Wolf's Hidden Touch

Chapter 1

Today is like any other day.

Getting ready for school. Then followed by a monotonous school day.

I made it downstairs to where my mom and Anthony are. Anthony is my stepdad. He and my mom got married when I was little.

Anthony's son lived with us in the beginning but decided to move in with his mom after a few years. There was a pretty big argument between them, and he hasn't been back since.

Mom made eggs and bacon for breakfast.

I took some to go. I have volleyball practice before school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Saturdays, we got to sleep in before practice, at least. I went running out the door and jumped in my car.

We don’t live far from the pack school. I made it on time and was able to inhale my breakfast before heading inside.

Our school was a large brick building. They had 4 schools on pack grounds.

It's my last year. I turn 18 in a few months, and I'm super excited.

We graduate in the spring, and then I am off to travel the world. Most wolves look forward to meeting their mates. I didn't really have much of an interest in anyone. I fiddled around with a couple of guys when I was younger, but I just never got really interested in anyone.

My best friend Ashley was waiting for me by the locker room door when I arrived.

"Hey b***h"

I laughed, "hey bitch."

"I hope Ms. Booth doesn't try and kill us today. My legs can't take anymore suicide runs."

I grabbed my bag and started stripping.

Ashley continued, " I think she just wants to kill me."

I giggled. "No, she's just a heartless old b***h".

Ashley perked up, "exactly".

I finished getting into my gear and we took off towards the field.

Ashley and I ran our 3 miles, but we took our time. I hated burning myself out before practice.

As always, Ms. Booth was pissed off at the world and ran our bodies dry.

It was looking to be a rough day. My body was going to hate me by the time I got my ice bath.

Practice finished. Since I had enough time, I took a quick shower in the locker rooms and got changed before I ran to my first class.

Class was the same as usual, dull and boring.

I drew all over my notebook, keeping myself occupied.

Lunch was uneventful and the school day ended without any particular events of note.

I got home and just wanted an ice bath and bed. Food wasn’t really a concern to me. My bed called for me, begging me to hide from the world.

Mom got irritated with me when I told her all I wanted was an ice bath and sleep. As I settled into the ice-cold water, she knocked on the door and brought me a salad. My stomach screamed for me to rethink not eating. It looked amazing. She had mixed greens, spinach, diced ham and turkey, bacon bits, tomatoes, sliced hard boiled eggs, corn, and garlic croutons. She was sweet enough to put the perfect amount of Italian dressing over all of it.

I leaned back into the tub and began munching down. My eyes rolled to the back of my head as I moaned at the flavors consuming my taste buds. Leave it to mom to always know just what I need.

Too soon, everything was gone. It was time to get out and get ready to sleep.

I was in the midst of drying my hair when my mom knocked on the door.

“Hold on!” I yelled.

I ran over to my closet and got into my pajamas. They were plaid. The shirt sat half way up my stomach. It was a cute outfit. Not too revealing, but comfortable.

My mom entered once she heard me walk out of the closet. She came and sat on my bed. Her hand came up and patted the sheets. Her eyes were tired, but her face was full of love.

“My love, I need to talk to you really quick.” My mom said quietly.

“Everything okay mom?”

“Oh yes, sweety. I am just really tired. It’s been hard work at the pack house.” I nodded. Waiting for her to proceed. “Anthony’s son is going to be moving back in with us. His mother has decided he is just too much of a handful for her to deal with.”

I feel bad for his son, Jordan. His parents were chosen mates. They were very much in love, but once his mom found her fated mate, she got up and ditched Anthony and Jordan. She comes back on occasion when she feels guilty. Honestly, I am surprised he stayed this long.

“That’s fine mom. I can help show him around school and help him get through his last year.” I said and gave her a reassuring smile.

“Thank you honey.” She stood and kissed the top of my head. She walked over to the door and looked back at me for just a moment. Then she flipped the light switch off and closed the door.

My body slipped effortlessly under the covers and sleep consumed me.

It was a school day. I couldn’t figure out why I was here. Ashley was walking alongside me talking away as we headed to our history class. She was going on and on about a new boy in school. I just rolled my eyes and zoned out. This topic held none of my interest.

We made it into history and sat down. I could hear hushed whispers and chose to ignore them. Everybody was obsessed over the new kid.

The bell rang and class began. Our teacher started talking, but I was very confused. She wanted us all to stand and introduce ourselves. It’s no longer the beginning of the school year, so why are we doing this? I decided it wasn’t worth the argument.

One by one each student stood and introduced themselves. It came to my turn and I introduced myself.

“Hi, my name is River.” I quickly sat down. I hated being the center of everyone’s attention. It was very uncomfortable for me.

I hadn’t been looking up when I had introduced myself, but that quickly changed when I smelled the most amazing smell of fresh cut grass on a rainy day. My eyes searched until they met the owner of that mouthwatering smell.

I was shocked. He looked a lot like Anthony, just younger.

My core pooled with warmth and desire. Every inch of my body was begging to be all over his. His eyes stared at me hungry. They moved up and down my body, causing my body to ache with need.

He has changed so much since I last saw him. His body was perfection. It begged me to lick every inch of it.

Before I could make a fool of myself, I peeled my eyes away from his. As I sat and listened, I could tell no one knew what had just happened.

I had clamped my legs together tightly attempting to hide my aroma.

Class went by painfully slowly. It was like time was mocking me. When the bell finally did ring, I had to stay put until everyone left. My core was still leaking as it burned hotter with desire.

After looking around and not seeing anyone, I tried to scurry to the bathroom.

My mission failed. I was right by the door when Jordan caught my arm and pinned me to the wall. This was not helping my body’s needs. I looked around to make sure no one saw us and found there was not a soul in the building.

He inhaled deeply and growled, “Goddess, you smell so good.” His eyes flickered from their light blue to almost black. He wanted me and he wanted me badly.

I couldn’t open my mouth to say anything, because anything I was going to say would have been stupid.

His fingers slid down my body and gently made their way into my pants. I nearly screamed when his fingers made contact with my clit.

Jordan’s face lit up with excitement as he played with it and turned me into a moaning mess.

I came and he dipped his fingers into my core.

Once he pulled out, he licked them.

“You taste so good,” he breathed heavily into my ear.

I woke up gasping as I clutched the bed sheets around me.

“What the fu.ck was that?!” I started yelling at myself in my head.

All my wolf could do was laugh.
