Chapter Eight
1170 Words
I woke up the next morning feeling rejuvenated.
Today is going to be so much better than yesterday.
I’m going to outdo myself with today's outfit.
A curled high ponytail with bangs, pink bell bottom jeans and a one shoulder puff sleeve pink crop top.
Top it off with a cute choker, some bangles, and earrings.
Eat your heart out Brendon, because there is no way in hell you can resist this.
“We look good enough to eat!” Meena says with a laugh.
“I agree, girl.” I say back to her.
When I’m done with my makeup I make it downstairs for breakfast. Everyone else is already up on the move. Rushing around the house like they're in a race. My father already yanked my brothers out of bed super early this morning. Meredith was grabbed by my mother, as she has to learn how to handle situations like this as the future Luna of our pack.
When I sat down at the breakfast table to eat, one of the omegas rushed over with a tray . It had a piping hot omelet and a glass of orange juice on it.
Mrs. Graceson was probably super busy with preparations for our menu so I didn’t blame her.
The omelet was divine, it was stuffed with a variety of meats, cheese, peppers, and onions.
I of course didn’t leave a crumb on the plate.
I chugged my orange juice and rushed for the door.
I was tickled pink, I couldn’t wait to see Brendon’s face when he saw me today.
I was going to get him to open up to me today.
I found my mother outside with Meridith. They were trying to decorate the front of the house and make sure everything from the bushes to the trees were properly maintained. I gave them both a quick kiss and hug on my way to my car. In the distance I could see my father and brothers training with the pack warriors on the training ground. They were really going full throttle. At that moment I was happy to be born as his little princess. My brothers looked like they were going through hell. I guess there was something good to come out of the royals springing their attendance on us at the last moment after all.
I laughed and hopped in my car and sped off to school.
I stopped at my usual coffee shop on the way. The coffee shop was on my pack lands and was owned by Mr. Rolland’s, although now his daughter Riley mostly runs it now.
Ever since she took over the shop it has become like our own little Starbucks.
Which the younger pack members like me are so grateful for.
Today it was hard to choose between a salted caramel frappuccino or their new pink wolf blended lemonade.
I decided to go with the pink wolf.
What can I say, it matches my outfit.
It was like a boost of energy and on top of that it was delicious.
Guess it is what the pack really needs right now to keep us going because they were selling like crazy.
I pulled into my usual spot at school at the same time others were arriving.
We had about ten minutes before the bell rings letting us know to get to class.
I was excited to tell Gretchen and Katherine about me finding my mate.
They might even have some more information on him then I do.
I found them at our spot, one of the round tables that decorate the outside of the school by the student parking lot entrance.
I would have to explain myself quickly since time was running out.
Gretch and Kat almost screamed with joy.
“We are so happy for you!” They both say in unison.
I was the first after all in our friend group to find my mate.
Neither of my besties had found theirs yet.
Kat still had two months before her eighteenth birthday.
Gretch turned eighteen three months ago but hasn't found her mate yet.
“So give me the deets. What have you heard about him? I haven’t been able to gather much intel. I’ve been asking everyone I can think of that might know anything but it’s like this guy has been living under a rock. All anyone knows is that he moved here just recently, and that he keeps to himself. They barely even know his last name or what pack he is even from. It’s almost like he doesn’t even exist. He isn’t on any social media that I can find” I say rolling my eyes.
Gretch and Kat look at each other with alarm.
“I haven’t heard much about him either.” Kat says.
“I really haven’t heard anything but I can look into him for you. I’m sure someone has to have some info.” Gretch says.
“Thank you guys.” I say with a grin on my face.
The bell rang letting us know it was time to get to the first class.
I parted ways with them as I headed off to class.
I couldn’t smell Brendon anywhere and it made me slightly irritated that I couldn’t get a glimpse of him.
I’d have to wait until later.
For once I actually looked forward to gym class.
My mind went back to what happened in the showers with him and my cheeks went red.
“Girl, please stop. You are making us both horny. I can see your flashbacks too!” Meena says with a breathy growl.
“I’m sorry Meena! I’m not sure why my mind went there!” I say embarrassed.
“Honey, you found your mate. It is a natural response to that. Not to mention the fact that you aren’t with him right now. You are going to always have those thoughts. They will be more frequent now since you’re not marked and mated yet. Or when you are away from each other for long.” Meena says happily.
Oh great, so I get to be a horny mess from here on out.
I let out a heavy sigh as I tried to half heartedly pay attention in class.
It seemed as if class dragged on and on and all I could think about was Brendon.
When the bell rang for the next class I briskly walked through the halls. Trying to get a whiff of him.
When I see him I will act like I accidentally ran into him. He wouldn’t be able to take his eyes off me.
As the bell got closer and closer to ringing for the next class I got more and more frustrated. Where was he?
I asked some people passing in the hall about him but most of them barely knew who he was. The others didn’t even know who I was talking about.
I was beginning to feel like he was a figment of my imagination.
