A Complicated Relationship: Ch. 10

"Angie, table five needs there order taken" beth one of the senior workers told me. I nodded and headed over to the table. And just like always it was one of my regulars Mr. Randel. "good evening Mr. Randel, how are you today?" I asked him. He looked up from the menu to peer at me. Like always he had his gray hair combed back neatly, even thought he was about sevendy he still had a full head of hair. Smiling he responded "good good, what about you darlin'?" He was always calling me that. Plus he was originaly from texas so he had had a twang when he spoke. "I'm fine sir, so what you'll have? The usual?" He nodded. "you know me so well darlin'." I laughed "maybe its because you order the same thing everytime you're in here" he chuckled "could be" he said handing me the menu. I wrote down his order on my notepad "alright I'll get you your food" I said starting to walk away but he stopped me. "oh I almost forgot to ask you, hows your ma doin'?" This caught me of gaurd "she's still the same" I told him. "Have you spoke with your grandma yet? I bet she's dyin' to talk to you" he said. I forgot Mr. randel is good friends with my grandmother. "Is she?" I asked. He nodded "I was over there the other day, claire was talkin' non stop about you'"

I small smile came on my face. I missed her so much "when I get off work I'll give her a call then" I told him. "good cause she's worried about you and that twin of yours, andrew" his features were soft and affectionate. "thank you for telling me, mark I appreciate it." He waved away my graditude. "no darlin' I'm just helpin' out some good friends of mine." He said. I chuckled "well I'm going to go and get your food okay" I said and went to give the cook the order. Mr. Randel did remind me to call my grams. It has been a few months since we've seen or talk. Grams was constantly by mine and andrew side, checking up on us. She even offered for us to stay with her. But I was to consumed with grief to leave the house. It took half a year for me to leave the house. But grams really helped andrew and I cope a little better.

"ORDER UP!" George said from behind the kitchen counter. I headed over to him "table 5" he said. "thank you" I took the plate to Mr. Randel.

It felt like forever till my shift was over. It was almost eight thirty when I finally left the restaurants. The street lights were begining to turn on, and a light breeze was picking up. These were the nights I wish I had brought my coat. My house wasn't very far from the cafe so I began to walk. I was use to walking home from work. Andrew never wanted me to walk from work but I didn't want to bug him, especially if he was at work also. He would of told me either to get a ride from on of the employees or wait for him but I didn't want to bother them. Plus I hate waiting, I'm kind of impatient so waiting for my brother was annoying to me. Even at school but I had to, we lived to far.

I was turning the corner on my block when I got a weird feeling. I stopped to look behind me but saw nothing. I shrugged off my unease and continued to walk, just a little faster. I was probably being paranoid, I thought. The breeze was turning into a steady wind. I was begining to shiver from the cold. periodically I would look around me to see if I wasn't being followed. Man, I need to relax but something deep inside told me to be cautious. I quickened my stride practically jogging down the street. When I noticed I was on my street I let out a sigh of relief. Finally! I rushed to my house, I was andrews car was in the driveway. when I reached the front door I quickly took my keys out of my pocket. But before I could put them in the key hole a hand came out from behind me clamping down over my mouth smothering my scream.

"shhh" someone whispered in my ear. Causing my breath to catch "now are you going to be a good little girl and cooperate or are we going to do this the hard way?" The voice in my ear sounded like a man. I started to struggle "SCREW YOU!! LET ME GO!!!" I screamed. Whatever he planned to do I wasn't going to let him do it without a fight. I heard him sigh "very well" he said and my body went numb. What the hell? I tried to hit him in the stomach with my elbow but failed miserably. My heart dropped, I couldn't move. I tried to yell for andrew but my mouth wouldn't form a word. The mans laughter turned my blood cold "planning to yell for your brother are we? Well good luck with that" his voice sent waves of terror down my spine. How does he know I have a brother. Did he hurt andrew? My breathing was ragged from my struggle but mostly from the fear. How did he paralyze me? How did he even do it? Thats impossible right? While my frantic mind was trying to answer all these questions I felt my feet lift off the ground. No! Where does he plan on taking me? He flung me over his shoulder with ease. ANDREW, ANDREW, SOMEONE HELP ME!!! There was no use they couldn't hear. I felt tears start to burn my eyes, I was helpless against him. "well I cant keep this charade up for forever" he said. What is he talking about? My question was answered when a sharp pain stung the back of my head, then everything went dark.

