the kitchen and prepared to make brekfest for everyone. The only ones who bothered to watch her were Jared and Daniel. She found the biggest pan she could and made six very large omlets. When brekfest was done, she carried the plates to the table where the guys were already waiting. There was an empty space for her between Daniel and Andy. She sat down and Andy put his arm around her. He said, "Welcome to the family, Sis" She blushed and took a drink of Pepsi. "Andy, your going to scare her!" Jared said with a chuckle. Dustin smiled. "Anyone who can cook this good is a friend of mine," he said with his mouth full. She laughed and nodded her thanks. She ate her plate and chugged her drink. She waited while Daniel finished. She let out a huge burp that caused the room to go silent. Jared looked at her with wide eyes. "Did that burp just come out of tiny little Tara?" he asked Daniel, still shocked. He just laughed. "She's always did burp like a man," Jake said. She flipped him the bird and he said, "Just tell me when honey." She stuck her tounge out and they all laughed. Then everything got quiet. "We need to talk," Daniel said. She nodded and waited. And then he told her.

"Wait, so your saying that thing that attacked me was a werewolf?!" she said. They all nodded. "For some odd reason, he choose to attack you," Jared said. "Who was it? Who bit me?" she said quietly. "Our previous alpha, Warren. You met him when we were little. He was hunted down and killed the next morning," Dainel said. Dustin walked out of the room. As he left, Tara saw tears running down his face. Jared followed her gaze. "Warren and Dustin were to be mated in a few short weeks." he said, a hint of sadness in his voice. Her own eyes filled with tears. Daniel pulled her into his lap and held her while she cried. When she was done, she found Jared staring at them in wonder. She wiped her eyes and walked into the living room where she found Dustin, tears filling his eyes. She climbed onto the couch next to him and hugged him. He wrapped his arms aroound her and sobbed into her shoulder. They held each other while they cried together. When they finally stopped crying, He looked up at her and said, "Did you know him?" She nodded. He kind of smiled. "He was the best guy I have ever met. I dont know if you knew this, but we were engaged." She nodded and whispered, "They told me. Im so sorry. I understand what your going through. I lost my girlfriend, Natalie." Now he nodded, "I know. Daniel told us not to menchin her. I actually got to meet her when we were younger. Im so sorry." he said. She nodded and hugged him gently. They got up and went to the bathroom to fix their make up and make themselves presentable. They walked into the kitchen looking better. Jared looked up at them as they walked in and in his eyes she saw a new understanding. "How are you," he asked. She shrugged and said, "Im surviving." She and Dustin sat back down and she sighed and said, "What else do I need to know?" He nodded and said, " You've been bitten, so you should be dead. But sence it was an Alpha that bit
