—Zoë Wesley—
I got up early in the morning to jog into the woods at the back of our house. I wear my gym bra and gym leggings. I tied the laces of my sketcher rubber shoes. I plug my earphones on my ear and put my iPod on the pocket brace on my extended arm.
'Keynie... I am going to jog.' I call out. Maybe he's still sleeping. So, I ran into the woods.
I used my super speed. Though I haven't had my wolf and shifted, I have this skill because of my immortality. But I slow down and just jog like humans would do before anyone can see me. I stopped and sensed someone staring at me. I turned my back and looked in the woods but there's no one. But I know that someone is there.
My sports watch beeps and it's time for me to go back. I run to our house and when I enter the door I can smell the pancake. Oh my, there are also eggs and bacon. I went to the kitchen and Keynes tossed the towel to me. I wiped my face and neck. I am famishing already.
'Get ready... breakfast is almost ready.' He told me. I nod at him.
I walk to my room opening the curtains with a snapped of my hand. I removed my shoes and threw them somewhere. I walked to my beautiful bathroom and removed all my clothes and put them on the laundry basket. I stepped on the shower and cold water ran on my body.
I am only wearing my bathrobe when I get out of the bathroom. I was about to close the curtains when I saw a gorgeous body next door. He was a hunk but all I can see is his back. He only had a towel around his waist and that ass... is like from the Greek statues. I closed it and removed my bathrobe.
I walk naked to my almost empty closet. I had settled my clothes when the first night we came here. I slipped into my lacey garnets. Then I choose a sleeveless black blouse and my leather black coat that's cut over the waist and brown leather jeans. I blow dry my hair and curls it a bit. Then I wear my black leather shoes with a hidden wedge. I love black that's why I am black.
I headed to the kitchen where Keynes is already waiting for me while he's reading the daily news. I sat on the breakfast stool and looked down on my pancakes with bacon on top.
'Eat a lot.' He told me.
'Bon appétit!' I told him and he smiled. He's wearing a black tank top and six pockets black shorts. 'What's your work?' I asked as I cut my pancakes into small cubes.
'I work as a new trainer for young kids.'
'Great! I love kids... but you don't mind if I babysit? Chase told me that Mr and Mrs Jackson are hiring a nanny. For every Wednesday night to babysit their three-year-old baby. Can I Keynie? Pretty please....' I asked him with puppy eyes. He looked away. 'They need a babysitter when they have to go to the Pack night meeting.'
'Okay... I'll think about it...'
'No! Don't think about it! Say YES, now!'
'Okay...' he said. I shrieked and hopped out from standing and ran to him to hug him. 'I am going to pick you up after the babysitting.'
'Aye!' and I went back to my food.
Keynes calls me that we are going to be late. When I was already outside the house, I gasped on the four-by-four truck. There's Chase, Gab, Sam, and Harris. They pull the covers at the back of the truck, and my eyes widen. They brought me a bike! Woah! I bet it has a great engine.
'Surprise!' they shout.
'You guys!' I giggle and I run to them, giving them hugs and kisses. They helped each other by putting the four big bikes on the ground. The red and black one is mine. I eyed Keynes with folded arms while smiling. 'You planned this?' I grin. He smiled lopsidedly.
'You like it?' he asked. I shook my head and walked to him.
'I love it.' He gives me a big hug.
'Okay, take care. Don't over speed. Boys take care of her highness.' He told them. They saluted.
I rode on my bike and put my helmet on.
—Nathan Gregg—
I didn't expect that my mate was just next door. I looked out my window, peeping on her while she's lying on the bed. Then morning came and I had to jog into the woods and a coincidence came and she's jogging too. She's fast and I can say that she's not a human. I hid before she saw me. Then she ran back to their house.
I stepped into my bathroom and took a bath for a long time thinking about her. She was damn sexy and curvy. I lust for her. I never lusted anyone before. But on her... just smelling her enticing scent gives me shivers.
I stood in the middle of my room picking up Yves' call.
The towel is around my waist and the water is still dripping on my body.
'Hey...' He greeted.
'What?' I asked.
'Well, guess what? I talked to Zoë yesterday in the grocery store and she's from the Blue Moon pack.'
