Olivia’s POV
“Oh, so you’re a big girl now, you think that you can stand up to me?” He growled
“I’m not scared of you anymore Zack”, my body trembled as I said those words, the last time I stood up to him was in sixth grade and he got so mad that he punched me in the stomach so hard that I lost all my lunch
His body doubled in size as he towered over me, “big talk for a big girl, but guess what little rabbit”, he leaned into my ear and whispered, his breath hot on my cold wet neck, “I’m bigger”, the hiss of his voice sent a chill down my spine, "hic", no matter how hard I tried to control my hiccups, my attempts were futile whenever I breathed in his lemon mint scent
“You don’t scare me anymore Zack”, I struggled trying to get out of his hold, he sneaked his cold hand under my shirt making my body tremble, "hic", my body jolted once more
“Your body tells me otherwise”, he smirked
“You’re a monster”, I growled, pushing him off me
“What?” He moved back in surprise, but his hands were still on me
“Who attacks someone without a reason? Without provocation?” I looked into his forest green eyes remembering all the times he called me names, and beat me without remorse, my anger flared up and I summoned all the willpower I had, “only a monster would do that”
He punched the wall right next to my face and my body froze, I don’t know what came over me standing up to him like that, he could kill me right now and no one would ever know, I bit my lip and swallowed waiting for him to unleash his wrath all over me
He looked down at me, and removed his hand from my ass as he slowly pried himself off me and stepped back, I could’ve sworn I saw pain flash through his emerald eyes, “just go”, he breathed
“What?”
“I said Fvck off”, he barked, and I ran, not looking back, I took my chance and ran home immediately. But I could still feel his eyes on me, following me, staring me down sending a chill down my spine.
“I need to get away from him, I hate that I liked his touch, why did it feel so good to me?”
I ran home like crazy not looking back, “hi honey, I just made a snack, would you like some?” Mom called out to me as I ran up the stairs to my room
“Not now mom”, I burst into my room and locked the door behind me. I sat on my bed soaking my blanket with my wet clothes, I stared at the ceiling as the sensation of his warm breath sent a shiver down to my core, "hic"
What is that…what the he*ll is that, why do I keep reacting this way when it comes to him? I laid my wet head on my pillow not caring that I was soaking it.
My back arched as the feel of his hands on my ass created a warm feeling at the pit of my stomach that was filled with butterflies, "hic"
“Snap out of it, snap the hell out of it, you’re saving yourself for your mate, remember, once you turn eighteen you’ll finally shift and be able to scent him, don’t let that scoundrel confuse you, your mate is waiting for you”, my rant was disturbed by my phone ringing, luckily I had forgotten it on my nightstand, so it wasn’t soaked like the rest of my stuff.
“Hello”
“Hi Angel”, Jeany chirped on the phone
“Jeany, I told you, it’s weird when you call me that”
“Alright grumpus, you got caught in the rain didn’t you?”
“Mhm”, I felt the tears start to well up in my eyes and I did my best to hold them back, but I couldn't
“Liv, what’s wrong? Are you still not feeling well?”
“It’s not that”, I cried, letting the tears fall freely
“Okay, that’s it, I’m coming over”
“No don’t, it’s just that…”, I started crying harder this time
“Olivia if you don’t tell me what’s going on, I swear I’ll rush over there”, she boomed
“I had a plan Jeany, this year was going to go smoothly, it was gonna be perfect, and this is the year I’ll finally turn meeting my wolf and embracing her for the first time and then finally find my mate”
“Yes, that’s always been the plan, we're gonna find our mates after we turn this year and finally have se*x”, she chuckled, “that’s still the plan right, or has it changed, did something happen?”
Should I tell her about Zack, should I tell her about how I felt when his hands were on me? How I wanted more, how I felt a connection with the monster that I’ve hated for so long?
