Royal Crescent Moon

Hell

History was pretty much a drag. Katie and I talked the whole lesson. I found out she was going to get another tattoo, on her back this time, inspired by yours truly. I was happy to know how much my new friends admired and payed attention to me. My happy mood was soon killed when I found out I had gym next. 

But my mood was magically lifted when the clouds blackened, and it started pouring rain. Katie and I stalked to the gym were the teacher gave us the option to chill on the bleachers or play basketball. I was starting like this school very much. I found Mike chatting to Izzy in the middle of the bleachers. We sat down to join them when more people walked into the gym. And somehow the Goddess decided to torture me some more because in walked Jace and Sophie. Jace mumbled something to Sophie that made her laugh. Sophie ran up to the bleachers to sit next to me and Katie. Aiden then walked through the door, halting Jace to his seat. I turned to open my back and pulled out my speaker. Katie gave me a wicked grin. This was going to be a fun lesson.

I turned my speaker on and hooked up my phone. I shuffled my playlist to find a suitable song to play. Jace glared at me and started to walk up the bleachers, step by step. Before he could even make his way up to me, I grabbed Katie’s hands and twirled myself around. She stood up, laughing her ass off and started to dance with me, hands in the air. Jace's jaw clenched, desperately trying to hide his smirk. Fine then. If he was going to be stubborn, I was going to try harder. Katie and I started singing, causing the whole of our group to sit around us. Mike and a random guy started handing out Twizzlers and Sour Straps. He passed me a Sour Strap, mid dance, and Katie and I were singing at the top of our lungs. Everyone was laughing and having fun. Even the rest of our class seemed to take notice but continued playing Basketball. I looked at Jace to see him sitting next to Aiden, arms crossed. He looked salty. Good. 

I decided to torment him for this morning. I turned my back to him. Katie started swinging her hips and that gave me an idea. I started to copy her, hands in the air, bending my knees and swinging my hips side to side. Giving Jace a full view. She laughed catching onto my movements. It worked because I heard a soft growl from behind me. I spun around and focused my attention on Jace. His eyes were switching from green to black and no one seemed to really notice. I gave him my most innocent and sweetest smile and turned to face Izzy. I stepped up one step and grabbed her hands. I was singing and dancing with her on the bleachers until the song ended. I kept my speaker on, just turned it down. I sat next to Mike, with Izzy on my other side.

"You seem to be living life right now, compared to this morning. Are you sure you don't have bipolar or something?" Michael joked. I smiled and shrugged. He laughed and turned to face the random guy next to him. He had ashy-blond hair and brown eyes.

"Oh, Anna, this is my friend Ricky." He said.

"Hey." I said, holding my hand out.

He shook it. "Hey, nice to meet you." I smiled a reply.

"So, Mike tells me you’re from Europe?" He questioned, trying to make conversation.

"I actually don't know where exactly, I was never told." I admitted, motioning to Reese who was walking up to us with Esme. She stepped up the steps to join Izzy when Reese started talking to Ricky and Michael. I was about to turn my attention to Esme to talk to her, when I felt someone take a seat behind me. Before I could turn my head, Jace pulled me from my seat to steal it and sat me on his lap. I sighed in annoyance as I swung my legs on Izzy's lap. She turned her attention to me and smiled. She looked at Jace and that's when I remembered to ask,

"Hey Izzy, why do you call Jace Bell?" I made sure to have a smug smile on my face. Izzy returned it.

"Because it's his name." She replied, excited to start some trouble.

"His name is Bell?" I asked confused. Now I was just curious.

"No." She giggled. "It's part of his first name, Jace is his middle name." I snapped my head to Jace who was sending Izzy daggers. Maybe she wasn't supposed to mention this.

"Jace is not even your first name?" I said, starting to get up. "What the f**k man." I stood up and pushed his chest. Why did anyone not tell me this?

"I could say the same for you." I turned my head to the voice who butted in. Reese.

I pointed a menacing finger at him while I gritted my teeth. "No, you wouldn't"

"Wouldn't what?" Jace eagerly smiled at Reese and he returned it. Jumped down a step and ran to Reese to cover his big mouth. I glared at him, but he only smiled.

"Tell me his name." I turned to Izzy. She only moved her eyes to Jace, who was slowly getting up. She put her eyes back on me.

"Isabelle." Said my unnamed mate.

