After a brisk 20-minute walk, I get to school. I look for my best friend Jasmine. She is going to take over as Alpha of Ivory Moon soon after her 18th birthday. Both of her parents were born from Alphas. on the day she becomes Alpha, I will be her appointed as her Beta. when that day comes, Frank will be screwed. He has no idea that during my spare time, during lunchtime, I have been working out and training. He thinks I am weak and pathetic, and im okay with that. It will be a great suprise the day i kick his a**e. unfortunately, that means keeping it from mum as well. This way, I can beat him at his game, and Mum can then reject him. I love my mother, and I hate seeing her like this. I wish I could do something now.
I finally spot Jasmine, Sabine. My wolf wags her tail frantically. "Simmer down girl," I say to her. "Bite me," she remarks sarcastically.
Jasmine runs up to me, arms wide open. you would think by the way we greet each other, we haven't seen each other in years. She has been by my side since birth... Literally. My mum was in the room next door, giving birth at the same time. we are basically twins.
we ended our hug and continued to our lockers. she knows we are doing it rough at the moment, but her father won't do anything about it. he says that Frank is the only person he can trust to be his beta and doesn't want to risk losing him. So we have to wait until we can take over.
Maths class is really dragging today. don't get me wrong, I love Maths, but today seems like the clock has stopped or is starting to go backwards. I'm already ahead of class. I cluster study on the weekends when Frank isn't home. I was behind this time because last weekend Frank threw a party and him and his mates completely trashed the house inside and out. I just wanted to practice today. we have 3 weeks until we are 18. I need to be ready. I have to be.
Lunch time finally arrives, and I have changed into my combat gear. I tie my auburn hair up in a tight ponytail. I haven't shifted yet, so I can only fight in my human form. I scan the crowd waiting for my mentor. Beta Tristan, from blue moon pack. He is already 18 and the best beta and warrior I know and agreed to help me train since I was 13. after he learnt what was happening at home, he was adimate I needed to fight back, unfortunately i tried and got my a*** handed to me by a very drunk Frank, so I was taught intensive self-defense by Tristan. I was getting stronger by the day. last week, I kicked his a**e at least 8 times.
I spot him, but barely. around him were 5 cheerleaders. ugh. they wear more make up then a clown on a bad day. and the amount of perfume they use stings my eyes and burns my nostrils.
Tristan looks around frantically, He then spots me standing near the willow tree with an amused look as his big brown eyes were pleading with me to help him.
I roll my eyes and sigh as I make my way to the oval to go rescue him. " Hey sexy," I say, barging through the girls. I put my hands around the back of his neck and press my body against his as I whisper something into his ear. he grabs my waist with his hands and places a soft kiss on my forehead. he hasn't found his mate yet, and I haven't become of age, nor are we dating. we are both saving ourselves, but the cheerleaders don't know that. it's fun toying with the pretty girls. "Hey beautiful," Tristan plays along. "What do these girls want? are they trying to get what's mine?" I ask in a bitchy tone, I turn around, cross my arms across my chest and glare at the group of girls who now look absolutely annoyed. "F**k off" I spoke in a non chalant kind of way.
"Thanks" Tristan says. he ran his hands through his black curls. "how can I ever repay you" he than mocks me. " you can start by letting me kick your a**e again." I say amused." hahaha your funny, bring it in princess." within 5 minutes he was flying into the tree. "D**n girl, your going to be better than me." He moans as he picks himself up. "sorry," I wince at how hard I threw him. "I didn't mean to kick your a**e that badly." I held put my hand to help him up. "But then, you taught me everything I know." I smile at him as he takes my hand, and I help him up from the ground. I wince again as I look at the tree, seeing the big crack in it. oof. Tristan laughed. " Yup, I only have myself to blame there, but still, how dare you be better than me at it?" he feined. I put my hands in front of me in surrender." Again, not my fault." I say laughing.
when lunch ended, we started walking back to the classrooms. I had gym now anyway. ," you would think, a big tough Beta like you would know how to take care of 5 whiny girls." I say teasingly .
"Shut up," he says to me." Now, why would I do that? are you too embarrassed that you were a damsel in distress?" I start laughing as he shoves me slightly. " me? A damsel? pfft your dreaming princess." we laugh and parted ways to our classes.
