“Okay, ladies! Thank you all for coming out for our Rush Run With The Wolves,” Chelsea’s voice echoed across the quad thanks to the obnoxious bull horn she held to her lips. “I am so excited to see what our newcomers' pelts look like, and how fast we can race!”
I rolled my eyes. “She realizes that there are a few girls here that are not shifters, right?” I whispered to Ami. Ami had a scowl on her face, and was staring daggers at our fearless leader.
“She knows,” Ami growled. Kimi and Rose looked back from the spot where they were standing. The girls who had applied for membership were at the front of the group, and all looked excited, except for Rose. She looked a little worried.
I made my way over to my sister and
“Woooo,” one of my frat brothers ran past me wearing a bedsheet as a toga. I had to laugh. He was already drunk, as well as most of our potential pledges. I lost track of Kam an hour earlier. Since the point of the party was to build trust and friendship between potential brothers, I had to leave him on his own.Rina came up beside me with a bottle of water in her hand. “I see Frankie is giving everyone the introduction to Greek life they deserve,” she said, amused.“Yeah. I doubt he’ll be the only guy racing through the party wearing very little,” I said back. “You and your sorority sisters did an awesome job setting up.”Rina shrugged. “We just reused the same shitty stuff from last year for decorations, and
“Allright, pups! Tonight we party and have fun!” Jake was giving all of us potential pledges a pep talk before the party got into full swing. “I don’t want you guys to worry about anything. Your future brothers and I are going to make sure you will be taken care of, and that you trust us. So,” he lined up shot glasses in front of us, “I’m asking you all to get shitfaced, and have fun. If you don’t want to get shitfaced, it won’t count against you. Well, unless you keep a stick up your ass, but I don’t think any of you have one of those.”We all chuckled at his lame joke. I had never drank before, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to now. What would my mom think? She’s not here. What would Rose think? I looked at the shot glass in front of me. There was a first time for everything, Ray and Kimi seem to handle alcohol fin
A knock sounded at our apartment door while I was studying in Nate’s room. It was pretty fun to just be there and have his scent surround me, but we’re way too young to be moving in together for a long term thing.I got up and went to answer the door, and found my sister on the other side. “Rose,” I called down the hall, “Rina is here!”I let Rina in, and we settled on the couch in the living area. She pulled out her laptop and set it up on the coffee table. Rose came staggering down the hall yawning and stretching. She was wearing a pair of sleep shorts and one of Kam’s t-shirts. “Did you find them?”“Yup,” Rina said, popping the “p.”
“Now that Sarina has graced us with her presence, we can begin the process of selection!” I burst into the media room to find everyone else already gathered, and Chelsea at the front with her laptop connected to the television. There was an image on the screen with pink background, and the words, “Potential Sisters,” was surrounded with various flowers and vines. It was cute, and very basic. Just like Chelsea.“By all means,” I said with a smile, “Thanks for waiting.” I took a seat on the floor next to Andrea, a senior majoring in history with dark red hair, and gray eyes. I’m pretty sure we’re distant cousins, but we haven’t figured out which ancestor we have in common.“Where were you,” she whispered.
Saturday morning came, and I was comfortably sleeping in with Kimi next to me, probably for the last time for a while since she was accepted into Gamma Lambda Eta, when my phone started ringing. I was not happy about that. Who the fuck calls someone on a Saturday morning?Kimi murmured next to me, and nudged me to answer the ghastly thing. I groaned and rolled over to reach my phone. “This had better be my mother or an emergency, because if it’s not, I’m hanging up,” I grumbled with my eyes closed.A low chuckle greeted me from the other end of the call. “Don’t hang up on me, kid. It’s not an emergency, but I do need to talk to you without your dad around.”“Uncle Micky? What’s going on?” I rolled out of bed,
“So, it was close for both of you,” Rina said as she drove us to the sorority house for the bid dinner. Kam was riding with us as well since his dinner was across the street from ours. “Chelsea has recruited a few bitchy wolves the last few years.”“We’ll manage,” I said, and squeezed Kam’s hand.Kam smirked at me. “Besides, Nate and I would love to have you two back with us if things get too much.”“Are you sure you don’t regret not living in the frat with Ray?” Kimi asked from the front seat.“Yeah. They only had six beds available, and they accepted almost three times as many people, according to Ray,” Kam answered. &l
My alarm went off at three in the morning, and I hadn’t been to sleep yet. It was bid night, and after we’d set the pups up in the living room to sleep, I’d gone back to my room and had been texting back and forth with Sue since. I was letting her know the plans for the pups since Kam was one of them. Sue is pretty twisted, so she would get a kick out of some of the trials we had in store for them.A knock sounded at my door shortly after my alarm went off, and I had to get moving. I pulled on a pair of sweats and moved out of my room, and down to the living room to wake up our new brothers. Jake was already there with an air horn. When all the guys were gathered, including those that were visiting from their own apartments, Jake blew the horn to wake the pups.“Good morning, pups,” he called. &ldq
Was I worried about what Matty might try on Rose? Sure. Was I actually worried about Rose now that she mostly had control of her shifting? A little. I just couldn’t let everyone else see that. Rose needed confidence to shift, and by hell or high water, I wasn’t going to let her down in that area.After the “family meeting” Ray had called, Rose and I gathered our shit and moved it into the Cock Blocker for transportation, and she and Kam disappeared into his room for a goodbye fuck. I was tempted to do the same with Nate, but I had to voice my concerns to someone.“She needs people to believe in her abilities,” I told Nate when we were waiting for the lovebirds to come back.He nodded. “I know. I’ll try to have my co
