Chapter Seven

A horn sounded from outside indicating that Lucas had arrived to take me to school and if I was to be honest with you I didn’t feel eager to leave. “That’s my ride” I announced swiftly making my leave for the front door before I could chicken out,  run back upstairs and tuck myself back into my bed.

“Your ride?” he asked in utter surprised confusion as he trailed behind me.

“Yeah, Lucas offered me a ride, that’s ok with you? right?” I asked swinging the front door open as I headed out.

“Err, I guess” he seemed unsure if he was supposed to agree to such a thing.

“I’ll be fine uncle Jesse” I laughed, having a teenager in his life was a huge learning curve for him, I’m sure.

“Alright, do you need me to pick you up after school?” he yelled after me as I made my way towards Lucas’s car.

“Nah, ill figure it out. later uncle Jesse” I waved, swinging the door open and climbing into the passenger side of Lucas’s blue ford car.

“Is this a ford mustang?” I asked shoving my backpack by my feet.

“Yeah, you know cars?” he laughed lightly, definitely surprised at the idea of a girl knowing such things.

“Not really but I watched Ashton, a friend of mine work on one of these back home” I filled him in on the short version. I personally didn’t care for cars, to me a car was a car but to Ashton that was his specialty.

He nodded his head lightly at the information before setting the car in motion.

“Oh and hi” I greeted, completely forgetting my manners. At this rate the town will think all city chicks are mannerless weirdo’s.

“hi” he chuckled in amusement, my hands fidgeting on my lap with my nerves. I wonder if he can sense how agitated I was feeling this morning.

“so are you ready for today” he asked glancing my way before taking his attention to the road as we headed down the street.

“Yeah, it will be a breeze” I let out not believing a single word I had just said. Something in my mind was nagging at me, I couldn’t figure out what it was, but my entire body was on high alert for whatever my inner mind was warning me of. It wasn’t necessarily a bad feeling just an unknown feeling, you know?.

“That’s the spirits” he chuckled, and we fell into an easy conversation for the whole ten-minute drive to school. I had learnt that he was an only child, he was born and raised in Samsonville and his hobbies consist of hanging out with his friends who according to him are trouble as well as playing sports specifically football as that’s his forte.

I took in a deep breath as I absorbed my surroundings. I had imagined the school car park to be filled with flashy cars like in the American movies, but the car park had a variety of trucks and cars. Most rustic and covered in mud whilst a few others where new and sparkly.

I followed after Lucas and climbed out of the car, hooking my backpack across my right shoulder. Everyone was looking at me and I am not just exaggerating, I mean everyone had their eyes on me and not a single person tried to hide that fact.

“Relax sweetheart, there looking at me” Lucas tried to soothe as he rounded his car to stand beside me.

“Is that so, I could have sworn those curious gazes where only for me” I smiled up at his playful grin.

“Nah, it’s all me baby your looking at the star player of the football team” he swung his arm around my shoulder and began guiding us toward the front entrance.

It was nice to have Lucas with me right now because my god did he make this shit easier for me. he was talkative, he kept my mind too busy to worry about the many eyes on me or my nerves but that nagging feeling I had been feeling all morning was growing more intense by the second, I just can’t seem to shake it off.

Mavericks pov-

My wolf was fidgety today, he was having an off couple of days this past weekend. Something was setting him off I just couldn’t pin point what that thing was. Maybe he needed a run, I let him out enough but I guess he has more energy to burn lately than usual.

I climbed out of the truck inhaling deeply as a beautiful scent enveloped me, my wolf perking up inside of me. It was intoxicating in the most addictive way possible.

“Do you guys smell that?” I asked my eyes grazing across the parking lot in search of the sweet smell that drowned me. My skin tingled and my blood rushed through my veins with each inhale of the scent.

“Smells like strawberries”

“No more like jasmine flower”

“Jasmine flower and a tint of strawberries” I whispered, my eyes locking on to the brunette beauty walking side by side with Lucas Wilden. It was her scent I was smelling, she was the jasmine flower beauty. A shiver sailed through me, a euphoric feeling washing over me at just one look at her.

“it’s her” I exclaimed, my eyes drinking in her entire body, she was absolutely mesmerising the perfect picture to paint on a canvas.

“Her who?” Carson asked.

“You mean it’s her, her?” the guys grew intrigued. We had heard the legends of how each wolf was destined to be one with another soul. But we had never seen nor experienced anything of the sort first hand. Everything we knew of mates was from research father Kingsley had found.

“Where?” Axel asked

“Her with Lucas?” Carson questioned

“she’s human?” Levi announces uncertainty and be wilderness in his tone.

She was human. I, well all of us had assumed our other half would be like us, a shifter, a werewolf.

“you sure?” Levi asked, his question didn’t even need a response because I was a million, billion, no a trillion percent certain that she was my other half.

What was her name? I need her name. I have to know her name. I watched her laugh with that wheezle, his hand sliding from her shoulder and down to her lower back. My wolf growled at the action, my chest rumbling with his furry.

“shit” my brothers let out in sink before Levi’s face appeared in front of mine, my arms held by the grips of I’m assuming Axel and Carson.

I was losing it, he was touching her, she was smiling at him.

“Maverick, get your shit together bro” Levi warned, his eyes glowing quickly before returning to their normal human colour. A silent indication that mine where on full display for everyone in this damn parking lot to see.

I blinked my eyes shut, forcing my wolf down. not the place, Not the time I mentally scolded him.

My heartbeat slowly but successfully returning to the average heart rate of a human.

“Maybe you should take the day off, until your wolf calms down” Levi suggested.

I shook myself out of my brothers hold “I’m fine. I can handle my wolf” I defended, my eyes trailing in the direction her scent had gone too.  I was the only one out of the four of us to have ever found their mate. I thought you had to have interaction with your other half before the zing or I don’t the realisation sets in that the person was indeed your other half. I was confused it took only one smell, one look of her before I knew.

“I have a mate! A human mate” I breathed out almost in disbelief that I had found her.

“Lucky bastard” Axel remarked, and I couldn’t hold the grin from my lips as my brothers patted my shoulders while they congratulated me.
