Turning The Tides by Bugz Rox (i love reading books .txt) 📖

never really paid attention because my mind was always wondering to Charlie.

"'Kay, I'ma go find my sister and cool her off before she decides to go murder our brother, or worse," I said turning to walk off.

"What would fall into the 'Or Worse' catagory? Both you and Pluto say it," The other girl asked, Haven I think.

"There are some things worse than death," Brandon and I answered together.

I turned to him, "You wanna help, or you too scared of her and her amazing castrating abilities?"

"I'll come, I'm the one that made her storm off," He answered as I shot a wink at Charlie and stalked into the forest. When we were out of sight within the trees we shifted, he was a beautiful black wolf while I was more of a redish brown.

So Charlie's actually your mate? He asked through the chat we were opperating on.

Yeah, and she's the only one I haven't been able to swoon. She'd be a kick-ass werewolf though, huh?

Hell yeah! She's got the temper already, she just needs to be able to shift.

Yeah, I love her so much but she hates me just as much!

 She'll get over it, Brandon told me confidently.

I don't know if she will, I've been an ass to her, I told him less confidently as we followed Pluto's scent west.

What's up with your sister's name? Yours is normalish and so is William's, I'd bet your younger brothers' names are normal, too, He asked me.

Our parents weren't supposed to have a girl, they wanted an extravagant name for their probably only daughter. Just like girls aren't supposed to be werewolves, let alone Alphas, she's they only one of her kind. I replied, just as a big white furball exploded from the forest, tackling Brandon to the ground.

Chapter 6

 Pluto

Those asses were following me! I could hear them on the chat, I stayed silently listening as I circled around to follow them.

So Charlie's actually your mate? Brandon asked through the chat.

Yeah, and she's the only one I haven't been able to swoon. She'd be a kick-ass werewolf though, huh? Liam asked him.

Hell yeah! She's got the temper already, she just needs to be able to shift.

Yeah, I love her so much but she hates me just as much!

 She'll get over it, Brandon told him confidence evident in his voice, apparently he wasn't turned down often.

I don't know if she will, I've been an ass to her, Liam told him less confidently than I know for my brother, he was really torn up over this.

What's up with your sister's name? Yours is normalish and so is William's, I'd bet your younger brothers' names are normal, too, Brandon asked my brother, I gotta hear this.

Our parents weren't supposed to have a girl, they wanted an extravagant name for their probably only daughter. Just like girls aren't supposed to be werewolves, let alone Alphas, she's the only one of her kind. Liam replied, made sense. I chose this moment to jump out and tackle Brandon. I bit his scruff to make him submit.

Why are you following me? I snarled to them, making them cower at the power of an Alpha in my voice but I was too angry to care.

W-we came to find you, to cool you off, that way your friends don't feel stood up, okay, hearing my brother stutter in fear sobered me and made me ashamed. Whereas, I could see that prick Brandon staring at me from the corner of my eye. He wasn't even hiding it.

I'm sorry, Bubba. I was angry, but not at you. It's hard to be mad at you, I thought to him trying to calm his fears of the big bad wolf, you not a piggy, I won't eat you 'kay?

Okay, He said undoubtfully, I rubbed up against him and stuck my nose in his flank to show him I meant no harm.

 Whatcha starin' at asshole? I asked Brandon who was still staring at me, I didn't spare him a glance. He didn't answer. I turned back to Liam, I'ma go get another pair of clothes, then go back to school. Do you need another pair or no?

No, my clothes are with Brandon's by a tree at the school, this is why we only wear the neccessities, less to deal with. See ya. He thought to me and turned around and nuzzled Brandon's flank, breaking his unrelenting stare. I ran back to our house, wondering about his stares the whole way.

He was probably wondering about your junk, my wolf told me.

'Kay, Thanks for telling me. You don't annoy me that much, I wish I could talk to you more, I replied.

Nu-uh, girlie talks are not for me, and with that he left. All the wolves for werewolves are male, though I'm the only female werewolf. I sprinted up the stairs, thanking the goddess the entire way that my parents had to work during the day so when I came home naked there were no questions asked.

I got dressed in new clothes and ran to school, coming in with a tardy note at the end of first hour. I sat down in my seat next to Conner, who slipped me a note, "Where'd you go?"

"I ran in the woods for a while, ruined my clothes so I went home and changed." I wrote back.

"Ruined your clothes how?" He asked.

"Trees can snag on and rip them, perv. It's always you asking about my clothes." I answered.