He snapped his head to Reese before she could answer. "What about Anna? What did you mean, Reese?" He asked determinedly. I shined my now silver eyes at him, letting Keelie growl. He did the same. I almost never revealed my eyes, especially in Kingston, where people would ask questions. He grabbed my hand to move it but I shoved my other one on his mouth to replace it. Then I heard a voice inside my head, mind-linking me.

"Why can't I tell him Denny?" It was Reese. I jumped a little at the unexpected sound. I've never really mind-linked with anyone before. I'm so glad no one could hear us right now.

"Why not a name for a name? I tell him yours and Izzy tell you his." He tried to compromise. I ended the mind-link, we will talk about the fact he could even do it later.

I turned to Jace to reply to him, after my silent conversation with Reese. "Anna is an abbreviation of my first name. But I'm not going to tell you it, so don't ask." I smiled. He then let go of Izzy's arms.

"Fine. Because I'm not telling you mine." He spat, crossing his arms intimidatingly. Oh, that wasn't going to work on me, I knew he was just a big baby.

"Fine, I got my sources." I sneered.

"I have mine too." He looked at Reese.

I smiled at him and turned to Reese to compromise. "Don't tell him my name and I won't tell everyone yours, Darius. Because only Esme knows, correct?" I placed my hands on my hips, whispering lowly. He got off the ground and rolled his eyes.

"Correct." He grumbled. Reese then stalked over to Esme frowning. That's because Esme was on her back, clutching her stomach, having a laughing fit. I started to join her as I looked at Jace's frustrated face.

"This is all your fault. You didn't tell me your name." I tried to get out during my laughs.

"I already go by Jace, and you didn't tell me yours anyway." He muttered back in defeat. I tried to make my way over to Izzy, but Jace grabbed me to pull me into his lap. This man will be the death of me.

"You’re the Devil." He said quietly, nuzzling into my neck to take my scent. I moved to straddle his body and chuckled.

I leaned down to his lips, nearly touching. "Be prepared Bell, I'm going to give you hell." I kissed him on the cheek and pulled away from our embrace. I grabbed my bag and Izzy's hand and we started to walk to the cafeteria. I looked over my shoulder to see Jace pulling out his hair, head back and resting on the seat behind him. I'm literally going to give him hell.

----

Izzy and I left class early. More like I dragged her out of the gym with me away from Jace. We sat down at our groups table in the cafeteria. She started laughing about the fight we had in the gym about Jace's first name. Then she started pestering me about mine.

"Annabelle?" She asked.

"Nope." I said, making a popping sound. "You’re never going to get it." I chuckled. But seriously, she wasn't. I hadn't met anyone in the world with the name Deanna. We quieted down before she asked,

"Anna, I'm really worried about you. Why rage every time you see that ass, Luke?" I stopped moving.

"It's just-" I started but couldn't finish. She nodded and turned to face me.

"Sometimes it's better to tell people instead of keeping everything in." She said, worry plastered all over face.

"I just couldn't stand there and let him do that to that poor girl! And every time I see him I start remembering..." I trailed off from my rant. She grabbed my arm, pressing her fingers into my flesh.

"Anna! If anyone did anything, you can tell me or-" She said, eyes widening in terror.

"No, no, it wasn't me." I held her hand assuring her. I took a deep breath, willing the memories from that secret vault locked inside of me to come out to the surface.

"When I was 14, I was going to Kaitlin's house, my best friend." I started as I closed my eyes. I held her hand tight. "Aaron dropped me off and I walked to the front door, but before I could make it, she ran out the door, screaming. She ran up to me, hiding behind me." I let out a shaky breath.

"Then a man walked out of her house. He was one of her older brothers’ friends," Izzy held my hand tight, knowing where the story was going. "He walked up to us and Kaitlin just started screaming, screaming for us to leave, for him to stay away. She told me- She told me he touched her, that he tried to... have his way with her." Tears were sliding down my face, but I wasn't finished.

"He took a step toward us. One step, and I lost it. I completely snapped. I shifted and I... I killed him." I whispered nonchalantly. Her eyes widened. She was probably going to start screaming bloody murder, so I instantly recoiled. But to my surprise, it was the opposite. She grabbed my shoulders, rather viciously, and hugged me tightly. I couldn't stop the strangled sob that escaped my mouth. She pulled me in tighter.

"You did it to protect her, to protect yourself." She whispered understandingly.

"But he only took one step, one step! And I killed him! Ripped him apart." I yelled in a shaky voice and I put my arms around her. She comforted me until the bell rang. I pulled away from her to wipe my face clean of tear and she looked into my eyes.

