Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: From Irritation to Jealousy

Frizabelle

4th week – Monday

I woke up from my dreamless slumber within my room and did my morning routine in my bathroom but what surprised me was I'm totally at peace. Meaning, there was no interrupting my sleep or even making shout from the bathroom because there was a pervert who was suddenly gonna pop out of nowhere. Seriously, just recalling that night made my blood boil when Ceres suddenly entered my bathroom without knocking, which she saw me wet and nude. I could still feel the way she stared at my whole body like she's already touching them but actually, it was her eyes.

"Dammit!" I groaned as I splashed my face with such cold water since my face was turning hot as I recalled those lustful gaze from Ceres.

'As if you didn't like it.'

"Shut up, Lena." I groaned once again since I was embarrassed and yes, partly, Lena was right, I've kinda like it - I think?

"Gosh, what's going within me…" I whined as I finished fixing myself at the bathroom and wore my usual clothing before heading downstairs.

As I was walking down, I felt something was different this morning. First, someone or somebody was going to greet me, ask how's my sleep or even my parents teased me about having Ceres staying within my room - well, she sleeps on the couch; but there was none. It was a bit odd that no one greeted my morning like they used to be. Second, there was no irritation floating around the house - I mean, I didn't smell her scent lurking around the whole house.

"She's not here…that's new…" I mumbled while I walked down the hallway toward the kitchen.

As I reached the kitchen, I could smell my favorite hot chocolate mint which made my morning really peaceful. I took the cup and drank them slowly which I smiled each after my sip. As I was done drinking it, I checked if there's any saved meal for me and I was not surprised to see on the counter table my two sliced bacon, one sunny side up, a cup of fried garlic rice. I salivated from the smell of my breakfast. I ate them quietly as I enjoyed them all by myself at the kitchen island.

7:50 am

"OH SHIT!" I shouted as I saw the clock at the kitchen.

I wanted to hurry but even though I rushed out, I was definitely going to be late, so I just let it go. I continued my breakfast not minding that I was late and I never made it even if I hurry.

"Now I see why no one was here at the house." I said while finishing my meal then cleaned afterwards then ran to school with my favorite motorbike Dark.

I should be enjoying my drive but I didn't because if I didn't, it will be better to just absent for the day. But if I did that, my parents - well, my mother definitely would be the one who'll lecture me till night. So, its better to be late instead of being locked within one room with my mother.

8:30 am

I arrived at the school parking lot and parked my baby at its usual spot which was not that far from the woods. I'm also glad that no one dared to park on this spot; maybe there are afraid of something that was lurking within the woods since some deers and wolves were seen roaming around there. When I said wolves are the typical wolf and not werewolves like us in the pack. Anyway, again, I sneaked in so I won't be receiving any detention slip and good thing the coast was clear again. I moved quietly toward my locker to get my things for the next class I have for this Monday morning. I was in the middle of getting my things when a familiar voice with a very-very familiar scent which could send my nose to flare.

"Sneaking again wasn't a good idea." Ceres said as she caught me again sneaking around my locker.

"Same back at you." I said without meeting her gaze that really made me shiver. I can tell that she's watching my back so intently and that was not good for my heart at this rate. It was pounding really hard.

"Okay…see you tomorrow then." Ceres flatly said which made me flinched a little then she walked away without waiting for my reply.

I don't understand why I suddenly flinched on her blank tone when she said it. It was like I was being soaked with cold water which led me to think for the reason and I recalled that it was Monday. Meaning, I don't have music classes which were under her. I know I should be smirking but I found nothing formed onto my lips, just plain blank as always. I sighed.

After I got my things for the second subject which was math, I went there not too early but early enough not to be late. Anyway, inside the class there were some faces I knew since we had the same classes which I'm mostly late since I'm not a morning person. They greeted me at the same time they teased me again for being late but I just shrugged my shoulders as I went to sit which was located almost at the back near by the window. Everyone inside the classroom has their own group businesses like some were doing makeup, chatting about cool games, laughing at each other's foolishness and some were just like bookworms who love to read whatever caught their attention. But for someone like me, I just be quiet at the corner and listen to my random playlist on the phone with headphones on my ears. I was lost within the music through my ears while I was looking at the window next to me which made me sing Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade.