"Nope, I ask about clothes because I'm gay." He wrote simply.

"WHAT!?!" I wrote, "You're gay? Do Haven, Charlie, and Jenna know?" I wrote hurridly.

"Nope."

"Are you gonna tell them?"

"As it happens since I told you, I'm gonna tell them at lunch. Don't spill, k?"

"K."

 

I was bouncing off the walls for the next three classes, always being asked about what happened. Finally lunch came, we went sit under our normal tree, just inside the tree line. Only today, Brandon was sitting there, waiting for us. I ignored him and sat down, not even all the way to the ground when I practically yelled, "Okay, spill!"

"Okay, miss hurry, what're you talking about?" Jenna asked as she sat down.

I was practically shaking Conner as I chanted, "Spill! Spill! Spill!"

He laughed as he said, "Aren't you going to introduce your stalker? I'm pretty sure you know him better than us."

"Nope, spill."

"Hi, I'm Conner and you are?" Conner asked Brandon, laughing as I groaned and started climbing the tree.

"I'm Brandon," my personal werewolf stalker replied.

"This is Charlie, Haven, and Jenna," He said pointing to them as he said their names.

"Hi."

"Hey."

What's up?"

"Hi, hey and what's up, back," Brandon said, completely at ease.

I popped my head out of the heavy foliage, startling them all, "Okay introductions made, spill."

Conner rolled his eyes at my upside down head visible, shrugged, and said, "I'm gay."

"What?"

"No way!"

"You didn't tell us!?!" His friends were all shocked at his exclamation.

"Cool," Maybe not all, stupid, cute Brandon. Wait what!?! did I just think of him as cute? There's something wrong with me.

"Why'd he tell you?" Charlie asked me as I swung down and dropped the extra four feet, nimbly landing on my feet.

"I called him a perv in math because he's always asking about clothes, but now that I think of it he hasn't had a girlfriend all year," I said shrugging as I started eating my lunch.

"He hasn't had a girlfriend since seventh grade," Jenna said at the same time that Charlie asked, "You haven't had a boyfriend all year, are you a lesbian?" I saw Brandon's ears perk up, he was listening? I didn't know why so I settled for throwing a grape at Charlie.

"No, I'm just not excepted easily, as you showed the first day I came here. And now, you're my best buddy and the girl that my brother's got a major crush on."

"I'm not going to be your brother's toy until he gets bored when he figures out I won't have sex with him, I'm a player, yes, but a slut? No." She said it with such finality that my heart was breaking for my brother.

"He's not like that, he's a player too, but not a slut, like you. You're the one girl in the world that he won't play, so please give him a chance, Charlie." I said, surprised at her outburst.

"How do you know he's not a slut?" She challenged.

"Um, hello? Have you seen how close the five of us kids are? And how good our hearing is? I would know if my brother was sleeping around. Please? Humor him for one night, that's all I'm asking. Just one night." She didn't answer me. I persisted, "Please?"

"Fine! One night!"

Chapter 7

My heart soared with joy for my brother, he was getting a night with his mate! He had a chance of winning her over now! Before, Charlie wouldn't even look at him. Now he's got an entire night to show her how much he actually loves her! I almost jumped up and down wih joy, hugging Charlie. My excitement couldn't be doused for my next two hours.

In seventh hour I sat, barely able to keep still as I planned how to tell Liam that he was getting a date with his mate. The chair next to me slid out, signalling that the werewolf that sat next me was here. I had learned that his name is Jason. Instead of his usual, "Mutt," an all-too familiar voice said, "Hey." Uuuugghh. I didn't even know that Brandon was in this class! I hate French right now.

"Je te déteste maintenant, en aille," I mumbled; I hate you right now, go away. I have no idea why I added 'right now' to it. I knew he would understand it, it was French class after all.

"Eh bien, je ne pars pas," Well I'm not leaving. Damn. It was going to be a long class. When the final bell rang, I was ready to strangle Brandon, but that feeling dissapated when I saw Liam's figure.

 I bounded over, all thoughts of strangulation forgotten as I slung my arm over my brother's shoulders. "Hey, bro. You ain't gonna guess what!"

"Can I walk with you guys for a while?" AH, and I thought that my stalker would leave. Brandon followed us as I merily chatted away, biding my time.

"Just shut it, Pluto! I'm not in the mood! My mate absolutely hates me. I've given up on that. Right now the littles will want me to be happy and I can't do that. I need time alone," Liam screamed taking off towards the woods. I took him down in a flying tackle before he'd even gotten
