Cotton Candy Waves: The Morningstar Series Book 9

"Hey Less, you coming to class today?" Aaron asked as I walked into the classroom. I gave him an incredulous look. "What's it look like to you?" I asked him. "Well, it's about damn time." He replied, laughing. I rolled my eyes, and sat down on the seat in front of him. Mom found out I'd been skipping classes. I guess Tia's promise to keep this between us was a damn lie. You didn't hold up your end of the promise. Tull, my wolf, reminded me. The deal was that I go to classes, and Tia doesn't tell Mom. Well, I went to classes... for two days. I just can't help it. I don't want to be here. Everyone sucks. They're all annoying as hell, and learning all of this is pointless. I'm just going to join the BOC like the rest of my siblings. At least until I meet my mate. I bet she's going to be rich. She'll have a great job with tons of money, and I'll get to be her trophy husband. What a fu.cking life that would be. And I know she's going to be a girl. I know that I'm not into dudes. I tried that once.. It didn't go very far. I'll be shocked if my mate ends up a dude. Either way, guess I'm stuck with 'em. Obviously, I haven't waited for my mate like my parents pushed on us. Honestly... I just didn't see a point. Mom and Dad are stuck in the past. Times are different now. I don't know one person, aside from a couple of my siblings, that are waiting for their mates. It's just not how things are done anymore. Not that you can tell Mom and Dad that. I'm just happy they have so many kids that they overlook some things. Well, maybe they just pretend not to notice things. That would probably make more sense. Whatever. It doesn't stop me from doing what I want. Mom and Dad might be powerful, but their kids sure learned how to sneak around them. It was just last year that I finally decided I didn't want to wait for my mate. In fact, I wanted to know as much as I could. That way, when I meet her, I'll blow her mind. Even if she didn't wait for me either. I'll be the best she's ever had. She'll fall madly in love with me instantly. I will not have a chaotic mateship like the rest of my siblings seemed to have. No, mine will be different. ************************************* "Ahh, Alessio, there you are." I turned around at the sound of my older brother's voice. Azai came walking down the hall towards me. He had a huge grin on his face. Many of the school girls whispered and giggled as they watched him. It's always the same with my siblings. Girls watch my brothers like bit.ches in heat. It's kind of pathetic, but apparently normal. It makes most of the guys here really jealous. That's why they're always talking sh.it about us. Ignorant idiots. "Aren't you going to class?" Azai asked me. "Yeah, of course." I lied. "Good," Azai said with a smile. "I look forward to seeing you in history class." I smiled back at him. "Great. My favorite subject with my favorite brother," I said sarcastically. Azai laughed, and punched my arm. "Don't be a little douchebag." He said, amused. "See you later." "See ya." I replied as Azai walked away. This is Azai's first year teaching. He's been doing really well, but.. That might be because all the girls swoon over him. Like his two mates don't live here as well. These girls really have no shame. Now, where was I... Oh, right. It seems the females of my family have a completely different effect on everyone. Most of the girls and guys here hate them. The guys hate them because they want to fu.ck them. The girls hate them because they want to be them. It's all really pathetic. Of course, there are other students at this school that don't care either way. Some of them are too afraid to utter a word to us, or about us. Some couldn't care less. They just want to get through school. Those people are my favorites. They're the easiest to be around, and the only ones that treat us normally. You'd think they'd all be co.cky bas.tards that think they're more powerful than us, but most of them aren't like that. They just have good parents that raised them to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. The ones that are scared of us are fun to play with though. The girls especially, and my favorite one to play with.. Is Karina. Karina is a quiet girl. She's a Witch from a powerful family. You'd think she'd be loud like her twin sister, but she's the complete opposite. Karina is shy, full of fear, and se.xy as hell. The girl has curves for days. The students here make fun of her for 'being overweight', but I think she's perfect. She's curvy in all the right places. With a nice, big, round a.ss. One I'm determined to sink my teeth into one day. I turned the corner just as the bell rang. The hallways are completely empty. I stuffed my hands in my pockets as I shuffled through the halls. "Sh.it, I'm late." I heard someone mumble. I looked up to see the very girl I was just thinking of. Karina. I smirked as I watched her shuffle through her locker. In a flash, I was standing next to her. Karina looked up at me, and gasped. Her heart rate increased, making the large vein in her neck pop out more. Man, I'd love to sink my teeth into any part of her body. "Hey Karina." I said as I leaned my arm on the lockers above her head. Karina tried to shrink back, so I leaned in more. "H-hi Alessio." She mumbled softly. I love how innocent she always seems. It's cute. And enticing. "You're not in class. That's not like you." I said. Karina rolled her eyes. That's new. Usually she's staring at me with wide eyes, like I'm going to attack her at any time. "What would you know about what I'm like?" She asked, annoyed. Oh, someone has been having a bad day. I chuckled. Then I leaned in closer, pressing my body to hers. Karina held her breath, and tried to flatten