The Blue Wolf novel Chapter 9

Arabella's Perspective:

Well about two minutes later, I was walking with Ryker down a long tree tunnel canopy path. It was really beautiful, and in a normal situation I probably would have been stealing leaves off of the branches and pressing them into one of my novels.

Ryker saw my sad expression looking up to the branches."Ara, can I call you that?" I said "Sure. Call me whatever. I don't care about anything anymore. I'm forever doomed, I can never leave here."

Ryker laughed a charming laugh. I looked at him and smiled. I started thinking of something funny to say "Rye, can I call you that?" He snorted and said "No way, I'm not bread." I started laughing "So why are you on these grounds, can another Alpha even be on a different Alphas grounds?"

He took another picture. "Usually, no, unless you have some sort of business to deal with, but I kind of have a VIP pass to Alpha William's pack grounds."

I looked at him confused "Why is that?" He laughed an un-comfortable laugh now. "Man I hate talking about this since I feel like I sound pretentious or something."

Now I was curious. "Tell me?" He sighed: "Year's ago, a pack, that I was allied with wanted to take down Will's pack. I knew it was wrong, because they didn't care if they killed women and children, and I don't stand for that. So I went against my allies and saved Will's parents, siblings and him. Then six months later, the council awarded me the honour medal. So Will's parents: Christopher, and Nina. They said I was allowed on these grounds any time. I really like their huge garden, trees and flowers. That's why I come here."

I rose my eyebrow at him "And what's the council?" He laughed "Just a fancy word for The group of people who know all the werewolf laws, make new ones or change them. The council's laws apply to any pack. No matter how big or strong."

I nodded and asked "And what do they want with someone like me?" Ryker started laughing really hard now. His laugh made me laugh too.

Once we both calmed down. I hit him and said "What? Tell me, tell me." He said still giggling "Well you've probably already heard, but there's this Myth about a Blue Wolf that has all these magical powers or something. And plus your the most powerful packs Luna, so that's why they wanna meet you, access you, plus also, since William has worked really hard to make his Pack the strongest, theres lots of women who pretend to be his mate, just so they can be a The Luna of this Pack. So maybe they are checking if you're a faker."

I took a deep breath of relief. Finally someone who didn't think I was Harry P, "So then you don't believe it, do you?" Ryker shook his head "Nah, maybe when I was five, I did. It's like Santa Claus. But you are William's mate. That much is true."

I said "Please help me escape." Ryker shook his head now irritated and said "VIP pass or not, if I did that William would have my head. Plus he's a good guy when you get to know him."

I said "You know him?" He said "No no, but I've heard. I do know Nina and Chris though, and they are very kind people."

I made a frustrated expression. "Isn't there anyway I can escape?" Ryker looked at me seriously "Even if you did escape, it wouldn't do you any good, some one would come for you anyways, Packs all over the world are hunting for The Blue Wolf, wether to try to kill you or to try to make you their Luna. It's better for you to just stay here. And like I said before William is Nina and Christopher's son, he's a good guy."

Ryker and me walked for another five minutes silently, then we came near a bench. Ryker sat down. He patted the spot beside him. I sat down. He pulled out a bottle of whiskey from his bag, twisted the cap open and took a sip. I said "So you're a day drinking, photographer, Alpha?" Ryker shrugged his shoulders "Pretty much Ara. Usually your pack only has lots of enemies if you want power. If I had a brother I'd just give my Alpha position to him. But I don't. So I'm burdened with it."

He offered me the bottle, usually I would have denied it, but considering my cluster fuck situation I took a few chugs. Once I was on my fourth chug. Ryker said "Whoa slow down tiger." and stole the bottle from me. I laughed feeling a light buzz now. He looked at me and took a chug again and laughed too.