Eli's Pov:

Seth and I made are way to calona cliffs in were form to meet up with the five pack members. Seth has been very quiet which isn't like him. He has kept his distance from me ever since I went all creepy wolf on him. I tried to apologize several times bit just like last time it wouldn't come out. This damn wolf was to strong. Was a weres wolf suppose to be this hard to control because I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else. Seth would occasionally peer over at me with uncertian eyes. I let out a loud sigh "seth" I said through the wolf bond. I felt him tense "yes?" he responded rather nervously. Great he was scared of me. "seth... I don't know what came over me back there. I swear I didn't mean to order you like that." I explained. He gave me an apprehensive look. "what did happen back there? I mean you were fine then all of a sudden this strong, intimidating force just start to radiateing off you. Eli you scared the shit out of me. I thought you didn't want to be alpha."

"I don't" I said. I heard him humph "well thats not what I got from you. Your aura was so strong it surpassed even fathers. Honestly, I feel it now." He said. This caught my attention. I'm not even having problems with him but he's still able to manipulate my alpha genes without my knowledge. "If you plan on telling tyler and the others not to follow you your gunna have hard time with that." He says.

"It's my wolf" I blurted out causing seth to look at me confused. "what?" He asked. I sighed deeply. "my wolf, he's stong and I'm having trouble...keeping him under contol" I confessed. Seth frowned "your wolf?" I.nodded. "he takes over my body when he feels disrespected or challanged. I try my best to keep him at bay but there are those times he takes over completely, even for a split second just like he did with you."

He was silent for a while, I didn't excpet an answer from him or anything. What would he know about what I was doing through. This was my own personal battle with myself, I should say. We arrived at the bottom of the cliff. Seth and I spotted everyone sitting by the river. I saw tyler, since he had black hair his fur was also black. The rest were surrounding him. Kay who had dark brown fur, Jamie who had reddish brown fur, Christion was the only blond besides seth and Eric also had brown fur like me but mine was much lighter than his. When they noticed us everyone became stiff and sat in a line. Seth took his place next to kay. Great, now I feel like my father. There was an awkward silence between us "guys relax" I said trying to break the ice. No one moved, they kept there eyes to the ground.

"we are sir" tyler said. Sir? I laughed to myself I felt like my father. "guys I'm still eli. Not sir, not alpha just eli." I said. This caused them to give me confused looks. "what do you mean? You are alpha, you found your mate" christion said. "yeah chris I know" this was going to be difficult. "eli?" I heard tyler asks. "yeah"

"why did you tell us not to tell anyone that you were alpha? Does your dad know?" He asked. I shook my head "No" I heard them all gasp and a choir of 'whats'. "I don't want him to know either" I told them. They all had bewildered expressions. "why?" Jamie asked. "I just don't" I said firmly. He briskly nodded "yes sir"

I closed my eyes, might as well get this over with. Taking a deep breath, and looked at each and everyone of them. "I asked all of you to meet me here to tell you not to treat me like your alpha. I want all of you to follow my father. He's still in the alpha's position and is your superior" once those words left my lips all hell broke lose.

Everyone started talking all at once. Different quetions were flying around. Like 'What do you mean not follow you?' Or 'thats impossible how are we suppose to follow someone whos not alpha?' Seth was the only one sitting there quietly. Tyler walked over to me, he wouldn't look me in the eye though "Its practically impossible for a pack member not to follow there alpha, eli. If you aren't there to keep the peace and order over us, are whole pack will go to hell. We need our alpha" he said a bit timidly. But his words were starting to sinking in. He was right every alpha was like a peace keeper amongst there pack. If they didn't have an alpha, another pack's alpha would try to take over and ruin and terrorize the clan. Also steal the land if it was to there liking. But no one knows about me yet so my dad still has his authority. Right? I couldn't think with everyone arguing with eachother. I was starting to lose my hold on him. But it was to loud.

"silence" my voice rang out through the trees.

I watched tyler back up in suprise. Everyone stopped in mid sentance staring at me with wide eyes. They all wore frightened expressions. I did it again I sighed deeply "Alright, I know what you guys are freaked out about but..." My voice trailed. I had an overwhelming feel of terror take over my body. Panic and fear. What?...ANGIE!!! My mate was in trouble. Seth came over to me "Eli? Whats wrong?" He asked. His face was etched with concern. Whats happening to her? Without a word I quickly turned around and ran as fast as I can to her aid. She better not be hurt, if I see even one scratch on her I'm going to kill the unlucky bastered who choose my mate to mess with. I barley noticed that eveyone was on my tail. They were having a little trouble keeping up with me thought. Except seth he was right behind me "ELI WHATS GOING ON! WHY ARE WE RUNNING?!" He asked. "my mate" was all I said.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

OH NO!!! Whats going to happen?

WILL ELI MAKE IT IN TIME TO SAVE HER OR WILL IT BE TO LATE?
