Alpha Osiris

Chapter 4

Lily’s pov

The next day I didn’t see Noah until after lunch. Sasha, Aubree and I had lunch at the drama room that day, because I wanted to finish up the last of the set pieces. When I left the classroom I bummed into Noah. I

almost stumbled, but Noah caught me “I missed you at lunch, I was hoping we could sit together,” as he held onto my arm. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“I needed to finish something, but maybe tomorrow?” I asked shyly.

I hated that Noah made me feel so shy, I usually didn’t feel this way around people.

“It’s a date” Noah said as I started to blush. I quickly turned around and walked to my locker hoping Noah wouldn’t see my red cheeks.

I explained to Sasha and Aubree that I would have lunch without them tomorrow, but when I told them the reason why they didn’t mind. They both got really excited for me. Aubree was saving herself for her mate and refused to even think of dating. I really hadn’t given dating much thought. Not because I was saving myself like Aubree, but because there was no one interested in me before. I wasn’t sure how far I was willing to go with anyone if I ever did start to date.

I knew Sasha had been seeing Oscar for a few months now. She found the notion of saving yourself a bit outdated, although she respected Aubree for sticking to her beliefs. Sasha and Oscar seemed like the perfect pair though, it wouldn’t surprise me if they turned out to be mates.

I guess I should just see how things go, right now I hadn’t even had a date with Noah yet. Before yesterday I hadn’t looked at Noah properly, but I always noticed he was cute though. He had his brown hair shorter on the sides and he had pretty blue eyes. He wasn’t as tall as the men in my family, but that didn’t matter that much to me anyway. Besides I was the shortest of my siblings, even my 13 year old brother was taller than I was.

He was muscular like most werewolves are, but instead of him having a six-pack Noah bulked up. He was “short and stocky” according to Sasha.

The rest of the day I was distracted by the thought of Noah. It felt nice to be wanted, especially by someone who was popular. I know that made me sound a bit shallow, but after you’ve been ignored for so long it was nice to get attention. This must be how popular kids feel all the time, I thought.

I went home and did my homework, studying didn’t come naturally to me. But I knew good grades were important to my family. If I had my way I would spend all my free time painting.

I couldn’t wait for the summer break when I had all the time in the world to focus on my art. My favorite thing to paint was nature, that’s why I loved doing the set design at school. My parents let me decorate my own room and I had painted flowers and plants all over my walls.

I guess it was fate that my parents named me after a flower. When I went to dinner my parents were discussing something through their mindlink. I could tell because they were looking at each other with lots of emotions going back and forth.

Finally my father started to speak, everyone knew to be quiet when he had an announcement. “Your mother has decided it would be a good idea for Emma and Angelina to visit your sister at the Blood River pack for the summer.”

Emma seemed very excited, while Angelina started to cry. “But mom, I was going to spend the summer with my friends. I made all these plans,” Angelina said.

My mother explained “we want you to see what’s it’s like to be a Luna in a new pack. To gain some experience from your sister. The Blood River pack does things very differently from ours. Perhaps you’ll find your mate there.”

Angelina continued to cry and left the table. I would love to be in her shoes and be able to leave for the summer. I have always wanted to see the world, see new places and find new inspiration for my paintings. Perhaps I would get my chance next year, if I didn’t meet my mate as soon as I turned 18.

How funny would it be if Noah was my mate? But wouldn’t I have already sensed something? They say even before you’re of age you can already feel the bond, just very lightly. I always did this, I overthink everything and make a whole future with someone I haven’t even gone on a date yet. I should just let it go for now, shower and go to sleep.

I went up to my room and took a shower, I braided my hair so it wouldn’t need much care after I woke up. I put on my pajama’s and went to sleep. I had the strangest dream, I dreamed about Alpha Osiris. He was sitting next to me at dinner, but instead of ignoring me he actually was listening to me and laughing at my jokes. And then he wiped some food of my face in the same manner Noah did with the paint. His hands lingered and then he bend forward and kissed me softly on the lips. When I woke up I felt really strange, I didn’t even know Alpha Osiris well and what I did know I didn’t like. So why in the Goddess name would I dream about him instead of Noah?
