Werewolf Elemental

Chapter Five

After the whole drama in the cafeteria. I managed to go through the whole day without being subjected by my daily bullies aka Onyx's friends. Maybe they got scared of his wolf or something? Orion can be a real mean wolf when it comes to people who doesn't treat me right.

"Where are you going, princess?" A nagging voice said behind me.

"Away from you, your highness."

Onyx ran ahead before turning his back and facing me, walking backwards. Is there a column here somewhere?

"I'll give you a ride since we drove here."

"I can walk. I ate too much carbs today so I need to burn them all." I said loudly once we passed by Melanie and Onyx's friends. They laughed but immediately stopped when Onyx looks at them.

"Don't listen to her. She's just jealous" He mumbles, looking down before stopping. "Don't let them get to you, Hals."

Re-adjusting my bag, I laughed. "They don't get to me. Don't worry. I'm tougher than all of them combined."

He smiles. "I know."

Did we just have a moment? Yeah, no.

"You giving me a ride or what?"

"Is that the way you talk to the prince?" He grins but never let me answer. We walk beside each other then before I know it, he's opening the car door and ushering me inside using his free hand while waving it dramatically. "Get in, princess."

Once inside the car, I turn towards him. "Stop calling me that. People might think..."

He hums, drumming his fingertips on the steering wheel. "Think were mates?"

My eyes widened. "Do they really think were.."

"Our wedding is already planned the moment we became best of friends, Hals." He teased, signalling the guard to open the gates before exiting the school compound. "Mother is already picking your dress."

"You're funny." I said, crossing my arms. "As if you want to be mated to me."

Onyx didn't respond but his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

"There are a lot of unmated wolves that wants to be your Queen. Oh! Queen Melanie!"

He winced by the mention of the squealing wolf. "Can you stop using her name and associate it with that title?"

I shrug. "That's what she calls herself. Imagine her being your Queen though."

"I won't. It'll give me nightmares."

"Sure will, bud. But imagine if we really are mates, surely my mom and Queen Alexandria will definitely throw a party. Gosh, I can't wait to meet my wolf then my mate. Wait.. you're birthday is coming up in a few days. That means, there is a possibility that we both find our mates." I stalled, watching his features. Is he always this good looking or am I just hungry? Yup. Hungry it is. "But it would definitely hurt everyone if we don't turn out to be mates."

He parks the car infront of our house, still staring straight ahead. "What if we are mates, Hals." Slowly, he turns his head to my direction. "Will you accept me?"

I was about to answer when a loud knocking on his window startled both of us as my Mom tries to see what we're doing inside. Nice try, mom. It's heavily tinted.

Onyx pressed a button and the window starts to roll down. He smiles at my mom. "Peaking through the window is bad, Milly. What if you see something you should not witness."

My mom gasps and screamed as she took of. "Oh my god! I have to see the Queen"

"And now, they're going to plan for the baptismal of our non-existent pup." Onyx laughs.

I scoffed. "Don't tell me things I already know. But, thank you for the ride."

Onyx smiles gently and watch me get out of his car and driving off.

We definitely had a moment.

Oh god.

Checking up my phone, I realized I forgot to stop by at Fatima's store to get me some sweets to nibble on and probably to bribe my Mom whenever I have to.

Rushing towards the busy streets. I carefully navigate my way and made sure not to bump into anyone. Like a freaking ninja.

"Oops sorry. Excuse me." I said, when I managed to bump into someone. The person looks at me and my eyes widened.

Peter's going to love him. He's a human. Yes! And his eyes are so ... blue.

Putting my hand on my mouth, I point at him with my other hand. "You're a human?"

The said stranger looks confused at first. "Uh yes."

"What are you doing here? Are you lost? Do you even know what we are? We can eat you... kidding." I stop seeing the horrified look on his face. "I'm Halsey."

"Se--Percy."

I blinked. "Like the son of Poseidon?"

"Uh yes?" He answered almost uncertain, eyes looking over wildy. "I have to go but it was nice meeting you."

Well okay. Nice meeting you too, stranger.

Fatima's Sweets is always full of kids regardless on what other say about her face. She's a kind woman and I treat her like my very own grandmother.

"I thought you're not going to be able to make it." Fatima greeted, carrying a tray full of what seems to be are brownies. "I saw Mildred running like her life depended on it just a few minutes ago."

Giving her a small smile. I grab a piece of brownie and pop it into my mouth. "Hmm. This brownies are amazing. I'll drop down on my knees and ask for your hand right now, Fatima. Let's get married."

Fatima giggles and points toward the kitchen where Onyx is busy whipping out freshly baked brownies from the oven.

My mouth drops as I watch him place the brownies that I just enjoyed eating into a cooling rack.

"He dropped by earlier on his way home. The Queen asked for some pastries since apparently the King is craving for it."

"Onyx baked these?" Gesturing the said dessert with both hands.

Fatima nods, a teasing smile plays on her lips. "So you should propose to him instead." She winks at me. "Onyx, come here boy. Someone wants to...hmm."

Those brownies are really good that it flew right into her mouth. Magic.

Guessing that Onyx heard her shout. He emerges from the kitchen with a cute apron that says 'Is there anything else you kneaded?' in bold letters while wiping his hands with a towel.

"Hals?"

"She wants to marry you!" Fatima blurted, chocolate crumbs flying out of her mouth.

Onyx bites his lip. Is that his best attempt not to laugh? Because it is not working.

"Said she'll drop down on her knees..hmm" Now a croissant went inside her mouth. She made some dramatic gestures about kneeling down that made it much worse.

Everyone inside the shop stops and watch the three of us. One, is currently re-enacting a marriage proposal with a croissant on her mouth. Two, is grinning like a complete i***t and kept on nodding his head. And the last one, me, who just stood there. Damn it, Halsey.

"What in the world is going on in here?"

Lo and behold. The Queen enters the cafe with my mother in tow.

"Halsey asked for Prince Onyx's hand for marriage and he said yes." A little girl said, holding her mother's hand before bursting into a fit of giggles.

I love kids. I do. This girl? An exception.

"Oh my god! We have to tell Magnus."

Oh no.
