The rest of the weekend and the start of the week were nothing special. It was kind of awkward running into Shawn and Tim in the halls. But we all knew it was just for fun with no strings attached. I wasn’t going to make it weird, as long as they didn’t.
Derek was still suspended I think and along with him Dustin had disappeared too. My guess was I had made it weird for him.
When Thursday rolled around I had bumped into Dustin in the hallway. We locked eyes, but we both went our separate ways without a single word to one another. I felt horribly guilty for saying what I said to him, and kind of seducing him. He probably also felt guilty for what he and I did and then going back to talk to Derek with a guilty conscience.
“So did you ever take up meditating or did you decide to try m**********g, which was my method?” Bentley asked Mar at the lunch table. He had grabbed 4 cheeseburgers today, citing he needed to ‘bulk up’ for football.
“Bent, I never even considered m**********g. And yes, I do meditate. I just can’t around you because you are too distracting.” She responded with sass.
Nicky smiled at that. He was scrolling through his phone and eating a burger with his arm around Mar.
“Yea, my good looks are often too distracting. Just ask Xannie boo boo.” He said, grabbing my foot in the chair next to him. I looked up from my own phone and rolled my eyes.
“Yes, Bentley. You’re so distracting. Just like a clown.” I stuck my tongue out at him. He raised his eyebrows and nodded his head in approval. Perv.
Pete came into the cafeteria late and sat with us, grabbing one of Bentley’s burgers.
“Hey! I need to-” Bentley tried to start.
“Shut up. Hey I just heard that members of another pack are starting here and that's going to include the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.”
“Which pack?” Nicky asked, sitting forward.
“Shadow Heights.” Pete said.
Mar and I groan.
“What? What am I missing?” Bentley asked. His mouth is full from him trying to eat his remaining burgers quickly before Pete takes another one.
“The Alpha is a perv. Worse than you.” I said, pointing at Bentley. “Thinks he’s hot s**t. His Beta hit on me at a party a couple years back and Nicky got into a fight with him. You remember that, right?” I asked looking at Nicky.
“Was that Shadow Heights? I thought that was Silver Heights. Hmm.” He said, thinking.
“Silver Heights isn’t around here. Wouldn’t have been them. Anyways, that means you need to stick close to us in case they pull some kind of s**t, perverted or not. Alphas don’t mix well with other Alphas.” Pete said pointing at me.
“Ok. And Gammas don’t mix well with other Gammas. Who is gonna protect you?” I asked, smiling.
“Come here, bud. And IIIIIIIII will ALWAYS looooove YOOOOUUUUU!” Bentley grabbed Pete in a headlock and tried singing in his horrible off key voice.
Pete elbowed him in the gut.
A couple of nearby tables laughed.
“When do they start?” Mar asked.
“Tomorrow.” Pete said.
“On a Friday?” Nicky asked.
“Yep.” Pete replied.
Things in my life just keep getting better. Thank you Moon Goddess for your wealth of luck you have bestowed upon me.
During Geometry I tried so hard to not make eye contact with Dustin, but it was hard. Pete didn’t see him as much of a threat, so it was much easier to pay attention to him. He would still check to make sure I wasn’t just staring at him, in which I would just smile up at Pete. But then I would look right back over at Dustin.
I thought about how his lips tasted and the way his breath caught in surprise when I touched him. The feel of his chest and how I came so close to letting him take my virginity. I could feel myself getting aroused.
Pete sniffed the air and looked around. I stared up at the teacher acting as if I was paying attention.
Oh Goddess, I have got to get out of this classroom.
I looked over at Dustin again and caught his eye. His cheeks flushed bright red again for probably the 20th time in this class already. I chewed on the top of my pencil. I looked over at Pete who was watching the teacher. I glanced back over to Dustin and he was still looking at me. I bit my lip and ran my pencil slowly down my chest and to my cleavage, finally flipping my hair to the side and running my hand down my breast. He froze, his eyes growing wide and his entire face turning the darkest shade of red I had ever seen. He put his head down on his desk so hard it made a thump and everyone in the class turned to look at him. I giggled and Pete turned to me, raising an eyebrow.
Ok, maybe I went too far. But my goddess. What is it about Dustin that lights me on fire like this? Not even my mate does this to me!
I decided to skip out on study period again and go to Bentley and Nicky’s football practice again. I sit in my usual spot, swinging my legs back and forth as I stare off into space. Thinking about the past weekend. It had been almost a week ago already but I still could not get my mind off things. Did doing those things make me a skank? I mean, I knew plenty of she-wolves who had done a lot more than that. And I was still technically a virgin.
“Well well well! Its our cheerleader!” Shawn said walking up to me, leaning on the bleachers next to my legs.
“Meh. I’ve never been the cheerleading type.” I say. One of his curls is knotted up with another, so I play with his hair to fix it.
“Getting attached to me already, I see, Alpha?” He smiles.
“How can I not? You’re just so irresistible.” I laugh. There's some yelling on the field so we both watch to see whats going on. He walks in front of me, putting my legs over his shoulders and holding them while he leans against the bleachers. I continue to mess with his hair.
“Bent has been a force to be reckoned with today. What the hells going on with him? Do you know?” He asks me, squeezing my calves.
“Its probably this whole Shadow Heights thing.” I say. I’m barely paying attention now. His curls have got me intrigued. They’re adorable.
He turns and looks at me stunned. “Shadow Heights?”
I look around almost surprised. I wasn’t paying attention and now I’m being asked about it.”Um yea. Pete heard some of the pack starts school here tomorrow or something. I don’t know. It may just be a rumor.” I put my arms on the railing and lay my head on them. I want him to put his head back so I can play with his curls.
“I’ll be right back, ok?” He says.
I roll my eyes in frustration. “Okie dokie.” I pull my bag behind me and lay back on it like a pillow.
After a couple minutes I start to doze off.
“So this is where you’ve been hiding from me?” I hear a familiar voice.
I try to open my eyes, but its too bright, so I blink until they adjust. Its Aaron. Ugh.
“f**k off, Aaron.” I close my eyes again.
“What? Come on Alpha. Just give me a few minutes to talk. Please?” He asks.
“No. Not interested.” I put my arm over my eyes now.
He leans over and grabs my arm. “Talk to me dammit. The least you can do is give me 5 minutes.”
“Ow, Aaron! What is your deal? Don’t grab me like that!” I punch his leg.
He’s getting mad now and I can see black flash in his eyes. He grabs my wrist and pulls me up hard. I feel a pop in my elbow and a searing pain shoot up my arm. I cry out in agony.
“You’re gonna talk to me, if I have to make you. I’ve been patient. I’ve watched you basically dry hump f*****g rogues in study hall. If you’re gonna be a slut, play the field evenly!” He grabs my other arm now and pulls me to my knees. I’m pissed and in pain now. I get up and start punching him with my good arm. Over and over.
“WHOA! WHOA! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!” I hear a voice from the football team. I hear running but I’m too busy punching Aaron. Aaron reaches up and grabs my bad arm, squeezing it. It caused me to scream in pain. I think he dislocated my elbow. He grabs my hair and pulls me to his face but before he can say anything he's pulled away from me. Between Bentley, Nicky, Shawn, Tim, and a couple other guys, Aaron is thrown over the bleacher railing and pummeled into the ground. He shifts and runs off, followed by a couple more guys.
Nicky walks over to me and tries to hug me but sees my elbow swollen and bruised.
“Lets get you to the hospital, ok?” He says. I nod my head.
Thankfully doc is able to pop it back in place and I heal within a few hours thanks to werewolf genes.
Now, onto tomorrow’s nightmare!
