Hell's Princess

Chapter 3

Chapter 3Life In The Pack-02

I quickly finished up the pancakes and cleaned the kitchen before they could reach the stairs. As I placed the goblet filled with orange juice on the table, Dominic walked into the kitchen, followed by Jasmine, then our parents.

"Hey baby sis," he greeted with a kiss on the forehead.

Looking at the table, he frowned, seeing I only placed four chairs instead of five.

"Cat, what did I tell you about excluding yourself from the table when it's time to eat? Here sit on my chair while I go grab another." he told me, leading me to his chair.

Seeing the glare my parents were sending my way, I told him,

"it's ok Nic, I'm not hungry besides I have to get to school early to hand in my final assignments to Mr. Schmidt before class, you know how he is."

He looked at me skeptically, then gave me the 'I don't believe you, but I'll drop it for now' look,

"Ok fine, but if you're gonna go at least grab some fruits first and a carton of juice before you go, not having breakfast isn't healthy and remember I'll pick you up after school ok?"

I nodded as I took up two apples and a small carton of orange juice, then grabbed my backpack and made my way to school. I could tell mom didn't want me to have any breakfast the way she looked at me as I took up the apples, but I also knew that Nic wouldn't stop until I ate something, so I ignored her death glares and took the fruit anyway.

As I was walking to school with my headphones on, I suddenly heard a car honk, and the next thing I knew, I was soaked in dirty water. I looked up to see Noah and his i***t friends laughing as they drove away. I couldn't believe those idiots splashed me. Ugh, I swore I hated them.

Knowing I wouldn't be able to turn back now, I continued my five minutes walk to school drenched in dirty water. I thanked the moon goddess today is Friday and the last day of school, so I won't have to spend another moment in the same building with those jackasses until summer break ends.

Plus tomorrow is my 16th birthday, and I'll be able to meet my mate. I can't wait, I hope he's someone sweet and caring, and I really hope there's no one in this pack because all the guys here are idiots. The only downside to my birthday is that Noah and I share the same birthday. Because of that, he always steals my thunder with his outrageous parties he forces me to go to because his rank is higher. I also heard archangel Michael is coming back tomorrow because it's Noah's birthday and he's of the age where he will meet his mate.

I swear I hated Noah to my very core. For someone that's an angel, he sure acts like a demon. I refused to allow him to ruin my birthday tomorrow. Because I would find my mate (hopefully) and be happy, even though I had to attend his stupid party so he could search for his mate, but why do I have to go? It's not like he and I are gonna be mates. That is just not possible. We are mortal enemies.

You see, mates are like what humans would call a soul mate: all supernatural creatures have one. Your mate is supposed to be kind and loving, and they will protect you, and they will want no one else but you and vice versa, or at least that are what the elders said, but I don't care. I just want my mate.

The sound of the first bell brought me out of my thoughts as I entered the schoolyard. I could see people staring at me, but I just ignored them. I could also see the idiots who splashed me laughing their heads off like it was some funny joke. I opened the doors of the school and walked into the hallway ignoring the stares and whispers, trying to get to my locker for the fresh suit of clothes that I always kept in there, seeing as this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

As I placed my books that I would need for the class as well as the clothes in my bag, I heard someone yell,

"why the f**k are your clothes wet?"

I sighed, knowing it was Aquarius because that girl's mouth knows no boundaries.

"Language," Alana scolded while giving her a slap on the back of her head.

"ouch that hurts Lana," Aquarius whined.

"Well you should know better than to be shouting profanities like that so openly at school." Alana replied.

Aquarius walked over to me, pouting while mumbling incoherent words under her breath. I just shook my head at the two. They are as crazy as can be.

"Hey Cat, sorry I couldn't pick you up this morning, mom and dad got back late last night and I woke up late this morning by the time I passed your house you were already gone." she apologized.

"It's cool, besides I had already decided I was gonna walk this morning." I told her.

"Let me guess Noah and his goons," she said, motioning to my drenched state.

"yup," I replied, popping the 'p'.

"gigantesco mano y stomp."

She chanted, and then we heard a car alarm go off, and an announcement was made. Then Noah ran past us out the door, asking who destroyed his baby.

We all walked to the bathroom laughing so I could clean myself up and change my clothes, and then we headed to class. I didn't have any class with Lana, Freya or Harley today, but we all had the same lunch time. Merlin and I had math in the morning, so I knew I'd see him when I got there, and Aquarius and I had art class in the second period, so all in all, today won't be that bad.
