"You're so embarrasing." I mumbled into his chest. My face was burning red. Jacob, being Jacob decided to sing me happy birthday in the middle of our school's front quad.
"But you love me." He laughed hugging me tighter against his body. I scoffed and pushed him away from me. "Don't be so sure about that." I huffed quickly walking to my locker. "Ariana you love me. Don't kid yourself." Jacob smirked leaning against the lockers as I grabbed my English textbook.
"Doesn't mean I like you." I grinned slamming my locker shut. He pouted at me and crossed his arms over his chest. "And here I was going to give you java chip ice cream. That I happen to have in my locker, but you don't like me." He sniffed wiping away an invisible tear. "I want Java!" I squealed slapping his chest. "Ouch! Chill out Shorty." He laughed making me pout.
He walked a couple lockers down and opened his. Pulling out a small container of Starbucks delicious java chip ice cream. "I love you!" I screamed snatching the container of slowly melting ice cream and the plastic spoon from his hand. Ripping off the lid I took a big spoonful of ice cream and shoved it in my mouth. "Mmmm" I moaned throwing my head back.
"And she wonders why she doesn't have a boyfriend." Jacob muttered under his breath. But me being a wolf I heard everything clearly. "I don't need a boyfriend when I have this smexy thing." I smirked pointing at my ice cream before taking another spoonful.
"Geez Ariana, eating ice cream in the morning." I stiffened and slowly turned around to face a laughing Sarah, accompanied by her goons. Sarah was the strongest she-wolf in our pack. She was also untouchable since she was Caleb-our soon to be Alpha's- girlfriend.
"I don't think you need the carbs honey. I mean look at your thighs! They're like, huge!" She yelled pointing at my thighs. Everybody around her snickered or laughed. I quirked my eyebrow and looked down at my thighs. They looked okay to me.
"How about you get the hell out of here Sarah. Nobody wants you here." Jacob growled glaring at her. She narrowed her eyes at him and stepped forward. "I can have you kicked out of the pack Jacob don't forget that." She hissed. "You might be boning the future Alpha. But don't forget I'm his bestfriend and I'm his beta." He smirked at a red faced Sarah. She growled again before turning on her heel and stomping away.
"You didn't have to do that. I don't mind the she-devil anymore." I frowned staring up at my pissed off bestfriend. "Happy birthday." He winked throwing his arms around my shoulder. I laughed and stuck another spoonful of ice cream in my mouth. "I'm in ice cream heaven." I sighed smiling. Jacob laughed and tugged me along to English.
By the time Lunch started I was exhausted. Class after class I had to endure teachers wishing me a happy birthday and the class calling me a teachers pet. To make things worse most of the pack came to this school and now they knew I turned sixteen. The mating age.
"I feel bad for whoever her mate is." A girl laughed passing me by. I frowned and kept walking until I reached the large willow tree that was far from the cafeteria. Meaning it was far from the pack. "You look upset." I opened my left eye and saw Jacob frowning.
"Have you heard." I sighed closing my eye again. He shook his head and flopped down next to me. "Everybody's taking about my mate. How sorry they feel for him. How he's going to end up with the weakling. How pathetic he's going to feel." My chin quivered and I bit my bottom lip to keep in the sob that was building up.
"Maybe I don't have a mate. That would be a good thing. I don't deserve a mate." I whimpered. "Ariana! Don't ever say that!" Jacob growled putting me into his chest. His arms wrapped around my waist. He pulled me into his lap and rubbed my hip. "Whoever ends up being your mate is going to be one hell of a lucky wolf." He growled.
~*~
"I'm not going." I growled once more. "Come on! Please! I'll go with you." Mariah, my sister, begged again throwing her puppy eyes at me. "Riri don't do that." I groaned covering my eyes. "Are you going to make me go all by myself." She sniffled. I groaned "fine I'll go." I frowned making her squeal and throw her arms around me.
