Chapter One: Forced to break out of my shell? Yay or nay? They wanted their stuff untouched, and somehow I had allowed that to govern me?! ********** "Hello crackhead!" Chloe's very enthusiastic voice welcomed me the minute I walked into her dorm room, making me wince and cover my ears as an immediate reaction. "As always, that is disgusting. Do not call me that!" I replied before walking straight into her arms to receive the tight hug she always gave to me each time we saw each other. "As always, loosen up! It is just a cute nickname meant specifically for you, be grateful!" She defended and I concluded the everyday argument with a sigh as I threw my bag on the ground and landed hard on her bed. I was f*****g exhausted! I never imagined college being so difficult for me, especially after I chose a course that I thought was suited for me and the most interesting. I guess there was just more to law than what I imagined and at this point, I was just in awe that I even survived my first year! I instantly shook the thought of me ever failing this year away before the negative energy manifested itself into reality, as my two best friends, Chloe and Julia always said! "Where is Julia? Do not tell me she actually attended her Friday classes for once?" I questioned and Chloe immediately had a sly smile on her face. What was that all about? I asked the same question that had just rang in my head and she continued to stretch that smirk on her face into a bigger smile, embellished with her pearly whites that were definitely way too perfect to not envy! "What are you doing for your birthday this year? Tik tok! Clock is ticking honey!" She tapped the top of her wrist to exaggerate her statement and I went from staring at her with serious interest to shaking my head and dropping back onto the bed, returning to being on my back. "Come on, Raine! Do not give me that kind of reaction! Twenty is a big deal, okay? Just so you know, Jules and I are not letting you hide like a fugitive again this year!" She sounded so certain and it was so easy for her to say! Not that I could ever blame her, she just had no idea. …..that I indeed was a fugitive! A fugitive living a difficult life to avoid another type of difficult, oppressive life! I had managed to somehow bag myself some wild, party-crazy friends that loved, absolutely loved to get drunk and "make memories and stupid mistakes while they were young and it did not matter as much!" They were absolute darlings and the biggest reason I felt like I belonged on these grounds... The human grounds. Although my mother was fully human, her wild lifestyle led her to having me with "a very influential alpha wolf" and that was about that I knew about my father. Oh..apart from the fact that he commited an ultimate act if betrayal and stupidity that led to me growing up as nothing but a slave within my pack. I absolutely detested the type of childhood that I had, but thankfully I had a really good friend who was in a similar predicament and got along with me amazingly! I missed him a lot, and knowing that his situation had probably not changed because unlike me, he could never have a spine to stand for himself, sometimes broke my heart. But I had even bigger worries concerning the wolves! My mate... Ughhh..gag! I could never think about him without feeling repulsed! He was the reason I fled to begin with! Being the prize possession of a notoriously s*x-obsessed, abusive animal was not a life I was going to sign myself up for! Hence on my eighteenth birthday, right after encountering him and discovering that of all the she wolves that filled our population, the scum just had to be assigned to me? Never, no! I had contemplated escaping my awful life as a slave several times and learning that my situation was only about to get worse gave me the final push that I needed to finally go through with the plan. I asked my best friend to stage it as though I had been killed by rogues after encountering Alpha Baron. I was never able to know just how well Fabian had acted that out but I hoped he had not disappointed me and that was the reason I was still here and not back in that awful place! Living within the humans was better than what I had going for me back home, but it was not all blissful! Some days I felt like I had just been transferred to a better prison and nothing more... I could never drink and let my guard down like my best friends because I had to keep the "tea" that I drank everyday to completely mask my scent and suppress my wolf effective, and I always had to be looking out to ensure I never trusted a wolf in disguise that had just been sent to fetch me and throw me back into that disgusting place! Since I was suppressing my wolf, I had lost my ability to sense others and hence could only ever rely on my intuition! And my paranoid ass never let me breathe easy! Chloe and Julia were not aware of what I was, and honestly, I could never tell them! Territory here was divided into the area for the wolves, the witches and finally the humans. It was no secret that every human hated wolves and I was unaware of the history, but had no other option but to keep my secret to myself. Losing my friends would definitely be the absolute worst thing to ever happen to me while I was here! "Earth to Raine! What has you so deep in thought?" Chloe snapped her fingers in front of my face and ended my train of thoughts. "Nothing!" I sat up again and shifted so I was facing her. "I am just really thinking about Dean and that assignment..." I found the quickest excuse, which was the best because as it stood, that was a current problem! "What about it? Dean is a cool guy and I know you are into him! Just let loose and allow things to happen!" Chloe gave me the weirdest reply that had me twisting my face with confusion. How did me saying that lead to that? "What? He is also really smart and you should he happier that he chose you to be in a pair with!" She continued and I finally arched my brow and crossed my arms over my chest to give her that interrogative look! "Why are you advertising him? That is weird! You know how I feel about dating!" I stated and she rolled her eyes. "Right...Mrs I am never sexually frustrated! I do not know how the f**k you do it!" She shook her head at me. Never sexually frustrated? I wish! I had needs, as I should! And like every other virgin, I get tired of hammering my clit while pretending there's a dreamy man between my legs! But what the f**k else could I do?! Nothing! Not only could I never let my guard down, for some reason I was keeping my virginity because I knew how those awful Alphas were! They wanted their stuff untouched, and somehow I had allowed that to govern me?! "Whatever! Life is not all about s*x!" I replied, pretending I was not dying for some physical touch, which, with friends that always told stories of their toe curling orgasms and what made every single aspect of s*x feel great, with very elaborate details, I had every right to be sexually frustrated! And Dean was super attractive! I was guilty of placing his gorgeous face between my legs while I touched myself....more than once! "Okay, there is no other way to tell you this! You need to go on a date with him! He asked and I let two hours go by and told him you agreed, so...yeah! You are going on a date, crackers!" She shrugged before getting off her bed. "What?! How could you do that? After two hours? Did you want me to come off as desperate?" I was freaking out! What the hell had she done? "You cannot cancel him, imagine how awkward things will be after!" She was trying the manipulation and I hated that it was working!
