The Alpha’s flame out of reach

I woke up to only one thought, Jacob. Deep down I had already known he was my mate but yesterday confirmed it. Walking up the steps to school I got a strong scent of a fresh spring rain with a hint of maple. S**t, I know that smell, I said to myself. My feet carried me straight to him before I could think straight..then there he was, his arms wrapped around her..Agatha, and our eyes lock and he knows. “Go to him, he’s our mate” Vivian tells me. “I can’t Viv, mate or not I’m not going to cause a scene here, I’ll wait.” “Whatever” she says then disappears. As hard as it is I take my seat across the room and do my best to ignore him but my body is betraying me. I can feel his eyes glued to me and all I want to do is go to him..it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do anytime I was around him. I quickly try to distract myself with homework but my thoughts take over..what would it be like to run my fingers through his ginger hair? To kiss his lips? Run my tongue up and down his..f**ck no stop thinking this way what is wrong with me? Ughhh it’s going to be a long day. I need to keep my distance, maybe I’ll just play sick and go home. After class I went to the nurse and convinced her I needed to go home, with a knowing look on her face she knew I was lying because wolves don’t get sick but I didn’t care I needed to get out of here. I walked into the my house and made a B line to my room so I could bypass the “why are you home from school questions”. I shut the door and quickly locked it and flopped on my bed. It was the first time I’ve ever been thankful I don’t live in the pack house as it’s only allowed to house the Alpha and Beta families. I was a mess, my head was trying to catch up with what my heart already knew but why would the moon goddess mate me with someone so powerful when I’m the exact opposite? He’s the Alpha’s son and will soon take over the pack. I come from nothing, me nor my family hold any kind of title. We are what the humans call lower class but I don’t mind it. Makes me grateful for what I do have. That being said it doesn’t stop the bullying that comes with it, I’m short and my wolf is small but we’re both mighty. I hear the remarks I get at school when no one thinks I’m listening especially from Agatha. She’s the Beta’s daughter and has been givin everything she’s every wanted and it’s exactly the reason she bullies everyone that is below her. The ones, like myself, that get her rath call her Hagatha, because that’s exactly all she is. Her and Jacob’s father agreed the two will be chosen mates so they can have strong heirs but what they don’t realize is once you find your destined mate there’s no stopping the pull between the two and there’s no rejection that can be done. This is going to be something..I say out loud. No one will accept me as their Luna I just know it. I wonder what Jacob thinks of this. After what seemed like an eternity lost in my thoughts I decided to get up and go for a run. I need to feel the ground beneath my feet and hopefully that’ll give me some clarity. “You ready Viv?” “Hell yes I am, we both need this” and just like that I shift and see Viv’s auburn fur take over and her paws were smacking the forest ground like there’s no tomorrow. We ran, as hard and as fast as we could, until we reached our spot. I found this cliff when I was a kid wondering the woods, it overlooks the Appalachian River and the forest on the other side. The sunsets are beautiful but the best part of this spot is the full moon the cliff sets up so high it’s almost as if I could almost reach out and touch it. Maybe I’ll just stay here forever..seems like an intriguing thought but eventually I know he’ll come looking for me to say what though? We’ve never really talked before but there were times I would get lost in staring at him, then he locked eyes with me. His fiercely blue eyes turn my knees into spaghetti noodles and it was if he knew how he affected me with the smirk he gave me right before he turned away.