Half an hour later I was dressed in a pair burgundy skinny jeans with a black tank that had a studded cross. I had a pair of black wedges and my hair was down in natural waves to the middle of my back. My eye make up was dark making my hazel-green eyes stand out. "Damn shorty you look hot." I jumped and turned to face Jacob.
"You scared me!" I yelled putting my had on my racing heart. "No really." He scoffed. I grabbed my brush and threw it at his chest. "Ass" I muttered grabbing my phone before walking out the door passing a chuckling Jacob.
"Yay! You look hot!" Riri yelled making my dad turn around. Before I could respond he way in front of me. "You're going!" My mom squealed pushing my dad. Jacob stiffled his laugh from behind me when he saw my dad fall on his ass.
"Yes ma." I sighed pulling on my bracelet Jacob got me when I was ten. "Oh! Stay out as long as you want baby!" She grinned shushing my dad before he could say anything. "Hurry off now." She giggled shooing us out the door. "Daddy." I whined. "Have fun." He murmured narrowing his eyes at mom. Traitor !
"Let's go party!" Riri yelled throwing her hands up. Jacob whooped before grabbing me from around my waist and throwing me up in the air. "Jacob!" I squeaked before he caught me. "You asshoe!" I yelled punching his chest. "Calm down Aria. I wasn't going to let you fall. You know I'll always be there to catch you." He winked. "Cheese Slut." I muttered. I could feel my cheeks heat up.
"Are you sure you two aren't mates." Riri asked smiling in front of us. "Keep walking Mariah." Jacob groaned putting me down. I straightened out my shirt and fell into step with Riri.
Five minutes later we reached the pack house. People from ages sixteen through twenty five were everywhere. Red cups probably filled with Wolfsbane-not the poison- and smoke from the east side of the house. Probably the wolf weed.
"I don't belong here." I frowned once we walked inside. People were grinding, dry humping or full on making out in the middle of the floor. "Drink." Riri groaned handing me a cup with a purple drink. "Is this -wolfsbane yes." Jacob grinned interrupting me. "I can't." I shook my head handing the drink back to Riri . "Of course she wouldn't. She's such a prude." Sarah laughed popping up from behind me.
"At least she isn't boning half of the pack." Riri growled stepping in front of me. "Back off Mariah." Sarah growled stepping closer. "Hey! Stop it." I yelled. I grabbed Mariah and Jacobs wrist pulling them onto the dance floor.
The lights dimmed down and the strobe lights came on. The music blared from the speakers shaking the floor. "Welcome to my house! Party, drink, Fuck around. Have fun!" A deep voice yelled sending shivers down my body. I turned and my eyes fell on a beautiful man. He stood proud at 6'2. Dark short wavy brown hair, piercing blue green eyes. My wolf stirred inside me at the sight of him.
I frowned and started at him. He looked familiar.
'Mate' My wolf howled in delight willing my body to go to him. I smiled as I realised I found my mate! "Babe!" My head snapped to the familiar blonde haired beauty running up to my mate. Throwing her arms around his neck. Pulling his lips down to meet hers. My wolf howled in anger and pain as we saw our mate wrap his arms around her and pull her tight against his chest.
Oh god. My eyes widened as I recognized him. Caleb Felix. Future Alpha. I tore my gaze away, my heart thumping painfully against my chest. I quickly grabbed ahold of Jacobs drink and chugged it down. "Whoa! Aria that was three shots of bane." He yelled staring at me wide eyed. "I want to dance." I slurred gripping his wrist and pulling him deeper into the dance floor.
Half an hour later and five bane shots later I was gone. My heart still thumped against my chest but I ignored it and focused on the beat of the music. It ran up my body making me shiver in delight. My hands went above my head and latched onto the guys neck whom I was currently dancing with.
I lost Riri and Jacob and I didn't plan on finding them anytime soon. His arms wrapped around my waist crushing my bottom against his strained pants. I moaned out in pleasure at the same time he growled lowly in my ear making my wolf purr.
