Chapter 005

She's 18, two years younger than I am but Alpha Taylor hasn't enrolled her in Werewolf High yet and I never understood why, the fact that she wasn't allowed to go to High school like all of her friends in the pack and they also refused to tell her the reason as to why they made such a decision caused a rift between her and her parents so she always preferred to be alone with her makeups in her room and her parents will do anything to make her happy, anything except taking her to a Highschool

Not only did they not enroll her in Werewolf High, but they also didn't allow her to go anywhere outside the Pack's territory and Chloe wasn't exactly happy with that so whenever she retaliated, I was always the one punished because of her, crazy right? They can't punish their dear daughter when she gets them angry so they vent all their anger on me, not fair right? Well I've never been treated fairly my whole life so I have no complaints, I just have to get used to being punished for someone else's misbehaviors

I knocked on her door and I got no response

What do these people have against responding to door knocks?!

I opened the door and peeped in

"Chloe" I called but the room was empty and the window was wide open

I quickly ran to the opened window as a bad realization reared its ugly face at me, the tied rope dangling down the window confirmed my fears, and Chloe sneaked out of the house again!! Now I'll be the one to bear the brunt for her actions....

My body went colder with each heavy step I took down the stairs. Beads of sweat formed on my temples in anticipation of the punishment that was soon to befall me

"Why are you coming down alone? Where is Chloe?" Luna Kathleen queried in a stentorian tone that sent chills down my being

Josh was already at the dining table and along with Alpha Taylor, they had their eyes fixed on me waiting for me to speak

 "Why aren't you saying anything? Cat got your tongue Lorraine?" Alpha Taylor questioned

 "Umm..... I...... Chloe......She....."

"Speak before I rip out your tongue with my claws Lorraine!" Luna Kathleen bellowed making me flinch

"Chloe..... Chloe isn't......she isn't in her room" I stuttered, my lips shaking with the pronunciation of each word

 "Did she sneak out again?" Josh asked still munching his dinner

 "Chloe isn't in her room?!!" Alpha Taylor sprang up 

"Yes Alpha, it....it seems she sneaked out again"

 "I told you didn't I Lorraine? Always keep an eye on Chloe but you never listen now she's sneaked out again!!" Luna Kathleen fumed

"I'm sorry Luna" I uttered obscurely

 "Sorry don't bring my daughter back to me!!" Luna Kathleen bellowed advancing angrily at me but Alpha Taylor held her back

"We'll find her dear, I'll send some pack warriors to look for her and we’ll find her" Alpha Taylor assured

"You will also go and look for my daughter Lorraine and do not dare return without finding her because if you set your filthy feet into this house and my daughter isn't here yet, I will make you suffer miserably!" Luna Kathleen fumed strongly spelling out each word that made me believe she meant everything she said

I stood still, not sure of what to do but Luna Kathleen looked at me with the most angry eyes

"You are still here?" 

 "I'm... I'm sorry Luna, I'll get going now" I said and I quickly dashed out of the house

"Lorraine" someone called as I stepped out of the Mansion

I looked back to see Josh standing by the door and staring at me, a smirk plastered on his face

"If only you had made me happy back there in the bathroom, then maybe I'll have been able to put in a favorable word for you and prevent Mum from sending you out in the middle of the night, but you remain so overly stubborn and this will be your punishment, next time make your choice wisely Lorraine because yes, there will be a next time as I haven't had my fill of you yet," Josh said smacking his lips as he stared at me

"Have a fun time looking for Chloe" he added and walked back into the Mansion

I trudge down the lone pathway of the pack's territory, the moonlight was the only source of light to see and it was as though the weather had decided to go against me tonight too as a heavy wind suddenly began to blow getting me scared, the cold wind of the night gusting across my face made me squint my eyes to see properly

Where would I possibly find Chloe in this weather?

I got to the end of the pack's territory and I stopped

She couldn't have possibly strayed farther from the pack’s territory right? A wolf outside her pack's territory at night and in this weather can be very dangerous as there are many betas and games out there that tend to hurt people who stray too far away from their pack at night. I know this because I've heard stories, stories of our wolves being beaten up and molested by other wolves of the high-ranking packs when they strayed too far at night

"Chloe!!!" I called several, my eyes carefully scanning the surrounding

Oh please Chloe, don't make me go outside the pack.

But I knew there was no point in hoping or praying, Chloe wasn't here so I'd have to go past the pack's territory to look for her, I had no choice

I proceeded into a dark stormy night outside the Pacific's territory. Muttering a silent prayer as I ambled into the night
