Chapter 6
- Stacey's POV
- "Grrrrrr"
- "Grrrrrr"
- I groan and turn... I cover my ears with my pillow and went back to sleep again.
- But that annoying sound didn't stop, it came again and even louder than before.
- I reached for the source of the noise and angrily turns it off... I sat up and yawned sleepily, I stretched groggily with a small satisfied smile.
- Coming here might really be a good thing, I slept so soundly last night and I didn't get any nightmares... In fact, this is the first time I've actually slept without having nightmares since that incident.
- "Stacey, Come down for breakfast or you'll be late for school" Josh's voice echoes from the dinning table.
- My eyes involuntarily move to my alarm clock.. a loud gasp left my mouth and I quickly jumped off my bed.
- It's 7:30am already.
- "I'm so gonna be late for my first day" I panicked mentally.
- I dashed into my bathroom... God! I can't believe I overslept.. it hasn't happened before.
- I didn't spend much time in the bathroom, soon I'm standing in front of my full length mirror.. viewing my outfit.
- A blue short skirt ..a white crop top..a pair of white sneakers...I let my hair down.
- I carried my bag and rushed out...I head for the door and just as I reached for the handle, a hand stops me.
- "Where are you going without having your breakfast, Miss Rivera?" Josh asked.
- I turn to him, I reached for my phone inside my back and shows him the time.
- "It's 8:05am...I'm late, I can't have breakfast"
- He shakes his head and drags me towards the dinning table.
- "Today's your first day..the teachers won't blame you for coming a few minutes after 8!" He said.
- "But...."
- "I'm not gonna argue with you..have your breakfast!" He said.
- I open my mouth to speak again but he sent me a glare that says shut up!
- "Let me ask you..do you know the way to your school?"
- I shake my head.
- "But I heard there's only one highschool in this town..it can't be hard to find it"
- "Eat your food, Dylan will drop you off!" He said.
- He looked towards Dylan's room.
- "Dylan! I'm leaving! Don't forget to drop Stacey off at school"
- "Yeah, yeah!" Dylan replies from his room.
- Josh dropped his car key and carried his briefcase...he leans down and kisses my forehead.
- "Be good and don't get in trouble with anyone at school" he tells me.
- I nod and he quickly left... Dylan walks out of his room fully dressed in suit...I frown.
- "What's up with you?"
- He smiles and did a pose.
- "I need to look hot if I wanna get some highschool girlfriends!" He said.
- "Eww! Gross!"
- He sits on the chair next to me..he takes a slice of bread from my plate and eats it.
- He reaches for my glass of milk but I quickly grabs it before he could...I glare at him.
- "I won't let you put your gross mouth in my cup!"
- He rolls his eyes.
- "Whatever!" He takes the car key Josh dropped on the table. "Hurry up.. you're late, lazybones!"
- I quickly gulp down my milk and got up.. Dylan carries the plate and glass to the kitchen before we head out.
- Dylan stops in front of a very big gate..with ASHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL written on it in bold letters.
- I peep inside the school premises... students are rushing off to their classes...though, some are standing in groups of twos and threes discussing.
- "We're here!" Dylan said.
- I nod...another new school... I'll be the new student again.
- "Stacey, should I walk you in?" He asked.
- "No!" I said quickly. "I'll go on my own!"
- He nods.
- "Don't worry, you'll be fine" he told me.
- He leans forward and pulls me in for a brief hug... He kissed my forehead.
- "I'll come back later to pick you up!"
- "Ok... I'm gonna go now!"
- I sighed deeply and steps out... I wave him and waited for him to drive off.
- I turned and looked at the gate again... It seems like it's even higher than when I'm in the car.
- Taking a deep breath I walk into the premises. I will first go to the principal's office and get my timetable... but I suddenly realize I don't know where the principal's office is.
- "Whatever! I'll just ask anyone I find approachable"
- Ok...I know I'm a new student and some people are gonna notice it.
- What I didn't expect is everyone...I mean, everyone in school noticed I'm new.
- Anyone I walk past must turn back and talk in hushed voices...some of them even pass me nasty looks...like I'm a carrier of a strange disease.
- "I guess I'm gonna find the principal's office by myself"
- Just then I heard the bell rings and students start rushing to class...soon, the hallways are empty and I'm the only student walking outside.
- I felt a tap on my shoulder...I turned and saw it's that girl from the supermarket... Jessica.
