Most of the wolves weren't up for school, and who could blame them. The only ones who actually went to school were Emma, Linsey, Quill, Robin, and my family. But my mind was too full to pay attention during class. With Eros sudden declaration and my recent breakup with an Alpha, well things were getting complicated quickly. 'God I miss the days when the widest thing we had was Abigail.'
'Are you okay? ' Eros asked through our telepathy.
I took in a shaky breath, 'I'm fine' I thought then stood up from the lunch table we were sitting on. Abby, Kenneth, Qira, Emma, Quill, Linsey, and Eros sat there around me, but Robin was out in the office, filling out the absences for the entire pack and probably better off there since it was awkward enough.
"Where are you going? "Abby asked.
"I am going to get my thermos, I'm still tired from . . .well you know. "I said and walked away.
I heard someone get up, and his deteriorating accent said, "I'll go with you."I shrugged and tried to ignore the extremely awkward situation I let myself into, "Jane?" He asked as we walked to my locker.
"What?" I asked.
"I can tell something is bothering you, tell me?"
I flustered, 'That was the thing, I can't find any words. My entire world blew up in my face and suddenly I am the Queen of the creatures o-o-or something like that? I don't even know what I am anymore, I was a vampire, then a werewolf, then a werewolf Queen, but before that a Luna then-'
"Who do feel you are? "He asked me, cutting off my rant.
I smirked, "I honestly feel thirsty, so if we don't get to my locker I'll end up like you." I joked, letting go of the problems for a second.
He smiled, "I'm not all that bad, am I ?"
I'm shrugged, "You're too . . .serious, Eros, too boring."
"Oh, I'm serious? Look who's talking."
I gasped, "How dare you call me boring? I'm the life of the party."I said.
He rolled his eyes, "Ha, ha, Sure you are, Janeane."
"Speak for yourself, Eros. "
He stuck his tongue out playfully, "You know, I think it's this accent, it makes everything sound like a lecture from an old English professor." He said, his mixed Russian, English accent making it amusing.
I smirked, "Well I happen to like accents myself." I say, my English accent rolling off my tongue.
He grinned, "And why is that, Miss. Janeane? "
"Because they are alluring, mysterious, too." I said and smiled, "Thanks, for cheering me up. . .and you know, everything else. . ."
"It's my pleasure -"He frowned suddenly, probably reading a passing thought of a student just as we reached a corner," Jane wait-"He said but I had turned the corner and saw the last straw
At the end of the corridor stood an amber-haired grill with her arms around an Alpha, lips in sync.
"Oh!" I gasped as all the words in my vocabulary vanished.
Eros cleared his throat, and I could read his head was filling with guilt for not stopping me sooner.
Robin pushed her away as he made eye contact with me, "Well. . .I guess you found a rebound." I said, hurt he would do something like that.
"Jane, it's not what it looks like," Robin said.
"I-I don't care, I just want to know if you just go around telling girls their you mate or if you could hook up that easily? " I laughed, deceiving my slight ache.
"Jane I'm sorry-"
I held my hand up, "No, just no. I, Jane Harris Dale Blackwood, Queen Alpha, reject you, Robin Damien Montes as my mate. "I said, knowing it was the right thing to do.
I walked back into Eros, feeling the necessity to escape, and so I did, running has always been my escape after all.