This is not what I intended

I always swore to you I'd never fall apart

You always thought that I was stronger

I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

As those lines came out from my lips, I suddenly recalled the time when those vampire rogues came on our territory which I have taken charge of. But I was still in the training on leading a pack but Ceres, being with her at that time, made me believe that I can be strong even if part of me was afraid to fail the pack. But she never let me flatter and take charge.

'You love her from the start.'

I heard Lena pinpoint those lines through my head which made me sighed mentally since it was true but I wasn't sure back then well, even now - I think?

Oh, but hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

It's impossible

I can't believe that I am singing these lines because seriously, only part of me really felt some feelings toward Ceres but I can't just let myself fall easily. But these past few weeks, I think it was getting worse each time she's not showing her affection toward me - wait it didn't come out right?

'It does come out right. You are just in denial of your feelings toward her - our mate. OUR Ceres.'

Lena answered my thought even though I'm not asking her about it. I just groaned through my mind and I think she was right.

'Of course, stupid head.'

I didn't say anything and just kept singing the bridge of the song.

So breathe in so deep

Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep

And hold on to your words cause talk is cheap

And remember me tonight when you're asleep

I suddenly shook my head since I'm not liking the line of the song because it seriously reflects my desire toward Ceres. I wanted to cry about those hidden desires lying deep within my heart. I have my reason for not letting them out for a while since I want to know - I mean, I want to make sure that we're in love with each other not because of the 'mate thing'. I hope it was something more beyond that pull.

As I stopped from singing, I could feel my classmate's eyes were on me because I just sang in front of them which I usually don't. I shook my head as I ignored them till the bell rang and Ms Anderson came and started the second class, math. But before she could even start, there was a girl with pale skin but has kissable lips which made me guess that she was a vampire. But there was something off about her aside from having a nerd appearance – you know, thick round glasses with vest and tie. Seriously, she needs to do something with her frizzy bed-hair right now. Knowing some bitches here would definitely bully her because of her appearance.

"This is Ms Avery Santos, she'll be studying with us this semester so please treat her kindly." Ms Anderson introduced her that made the 'bitches' make fun of her clothing. See what I mean…

"Kindly seat next to Ms Marshall, Frizabelle raise your hands please." She told her as I sighed from hearing my name but then, I did what she asked.

Seeing my hand raised, Ms. Anderson pointed at me which made her nod before she went to the vacant seat next to me. Then Ms Anderson resumed her class. Some students were listening to her but like what I said the bitches will start doing their thing called bully. They were throwing some trash paper on the new student – seriously, these human bitches. I sighed then I glanced at her who seems like not minding what they've been doing to her on her first day of Math class.

"Join us at lunch." I patted her shoulder while looking at the board.

She flinched but she nodded at me. I heard some bitches were shocked by what I did to her. I chuckled under my breath until I was called.

"Ms Marshall, kindly answer this." Ms Anderson called me as she pointed what she wrote on the board but I just sighed. I might know the answer when I see it but I'd rather not to.

"Equals, I don't know the answer. Sorry ma'am." I honestly answered her that made the others giggled.

"I see, then please focus and listen to the discussion." Ms Anderson said with a sighed on her smile. Yes, she smiled because she knew that even though I'm not entirely paying attention to her, she guaranteed that I would still get A or B grades on any quizzes or exams. I have few teachers at home which include her and Ceres.

After Math class, I went to the locker with the newbie and surprisingly her locker was just next to mine, again. I leave everything at the locker except for my wallet and phone then lock it as I wait for her. When she's done, we went to the cafeteria and at last I'm overjoyed with my meal that was waiting at our table. My chocolate mint! I missed them. I took Avery's hands with mine then dashed to our table. I knew that she was surprised by that but what more surprised her that she'll be hanging with us, wolves. I even let her sit next to me while we ate our lunch but to Avery, she was just drinking blood on her black jag.

