The Beast Inside Me

Chapter : Five

Hugo's POV 

"Hey kiddo. How was your first day then?" My father questioned practically as soon as I walked in the front door. 

"Yeah it was okay" I simply told him. I couldn't tell him that I could possibly have a mate even though it is impossible. I knew I couldn't tell anyone. No one would even know what to say to me, never mind telling me what I could do about this situation. 

"Just okay? Did you make any friends?" Why wouldn't he just leave me alone. 

"Yeah I made a couple of new friends, they're really nice. I'm going to go to my office." I told him. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I guess I just wasn't in the mood. 

As soon as I reached my office, I closed the door and took a seat. I was tired. What was I supposed to do? I decided to try and search Iris and see what I could find and hopefully there would be something to tell me what type of person she was. 

'Iris Lee' was the first person that popped up from the search history and I instantly clicked it knowing that it was her. Thank god I found her profile straight away and I didn't have to search for ages. 

There was a photo of her and another guy. His arms around her neck as hers was around his waist. Why was I suddenly feeling jealous? Protective? Was he her previous mate? Anyone would be more than lucky to get a second mate never mind a first. I did some more digging on her, and just before I clicked on a link someone was knocking at the door. 

"Come in" I yelled so the other person could hear me. 

"Hi hun, it is just me" My mother said quietly. Maybe if I told her what was happening she would understand since she had been through something similar. 

"Is everything okay? Your dad seemed worried about you" She questioned I guess it was understandable. I was never the quiet one out of the three of us. I always told them how my day went and what had happened. 

"Can I ask you something? And you can not tell anyone." I asked.

"Of course! What is wrong?" She asked, worriedly as she took a seat opposite me. 

"Is it possible at all for me to have a mate? Even though I am still human and don't have a wolf." I asked, I felt stupid asking her given that I already knew the answer. She took a few moments decided what she could say before answering. 

"Well, I never thought that I would have certain powers even as a werewolf that could possibly even make me powerful. It had never happened to another wolf before. So do I think it is impossible for you - a human - to have a mate? No, I do believe that you could have a mate." She explained. 

"Then I think that I have found her." I told her, without realizing she wiped my tears away. Yes I am a big softie. 

"How do you feel when you are around her?" 

"Jealous, nervous, excited, content." I told her, and I really did feel like that. 

"Well, there is only one way that you can one hundred percent sure." She said with a small smile. 

"What is it?" I quickly responded, I needed to know now. 

"Every werewolf to be completely sure, has to kiss the person who they have that connection with. Just to be a hundred percent sure. Ninety nine percent it is never wrong once you kiss them." She explained. 

"Thank you, mom." I said, smiling at her. God, my emotions are all over the place today. 

*The Next Day At School* 

It is a new day, and I know I can do this. All I have to do is kiss her and I will know for certain if she is going to be mine or not. 

The last bell had rung and I rushed off to my class, History just as I turned the empty corridor corner the only other person in the corridor was her. Iris. 

I went up behind her and pushed her into the closest room and quickly closed the door behind me. 

"What the hell." She yelled, not realizing that it was me.

I noticed that we were in the janitors room, so the space between us was very thin. 

"What the hell are you doing Hugo?" She whisper yelled at me. 

"Listen, I may seem super weird but I need to do something really quickly. Do not shout or do anything okay." I told her not leaving any room to say anything back to me. I quickly grabbed her face and kissed her. 

The kiss was something I definitely didn't regret doing. I was even more shocked when she began to kiss me back, given that I thought she hated me talking to her. Without thinking I growled lowly, biting her bottom lip gently tugging at it earning a low moan from her. 

Spark were flying everywhere. My veins felt like they were going to pop and I couldn't help but kiss her more deeply. The kiss was going to drive me insane. She slowly pulled away from me before it got anymore hot. She was my mate. 

"Mine!" I growled at her. What the hell was going on? I'm human but I'm growling. I don't even have a wolf yet I could feel something possess me. I have got to get myself in control. 

"Would you look at that. I guess we are mates after all." She breathed out, trying to gain control of her breathing. 

I had no idea what to do so the only thing that came to mind was to leave her there. I opened the door and left to my class. I am such a p***y. I find my mate and then just leave her there, on her own. Goddd, she is going to hate me for sure now. 

Lunch finally came around and shocked to say Maddison and her new friends decided to sit with me. Filling this once empty table to a completely full table.

"Maddison, what is up?" I questioned, looking around at her friends and recognizing some of the girls from yesterday. Emma. 

"Hey, I thought that since the Alpha is my brother and was sat all alone then I would introduce you to some of my friends." She exclaimed excitedly. 

"This is Emma, Chelsea, Brit and Scarlett." She pointed in order of the girls. 

"Hey" I bluntly said. I wasn't interested in any of them. I wanted my mate, but she was nowhere to be found. Maybe she just decided to have lunch somewhere else today. 

"Hi Hugo" Emma said seductively, I was definitely not interested in her. She flipped her fake blonde hair over her shoulder and battered her eyelashes at me. Jeez. 

"Listen it was really nice to meet you girls but I have to go somewhere real quick. We'll talk again some other time." I told them all, kissing Maddy on the head and leaving. I felt more confident, free. I guess it was all thanks to my mate.
