Chapter 8
I didn’t even eat breakfast this morning I needed to get to her before she left, and my house is a good twenty-minute walk to hers and if I’m going to make it there without sweating then I have to leave now, I looked at the clock and it was seven thirty am. I will make it with plenty of time if I leave now. I got to her door with ten minutes to spare, I did a pit check
“All good” I said with a sense of accomplishment,
“okay, go time”, I said rubbing my hands together
“Go time?” my wolf said sarcastically rolling his eyes at me, I ignored him and knocked on the door, one of her friends opened it.
“Hi, is Scarlett in?” I asked as a matter of curtesy, as soon as the door opened I knew she was there and I knew precisely where in the room she was, her scent was seductive and it called to me, she emerged from the bedroom wearing a loose caramel skirt, a tight white t-shirt, and a sweater, she looked so good, I just wanted to take her away from here and just have her all to myself,
“Hi Aiden, what are you doing here?” her sweet voice bringing me from my daydream
“I came to escort my lady to the hall”, oh man I sound like a douchebag I thought to myself,
“But she is your lady” my wolf mocked; I raised my hand to her ignoring my wolf completely and she took it and electricity coursed through my veins, I pushed that hunger away and walked with her keeping my composure as much as I could, I felt her tugging her hand and, man, it turned me on,
“How do you know which house I stay in?” she asked.
The truth was that I arranged for her to stay at that house, but she would never believe that.
“Are you sure you’re a wolf” I replied, feeling a bit of soreness in my heart, how can she not scent me, I am hers and she is mine, maybe I need to show her what she means to me,
“the only thing I smell here is you, in this whole campus the only scent that calls to me is yours, I will know where you are as long as I live” I said feeling a weight lift off my shoulders, my heart felt free, it is true I could scent her all the way from my house, if I concentrated on her scent and her scent alone, I could tell if she was moving around or standing still, she is mine and I will protect her always.
She stopped, bringing me back to reality, she looked deep into my eyes, and I looked into hers, she had the most beautiful hazel eyes I had ever seen, she pulled her hand away, and it felt like I had lost an important part of me. I couldn’t take it anymore, I needed to feel her in my arms again, I needed to taste her,
“Bu…. but it’s only the first day of school, you know nothing about me and..” she said, her cherry lips calling to me, I put my lips on hers, and she leaned into me giving me full reign over her body, I need more I need to taste her, I bit her lower lip, and she opened up, my tongue entered her mouth, I love her taste it’s like fresh strawberries, I felt her getting lighter and lighter in my arms, I held her tighter and she moaned in my mouth, oh this must be heaven, I could kiss her forever, she pulled me closer taking us deeper into the kiss. This was torture, having to restrain myself because we are in public, I want to take her home and feel her under me. I have found my mate and she is gorgeous; I had no more cares in this this world.
“Hehe hem” I pulled away from her, and the feeling of emptiness I felt when she pulled away made me want to punch whoever disturbed us, I looked towards the sound,
“Oh, hello Mr Martin” I said with an intended aggression in my voice, he looked at Scarlett
“The assembly is about to start” he said, the way he looked at her made me ball my hands into a fist, I watched as she ran to the hall, a smile formed on my face as I watched her skirt sway in the wind from left to right as she ran, she sure is cute.
“I know you have a lot of pull at this school, but don’t think that this kind of behaviour will go unpunished”, he said asserting his dominance not knowing that I could easily rip his throat out, but this is the human world, and we have rules against ripping human throats out in public, and as the soon to be Alpha I had to be a good example.
“Sorry Mr Martin it won’t happen again” I said with as much composure as I could master clenching my jaw.
“The day you are kicked out of this school will be the best day in this school’s history”, he said dismissing my apology,
“I don’t like you, but you seem to have the board wrapped around your finger, I don’t know how, and I don’t know when, but I do know this, one day I will bring you down” he said fixing his suit and walking towards the hall.
I fought the urge to pounce and rip him apart, I stood there calming myself, and a small tingling feeling brushed against my lips, and the kissed came flashing back, and my face hurt from the huge grin I had,
“Yes, I got my girl” I laughed to myself as I walked towards the hall, I stood by the door scanning the crowed for my lady, I spotted her friends right away sitting at the front,
“Where is she?” I said in a low voice, I was now getting nervous, and then from the corner of my eye I saw her shoving people aside, I moved as fast as I could to get to her, it took some time to get through the crowed, I could smell her, she was still in the bathroom, I opened the door and walked in.
“Scarlett are you planning to stay in there all day?” sounding more demanding than I intended, side effect of being born in the Alpha line I guess, she opened the door and to my surprise she was furious, I wasn’t sure at whom, she can’t be mad at me, not after that kiss, she is mine.
“Are you okay?” I asked ready to go rip apart the jack ass who hurt her, I just need a name.
“You son of a bitch, you think just because you happen to go to the same school as me and that you can scent me that I should automatically be yours, I mean where do you get off claiming me and telling me that I’m the only one you can scent here and you will be scenting me your whole life?, do you think it will be that easy to get into my pants, huh?!” What, what happened, my head raced a hundred miles a minute.
“Uh Scarlett, what’s going on?” I had to get to the bottom of this, what did I do wrong?
“You think just because you are the Alphas son you have a claim on me, you think you can just take whatever you want, well guess what, this is off limits” I stared in confusion, what happened between the kiss and now?
“I’m sorry if I made you feel like I was clamming you, I honestly thought the feeling was mutual” I said trying to calm her down and maybe reason with her, a pain gripped my heart as it sank in that she might be rejecting me as her mate,
“Well, I’m glad we are on the same page now” same page, what page? My mind is racing a million miles a minute, I stood there in shock as she continued
“I’m not yours to claim, I’m not yours to scent, stay away from me from now on Aiden” she said leaving me in the bathroom.
My wolf lost its fire and my strength left me and I fell to the ground, every bone in my body ached, my wolf was taking all the power it had loaned me back, I had to stop this process before it became irreversible,
“Wait, wait… listen to me, if I die you die too, we will get through this, but we have to do it together!”, I grunted using the last bit of strength I had.
“How will that help” he said with a voice I had only heard once before from my father when he was expressing his disappointment, granted he only used it once when I broke his whole in one plaque when I was eight, the anger shook in his voice and my wolf’s voice sounded just like he did that day.
“She hasn’t Shifted in a long time, that’s why she doesn’t know, I can convince her to Shift once she does she will know the truth…ahh” the pain was ripping me apart, and I found it hard to breath.
“You lost her, it would have been better if we had never found her, we could have just picked another mate, but now…it’s impossible no other she wolf will be good enough” I felt my wolf crouching down, andwhimpering.
“She doesn’t know it yet, but she will, don’t give up, we can do this…I can do this, will you trust me once more?” I said pleading with him, he said nothing in response and all I saw was black.
