Chapter Three

Jewel's POV

I spent my entire weekend in hiding but that's about to end because it's Monday and I can't ditch school today because I have a big Chemistry test that shoulders a lot of points I need for the school term to pass... sigh...

I roll out of bed and head to the bathroom to shower and get ready... Today I opted for skinny jeans a fitted shirt and plad button down jacket to cover with my Vans...

""Good morning all"" ....*morning* they all say at once... we sit down to our breakfast of toast, bacon, egg and cheese omelette with my favorite French Vanilla Coffee... we make our usual small talk... my dad is also a Chemistry geek so we talk about my exam today and how he's sure I'm gonna ace it just because he's my dad lol...

After breakfast my sisters and brother get into my car and we head to school... I am half dreading and half excited... but either way I'll be okay, I'm sure...

We disperse to our classes....

The bell freeing me from Math in third period is sending me to Chemistry in fourth... I'm in the hallways when the scent of my mate almost knocks me over, at the same time I see a guy in the distance with his back turned to me stiffen and sniff the air.. oh goddess! he turns and looks at me first with excitement then with confusion, It's Drew Kizmet... he's my mate?.... whyyyyyy?... I know he's going to reject me... I just know it... Jade...brace yourself... he's coming over...

I see him say something to his group of friends before fist bumping with his Delta and they all burst out laughing before he makes his way over to me... I have no idea why I'm rooted in this spot... Just as I'm about to make a run for it... I feel him grab my hand and tingles shoot up my hand....

{{Hello Mate!...}} I can see it's his wolf speaking... {{Why did you run away from us last night?}}

((I didn't run away..)) {{DON'T LIE TO US}} his grip on my hand tightens but not enough to hurt me in any significant way, by then the entire school is watching us.... (I'm sorry... I was scared of being rejected)... his eyes soften and he caressed my cheek...and I can't help but lean into his touch, then he leaned into my neck and inhaled my scent giving a small groan of desire and satisfaction, {{WHAT'S YOUR NAME BEAUTIFUL MATE?}} he thinks I'm beautiful, ((Jewel)) {{ JEWEL... IT SUITS YOU PERFECTLY MATE, COME MY LUNA LET'S GO}} 

He extends his hand for me and just before I take it...

" DREW!! " I hear Quinn our pack blunt call out to him which makes me growl lowly at her... she called out to him again as he's still looking intently at my face...at my lips... "DREW!!" he turns angrily and stares at her coldly, {{WHAT DO YOU WANT SHE WOLF?}} come on get it over with already... she hesitates at his ouburst of aggression towards her, she clears her throat to compose herself and glares at the people that are laughing at her, "do you remember the she wolf I told you about?... the one that messes around with the pack warriors?" his eyes change back to their normal brown and he nods at her.

""What about that she wolf Quinn?, this isn't the best time to be talking about slu-- wait! you said her name was Jewel... didn't you?.. this Jewel?"" he gestures to me and my world begins to crash slowly when she looks at me with a smirk and nods at him.

"Put her out of her misery and let's go"... Beta Jahmal speaks up looking upset, ""Drew don't do or say anything rash, we don't even know if Quinn is telling the truth why don't you ask your mate if it's true or not before doing something you'd regret"" he turns to me... {{Jewel does Quinn speak the truth...? do you mess around with the pack warriors?}} ((No Drew I do not we're just friends, nothing more)) he breathes a sigh of relief but I guess the're just determined to hurt me, another of Quinn's posse shouts... "SHE"S LYING TO YOU DREW!" just then his eyes harden and he takes hand away from my cheek... he stares hard at me and says what I dreaded the most.

  {{I Drew Kizmet, Future Alpha of the Crescent Blood Peak Pack here-by reject you Jewel Stuart as my Mate and future Luna of this pack...}} He smirked and looked down and me.... I stared directly into his eyes and said.... ((I Jewel Stuart of the Crescent Blood Peak Pack here-by accept your rejection... Am I free to go now Drew? I'll be even more late for Chemistry)).... I turn and head to class and I can feel his eyes as well as other students eyes on me as I make my way through the halls and into class... ""Jade I know you took the blow of the rejection for me are you okay?..."" ((Yes Jewel I'm fine, just need to rest for a bit)) ""Okay, thank you for doing that, take your time and rest, I'll check in on you later.."" {{okay! Later!}}

I know they where all expecting me to fall over a wreath in pain and cry but I'd never give any of them the satisfaction, they make way for me to pass through to get to my class... considering I walked past all the students in the hall and a few teachers.. I was first to arrive to class... my teacher Mrs. Macklebee comes up to me and pulls me into a hug... I hug her back but still I didn't cry.. once she realizes I'm okay she lets me go and I take my seat as the other students begin to file into class.

It's now lunch time and I make my way to my usual spot and my siblings are already waiting for me... my sisters look sad but my brother on the other hand looks very angry, well I guess they already heard, saves me from having to tell them... I sit and we  eat in silence but I can feel their gazes on me as well as everyone else in the cafeteria...

""Sigh... Guys... I'm really okay... no need to look at me so pitifully... I'm not a 21st generation warrior wolf for nothing you know..."" I smile and they do too except my brothers' smile doesn't meet his eyes...""Hey..JJ if you so much as cause any trouble I'd beat the shit out of you!...got it?..."" he swallows and nods his head and eats his food... after a while we do our usual small talk and goof off..

After school I make my way to my car to wait for the others to head home...I just want to get this whole day out of my mind and system, Once outside I'm greeted by the sight of my ex mate in a make out session with Quinn... hmmm, it's odd that I don't feel anything at all... no pain or even jealousy... I know mate bonds usually take two full moons to completely break... perhaps is because Jade is disconnected... I shrug and go to my car... my friend Kale runs up to me from the side and lifts me and spins with me which makes me squeal... he knows I hate it when he does that... I hear a growl from the other side which I know is Drew but neither of us pay any mind....

I guess Kale is putting on a show for the Future Alpha, I hope he doesn't find a way to punish him through his father later.

He sets me down on the hood of my car and leans onto me like we usually do when we're at practice and shares his M&M;s with me, Kale loves sweets, I'm sure if he was human he would've been diabetic by now,  he's also a warrior and in most cases my partner... that action however earns us another growl except this one is louder and filled with possession and jealousy... I roll my eyes and slide off the car as the others approach... Kale calls shot gun and gets in on the passenger side and the others hop in back... We have training today so Kale usually rides with me... I hear Drew growl as I slide into my seat and see him attempt to make his way to my car but by that time I've already sped away... Asshole!
