Jia POV
I was so happy, Viktor agreed to train me. We were having a moment for ourselves, when there was a knock at the door.
Viktor sighed as Jake peeped inside. I tried to break free from Viktor but he held me tight.
"What do you want" he asked Jake, annoyed.
"Jia, you are not ready yet for school?" Jake asked ingnoring Viktor.
"She is taking leave today" Viktor replied, before I could say anything. Why is he being rude to Viktor.
"You promised me that you will help me find my mate" Jake told me.
"Did I?" I asked not remembering when I promised.
"Yes. You. Did. Now go and get ready." He said pushing Viktor aside. Freeing me.
"Ok, I will get ready." I said going inside looking at Viktor. He nodded towards me.

We were roaming around school with Jake trying to pick scent of his mate. Scent that will mesmerize him.
I was already late for my class, so there was not point in attending lecture. As if I was interested.
It was almost lunch time and we had still not found her. Perhaps Jake's mate is not in school. Jake suddenly halted in front of ladies washroom, sniffed hard.
"It's her, It's her I can smell her. She is inside" he said excitedly and started walking inside. I hold his hand.
"Hey! Stop. It's ladies washroom, and you still need to look at her to be sure." I told him.
I sniff
"Jake, she is..."
"Human!" Jake completed my sentence.
Having a human mate is a bit... complicated.
"Is she crying?" He asked getting angry.
He again started to go inside.
"Let me go in and check"
"Please be quick." He was getting agitated.
I went inside and saw a girl standing at the sink and putting some ointment on a really bad bruise on her hand. I looked at her face getting near.
"Brittany!"
She flinched looking at me.
"J..Ji..Jia.."
Brittany was the most troubled girl in the school. She always kept to herself, never made friends and was always scared of something. I had tried to talk to her many times but she never reciprocated. She was bullied by everyone in school.
She is Jake's mate?
I looked at her hand.
"What happened? Are you ok?"
"Ya..ya I..I am ok. I..I just fell."
Ya the cliched answer
"Umm lets get you checked, I.."
"NO I.. I am fine" she said scared.
This is gonna be very difficult. I just pray for Jake.
"Ok! Its almost lunch time. Will you come with me for lunch?"
She nodded and grabbed her bag. We went outside. Jake was pacing in the corridor. He stopped as he saw us and kept staring at Brittany.
Brittany scooted near me seeing Jake.
"Thats my cousin Jake and Jake this is Brittany." I introduced them.
She looked at him and said 'Hi' which was hardly audible.
Jake took a deep breath and went stiff. I knew, what that meant.
We went outside in a cafe to eat an talk. Brittany was reluctant but agreed to my relief. She was hardly eating anything and kept stealing glances at Jake. Was she able to feel the bond? Jake somehow had gone unusually quite after looking at her bruises. I cleared my throat to say something.
"Brittany, I know you didn't fell. You can tell us what happened."
She looked at me with horror and started crying. I hug her patting her head
"It's ok, we are here. Don't be afraid." I told her looking at Jake. He was clenching the fork in his hand. He was having hard time controlling his wolf.
"My..my.. stepmom... She and my stepsister harass me and make me do all the house work and if I make any mistakes...they... they punish me."
Ohh goddess! We have our very own Cindrella. But not to worry her prince charming is here now.
