Chapter Six

May POV  

It's been a week since I got sucked in the twilight zone. At least that's how it feels like.   

Matt's been spending a lot of time with Megan, Colton's been sitting near me in all of my classes, Brandon doesn't even look at me anymore and Jason has been giving me his charming smiles that could kill a girl just by looking at him.  

 I swear, Micah almost fainted when Jason smiled at him too. There are also the whole rumors about Bianca and Amanda getting into a physical fight with each other today. Those two are inseparable and have known each other since they were kids.  

School is finally done today so I'm heading to the car. It's Thursday, and I'm excited for movie night with Matt. Micah and Greg can't make it for movie night because they are having a date night.   

Heading outside I can see Matt's car but I can't see Matt anywhere. That's strange, he's always waiting for me when I come out of school.  

I walk closer to the car and look to the other side of the street where there are other cars parked and spot Matt with his face glued to Megan's.   

"Ew, ew, ew, ew!!" I say aloud.  

Matt definitely heard me because I was not subtle.   

They quickly part and look my way. I have my hands on my face with my eyes peeking through my fingers. They both turn red and Matt gives me an awkward smile. He quickly gives her a peck on the mouth and walks my way. When we get in the car, I look at him cringing.  He starts the car and looks at me.  

"What? Stop looking at me like that." He says while he starts driving.  

"Just because of that little horror that you just made me witness, I get to choose the movie for tonight." I tell him with a serious look.  

He rolls his eyes. "I'll agree to that, only if you drop the issue of what you just saw."   

"Done and done!" I say happily.  

"Oh, and how do you feel if Megan joins us tonight for the movie?" He looks at me with eager eyes.  

I put a finger on my chin thinking. "Does she like horror movies?" I ask him  

He sighs. "So it's a horror movie tonight then?" He asks.  

"Yep." I say cheerfully.  

"I don't think she does." He says looking defeated.  

"Yes, she can join us. I don't really care who joins us as long as I get to pick the movie." I say giving him a mischievous smile.  

"Cool." He says looking really happy.  

We soon get home. I head upstairs to change and when I get back down, I hear a knock on the door. I look through the peephole and see Jackson.   

I open the door. "Hi, dad!" I give him a smile. He's always insisting that I call him dad when I'm with him.  

"Hey, sweetheart." He says with a smile and lifted the bags up so I can see them.   

"I got Chinese food today." He walks inside and I hug him.  

"MATT!! DAD'S HERE!! I yell from the bottom of the stairs.   

I close the door and help Jackson set the table, then we sit and wait for Matt.   

"How is school?" Jackson asks me.  

I groan. "It's good, my grades are good."   

"And math and chem? How are you doing in those?" He says raising an eyebrow.  

"I like chem but I hate math, I still have good grades in them though. Greg's a genius and he helps me understand the problems in both classes." Seriously, that boy doesn't even need to study.  

Matt finally walks into the dining room.   

"You finally decide to grace us with your presence?" Jackson says with a smile.  

"Sorry, had an important call." He says looking at the food.  

We sit down and start eating.  

"So, Matt and I are watching a movie later with his girlfriend." I say to Jackson smiling innocently.  

Matt almost chokes on his food and starts coughing.  

"Oh!" Jackson says looking at Matt.  

"Who? When were you going to tell me and your mother and, are you imprinting on her, or is it just a fling?" Jackson asks looking at him with a serious face.  

Matt looks at me with a look that says 'I'm going to kill you in your sleep' and I smile.  

He sighs. "It's Megan, and yes, Seth wants to imprint on her."  

I gasp. "Really?" I ask with a smile.  

"Yes." Matt says with a chuckle.  

"Congratulation's son!" Jackson says looking proud at Matt.  

I start clapping excited.  

"Megan..." Jackson says pondering the name with a finger under his chin. "Is that Rolland's daughter?" He asks.  

"Yea, that's her." Matt says smiling. Jackson nods smiling with full approval.  

