Mine - The Alpha's Possession

CHAPTER 3

I was kept in the hospital for a while until they got me the right pain killers and plastered my arm properly before I left the hospital and then I headed downtown and it was too late to even attempt going to school today so I went to the diner and started work early.

It was only 1pm which meant an extra 3 hours of work coming my way and that meant more tips since it was the lunch rush at the moment. And the whole time I had the prospect of having the thought of possibly going home on my mind. But I wasn't going to say anything to anyone until I knew for sure. I hadn't been told anything directly. Only a conversation that my mother had with the Alpha. That was hardly conclusive. So, I decided that I would call her tonight when I finished work. I knew that she would still be awake and I would skip training.

And when my shift was over at closing time, I walked towards the gym but I stopped outside and I sat on a chair out there and I pulled out a smoke and lit it while I called my mother.

" Hello." She answered quickly.

" Mom." I say.

" Taylor. I'm so happy to hear from you." She says beaming. I could hear the excitement in her voice just from me calling her. Even though we do talk every week.

" It's good to talk to you too." I say.

" Well, this is weird. You don't usually call during the week. It's only weekends." She says.

" Yeah, usually. Except I was talking to Alpha Richmond today. He said something about you calling him today." I say. And there was a bit of a pause before she started talking again. Like she was trying to figure out what to say to me.

" Yeah. I'm sorry about having to do all of this." She says.

" Does the new Alpha think that I have something to do with Lucas?" I asked.

" He's asking questions. And I think he thinks you left a lot later than you did." She says. And I shook my head and rolled my eyes. If he did his research at all about me then he would know that I left a lot earlier. All he had to do was check the school records. That would have told him.

" A lot of people will vouch for me. They'll all say that I've been gone a lot longer than that." I defended myself.

" I know. That's what I told him and Alpha Richmond said that he would call Alpha Jackson and tell him the same thing." She says.

Thank you."
