2102 Words
"Stacey enjoy your first day. You're looking stunning dear" Marley hug Stacey standing on the porch of the house.
"Thank you.." Stacey hug her back feeling grateful of her gesture. She was ready to go back to school after two years and that means socialising with new people.
Due to her trauma and depression which got worst she took break from school work. Just before her high school graduation.
"Mom we're going to be late. You can continue later" Sam shouts in the car getting annoyed not wanting to be late on the first day.
"Bye take care.." Stacey wave walking towards the car. Immediately after she enter Sam drove away speeding up.
"Stacey see ya later.." Jess say walking out of the car heading towards her friend.
She sigh stepping out of the car feeling lonely and inferior in a whole new surrounding. She could feel eyes on her, some gaze burning into her. Staring at her weirdly, some whispering watching her curiously.
"Come on don't worry about them. It will quite down after some days" Sam came beside her putting his arms around her small shoulder pulling her away. Stacey did not understand what he means.
"That is the office you can collect your schedule there. Meet me at the parking later.." he yell walking away to a group of girls who glare at her. Looking so beautiful and hot.
She suddenly felt conscious of herself. Looking at what she was wearing. A beige colour long sleeve dress which reach just above her knee fitting her figure perfectly. Not wanting to wear skinny jeans and shorts.
The school vibe here was oddly different from her previous school. It scream out she was not meant to be here.
The way they stare at her, those cold eyes fills with disgust, resentment, rage glaring at her. Some with curiousity, sympathy, arrogant like she is inferior and weak. Only on strength of physical power but she have no idea.
Ignoring their cold menacing stare she focused on finding her class. She have a hard time searching for her class with no one to help her. Or even guide her.
The class was going well so far for Stacey. After two years. Even though she was not able to make new friends and despite all the stares and glares she was getting.
"Hey.. new girl" someone call her from behind as she walks out of the class to have lunch.
"Hi I'm.. Michelle. Are you going for lunch?" she ask Stacey smiling brightly at her. Looking so harmless and innocent.
"Hi I'm Stacey.." she softly replied back politely despite feeling slightly uncomfortable.
"You're a human? Come on let's go together. I'm hungry" Stacey frown at her statement.
Human? What is she then. She tried her best not to roll her eyes. She doesn't want the first person talking to her to hate her.
"Let's meet my friends first. I'll introduce you guys.. they're amazing you'll love them" she pull her hand dragging her into the hallway full of student. Not bothering to wait for her answer.
"Guys here.." she shouts waving to a group of students. Stacey pull her hand out from Michelle strong hold despite her fragile small looking body. Making her lost her step staggering falling back hitting on something hard. Rather on someone.
"I'm so sorry.. I stagger. Are you-" she immediately turn around apologizing panicking a little.
The words lost in her mouth when her eyes lock with the most mysterious enchanting hazel pairs. So mesmerising and beautiful yet dull and cold.
"My Luna.. My Queen" he whisper inaudibly. Staring at the girl infront of him. His wolf howling and jumping elated inside his head. His heart pounding so hard. It could literally jump out.
"Are you alright Alpha King? Student you should watch where you're going. Are you alright?" a man with the clearest pair of green eyes ask her. His voice loud and clear, with a hint of softness despite his hard rough appearance as he speak.
"Little girl are you alright?" He ask again his brows frowning staring at the human girl infront of her who stare at his Alpha King without blinking a single eyelashes.
"Uhh.. huh? I'm.. I'm alright" she replied back in her small soft voice. Which can make anyone wants to protect her. Adverting her eyes.
"Apologize NOW. You filthy weak human" an angry voice boom coldly making Stacey flinch.
Filthy? Weak? Human?
What is he saying? Stacey stare up at the gray eyes tall man glaring at her little form. The hazel eyes growl lowly glaring at the gray eyes tall bulky man. Who immediately lower his head.
How rude. She just apologize for her mistakes.
She could hear whisper and eyes on her. What a bad first school day. After two years of isolation from the society.
"I.. I'm sorry.." she whisper feeling disappointed. Not able to stand up for herself. It was her mistakes but she apologize? So why are they so rude?
"Detention" his voice stoic and hard, but it was soothing and beautiful to Stacey ears. She could basked herself in his pleasing enchanting voice. Wanting to hear more.
"What?" Stacey whisper once again losing herself in his mesmerising hazel eyes. Pulling her more further into his enchantment.
"Detention after class for five hours" her beautiful calm face slowly turn into a cute frown. Her cute eyebrows frowning into an adorable v shape.
"De- dete.. detention?" she repeat. Did she hear it wrong. To make her pay for staggering and losing her step. Five hour detention?
That was a first in her life.
"Your majesty you're here. I was about to greet you at the gate" a man in his thirty came running towards them. Looking frantic with a terrified expression. Sweats forming on his head.
Majesty? As in royal.. king majesty?
Who is the man standing before her emitting such strong power and supremacy. Like he can snap her neck anytime.
"What?" the man with the green eyes yell out looking so shock staring at the hazel eyes.
Jared gulp staring into her blue iris looking at them with fear and slight anger. Fear. She fear him?
