Beep...Beeep...Beeeeeep...Beeeeeeeeep BEEEEP BEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEPBEEEEEEEEPBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. Uhg. This annoying, screechy sound, would be my alarm clock, persistently trying to tell me to get up and face yet another Monday school day. You might think that the alpha shouldn’t have to go to school, and I would agree, but apparently we do. I throw my hand out and slap my clock, effectively shutting it up. Now just for the getting up part. I slowly open one eye, only to be blinded by sunshine streaming through my window. Great, now I’m tired and blind, I think sourly. Excepting my defeat, I get out of bed and make my way into my bathroom, turn on the shower, extra hot, and step in. Even though I would rather be asleep, a good hot shower is always a nice way to start the day. After getting dressed in my normal, jeans and a tee-shirt, I head downstairs, eat my breakfast and drive, on my royal blue motorcycle, to school.
As I stepped off, I realized that the attention was off me for once. Weird, even though not all the students are weres, they still give me respect. Never wanting to be out of the loop, I head over to Jace, and some of his friends.
“What’s with the crowd over there?” I ask, nodding towards the school doors where a mob has convened.
He looks down to me, yes looks down, I’m only 5’4’’ in human form, and says, “I don’t know, I think there’s a new kid.”
“Oh.” Was all I said, because I had already moved on. This would only last a day at most, then everything would be back to normal, or so I thought.
As I make my way into first period, I run into someone, and am about to tell them off for being in my way, but stop, because suddenly, my heart stutters, and my whole body heats up. I look into the strangers eyes and see feel a pull towards him, and as if I recognize him from somewhere. He has coal black hair, that frames his bright blue eyes perfectly. His skin is tan, and he’s probably around 6”2’. Wait he has a wolf sent lingering on him. It was obviously hidden, but still I can sense it hiding behind his cover. I wonder who he could be, and why he is in our territory. Just as I am about to confront him on it, the bell rings. I give him a small warning growl and stalk off, leaving a very surprised werewolf to wonder how I knew his secret.(Jace’s POV)
I. Hate. School. It truly, honest to god, sucks. To put it nicely, school is a waste of my time. The only semi redeeming part is the girls, they see a guy that’s hot, like me, and are willing to murder their best friend. I mean I can’t complain about it, because there is nothing better than a sad girl in need of a shoulder on which to cry. Coz babe, I can be that shoulder, but it’s also amusing to watch how pathetic they are. For example, the other day I was walking down the hall, and some random cheerleader came up to me and started to flirt with me, suddenly, up came the girl that had just been laughing and talking with her, and she started to flirt with me also. Girl number 1, then stomps on Girl number 2’s foot with her high heel, and then promptly shoves her out of the way. I later learned that these girls use to be best friends. This is one reason why Alea calls them “The Slut Heard.”
As I think of this, I can’t help but let out a small laugh, this earns me a glare from our L.A. teacher, Mr. Landim.
“Mr. Ryans, you seem to think something is humorous, care to share with the class?” He asks, smiling, delightedly, in a way that reminds me of a fox that has cornered a rabbit. Everyone in the room turns to me with looks of pity and curiosity.
“Ummmm.” I reply not really wanting to voice my opinion on the female student body.
“Well, what is it Mr. Ryans?” He persists.
“Uh, just that... Uh well—” I start but am interrupted by the bell, signaling the start of lunch, and the brief intermission between the torture they call education at this hell hole of a school.
“Oh I have to go to lunch now Mr. Landim, I’ll have to tell you some other time.” I say, as I make my hasty retreat. Wow, that was a close one. As I make my way into the cafeteria, I head over to my normal table, with the rest of the pack. I wonder where Alea is. Hmmm, probably telling a teacher why they were wrong in whatever they were trying to force, i mean teach, to her. As I scan the cafeteria I can’t help but notice that Layna is looking extra hot today, wait no, I can’t think that. She is Alea’s best friend, and obviously she doesn’t share the feelings.
I see Alea walk in, and all the heads in the room turn towards her, before they resume their earlier conversations. You see, Alea isn’t like most alpha’s, she has amazing powers that have never even been heard of before. She can control elements, read all other weres minds, talk to all weres in their minds, and that's only the beginning. Even more, her entire body radiates power, it’s really amazing.
She casually walks over to us and sits in her normal seat, the one in the very center of the room, and begins to eat others lunch. Suddenly she sits up straight and scoots her chair closer to mine and looked up at an approaching human. Which was weird, considering all the humans know enough to stay away form our table. I look up and say
“What do you want?” Already smirking knowing that Alea will chew him out, and then humiliate him. I imagine that it will go something like her showing dominance telling him to get lost, then as he walks away the water fountain will “malfunction” and spay all over him. I mean who does he think he is?
“Umm, well I was wondering if you guys had room for one more?” He replies timidly. Good, he should be afraid of us. I see him look over at Alea and— wait is he checking her out? He better not be, everyone knows she is off limits. I see all of us look over to her, waiting for some snide remark about his lack of brain cells, but instead she just looks at me and says in the pack link
‘Can you take care of this? I am really tired today.’ In almost a pouting voice.
‘Ahh, come on Lee, I was really looking forward to seeing your treatment of this guy. I was going to be the best part of my day.’ I say hopefully.
‘No Jace! That’s horrible. How could you be so inconsiderate.’ She scolds, even though her the tips of her lips are twitching up, telling me shes joking.
‘Okay, fine. I’ll get rid of him for you.’ I say sighing in defeat. It sometimes sucks to have a more powerful older sister, even though I love her.
‘Thanks Jacey!’ She says in a singsong voice, showing how happy she is to have gotten her way, again.
“Hey kid. The answer is no. Now get lost.” I said, making it as brief as possible.
“Oh, okay.” He says ashamedly, before quickly walking to sit elsewhere. Huh, I wonder why Alea really didn’t want to deal with him. Oh well, I’ll find out tonight.
