#Chapter28The ride to school was quiet, besides the radio playing. Normally, we found random things to talk about during the ride but for the first time, I had nothing to say. I guess my mom understood because she gave me the space I needed. "Okay, I will see you later." My mom said as we pulled up in front of the building."Okay, see ya." I stepped out of the car, focusing on the one place I did not want to be today, school.I walked into the building, trying to avoid any eye contact with anyone. Some people seemed to walk right pass me, going about their day. But some seemed like they were staring at me but I just think it’s all in my head.I headed toward my locker, dreading the idea of confronting Kiera and Keisha who might be waiting for me there. "Oh." I whispered to myself. Keira and Keisha were nowhere in sight, and it was weird because they were always here. I blew out a sigh a relief which soon turned to minor disappointment.I opened my locker and pul
#Chapter29I screamed as I extended my hand with my finger on the button. I could hear the electricity from my taser before my hand was slapped away."Are you fucking crazy?" I heard a girl’s voice before I opened my eyes. "Keira!" I flew into her, wrapping my arms around her waist."Um, hi." She chuckled."Oh my god I thought you were some crazy, red eyed vampire. " I released her as I sat down on my bed, dropping my head in to my hands while I struggled to catch my breath. Then it hit me again. Kiera. My eyes locked onto hers as I stood to my feet. She stood there; her face softened as she watched me. It should scare me, right? Who can I call for the likes of her? Animal control?"I need something to drink!" Was all I could say. I motioned passed her and ran downstairs to the kitchen with her not too far behind. I opened the refrigerator, snatching up a bottle of water. I cracked it open and guzzled it until it forced me to stop to catch
#Chapter30KEIRA__Things were very unsettling within our tribe. We were uncertain without the strength off our Alpha, who revealed to us how strained he was without the presence of his mate. Our future Luna. Keisha and I agreed to return to school. Even though we were not sure how Aniyah felt about the entire ordeal, we still made sure to keep our presence known to her. Friday morning, Keisha and I stood by Aniyah's locker, waiting for her to get to school like we usually did."So, how are you feeling?" I asked Aniyah as she walked up to us."Never better." She lied. I was certain she felt the same as not only our pack, but brother as well. "Good." I said. She turned around to smile but I could see the struggle behind it.***********************Once our first few classes were out of the way, it was lunch time. Keisha and I made it to lunch before Aniyah did so we could get a good booth. Away from everyone else.The smell of Aniyah filled my nose, al
#Chapter31Curled up in bed, I listened to the rain drummed against my window. It’s supposed to rain all weekend and in to the next. It was putting a damper in to things.The night was still young and here I was, stretched out under my sheets watching re-runs of cartoons. My thoughts began trailing off to Jason, wandering back and forth from hating to wanting him. Ugh.The frustration was overwhelming, and I needed to get out. I picked up my phone and called Keira and Keisha, suggesting that we go out. I needed to do something. Anything.They agreed and told me they would be by to pick me up in about an hour.I slipped on a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and some sneakers. After about an hour of waiting, Kiera and Keisha pulled up as promised. "So, where too?" Keira asked as I hopped into the back seat.I shrugged my shoulders, unsure of where to go. As long as I got out of the house, I did not care."Hm, how about a movie?" Keira asked."Not in the mood
#Chapter32JASON__Things were becoming hectic in the pack house. Everyone believed it was best to stay away from me, and I do not blame them.I can admit, my temper has been through the roof and I have probably been putting everyone through hell.But the pain in me could not subside knowing she was not here. Her scent has completely vanished from the house and now everything felt empty. I spent most of my days in my room or in my office, thinking about the 'what if' questions. What if she hates me? What if she never come back? What if she rejects me? What if she does not want the title of my Luna, my mate? What if she finds someone else?The questions always angered me. I even had holes in the walls to prove it.I just wanted to see her again. Inhale and drown in her scent that mellowed out my wolf's temper.I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling for minutes, which quickly turned to hours before someone knocked at my bedroom door. “What?” I snapped
#Chapter33JASON __This entire week has been going by slow. Maybe because I was anticipating this weekend. I had something planed for Aniyah. I haven’t came in contact with my mate in over a month so I was very eager. I put everything in Keisha's hand so I was hoping she would not let me down. She never told me where or what we would be doing. She only told me she would text me the location once I get Aniyah."Shit." I snapped. I was trying to adjust my tie while the guys just watched."So, you mean to tell me, none of you dip shits know how to tie a tie properly?" I asked once again.AJ and Brent looked at each other while Aaron turned away."Forget it.""Dude relax, she doesn't care about your suit or tie." Aaron placed his hand on to my shoulder."She only cares that a wild animal is sitting across from her." A.J added."Fuck you." I snapped."Hey Jason, Keira and Aniyah are on their way back to Aniyah's house." Brent confirmed."Perfect." I p
#Chapter34ANIYAH_I walked toward the steps to go up to my room. I looked back, watching as eyes analyzed me from head to toe. Strange that I found myself excited about it. I ran up to my room and stripped, running straight for the bathroom. I hopped straight into the shower. I was running on limited time. Bathe. Brush your teeth. Shave. Don’t forget that deodorant. Cycling through my closet, I found the perfect dress to wear tonight. That elegant and flattering black dress that catered to my curves. Backless and fitted. Knee length and smooth. That even wear that paired perfect with my gold heels and jewelry. A splash of makeup and a sleek bun that I mastered in a just a few minutes, I was ready to go. Standing in front of the mirror, I was nervous to walk down the stairs. I wasn’t sure which reaction I would receive from him. I also wasn’t sure how my body would react being near him again. What’s wrong with me?I shook off my thoughts and grabbed
#Chapter35He stopped talking and stared at me, waiting for my reaction. I was still speechless, wrestling with the information he had just given to me."Okay." I took a deep breath. "So what’s a Luna?"He sighed. I was sure this topic was one to be discussed. "A Luna is the Alpha's mate, a soul mate. We know when we find our mates.""So, Keira and Aaron?""Yes." He confirmed.Something I remembered rushed to my head."The day after the party, when I met you, I overheard you tell Keira that someone was your mate. Me?”He nodded. "Yes."My body tensed up as my heart rate picked up."So I’m supposed to be your Luna?""Yes." He shifted his eyes out toward the ocean. "If that’s not what you want, you are free to say otherwise.”The day he told me to reject him popped in my head. That is why he looked so nervous?"I never said I didn't want you, Jason."He looked at me. A moment had passed before a trickle of rain tapped the tip of my nose.