We finish our food and say our goodbyes. I decide to take a shower before we start the movie. After the shower, I put on one of Matt's old large t-shirt that I confiscated a long time ago, with denim shorts and fuzzy socks with my hair in a bun.  

I'm heading downstairs to put the popcorn in the microwave but there's a knock on the door.  

"Open the door dumb dumb! It's Megan!" Matt yells from his room. He took a shower and is now getting dressed.  

I walk downstairs and open the door with a smile. My smile drops when I see Colton standing there. I almost gasped but I managed to keep it in. He's looking at me with an unreadable expression.  

(… Oh goddess, I feel like his eyes look right through my soul.)  

"Alpha." I say looking down and lowering my head. "Matt's getting dressed, he'll be right down." I tell him while I let him inside.  

"Okay." He says in his deep voice.  

I close the door behind him and Matt is already coming down the stairs. I'm completely relieved that I don't have to interact with him anymore.  

"Hey man, what's up?" Matt says with a nod.  

I leave them there and got to the kitchen where I can still hear their conversation.  

"Hey, I was gonna ask you if you wanted to go to Jacky's Diner to get something to eat but looks like your busy." I hear Colton say while I put the popcorn in the microwave.  

"Yea, we're watching a movie tonight and Megan is coming over. You want to watch it with us? We can order some food?" I hear Matt say. I hold my breath waiting for his answer.  

"Yea sure as long as Megan and your sister don't mind." He says.  

"Na they won't mind." Matt says.  

"Hey May! Do you mind if Colton joins us for the Movie?" Matt shouts loudly.  

(I can't f*****g say no when you ask me like that asshole.) I sigh  

 "Of course I don't mind." I tell him.   

I look up and close my eyes and pray to the moon goddess so that I don't end up pissing off the Alpha tonight.  

Once the popcorn is done, I take it to the living room and set up the movie while Matt and Colton order food. There's a knock on the door and I assume is Megan but, since I was fooled before, I look through the peephole first just in case and it is Megan this time.   

I open the door and she immediately pulls me into a hug. I pat her Back awkwardly, I mean, I've never talked to this girl before so this is a bit weird.   

"Hi, May!" She says in a sweet voice.  

I close the door behind her and smile at her.  

"Hey Megan." I really don't know what else to say.  

Matt comes from the kitchen and gives her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.   

"Colton's going to watch the movie with us too." He tells her with Colton walking from behind him.  

"Hey cuz!" She says to him.  

"Hey Megan, I hear you got this guy whipped." He says crossing his arms and leaning on the wall with a smirk on his face.  

I start to laugh but quickly stop. Megan giggles.  

Matt looks at him annoyed and then looks at me squinting his eyes.   

"Don't you have a movie to pick and set up dumb dumb?" He says to me with a pointed look.  

I want to punch him in the face for calling me that in front of people.   

I give him an annoyed look. "I already did." I say and head back to the living room.   

"Matt, be nice." Megan says to him.  

"Sorry." I hear him say.  

"Whipped."  Colton says lowly but we all can hear it.  

I can't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.  

We only have one sofa but is one of those big ones that can sit up to six people.   

I'm sitting on the right end of the sofa, Colton took the middle, and Mat and Megan are cuddling on the left end.  

"What movie did you pick?" Matt asks.  

I don't answer him yet and just hit play.  

"The conjuring two." I say throwing some popcorn in my mouth.   

Megan and Colton's heads jolt towards me. I want to laugh but I suppress it. Matt doesn't really like scary movies but he got used to them a while ago because of me.  

They both turn back to the TV and we start watching the movie.  

Throughout the movie, Megan shields her eyes on Matt's chest squealing whenever something scary happens.  

Colton is just sitting with his arms crossed looking a little tense. He actually jumped a few times but I acted like I didn't notice, I really wanted to laugh so much.  But honestly, no one is like Micah, and his dying animal screams. I chuckle to myself thinking of him. 

