The Strong Bond novel Chapter 3

"Got it" Lena calls out jumping off the last step. She reaches the handle and opens the door to be greeted by a black wolf costume.

"Umm, Keith what the hell are you supposed to be?" Lena questions taken back by this.

"Well I called Blair and asked her what you were dressing up as. She said that you guys were going to be witches. But knowing you so well she figured you would go as something else. So I thought it be perfect to go with the theme. Little red riding hood and the big bad wolf" Keith answers happily. Though Lena didn't want to say it to his face, but she did not like it at all. She didn't know why it bothered her so much, but she decided to let it go and not fuss over it. She gives him the best played off approved smile she could, before saying her goodbyes to her parents.

Pulling up to the rising-sun pack house, Lena couldn't believe how many people were here already. When she stepped out of Keith's car he was right by her side looping her arm into his. As they started walking towards the pack house there was what sounded like a deep growl from a distance. "Did you hear that?" Lena asks looking around as they walked. "Hear what?" Keith questions. Lena wonder maybe if she was hearing things so she just dismissed it, and told him "Nevermind".

Within the hour the house was packed not only with kids from their pack, but a few others as well. Lena excused herself from the fan girls that were surrounding Keith, who gave her an apological look. But she just shrugged, and went to look for her cousin Blair.

"I should have guess you would be no other than little red. You were always obsessed with that story when we were kids" Blair says from behind her. Lena turns to face her loving cousin who was wearing a long pin straight black wig, and a little too tight black mini dress. If Blair didn't have the pointed witch hat on and a broom in her hand, she would resemble a prostitute Lena thought to herself.

"I know you're out there" She yells out towards the woods. "I don't know why you insist on hiding. I know you've been watching over me every since we first met" Lena spoke taking a few more steps towards the woods. She waited a minute to see if she would get some type of response before saying something else.

"If you don't show yourself then I'll have no choice but to come in there and find you myself" Lena warned giving him one more chance, and she had no problem going through with her threat. This time she wanted answers and it was time for him to stop avoiding her.

Damian watched the party continue from the woods behind the pack house. He was sure he would have been caught after the threatening growl that escaped his chest. Then again he was too occupied with his stupid party to know anything else that was going on around him. When he saw that stupid boy link his arm with Lena. His wolf lost it, but Damian made sure to stay in control. He understood why it made his wolf want to go over there and rip him apart. Seeing how he was being so reckless with their mate, and touching her as well. It only irritated his wolf more, which didn't help with his own personal mood. The boy was next in line to be alpha and should know better to be on guard for potential danger.
