Cursed Love

Chapter Four

Zoey's POV

My first two classes went so slowly. I didn't have these with any of my friends. So I sat in my seat quiet, waiting for the dreadful classes to end. My next class was my favorite. All of my friends were in there. Karen, Jasper, and my brothers. A few other people I talked to, also. It was health, and we usually talked all period. Learned not only about the anatomy of our bodies, but also about certain things wolfs go through. Including the mating process, wolf control, and things of that nature.

SOS. SOS. Meet me in our spot.

The message came from Zack. There was about 20 minutes left in this class so I excused myself and headed to 'our spot'. It was on the school roof. It was where the crew would hang when we skipped class. When I arrived, I found my youngest brother pacing and kicking pebbles around.

"Zack? You okay?" I asked cautiously. He whipped around to me. His face showing just how stressed he was.

"No, not even a little bit." He said.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"I found my mate! A guy, Zoe! A f*****g guy!" He yelled. Oh, okay. Now I see why he was stressed.

"Let's just calm down, Zack." I said

"I'm not gay! Why is my mate a guy? It's a guy!" Zack was not calming down.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Danny! It's f*****g Danny!" He's got a potty mouth today.

"Okay, you're not gay. But the person who is literally you're soul mate is. Your mate is a guy. That doesn't make you gay." I said, even that sounded stupid to me but it called him down.

"I don't have any problems with him, but he's a guy. Zoey, how is that fair to me?" Zack asked, sighing.

"Have you rejected him?" I asked, hoping he said no.

"No, as soon as I realized it was him I ran here." Zach said and I sighed in relief.

"Do you want to?" I asked, hoping again he'd say no.

"No." Zack said quietly.

"Here's what you should do, talk to him. Let him know that you're not sure how you feel about it and you wanna take everything slow. Okay? No need to rush anything." He nodded, figuring my advice was pretty sound. We sat there in silence, leaving each other to our thoughts.

"Come on, let's go. We have health next." I said with a smile. Danny was in that class too. Maybe they could talk after. I didn't realize how long we were up there, it was obviously longer than 30 minutes because my last class class had ended and Health had started.

"Just because you're the Alpha's children, doesn't give you an excuse to be late." Tommy said as we entered the classroom. I froze, what the hell was he doing here? Zack looked at him shocked. Tommy was never like that with us before. "I'm the sub for the day. Sit in the available seats."

The only seats open were next to Danny and Jasper. I went and took the seat by my mate and got my health book out of my bag. "What page are we on?" Jasper didn't respond. Hell, he didn't even look at me.

"Page 64." Karen whispered from the table next to me. Looking at Jasper with the same confused look. I flipped to the page. Oh great, we're in the Mating Bond chapter.

"Zoey, what triggers the mating bond?" Tommy asked from the front of the room.

"A touch between mates triggers it, but all you have to do is lock eyes to know if you're mates or not." I said, not looking up at him. I didn't want to have this lesson while he was teaching it. Tommy moved on with the lesson but I barely paid attention. Jasper's behavior was starting to concern me.

"Jasper." I whispered, trying not to draw attention to myself. He didn't acknowledge me. I touched his hand and he pulled away harshly. "Jas?"

"Zoey, stop talking and pay attention." Tommy said, I ignored him.

"Jas, look at me? What is going on with you?" I asked. Again no response.

"What happens when someone kisses a different person after the mating bond has started?" Tommy asked and Jasper raised his hand.

"The mate feels pain. Worse if their mate has s*x with someone else." Jasper answered. Okay, so he can hear. Why was he ignoring me?

"Jasper?" I tried again, my eyes started to burn with tears. What the hell had happened? It had only been a few hours.

"Zoey, I'm only going to warn you one more time about talking." Tommy said and I glared at him. I don't care what he wants or says.

"Jasper, look at me." I said, trying to get him to at least look at me. I could feel my heart beating in my throat. What the hell is going on?

"Okay, that's it. Detention, after school!" Tommy said slamming his hands down on my desk. I looked at him, my eyes starting to turn gold, meaning I was losing control of my wolf. A person having golden eyes means the wolf is in control. Black eyes are reserved for Alphas, Betas, and Gammas when they are giving commands or their wolves are in control.

"If you think I'm coming to your dumbass detention, then you must be as stupid as you look." I growled out. The class watched our exchange in shock. It was no secret Tommy and I had a close relationship. To see him acting like this was a big shock. We glared at each other until he gave up and continued on the lesson.

I tried to take calming breathes, to get my wolf to submit. She was going crazy in my head. I closed my eyes. Slow breathes, in and out. In and out. Tommy appeared back in front of me. "Now you're sleeping in my class? Get out."

"Tommy, what the hell?" Zeke yelled. I looked at Tommy, my control thinning. I didn't argue because I knew I'd snap. I collected my things and went out into the hallway. I waited there until class ended, trying to talk to Jasper. When the bell rang, everyone filed out. Jasper got down the hallway before I even realized he left the room. I called after him but he just kept walking. I followed behind him, but he turned the corner before I could catch up.

Just as I was turning the corner I was hit with pain. It stopped me in my tracks. I looked up and saw Jasper kissing Cynthia. Before I could even process what I was doing, my wolf took over and Cynthia was slammed into a nearby wall.

"Let me make this perfectly clear for you." My wolf said. It was my voice but had a gravely tone to it. Oh, my wolf is pissed. She wrapped her hand around Cynthia's throat. "You touch what's mine again, even look at him in a way I don't like, and you'll be wishing you were never born. Do you hear me?"

Cynthia nodded but it wasn't good enough for my wolf. She slammed Cynthia into the wall again, "Use your words."

"Okay. I hear you." Cynthia said. My wolf dropped her and gave me back control. Cynthia landed on the floor and scurried away. I turned to look at Jasper, his eyes hard. "What the hell, Jasper?"

He just smirked and turned away. He walked down the hallway, away from me. I could feel my eyes start to fill with tears. I knew this stupid mutli-mate thing was a curse.
