"Please lead the way and I'll really appreciate if we could hurry up but I guess it's no point asking someone like you" she mutters her voice lowering down. Jared overcomes with a feeling of sadness overflowing him. She could not recognised him.. nor feel him.
"Is that 'someone important' your boyfriend?" Jared ask holding his breathe. If she said yes. He'll kidn*pped her right there and then. She'll never get to meet him again.
"NO.. uhh I mean it's none of your concern" she shouts out but clear her throat awkwardly. Why doesn't she like the thoughts of him misunderstanding her?
Jared lips tuck up a little feeling of joy overwhelming him hearing her answer. While she stood fidgeting her hands. He turn walking away knowing she was tagging behind him.
"It could be any other but not you.." she mumble pouting her lips. It is evidence they are not compatible. Why would someone as fit and handsome like someone like her. With a dark emotional and traumatically past.
"Why not me?"
'Because you're out of my league' she thought to herself not daring to speak it out.
"You're arrogant, rude, hold grudges not for me. You're just not my cup of tea.." too expensive for her to have a taste. She don't want to be left with over flowing debt tasting something not meant for her.
"Are we there yet?" She ask softly feeling guilty looking at him. He looks sad. But why?
Was she so straight forward. Rude?
"No.. at this rate we can't reach" he suddenly turn grabbing her hand walking towards his private office in the school.
A soft gasp escape her lips feeling a tingling spark on her hand where his warm hand touches. He smile feeling the tingling spark giving a pleasurable shiver on his body. This is how it feels to touch one's mate? Now he understood why his beta love skin ship with his mate. He never want to let her go.
Too stunned she did not protest him holding her hand. Instead a smile creep up staring at their hand.
"Sit there" he lock the door behind them pointing towards the dark gray couch.
"Why are we here? This is an office not a classroom" she says getting alert. Not making a move to sit down.
"No. Don't take it the wrong way. Think it as another way of punishment no.. not a punishment.." he trailed off not knowing how to describe it.
"What are you going to do?" He watch as she stood alert. Like he is a threat. Screaming danger on his forehead.
"I just want to talk. We start off the wrong foot I just want to talk sorting it out. Trust me" she could only see he was serious. With a little hint of hurt. He is really obscure.
She nod nevertheless. She don't like the look on his face. Droop. Sulking.
"We can gain her trust slowly. It's just a matter of time and honesty. We can't mark her now.." Jared response back.
"She trust us. Let's mark Mate" Alex nag again. So persistent to claim her.
"Not now. She agreed to talk not trust us. Sleep don't disturb us now" Jared was happy even though she don't trust them now. But she agreed. That was a good start.
"You selfish king she's my Mate too" he growl back at Jared.
"Don't you want her in our arms sooner? Then stop bugging me. We can't just mark her now" Alex whimper going back to the back of his head.
"I'm Stacey. Stacey Melon" she introduce herself sitting on the couch.
"Wow it's soft" she murmur to herself her face brightening up. Touching the soft couch.
"Stacey Melon" he repeat. Her name rolling smoothly in the tip of his tongue. Like it was meant to be.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful lady.. just perfect for you" he compliment his voice turning husky and low. With a beautiful smile. Stacey couldn't help the blush rushing up. It was a first someone smiling at her so lovingly and genuinely. That also from a very fine handsome man.
A sexy smirk appear on his face seeing her flustered face.
"I'm Jared Osoff pleased to meet you.. Stacey" he settle down opposite to her. His hazel eyes staring back at her.
Her mouth part slightly staring at him surprise. Emotions swirling in her blue iris. Elated. Blissful. Astonish.
"What are you.. going to make me do? Write down self criticism? Study? Lecture me?" She ask him snapping herself out from his enchanting abyss.
"I can't accept it just like this. Let's be frank here. Foremost, I apologize for hitting on you and that was a mistake. I stagger losing my stand and you just appear out of nowhere. Second, I'm not fully to be blame. I acknowledge it and apologies and it wasn't even intentionally. I don't know why you're caught up in this.. No matter how high your status is or the power you hold. It holds no value if you can't see through a mistakes. No one will respect you.. but only fear you" he growl making her flinch.
What's with him growling? At home Sam growls a lot. Even Tom like a puppy.
"No. Please don't take it the wrong way. I'm not lecturing you nor advising you. But I feel so unfair to get punish for a mistake.. and I just can't ignore the fact that everyone around here were extra cautious of you. Like they fear you.." the looks everyone gave her when she hits him by mistakes.
It was like she commited a grave crime.
"It's not a punishment" he growls glaring at her.
"I know but that's different from what I'm trying to say.." she whine a little. Her voice soft. Jared sigh running his long slender fingers through his silky dark brown hair.
"What about you. Do you fear me?" He ask gulping hard watching her anxiously. Nothing matters only her answer. He needs to know whether she fear him.
"Mmh.. to be honest I think partially yes" his cold icy stare can freeze her paralysing her whole body. He flinch hearing the words coming out of her mouth.
Alex whimpering in his head.
