Chapter 18: Cousin

*Aaron's POV*

I pulled my hood more over my head as I stood behind a tree in front of my old school. The school day was over, and students were leaving the school. I was looking for (Y/N), my baby cousin. But I didn't see her walk out of the school. I looked around before sliding down the trunk of the tree.

I was waiting for around 30 minutes before a group of werewolves went running by.

"Man! The Alpha has such great ideas!"

"I love ultimate frisbee!"

"The Alpha is so kind to us!"

"No one could ever be better!"

I chuckled as they ran past me; they were too excited to notice.

'Just what I wanted to hear.' I smiled to myself, 'I knew she had what it took.'

Then I heard more footsteps, and this time I picked up on (Y/N)'s scent. I jumped up and hid on the other side of the tree so she couldn't see me.

'I know she's capable of taking care of herself... And I trust her judgment more then anyone's because if her gift. But...' I shook the thought from my head, 'No, it wasn't my fault. It was an accident, and she doesn't even remember... If she did, she'd hate me.'

"Gah! Stop thinking like that, Aaron!" I slapped my face.

"Did you hear that?" A familiar voice asked.

I froze at the sound of (Y/N)'s voice, pressing my back again the bark of the tress as much as I could.

"I didn't hear anything." An unfamiliar voice replied.

"Oh, alright." I heard (Y/N) sigh as I heard her footsteps in the gravel, followed by another pair of footsteps.

I waited a while before I peeked out from behind the tree. I saw (Y/N) walking and talking to a werewolf guy, dark hair, and blue ears and tail. He had piercings in his left ear. He was taller than her, so he had to look down, he was smiling as she talked, but I couldn't get a good look at his face.

"Who's that?" I asked myself, "Did she already pick an Alpha Male?"

'Well, she wouldn't talk to him if he was a jerk. Judging by how close they are to each other, they have to be friends. But there is something off about him.' I watched them disappear around a corner, but I swore right as they did, that werewolf looked me right in the eye.

I brushed it off, "Well, it looks like she's doing fine. Still, I'll text her about the Alpha Male just in case."

I sat back down on the grass under the tree and pulled out my phone and (Y/N)'s number.

(((I decided to change the way of texting. I might play with it more throughout the story)))

Hey! How's my baby cous?

I figured she wouldn't reply right away, so I passed the time by texting Aph.

'Maybe I should pay her a visit since I'm already in town.'

Hey Aph, how
was school?

Hey Aaron! School
was iffy today...
But how was college?

Classes don't start for
another week.
I told you this

ya dumb potato ❤

(((The heart is supposed to be red if it isn't red for you)))

I am not a dumb potato!!
I just forgot!

Haha, I'm messing with ya
But, anyway... I'm in town
at the moment and
was wondering...
Wanna hang out?

You know my mom
would kill us

Right!
I forgot about her...

Well, I have homework
I have to do, talk to you

later Aaron! 💜

Talk to ya later Aph

I didn't realize it, but I was smiling at my phone. Then I got a text from (Y/N).

Aaron!! I forgot I had
your number!
I've been great!

Good to hear!
I just wanted to ask
how the the werewolves
have been

They've been great!
Once I started interacting
with them everything's
been fine. Although...
I have a lot of pressure
to pick an Alpha Male :(

You haven't picked one yet?

No... It's so hard! How am
I suppose to choose a
guy to date with this
much pressure??

Wha?? Date?! Who said
anything about dating?!

Dottie has asked a couple
times if I was going to date
the Alpha Male, and Ein
told me the wolves prefer
to have their Alpha's together

Well, they're wrong.
You don't have to date him.
Well, you could if you
wanted too but not
because you have too

Oh sweet mercy of
Irene herself!!
That takes SO much
weight off me!

But, who's Ein?

Oh! He's a friend of mine,
he's also the Omega.

Oh... I'm glad your being
nice to the Omega.
Is he nice to you?

Yeah! He walks with me
after school and we talk
every now and then
on the phone

'So the werewolf walking with her, that was Ein? The Omega? He doesn't look like an Omega...'

Oh, well that's good to hear.
I'll support you with whatever decision you make!
For friends and the
Alpha Male! I know out
of everyone
in that school, no.
The whole world!
You're the best person
to pick an Alpha.

Aww, thanks Aaron!
You're the best cous
anyone could ever have!
You're like a brother to me! <3

Heh... Thanks (Y/N/N).
Anyway, do you have
anyone in mind for Alpha?

I was expecting her to say Ein, so when I read this I started choking on my own spit.

I do! My first pick
would be Blaze!

Blaze? He is a great guy!
But I was thinking you'd
say Ein with how close
you are to him

I am close to Ein,
and I think the wolves
would like him as the Alpha...
But there's something about
him I'm unsure about.

Well, I'll trust whatever
your  decision is.
Blaze or Ein, which
ever you pick will
be the right one!

Thank you Aaron for
the confidence boost!
I really needed it!

Anytime (Y/N/N)!

You should come to town!
Class for you haven't
started yet right?

Yeah! I'm surprised
you remembered

Of course I do!
I can't forget how jealous
I was to hear you didn't
have to go to school while I did!

Hahaha! That makes
sense now, but I'll
think about it

Great! Just let me know
if you aren't because
I'll be expecting you~
And you wouldn't want
to disappoint your favorite
cousin would you??

Dang it!
I should've seen that coming!
I'll see what I can do

Yay! See ya soon!~

I chuckled and put my phone in my pocket. I looked up at the sky as the sun was setting, the sunlight was shining through the green leaves. A few of them had yellow tips, a sign that summer is ending and fall is coming. I stood up and looked at the school, remembering all the memories I made here with (Y/N) and Aphmau. I smiled slight as I turned and started walking away.

"I'm here for you cous, whenever you need me." I said aloud.

I know she couldn't hear me, but I also know that she know. I made her life harder... The least I can do is try to make it better.
