The Rise of the Lycan Queen

Chapter 8

Elenas POV

I can’t breath. No matter how hard I try I just can’t get any air into my lungs. What do I do? I’m not ready to come face to face with my mate. I’m not ready to love him. I’m not ready to be a Luna, I’m just not ready. At this point the small trip to the hall has turned into the longest walk of my life. Maybe I can make a run for it? Maybe he’ll be so distracted he won’t even notice I’ve ran, but I can expose myself yet. Dad told me to not to trust anyone with my secret. Should I trust my mate? I don’t even know him yet!  Pushing all that to the back of my mind I continue on to the hall way. For a walk that is only 20 feet at most it has turned into miles. Not from distances, that’s still the same but the strain on my heart, My heart is beating so fast it feels like a jackhammer going off in my chest. I can feel his presence in the hall, he’s nervous but excited. With my super hearing I can tell his heart is beating as fast as mine. Heck my senses are all over the place right now. Maybe I’m not even hearing his heart beat. Maybe it’s my own. Okay a few more steps, I cant do this! I stop mid step right before I leave the class room. “I can’t do this”  I keep repeating to myself “Maybe I can make a run for it.” I say to myself. Oh who am I kidding Everly wouldn’t let me run from my mate even if I wanted to. Even with me begging as much as I can. I’m standing in front of the door now, I can’t just stand here so I reach for the door handle.  I turn the handle and Finally willing the air to leave my lungs I enter the hall way.

 There he is. Goddess he’s beautiful. “Jo stop that” I think to myself, I can’t let myself fall for him. Even though he is the most amazing looking man in the world. Okay just breath I say to myself not realizing I’m holding in yet another breath. What is it about my mate that literally takes my breath away. I don’t want to fall for him but yet I’m standing here visualizing our whole future. Goddess this is going to be harder than I though. Finally No sooner than my foot hits the tile floor in the hall he begins to look at me. Slowly he starts From head to toe without saying a single word. I’m wondering to myself what he must think of me and all I’m getting from Everly is purring, she clearly loves  our mates attention.  After what feels like forever  of having his eyes look of my body I can’t take it anymore, I mean I literally can’t breath. Having his intense glare on my is causing my lungs not to work. I’m to overwhelm I have to get out of here. With light saying a single word to my God like mate I turn to leave. I don’t know where I’m going all I know is I have to get out of here. No matter how hard I try to resist him, and I know I’m not going to be able to for long, leaving is the only way ill be able to is to get away from him in this moment. Without giving him a chance to even speak I make my way slowly like a human to the steps that lead to the nearest exit. As I’m about to turn the corner I give him a quick glance. I can tell he’s angry but most of all he’s hurt. He’s probably even wondering why his mate is running from him. I just need some time and some air because I’m really getting light headed. So as soon as I am out of his sight I use my super speed to run down the steps and out of the building. Once I make it down out of the building I can see the football field to my left and the parking lot to my right but straight in front of me is the woods. So I head towards the woods. I need to go for a run to clear my head and let Everly out because she is pissed at me for not letting her talk to our mate. Running is the only thing I know that’ll clam her down. Within seconds I’m in the woods. Looking around to make sure no one sees me  I make my way over to the closest tree that’s big enough to hide my small frame so I can take my clothes off to shift.  placing  my clothes and book bag at the bottom of the tree trunk where I can find them when I’m done. I move slightly away from the tree then I begin to shift. Shifting use to hurt right when I first started to but after so many times it just stops. Just a minutes goes by before I am standing tall in Everly’s wolf form. Even though now something is feeling different but I don’t understand why anything would change. I’m lost in my thoughts when I hear  

“E something feels different.” She says to me. “I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought so” I said to myself. I began to run deeper into the woods. Dodging tree and jumping over bigger rocks and falling trees I finally reply to her “What do you think it is that’s different? I don’t know what it is but  It probably has something to do with meeting our mate.” I say back to her but before I have time to say anything else she says “I don’t know what it is but I can hear a waterfall can we go for a swim?” She says to me while mentally giving me her puppy dog eyes. “Sure” is all I have a chance to say before she takes off running. Once we arrive at the waterfall she runs us straight into the water jumping and splashing around. I don’t know how much time has passed before we climb out of the water and lays on the ground to take a quick nap. It’s been a long day and I was only in first period before taking off. Hopefully they don’t call dad because he’ll pile on the training for sure. Laying my wolf head on my paws I slowly start drifting in and out before I finally fall into a deep sleep. 

Jax POV

I’m standing there in the hall all I can do is lean on the lockers as I wait for my mate to come out of the room. I’m so excited to meet her my leg begins to nervously shake as I wait for her. What’s taking her so long? The walk from the class room is not that long! I’m so caught up in my own thoughts that I begin to lose time myself. Why did it seem like she wanted nothing to do with us? Does she not realize that we are mates? Is she a human? Parker said she was super strong but didn’t have any indications that’s she is anything more. She doesn’t have the scent of a wolf, nor a vampire, or even a witch. So what is she? I’m so lost in my own thoughts I don’t even see her step into the hall way. But After what feels like forever she finally steps into the halls. As soon as she does I lose all my senses, including common sense. Her presents is driving me and my wolf crazy. I can’t help my eyes from wondering all over her body. I start from her tiny feet and go all the way up to her beautiful face. She has the most beautiful eyes in the world. I can get lost in them a million times over and would never get tired of seeing them. Even with these plain school lights her eyes shine bring like a diamond. Even To her gorgeous flowing curly hair that I can imagine running my fingers through for hours on in. I.. I cant speak I try my best but i can’t for a single word or even a single sentence. My voice is completely gone because all i can think about is grabbing her up in my arms and making a run for it. I never want her to leave my side again. Before I can muster up any words to say, she takes off. I’m standing there looking like a huge i***t and my mate takes off down the hall. All I can do is feel anger boiling inside me. I’m beyond pissed. She’s doesn’t even say a singer word to me! She just walks away like I’m nothing! Does she not feel the mate bond?!? Is she a human? I can’t even understand Where is she going!?! She turns back to me before she vanished beyond the corner. I feel my eyes shift to black pools and my wolf has came to the surface. “How dare she leave us” he yells angrily. After coming to my senses enough to realize what she has done. I’m doing evening in my power to holding my wolf back. Even trying to keep myself from shifting right here and right now is harder than I could have ever imagined. I use my super speed to catch up with her. I turn to corner expecting her to be there but she’s gone? There is no way a human could possibly run that fast! She’s clearly something more. I inhaled a breath of air like my life was depending on it. Soon after I catch on to her scent and follow where my nose is leading me. The scent leads me to the stair case and down to the nearest exit. Once i reach outside the scent is nearly nonexistent. How could that be? I don’t know what’s going on but I have questioned myself more in the past half hour than I have in my entire life. So I inhaled another deep breath but at the point her scent have vanished.  She’s gone but where did she go? I look to my right toward the parking lot and her Jeep is still parked there so I know she has to be close. I look to my left toward the football field where some of the guys from my pack are throwing a ball around. I open up a mindlink to Mike one of my warriors in training. “Mike did you see a girl about 5’7”-5’9” with chestnut brown hair and hazel eyes run through there?” Within a second he reply’s “no sir” and before he can get in another word I close the link. I’ve look everywhere around here but the woods so that must be where she is. As I’m making my way towards the woods I can’t help but think. How? How did she disappear so quickly? I open a link with Parker “ill be gone the rest of the day hold the fort down for me.” I say to him and take off toward the woods in hopes of finding my mate before she gets herself hurt.
