Untameable

Four-Tantalizing the Rogue Human

Trisha POV

I booked it out of the classroom and into the hall. I had to get out of there. I had to breathe. For whatever reason, the room felt stuffy and hot and my body was driving me crazy. I was pretty sure my underwear were soaked through with how aroused I was. But what the hell was turning me on and why!? I had felt Gavin staring at me, his eyes burning the back of my head.

I knew he’d likely be another admirer I’d have to thwart. My heart palpitated painfully in my chest as I struggled to get the image of him in his black vest and slacks and red shirt out of my mind. I swore I’d never date. Not until I was graduated from college.

Otherwise, they were too immature and after suffering enough emotional trauma to last me a lifetime from my parents and extended family, I didn’t want to go through more. I tried not to think about my past, but it was hard when so many things triggered it. Especially unwanted physical touch.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy hugs and being close to friends and those I claim as family. Like Erik and Daisy. But I hated having my space entered without permission, especially my s****l space like Preston had done just this morning. I could still taste the iodine nastiness of his kiss on my lips. I wanted to spit and wash my mouth out until it was raw. But I couldn’t, as I had to get to my next class.

“There’s my girl!” I jumped as suddenly I was hugged from behind. At first I stiffened, ready to batter my assailant, then relaxed when I realized it was my friends. Daisy was the one hugging me and Erik had been the one to speak. I turned and returned her embrace, parting to greet Erik with a warm embrace.

“So what did you get this time? Detention? ISS?” Daisy pressed with a laugh and it was then I realized…no one had given me any punishment for my earlier actions. There hadn’t even been any mention of it. Usually by now someone had scolded me and delivered a punishment. Did I get away with it? Or had they simply decided punishments were not enough and were now somewhere discussing my expulsion?

“Well?” Daisy prompted as we began walking. “Yeah Trish, spill. Maybe this time we can sneak you out of it, if it’s detention!” Erik added, playfully, butting my shoulder with his own. I laughed. “None actually. Or at least, that I’ve been told. No teacher has approached me yet to get at me for it.” Their eyes widened as we reached Daisy’s locker and she swapped some textbooks. “Really!?” She asked.

“Yes really. Although, first period had me a bit distracted…” I responded as we continued to mine and Erik’s lockers, which were right next to each other just across from the Library. Erik lifted his eyebrows in interest. “Oh? Distracted how? Wait, that’s Physical Anatomy and Physiology right? Were you studying the male reproductive system?” He teased with a wink.

“What!? No! Just this new student. He likes to drag his feet or something and had the nerve to static shock me and embarrass me in front of the entire class…”

Both my friends grew silent as I swapped my books for gym clothes just like Erik had. We shared the next period, which was P.E. and we preferred not to store our clothes in the gym lockers. Otherwise, our clothes would always go missing. Perturbed by my friends’ sudden silence, I shut my locker and looked at them.

Erik was staring at someone behind me with an expression I could not read, while Daisy was bowed and stiff, a shocked look on her face. Great, that meant only one thing. A Faction Leader was behind me.

I turned around, only to recoil in shock as I saw Gavin. Anger filled me. What he did in class wasn’t enough? Was he planning on sneaking up on me and doing something here too? Almost immediately, I glowered. “Are you following me?” I accused and he held up his hands in an innocent gesture. “No, no. My locker is just next to yours and you’re currently blocking it. May I…?” I suddenly felt ashamed and my cheeks flamed. “Oh, sorry, I…”

He chuckled and that same sensation from before ricocheted down my spine and clenched my core once more. What was wrong with me!? This definitely wasn’t sickness, as it had eased once I left the classroom. “No worries, beautiful. I’m sure I just caught you off guard and you’re still tense from this morning. I saw what happened. You deserve more respect than that.”

Daisy inhaled, and Erik’s expression darkened as my own eyes widened and I looked between the three in shock. I didn’t know what to say and instead shut my locker and stepped back. As I did so, that same suffocating heat and pressure surrounded me and made my abdomen build pressure as desire filled me. I felt my underwear stick to me uncomfortably as my arousal worsened.

I swallowed and subconsciously grabbed Erik’s hand. I ran with him in tow, scurrying off to P.E.

I swore as I ran with Erik, I heard a growl like an angry animal. But when I looked back, I only saw Daisy, remaining in her bowed and stricken position, and Gavin with a pair of gym shorts and t-shirt in his hands as he slammed his locker shut. Not sure what to think, I hurried off to gym class. “Is that the new student you were talking about?” Erik asked, winded, as we got to the gym lockers near the gym.

“Yeah, and I just made a complete fool of myself…I guess I’m still riled up from Preston this morning…” I mumbled. “Hey,” Erik said suddenly, tilting my chin up to look at him, “It was an honest mistake and I’m sure he understood. Don’t think too hard, K? If you do, I’ll have to show Daisy your secret tickle spot. ” I smiled with a laugh and shook my head. Erik always knew how to make me smile.

“That’s my girl. See you in gym!” He then left to enter the men’s locker room and I entered the women’s. I quickly changed into my gym clothes and slipped on some sneakers.

Surprisingly, the girls weren’t gossiping and taunting me like normal today. Instead, they were all giggling about some new student with a “royal background” that just transferred into the school and would share class with us. My mind wondered who they were talking about.

It couldn’t be Gavin, could it? I shook the thought away. Of course not. I was just being paranoid. Just because Gavin was new in my class, didn’t mean he was the new student these girls gossiped about.