"Aaron found us, took us to their pack house. I went with her to the pack nurse and she wouldn't let anyone touch her. Not the doctor, not even her own parents." I muttered quietly. She hugged me again and stared into my eyes with understanding.

"You should tell Bell about this." She said.

"You should tell me his name." I smirked back, despite my puffy face. She rolled her eyes with a smile on her lips.

"If I tell you, will you tell him what you just told me?" Izzy tried to compromise.

"You can tell him yourself and he probably won't do anything." I laughed. She frowned.

"Of course he would, he's your mate." She said, brows bunching together in confusion. I waved it off.

"Fine I'll tell him and take the whiplash." She sighed in annoyance. I laughed at her as the cafeteria started to fill with people.

After a while, she leaned in and whispered into my ear. “His name is Bellamy. Bellamy Jace Reid." I snapped my head, rather harshly in her direction.

"Bellamy..." I tested the name on my lips. It gave me even more tingles then the name Jace. She just patted my shoulder at my shocked reaction.

"Give him hell for it babe." She grinned. I grinned back; I was indeed going to have fun.

----

5 minutes later, the group walked into the cafeteria from the gym. Lastly, Jace walked in talking to Esme and Reese. My face dropped. That bastard I call a brother better not have told him my name. I shot up from my seat and skipped over to interrupt them.

"Hello babe." I said as I leaned onto Jace's chest.

"Babe?" He asked, a smirk on his lips. He had no idea what was coming next.

"What?" I looked at him in confusion. I reached up on my toes and started nipping at his jaw, then his neck. "Would you rather I called you Bellamy?" I whispered in his ear. He went tense, completely froze. I put my arms around his neck and looked into his pretty eyes. They were wide with shock.

"What the f**k?" He whispered, staring into my eyes.

"Bellamy it is then." I smiled. I spun around and walked back to the table. I sat in my seat next to Izzy, with Ricky on my left. I put my elbows on the table and placed my chin in my hands. Izzy looked at me and then at the door of the cafeteria. And there Jace, or Bellamy, was standing. Still frozen in shock. I laughed and laughed. It was hilarious. I held my stomach, not caring that I was leaning on Ricky, and had an all-out laughing fit. I couldn't open my eyes, mostly because they were full of tears. I was then picked up by a pair of arms. I opened my eyes to find Jace staring at me. He picked me up, bridal style, and kicked Izzy off her seat. She stood up and slowly turned around. Jace growled at her. But she growled back, and I just laughed. He sat down, facing his back to Ricky and placing my against is chest.

"You... You should just stood there, you should've seen your face!" I tried to say in between laughs. He growled back, pulling me close to him. I kept giggling, unable to contain my laughter. My phone went off and I picked it up to see a Snapchat from Danny. I immediately answered it. I took a photo of me and Jace, making sure I saved it and sent it to him. The next time I tried to take a photo, he hid his face into my neck or on my back.

"Now you know my name, isn't it fair you tell me yours?" He whispered huskily. He was holding me so tight, trying so hard not to lash out in rage. This made me laugh even more.

"My name is Anna; don't you already know that Bellamy?" I answered smartly, using his name. He growled at me. A type of growl that would make a wolf cower in terror, that made the whole table go silent. I just continued laughing and laughing. Everyone was so confused, giving me weird looks.

"His...His name." I explained in between breaths to our table. Michael's mouth shaped into an 'o' and turned back to his conversation.

"Just tell me your name." Jace groaned in irritation.

"The only people that know it are my family, Emily, Jake and Danny." I said smugly. I turned my head back to my phone to see Danny's name calling my phone. I could feel my face pale. I slowly got up and turned to Jace who was smiling. s**t. s**t, s**t, s**t. I got up, grabbed my bag and bolted. Jace got up and ran after me. I held onto the door frame and swung around the corner. Why did I have to do that? I just had to open my big mouth, didn't I? I ran down the hall, dodging random students from left to right. I could hear Jace behind me, so I picked up my pace. I turned right to see the glass doors that led outside to the fields. Then I forgot it was f*****g raining. How lucky am I? I bolted for the door anyway and swung them shut behind me. I ran for the stairs that guided up to the grassy fields. But an arm gripped around my hips and pulled me back. I slipped my phone down my shirt and into my bra before he pushed me against the wall.

