Your Special Beta Mate

Alison Pov:

I walk out of the room to see Jackson, Alex and Luca standing in the corridor. Jackson has a emotionless facial expression but I can feel that he’s worried. “Hey Jackson is everything okay?” I try to reach him but he steps back. “I’m fine I have to leave” What? Jackson start to go towards the stairs. “Jackson wait” He can’t leave without saying anything. “Not now” He doesn’t even look at me. “But-” Jackson cuts me off with a really cold and harsh voice. “I said not now!” I feel my heart tightening, it hurts even my wolf is taken back. Jackson’s face softens a little when he saw the hurt on my face but he doesn’t say anything just puts his face back on and leaves. Why? I feel like crying, my eyes get wet. I will not cry! Luca looks at Jackson enraged if he wouldn’t be walking away he would definitely punch him in the face.

He’s gone somewhere, he didn’t even tell me that.

Days go by but he doesn’t text, call or show up, nothing.

There have been this weird tension in the air but no one is telling me anything. Not even Luca.

In few days it would be my birthday. I was actually a little excited by the thought of spending it with Jackson but it doesn’t seem like it now. 

I have been feeling depressed these past days, just thinking about Jackson. I haven’t been in school nor outside of my bed room. Nothing feels right. 

But weirdly it’s not just because of the incident. It’s like something big is going to happen, I know it will it’s my birthday and alpha has been extra alert. But there is something else, something that no one is noticing expect for me. 

Someone is knocking on my door. “Alison, please let me inside” I hear Teresa plead. I have locked the door so no one can come in. I don’t move I have been in my room now God know how many days without eating anything only lying in my bed. Maybe I should let Teresa in. I walk really slowly to the door, it feels weird to walk again. It takes really long time to the get to the door, once I open it I can’t see anyone, guess I was too slow. I start to put the door shut when Teresa who’s sitting on the ground puts her foot between. She raises really quickly and hugs me, but then pushes me away and crunches her nose. “Eew, you smell like death and dirt clothes” Teresa invites herself in and sits on the bed, I follow her, slowly. “Wow you’re like a zombie now days, I guess he didn’t make you satisfied.” Teresa smirks at me but stops when I show no reaction. She stands up and hugs me once again. “Oh honey, here’s some food” She hands me an apple, I raise my eyebrows at her. I haven’t eaten anything for days and she gives me an apple, just an apple nothing special just an apple. “Don’t look at me like that, you haven’t eaten in days you can’t just r**e your body” I roll my eyes to her but then start eating. The most unnecessary apple in my whole life. “Thanks” But all that actually escaped my lips was a weird sound. Teresa throws her hand up in the air in victory. “She speaks!” “Or something like it” She murmurs right after.

“Have you even thought about coming outside? your room I mean, girl ain’t going anywhere far while looking like this” Teresa looked at me while pointing on my whole figure. When I wasn’t answering or making any kind of gesture her hands fell down by her sides and sighing deeply. “Can I atleast tidy you up?”

After about two hours, without my permission, she had cleaned me up, changed my clothes and now she was brushing my hair in front of a mirror standing behind me. I looked at my reflection I could actually recognize myself, or kind of I maybe had started to forget how I looked like.. 

“You know what? Tomorrow, on your birthday. It’s going to be full moon, uk how cool that is. Full moon on your 18 birthday!” Teresa who hasn’t said anything while fixing me up now all of a sudden sounded overly excited. “Cool” Teresa's movements froze at the sound of my hoarse voice. This time she didn’t comment on it. 

“Done! Are you ready for some pizza? I ordered your favorite!” Surprisingly the idea didn’t sound that bizzar now, or then it was just because that pizza is heaven and I really just want something good on my tongue after the apple. I nod my head with a emotionless face at Teresa to which she does a silent victory dance.
