CHAPTER THREE

Diamond was out in the woods, her and her wolf 'jade' were having an argument on their mate Dazzy as they headed back for campus ''Dai you have to acknowledge our mate'' jade said seriously to Dai ''oh keep quiet jade! you're just a lovesick pup.....how on earth can Dazemond Lawson be our partner.... I refuse to accept it! I refuse! it's impossible'' Dai said to her wolf as an image of Dazemond passed her mind ''and stop planting his images in my brain! you lovesick wolf!'' Dai fumed as she saw a picture of Dazemond shirtless in her mind ''you'll have to accept him sooner or later *hehe* and if you don't I'll keep planting those images until you fall for his beautiful body *hehe*'' Jade said as she chuckled maniacally at the expression on Dai's face....''*urgh* annoying wolf'' Dai groaned before cutting their mind link. 

Dai walked to the basketball court after changing into her cheerleading outfit. Today was a big game, their school 'Brightsun' was playing against a neighbouring college called ' Supe high' [pronounced Souphigh]....Dai quickly spotted her friends sitting at the bleachers, so she jogged to them. ''Hey Illara, morning Cleo'' she said taking a seat beside her friend Illa the vamp hybrid ''hey Dai morning'' Cleo said in between her slurps of the kelp smoothie in her hand ''I feel some weird aura around here'' Illa said as she suddenly stood up and I was alarmed but Cleo just sneered and said '' oh shut up! you just have a crush on Paxton you lovesick witch'' I looked at Cleo confused before looking at Illa ''oh! wow!'' I gasped surprised as Illa's face was beet red as she shot Cleo a deadly glare ''Enough! Cleo don't you want to go to the powder room and check your makeup? don't forget Chase would be there'' Dai said quickly trying to mediate and it worked because the next thing Cleo screamed and left. Chase is Cleo's boyfriend and she loves him to bits and he was her mate chosen by the moon goddess...it made me both happy and annoyed because since the day Chase appeared in Cleo's life she always visits the powder room before she see's him. ''omg! omg! I totally forgot Chase is attending, I'll see you girls on the field'' with that being said Cleo ran out faster than a speeding bullet ''ok Dai, what do you want to say....I understand well the real reason you sent Cleo away'' illara said looking at Dai so seriously that it scared her 'how did she know? *sigh* no need to bother them with my problems' Dai thought as she laughed at Illara trying to downplay the situation she said ''what do you mean Illa? I have nothing to say..... I just did not want you guys to fight, that's all'' Dai said with a tense smile Illara just shot her a meaningful gaze and decided not to pursue the matter . ''by the way Illa, why is that new Lawson on the basketball field? can he also play.... I thought he was a soccer player? '' I asked confused to see him on the field warming up for the big game that's about to take place in a few minutes '' yeah, he actually can aside from being the new star soccer player... he's made a name for himself in basketball even beating the captain Kingston Lawson in the preliminary match held some weeks ago'' Illa said as I looked at Dazzy in awe.... Kingston had a good height and body build making him perfect for basketball and with his constant training he easily took the position as captain though Dazzy has the build and stamina ... he was rather average heighted so he never looked like a good basketballer.... but what can we say now. That saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' really applies here ''and there are rumors that though Dazemond may not be able to take captain since he is still a freshman but he may be able to take second in command from Chase Lockwood ''omg! he's that good but don't let Cleo hear you'' Dai said with a slight chuckle which made Illa laugh '' I want her to hear so she would know her boyfriend is not all that good, the pesky shapeshifter''Illa sneered as she had this evil glint in her eyes Dai just shook her head at her hopeless friend, Dai sighed and finally said '' I found my mate.'' Illa looked at her for a second before bursting into laughter like full teeth showing tear causing laughter ''omg! you're so funny Diamond '' Illa said in between he uncontrollable laughter but she calmed down when she noticed that Dai was dead serious '' oh my gosh! you're serious ?!..... that's great news right? so why do u not look happy'' Illara asked Dai concern etched on her face as Dai let out a inaudible sigh '' I honestly don't know why I am not happy... my mate is Dazemond though I think he is also pretending not to know'' Dai said her feelng complicated as she told Illara everything. the reason she even chhose to single out Illara is because they are closer and met earlier before becoming a trio with Cleo ''what!?! how could that happen. he's your family rival.... does your parents know?'' she asked in concern and she felt her heart warm by the love of her friend '' no they don't at least not yet''. Dai said after a few moments of silence.

In the callisto pack they were different grades of family. there are the rich and powerful family[the upper class], the average nouveau riche family[ the middle class] and the lower class people[ the poor families].'The callisto pack' is the name of their continent of supernatural beings. Diamond's pack 'the crystal pack' are the prolific and strongest wolf pack in their land of supernaturals followed by Tiffany's pack. Then the Lawsons were the strongest fairy family in the callisto pack. The crystal pack and The Lawsons were best buddies for about 10 generations when suddenly the current elders got greedy and a war broke out they called it ''THE DARK AGES'' the biggest families went into a full blown war, the middle class families had to chose either to support the crystal's and go against the Lawsons or support the Lawsons and go against the crystal's but anyone you choose to support at that time really didn't matter as blood still flowed immensely until the two families were forced to sign a peace treaty by the reigning king and queen of the callisto pack at that time and now it had been like 5 decades and the hate still goes on though neither party crosses the other in reverence to the ancient piece treaty and now the moon goddess pairing of dazemond and Diamond is like a mockery to their ancestors .

Despite the rivalry Dai did not hold any prejudice against the lawsons. she just tried to avoid them to honour her ancestors . Diamond's ambition was to rule over her crystal pack and make it greater than it is but her father Alpha Damon had other plans, he sent Dai to Brightsun so that she can run for the queen of the supernaturals but Dai wasn't all that interested but she enrolled in the school just to make her parents happy and she could already imagine her father's breakdown when he finds out that Dazemond Lawson was her mate.....'' he is a fairy Dai and that to a pure one they don't have wolves shouting mate in their brain you know...'' Illa reminded me kindly ''plus he may not know that you sre his mate yet and you have to tell him because getting a mate is a wonderful experience and he deserves to know'' she added her face serious. I just sighed and said'' Everything is just overwhelming, I'll think about it and honestly family rival apart I not a fan of Dazzy normally and this mate bond if just....*urgh* '' I groaned in pure frustration ''just make sure you talk with your parents, okay?'' Illa reminded seriously ''Okay'' Dai responded before Cleo came running back to them panting '' alright guys, what did I miss?'' ''nothing much''Illa anwered with a shrug '' I don't have your time Illa plus we are late the game is starting and as the cheer captain I am supposed to be first to arrive *urgh* see you gyals later'' Cleo said before running off to the field like the wind, Illa and Dai laughed at their friends rough state ''we better get going before tiffany and Anna give her a rough time as tiff wasn't selected as cheer captain'' Dai said concern etched on her as her and Illa headed for the cheer stands '' don't worry too much she just all bark and no bite....so.... LET'S CHEER!!!!!!!!!'' Illara said shaking her pompom's for dramatic effect while Dai laughed at her friends sillyness.
