Chapter 13 - CHAPTER TWELVE

JAMIE

I'm so hurt.

Just when I thought I had finally found love,someone that could fill the space Theressa left behind. She rejected me,she said no.

When did life get so complicated?.I'm the alpha of my pack for fucksakes...I have to be a leader,I can't go back to being depressed and unstable.

I'm jerked to reality by the knock on my office door."Alpha,it's urgent",my beta's voice went."Well,come on in then",I said. Time to be the leader. I sat back on my chair,trying to relax as the door was unlocked then my beta Andrew walked in. He is dressed in a black shirt,black sweatpants. I have never really seen Andrew dressed in any other colour. Eversince he became able to shift,he embraced black. Plus,his hair is jet black and also,the hardened expression that is always on his face. He is handsome but then when you look good and you keep this cold,hardened expression on your face all the time,it tends to drive the ladies away. Hazel eyes,pointed nose,full lips..tanned skin..all muscle...but he scares the ladies away with just one look.

"Alpha,he has been sighted",Andrew said as I stare at him in realization. I nodded slowly trying to take in what I just heard."He has been sighted a lot of times and he hasn't exactly done anything threatening yet",I said as he shook his head in disagreement.

"It's different this time. He is gathering more packs,forming new alliances. Making promises that the weaker packs can't turn down",he said as I sighed. This has got to be a joke. Just when I thought I finally had things under control

I just couldn't let this whole situation spiral out of my hands again.

"He isn't a threat...yet but that does not hinder me from making plans. Set up a meeting with the pack elders",I said as he nodded in agreement.

"Alpha,I swear to God if that bastard comes at us again..I will tear him apart...that much I can do for Theressa",he said as I shut my eyes for a second.

It's been two years now since the death of my mate.

I cannot get over it...even now,it still hurts. Icould not do anything to save my mate. That is what hurts the most.

Like an open wound,it hurts like an open wound.

"Whoever gets to him first,kills him",I said,anger evident in my voice.

"I will get to it then"he said giving me a nod as he walked out of my office.

Once Andrew was gone,I got up from my seat and walked towards my window,standing by it. Andrew lost his only sister because of me...he lost his sister because I did not protect her enough. And here I was,for my own selfish reasons. I wanted Adrianna to assume the post of the Luna.

That bastard is still out there. I swear to God,I will more than tear him apart. For Andrew,for me and for taking away my mate...that asshole will pay dearly.

ADRI

"Ouch!", I yelped in pain with a loud crash to the floor,followed by a girl's squeal.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you. It's just I'm late for class and I hate being late. I am never late",the voice boomed as I took a look at the girl who owned the voice. Red haired,wearing glasses,small lips,grey eyes,and a perfectly sized nose that fit into her face.

"Slow down there tiger. You don't have to apologise. I'm actually in a rush to get to class too",I said as I grabbed my books from the floor then helped myself up.

"That makes two of us",she said with a chuckle as she got up, dusting the butt of her blue pencil skirt she was wearing alongside a grey turtle neck crop top."What class though?",she asked.

"Geography",I answered as her eyes lit up."No way!.That's where I'm headed,come on",she said as we walked side by side to class.

"I'm Nina by the way",she said with a smile."Adrianna Casper",I said,smiling too. I had a feeling I just made a new friend aside Lumi and the boys.

Awesome.I can't wait to introduce her to the group during lunch. I never got to do that though.

I walked into class and I immediately spot brown Jacoby hair."Oh,you have got to be kidding me!',I said frustrated.

"What's wrong?",Nina asked as I shook my head. I grabbed her by the elbow,walked over to where Danny was and sat in front of Danny.

"Are you watching me too?!,I questioned as he gave me a dashing smile.

"Hello to you too. I trust you had a wonderful night",he said with a wink as I groaned.

"Seriously, you guys have to stop this. Latin class it was Keith, now it's you. Did Daniel put you up to this?",I asked.

"I take Geography okay. I can be in this class",he said."That's bullshit. You have never attended this class since the beginning of the school year. Why the sudden change of heart?",I asked as he shrugged.

"I guess I realised it's about time I took my studies serious",he said with a grin as I groaned. I give up on him and Keith.

Daniel is the one who has a lot of explaining to do.

"What was that all about?,Nina asked. I totally forgot I dragged her to come sit with me.

"It's nothing major. I just wanted to confirm something",I said as she nodded taking a bite of her chocolate chip cookie.

"Hey,how did you get yourself a cookie?".

"It's homemade. My dad makes them for me",she said with a smile.

"Awwwwn, your dad is so sweet",I said as she smiled some more.

"I know right. You want some?",she asked.

"Oh no. Thanks though",I said as she nodded.

"To think we were in such a hurry to get to this class.

The teacher is nowhere in sight",she said as I laughed.

"One good thing came out of it though,"I said.

"What?",she asked,biting her cookie.

"I made a new friend",I said as she smiled.