I tied my hair up with an elastic and headed out into the gym. I always enjoyed P.E.. It made me feel refreshed, especially during a cold shower at the end to wash off the sweat accumulated during a thorough workout. But as I entered the gym, the same suffocating heat engulfed me, followed by a fresh gush between my legs. Just like before. I blinked and looked around. What was going on with me!?

I tried to ignore the feeling only to suddenly smell an amazing fragrance waft into my lungs. It smelled like pumpkin spice and cinnamon, mixed with sandalwood, a damp forest and hint of vanilla with a dash of honey. The nature smells made my heart race and I couldn’t atop inhaling it.

I must’ve entered a dazed state as I walked toward the teacher, because suddenly I was slamming into a tall figure. The scent was strongest now as it settled around me and strong arms stabilized me.

“You ok there, miss?” I blinked again and shook the daze away as I looked up only to see those piercing green orbs from before. Those definitely weren’tcontacts. It was Gavin…again! His eyes were so beautiful up close, and his eyelashes were so long and…ugh! No, don’t think those things!

Ok now I knew something is wrong with me. Was this what a crush felt like? No, no, no! I couldn’t! I would never. But his breath billowed softly over my face and I shivered, forcing myself to step back. “I’m f-fine. J-just distracted today. Sorry,” I managed, clenching my jaw. Gavin smiled down at me and looked down. Erik joined my side then, and coach began giving our instructions for the day.

Gavin POV

She was so close to me, I could feel her breath on my lips. She was definitely responding to my aura, but not in the same way others would. But this time, she kept inhaling deeply as if smelling an irresistible scent. She followed it until she slammed into me. I had been watching her from the moment she entered the gym. Her shorts exposed her long legs, which were muscular for a woman, but still held the softness and curves of a womanly figure.

I knew the other students were watching me as I ate her body up with my eyes. Many she-wolves were going to be jealous, but despite my age, I couldn’t help it. It was bad enough I growled when she grabbed that vampire’s hand and unintentionally forced my Gamma into submission, before coming to class.

Eon was lingering close to the surface and was making it impossible to completely withdraw my aura. And it was affecting Trisha. Making her body respond, to desire me.

'Mate desires us...we should just take her!'

No! Quit being a perverted fool, Eon!

I steadied her and it took her a moment to come out of her haze. When she did, her beautiful eyes met mine. Up close I realized her eyes weren’t gray. But rather a dark silver, laced with blue and green. Almost as if they changed color. I fought the urge to kiss her as she stared at me. Then she shivered, and stepped back, mumbling her apology. I smiled down at her and adjusted my shorts, which were threatening to become a tent if I didn’t hide my 2nd erection of the day in time.

The vampire eyed me suspiciously, and I knew my behavior was strange, even to other on-looking species. This would not remain a secret for long, if at all, but how would I ease Trisha into it? I couldn’t outright claim and mate her. That could make her resent Eon and I. As the coach was giving instructions, I mind-linked Jim.

‘Are there any known clans with alternate agendas or negative associations with the crown in the school?’ I asked.

‘Not that we are aware of, Alpha Prince. Why?’ he replied.

‘I was just checking something. Nevermind.’

‘This has to do with the Rogue Human doesn’t it?’

I stiffened at his question. But in a gruff tone via mindlink, responded, ‘No.’

There was silence for a moment as if he was debating how to respond. Then he finally said,

‘I can tell you’re lying. I saw what happened in class. She’s your mate, isn’t she?’

Damn it!! Was I that obvious!? What good was a millennia of experience if I couldn’t hide something this important!? There was a murder in our midst for crying out loud, targeting nobility. And I was among the highest nobility. They would go after her the moment they caught a whiff of who she was to me. I decided it was better to come clean and get aid protecting her, rather than risk her life.

‘Yes. She’s my mate. But do not tell the rest of the brigade for the time being. Orders remain unchanged. For now. I also need you to screen every supernatural and their families in this school. She will become a target. Oh, and get me her address.’

I heard Jim laugh through the link before he replied, ‘Yes Alpha.’ And then closed the link. I sighed, and followed the class as we headed outside. For a crisp spring morning, it was warm outside. We were apparently running the mile and setting goals for the rest of the semester.

‘Remember not to show up the others too much.’

Eon smirked in my mind as we all gathered at the starting point. I held back a snide retort. I think I rather preferred his silence to this new talkative version. I couldn’t help noticing Trisha exchanging hushed murmurs with the vampire and chose to sit out. I wanted to eavesdrop, but something told me I shouldn’t.

Just who and what was he to her anyway? He seemed awfully close to a human for a supernatural being. Particularly the Rogue Human. Ugh! I hated that name for her. My eyes scrutinized him as I took him in. He was nothing I would call impressive. He was standard, at least to me. I knew if I battled him, it would be over quickly, with me as the victor.

Just then the coach blew his whistle, and we all began running. Some students took their time, while others ran at a full pelt sprint. I kept myself within the top 5, knowing I could easily outpace and out-stamina these students if I wanted. But I couldn’t draw unwanted attention to me from Trisha. The other supernatural kind wouldn’t mind my display, but Trisha would.

As I was running, a thought occurred to me. I smiled knowing full well the coach would not dare discipline me. As I ran, I pulled my shirt up and over my head, tucking it into my shorts like a rag. I heard Trisha gasp, while other girls giggled and gawked.

‘If you’re going to strip tease her, you better be willing to go all the way and mate her swiftly!’

Oh shut it Eon. I liked you better silent. I’m just having a bit of fun.

‘Your funeral. And stop telling me to be quiet. Now that we have found our mate, I am never being silent again.’

I ignored him and chuckled as Trisha’s arousal wafted into my lungs stronger than it ever had before and I passed the finish line with second fastest time.
