Arthur’s POV
She is definitely a human, she smells nothing like a wolf. My wolf now is unsettled, growling at me.
“I can’t feel her wolf.”
“That’s because she’s human, dumbshit.”
I growl back at my wolf.
She’s human, but I’m still drawn to her, she’s my mate. Why in heaven will I be mated to a human? An alpha mated to a human, is this a Joke?
“Why the f**k are you staring at me like that?” she blink.
She’s so naive, she doesn’t know who I am or what I am. I bet she doesn’t have a clue that she’s in the midst of werewolves.
"Nothing," I take a step away from her. "I guess I thought you were someone else."
She goes for the door again, but my hand brush again her naked arm, and it's like an electric current zaps through me.
I wasn't imagining anything, there is indeed a connection between us.
My wolf stirs, confirming what I have feared, even though she is merely human.
“MINE!”
My wolf said it loud in my head that I became so scared that she may have heard it. I’m so sure that she doesn’t know about my kind, but seeing that she’s my mate, I’ll keep a close eye on her.
“What the hell is going on here?”
The principal opens the door and sees Justin and I in the room. She’s looking at us suspiciously, but she can’t rant because she’s afraid of what I would do.
“Nothing to see here, principal. I am leaving already," I brush my hand against my eyebrow.
I leave Justin and the principal, dumbfounded by my statement, dash out to the library.
I go to the library, reading a random book, I didn’t even check what book it was. I’m just trying to distract my head from my mate who is human.
Then my peace of mind is interrupted.
I can smell Ainsley from a thousand mile away.
It's my fault for complimenting the perfume she wore over two years ago.
Now, she doesn't leave the house without dousing herself all over with it.
“Babe, you’re here, I have been looking for you," she brightly smiles at me as she sits down.
“I’m studying.” I say without giving her a glance.
“You really don’t have to be going through all this stress for good grades, you can get it with the snap of your fingers, you know.” she says.
This isn’t the first time Ainsley has said this to me, I just give her the same response every time.
“I don’t need favours from my subordinates.” I growl.
“Well, that’s why I love you. You will make a good alpha one day and I’ll be by your side to help you," her hand moves across the table, and her fingers lightly touches mine.
Ainsley chuckles at what she said. Even though she found what she said ridiculous, it’s her way of giving me hints to make her my mate and Luna of my pack.
My head drafts back to Justin, my human mate. What do I do with her? How do I get close to her?
I hear that without a mate, an alpha would be weakened by the day. My mate is a human, how am I mated to a human?
“Babe, you didn’t answer my question.”
“What, Ainsley?" I ask impatiently. Can't she just materialize into the air or something?
She doesn’t like me calling her by her name, she said it sounds like her father when it’s coming from me.
“Is the new girl giving you a hard time? I heard Mrs Smith said you should guide her. You don’t want that right?”
“Why do you think she’s giving me a hard time?”
“Well, I heard that you were staring at her when she got to your class, I mean is she giving you a foul vibe? Does she make your wolf unsettled?” she twirls her hair around her finger, pouting her lips the way she does when she is upset.
I chuckle at her fake concerns, even my wolf gets really unsettled when she’s around us.
“No Ainsley, I’m okay," I shut the book, a sly smile on my face. "But, I'm curious, if Justin was actually bothering me, what will you do about it?"
I push the book to the side, leaning to look her into her eyes even more.
"Giving that I'm the strongest alpha in this surroundings, and you are a juvenile wolf that hasn't mastered even shifting?"
Ainsley face grows red like a tomato. Of course she caught every insult I threw her way.
This would have been her cue to leave, let me be, but no, Ainsley can't be gotten rid of that easily.
"I'll kill her.". She blurts.
"Excuse me?"
"If she is bothering you, Arthur, I won't hesitate to kill her," her feminine hands molds into fists on the table. "I can do it with just a knife, and I will bury her in the back of school. No one will find her.
Ainsley makes the most horrific threats, that’s why most of the girls in school don’t dare cross her part.
It's so ridiculous that I burst into laughter so loud that people turn to look at us.
“That will be about the most stupid thing I have heard you say, Ainsley. Go to your class, and let me worry about who is bothering me and who isn't," I stand up and walk away from her.
Is that a sniffle I hear as I go.
*******
After school, I throw my bag over my shoulder and go straight for my car, to avoid Ainsley and to go home and rest.
On my drive home, Kylian calls me, snorts at the call but I can’t ignore it, he will keep calling till I answer it.
“Hey whatsup, Kylian.”
“Hey Arthur, trust you’re doing okay?”
“Yeah I’m good.”
“And how’s school?”
“School is school, you know, teaching, reading, sports, stuff like that. Nothing new.”
“That’s very good, I hope you’re concentrating very well on your studies...”
This is the point that I just zoom out because it’s the same pet talk always. People are looking up to you, keep your grades up, be a good kid.
I have never brought a bad grade home, I don’t know why he thinks I’ll do that in my final grade in school.
I pull up in my house’s parking space, and Kylian is still talking. So f*****g boring.
“Yeah, I hear you bro. I gotta go, just got home. I need a lot of rest, talk to you later. Bye.”
I end the call not waiting for him to do that.
Driving my truck through the woods always puts me in a bad mood, but knowing I get to my bed in a few minutes makes it all somehow worth it.
As I cease the car next to my house, I notice a car parked next to my parking space.
It's a car that I don't see very often, but I can recognize anywhere.
“Arthur,"
I turn to see my step-father, Adrian, and my mother, Tori.
The two people I have been dreading to see again.
Whenever Tori and Adrian shows up, something has probably gone terribly wrong.
