Episode 9

I came home and Keith was busy searching for me,  the entire house was crowded and I'm guessing the entire pack was on the verge of going out to look for me.

"Keith!"

I walked in with Stan at my side.

He rushed in and pulled me in a tight hug, Mrs. Mathilda comes as well, they were both worried about me.

Keith was like, where did you go to when I asked you to stay locked inside your room.

I explained what happened and the rest Stan told, unfortunately, Ian was so headstrong and he ended up being killed 

Keith takes a quiet mood, he stared at me and finally thanked Stan for his help, he gets up to leave and I rode outside with him to his car.

"Thank you for everything,"

I said.

"Sure! You can as well pay me back,"

He responded, playing with his hands.

I giggled, "what do you want,"

I asked.

He pulls out a coupon and handed it to me.

"How about a coffee and this place tomorrow morning," 

He informed me was indeed too soon to be going on a coffee date with him, however, I thought to myself, why not.

After all, he saved me when Keith was nowhere found.

Stan gets into his car and drove off.

I turned and walked back into the house.

Keith was caught paying attention to us through the window like he was listening to our conversation and it's quite strange.

"Keith! Are you okay?"

I asked him, he nods and immediately fled to his bedroom, I went to mine and rested with my whole body laying on the bed.

It was indeed a long night, I can't believe I was on the verge of getting murdered by Keith's Uncle, he doesn't look old, however, wolves than to look younger than their age, I think so.

"Samantha?".

Keith walks in afterward.

He brings with him a glass of warm milk.

"Take this, it will help you, with the stress of last night?".

He placed it on the side table in front of me, I picked it up and gulped everything down my throat.

"Thank you, Keith" 

I responded.

He nods and little and faced the door, I watched him count his steps closer but suddenly he stopped, turned his back, kept the glass on top of the bed, and dragged me up with force.

I gasped at his attitude and he leaned in for a kiss.

My eyes opened in shock, I couldn't phantom why or what was happening.

He pulled me off and I fell back on the bed.

I looked at him and he takes the glass and fled, without actually telling me what just happened.

I came out after a while he did, and Keith went to his room after giving the glass to one of the help at home 

He sees me coming and immediately slammed the doors without giving me a chance to speak.

Of cause, he acts like that. 

Why did he kiss me, what was going on in his mind, seriously! I'm confused.

Mrs. Mathilda sees me standing at her son's door talking to myself.

She came to me and asked if I was okay, I nodded and returned to my room.

I'm sure Mrs. Mathilda, must be thinking I am out of my mind.

After all, Keith just kissed me, passionately without any force or me asking for it.

I've been waiting for this my whole life to finally get kissed by the one I love and now, it has happened.

Awesome right, does this mean, Keith is also In love with me or I am just being emotional.

The next morning, I came out dressed for college, I asked Mrs. Mathilda where Kieth was since I didn't find him inside his bedroom and she was like, he wants to do some leader's stuff at the pack's shelter.

I acknowledged but deep down felt like he was trying to avoid me.

I got a taxi and went to college alone.

I walked into the hall and everyone went quiet seeing me walk in.

They stared at me like I was some kind of freak or better yet, from another planet.

Gena comes out and caught me off guard by dragging my hair, I turned, and with anger, I slapped her right to her face 

The shock made everyone and everything quiet, and I walked straight from there to my seat.

Gena held her cheeks in dismay, she couldn't find her words and just left me alone.

Why didn't I do this early, because she has been a bitch, for a very long time?

After classes, I walked in the halls with my books in my hands, a guy walks and crashed them out and it plunges to the ground.

I bent down to pick it up and just then, Gena comes with her friends, she brings a cup of milkshake and positioned it on my head.

The lid was almost going out and the drink was just making its way to head, then someone comes in right on time to save me.

I felt a splash and I got up, seeing Stan facing holding Gena's hand with the lid of the milkshake in her hand.

"Wait! Where you going to pour that on me?".

I asked in mistrust.

She slapped Stan's hands away and stormed out,   I looked at her go with so much anger, I could see smoke coming out of her ears.

"Are you okay Samantha?".

Stan takes my attention.

"Yes! Thanks to you"

I replied.

He smiles and I went on asking why he came if he did come for the coffee date we planned.

Stan declined and notified me he was the new guy in school, he just resumed and on his way to the dean's office, he saw me almost getting drenched by Gena's evil plan.

I thanked him and thought why not have the coffee date at the school's cafeteria, we went talking to each other,  I ordered two cups of coffee and he asked for the cake bread as well, which was also my favorite.

Stan and I talked for a long there at the cafeteria, I could believe he wasn't just good looking but also we had the same likes and dislikes.

Something Keith and I have never actually had.

A few hours went by, we both walked out of the cafeteria together and walked to the dean's office.

He went in and I stood outside waiting.

Keith called and I had no idea my phone was silent.

Stan later comes out of the dean's office with his student files and some things to sign.

He volunteered to take me home and I accepted.

On our way, I saw Keith's call and voicemail, or more like a mad voicemail.

He was like, come home right away or else you'll be sorry.

I am aware that I am in love with him but Mr. Alpha shouldn't cross his boundaries, it is something I can't tolerate and won't ever do such as being shouted at by a man.

"Samantha! Are you okay?"

Stan takes my attention away, I nodded and without thinking, asked if we could chill a little at his house, surprisingly, he had no issue about that.

He takes a new turn and we went to his place.
