My Female Alpha

Chapter 4- Apparently The Lightning Silver pack aren't all bat s**t

(Kenzie's POV)

I walked into the office feeling pissed off that I was already having trouble, what the f**k was that girl's problem? 

It's not like I'm some supermodel that a guy like that would drool all over. I didn't exactly think that I would be perceived as a threat. I whispered over to Ty, asking him if he knew who that was. "That was Quinton Silver and his latest lady, I'm assuming" Ty said with a giant smile, hinting at how hilarious he found it that I had hardly entered the school before getting into my first conflict. 

I rolled my eyes at his joy and the secretary gave us all schedules. As we headed out to our classes, I couldn't help but worry about what the rest of the day had in store, apparently I wasn't really a "making friends" kind of girl. 

I had my first class with Mel and so we walked off together, wishing everyone else luck. We walked in and took a seat next to a pretty girl who was sitting reading by the window. She looked up and immediately gave us a huge smile "Hi, I'm Blair Silver she said reaching out... I'm so sorry on behalf of our pack, Ashley isn't really rational when it comes to my brother but she's actually not that bad normally. Please give us another chance." I laughed a little and shook her hand "I'm Kenzie and this is Mel". 

As we shook hands, it was super weird but I felt an immediate sense of comfort and she gave off a familiar, home-like feeling that was normal for me to feel with my close friends. 

She gave me a funny look, like she felt it too and then seemed to shake it off. "That's really not how things normally go here" she said gesturing around the classroom but obviously meaning the high school as a whole. "It's pretty chill and most of the packs get along. Every once and a while there's some kind of issue but what do you expect, we're werewolves." 

Her chatter stopped as the teacher came in and she turned to face him and listen. I turned with a shrug to Mel and sent her a mind link saying that apparently the Silver Lightning Pack weren't all bat s**t crazy and then focused on the Teacher.

(Quinton's POV)

I walked into my second period math class and the teacher was organizing us alphabetically meaning that Thunder and Silver sit directly next to each other. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew she was in the class. I inhaled, breathing in her intoxicating smell. 

I was never at a loss for words, yet as he assigned seats and sent me next to her, I felt nervous. She obviously wasn't feeling our mate bond yet which made me realize that she must not be 18 yet. I wasn't sure if I should say something about that but how do you really broach a "Nice to meet you, I'm your fated mate" conversation? 

I looked over but it seemed like she was trying to look anywhere but at me. I leaned over and whispered "Hi, we didn't actually get a chance to meet this morning, I'm Quinton." She smiled and said "I'm Kenzie" and the whole world seemed to slow down as I looked into her bright blue eyes.

(Kenzie's POV). 

I wasn't sure exactly what else to say but Quinton seemed to be completely zoned out and although he was still staring straight at me, he was silent. I wanted to wave a hand in front of his face and make sure he was good but instead spent the time studying him. If he was going to stare at me creepily, I felt it gave me the right to do the same in return. 

Dear god he was breathtaking, I wanted to lean over and nuzzle his neck. What the hell was wrong with me? 

The Teacher banged down a book to get everyone's attention and it seemed to jolt Quinton out of whatever he was so deep in thought about.

He looked up to the front. As he turned, I caught his scent and couldn't believe how good he smelled. It was like a combination of mint and forest that was both strange and familiar at the same time. It was official, I was losing it and I was definitely going to like this class. If I got to sit next to him, breathing him in all year. 

He kept stealing glances at me and I wondered if I had offended him this morning and he was waiting for the right time to chew me out. 

As we were given a few problems to work on, he leaned over and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a blonde that leaned over giggling and said something about how she had missed "her" Quinton all summer long. She ran her hands up and down his arms, feeling up his muscles and it made my teeth clench with anger. 

What was wrong with me, I didn't even know him, what did I care if he had a harem of girls? Blonde girls, I might add. Blonde, giggly, flirty girls. I wasn't any of these things and swallowing my annoyance at myself for feeling anything at all I thought to myself **self: take note, he has a harem of girls. You don't want anything to do with that.** 

Then I leaned down into the math and did my best to ignore him trying to catch my eye after that. I didn't want to be one of a harem. 

I wanted nothing to do with a man w***e and the last thing I needed was to be eyeing up another Alpha, who was obviously a heart breaker. It seemed like that was just asking for trouble. The bell rang and I booked it out and headed to my locker to meet up with my pack for lunch.

Izzy and I had been given lockers right next to each other and she was standing there waiting for me. She mind linked me as I walked up to see how it was going and I honestly didn't know how to describe how I was feeling about Quinton so I just said okay. 

She told me that Sean and Ty had already headed into the cafeteria to grab some food and that Mel was going to meet us there. 

We walked in and Ty and Sean had grabbed a table and a complete feast and I walked over to Sean knowing that only he would arrange so much food. I laughed and joked "You think you got enough?" and he picked me up, spun me around and said "anything for you my Alpha." 

As I was mid air, I thought I heard a growl and I glanced around and caught Quinton giving us death stares as Sean set me down. I gave him a little smile and a shrug and sat down to eat. 

As I unwrapped a cheeseburger, Mel and Blair walked in and Mel pointed at the food and said "want to help us with this?" Blair seemed to wait a moment (I assumed she was checking in with her brother) then with a surprised look said, "I'd love to" and sat down with us at our table.

(Quinton's POV)

I wasn't sure exactly what happened in math. One minute I was breathing in Kenzie's intoxicating scent and leaning in to mention what had happened this morning, letting her know that if the situation was reversed, I would have handled it similarly.

 Although I was reasonably certain that I wouldn't have walked away from that kind of disrespect as easy and I felt it was the right move. She'd established her dominance and acknowledged the disrespect without destroying Ashley. 

The next thing I know Samantha is rubbing her arms all over me and I'm shuddering in revulsion. This mate bond is serious stuff. I sent Samantha away and leaned back in to talk to Kenzie but she didn't look at me for the rest of class and then hightailed it out of there.  

I walked straight to the cafeteria and sat down with Jake, who seemed to find this whole situation hilarious. 

As we were mid conversation I looked up and watched her walk in. I completely lost my train of thought and then the really tall, red head in her group picked her up and twirled her around.  

I saw red and knew that my eyes were flashing! I heard myself growl and Jake reached and grabbed my arm to keep me in place. I was ready to go beat the s**t out of him, how dare he pick up my mate. Jake mind linked me to tell me to calm the f**k down because no one even knew she was my mate yet, including her. I shuddered and turned back to Jake trying  to settle my werewolf.

 I sensed my sister enter the cafeteria and she mind linked me to tell me that she had been in all the same classes as Mel, who was next in line to be the ThunderRun healer and was going to sit with them for lunch. 

It didn't shock me that my sister had already made friends with them, she was in training to be our healer and by nature just loved people and always tried to keep the peace. 

I responded with a "considering Kenzie is my mate, it's just fine." I could feel my sisters shock from across the room, as she sat down and dug into the insane amount of food they had on their table.
