View More{Rose's POV}I was running late today, which was causing me quite a bit of stress. 'Hey, I'm going to be later than usual, don't worry about waiting for me, hopefully we can meet at our lockers, but no guarantees.' I mindlinked with Lily as I jumped into my car.When I finally got to the school I rushed out of my car and faltered at the end of the parking lot. I had noticed Henry, slowly making his way towards the school building. I had remembered what Lily has said yesterday.Henry had definitely been taken care of. He had his arm in a sling, what appeared to be a broken nose, and a nice black eye. And that all was with the accelerated werewolf healing we had. I couldn't suppress my sn
I woke up with a groan, feeling frustrated. I rolled out of bed and stood in front of my mirror. I looked awful, like I hadn't slept at all. I was still exhausted, even though I had only done one extra task yesterday outside of my daily routine. The grocery shopping.I sighed and pulled off my shirt, pausing as my scar caught my eye. I hated that scar, it only caused me pain. I scowled at it and quickly grabbed a clean shirt, clean jeans, and socks and underwear. I rushed into the shower and made it as quick as I could so I wouldn't be late for school.Pat was waiting for me downstairs in the kitchen. “I made you scrambled eggs. They aren't as good as yours but I wanted to make sure you had something to eat.” He gave me a good look. “Man you look beat. Can I ge
{Jax's POV}We finished our grocery shopping and I hesitated by the doors. I could still smell her, she hadn't left yet. I took a deep breath, braced myself, and we head out the doors. I heard a car start and watched the dark sedan pull away. I could feel some of the tension lift from my chest.When we got home I immediately began making dinner while Pat put things away. Smelling food Sal came barreling into the kitchen launching himself at my legs hugging them. “It smells so good Jax! Thank you!” He yelled out in excitement.I smiled warmly at him as I continued to cook with him attached to my legs. Pat chuckled as he finished up. He head out of the kitchen then leaving just me and Sal. I le
{Rose's POV}I fell back as I crashed into Jax, shock coursing through my entire system as I dropped the bag of pretzels. In a flash of movement he caught the bag midair, and held it out to me as I looked up at him completely stunned.He seemed frozen in shock. How could he just be directly behind her, facing her, like that? Why was he so close to begin with? And now he's standing there like a crazy person holding the bag of pretzels out to me like I hadn't just full on crashed into him.Years and years of him tormenting me, being needlessly aggressive towards me for far less, being harsh and rude and mean to me, and in the past two days, he went from slamming me into my locker simply for existing, to ap
{Jax's POV}Me and Pat were talking animatedly as Pat pushed the cart and I put in groceries, leading the way through the store. We were in the dairy section getting milk when I felt my body stiffen in alarm. This was quickly getting familiar.As her sent hit my nose I knew without a doubt that she had just walked into the store. She really smells amazing! Luca howled excitedly. You're right, but be quiet! I halfheartedly chided my wolf. “She's here.” I whispered very quietly to Pat.He went quiet and shot me a concerned look. A wild thought came over me and it was like I lost control of my own actions. I started making my way over to where she was. I watche
I basically coasted through my next class deep in thought and when I got to my next class I sat down next to Lily, still feeling kind of distant. She leaned over and whispered in my ear. “Nothing happened last class.” I knew what she was referring to. Jax was in her last class. Even without the weirdness it was normal for us to share what happens regarding him because he was such a bully toward me. But now, now it felt even more important. We were pretty quiet after class, and we ended up going our separate ways pretty quietly because I was still frustrated with Cass, feeling frustrated with myself, and I felt weird around Lily for some reason. My next class went by in a complete blur as well, and as I
{Rose's POV} Lily and I walked over to our lockers in silence. We weren't exactly sure what to say at this point. What had just happened was strange and intense. I was really confused and I still felt a little bit tingly. We put our stuff in our lockers in silence still, both of us stunned beyond words. I still wasn't sure what had just happened. When he had pulled me over to him, I completely expected violence of some kind. Not that. Not that intense stare-down. Before then I had never noticed that his eyes were a leafy green, close to my wolf's emerald green eyes. The color was quite complimentary to his sandy blond hair that was just a few inches long and rather shaggy.
{Jax's POV} All things considered, I actually hadn't given much thought to my potential mate before this school year. I had so much going on between therapy, education, training, and helping out at home, my future mate was the last thing on my mind. I knew it was popular to fantasize about your potential mate, do think about all the coming sensations and the unimaginable connection with another person. And since my future mate would be Luna, there would also be the hope of a strong, kind, loyal, and trustworthy partner. But I never had the time nor energy to think about these things, and I wasn't sure if I was ever going to care. That is, until I encountered Rose this school year. Suddenly e
{Rose's POV} I hoped today would go better than yesterday. I couldn't believe how derailed the whole day had gotten. Today was supposed to be the beginning of a great year, yet Jax was relentless. I hopped out of my car just as Lily arrived. She hopped off Baby and smiled at me. “New day! Let's dominate today!” She said cheerfully, clapping me on my shoulder. I smiled at her before getting distracted by the red car that parked on the other side of mine. Jax and Pat. I hadn't even realized they rode in together, though I guess it made sense. After Jax parked he looked directly at me for a moment, before looking at Pat to say something. Pat looked over at me now, then back at Jax.
{Rose's POV} I took a deep breath before slinging my backpack over my shoulder. This was it. This was the first day of senior year of high school. I vowed to not let anybody, nor anything, get in the way of me finally having a great school year. And that included Jax, the guy that had been bullying me since early elementary school. I wasn't actually sure why Jax chose me to be the focus of his bullying, but I was the main person he would consistently bully. Granted, everyone in school was afraid of him, mostly because he was in line to be Alpha soon. My lineage was nothing notable, I never did anything to stand out, and as far as I was aware, I had done nothing to him personally to earn his ire. Yet,...
