Alfred led us out of the packhouse and towards the line of white houses that ended at a certain point.  I wasn't in the mood to listen to him introducing the buildings and territories. All I know is that I need to attend school tomorrow. 

 

After walking for about five more minutes, a new, small house appeared. It had a rustic, country feel to it. The ceilings were high, the floors were wide, and the windows were big enough to let in a lot of natural light. There were usual supplies and bedsheets already set up, white sheets covered them to save them from catching dust.

 

After Alfred returned to his pack duty, I started cleaning up the place. Mom offered to help, but noticing that wound on her forehead, I begged her to go to sleep.

 

I don’t have a home anymore after dad died. Every minute,  there’s always someone, making sure to remind me to be grateful that I’m able to live.  And now as I get to clean my own home, it was actually therapeutic for me. 

 

An hour and a half later, I was done with dusting the place, wiping up the kitchen, couches, and bed. The only thing that stopped me from constantly thinking about what was going to happen tomorrow at the new school, was focusing on rubbing each corner of this house spotless with my hands until my body started aching.

 

I grabbed a glass of water from the kitchen and went to my mom’s room, but I stopped in front of her door when I heard her sobbing. My grip tightened on the glass in my hand.

 

Even though Brutus had been cruel to me, he had been good to my mother. She had considered everyone a family in our old pack. She left them behind and everything else for me. My heart ached as I felt the guilt grow in my chest. I need to pull the school stuff off. 

 

The next morning, by the time the clock struck eight, I was already up and had bathed. Since I wasn’t able to fall asleep, I had kept on thinking about how I will avoid everything that will come my way at the school. Mom hadn’t woken up, so I let her rest and left a note on the table next to her, letting her know that I was leaving for school.

 

I was going to go to the packhouse to get way for the school, but as soon as I opened the door, I saw Alfred standing outside the door with his arms crossed over his chest, just looking around coolly.

 

He turned to face me when I stepped out, “Right on time?! Impressive.”

 

“What are you doing here?” I closed the doors and turned to face him, confused. 

 

“Alpha’s orders.” he shrugged nonchalantly and handed me a school bag that felt a bit heavy, “come with me.”
