Seraphina
One week later
When my alarm went off the next morning, I cheerfully got up and got ready for the day super excited to learn more about werewolves. Little did I know what the subject was gonna be-.
“Oh come on you loved it” Zuko said once again interrupting my writing. “I would have preferred to learn it from you not a from a teacher in a class. No offence to Delta he did explain it perfectly.” A sigh came from the doorway to Zuko’s and my room.
“Ahh young love
Bitten by the rose’s thorn
Giving the lovers’ their first blush
Powerful imagery stirring memories
Of first love, of true love” Ezio recited oh so poetically.
Yes, my sarcasm is making a comeback. “That was a poem written by Kelly Rose wasn’t it?” I asked. “Oh come on how do you always get that right?” “It probably has something to do with her being 5,043 years old.” Zuko commented sounding a little pouty. “WHAT!” Ezio exclaimed shocked “I think I need to go lay down” he continued. “Laying down will have to wait Beta.” And a third voice joins the fray. Am I ever gonna get some writing done? “What is it Delta Mace?” Zuko asked using his Alpha voice. “A few witches and warlocks are at the border, Alpha, they said that they are here to talk and that the incident they caused was a misunderstanding.” “Understood” Zuko said “Got to go sweetheart” he continued placing a kiss on my lips. “Be safe” I replied. “Always am” he returned. Internally I was doing a fist bump finally some peace and quiet. If you want to know about the issue we are dealing with you will have to read the next book which won’t be out till I complete this one but I already know what I am gonna call it. It will be called, drum roll, Shadow High: Enchanted and it will mostly be told by Ezio and his mate. No, I will not tell you who his mate is that would be a major spoiler. Now back to my story…
I hustled into Werewolf 101after I finished my tasks that Vlad bestowed upon me. Like literally bestowed, he elegantly handed me some papers told me what to do and I am surprised he didn’t bow with how regal he was treating me. It was as if he thought he was treading on thin ice. Perhaps word has gotten out of me yelling at my cousin. Ha ha woops, maybe I took it a little too far but for some reason it bugged me to no end being thought of as James boyfriend and I don’t know why. Could it be because I can’t take my eyes off of a certain werewolf man who happens to be seated right next to me in Werewolf 101. I quickly wiped my mouth after realizing I was drooling. Literally drooling. This has never happened to me in all my years. No man no matter how handsome or smart even could get me to pay attention to them. I was starting to think that no man would ever catch my eye. But Zuko oh how I shiver in excitement just after thinking his name. I shook my head dragging a kicking and screaming self out of those thoughts so I could focus on Werewolf 101 as I entered the classroom and took my seat.
The bell rang signaling the beginning of class and Delta Hrodwulf began his lecture. “Today we shall talk about how a werewolf’s wolf chooses’ a mate. Wolves, ordinary wolves choose a mate or female companion by instinct of survival. But werewolves choose one that satisfies its wolf’s needs such as an Alpha needs a strong and/or wise mate to take on the role of Luna. A Luna is in a sense a second alpha who takes charge of similar tasks as an Alpha. Mates of the Beta or Delta are similar to that of an Alpha. The mates of other werewolves are usually chosen to satisfy their wolfs emotional needs. For instance, say one werewolf we will call John suffers from depression. His mate than by consequence will be a human, vampire or werewolf that can counteract the depression.”
“Yes Seraphina”
“Did I hear correctly that vampires can be the mates of werewolves”
“Yes, you did. Matter of fact Vlad a vampire teacher at this school happens to be mates with my daughter.”
“If one is mated to another how do they know?”
“Very good question Seraphina. The answer is that, going back to our example let’s say John’s mate is a vampire named Fiona. John’s wolf upon seeing her will probably say Mate in Johns head or out loud. John then would want to do anything, be anything that his mate needs as well as he would immediately, even though he does not know Fiona, will have feelings for her and want to protect her. Fiona on the other hand not having a wolf, will probably feel attracted to him, A need to be around him, or just simply have a crush on him.”
Is that what this is? Is Zuko my mate? If so why didn’t he tell me and explain it to me? I would have preferred that to having a teacher explain it to me. Could it be that he was worried how I would react? The bell rang and like usual everyone sped out of the room lightning fast. Normally I am not among them but today I didn’t want to risk talking to Zuko. Being a little angry that he didn’t tell me himself.
“Is that why you ignored me the whole day?” Zuko asks peering over my shoulder. “Yes, it was. Is there a reason you are here?” I asked a little annoyed at being interrupted. “Yes, actually Luna I need your assistance on a matter” I sighed “Alright be right there” I guess I have to go do Luna stuff, but I guess I was done with the chapter any who. Thanks for reading.
