Starring at the message from my dad telling me to be home after school. Got me thinking that finally he remembered my birthday. My dad never wished me a happy birthday or even remembered, and I never cared to reminded him. It felt like any other day to me as we never celebrated any holiday’s neither. Walking through the front door of the school I put my head down while walking thinking that I can camouflage myself from those who continuously bully me.
While walking my mind was on getting to my first class when Medina started becoming jumpy and I didn’t know what was going on. I caught a whiff of a strong smell. Of forest mixed with blueberries on a hot summers day my favorite , and Medina in a low growl said Mate. I put my head up to see where the smell was coming from, and there I seen on my right with his hands around my biggest bully in the whole school Veronica. As I put my head down and sped walked to the bathroom I seen Drako smelling the air as well walking away from Veronica.
I ran in the bathroom stall locked the stall door, kicked my feet up, and waited. I never heard anyone come into the bathroom as I waited for about 3 minutes. I heard the bell ring and peeked outside the bathroom to check to see if I was in the clear, when I seen no one in sight I ran to my first class. I always sat in the front row on the left side close to the door just in case I have to excuse myself to the bathroom or tuck tail and run. Upon entering in class I heard Veronica say “Oh there go the weakling of the school”. Veronica was on the tall side with Hazel eyes and short brown hair. One of the stronger wolves of our pack. Her dad being Beta Bradley. I ignored Veronica and sat in my seat.
I never had a friend or someone close to me to talk to, which I’m okay I spend my days working at a cafe afterschool, to save for traveling. Medina asked why run from mate, I told her he doesn’t like us because we are weak and plus he has a girlfriend. Medina started to growl I managed to cough I off. I told Medina we will talk more later about it as I wanted to try and focus in this class. Thinking to myself only one more month and I could leave.
Praying to the Moon Goddess to give me the strength to make it for 30 more days. During lunch I sat outside away from everyone else looking up different places I wanted to travel. Wanted my first place to be Scotland. I always dreamed about viewing the highlands and just learning the culture. Daydreaming about myself walking in the forest in the highlands smelling the fresh air of grass and freshly bloomed flowers, and the sound of water swimming in the ponds.
I was looking down at my phone when I noticed a set of shoes standing in front of me. Medina screaming in my head Mate, Mate, Mate is here, he likes us. I look up and see Drako looking down at me. I was so focused on my phone I never noticed the smell of forest and blueberries becoming more intense as he came closer to me . As I’m looking at Drako I’m noticing his muscles through his shirt and his hair parted on the side and the front hanging down covering his eyes which are emerald green. Something in me wants him to just mark me right here and right now but I came to my senses and I told Medina he does not like us he consider us weak.
Drako finally spoke and stated you can’t be my mate why would the Moon Goddess send me a weak wolf like you. I couldn’t say anything my tongue was at a stand still and I was froze and couldn’t move. In my mind I knew he would reject us and I was prepared for it . Drako stated I can’t have a weakling like you being the Luna of the Blue-Moon pack, what would people think of me?. Finally I heard the words i was prepared for “I Drako Gregory reject you Arianna Jeanty as my mate” I felt a pain in my chest. I never felt anything like it I dropped to my knees and held my chest as tears ran down my face I knew I had to finish.
I mustard up the courage and finished “ I Arianna Jeanty accept Drako Gregory rejection as my mate”. I felt the bond between us break, which caused me to scream in pain. I know Drako felt it to, but he never showed it. As Drako walked away I looked up and seen him walk into Veronica arms and gave her a hug and kiss, Veronica looked at me and smirked, they turned around and walked off. I never noticed the crowd until after Drako walked off, everyone started laughing and recording me on their phones, and calling me weak. I got up and ran to my car and cried while holding my chest asking the Moon Goddess why, why me.
