ALIYAH

Aliyah loved the feel of the wind against her skin, as she drove to school radio on full blast. The beauty of nature could be fully appreciated in these areas, the evergreen fields, trees standing proud and a clear view of the city. Her pack, the Blood Born pack was hidden from the world, surrounded by nature.

It had always been this way for the entire werewolf community. The wind blew hair across her face blocking her view, she tried to control it resulting in the coffee beside her taking a dunk.

"Oh, what a mess",she muttered trying to rectify the situation, she reached for the wipes at the back seat.

"watch out lady!!!" a frantic scream rang out

she jolted forward as she stepped on the breaks to avoid colliding with the van making a sharp bend....too late.

she collided with a black mini truck that now had steam coming from it and a big dent by the side. Her car on the other hand was left with only minor scratches.

she slowly lifted her head to see a very angry truck owner with a scowl on his young face, nostrils flaring as he clenched his jaw.

An African - American around the same age as she was, stood akimbo glaring at her.

"step out of the car lady!" the boy shouted already down from his van, Aliyah noted he was human, had it been a wolf she certainly wouldn't have gotten the same reaction. Instead of an apology, a quick compensation would suffice, she reasoned.

"listen, calm down, I'll pay for the damage" she reached for her purse.

"say what now?" he huffed out in surprise, "get out of the car before I lose my patience and call the cops "

she stepped out of the car, "I said I'll pay", she was frustrated, this was supposed to be a perfect day. It was the day before her 18th birthday.

"young lady do you know what is called manners? you don't even look sorry..."

A deep voice interrupted them, it seemed to Aliyah that there was another person in the truck sitting there unfazed all along

"let it go, Mike, it seems she won't apologize just take the money, we have a place to get to"

Aliyah looked in the truck and what she saw took her breath away, he was perfect, dark hair, perfectly sculpted face... How can a man's skin be so flawless, and those eyes... she snapped back taking in a deep breath, form his scent she knew he was a wolf, why hasn't she noticed before?...not just any wolf an Omega ...wait and he dared look her dead in the eye?...not even stepping out to pay respect?

"no way Elijah, she's a brat! my front light and the side of my truck is all messed up while she got off with barely any damage at all!"

Aliyah was no longer interested in the scuffle, she felt insulted, walking over to the person she now Knew was called Elijah who seemed to have no plans of getting down from the truck.

"Hey! redhaired brat!" Mike called "I'm not done talking to you, hey!" He spun around following her movement fustration evident in his voice.

Aliyah glared at Elijah who just stared back...after a few minute .. she broke the silence

"you are telling me you do not know who I am" she pointed out in a calm voice.

Turning to Micheal, Elijah asked "can you give us a few minutes bro?.

He stepped down from the truck as Micheal stepped away reluctantly muttering curses under his breath.

"I'll cut straight to the point, I know who you are Aliyah, but that doesn't matter in this situation, you owe my friend an apology and a cheque-please do make it quick we really have to be on our way"

As much as Aliyah would want to bring him to his knees she needed to be at school, fuming she marched towards her car, grabbed her checkbook scribbling on it,

" here, for the damage," she handed it to Micheal

"keep the change ".. getting into her car she zoomed off leaving a cloud of dust as testament to her rage.

Draping his arms across Elijah's shoulders Mike moved his head from side to side as they watched Aliyah drive off.

" that girl needs a touch from the lord"...

Elijah looked at him for a while a twitch tugging at the corner of his lips before they both burst out laughing.
