She is Human

Cain's POV

"Yes, of course" Samantha said, "But why Dale Ven?"

"I can sense Stephen is there" Rica answered.

So we moved town because of an alpha from a different pack, being dragged here will only make it difficult to find my mate.

"Koren, you look unwell, are you okay?" Samantha asked, looking at me, her son.

That's my mother, Samantha, the luna of this pack I'm part of, well, my family runs most of the business this pack has, whatever it is. Being part of this, well, not such a big deal for me, they always tell me, I'll be the next alpha when my father dies. Now that's not a good thing. I love my father and he's one of the people I so admire.

My mother, not as strong as my father, though stronger than the others of the pack but seems to be always questioning everything.

"Nothing" I answered.

That was two days ago when we were in Costa. You can say we travel as a pack and it's quiet tiring, we were even branded by the other packs as nomads or something. Well, we do have our origin of a town but I was never really there. I was born in a different town. The pack kept moving, as if having an adventure or a journey of something and now the reason is to catch Stepehen in his unlawful ways of killing.

Gonna have to start again in a new school, most of the time, always the new kid in town, or whatever you call that.

I'm at the school now, anyway.

What's that smell? Like lilacs and lavender, or something. When I entered the room, the homeroom teacher was introducing me.

My eyes were fixated at the girl with gray or something purplish eyes. She smells so good from here. I am so glad now that I'm dragged here in this new town.

Introduction done and all, lucky me, I got to seat beside her. She's gorgeous! Damn it! I can't stop looking at her then she turned. I can feel her annoyance at my action. But I can't help it.

Now she's thinking I'm weird and creepy. How did I do that? Well, I feel like she said something in her thoughts along that line.

"What's your name?" I asked but she ignored me so I asked again.

"She's Alesha Mirsten" someone answered for her, the girl seating at her left side. She's pretty, blonde and all that.

"Lovely name" I managed to say.

She looked at me and smiled. She's definitely beautiful!

Break time and so I followed her... into the library.

Does she loves books? I wonder.

"Okay, so I'll head back and unpack the boxes of new book deliveries so I have to leave you two" the girl with hazel eyes and pixie cut named Gellie said and smiled at me, "Nice meeting you Koren."

They can call me Koren or Cain, not that it matters, they always call me Koren.

"Uhm, why do you wanna see me?" Alesha asked, looking at me with that beautiful eyes.

"Nothing."

"That's pretty not so good for me" she said, "Sorry but it's kind of weird, yes, as you mentioned in class."

"Alesha, sorry about that, I just can't resist."

What the hell? Did I just say that to her? Well, that's the anyhow.

"What do you mean by that?"

I pulled her right wrist and then held her hand with both of my hands.

"I found you."

She was startled but well, what can a love-stricken werewolf do when he found his mate? Well, only happens once so yeah, this is how I reacted.

Okay, well, I am a werewolf, obviously so when I mentioned I'm in a pack and my parents are the alpha and luna.

"Found me?" Alesha's eyes are wide with surprise or well something like that.

"Yes" I answered.

"For what?"

"Can we go somewhere else other than in this 'Keep silent' place?"

"Why should I go with you? I don't even know you that much and I just met you" her eyes now have streak of nervousness I can't exactly placate.

Not sure how to respond to that but is she not attracted to me like how I am attracted to her?

Esha's POV

"Why should I go with you? I don't even know you that much and I just met you."

This guy is being too cool with me and chummy. What does he want? My curiosity still got the worse of me compared to my warning signals inside to not concede.

"You wanna know what I found you for?" he said.

"Look, okay, let's get out of the library and you can tell me at the school's ground where I can ran and everyone will see and hear of me if I scream if you ever do something unpleasant" there you go, me just going off like that.

I hate you curiosity, sometimes, tsk.

He chuckled and held my hand and we went outside into the school ground.

Why am I even allowing him to hold my hand? Esha, are you going out of your mind somewhere not here?

"You have beautiful eyes, Alesha" he said.

"My eyes are odd, what's beautiful about them?" Does he even know what he's saying? No one pays much attention to me. I'm just plain ordinary and the girl beside one of the popular girls in school (a.k.a. Clara).

"They are beautiful, in between a night sky and a metallic sheen" he said.

"Cain, if that ever be one of your name, you told me a while back that you will tell me why you said you found me, right?"

His face changed a bit, like surprised and amused, I can't exactly describe.

"Oh yes" he said, like someone snapped at him to regain his composure, "That is because you're my mate."

Mate? What are we? In some kind of a movie?

I furrowed my brows at him and crossed my hands, is he on drugs?

"Are you not --- ?"

He stopped talking immediately and instead, pulled me so close to him. I was taken aback and I heard footsteps coming towards us. I want to turn and look but he held me so tightly close to him.

"What are you doing here?" I heard him asked to whoever that was.

"Jeez, you always give a cold shoulder Koren, can you cool down a bit?" I heard a female voice answer.

I feel a bit strange hearing this woman's voice. I tried to free myself again from Cain but still held me in place.

"Why are you here?" Cain asked again.

"Who's that? Your new plaything?" I stiffened from what she said.

Plaything? Me? Did he find me because I'm his mate, or whatever, or just a plaything? I tried to free myself again but to no avail.

"Shut up Saab" Cain said, "She is not my plaything, don't you dare touch her."

"Or else what?" she teased, more like in a mocking voice, "Do slash at me again?" she continued.

I was able to free myself a bit to look at the woman speaking.

She has reddish curls and her eyes are light brown, perfect on her face. She's wearing leather tight long pants and a tank top and a leather jacket. She kinda remind me of some rockstar with her get up.

"You girl should be careful if I were you" she said, "Okay, I'm off, no need to know why I'm here cause you'll know soon."

Then she looked at me from head to toe (more like shoes) like observing some specimen. She smirked and turned then walked away.

"What was that?" I asked.

So now I'm gonna free myself completely from him but he held me in place again.

"Alesha, you're human" he said.

Of course I am, what is he saying?

"I thought you were --- " he stopped again.

Is this a game, Mr. Thales?

"I have to go and you need to let go of me now or I'll scream" I threatened. He chuckled.

"I like you."

What???

"Don't play with me" I said, "Let go of me now, you're crazy, even if this is your first day here, I think I don't have to tolerate this much" now you got it.

He gently free me from him.

"Sorry" he apologized, "But what I said is true."

I just gave him a blank look and turned around to leave.

Cain's POV

"Alesha, you're human" I stated.

Why is she human? That seer said my mate is also a werewolf and now what is this? But I can't just ignore this strong feelings.

"I thought you were --- " I stopped myself, what if she did not turned yet that's why she does not know or something.

She's gonna scream huh? She was talking about me letting her go. I did.

"I like you" out of the blue I said those words. Her face registered nothing and it kind of hurts, is my mate cold?

Maybe this is a mistake but how can it be?

I watch her walk away. I will look over her, still, especially that Saab is here. Why is that woman turning up here, anyway? If she found out Alesha is my mate, she might do something bad to her. I am not yet as strong as my parents and my wolf transformation is still new. Saab is two years older than me and had her transformation earlier than me. She's also strong for being the daughter of my father's beta.

She even said I will slash her despite it not being true. She was the one who cheated on me. Being naive some years ago, I was smitten to her but well, just that, a crush but nothing more. She's beautiful and strong. And everyone in the pack were expecting her to be my luna but I never really had that connection I am feeling towards Alesha.

She's still human. Did she really not know that she might really be one of us?