“Nothing happened”, I lied, “the first day of school proved to be too much for me I guess”, I pretended to chuckle, lightening the mood, I don’t want her to come over, I know that if she does, I’ll spill my guts and I just can’t face the reality of what just happened right now
“Okay, I’ll take your word for it, as long as you promise me that tomorrow you’ll be better”
“I promise”
“Okay Angel”
“Ugh”, I groaned; I really hate it when she calls me that, she started calling me Angel when I convinced her that we should save ourselves for our mates
“There she is", she chirped, "okay chat later, bye”, she hung up and I put my phone down covering my face with my arms
“da*mn you Zack, I can’t let that happen again, I can’t let you affect me like that again”, the feel of his hands on my ass made my centre tingle, “hic"
"sh*t, if things go on like this, I’m afraid he might take away my virginity, I can’t let that happen”
“Did you miss me little bunny?” His voice hissed in my ear sending a chill down my spine, "hic"
“Fvck , how am I going to stop it, I can’t stay away from him forever, da*mnit why did he have to come back? Does he affect me like this because he’s my mate? No, he can’t be, that would be the worst thing ever, the goddess won’t do that to me”
I stood under the hot water in the shower with a million questions racing through my mind, why did he touch me like that, is he trying to say that he’s my mate, is he my mate? “No way”, but what if he is? He did look sad when I pushed him away
“What if he rejects me as his mate”, I shook it off, “snap out of it, Olivia, he’s not your mate, he just wanted to take advantage of you that’s all, it was just another one of his sick twisted games”
***
“sh*t”, I groaned as I watched the sun come up, I pulled the blanket off me and sat up, “ouch”, I hissed holding my now throbbing head from not sleeping a wink last night, I fell back on my bed, “I can’t miss school because of him, I have to go, I have to get up, get up Olivia, get up”, I forced myself off the bed and started to get ready
“If he is my mate, he’ll definitely reject me”, I rinsed out my mouth and looked at myself in the mirror, my grey eyes staring back at me with my untamed dark brown curly hair daring me to try to pull myself together, “that would be embarrassing”, I put my hands on the sink and stared myself down, “then you have to reject him first”, I nodded feeling good about my plan and rushed off to school
“Hey Angel”, Jeany swung her arms around me pulling me into a tight hug
“What’s up goldilocks”, I smirked giving her a taste of her own medicine
“Fine I’ll stop”, she rolled her eyes at me, “you have bags under your eyes, are you okay?”
“I didn’t sleep a wink last night”, I pulled my hair over my face creating a protective cocoon
“Why did you come? You of all people can afford to miss a day you know”
“I’m afraid my perfect GPA won’t allow me even one day of rest”, I laid my head on her shoulder closing my eyes trying to steal a minute of sleep
“Morning little bunny!” A loud voice called from across the quad, Jeany, and I followed it
“Zack?” We both said at the same time
“Did you miss me little rabbit?” He shouted with a sly grin on his face, as his hands moved in the air the same way they moved on my body yesterday, and I felt him again, his hands on my waist, his breath on my neck and how he softly but tenderly squeezed my ass, "hic"
My body started reacting, he was far away from me, but I could feel the butterflies dance in my stomach, “let’s go”, I grabbed Jeany’s arm and pulled her towards the blue double doors
“what the he*ll is he doing here?” She huffed as I dragged her along in her high heels, “is he talking to you?” I didn’t answer, I just looked straight ahead, my mission was to get as far away from him as humanly possible
“Did he do something to you?” I didn’t answer, she stopped and pulled her arm away stopping me in my tracks
“Answer me, what the he*ll did that as*hole do to you?” I looked at her, I know she’s my best friend, but I can’t tell her yet
“No, he didn’t, he didn’t do anything to me”, she stared me down, but I stood my ground, I will not be the first one to look away, this was our game, whoever looks away first loses.
“Why don’t I believe you?” She breathed shaking her head
“Believe what you want”, I turned and walked to my locker, "hic, oh no”, the scent of lemon mint filled the air, it was all around me, I froze and stared into my dark locker as his scent swirled around me invading my space, "hic", dammit
“I bet you didn't sleep well last night, because your body missed me", he whispered softly in my ear, I turned and gasped as his green eyes dared me to deny his claim
