*The Present *
Ellies pov:
Another day at Greenland high it's already half past 2nd period and Rebecca hasn't shown up to class yet, might just be a good day after all. I doubt it, I'm never that lucky. Mr. Spits-a-lot has been going on and on about the mate bond and how it is supposed to be like the highest honor from the goddess of the moon. But if that's so true then how hasn't Queen met hers yet? I mean come on she's a saint, she literally saves lives for a living. Like what could she have done to make her so dishonorable? anyway, Mr. Dunkin says that when you turn 16 the moon goddess will practically draw your mate to you. And in some cases he's right. But like what if your mate dies in childbirth? Or a deadly car accident? I just think it sucks to be mated so young and lose the person you change your whole life for. It's heartbreaking. Okay ill admit it I am one of those fools waiting on my night in shining armor to appear and carry me into the sunset but that just seems so unrealistic to me. Sure we read about them every day and fantasize about a truly epic romance like Romeo and Juliet or beauty and her beast. But let's face it nobody wants to fall in love with their captor or be controlled. So why would a woman as powerful as the moon goddess seal our fate to be stuck in the shadows of some man? I mean what's up with that?! Whatever happened to woman empowerment and making decisions for yourself. Like hello, maybe not every she-wolf wants her body to betray her and force her to fall so deeply in love with the one person who can break your heart so deeply that you can literally die of heartbreak. I mean seriously dude, who wants that? Who says I need some muscle head to have that kind of power over me anyway. I was deep in thought when the door bursts open and in walks this tall slim and handsome foreigner. His thick brown curls sitting at the top of his head with the sides shaved in neat little layers topped off with some swirly designs shaved into his scalp. He had brown eyes and the pinkest round full lips I had ever seen. He stepped in with his head held high looking around the room as he handed over his schedule to Mr. Dunkin who seemed just as thrilled as I was, to have a newcomer join so late in the current school year. I couldn't help but let my eyes wander from his handsome features down to his rock-hard abbs peaking through his tight grey v-neck down to the bulge in his light blue skinny jeans as he stood there at the front of the class. I just couldn't look away he was almost mesmerizing the true form of perfection with his long full brown eyelashes batting away as they spoke in a low hushed tone. Practically a whisper but I wasn't even paying attention anyway. I was too busy eyeing that bulge in the front of his jeans as Mr. Dunkin pointed him over in my direction to the empty seat right behind where I was sitting. As he made his way over planted his black book bag on the floor beside him before pulling out his chair and taking a seat. He smelled like green apple sweet but juicy in a way because he had my mouth watering just looking his way. I couldn't help but stare until he looked in my direction and we locked eyes for a moment. He smiled at me revealing his perfectly straight pearly whites before nodding his head upward at me. and only then did I realize I was staring so awkwardly hard prompting me to look away so fast I nearly gave myself whiplash. He laughed showing a clear indication he had caught me staring at him, being weird.
"Great ELs even the new kid thinks your a loser"
I shook my head trying my best to clear my thoughts as Mr. Dunkin began teaching the lesson once more. He started fresh this time on a new more interesting topic. "Can anybody here tell me how a wolf can hold powers greater than any ordinary wolves?" Mr. Dunkin asked the class. But not a hand rose up to answer it. "Well then I guess ill just have to tell you," he said.
"A wolf can be born with many gifts ..Such as powers and strength.. Some of you may already know of this but when a wolf shifter is mated with a warlock the two of them can form an incredible bond sharing each other strengths and weaknesses alike. But their offspring can be known as the mega wolf." He paused for dramatic effect. "HALF WOLF HALF SOMETHING ELSE!". " Can anyone give me an example of this," He asked. the new kid raised his hand almost immediately. "Yes, Korey?" Mr. Dunkin called on the new kid. "Well, when I was a pup my father use to tell me stories of a wolf called the ice queen ... And he said she was one of the most powerful wolves next to the moon goddess herself. Leading her pack into battle and emerging victorious with next to no casualties from her own pack. It was said that she could have won the battle single-handedly by herself." He said with his deep mysterious voice. He sounded more infatuated with this ice goddess than I was with him.
Mr. Dunkin went on to continue the lesson handing out a booklet for homework on the very same subject. He had everyone take a booklet and pass the remainder on. However, when the last two booklets made it to my desk there was no one else to pass it to other than Korey. I grabbed one and held the other out to him trying my hardest not to look in his direction. When he reached out to grab it I felt him grab onto my hand along with it sending a shock up my arm before I could pull away there was that feeling again that pull, and before I could move I was being sucked into another vision. But it was different this time I was wearing a white dress standing in front of a large white door with golden handles. I reached over and grabbed the handle, pulling the door open as I walked out on the neatly laid white aisle stepping on fresh pink rose petals as I walked down the aisle, and standing before me was this tall figure standing there with his back turned to me before I could reach the figure of what I now know to be a man in a black suit he spun around to face me..Standing there face to face I realized it was none other than Korey! The new kid in class who I've only known for less than 24hours now not even 24minutes what the hell!! How did I get here?. How did we get here? And is he crying?. Shaking my head as to clear this vision out of my mind when suddenly I was back in class the vision was over and Korey still hadn't let go of my hand. He was sitting there holding my hand for ten whole seconds it was way past awkward and honestly, I had enough of today. I snatched my hand back stood up from my desk tossing my books into my bag and took off out the door three minutes before the bell. I could hear Mr. Dunkin screaming behind me to come back to class shouting "The bell hasn't rung!" but as I said before I've had enough I just need some air ...Some space ...Some me time... Something. I needed to figure out what the hell was happening to me. I haven't had a vision since that first night in the woods sitting there pouring my heart out to a stranger. Frost her name was. She was so kind and she just made me feel so normal so safe like I could tell her about anything. I guess for once in my life I felt like I had a friend. Someone who wasn't my cousin Penn socially obligated to be my friend or listen to me babble on and on about my troubles, besides Penn only liked me because I saved her life, but if I'm being honest with myself I don't even really know if it's true. I mean I don't really remember it. But frost made me feel free in a way. And boy could I really use her now. And that vision we had when our hands touched I know we both saw it or at least we both saw something, but when Korey and I touched I know I saw something but I don't think it was shared between us. It was sort of like time stopped and everything else around us paused including him. Just sitting there frozen clinging onto me with some dumb look planted on his face. I can't really explain it but it freaked me out. He freaked me out. His touch, well I just wasn't mentally prepared for it. I was almost home now just two more blocks till I'm there. I've just been walking around here like a mindless zombie. I can't seem to get out of my own head. Walking up the stairs leading up to my front door I pulled out my keys turning the key in the lock before pushing it open shutting the door behind me. Shutting my eyes leaning my back up against the door sliding down to the ground letting out a big frustrated sigh. I had no idea I was being watched until I heard it.
"Well, someone must have had a day huh?"
Looking to my right I saw the source of the voice was none other than Rebecca the evil she-wolf I somehow seemed to forget even existed. With a day like I had she was the least of my worries. But still, something about her voice just drove me nuts. The perfect way to end such a horrible day, seeing the face of my nemesis in my own home and of course, Ezra decided to skip school with her. Such a great influence, that girl. But who am I to speak. I'm doing the same thing. Not even bothering to respond I just glared at her storming off and stomping my feet the whole way up the stairs and to my bedroom slamming the door behind me like some drama queen. I really needed this day to be over. Like now. Right now. Ughhhhh!!! I hate it here!
