I'm unexpectedly yours.

Chapter 38 (Part 4): Wolf things.

"Well, if this isn't fate, I don't know what is."

Skye's widened eyes almost rolled up at Jackson as he said those words. He had that annoying grin on his face that she really wanted to wiped off since they met on Nat Fest.

"You're here." She muttered, frowning at him. She noticed he was wearing a dark red track suit. Skye didn't need to ask, he's obviously one of the racer and she started to regret joining in. She's not sure if she'll ever focused on the race if he was here. He's a pest that she never wanted to see.

"I'm surprised you're here too." Jackson smirked. "Oh, and you're wearing a suit." He added and his gaze landed on her body, slowly checking her outfit from head to toe. Skye balled her first, a little uncomfortable from what he was doing. She wasn't naive to not noticed the hint of lust seen on his eyes. She felt disgusted.

She cleared her throat to get his attention back to her rather than focused on her body. "You are too." She said, as cold as she can.

"I joined the race. How about you?" The glee on his voice and the delight on his eyes never left despite of her indifference towards him. She didn't know if the guy was oblivious to it or he's just so stubborn. Maybe the latter one.

Skye crossed her arms. "Same as you." She said.

"Really?" He chuckled. "Wow, I'm so glad we had the same interest. Indeed you're not just only beauty but you also have skills. Same as me, that's interesting." he continued, saying the last sentence in a slow and deeper voice. He's trying to be seductive but Skye think it's so disgusting rather than sexy.

She sighed. She had enough of this. He was just wasting her time. "I'm sorry but I needed to go to the restroom."

She took a steps and walked away from him.

"Wait." He urgently said as she felt his glove covered hand grab her arm. She almost yelp on the tightness of his grip. But before she can glared at him and pulled her hand away, a cold, and stern voice interrupted them.

"Take your hand away from her." Violet said, her hand was already on Jackson's without her noticing it on the first place. How did she get so fast, Skye thought.

"Violet, you're here too." He smirked.

"Take your hand away from her." Violet repeated, each word was uttered with the fury Skye had only ever witnessed in her. If looks could kill, Jackson would've been dead by now under Violet's intense glare at him. She was honestly terrifying in this momen and Skye never said a word, afraid on the lioness beside her.

Jackson's face turned serious but he didn't take his eyes off her as she slowly let go of Skye's hand. Violet immediately pulled Skye and keep her behind her back never letting go of his hand.

"I'm guessing you're with her." Jackson said after a few seconds of silence. He put both of his hands on his suit's pocket before her continued. "I didn't know you were so close, close enough to compete with her. I just thought you knew each other. "

"Why?.Is there something wrong?" Violet asked, voice still cold.

"Nothing." Jackson's grin was back on his face again. He glanced at Skye for a moment before he faced Violet again. "It's just so unusual for you to be this close to someone else aside from your pack."

Skye's eyebrow perked up on his last word. And she felt Violet's hold on her tightened for a second.

"It's nothing unusual." Violet almost growled at him. She hated the way he looked at her mate. He obviously had a liking to Skye and Violet had a hard time concealing the anger she wanted to express because of it. She doesn't care if she gets into a fight with the soon to be Alpha of an another strong pack. What hers was only hers. And she'll do anything to guard her mate and keep her away from someone who wanted to steal her.

Skye was just silent all the time, witnessing the two shooting daggers at each other. She doesn't know how long they'll be like that. No one was backing down on their silent war.

"Hey , Jacks!" A voice of a man caught Skye's attention. But it didn't interrupt the staring contest in front of her.

A guy that has a same height as Skye, wearing a suit with the same color with Jackson, came towards them. He had a smirk on his face but it immediately gone when he saw the person that Jackson was talking to.

"V-violet." He stuttered.

Skye haven't had an idea if Violet knew the other guy because the brunette didn't say a word to him or called his name. She just silently walked away from them still holding Skye's hand.

Skye was unaware of the stares that Jackson was giving her as they walked away. But the fierce Alpha can feel it. And she put in her mind, that if he would take a move again like that to her mate, she wouldn't stop herself again. Let the monster in her loose.
