"Take me along with you and maybe I won't tell the Principal what I just saw". Daniel said, a smirk playing on his lips when he saw a tinge of fear flash in her eyes at the mention of the principal.
She suddenly glared at him, her brown eyes, glacy like ice.
"How do you know the principal of this school? Are you even a student here??".
"Will be by next week". He noticed her frown deepen. "That doesn't matter. I'm bored and I'm kind of interested in heading to whatever place you're sneaking off to".
"For someone who has probably never seen the 'Other side'". She stuck out her lip in a teasing smile which infuriated him, "I wouldn't want you to get lost and make your mummy worry about you".
His phone began to ring before he could retort.
Aunt Marcy was calling.
He placed his phone In his pocket only to look up and notice the girl had disappeared.
"Son of a ….".
His sharp eyesight grants him the privilege of sighting her from afar, heading across the road, downtown.
Without a thought, his legs moved across the road, not minding the several car horns and hurled insults from both sides.
The wind got in his hair and his heart thumped with excitement as he ran. It felt like he was exhaling something off his chest which had been laying like a heavy weight.
He followed the blonde from afar till she stopped Infront of a coffee shop after 20 minutes or running. He fell in place beside her.
"You sneak out of school just to drink coffee?". He asked and she snapped her head towards him, her hair bouncing along with her head movements.
"You followed me?". It was more of a statement but a question as well. She sounded breathless; from the run maybe and the sweat running down the sides of her face got her looking attractive than she already is.
Her chest heaved up and down as she slowly glared at him, narrowing her eyes.
"I'm beginning to have my suspicion on you. Why are you interested in me all of a sudden. Don't you have a water bottle to finish or some bedtime story session to get to? It's almost 6pm".
"I'm not interested in you. I'm just bored, that's all. And can you quit with the teasing, I'm obviously older that you".
She sighed and just narrowed her eyes at him. This time not suspiciously but to confirm one more thing.
"You sure you're not just some snitchy pervert who'd get me in trouble later in at school".
"What am I, 5? I don't care what happens after this, I just want to get out of shopping today".
"Whatever. Just wait out here, I'll be out in a moment". With that, she got in, not letting him say another word.
Brows raised, he wondered where she was headed to?
The girl looked cool and had this rebel attitude that he just liked. Right from when he saw her climbing down those ropes, he knew she'd be one of those detention attendants who did whatever they wanted and didn't care about anyone's opinions.
He just hoped he didn't waste his time following her here. He wasn't even sure where he was exactly. He hid in the shadows hoping no one from the pack would recognize him as the Alpha's son, not knowing he had long left the pack and was in the OTHER SIDE.
Marcy sighed heavily when the call went through and he didn't pick up again.
"Aunt please calm down. He's not a kid. He probably strolled away on his own". Naomi tried to assure her.
The driver was busy, helping Naomi put in the food items in the car while the two women stood just at the entrance of the school premises, pacing about as Marcy called Daniel for the nth time.
"I swear if I find him, I'd…". Marcy suddenly broke down.
Naomi held her in an embrace.
"Aunt, Daniel's okay. Trust me on this, okay? We can try going around the town to look for him but eventually we have to go home and receive the guests".
"He knows how much his naming ceremony means to me and everyone in the pack house. I just turned my back on him to make a phone call. How could he have possibly disappeared".
Naomi could only bite her lip in deep thought. Where could he have possibly gone to.
"Aunt, you can try checking around the school premises again".
"We've gone around the school so many times. It's like he just vanished. Oh Naomi. What if something's happened to him…". She began to panic.
Naomi racked her brain for a plan.
"Okay…I'd take a taxi and go into town to look for him while you drive down home to receive the visitors. I'd inform you if I've found him, okay, aunt?".
Aunt Marcy thought about the idea before she finally gave in.
She hugged Naomi. It was late at night and dangerous for a young woman her age to be out so late but it was more dangerous for her as someone from a Beta's bloodline who was prey for the rogues.
"Be careful dear, please. And don't stay up all night. If you can't find him, please come home as soon as possible". She fondly held her cheek like she was holding her daughter's.
Noami held the hand holding her cheek as well.
"Of course aunt".
Daniel paced about for a while, already feeling bored when the bell rang on the coffee shop door, opening.
He looked up, stunned immediately as she appeared before him.
If it weren't for the familiar bouncy blonde hair and icy brown eyesz he wouldn't have recognized her.
She was wearing a hoodie and matching pants earlier with sneakers but the blonde before him had totally transformed to some goddess.
Her lips was painted bright red, the color so attractive, he was drawn to her lips as he took her appearance in.
She was putting on 5-inch stiletto heels which gained her some inches up his shoulders.
Her leather made bustier was shiny black to match the same leather mini skirt. It was so shirt her bum could be exposed at the slightest bow.
Her make up was light, only to lighten her sharp features. The only jewelry she had on was a few bangles and that was it.
She was a combination of goth and ecstacy.
"Beautiful…". He muttered under his breath, his eyes never leaving her body.
She was feeling a bit insecure about her outfit and was about going in to rechange, but on hearing that one word escape from his lips, she froze.
A smile finally made its way to her lips. With confidence, she sauntered over to him, bodly locking eyes with him.
Two fingers crawled up his arm to his chest in a seductive slow style causing his breath to hitch up at his throat.
"Just beautiful?".
"I'm seeing beautiful. I'd like to see what more you can do than just stand there looking pretty". He countered, smirking seductively at her.
Her heart thumped with something like desire at the sexy smirk plastered on his face like a erotic tattoo to turn her on.
"Follow me then".
