His Possession or His Princess

Five | All Alone

I storm out of the cafeteria. My wolf is furious that it was even suggested for us to move on and not search for our mate anymore.

I can feel the itchiness of my skin as my body desperately wants to shift. My wolf is howling in my head and begging me to give into my instincts and to go home early. The only reason I don't is because of my mom. Although she wouldn't punish me, she would be really disappointed in me and I don't want to upset her. 

I growl in frustration, but I make sure to do it soft enough that no one except for another wolf would be able to hear me. The wind blows and I take a deep breath to try to calm myself when I smell the most intoxicating thing. I turn around looking for it. It’s a tropical scent- almost like pineapple and coconuts?

It reminds me of the last family trip my family had before my dad died. I begin to follow the smell needing to know where it belonged to. But just as soon as it came it was now gone.

My wolf, Kane, whimpers loudly in my head and I wince from the sound. But I know that I caught a whiff of my mate and I need to find her now more than ever. I need to mark her as mine and let everyone know I am taken.

I run towards the direction I thought it came from, but I still can’t find it anywhere. The bell rings loudly and I pout knowing I’m going to have to give up on the hunt for her right now. I walk towards the school and hear Kane whimper again in my head and I reassure him: Don’t worry, buddy. We’ll find her. We’re closer now than we’ve ever been.

Kane responds back in a gruff voice: If you let me out, we’d find her now!

I chuckle and respond back: Patience, Kane, you and I both know mom would be pissed if we shifted. This school has humans too who don’t know about our kind we have to stay down low.

Kane grumbles in my head and I rush to get to my next class. I see Eric who is looking depressed now without his mate and I can’t help but notice Alexander on the other side of the room glaring at us. I smirk and nod towards Alexander and his jaw clenches tight and he looks away from us. I’m not sure why he seems to be against me, but it’s not something I want to focus on right now.

Right now, all I want to focus on is where my mate could’ve gone off to.

The next day came much quicker than I would’ve liked. I’m feeling good today though so I’m going to dress up a little. I find a pair of comfy black leggings and pair it with a dark purple blouse that has a little bit of shimmer in the fabric to stand out a little. I spray some perfume my dad got me. I keep this around me at all times. It’s my favorite scent and my dad buys it special for me because we don’t get to see each other often due to his busy work schedule. So, it helps me think of him and remind myself that he works so hard for me.

I get to school and hurry inside and I’m surprised that neither Britt or Olive meet me at my locker, and I can’t help the hurt that bothers my heart. Instead, as I’m pulling my last book out my locker slams shut, and I jump back and see Haley smirking at me.

Her blonde hair is pulled up into a tight ponytail and her clothing is tighter and shorter than usual. It’s odd for her, but my guess is that there’s someone that she’s trying to impress.

She sneers at me, “What do you think you’re doing?”

I sigh, “What are you talking about, Haley?”

She looks me up and down and says in disgust, “Your outfit.”

I glance down at my outfit- I thought I actually looked good. She comes closer to me and says in a low voice, “It doesn’t matter what you do. My brother will never take you back, you fat whore.”

She tugged on one of my sleeves making sure to hear a ripping sound. My eyes widen and she smirks and shrugs, “Oops.”

With that she walked away, and I sigh sadly I wish that Olive and Britt were with me. I walk to my next class already wishing that this day was over with.

Thankfully there were no more incidents and it’s time for lunch. Although Olive is back in classes with me today Eric was there too, and she completely ignored my existence and focused on her new boyfriend.

I get my food and begin my search for where I’m going to sit. Since Olive and Britt have apparently forgotten about me, I’m a bigger target for Haley and I want to make sure I stay away from her.

My eyes dart to the table that is slowly growing into a much larger group. Both Olive and Britt are over there, and Olive is hanging on Eric’s arm and Britt is hanging on to the red heads arm and since I don’t know his name for now, I’ll just call him Red.

In the center of the group though is that guy that looks like Adonis. I can’t keep my eyes off of him and once I see Haley rush up to him and wrap her arms around him, I force myself to look away. My heart hurts a little by watching that interaction. I shake off the feeling- I’m obviously getting overly attached to a boy I haven’t even met.

I walk towards the exit to go out to the tree I sat at yesterday and I take a look back at the table still in shock that my friends have abandoned me.

I see Alex walk in and a girl I don’t know jumps up and wraps herself around him. The girl is gorgeous like a freaking goddess and my stomach churns at the sight of seeing him move on with someone that is obviously more attractive than me.

I heave a heavy sigh and walk out to once again have lunch by myself. Maybe I'm better off all alone. No one can hurt me this way and once I leave for college it'll be easy since I won't have anyone other than my family to say goodbye to.
