Chapter 5
“Mom I am home!” I yelled as I dropped my backpack on the kitchen counter. I saw her car in the driveway but that did not mean anything when we lived so close to family. My grandma and grandpa lived about 20 steps to the left of us and my uncle with his wife live about 35 steps to the right of us. There are 2 more houses around us that are sitting empty. My mom wants to rent them out so we can have extra income, but my dad thinks it is too dangerous with me being a werewolf. It isn’t like I will turn and try to eat them but he doesn’t get my self control. Neither of my parent’s were able to keep their wolves once the big war happened. They ended up losing them when a witch sent a curse down upon the wolves and they were hit with it head on with it. I have searched for ways to get their wolves back but nothing has surfaces yet.
“Upstairs in your room Ryder.” My mom yelled down as I was grabbing a snack. What was she doing in my room? She was never in there and when I asked why she explained her need for privacy and a safe space so she figured I needed it too. Once I got into high school I totally understood what she meant and it made me love her even more.
“On my way up.” I grabbed my backpack and headed upstairs. I heard her rustling around with m clothes. Was she in my closet? ‘Maybe she decided to help you actually have style’ Blue snickered. Fudge off blue! I shook my head and looked inside my door to see my bed had some packages on it.
“There you are. I got a call from a little birdie that you didn’t have anything to wear for your birthday party tomorrow so I went ahead and shopped for you! Wanna try it all one to make sure it fits?” she sat down the edge of the bed and grabbed a medium sized bag.
“Umm yes please,” I screeched as I dropped my backpack. “ Where do I even start?”
“This is the matching bra and panties that go under the dress. Go put these on while I get everything else out of the bags.”
“You got it.” I undressed in my bathroom and took out the underwear set. The bra and underwear were red lace. I was totally fangirling over them and how good they made my butt look.
“Hurry up girlie. I still have to make dinner.”
“Coming!” I came out and did a twirl. She smiled and gave me a thumbs up. Mom always picks out the best stuff and I am so glad we are close so her seeing me in sexy underwear isn’t weird for us. She stood up with a beautiful dress in her arms. It’s a red halter lace dress that looks like it will end at my knees. I can see myself twirling in the dress and being able to shake it without anything falling out.
“Ok let’s put this puppy on. I can’t wait to see you in it.” She slides the dress over my head and zips me up. I can’t stop looking at myself in the mirror. I can feel myself starting to cry so I threw myself in my moms arms and cried. “You really are the best. I had the worst day and was ready to call it a night.”
“Tell me what happened.” We sat down on the bed and I told her about my car and the guys. When I was done I looked at her and could see how furious she was.
“Mom I can handle it. I just needed to tell you before you saw my car.” I grabbed her hand and held onto it.
“Those boys need to be taught a lesson. I will call you dad about fixing your car for now. Lets get you out of this dress and I will start dinner while you look at the accessories. Ok?”
I could tell she just want to leave the room to vent some anger. She hated being angry or sad in front of me. I wish she would just show all her emotions because it doesn’t make her weak it makes her look real and alive. “Deal. Love you.”
She got up and headed toward the door. She stopped and looked back to say she loved me too and blew me a k**s. I put my head in my hands and cried a little bit more. I would of kept crying but my phone started going off from a text message.
Was my message clear enough?- Unknown number
Message? What message? My eyes opened wide when I realized it was Andrew.
How did you get my number? Make sure you lose it just as easily.
I opened the first box of goodies and saw black stiletto heels. I love them but will be packing my black flats as well. I put them under my hanging dress and took a picture to send to my friends. Before I cold even grab my phone it went off again.
I have my ways and I will be holding onto this number. I heard about what you did to Blake and I promise I will have revenge. No one touches my boys and gets away with it. I heard your car took a beating. How was the drive home?- Andrew
Listen I didn’t touch your boys! I kneed him in the nuts and I am hoping its hard enough that he can’t reproduce. Would you like it done to you? Next time my car gets damaged in any way Ill make sure you feel his pain. I am done being scared of you and your boys. I have a life and things to do so get lost.- Ryder
Ill see you tomorrow night. Make sure you look good for me. I have some plans in motion to make it a great night.- Andrew.
He now had me worried and I started second guessing my own party. Why can’t my party be on my 18th birthday so I could shift and rip his throat out.
