The Unclaimed Mate Eight
Athena Alex, Caleb, and I sat together in the dining hall, listening to Mia rant about how they didn't cut the music group, which I found very absurd. We sat around a circular wooden table with attached benches, and the hall was streaming with hungry students and impatient servers at the counter. "Mia, please try to eat something. We'll figure this out after lunch," I said, gently pushing Mia's abandoned food tray closer to her, knowing that she had an ulcer, which was aggravated by not eating."I'm not fucking hungry," she fired off, pouring out her frustrations on me. I didn't want to provoke her, so I let it go and listened to her go on and on in her rants, her hands occasionally pounding the table in frustration.“I'm so frustrated with this school. It's unbelievable that teachers and so-called adults are allowing students to dictate what happens. Who could have possibly removed my name and Alex's name from the list? I tried to discuss this with the teacher, but she just provide
The Unclaimed Mate Nine
NineCameronThe plan to frustrate Athena worked, and I was glad I wasn’t the only one who was offended. She had no idea what she was doing to me and how I couldn’t focus anymore because I kept thinking of a thousand reasons why she wouldn’t want the bond, and why her damn wolf couldn’t connect with her.Even though I didn’t mean to cause her stress, I just had to do things the tough way. Every time we met in class, she'd act like I was poisonous and would stay very far away from me.We didn’t have many classes in common, which kind of sucked because I'd been looking for opportunities to be by her side.The days passed, and from the bits of information I gathered from my cronies, they didn’t seem to know much about her. She had a mysterious vibe that drew me in. She never tried to fit in or suck up to the queen bees like many wannabes did. It seemed like she enjoyed her own company, which was quite admirable because she didn’t seem like a pushover.I was heading upstairs from the prin
The Unclaimed Mate Ten
Athena Mia's voice pierced through my sleep. "Wake up, you lazy bum!" She stood over me and shook me gently but firmly. On the other hand, she held a cup of ice-cold water and threatened to spill it onto my face.That didn't work. She plopped down on my bed and started bouncing up and down, her weight causing the bed to shake and jiggle. I groaned loudly. When I finally opened my eyes, I was met with the sight of Mia fully dressed in her school uniform, ready to take on the day."Even someone like me, who was out partying last night, still managed to wake up early and get dressed. What's your excuse for still being asleep at this hour?" Mia said. "Leave me alone. What time is it?" "It's 7:15, and you've got 10 minutes to get moving before the matrons come to lock up.""Oh shit!" I jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom. There was no hot water, and it was cold outside. I couldn't afford to wait for it to heat up.I dropped my pink towel in the sink and summoned the courage
The Unclaimed Mate Eleven
AthenaEvery student must join a compulsory club, and since I already loved chemistry, I decided to join the chemistry club, which mainly consisted of nerds.They looked quite skeptical, as my physical appearance didn’t resemble that of a nerd, especially with the highlights in my hair.“It’s always a breath of fresh air when new students succeed or join us. Most students dread chemistry,” the club president, a pleasant-looking girl, said to me. I'd seen her several times trying to be a pick-me to Jennifer. The teacher, who introduced herself as Vera, agreed with the club president and welcomed me warmly. Since Mia was kicked out of the music club, she decided to join cheerleading for just one reason, which irritated me. She wanted us to be together, but I blatantly refused. Why would I want to shoot myself in the foot by watching Cameron run around all sweaty and playing soccer with his bimbo cheerleaders cheering him on? Jennifer was even their president and that alone was a red
The Unclaimed Mate Twelve
Cameron I watched Athena leave, and with every trace of excitement, I felt drained like water from spaghetti. I was doing everything I knew to make her see reason with me, but she didn’t even care about me.My mood was ruined by her blatant refusal, which made me think about forcing a bond by marking her. I couldn’t do that, though. Even though I was desperate to retain my father’s legacy, Athena was my mate, and I wanted a natural bond to form between us.The question was, how long could I wait? Fabian and Michael joined me, and after they noticed my sour mood, they were careful about what to say."Perhaps you should make yourself more likable to her; this bullying stuff might not be working. She seems tough as nails."Michael could be right. Perhaps it was time to channel more energy into winning her over. We headed to the soccer field as usual, and the cheerleaders joined us. They usually came once a week, and I wasn’t looking forward to it because of Jennifer, their leader. She
The Unclaimed Mate Thirteen
AthenaThe jealousy in my heart could not be contained, and I almost felt like exploding. I knew that I was being petty and was consciously encouraging myself to bother about Cameron, but I couldn’t help myself.The new guy, Ivan, sat beside me, and I was extremely happy that he was a hybrid. I knew immediately that he had something I did the moment our eyes met, and he made things easier by introducing himself as a hybrid. I was glad that, finally, I was getting to meet someone like me who understood all my struggles and could relate to them all.Seeing Cameron and Mia sitting opposite us just made me feel pissed off.“Are you okay?” Ivan, who immediately noticed the switch in my mood, asked, and I could only manage a nod.He tried to continue talking about other stuff, as we couldn’t talk about having witch blood in public, but the energy wasn’t the same as before Cameron came to the class.“Do you have a thing for him?” Ivan asked out of the blue, and I swallowed hard before turnin
The Unclaimed Mate Fourteen
AthenaIvan begged me, just as Caleb used to beg me at home to take him on my midnight magic encounters.I would've said no, but I agreed because I needed a distraction from thinking about Mia, and I didn’t want to be around when she got back from the date and make things even more awkward. Secondly, Ivan had sworn on his life that he found a secluded valley where no one would ever catch us. And I kind of missed spinning magic- it always helped with my mood swings."Fine, I’ll meet you at the general quadrangle," I told him. I grabbed the things I needed, tossed them into my bag, and grabbed my cloak.Ivan was waiting for me with a broad grin. His long blonde hair cascaded down his back, giving him a Scandinavian look."Your Royal Highness," he bowed playfully. "I can’t wait to learn at your feet.""Let’s go, silly," I laughed. "I hope I don’t regret this."Hand in hand, we headed to the valley, and I gasped in awe at the breathtaking setting."How did you even find this place? It lo
The Unclaimed Mate Fifteen
Cameron "Guys, I can’t stand him near her," I complained to Fabian and Michael. "He’s always with her. Do you see the way he looks at her? Why the hell does she even tolerate him? She won't even talk to me, and to make matters worse, he’s in my fucking dorm, so I have to see him every damn morning.""Relax," Michael laughed, which even got me angrier. That Ivan dude was so infuriating —he wasn’t afraid of me or my threats and showed that I wasn't intimidating him."How can I relax when someone’s taking what belongs to me? Things would be worse if my dad found out that I have found my mate.' If he and the other government council discover this, Athena and her family will have no choice but to accept the bond. But I’ve been trying to be patient to get her to like me, and she doesn’t even want to stand near me.""I have a theory," Fabian said and took off his shoes. His socks reeked, making Michael scrunch up his nose, but my pet peeves seemed insignificant compared to the anger I felt.