herself against the lockers. "Who pi.ssed you off?" I asked. "W-what do you mean?" She asked. I grabbed her chin, and pulled her eyes to me. "You never talk to me like that. You're too afraid of me. So, who was it this time? I know that the other students tease you sometimes. Was it Aaron again? I can have another talk with him." I said. Karina stared at me confused. "You're the one who talked with him before?" She asked. "Yup." I replied casually. I really don't care what anyone thinks about me. No matter what I do, or how I act.. They all make up their own conclusions about me. So, I might as well do whatever I want. Which includes threatening bullies at this school. "You didn't think I'd let him continue to pick on someone as pretty as you, did you?" I asked teasingly. I moved my hand from Karina's chin, to tuck some of her brown hair behind her ear, "S-so, it was you who made him jealous." She muttered. I paused. "Jealous?" I asked. Karina's face turned a deep shade of red. "Now I get it." I said with a chuckle. "How long have you two been sleeping together?" I asked. "W-w-we a-aren't. W-we haven't." She stuttered. I leaned in until my lips were right by her ear. "You're a bad liar," I whispered. Karina's heart rate spiked even more. "I-I'm n-not lying." She whispered. "Hmmm," I said as I pushed my body into hers more. "Then how about we skip class together?" I suggested. "I'll make you feel so good that you forget all about Aaron, and every other stupid fu.ck at this school." I moved my hand down the side of her body. Karina gasped. The scent of her arousal wafted to my nostrils. "Smells to me like you wouldn't mind letting me ravish this curvy, delicious body of yours." I teased. Karina moved her hands to my chest. I growled lowly in her ear, and a shiver ran down her body. I smirked, and pressed my lips to her neck. "You smell fu.cking amazing." I told her. "Let me take a little bi- Before I could finish, someone grabbed the back of my collar and threw me. I hit the lockers behind me, and fell to my a.ss. I looked up to see Aaron standing in front of Karina protectively. He's seething, and literally foaming at the mouth. His eyes are red, and his fangs are out. "Oh, now I get it." I said, amused. I stood up, and dusted myself off. "She's your mate," I stated. Karina's eyes went wide, but Aaron didn't move at all. He must not have told her the truth. Oops. Looks like I spilled the beans. "W-we're not mates." Karina said. Aaron's entire body started to shake. Honestly, I could laugh at this whole situation. What kind of a.sshole doesn't even tell his mate that they're mates? "Oh, my bad then," I said with a smile. "Does that mean you want to get out of here with me still Karina?" I asked her. Aaron slowly turned his head to Karina. Like he's waiting to hear what she says before he attacks. Whether that attack is coming to me or her, I have no idea. "I-I never said I'd go." Karina said. "You were just about to though." I said. "Or was that someone else's arousal I was smelling?" I teased. Aaron's eyes snapped back to mine. I smirked at him, and he was just about to lunge at me. Until Karina grabbed his arm. "Will you two stop it!?" She shouted. "Stop? Why because you want to go with him?" Aaron shouted back. I wanted to enjoy listening to them argue, but this strange ringing noise started in my ears. I tried to shake my head, hoping it would stop, but it only got louder. What the hell? Suddenly, the hallway started to spin. I leaned back against the lockers to try to steady myself. Why is everything spinning? I feel like I could throw up. My body suddenly grew hotter, and it didn't stop. It's like I'm burning up on the inside. I groaned as I put my hand to my head. What the hell is this? What's happening to me? I tried to reach out to my parents through the link, but my brain is all fuzzy. "Alessio?" Is that Karina? I tried to look at her. I see three of Karina and Aaron. All six of them are tilting back and forth. "What the hell is going on with you?" I think that was Aaron. I held onto my gut as knots started to form. This sh,it hurts. What the hell is happening to me? The lights in the hallway started to flicker. All the locker doors started to open and slam closed, over and over again. The building started to shake. I can hear the pipes in the walls shaking. What the f**k? Am I doing this? Why can't I stop it? I heard a loud gasp in the hall. "What the hell is happening to him?" Someone asked. "Alessio?" Is that Azai? "Alessio!" I felt hands grip my shoulders, and I cried out. That hurt so badly. Like I was being squeezed to death. "Alessio.. you need to calm down.." Azai said. Calm down? I can barely even breathe. "What's going on?" Great now Tia is here. "What.. the hell is this? Why..?" She trailed off. It's not often we hear emotion in Tia's voice. Not even since meeting Max, and having kids, but.. This time.. it's kind of freaking me out. I tried to look at them, but everything is blurry now. "His body.. it's.." Tia trailed off. "It's like parts of him are trying to teleport or something.." Azai said. "No.." Tia replied. "It's like.. he's turning invisible." Then suddenly, everything stopped. All the pain was gone in a flash. I fell to the ground and tried to breathe. "Alessio?" Azaid shouted. Damn, why is he shouting at me? I looked up to see both Azai and Tia looking around. I frowned at them. What are they looking for? "He must have teleported home or something." Tia said. What? "I'm right here." I said. "I mind linked Mom, she says he's not there." Azai said. What the fu.ck? I tapped on Azai's shoulder, and he turned around. "I'm right here." I said. Azai looked through me with a confused expression. Then he turned around to talk to Tia. I looked down at my body. Am I.. invisible?
