Chapter five

Elias’ pov

Ugh of all the times Jade would stay at the packhouse it had to be now. There were a lot of special wolves with their families coming for one of my mother’s conferences. My father had told all the special wolves they were welcome to join our pack, but some really liked their own pack. So once every few years they would all meet up and train together, talk and share news. Uncle Logan, our Beta and his mate Maria had been finding anyone who had worked for my grandmother, to make sure the special wolves weren’t in danger. They had been travelling a lot in the beginning, but I think it had been good for them. When they came back Maria was pregnant with her first child. He was 8 years old now and best friends with uncle Kenzo and aunt Keva’s son. It seemed like there was no danger to special wolves now, but my mother still wouldn’t let me leave the pack until I had shifted for the first time. My mother looked forward to the conference each time, it made her feel normal to be surrounded by other special wolves. I would be part of that group too, but right now I was just a guy staying on the same floor with a girl that hates his guts. I could hear her door open and close and footsteps heading down. I guess she was getting something to eat. I decided to take a shower, there was one attached to my room. I had taken my mom’s old room and Briana had my old room. They had redecorated, but kept the bunkbed. We had shared a bathroom, which was great when we were younger. Briana used to sneak through the bathroom to climb into my bed when she couldn’t sleep. But now that we were both older it was getting weird. So they made the big bathroom into two smaller bathrooms, with a shower and a toilet each. It wasn’t as nice or big as before, but at least we both had our privacy. I stepped into the shower thinking about Jade, why did she hate me that much? Then I started thinking about her scent and how good it looked when she was working out, how pretty she was even when she looked at me with hate. My body reacted immediately to her and I looked down. Down boy,  I thought. You have more chance with Zoey than Jade and Zoey doesn’t even like boys. I turned the water colder, trying to think of something else. I gave up and got out of the shower, put on a towel and walked towards my room. I grabbed some clothes and threw my towel in the hamper when suddenly my door opened. I was standing there naked with a surprised Jade before me. ‘This is not my room’, she said as she slowly closed the door. I was so shocked I hadn’t even tried to cover myself I now realized, just standing there in my birthday suit like some fool. At least I finally didn’t have to deal with my erection anymore, he went down as soon as Jade closed the door. I got dressed and went to Jade’s room. I had to apologize, she already hated me and then she saw me naked on her first night here. I knocked on her door and she opened. This was the first time she had looked at me with anything but hate. Right now she just looked embarrassed. ‘I am so sorry’, I said. ‘All the doors look alike, we should number them or something’. She walked into the room leaving her door open as if she was inviting me in. She didn’t say anything, but looked like she was thinking. I waited for her to say anything, but she just stood there staring out of her window. ‘Okay, then. Sorry again. I’ll leave now…’ I said, not sure what to make of her behavior. She turned to face me ‘whatever’, she said looking angry again. This time I was done with her anger ‘what the hell have I done to you? I just met you and I really am trying, but you seem to hate me for no reason’. She walked towards me, standing close and looking at me with disgust. She started to shout ‘o I have a reason! Your mere existence is enough to hate me. You have caused me so much pain!’. I was totally confused now ‘what pain?’ I asked if gently. She just stared at me, looking at my mouth before she suddenly kissed me passionately. I was shocked, but her kiss was like no other. She had the softest lips and I could smell her all around me. I pulled her closer, which made her gasp. When she opened her mouth I slowly moved my tongue in hers, she first seemed surprised but them moved her own tongue against my own. As sudden as the kiss started it ended when Jade stopped and pushed me away. ‘Leave me alone ‘, she said and pointed towards her door. I left her room stunned and walked towards mine, still in a daze. Why did she kiss me?, I thought. I mean I wasn't complaining, that kiss was the best kiss I ever had. It had felt like fireworks were starting at our mouths and slowly working through my whole body, leaving me a tingly and confused mess. But a thought kept nagging at me. What had she meant by saying I had caused her pain?
