Torn Between Two Mates

Rex's Pov My father's bang on my wooden door caused me to jolt out of bed angrily. It wasn't the first time he had done this and whenever he did, I got furious. However, I was expected not to grumble because I was an alpha in training. Today was a totally different scenario. My usually squeezed face turned to my alarm clock to notice it had been ringing all through the morning. At that moment, it dawned on me that dad wasn't attempting to break my door because of training, rather, because I was almost late for school. "How did this happen!" I exclaimed, dashing into the bathroom with one thing on my mind: how to get to school before the morning bell is rung for classes to begin. I didn't bother to spend much time in the bathroom as I felt my heart pounding hard with every passing second. I knew my father and how crazy he could be. After quickly getting ready, I rushed down the stairs, greeted both parents, grabbed my car keys and rushed down to the garage. It was quite a relief that my dad didn't start his usual fuss this morning. As always, mom tried to persuade me to have breakfast but I managed to make her understand how tardy I was already. Getting into my car, I checked the watch on my wrist to discover I had only twenty minutes left to get to school. "My school wasn't far from home so it wouldn't be too hard," I concluded in my head, starting my car and zooming off like I was in a movie where I was being chased by police vehicles for breaking the law. My fast thudding heart increased its pace when I arrived in the school's driveway two minutes early. I knew the consequences of arriving late and I wasn't going to take those chances. My father would kill me if I got detention. I ran madly through the school's hallway, taking sharp turns without considering who might be in my way, when suddenly, something big hit me. The strong feminine scent that hit me caused me to stop in my tracks, as I took in what seemed to be the scent of sweet strawberries. "It's probably perfume." I thought to myself, but I was proved wrong when an angelic voice jolted me out of my thoughts, bringing me back to reality. I was late for class but I couldn’t divert my attention away from the petite figure in front of me. “I’m sorry.” She apologised to me with her voice which sounded perfect for lullabies, covering her face before running towards the ladies' room. I gazed at her and I could feel my inner wolf ready to take what belonged to him, "Mate!" I exclaimed excitedly and, even though I had no idea why, I knew for sure I was still mesmerised by her scent. I wanted to go after her but my legs failed me, it was as though they were glued to the ground. I watched her run down the hallway before the morning bell drew my attention. It was time for classes. I walked slowly to class, my head being occupied by whom I had just seen. I knew I was late already, but did it matter? I had just found my mate. I didn't get to see much of her face, but those lips looked so juicy. I noticed she wore glasses and I didn't care because I was lightly swooned. Still in thoughts, my mind scanned the popular chicks in school. I was hoping one of them was my mysterious mate. Then again, none of those girls would settle for the dress style of whom I had just met. "You're late!" An average old man with grey hair and huge spectacles spoke to me with a stern look on his face the moment I walked into the class door. His hand held a huge rod that he used to instil discipline in stubborn students. "I'm sorry Mr Adams, I happened to run into some kind of issue, I promise to make corrections." I spoke calmly to him, my throat dancing up and down as I gulped down the nervousness I was feeling. I could sense the gaze of everyone on me and Mr Adams as my faith was being decided in his mind. "Sit down!" he spoke authoritatively, his eyes escorting me to my seat as tension built up inside of me. Once I had taken my seat, I inhaled deeply before noticing the note on my table. I could see Charlie smirking weirdly at me while pointing at the note indicating I should read it. I picked up the little piece of paper and it read, "You were really lucky." to which I nodded, still wearing my serious face before focusing on Mr Adams. I needed to be serious so I could beat the mysterious person who was always taking the overall position in school. I was trying so hard to be focused, but my encounter with the angel earlier played like a looped tape in my mind. I kept smirking all through the class and when Mr Adams threw questions at me, I struggled to answer because I was lost in thought. Charlie often gave me worried glances and I was sure I was in for a serious interview later. After what seemed like forever, the class bell went off, causing Mr Adams to exit the class. Once he was gone, Charlie rushed to my side, snapping his fingers to gain my attention. His eyebrows were furrowed and his usual playing expression turned serious, "What's going on," he questioned, scanning my eyes while acting like a badass detective. I smirked at Charlie before boldly telling him in a calm tone, "I think I've found my mate." "What!" Charlie chuckled loudly, "Is that so, tell me all about her?" He commented, causing my wolf to growl in disapproval. Charlie, who took note of my disapproval, gave a hearty as he teased him. "Someone is overprotective today," he was smirking while he kept his hands crossed. "No I'm not," I replied, wearing a serious expression, "And I do not know who my mate is, I didn't get to see her face well enough, that's why I need your help." I finally told him. "Hmm…"Charlie hummed romantically, "What do you wanna know? Your Alphaness."