His wolf suddenly whine in his head perking up to the front of his head admiring his mate.
"many unmated male looking mate. Mate only ours. Mate is going to run away. Stop mate" His wolf Alex yells in his head.
"What should i say. She fear me and she's not escaping me. Ever" he growl out stomping away without saying a word.
Stacey stare at his back slightly angry but sad as well for some unknown reason. She could see the panic in his hazel eyes.
"Little girl detention. Don't forget that. It'll be alright just wait for him to calm down. I'm Cameron pleasure meeting you Lu-" he stop himself from calling her Luna. She stare at him narrowing her cute eyes suspiciously. What was he calling her?
"Your name?" He ask her smiling down at her.
"Stacey.." she mutters not in the mood to talk anymore.
"Don't bother about them. They just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Enjoy your class Stacey. We'll be meeting soon" he walks away.
They just spoil her first day. To meet again gave a shiver to her spine. How much courage she took up to step out of her cocoon.
"Stacey you ok? You're lucky it was just a detention. It could have been worse" Michelle murmurs holding Stacey arms. Checking her out.
"I'm ok Michelle thank you. Let's go your hungry right?" Stacey distract her walking towards the canteen.
"Guys this is Stacey.. a new transfer. We're in the same class. Stacey this is Mike, Trace and his ma- uh girlfriend Helen, Grace and Frankie her boyfriend. And the last.. Stephen my one and only boyfriend" she introduce them sitting down on the table with their plates pile of foods.
"Hello.. it's nice meeting you all" she waved inhaling deeply. Trying not to remember her past.
"Come sit here. You're such a cutie. So beautiful and flawless" Helen says scooping away making seat for her.
"About earlier you're lucky I should say. Detention that was quite.. lenient. Touching the Al-" Helen hits Trace with her elbow shutting him out.
"Who was he earlier? Hitting someone by mistakes I don't think it was a grave crime." Stacey says playing with her salad not in the mood to eat.
"He is. Umm.. he's like the President of a country. He issues orders and commands. But he's much more higher than that. His status is something we can't ever reach. Looking him in the eyes only means you're courting dead. No one dare to look him in the eyes. It could be taken as challenging him and that's a grave mistake.. offending him is like you're begging to be kill.. he's just someone not to be mess with" Helen tries her best to make Stacey understand in the human way.
Jared the Alpha King. King of all werewolves. Thousands of werewolves under his rule, fearing him. Respecting him as their king.
"As years past by he got colder and more ruthless because he can't find his ma- umm his girl?" Michelle chuckle awkwardly stopping once again.
His eyes.. they were a pair of enchanting hazel. So lonely and cold. Empty. Like he have no purpose to live for.
"Guys let's eat first. Time will be out soon" Mike says stopping them from saying more than necessary to a human.
Stacey watch as they eat devouring their lunch. It was fully pile and the plates were extraordinarily big. They sure have appetite.
She sigh putting down her fork losing her appetite. Her appetite long gone with the hazel eye.

"Alpha the cars are ready. We can leave at any minutes" his beta inform him. He got up adjusting his suit.
"Let's go" his voice blank and cold as always.
Jared watch as the trees pass by. His third in command driving the car with his beta in the front seat.
He finally gave in to his mother persistent request of finding him a Luna. It was just the name. To provide a Luna for his kingdom, and to bear him a heir. The next Alpha King.
Alex his wolf was silent for one month ever since he agreed to be mated with someone else other than their true mate. He keeps on saying he could feel his mate. She was near but it was impossible to feel a mate. To know she was alive when they have not met.
A werewolf only after meeting their mate can feel their presence. But not before. This lead to many mates getting mated with their chosen mate than their given mate. When they could not find their mate after coming of age.
"Alpha King we're here" Beta Cameron says getting out of the car.
"Where is the Principal doesn't he know the Alpha King was coming?" Hunter his third in command says angrily finding no one to greets them at the gate.
"Let's do it quickly. I'm tired" Jared says feeling exhausted all of a sudden. He could feel Alex stirring in his head. But only his mere presence. He was completely silent for a month like he disappear.
Making it hard for him to shift.
All the student werewolves bow showing respect to their Alpha King. Paws and Claws High School the one and only school for Werewolves. All the werewolves under his rule sends their pups to the school. It was a school for werewolves to learn about their own, the changes taking place in the world and.. also to find their mates.
They only accept humans who are worth to be trusted. Recommended by a werewolves or an Alpha of a pack. Not an ordinary human can get enrolled in the school. It was too much risk.
Jared could feel the fear and respect emitting out on the young wolves as he walks by. No one daring to look him in the eye.
His wolf Alex suddenly woke up standing on his feet shaking his furs. His ear perk up sniffing in his head. Then he suddenly purr.. howling in his head.
"She's here.. my Mate is here" he suddenly speak out after a month of completely ignoring Jared.
"Finally decided to speak" Jared snap at him feeling dizzy as an intoxicating smell hits him.
A small body collides with him in the hallway. He was so lost focusing on the smell.
"Mate.. mate" Alex howl jumping inside his head.