'She isn't a human and I know that. Maybe she's a hybrid or something.' I mumbled.
'Yes...'
'Guess what too? She lives next door.' I grinned like a fool.
'Oh damn! Lucky you!' A grin curves on my lips. 'Anyway, since she's in calculus class did this mean that you are not going to escape it anymore?' I shrugged.
'I guess...' I turned around and saw her closing the curtains. I stare at her window wanting to see her.
'Great! Have fun in calculus...' and he ended the call. I closed the curtains and walked to my closet.
I walk downstairs and eat breakfast.
My sister Natasha is busy with her books, reading about medics. She's a medical student at the University in our town. She wanted to be a doctor to help the other doctors in research about the Werewolf's bane. She's already 21, beautiful and unmated.
'Baby Bro... I heard that you found your mate.' She grinned at me. I ignored her and poured orange juice on my glass. 'So, what does she look like?' she asked leaning on the table.
'A person.' I said coldly.
'C'mon you gotta say something.' She irritated me. 'She didn't reject you... did she?'
'If you got rejected by your mate the Princess will suffer again.' Mother speaks.
She is talking about the Royal Princess of werewolves who will save us from danger. The King and Queen were killed in the rogue attack and gladly, she was safe but nowhere to be found. They said that she's mate-less and the Black Witch cursed her to be.
I faced them and they stared at me. I sighed. 'She didn't reject me yet. She didn't recognize me as her mate though she's immortal who looks like a mortal.' They stopped on what I said.
'It's impossible that your mate didn't recognize you.' Mom said gasping. I just looked sad but I clenched my jaw and walked out of the kitchen and went to the garage. I clicked the remote of my sports car and the door opened up. I opened the gate and hopped in my car. I stopped my car in front of the house when I saw the guys from Blue Moon with Zoë hugging the new tough guy. They rode on their bikes.
'Careful okay?' the guy told them who lived next door.
I drove my car a bit fast, on the way to the school. When I got out of the car, I parked it. I saw her who just arrived. I smell the air and her enticing smell enters my nostrils. She removed her helmet and her every move is slow motion. Her smiles are so beautiful that I could kiss those lips.
Every time I saw her it felt like the first time I met her as my mate. It gives me shivers, tingling sensation, and currents all over my body.
'Nathan!'
I didn't look away from her though someone was calling me. I felt jealous when those boys put their arms around her. She is laughing when Sam makes his corny joke.
'So, are you going to stare?' Yves asked.
'I need a plan. Get the Blue Moon out of my way.'
'Why? Just walk to her and tell her 'hi how's it going? Do you want to get out of here and make fun?' like that.' he told me like an expert. I smack the back of his head.
'Don't you know how to think?'
'I do know... that's why I came up with that idea. Don't be pussy, Nate! You are the Alpha yet you look overwhelmed through your mate.' I glared at him, and he sighed.
I told Terence to buy me three red roses. And before I went to the calculus class. I open her locker and put the roses there with a letter. Everyone is already in their classes so nobody can see me putting it on her locker. I rushed to the room and Mr Clifford stopped from discussing.
'Mr. Gregg, what a surprise... again.' He told me. I rolled my eyes and walked to my chair at the back of Zoë. Yves saved it for me thanks to him. 'Please avoid being late.'
'Sure.' I told him. I glanced at her as I passed on her. She's busy doing doodles in her notebook. I sat on my chair as everyone stared at me. I looked at Gab who was eyeing me. I raised my brow, and he was still confused.
As the lesson continued, I inhaled her scent, and I wanted to run my fingers on her hair. I wanted to feel her silky hair. I didn't take off my eyes on her, though her back is all I can see.
'You need to cut staring at her because Mr Clifford is eyeing you.' Yves told me through the mind link.
'I don't give a shit on him. I just wanted to be near to my mate.'
Zoë passed a piece of paper to Gab, who is an aisle away from him. Gab read it and wrote on it. When Mr Clifford is facing the board, Gab automatically gives it back to Zoë. She sighed and put her eyeglasses.
The bell buzzes for the next subject, and she automatically picks her notebook, sliding it to her bag. I stood and ready to talk to her but Gab helped her in her bag and they walked out of the room. Yves eyed me and he laughs.
Dork and stupid!