He whispered something into my ear before leading me upstairs. Flashes of clothes ripping off our bodies. His lips sucking on my neck, kisses down the valley of my breast. Moans of pleasure rushing out of my mouth as he groaned. "Aria." He moaned sending my body into a frenzy. "Caleb." I moaned throwing my head back as he thrusted into me. After that everything went black.
I'm going to puke. Please go away puke, go away. I cringed as it came up then it down. I sighed in relief and moved onto my side, feeling the silky sheets caressing my sore body. Oh god, my sheets smelled like sex. My eyes snapped open. I squeaked and held the sheets tight against my chest as I saw the familiar brown haired, blue eyed beauty. Who was frozen in his attempt to quietly pull on his jeans. 'Mate' my wolf purred sending flashes of last night. Moans, groans, sucking, biting, and to my horror marking. My eyes widened as I felt around my neck. No! "You marked me?" I whispered. He snapped out of it and rushed to my side. I held the sheet tighter against my body as I saw a flash of lust in his eyes. "Fuck! Fucken wolf!" He growled kicking the bed side table. His breath becoming ragged as he turned away from me. "Calm down. I'm not mad." I quickly said instinctively rubbing his shoulders.A couple seconds later his breath became normal. My wolf was ecstatic that she calmed the
"No Shifting. No bane. No fighting. No stress." I nodded and sat up smiling at Doc Jackson. "Got it." I said smiling. "Miss Belle may I speak to you, alone." He added glancing over at Jacob. "Uh, yeah sure." I replied glancing over to Jacob. He rolled his eyes but walked out the door. "Those pups aren't his are they." My eyes widened. "Those are the Alpha Calebs." He stated crossing his arms over his chest. "They are not his. These pups are mine. And mine only." I growled wrapping my arms around my waist. "Ariana." He sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "Those pups have Alpha blood in them." I could feel the blood drain from my face. He's going to tell Caleb! Oh God! What if he takes my babies! "Please don't tell him!" I pleaded. Tears stinging the back of my eyes as I gazed up at the doctor. "I'm not." He smiled softly. "What?" I asked stunned. "That boy. He... he isn't mature enough to be a father yet. He would do something he would regret." He sighed. "Did he mark you?" He
5 Years Later ~ "Jacob we'll be okay." I sighed for the hundredth time. "Ariana, you guys need to be careful. Please babe." He pleaded. I groaned and slammed my suitcase close. "Jacob I'll see you soon." I laughed before hanging up. I threw my cell onto my bed before jumping into the shower. I quickly washed my hair and body before stepping out. I wrapped my blue robe around my body before stepping out. I pulled on my black bra and matching panties before stepping out into the long hall.I walked into the yellow painted door and smiled. My little angels were running around the room pulling on their clothes. "Need help?" I smiled walking further into the room. "Mommy! I can't tie this!" Joey frowned pointing at his black vans. "Aria, you're so loud." Quin groaned stepping into the room. Quin was my bestfriend and roommate. After my parents got remarried for their 25th anniversary I decided my Angels and I had to move. Of course my parents refused and left Jackson's loft to me. It g
"Mommy! His name is Wolfie not Caleb!" Zoey giggled breaking me out of my daze. "Zoe baby, please get off of Ca-Wolfie." I pleaded glancing back at Quin who had a firm hold on Joey. Joey was glaring daggers at Caleb. He always knew when there was danger around or when I was uneasy, he was such a mommas boy. "Joey go inside with Quin." I demanded as Caleb's wolf form stepped forward growling at me. "No!" He yelled breaking out of Quin's hold and ran to stand in front of me. "Joey!" I hissed grabbing onto his arm. "Listen here Wolfie-" he growled "you don't growl at my mommy! My sister likes you but I don't!" I gasped and pulled him into my chest as Caleb let out a weird noise. "Mommy Wolfie didn't mean it." Zoey pouted. "Zoe get off of him." Joey demanded. His Alpha blood was starting to show up. "Fine!" Zoe frowned as Caleb lowered himself so she could slide off. He licked her cheek making her laugh before standing up to his intimidating height. "You guys go on in with everyone.
