Isabella’s P.O.V.Our pack consists of the strongest of Warriors and is blessed with Healers, so that makes us important in the werewolf world.
Whenever there is a threat from rogues, other packs come to us in order to unite our allies, so that our warriors will fight for them, if war is initiated.
If someone is trapped in some kind of black magic or injured due to attack, they come to us, because we are one of those few packs who have been blessed by the Moon Goddess with Healers. Healers are special kind of werewolves, who can heal any kind of injury as well as break any kind of spell with the help of their powers.
With these thoughts racing through my mind, I make it to college in time; my class starts at 8.10 am and ends at around 3.40 pm, being the most late. I park my car in the parking space and make it towards the entrance, to my friends. Its 8.02 am, so we still have 8 minutes before class starts.
I see them standing at their usual spot, by the lockers. Matt, Rose, Caleb and Ryan are standing there, waiting for me. Ryan sees me first and tells everyone. As soon as I reach them, Caleb says, “Finally the warrior princess arrives.”
I just shake my head and nudge him around with my shoulder and ask, “Awww was the chipmunk missing me?”
He puts his tongue out to tease me and that’s when my best friend jumps on me, “Bella, Come on. Let’s Go. New Year, New Beginnings”
I just enjoy her embrace and reply, “Oh my god Rose, You are going to choke me to death someday and by the way, what’s so new about this year?”
She wiggles her eyebrows and continues, “MATE.”
“What the actual f**k? All this time, I thought, Matt was your mate” I reply sarcastically.
Ryan and Caleb look at Matt and end up laughing like mad men, Matt looks at me, bewildered a little at my comment and says hastily, “Hey, I am her Mate.”
I just couldn’t hold it any longer and end up laughing with the guys at Matt’s and Rose’s expression. Ryan pulls me towards him and we move towards our class.
Matt and Caleb are doing Major in Business Administration, Rose is doing her Major in Nursing and Minor in Art, Ryan and I, we are doing our Major in Marine science whereas I am doing my Minor in Music.
Since, me and Ryan, we both have the same classes most of the tines, we accompany each other to every class, unless and until, one of us is sick and can’t make it to class. Matt and Caleb have same classes due to same majoring subject, Rose is the only person who is left alone for all her classes and doesn’t share even one class with any of us.
We all have Lunch break at the same time, so we all meet at the cafeteria and even leave at the same time, together, with our cars being behind or beside one another.
I and Rose have been friends with the guys since 3rd grade, Ryan is a year older than us but since he was Ill during his 3rd grade exams and couldn’t appear it, he had to repeat the grade. That is when we met him and became friends instantly. Since he was our pack’s Gamma’s son, he used to hang out with the Alpha and Beta’s sons and that’s when we met Matt and Caleb. Unlike Ryan, these two idiots are two years older than me and Rose.
Rose and I turned 18 last year, and on Rose’s 18th birthday she found out that Matt is her mate. They bonded instantly. Matt left his bad boy persona the day he found his Mate and has been deeply in love with her since that day. They marked each other a month later and since then Rose has been our pack’s Luna.
Whereas Me, Ryan and Caleb are yet to find our mates. There is a good chance that our mates might belong to some other packs, it’s not a problematic situation for the guys, since their mate will leave her pack and move to ours.
It’s my mate, who has been making me worried sick. I can’t leave my siblings and move to another pack, we our basically orphans and I am all they have. Hence the reason, I’m not so eager to find my mate.
I push the thought of finding a mate out of my mind and move towards my class. Ryan senses my discomfort and says, “You okay princess?”
I just nod and enter our classroom and take the front seats. I don’t know why people don’t like sitting in the front row. I mean, the professor’s desk is like a good 10 steps away from the seating area and it is located on a platform, so even if you sit in the back, your desk is as visible as the front row.
As we get settled in, Mr. William enters o=and settles his stuff on the desk. Before we even realize, 90 minutes has already passed and it’s already 9.40 am. We move to our next class and soon enough it’s Lunch time.
As we make our way to the Cafeteria, we catch a lot of new faces, it’s nothing new though, every year, a few hundred of students enroll here and it’s pretty much the same every year.
On entering the cafeteria, my attention moves to our regular table to see the other three already settled there, waiting for me and Ryan. We make our way towards them to keep our bags and move towards the lunch line.
While we are standing there, I notice a girl standing right before me, who seems very familiar. She notices me looking at her and smiles, moving her hand towards me for a shake “Hi. I’m Rachel. We are in the same class.”
I shake her hand and reply, “So that’s where I saw you. Sorry for staring, I realized that I saw you somewhere but couldn’t point out where. By the way, I’m Isabella.” I move my attention to Ryan who is listening to our conversation and point out to him saying, “And this is one of my Best friend’s Ryan.”
Ryan, being the ass that he is, just nods.
She takes her lunch and waits for me and Ryan to take ours. As soon as we are done, she moves with us a little bit further towards the center while saying, “I’m new here. I and my brother, with his few friends have enrolled here this year. Our father wanted us to explore someplace other than our own territory.”
On hearing the word ‘Territory’, Ryan gets alert and looks at her in an interrogating manner. She doesn’t falter at all; in fact she is as normal and bubbly as she was earlier.
I smile at her and ask, “You’re a werewolf?”
She just nods and adds, “Yes. I thought you’d already know.”
I just shrug and say, “No. I didn’t.”
