"You can tell us anything, we'll sure listen to you!" Josh said.
"Oh! And if you wanna run away from all this, just say the word and I'll take you somewhere far away!" Dylan adds.
Ray stabs the knife on the counter and growled loudly at that comment.
I rolled my eyes, just when I think Dylan was being serious.
"Uh-oh, I didn't know the alpha's there too!" He said.
Ray snatches the phone from me and growled.
"I'm right here! And don't bloody think of taking my mate away from me.. or I'll hunt you down and kill you!"
He ends the call and throws the phone angrily on the counter.
I chuckle nervously, and try massaging his tensed shoulders.
"Ray, how about you sit down and let me do the cooking?"
He holds my shoulders and stare in my eyes.
"Baby, I love you, I love you so much... please don't run away, ok?"
I sigh and nod.
"I'm not think of running away, never!" I assured him.
He pulls me into a hug and releases a long breath... We stayed that way for some minutes.
"I should hurry up with the food or we'll be late for school!"
"Oh!" He releases me and steps aside.
I kisses his cheek and continue cooking.
"Belle, ya hot this morning!" Jessy said when she sees me coming out of Ray's car.
I just arrived at school and I'm near the parking lot, I met Jenny on my way.
"Chica, did Ray let you leave his mansion in this outfit?" Miss Markus asked.
I laugh and shake my head, he has left to the packhouse before I got dressed for school...else he wouldn't have let me leave.
I'm dressed in a very short black skirt that's only a few inches below my butts.. a ripped off white crop top and a see through jacket.
A black knee length boot.. I applied a very red lipstick on my lips.. I braided my hair messily, letting a few strands fall on my forehead.
I look like one of those gangster's girlfriend... well, my mate is worse than a gangster.
"Are you sure you're dressed for class?" Olivia ask in her calm voice.
They all look at me stunningly.
"I'm so dressed for class!" I told them.
"But this outfit... Ray...." Miss Markus trails off.
"Stacey, the last time you wore similar outfit, it didn't end well for you.. do you want Ray to punish you more?" Jessy asked.
"Come on, I just wanna feel like a bad girl today.. don't worry I'll get home and change before Ray gets back.. he won't know i wore this!"
Three of them didn't say anything more, they simply eye my outfit and gulp.
Honestly, I'm showing so much skin.
"Don't worry, I'm ready for any punishment Ray will give!"
"Alright then, I have English class now, I'll see you girls later!" Jessy said and rushes towards her English class.
"Let's go!" Miss Markus said.
Miss Markus, Olivia and I are headed towards the same direction, Olivia and I gave music... While miss Markus is headed to her office.
"Don't let Ray catch you in this!" Miss Markus reminds me.
"He won't!" I said and waves her as she rushes off too.
Now it's just me and Olivia. We're almost at our music class, when Juliet suddenly bumps into me.
"Watch where you're going, blind fool" she growls.
I stare at her briefly and shake my head.
"You're the least of my problems!" I said and walk past her.
I was expecting her to stop and argue with me but she didn't... Maybe she's finally grown up.
Though I saw her smirks, but didn't think too much about it.
"Olivia, you'll sit next to me today, please"
"Ok, Luna!" She said.
We walk into our music class.
Ray's POV
Meeting room...!
".... it's decided, two team will go with alpha prince to alpha Dimitri's birthday party!" Karl said.
We're discussing about my trip to Dimitri's pack to celebrate his birthday..dad just told me about it this morning.
"Henry, your fighters will lead while Tyler's fighters will follow behind the alpha's car!"
My phone suddenly beeps for the first time since I bought.. I frown and reach for it.
It's a message notification.. I open it and clenched my jaw at what I saw.
"Our mate is f$*king hot!*" Zeus purrs in my head.
"She wore this to school" I growled at Zeus.
He shuts up immediately.
I stands up abruptly and angrily throws the phone across the room.
All those unmated wolves will be ogling over her body.
"Alpha, anything the matter?" Karl asked me.
"Get me a blanket, quick!" I growled at him.
Stacey's POV
"So our singing competition is fast approaching... I hope you're all preparing well for it?" Mr Leo asked looking around the class.
His eyes settles on Juliet momentarily and I saw something like pain.. but it didn't last long.
"I wanna know how well you've prepared...."
He trails off and look around again.
"Luna, please sing a little of your song for us!" Mr Leo said.
I nod and get up, I head to the front of the class... I hear some of the boys wolf whistling.. I know it's because of my outfit.
"I'm not a good singer but please accept my voice!" I plead with them.
Some laugh as they find my words amusing and others nod... Juliet scoffs loudly.
I rolled my eyes, yeah, she's a good singer than me but she shouldn't be too proud.
I clear my throat and begin.
“I was caught off guard when I first met you”
“I can't control my palpitations”
“Is it because I'm abnormal? Or is it you shin......”
I was cut off by the sound of doors banging open.. all eyes move towards the door.
A loud gasp leaves my mouth as I saw my angry mate standing at the door.. he look so damn angry.
His eyes trails along my body and he frowns deeply.
What is he doing here?! I thought he wasn't coming to school today?!
He takes long stride towards me with something in his hands, it seem to like a.... Blanket?!
"Ray....." I trails off.
Before I knew it, he's wrapping me in the blanket, then carries me in his arms.
Without a word he heads towards the door.
Only God can save me now!
Back at Ray's mansion....!
He throws me on the bed and glares at me, I slowly unwrap myself from the blanket.
"Ray, I...." He raises his hand up and cuts me off.
"Baby, what's the meaning of this?" He asks calmly.
Though his voice is calm, I can still feel his anger.
"Why did you dress like to school?! Do you like it so much when other wolves ogle over you?"
I shake my head.
"Then why are you dressed like this?!"
"I just... I don't know!"
I couldn't find a reasonable excuse. He nods and pace to and fro in front of me.
Then he stops...
"I need to teach you a lesson that will stop you from trying to get other male's attention!"
A lesson?
"I guess you want some punishment! You want me to imprint it in your mind that you're mine!"
Oh no! I think I have an idea what kind of punishment awaits me...I feel my little confidence from earlier fade away.
I don't think I'm ready for his punishment...I don't wanna be a cripple.
"Ray, I'm sorry!"
He narrows his eyes and starts unbuckling his belt.
"Stripe!" He said in a firm voice.
I can't believe I'm gonna be a cripple at this young age!
