"WHAT?!!"
Wow I was expecting him to over react, but not this badly. I haven't even said where I'm going and he already has a worried and stressed out look to him.
"What do you mean you have to leave? Omigod, you don't have to be a part of the council or worse become Queen, do you? f**k, f**k, f**k!" He pauses, looks at me and narrows his eyes at me.
"Please tell me your lying, you have to be lying." I roll my eyes at him.
"Will you shut up and let me explain. God, you sound like an overprotective mate." I wait for him to respond,
"Fine, please explain why the f**k you have to leave." He keeps twitching, so, I think his wolf is pushing to get out.
"Thank you." I scratch my head not knowing how to tell him this without causing him and his wolf to flip out. "You've heard about the attacks on the packs, right?" He nods, "Well, it was brought to the attention of the council and supposedly they want to send five alphas to Paranormal Academy." I look at Mo for confirmation, when he nods I continue, "So. I guess they decided the Alphas they wanted to send before the topic of me came up. Moises didn't expect them to bring me up, thinking that I was excluded from all of this, but the council has other ideas, and now I have to go to the Academy. Yay." I say the last word with enough sarcasm to flip over a train. I look over at Collin to see him thinking really hard, at least it looks like he is.
"Can't you just not go there. Tell them you won't and be done with all that s**t?"
"I wish, but unfortunately they thought I might deny them so I either go or fight Mo to the death. And I don't want his death on my conscience so..."
"When do you leave? And who's going with you?"
"She leaves tomorrow, I'm sending guards along with her, but no one else is allowed to go unless they must."
Collin glares at both me and the king.
"I'm going too." Collin demands. It's a bit sweet that he wants to go with me and not stay with the pack, but also even more ridiculous.
"You know you can't come with me. Who'd take care of the pack?"
"Tayson can, who's going to watch over you? Who are you going to talk to you and who's going to wake you up every morning?"
I can see how bad Collin wants to stay close to me and protect me so I do something a bit out of character for me. I walk over to him and hug him.
"Look, I know you don't want to me to leave, but this will be good for both me and you. I might finally have the chance to be a bit if a normal teenager. Make friends, have a relationship, and so many other things." I look him in the eyes and tell him this, "You need this too. You'll be able to learn the ropes of the pack without me hovering around you. You'll have free time to do whatever you want. You can hang out with friends, go on a little road trip to take a little break from all pack things. You can do whatever you want. So, see this is a good thing, not just for me but for you too. Oooo maybe I'll finally get a full 12 hours of sleep.
Collin just stares at me for a second and then he sighs and smiles.
"I don't like this, but I kind of agree with you. Time apart will do us both good, especially you." He looks at Mo, "How long will she be gone?"
Hmmm. I didn't even think about this I just assumed it'd be for the school year.
"It'd be for the rest of your high school years. Of course, over Summer break you're welcome to come home, but otherwise you won't be allowed to come home. Since it's so far away."
Ugh, mother f*****g headache. Why couldn't it just be a year. I'm already resigned to doing this, but this is just a little too much for me to process. Collin seems to be resigned to me going too, cause he doesn't freak out or anything.
"Where is the academy anyways?" I don't know why I don't know already, it's common knowledge that Paranormal Academy exists, at least to the wolves it common.
"That's top secret." Moises says and winks at me.
"Yeah, and that's not at all creepy." I say super seriously, then laugh. "Oof, I should pack, and prepare to tell the pack I'm leaving for the school year" I open the door and walk out when I remember Carly Telki.
"Collin we need to go talk to Carly. She's still alive right?" By the look Collin's giving me I know she's not. It's sad, if she wasn't the rogues mate she would still be alive and probably happy. This kind of stuff is what makes not really want a mate. Sure they're your soul mate and are your perfect match, but having to deal with there over protectiveness and other baggage. I already have a brother and the king I don't need another annoying person in my life. It's already busy enough.
"That's unfortunate, but there was nothing we could do, I guess." They both nod and I continue, "Will you tell the pack there's an emergency meeting in the field in an hour? K thanks." I quickly run off after I finish telling them this.
〜〜〜〜
30 minutes later I'm all packed and head outside to find Collin. I find Collin and he's talking to one of the annoying bitches in the pack. She also has slept with every easy 17 year old straight guy. So, being the amazing sister I am, I walk up to the girl with a glare and push her away from Collin taking her spot.
"Why'd you do that?" Collin asks and I give a duh look.
"I did you a favor, everyone knows she slept with lots of guys and is ruthless when she wants something. I don't know why you'd talk to her in the first place. She's beyond rude and disrespectful." I pause and say, "She's even bitchier than I am." He looks like he's thinking over what I've said, when Kate walks up.
I give her a gigantic smile and tell Collin a quick "bye". I need to tell Kate about me leaving before the whole pack finds out.
"I have something important to tell you." I look up at Kate who's a bit taller than me, maybe 3 inches or so. "I'm leaving, I have to-"
"What do you mean you're leaving? Like you're going on vacation for a week or something?"
"No," I try to smile, but I just can't get my face to do it. "I'm leaving for the rest of the school year. I have to go to Paranormal Academy per the council's request." She looks on the verge of tears.
"Just this year?" I can't stand looking at her right now, she just looks so sad.
"Um, no. I have to go for the rest of my high school." She looks up at me and starts to let the tears run free.
"Hey, don't cry. I'll be back for Summer. And I only have three school years left of high school."
"When do you leave?" She's started to calm down a bit, but I don't know how she'll react to this.
"I'mleavingtomorrow." I say really fast. She understands and looks down at me. She has tears running down her face and more pooling in her eyes.
God, I have no idea what to do. I'm horrible at this kind of s**t. I look at my watch trying to come up with a reason for me to leave. I look at my watch and notice it's seven o'clock, which means all of the pack should be here. And I need to tell them why I called them here.
"Kate, Kate look at me. I feel really bad, but I need to go tell them I'm leaving too. So, I'll talk to you later?"
"Yeah. Go. We'll talk later." I turn around and bump into someone.