"I...I..I'll have to think about it." I muttured looking away from his sky blue eyes. I heard him sigh and walk away. "You're leaving?" I whispered narrowing my eyes on his back. I cringed hearing myself, so weak. "My wolf.. he's.. I have to leave." He sighed walking back to me. "Please." He whispered kissing my forehead before walking out of my front door. I frowned and slowly walked to my front door locking it. 'Why did you do that! ' my wolf growled making me cringe. 'We need to make sure he wont hurt our pups' I growled back.She growled lowly but submitted. She knew our pups were more important than our mate."Mommy." I turned away from the door to my twins standing in the hall in their pjs. "He made you cry." Joey growled narrowing his eyes on my own. Instictively my hand wiped away the unknown tears. "He would never make mommy cry! He's mommies prince! Right mommy?" Zoey grinned. I smiled and walked to my babies. "Why are you two awake?" I asked narrowing my eyes on the
"Papa Jackson!" Zoey squealed as she found him walking around the pack house in his sweats eating a pop tart. "Zoey Joey!" He grinned stuffing the rest of the pop tart into his mouth. I giggled and watched as the twins rushed to him and attacked his legs. "Hey Jackson." I smiled walking up to him and kissing his cheek. "Hello sweetheart. How did you guys like the house?" He asked picking up the twins into his arms. "We loved it." I grinned as the twins immediatly started gushing about their rooms. "Peanuts!" Mariah's voice squealed coming across the room. As soon as their feet were on the ground they rushed to her. "How was Caleb." Jackson whispered. I bit my lip and looked out the window. There he was talking to another pack member. Gosh he was so beautiful. "Aria?" Jackson laughed making me jump in suprise. "I'm guessing everything's okay now." He chuckled making me blush. "I'm seeing if it'll work out." I muttured staring at my feet. "Ariana!" I turned towards the front door
"Ari baby please just ... please call me. I lo-" I pulled the phone away from my ear and pressed the end button, ending the voicemail. "Another call?" My eyes snapped up and met the familiar pair of blue eyes. "Yeah." I whispered staring at the phone in my hand. "What am I supposed to do Jake?" I cried shutting my eyes as tears fell from my eyes. "Oh Ari." He sighed laying next to me on my bed. He pulled my body close to his and ran his fingers through my hair. "Where are the twins?" I asked quickly sitting up. Yesterday I picked them up and brought them back home. They never asked what happened. Its like they could feel it. We laid in bed and watched movies and pigged out on ice cream. After that we decided to sleep. It broke my heart when Zoey cried silently when she thought I fell asleep. My worst fear came true. Caleb hurt my baby. "Quin took them to see the other pack kids." Jake said pulling me back into his arms. I sighed in content as his fingers ran down my back. I bit my
One week. Seven days. One hundred and sixty eight hours... since I've heard from both Caleb and Jacob. Every time I take the twins to see Jackson, Caleb's gone with ... with Sarah. Sarah from highschool. Sarah his girlfriend of seven years. Sarah his fiancee, the future Luna of the Crimson Pack. And Jacob. He's been ignoring me. He doesn't answer my text or calls and he's never at his house. And I feel completely lost without him. He's my anchor when I feel lost, and now he's not here. "Mommy! Hurry we're going to be late!" Joey yelled snapping me out of my depressing thoughts. I quickly threw my hair up in a bun and ran out to the livingroom where Joey was in his Baseball uniform looking incredibly handsome. Just like his father. I grinned down at him and grabbed his baseball cap from the kitchen counter and put it on his head. "You look dashing." I giggled. "Mooom." He groaned walking towards the door. "Wait! We need Zoey!" I gasped rushing to the yellow painted door. "Zoe?"