- "Ah! I knew it's you!" She smiled.
- I breathe in relief.
- "Finally, someone I'm familiar with!" I muttered under my breath but strangely, she heard me.
- She laughs.
- "Don't worry..no one will give you a hard time" she said.
- I shake my head.
- "Really? I doubt that..you don't know the glares I've been trying to survive since I came in"
- "That's all they can do..our Alpha warned us not to bully you!"
- I narrowed my eyes.
- "Alpha?"
- "Oh!" She slaps her mouth like she just said something wrong... something she shouldn't have said.
- She laughs lightly.
- "I mean..our president..he warned everyone last night not to bully you!" She explained.
- "Oh...he knows me?"
- She nods. Their president knows me?
- "But I don't know him!"
- Just then someone bumps my shoulder...if Jessica wasn't holding me, I'd have fall flat on my face.
- "Get out of the way! Filthy human!"
- Filthy human? I looked at the trouble maker and realized it's that rude girl from yesterday.. Jessica's sister.
- "Juliet!" Jessica scolds her.
- "What? She's just a weak dirty human!"
- Why is she always referring to me as human?! Isn't she one?
- "Juliet, remember the alpha's warning!" Jessica told her.
- "I don't care!" She growls at Jessica and marches off.
- Jessica turns to me..with a small apologetic smile.
- "I'm really sorry about my sister's behavior...I don't know what is wrong with her lately"
- I shake my head and smiled at her.
- "I'm fine but are you really sure she's your sister?"
- "Yeah...?"
- "Hmm... it's hard to believe, your personalities are so different!" I said.
- "A lot of people say that"
- We both chuckles lightly...I guess, Jessica and I will be friends...I kinda like her!
- "So... What do you have this morning? Where's your timetable?"
- "I haven't got it... I was kinda looking for the principal's office"
- "Come on... I'll take you there!" She said and pulls me down the hallway.
- Writer's POV
- "ASHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL" Karl screams as he parks his motorcycle next to Raymond's car.
- Raymond takes off his helmet and got off his motorcycle... Henry and Jerome did the same thing.
- "I can't believe we're back!" Henry said.
- "Yeah! It feels like a dream!" Karl said.
- Ray closes his eyes and inhale deeply... then his eyes snaps open at once as he feels his wolf jumping in excitement.
- "Can you guys perceive that?" He asked his friends.
- They paused and sniffs the air and shakes their heads.
- "No.. what are you perceiving?" Jerome asked.
- Ray sniffs the air again... He closes his eyes momentarily to savour the sweet aroma he's perceiving.
- "It smells like vanilla and strawberry mixed together!" He said.
- Henry, Karl and Jerome sniff the air again... They frown as they couldn't perceive anything like vanilla or strawberry.
- "Ray.. I only perceive Juliet nearby!" Karl said.
- "Wait... that's his mate's scent!" Jerome exclaims.
- Their eyes grows wide... Raymond's eyes still shut as he smiles.. inhaling more of the scent.
- "No! No! Don't tell me Juliet is our future luna queen!" Karl said disgustingly.
- "The pack slut is your mate?!" Henry exclaimed.
- This snaps Ray out of the daze he was in... His gaze harden.
- Right at that moment, Juliet comes in and throws herself at Raymond.
- "Raymond, You're really back!" She said flirtatiously.
- Ray sniffs her and frown... He grabs her hands and pushed her off him... she falls on her butts.
- "Raymond.... "
- "It's alpha prince to you!" Ray cuts her off instantly.
- Karl, Jerome and Henry stares at Raymond in confusion... Ray clenched his jaw and balled his fist... He glares at Juliet as though her touch just burned him.
- "Raymond.. why did you push her off.. she's your.... "
- "She's not her!" He cuts Henry off.
- "Huh?"
- "She's not my mate! I gotta go find my mate!" Ray said and rushes off.. following the scent.
- Juliet huffed and angrily got up.. she dust off her pants.
- "How can I not be his mate! I'm his mate!" She grumbles.
- Karl, Jerome and Henry shakes their heads and rushes after Raymond... But not before Karl whispers.
- "Thank the moon goddess.. I thought a slut is our future luna queen!"
- Juliet heard it and stomps her feet.
- "I dare you to say that again!"
- No one replied her as they've already left... She scoffs and marches towards the woods.