"You're tall and looks well built. If I piss you, you will break me into teeny weeny pieces. .. and the two bulky tall men besides you. All of you appears so coldly intimidating. The gray eyes looks so angry like he was going to snap me out of life.. how he raise his voice shouting-" Stacey keeps on blabbering everything. He growl his eyes dark narrowing at her making her flinch.
"Who shouts at you?" He ask raising his voice heavy and deep. His eyes narrow dark. He looks terrifyingly scary.
"Stop it. You're scaring me" she shouts back closing her eyes.
"I'm sorry.." he looks down clenching his fist. She sigh. He can apologize?
What is she doing with a man when she was bound to stay for detention?
"Then can I go now? Detention was not even needed from the begining" she shakes her head lightly picking her bag standing up.
He growls making her stop abruptly.
"Are you still keeping me for detention?" She asks softly looking surprise.
"Are you not scared of me?" He asked back with a hint of happiness and surprise. His voice coming out rough then he wanted.
"To be honest again.. I don't think I do" she stare at him not daring to blink. Missing the eye contact. His eyes is like a magnetic pull pulling her closer and closer.
"If you were to hurt me you would have done that from before. When I start pointing out. But no.. here we are having a casual conversation like we were friends for so long and you're the first stranger.. I talk to for so long after.. two years" she softly whisper the last part. But he heard it.
"So Mr Osoff can I take my leave now? I need to be somewhere important.. where someone might be waiting for me" adjusting her dress she say.
He smile feeling amused. She is more mature than he thought. Understanding, good at solving, she have the ability to talk something out without pissing the other party. Perfect to be between werewolves. Short tempered beast.
She have the quality to be a Luna Queen. His Luna Queen. Kind and considerate. He have seen her interacting with the nerd that everyone choose to ignore but she didn't. How she treat his wolf form. Bringing him the best meat quality though it was expensive.
"Jared. Call me Jared.." he say staring deep into her eyes with a small smile. Stacey blush blinking trying to snap out from his handsome face.
"How about we let the past stay in the past and start over Stacey?" He hummed softly raising his eyebrow looking so hot and sexy. Stacey nod not able to form any words.
Jared gave his signature sexy smirk. Winking at her.
"Drive safe. Don't speed down the road you'll tired yourself out.." Jared say standing right infront of her tucking a hair behind her ear. Brushing her red ear slightly.
Stacey tense flustered all over. Jared grin loving the affect he have on his mate.
"I-I I'll b-be l-leaving.." Stacey stammer running out of the room leaving Jared to chuckle after her. That side of his mate was cute.
"Jared. Wood. Mate is going there" Alex say urging him.
"I know. We'll be there before her" Jared say calmly excited to meet her again.
Stacey hearts thump rapidly as she ran out of the room. Her face hot. His smiling face plastered on her mind. She smile nibbling her lower lips. Happy they talk it out.
She ride away towards the woods. Nervous to find the spot empty. But to her surprise her Cookie was laying on the ground. His eyes close. She slowly went towards him not wanting to disturb his sleep.
"Hi.. sorry I must have disturb your sleep" she grin happily at him sitting beside him.
Jared immediately lick her cheek nuzzling his head in her neck. Stacey chuckle rubbing her wet cheeks.
"I'm glad you missed me too.. you must have been lonely. But as a compensation I have something for you" Stacey takes out the pack meat on her bag. Jared cringe at the sight of the pack meat.
"You must be famished? Go on.. it's all for you" she open the pack meat pushing it towards him. Jared tilt his big head staring at his mate.
"I'm not hungry.." she shake her head. Even though she was how can she possible eat with him eating a raw meat right infront of her. She shiver at that thought.
He shake his head pushing it away. Stacey shrug it off thinking he might not be hungry. Jared snuggle his big head laying on her lap. Stacey smile stroking his fur.
"Maybe you'll love to meet someone else. I have a pup-" Jared growls cutting her sentence. Snarling his teeth at her. Who dare touch what is his.
"Mate have pup?" Alex growl possessively standing up. Wanting to eliminate the threat between them.
Jared felt betrayed. Angry. His mate have a pup?
"Are you ok?" Stacey ask softly staring back at him concern. His eyes soften. He lay down in her lap again. Only her touch can calm him down.
"I'll bring my puppy to meet you soon. You'll love him" she pat his head. Jared sigh she doesn't mean her Pup but a puppy.
"Sometimes I wish you can talk though that might be strange enough. I don't feel comfortable interacting with others.. but with you and a certain someone I don't feel that distress anxiousness. The wants to run away. I feel.. safe?" She murmurs softly in a daze with Jared watching her intensely.
"When I was young every time I run away from people either friends, relatives, classmates, strangers.. anyone. That solicitude, anxiety never leaves me. The feeling that everyone is looking at you. Pointing at you. Talking about you.. I was overcome by that feeling. In the later point of my teenage year.. I went overboard to the point I solitude myself from everyone. I feel save in my small confine room.. until my dad could bear not more.." Stacey keeps blabbering her past completely unaware she was digging out her dark past.