"May! How can you watch these movies and then sleep perfectly fine at night?" Megan asks me when the movie is finally over.   

I giggle and shrug my shoulders. "I don't know, I've never had a problem sleeping because of a scary movie."   

"Well, I definitely can't sleep now." She hugs Matt and buries her face in his chest.  

Matt's eyes sparkle. "We should go for a run." He says.   

"We just watched a scary movie and you want to go for a run in the woods, at night?" Megan asks almost not believing what Matt just suggested.  

Colton laughs. "I think it's a great idea." He says.  

Megan sighs. "Ok fine."  

 I'm not sure if I'm invited, so I just stay quiet but they all look at me expectantly.  

"What?" I ask.  

"What's your vote on this?" Matt asks.  

"Oh... yea sure." I say. This is going to be weird. I only ever go for runs alone or with Matt only.  

Colton gets up from the couch and lifts his arms to stretch. His shirt slides up showing some of his rock hard abs and I shamelessly stare. Yes, I stare.  

‘Yum.’ Hera says in a very s****l way that I've never heard her speak like before.  

I look up and he is staring at me. I sigh internally.   

(Dammit, he caught me.)  

 I quickly look away. I get up and head for the door and they all follow.   

We get to the edge of the woods and I head behind a tree. I look around making sure I can't see the others and that they can't see me, then I start taking my clothes off. Hera is so excited right now. I quickly shift and head to where the others are waiting.   

I see Matt with his light brown fur and bright blue eyes, and the two others look almost the same with dark brown hair and bright green eyes but, one of them is bigger than all of us which obviously is Colton.   

Matt's attention is on Megan but Megan and Colton's eyes are on me. And I know why. It's because of the contrast between my fur color and my eyes. When we are in wolf form our, eyes brighten more. I have completely black fur and my eyes are bright amber. Matt told me once that my eyes look so bright that they almost look like they were glowing.  

Matt nudges Megan grabbing her attention and they start running deep into the woods. I'm about to start running after them but then I stop myself. I feel like they would enjoy some privacy right now.   

I look at Colton and he's sitting on his back legs looking like he's waiting to see what I do.  

I start walking in the opposite direction of Matt and I can feel Colton starts following me. I start to pick up my pace until I'm fully running with Colton behind me.   

I'm surprised that he doesn't try to take charge and just lets me lead. We run for about fifteen minutes till we reach the riverbank.   

We drink some of the water and take a break. I lie down with my head up and paws crossed in front of me looking towards the river. Colton does the same next to me, with enough space in between us to fit another wolf. We stay like that for a while. It feels nice, calm. I can feel him sometimes stare at me.   

After a bit more time, Colton gets up signaling that it's time to head back.  

 He leads the way this time and I give control to Hera so that she can enjoy the run too.   

We make it back in no time but Megan and Matt are not there yet.   

I go back to my tree, shift back, and put my clothes on. I come out, putting my hair back into a bun.  

 Colton comes out still putting his shirt back on giving me a glimpse of his abs.   

(I swear you'd think that he does that on purpose.)  

'Maybe he does.' Hera says amused. I sigh internally.   

I can see Megan and Matt coming through the woods. Colton and I wait there awkwardly while they put their clothes back on.    

Megan comes out and Matt rushes to her then, he gives her a spinning hug and kisses her. I don't know where to look.   

"What was that for?" She asks while she giggles.  

Matt gives her a wide grin. "Seth imprinted on you!" He says.   

Her eyes go wide. "Really?" She asks with a big smile.  

He nods and kisses her again.  

I'm so surprised. "How doesn't she know he imprinted on her?" I ask forgetting who I'm talking to, but it's too late the question already came out of my mouth.  

Colton looks at me and I get nervous. "When someone imprints and creates a mate bond, the bond is too weak in the beginning so the wolf that was imprinted on can't really feel anything." Colton says.  

I nod in understanding. I never knew that.
