Blood Bound

CH2 Long day

After a quick trip on a nature path I ended up on the football field in the back of the school. I took a deep breath and started walking towards the back entrance.

The hair on the back o my neck stood up and a low growl came from my throat. "Whoa chill El " said a familiar voice. Smiling I turned around and saw Tristan . he was my best friend he use to be shorter than me now hes a whopping 6'2 to my 5'6 . "sorry Tristan I don't know where that came from".

"happy birthday El" he grinned and his dimples popped out and he ran a hand through his sandy blond hair which is normally tousled every which way. he hugged me tightly . "ugh u know I hate hugs" I said refusing to hug back

" are you wearing perfume" he dipped his head in the crevice of my neck and inhaled. "you smell good" I blushed and another growl creeped up my throat.

"hey back up pervert" I laughed lightly pushing him " wait are you saying I don't smell good everyday" looking at creasing my brow. I saw his eyes quickly shift from hazel to yellow then back . " whoa there wolf boy know the matting ceremony is soon, but keep it in your pants" mused. he shook his head as I laughed.

we headed towards the back entrance of the school and I grabbed the collar of my shirt and brought it up to my nose and sniffed it to see if I could smell anything and of course I didn't since I don't normally wear perfume. we were heading to our first class " I wish I didn't have to go, I'm not so stoked to get a mate " he said annoyed

I laughed " oh what I thought you would be happy since lisa finally shifted" he scrunched up his nose " nu uh, no way shes to.." he was trying to find the right words

"goodie-to-shoes" I said. I smiled as he shook his head. lisa was a 5'4 curly haired red head with brown eyes. she had a crush on Tristan though she would never say so. She was the type of person who would remind the teacher when he forgot to assign the homework.

lucky for her she just turned 18 making her eligible for the mating ceremony. the guys participate dafter there 16th birthday when they have had their first shift And females after their 18th birthday . Tristan got lucky last year when he turned 16 a week after the mating ceremony.

"hopefully no one fights for me, i'd rather not deny anyone in front of the pack." he sad looking at the floor. we walked into our history class and sat in the back like normal. Tristan was like me, a lone wolf, we didn't want a mate, even though we were told a mate is life if the moon goddess blesses you your lucky. The whole thing was sexist , First of all the girls (who have shifted) Ask the guy to accept them, if more than one female wants the same guy they fight until only one female is standing.

Then the male decides if he will claim her as his mate. I rolled my eyes thinking about it. BUT WAIT THEIRS MORE, as if it wasn't bad enough a male had the right to claim a female without her concent but if she doesn't want him as a mate she could fight for her "freedom" ,

not that any female wolf has ever beaten a fully trained male wolf.

A book slammed on my desk snapping my attention up to Mr. smith our history teacher. "Now that your done day dreaming" he cleared his throat "when did the French revolution end." A few students where snickering. I looked to Tristan who shrugged and mouthed 'sorry'

"well" Mr. smith said looking down at me.

A small voice piped up from the front of the class " November 9th 1799 with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte". annoyed mr smith headed towards the front of the class "thank you Lisa". I knew mr. smith didn't like me , he was one of the members of the pack who opposed letting me and kevin join the pack.

The bell rang after a long lecture on the importance of reading our text books. I headed towards my locker as Tristan followed. : Hey before I forget , do you wanna come over tonight to celebrate my birthday. There will be cake~ and a movie~" I said nudging him

"wouldn't miss it" he said smiling. we parted ways since we only had first period together. the next few classes flew by, but I hated going to my last class of the day. I walked into art class , I loved art but it was the people in it that made me want to skip the class. one of The alphas son Justin and a few of his 'goons' michale and colton where also in this class. "welcome everyone" mrs. lee said " I want you to finish up your projects by Friday , remember any form of art as long as it shows contrast". I set up my work station on the back table . grabbing a block clay I began sculpting a sun.

"Hey you excited about the mating ceremony" Michael said nudging colton " Oh yeah I want a strong she wolf with a nice ass"

"what about you Justin" colton said putting three canvas's on their table in front of me.

"I'm not going to claim anyone, my luna isn't among the candidates " Justin stood their playing with a paint brush.

I rolled my eyes he still think hes going to alpha, his older brother liam is by right the next alpha but Justin always says how hes going to challenge him for the tittle. "how do you know" michael said.

"just look at them, they are either ugly, needy, or annoying" my mouth dropped as I staired at Justin. I knew he was shallow but my god was he a asshole.

"Hey rouge mind your own business and stop ease dropping" colton said making Justin and Michael turn and look at me.

"Maybe if you guys didn't talk so loud, and don't call me rouge, I'm just as much part of the pack as you are" I growled . whoa that was the third time today whats wrong with me. Coloton once blue eyes darkened slightly as he walked over to me. His 6'1 frame towered over me " talk to me like that and i'll put you in your place" he said growling

The alphas eyes lit up in amusement. something in me snapped " I'd like to see you try" rage started building up inside me. I stood up challenging him. which was stupid he could kill me in his wolf form if he wanted, not that he could shift in school. He moved closer his body pinned mine to the table so I couldn't escape, His breathe trickled down my face "As future beta you will show me respect and submit" his short brown hair was slicked back and the smell of aftershave was overpowering any other smell. I should have backed down and submitted , but something in me wouldn't let me.

I pressed my body against his in show that I wouldn't back down "But you not beta yet" I tilted my head and smirked "are you?" the tension thickened as his knuckles turned white as he gripped the table behind me. his eyes went completely black, his wolf was starting to take over, he leaned his head down and sniffed my neck, in hailing my scent.

what the hell, I think this pervert was getting turned on by my defiance. "ok that's enough" Justin said using his alpha tone" people are starting to stare".

Colton gained his composure his eyes shifting back to blue. "you got lucky rouge". he said smirking as he walked back to his table. I hadn't noticed everyone in the class was looking at me whispering.

some of the pack members were staring at me in shock. half an hour later the bell rang and I headed home.
