Chapter 37

[CHARLIE'S POV]

After receieving the pack link, to go to the meeting room, we (Ellie, Connor, and I) slowly make our way to the place.

We are some of the lasts to arrive. In my periphrial vision, I see Cole, standing at the podium, smile as I laugh at something Ellie had been saying.

We quietly take three seats in the back. Cole clears his throat into the microphone.

"Thank you all for attending this meeting. I'm sure your all very curious as to why I have called you here today. As you all know, our Luna, Charlie, was recently taken and found." Everyones eyes snap to me, while I investigate my nails, hoping they'll catch the hint and look away. "The one who took her, Mike Halloway, is planning an attack on us in three days time. He was planning on taking us by surprise, so his numbers will be smaller than ours, but they have had longer to train. We must be prepared and get started right away. Today at 4 o'clock we will all meet back up here and divide so we can train accordingly. You are dismissed, thank you."

I turn to my brother and his mate, "He's not going to let me fight, is he?" The both grimly shake their heads at me.

I sigh, knowing that I'll have to talk to him. I watch miserably as the crowd thins, until the only ones left are the three of us.

Cole eyes us carfully, obviously afraid that I might blow up on him again.

"Yes?" he asks equally wary.

"I'm not letting you hole me up in the safe house during this fight." I glare at him.

"And you won't be," I smile in victory.  "you'll be staying with the Blue Moon pack." He turns his back to me, avoiding my red face.

No, I'm not blushing. I'm pissed off.

"You can't do this! I want to see that bastard die just as much as you do!" I defend myself.

"There is no room for discussion. You will be attending training, but pack your bags, in two days you and Ellie will be leaving." I look sympathetically toward Ellie.

"What?" She cries, clearly just as pissed as I am to be excluded from the fight.

We share a look, then cry, "Connor!" at the same time.

He looks at us, the color draining from his face. "I actually agree with Cole." He drops his voice, hoping we won't here him.

"What?" Ellie and I screechat the same time.

Connor flinches but says nothing.

Ellie turns on her heel and stomps off, me following suit.

We both go back to my room.

I flop down on my bed while she makes herself at home on my been bag chair.

"Girls night in?" I ask after a few minutes of bored silence.

She smiles widely at me. "You read my mind."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME LAPSE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe that I've never seen that movie before!" Ellie exclaimed as the end credits came on.

"Well you do seem more of a 'The Notebook' kind of girl, so it doesn't surprise me." Giggled Becka.

"It's my favorite movie." Ellie admitted sheepishly.

Ellie had gotten the food and drinks, I had called up the girls and picked the movie. So now, Kylie, Becka, Maxie, Ellie and I were holed up in my room. We had just finished watching The Avengers, and were popping Spiderman in, when there was a knock at the door.

Becka's long, black hair was thrown up in a messy bun, and sagged slightly as she went to open the door. Her white tank top accented her pale skin and light blue eyes.

She swung the door open irritated, with a frustrated, "What?!"

"Is Charlie in there?" my mates voice floats to me from the entry way.

"She's busy!" Maxie calls, throwing a pair of my rolled up socks in the general direction of the wall. She misses, and it ends up bouncing off the ceiling and hitting me in the forehead.

"Max!" I cry, throwing a pillow at her. I hit her square in the face. "Whoops." I giggle.

"Watch the hair!" She cries.

Right now, Max is sitting on the floor by my bed, as Kylie attempts to braid her long red hair. She's literally the ginger version of Rapunzel. Kylie is sitting cross legged as Ellie kneels behind her, combing her reasonably-lengthed, brown hair into a classy bun.

Ellie had done their make up to; Kylies big brown eyes were accented by a nice sparkly eye-shadow, her lips painted a pale pink. Max's large green eyes, were bordered by heavy eyeliner, and a dab of mascara. Her lips were painted a bright red.

Needless to say, they were both gorgeous.

Becka had profusely denied anything 'involving girly shit or glitter, except unicorns, 'cause that shit rocks' I believe she put it.

I had stuck with Becka, denying everyone's efforts to girl-ify me.

"Please, I really need to talk to her."

"No can do Mr.Alpha sir. She's too busy looking at some shirtless dude." Becka began to close the door.

Before the door was even two centimeters closed, Cole barged in. Looking around until he found what he was looking for. True to her word, the movie was paused on the part where Peter Parker is looking in the mirror without his shirt on.

" 'Sup bro?" I flash him a piece sign and throw a piece of popcorn at his face.

He stares at me blankly before smiling cheerily at me.

I give him a questioning look.

"I have an important question for you."
