Chapter 19

I woke up groggy and tired. My encounter with Knox last night really drained my energy.

Knox saying that he wanted me back was definitely unexpected.

But I think I have come to a conclusion as too why he was asking for another chance. I think it is because since he is an Alpha, there has too be an Alpha Female. He didn't realize that when he was 18 but now that he is 20, it has probably come up. I bet that he thinks that I would take place as Alpha Female and we wouldn't have to have any relationship at all and he could just continue his "player" lifestyle.

If he was serious about me, then he wouldn't have slept with someone just last night. And one thing I know for sure, I am never going to be with someone that doesn't love me.

I stretched once I had finally pulled myself from my bed and walked over too my suitcase.

I quickly put all my clothes away, looking over at Kara's sleeping form to make sure I hadn't woken her. She was still sleeping deeply.

I planned out my day and for the first half of the day I was going to go see my family and friends then come back later too talk with Knox about why we were here.

I chose to wear a maroon sweater that fell off a shoulder, a pair of dark washed, slightly ripped jeans, and some black combat boots. I left the ring that Archer gave me on my right hand, then put on a necklace that had a arrow head on it.

After getting dressed, I pulled out my brush, toothpaste and toothbrush, and my makeup from my suitcase. Walking in the direction of the bathroom.

The bathroom had light blue walls and white tile on the floor.

I ran the brush through my hair, leaving it naturally straight. Brushed my teeth then moved on too makeup. Since I am usually training, I don't wear makeup usually. But because I am not training today, I assumed, I thought I would.

I swiped a thicker line of eyeliner over my eyelid, put on no eyeshadow, then curled my eyelashes and applied mascara. I was all done.

Leaving the bathroom, I headed in the direction of the kitchen.

Entering the room I noticed that no one was in it. I guess things don't really change at other pack houses.

I didn't let the change in atmosphere change my regular breakfast, so I made my smoothie and poured it in a travel cup. Ahhh routine, I love it.

Now time too get to my mission. Speak to people.

In one of the letters my mom sent me, she said that she still lived in my old house with her mate. She then told me that my father had moved into an apartment near the pack house.

I guess I would be needing a car.

Maybe Landon would have one that I could borrow. Now all I'd have too do is find him.

I guess I could knock on every door until he answers one, but I decided to do the simplest thing that I could think of.

I walked to the front door and rang the doorbell then went and stood by the door inside.

At least the person who does answer could help me find him.

A pair of footsteps came from the grand staircase and I looked up to see Landon, half asleep, walking sluggishly down the steps.

He wore a pair of black boxers and a brown oversized t-shirt. He hadn't noticed me yet, so when he got to the bottom of the steps I spoke up.

"You look attractive." I said sarcastically. His eyes darted toward me and he put a hand to his heart.

"Jeez, you scared me. I didn't even see you. Did you ring the doorbell?" He asked coming towards the door.

"Yep, I need your help." I said looking in his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes tiredly,"can I help you later?"

"No I need help instantly, and if you were so tired why did you answer the door?" I asked curiously.

"Punishment, I have to answer the door every time it rings, no matter what time." He said annoyed with the punishment.

"Why is that a punishment?" I said chuckling.

"Don't underestimate it. I would never have come up with it, but it is pure torture. I have too do it for a full week! Alpha Knox is very creative with punishments."

"Knox? Why did he punish you?" I asked in disbelief. Landon never did anything wrong, maybe things have changed.

"I accidentally crashed one of Knox's cars."Landon said,"yeah not one of my best moments."

"You crashed Knox's car?" I said laughing hard.

"ONE of his cars. Knox has like five extremely nice cars. Anyway, a guy pulled out in front of me! It wasn't even my fault!" His face pulled into a expression of frustration.

"Riiigghhtt,"a sly smile on my face,"Well on the subject, I actually need to borrow a car. I'm visiting people today."

"Sorry, but I don't have one. I'm poor. But Knox might, and that is a huge MIGHT, let you borrow his. What with you coming to protect our pack and all." He said smiling.

"Thanks, get some sleep Landon." I said hugging him.

"OK, I can't believe you are here Hazel. I honestly thought that I would never see you again." He said, breaking my heart a little bit.

"No matter what Landon, I would have come back eventually. And we are going to hang out soon. Tonight if I can." I said smiling at him.

"Missed you too, have fun today." He said and then we both went out separate directions.

I stood in front of Knox's office, the memory of me punching him playing in my mind. I giggled a little and sighed before opening the door.

Knox was sitting at his desk, reading papers. A little flutter crept up in my stomach. I tried too shoo it away but it was impossible.

He looked up and when he saw that it was me he looked back at his papers.

"Hello too you to." Sarcasm in my words."I'll get to the point, I need to borrow a car."

Still looking at his papers, he said, "Why would you need a car?"

"I am going to see my parents." I replied.

"Fine," he opened a drawer from his desk and pulled out a set of keys,"Here." He reached over the desk and held them out to me.

I grabbed them and our fingers brushed together causing a warmth that I had never felt before crawl up my fingers.

I quickly turned on my heel and headed toward the door. "Thanks Knox." I was all I said reaching for the door knob.

"Be back by 2." He mumbled huskily.

I looked back at him and for the first time our eyes met. His deep blue eyes stopped my legs from moving any further and I found myself lost in his eyes.

We stayed in eye contact for a moment until I turned away and nodded my head and walked out into the hall.

I jangled the keys in my hands and walked toward the garage.

the garage was huge, it held about 7 cars. All fancy and expensive. I would admit, I was excited. I wanted too drive all of them.

I clicked the unlock button on the keys and the unlocking beep came from a beautiful Aston Martin Vanquish.

OHMYGOD. This had to be one of my top 3 favorite cars of all time.

I being the first too say horrible things about Knox but one thing is for sure. He had great taste in cars.

I ran my hand up the sleek charcoal paint of the hood. Admiring all the curves of the sexy beast. I opened the door and took in the inside of the car. The interior was black and perfect.

I finally sat down on the soft leather of the seat, awww.

This day was already perfect.

The purr of the engine sounded when I turned the key.

I pulled out of the garage and drove away from the massive mansion. The car felt smooth and changed gears easily.

I set my direction toward my dads apartment building. He had no idea I was coming. This would be interesting.