"Here have some taste of human foods." I told her as I gave a share of my tuna sandwich.

"I'm still not used to eating human foods." Avery said with her shy voice.

"Then try a pinch." I insisted which Avery tried. All of us at the table looked at her as we waited for her reaction. She was about to say something when someone irritated my nose and made me sneeze.

"Ohho...she's here…" Nate and Ethan teased me which made me glare at them.

"Who?" Avery asked curiously.

"Her mate." Yume answered while grinning.

"Why sneeze then?" Avery asked which really made me in the hot seat.

"Oh Avery, Frizabelle here was totally irritated over her mate's scent that's why she sneezed." Ethan answered which I kicked his leg underneath the table but he just laughed at it.

"Not just that, she was always at the edge when her mate was close to her." Nate joined, which seriously did not help me.

Avery was just giving us the awe look which made me hide my face and exactly Ceres came as she leaned to whisper to my ears.

"How's the meal?" Ceres asked closely to my ear which I groaned over the shiver that she sent down to my spine. Seriously, lately I've been behaving differently around her like I was aware of her feelings for me though I hate her scent.

"Perfect by the way…" I replied as I forgot that we're not alone.

I was about to introduce Avery but instead, I was the one who was shocked by what I'm seeing now. She was staring at Avery from head to toe which made me groan again. But I also glared at her closeness to Avery but Ceres just chuckled over my reaction.

"CERES!" I madly shouted at her that made everyone look at our table.

Take note, almost the majority of the students whether human or wolf here were members of a pack. Ethan, Nate and Yume were keeping their laughs on their own but I was really mad right now. I growled at them which made Avery flinched and Ceres, she just chuckled teasingly.

"You!" I was trying to control myself from whatever I'm feeling right now.

Ceres didn't care at all; she leaned even closer to the confused Avery like she was about to kiss Avery's neck or even sucked her blood in front of me. Seriously in front of me! I was deeply mad right now. I know I have some desires and control them but I'm not used to this side at all whenever she's doing this crazy stunt in front of me. I acted like a jealous girlfriend.

I HATE THAT THOUGHT THE MOST!

'Just admit it. You love her.'

"SHUT UP!" I shouted mentally to Lena but she just laughed at my reaction.

I was feeling so hot and I started to quiver over my madness over it. I growled deeply and almost made me half shift here since my claws are showing on my right hand. Avery was shaken up when she saw that but Ceres slightly giggled which made my temper turned into something red and hot. Ceres noticed that which made her rush to my side.

"Chill or I will take you here. Laters." Ceres whispered to my ears with her seductive voice. I blushed when I realized what she meant by that.

Ceres giggled sweetly as she nuzzled her nose to my neck to smell my scent then kissed my neck. When she did that, I seriously felt really hot and I know it was written onto my face. I was stunned and my temper was forgotten as she left our table like nothing happened there. I shook my head when I came back to my senses, I wanted to rip someone's head right now and that's her!

"So that's your mate." Avery said with her knowing tone which made me feel embarrassed even more.

Seriously, my heart won't stop pounding like a sports cars' speed.

Ceres

After that teasing lunch with the new student who I met before meeting the sneaking Belle earlier at the hall, my hunger for my mate was really getting high. It was burning and I'm getting there. So close on losing my control and I don't know how long I can keep my hands off her.

I want to mark her permanently but not now. I must contain myself from drinking her blood – what I mean, her aroused blood that came from loving me. That kind of blood from her that I must wait for.

But earlier at the cafeteria, she's feeling it that made me almost bite her on the spot but no. Control is a must for now. Not to mention, this was getting more interesting since her irritation over me was shifting in such jealousy and it was showing on the surface which always took her off guard. I'm loving it. I'm loving her completely. Soon, she'll be mine and she can't escape from that.