"NO!" I screeched and squealed. I tried to kick him, but I stopped when I saw the mischievous smile on his face. He looked adorable. I smiled at him as he locked my hands against the cold stone wall. He towered over me and I rolled my eyes at the dirty thoughts that floated around my head.

"I can smell you from here Anna, you better calm down before I won't be able to stop myself." He whispered in my ear. I tried to swallow the lump in my throat.

"Why is that Bellamy, you don't like the smell of it?" I questioned, biting my lip so I would stop smiling for once in my life.

"Stop doing that." He bunched his brows together. "And I can't stop myself because it smells too good." He complained, almost pouting. I almost didn't know what to do. But then I wrapped my arms around his neck to wrap my legs around his waist. He pressed me against the wall, so I reached my torso up and put his head into my neck. He inhaled deeply and shivered. I chuckled leaning back onto the wall.

He frowned. "Stop doing that." He pulled my lip from my teeth himself. "And stop teasing." He gruffly added, rather frustrated. I laughed and laughed.

"Well, did you learn your lesson Bellamy?" He rolled his eyes, either at his name or my comment. Maybe both. He shook his head before looking into my eyes to give me a devilish grin.

"What do you mean? What lesson?" He asked. He knew what I was talking about. Knew that I hated what he did last night at the party, when he teased me this morning and when he tries to pull me away from my fights like I can't protect myself. I punched his shoulder. He groaned but he barely moved. How was this guy so solid? I erased the thought from my head before I wrapped my arms around his neck again. He snaked his hands to hold my thighs as I kicked my legs around, rather childishly.

"Awww, did you miss me Bell?" I pouted. He leaned in closed to my face.

"You know I did Anna, now give me your phone." He demanded, hand out.

"You’re going to have to get it." I said, swinging my legs. He looked down at my chest, realising I stuffed it in my bra. I smiled at him smugly. But to my dismay, he just shrugged his shoulders.

"That's not going to stop me." He pressed his whole front into mine, to hold me against the cold wall behind me. I gasped at the contact. He started smirking like an i***t. I instinctively tightened my legs around his waist to support myself. Jace started to move his hand and lifted my shirt. I froze, not knowing what to do. I wanted to grab my phone, but I didn't want him to stop. His hands went under my shirt and touched my skin. His fingers trailed tortuously slow, up and down my ribs, causing Goosebumps. Heat started to knot at my stomach. He sensed my lust and I felt his hard-on pressed into my core. His fingers found the hem of my bra, lightly running a finger over the strap. I lifted myself higher onto his hips impatiently. He chuckled and lifted them hem and his fingers slipped in. His hands brushed against my under boob, then he found my phone. He pulled it out and he removed his hands. I whimpered at the loss of contact. He lifted me impossible higher onto his hips. He started kissing at my jaw. I moved my head to the side, granting him more access. He trailed hot kisses down my neck, then reached my collar bone. He started to lick at my tattoo and it was driving me crazy.

"I should have marked you last night." He mumbled. My eyes widened. He really should of, the only thing stopping him was that I was drunk. I mentally slapped myself for being a f*****g i***t. He pulled away and his lips brushed against mine. I could feel his hot, minty breath on my face. The heat in my stomach started to move to my core. I couldn't take it anymore. I can't spend another minute teasing him. I quickly latched my lips to his. It was a soft, loving kiss at first, then it turned possessive. I opened my mouth for him, and he gladly entered. His tongue passed every surface of my mouth and I loved it, craved it. Jace tried to pull away, but I bit his lip, bringing him back. He growled menacingly. When we finally pulled away to breath, I realised we were at school.

He grinned. "Finally."

"Whatever." I muttered, more like grumbled. He laughed in return and set my down on the ground. We walked through the glass doors to walk the halls back to the cafeteria. He held my hand and I gripped his arm. One guy left a lingering look when he passed. That only earned him a growl from Jace.

"Territorial bastard." I murmured, more to myself. We entered the cafeteria and walked to the table I went to sit down and Jace sat behind me, pulling me close. I stubbornly rolled my eyes before leaning on him. I quickly ripped my phone from his hand before he could remember his question.

"Don't worry babe, I'm going to find out sooner or later." He muttered against my head. My stomach fluttered with butterflies at his little nickname for me. Then I found myself closing my eyes. Maybe 5 hours of sleep didn't help. The bell rang and I had Biology next. The rest of the day went fairly quick. By the end of the day, I kissed Jace goodbye and thanked him for taking me home and I was in Reese's car heading home to face my parents.
