Chapter 7

ONE MONTH LATER

For the whole month nothing interesting happened I became close with Nick and the band and when I look at Vanessa I always feel this pull towards her that I can’t explain or describe and whenever she was kissed by Abigail it makes me want to puke. I always want to confront her and ask what her problem is but I never got the chance because Abigail was always around of James or anyone else.

I learned that she is the captain of the cheerleading squad and James and Philex are into basketball and so on and so forth.

Nick and I are on our way to the baseball field he was wearing his jersey uniform and cleats his baseball cap and his gloves. When we arrived Roni and the rest of the gang are already there, I joined Roni and sat on the grass watching the guys do some basic warm ups and then they started to do some drills catching and throwing. Some of them were batting the cover of coke bottles or badminton rockets. Nick and Mike were practicing on their pitch and catch, how I wish I can play with them since Nick is the teams’ pitcher and Mike is the catcher the two of them are the batteries of the team.

I sighed looking at them wishing if I ever get the chance to be able to play again.

“Why don’t you join them? It’s Co-ed team you can join them if you want” Roni said.

“Uhm. Baseball is no longer my thing.” I lied well not really a lie since I did stop playing but I think my reply was me trying to convince myself instead of her.

“You say that but your eyes says otherwise especially when you look at Nick side. It’s either you admire the way he throws the ball or you like Nick or maybe both” She said wriggling her eyebrows.

“What?! No.” I defended myself, but I am really jealous of him being able to play.

“Pft. Yeah right I had never seen Nick without a girl in his arms but since you came never did I see him with a girl he doesn’t even look at girls anymore, I can say he really likes you.” She in as a matter of fact kinda tone.

“Nick is great and I like him too but,” my speech was interrupted by a loud thud at our back and when we turned to look who it was I was surprised to see Vanessa walking away and her squad with shocked expression as they looked at their captain going away.

“Weird, anyway what were you saying?” Roni asked.

“Really weird. Anyway back to the topic but Nick is like a brother to me he reminds me of someone back home he looks like Mat. Besides I think I forgot to mention I don’t swing that way” I said honestly. I didn’t realize the resemblance at first but as time passed by I can see he looks like Mat in fact someone could mistakenly accuse them of being brothers or maybe cousins.

“You mean you are as straight as a circle? Oh damn this is going to crush Nick in the ass!” Roni said laughing her ass off.

“Was it not obvious?”

“Well you do give the vibe but we just didn’t think about it since Nick is all over you and you don’t seem to be attracted to anyone.”

“I will tell Nick soon then I don’t want to lose such friendship I have with him.’’

I continued watching the team and then I remembered what happened a while ago what was that thud it sounded like something popped. Besides I have my eyes on someone she just doesn’t seem interested in me and she has a girlfriend. I shook my head and continued watching the team with Roni.

Vanessa POV

I decided to go to the field today to change the atmosphere and staying out the sun can be beneficial to our endurance as well.

I was holding the basketball ball for James when we were walking to the field and I saw Vanessa with Alex they seem to be talking and both looking at Nick pitching.

“Pft. Yeah right I had never seen Nick without a girl in his arms but since you came never did I see him with a girl he doesn’t even look at girls anymore, I can say he really likes you.” I heard Veronica say to her

I don’t know why but I stopped walking to hear what she has to say.

“Nick is great and I like him too” Nessa replied.

I don’t know why but the next thing I know my nails grew longer and I squeezed the ball too hard popping it like it was a balloon. I walked out as fast as I can because my wolf would be out any second now and I can’t allow any human to see me like this. I ran as fast as I can and when I entered the forest I shifted immediately. I ran as fast as I can without any destination in mind. I can hear James through the pack link asking if I was okay same with Philex and the others. I was starting to get dizzy from all the buzz so I turned the link off. I ran till my legs can no longer ran.

“You Idiot! Why don’t you just admit that she is our mate and that we need her!!!” Xandra growled at me.

“Shut up! You abandoned me for a month you don’t have the right to tell me something like that!” I hissed. For a month Xandra didn’t talk to me or even shifted that is why I was surprised about what happened a while ago.

“F*ck you coward you most definitely know why I left! You won’t acknowledge our mate! You even go around letting Abigail spread that she is our mate, you kiss her and you are not contented with that you even have sex with her! I will not sit around and watch you cheat on our mate! Now she found someone else! This is the last time I will shift or even talk to you. I will not be returning until you get our mate!” She said before going to the back of my mind.

I am walking in the forest alone until I spotted a leaf forming a rectangular shape. I went there and found a container with clothes in it I got me a pair of shorts and shirt and covered it back. This are scattered all around the forest for our convenience.

I walked back home thinking what to do next I never had Xandra so angry at me before this. Most of the time she shouts at me but she never left me like this I feel so abandoned right now.

You see you and your wolf are connected Xandra is like my soul without her there is no me we are two different beings but when we combine it makes a whole me. There is no I or her there is us it had always been like that since we were 4.

At 4 you can be able to hear your wolf but you can’t shift yet she was there since I was born but she only started talking when I was four which happens to all wolves and we all shift at the age of 16. Xandra is a black almost jet black with black eyes. When our wolves don’t talk to us or ignore us our bond slowly weakens and this might even lead to insanity.

“I know you are listening. How many times do I need to tell you she is not our mate! We need a werewolf as a mate to be able to give us healthy pups and be a Luna of the pack! How can she do that if she is merely a human being?! Think of the pack and how it will affect them if they have a human as a Luna before you go there and sulk.! You are an Alpha! You have responsibility to do and a reputation to up hold! If you don’t care about your pack mates then fine! Be that way! Go and sulk for all I care but I will not sulk like a fucking baby!” I grumbled and went to my room to sleep not bothering to go on a shower or eat for that matter I just want to sleep my problems away.

All mates are able to bear child at first it wasn’t but the pack doctors were able to do insemination just like humans do it. Or we can just call a mage or witch to help us and give us the reproductive organ needed.

The next morning I went to school more like dragged myself to school I didn’t bother to eat or wait for my friends, I want to savor the moment of peace for as long as I can which apparently not long enough because not an hour later I saw them walking towards me.

“Hey there what happened to you yesterday?” James asked me.

“Babe you look like a mess. If we aren’t werewolves I would probably think you are sick” Abigail said and gave me a quick peck.

“I just had a rough morning” I lied.

I looked to my left and saw Alex and Nick laughing. My blood boiled at the sight and I just want to tear Nick apart!

I calmed myself and the teacher came. I slept through all my classes until lunch time and yes no one bothered to wake me up, they can try and they will never see the another sunrise.

We arrived at the cafeteria and I saw Alex’s and her group at their usual table I don’t know what went to my mind but I grabbed my tray of food filled with spaghetti and walked towards them I “Accidently” tripped targeting Nick but to my dismay Alex stood up and walked forward.

“Ahh! What the F*ck” She exclaimed.

I was shocked to see it was her and not Nick. I was supposed to apologize but Nick stood up wiping Nessa all over the place like her belly and cleavage making my blood boil even though I don’t want to admit it!

“Watch where you’re going! I can’t believe I wasted such delicious spaghetti.” I growled and walked away before any of them can say anything else I am a bitch after all.