Just as I’m about to ask her pack’s name, someone pushes me from behind and I fall face first on the floor with my meal thrown in front of me. The only thought that goes through my mind is whoever this is, they better be gone till now, or else they are going to get it from me.
I get up to notice that everyone’s attention is towards me as well as whoever is behind me, because everyone who was already here when I enrolled knows better than to f*****g mess with me.
I turn around to see a plastic doll standing feeling all high and mighty, with a wicked smile etched to her face, after pushing me.
Before I say something, she ends up saying, “Watch where you’re going b***h” as she tries to move past me.
Oh you’re so wrong if you think this ends here.
I stop her with my hand, when Rachel ends up saying, “What the hell Veronica? What was that for?”
I look towards Rachel to notice that she despise her as much as I do.
This is nice, very nice.
I turn back towards the Plastic doll named Veronica, when she says, “What did I do Rachel. She was in the way. If you don’t believe me ask Megan and Olivia”
I just shrug to her facade, to which she moves her attention towards me, asking “What are you smiling at b***h?” pushing my shoulder a little more harshly.
Before she can even move her hand back, I grab her wrist and twist it so hard, that she ends up turning around, allowing me to twist her arm with an undesirable strength.
She cries in pain to which I reply, “Listen here Malibu Barbie. I’m going to say this once, so u better listen carefully.” I twist her arm with a little more pressure and continue, “Keep your Manicured paws to yourself. I’m not breaking them this time, but the next time, you or your minions touch me or even breathe in my direction, I won’t think twice before pulling it apart.”
I loosen my grip and leave her with a slight jerk, she turns around with a tear stained face and tries to jump on me, to scratch my face, I guess.
Tries to Jump, Tries being the Keyword.
Okay now I’m pissed. I hold her firmly, when I hear a panicked Rachel telling a calm Ryan to help me out of this situation, to which Ryan just replies, “I’m not mad to interfere in Bella’s fights. If anything, I think you should be more worried about your little friend here. Because she is the one, who pissed the wrong girl”
I smile at his comment as I form a fist of my right hand, pulling it a little behind and throwing it at the one & only Malibu Barbie. She looks taken a back and in a lot of pain due to that punch.
Blood starts seeping from her nose, as I think I most definitely, broke it.
Now that’s going to cost a fortune to fix it.
I growl at her once, before jerking her away from me. She bends down, holding up her nose and crying, when a guy group of guys come up to her and pull her up.
The guy, who pulled her up, examines her wound and turns towards me with anger blazing in his eyes.
Okay. Now this is some regular mate thing, I’m seriously getting tired of.
He comes near me and asks, No, he shouts, “What the f**k. How dare you touch her like that? Do you even know who she is?”
I just shrug and reply being the sarcastic b***h, I am, “Firstly, I don’t care, even if she is the granddaughter of some stuck up bitchy ass queen and secondly, I didn’t touch her. I punched her, get your facts straight.”
He looks furious at my reply as he charges himself towards me, that’s when Ryan steps in from of him and pushes at his chest, “Whoa man, calm the f**k down. It was her mistake. Ask Rachel, if you don’t believe us.”
As soon as Ryan says Rachel’s name, a guy steps closer to her and pulls her to his chest.
Oh God. One more Mated Couple.
Rachel comforts in his hold and smiles at him to which the guy visibly relaxes. The Bulky, Hot, s*x God turns towards Rachel and asks, “What the hell happened here Rach?”
She nods at him and says, “They are saying the truth, Veronica started it. She pushed Bella out of nowhere.”
He slightly relaxes before turning towards the Devil and says, “What the f**k Veronica? Why did you do that?”
She turns pale before stuttering, “No babe, she is lying. I didn’t do anything like that. She just punched me out of nowhere.”
I look at her Oscar Award winning acting, and by looking at it, I can say that she has done it a lot of times to have so much of practice.
What a b***h. I heard my wolf say. She never does that, hardly interferes in other people’s life.
Whoa Aurora, did you just curse an unknown person? I ask her.
Oh you’ll know. Is all she said, before vanishing again.
Bringing myself back to reality I focus on the conversation between the Barbie and the s*x God.
He looks angry, Okay now what did she do, to piss him off again? He moves closer to her, as a predator moves towards its prey.
Oh how much would I have loved, to be in that position with him.
What the f**k is wrong with me? Did I just think that? I think this whole being Mate less thing is screwing up my mind. These are the times, when I feel that I should just start searching for my mate in other packs. Then at least I’ll know whoever the hell that person is.
Just as I’m having a mental fight with myself, I hear a growl which makes my panties soak. Holy f**k, whoever that was, is damn sexy. I’m mentally drooling over the voice, when I Ryan just nudges me, as he senses my arousal, and brings me back to the s*x god, whose growl made drip in front of the whole cafeteria.
This is embarrassing, all the unmated male wolves, will be able to smell it.
Uhhhhhhh. Stupid hormones.
As I try to oppress my arousal, I hear him say, “So, you mean to say, that my little sister is lying?”
Wait. What?
Did I just hear correctly? Did he say little sister?
I look towards Ryan, to see he has a similar expression like mine. I turn towards Rachel, to see a guilty expression etched on her face. I just give her ad small smile and nod towards her to say, that it’s okay.
The she devil pales even more, like a Christmas ghost. No wait. Like a Halloween ghost. She deserves it, that b***h just called my man, her babe.
My man? When the f**k did this happen?
I think I’m finally losing it. God, I need to get the hell away from these people. And I think I’m done with this s**t. I don’t have anything to say or do. So why waste my precious lunch time?
