My head was banging, there was no way I turned or adjusted myself under my arms that my head did not hurt and it only got worse with each turn I made. It didn't make it any better that my head was shaved off and my hair could not protect my eyes from the light that came in through the windows.
The sudden ruffling of papers in the other side of the room made me raise my head almost immediately, as if I was not expecting somebody to come in although it was a classroom for every student.
"Excuse me, can you be quiet with that? Please, I am trying to sleep. I need to get as much sleep as I can." I raised my head but I barely saw who stood a few feet from me but from the physique, I could tell it was a boy.
"Get yourself a room then. This is a classroom, not a bedroom, get a grip on yourself and stop this nonsense."
School was never quiet and home was never quiet, it was all the same. I had always wanted to be alone but could never have that dream come through. I wiped my face again, flashes of last night kept disturbing me and I could not put it away. The more I tried, the worse it got. I wondered how they always had new things to try out, why new experiments came up that they had to find answers to. I wondered how the doctors themselves were heartless even if the Alpha, Luna and every other ranked werewolf was.
It was a nightmare living and the more I wished for death, the farther it stayed from me.
I was a teenager who was to be living and loving yet I lived in constant fear every day.
My parents were nowhere to be found, I wondered how it felt on their own end after abandoning me and how they woke up each morning and lived with the consciousness that they left me to suffer. Tears dropped as I thought about it deeper and with the diversions in my mind, I ended up thinking about going to the pack again later today and what my fate was going to be the next day. It was going to be another Saturday, another morning of torment.
"Hey. Can I talk to you for a few minutes? Are you okay?" I raised my head at the voice directed at me.
"Yes?" I managed to speak, hiding the lump in my throat as much as I could.
I had not seen his face clearly because of the cap he wore. As soon as he noticed I was struggling to get a good look at him, he took the cap off and adjusted his hair, making his face much more obvious.
"Hi. I am Nathan. I noticed you haven't come out since our last class and I asked around but no one seems to know anything about you. Are you okay? You don't look okay? Can I help…."
I didn't know when a tear dropped again, I didn't try to stop it this time. "Stay away from me, you monster. Stay away!" I walked away from him.
I did not need any reminder that he was the son the pack doctor had punished me for, the Alpha's son who had only worsened his fathers forever torment on me.
All the while he spoke and all the words he said, I could not help but notice only his green eyes. He was the same person, the same one who had come up to me twice now in school acting like he cared and the same one who would cause me pain that same number of times. Despite being a snake, he wanted to act like he cared? Again?
I wiped my face again. "Everyone thinks I am a fool." I said to myself silently before walking away.
NATHAN
I watched as she walked away and as much as I wanted to run after her, I let her be. I could not help the strong attraction I felt towards her each time she was close, the very thing that had led me to come into the classroom in search of her in the first place.
Her eyes always held tears and her mouth never spoke so many words except they were towards me. With the amount of anger she felt towards me, I could not help but wonder if there was something about us she knew and I didn't know which made her act vile towards me.
I wanted her close, wanted to wrap my arms around her, wipe her tears and ask her what was wrong, all of which I should feel towards my mate but I was not sure. Adam was still giving me no confirmation and I could not move based on my human feelings alone, it would be hard to move away from it if I was wrong considering how hard it is to let go of Olly now after getting involved with her.
Yet, there was something peculiar about this one girl, something that drew me to her and I hoped, I truly hoped I could figure it out before it was too late while another part of me hoped I would run into her in the pack another day, it would make our conversation way easier.
"Can we go now?" I turned to face Finn who was now in the classroom, looking at me funny because I stood alone, thinking to myself.
"Yeah, sure." I followed him as he led me out of the classroom.
"What were you doing in the classroom all alone?" He asked.
"I was not there alone."
Finn stared at me before bursting into a long round of laughter. "I may not be good at a lot of things but my sight is impeccable and I know the moon goddess would not appear to you in the classroom of all places, possibly telling you explicitly where to find your mate."
"It's not funny."
"Yes, it is. Listen to yourself, Nathan. I do hope I am the only one you are telling all these too else your father would think you are crazy and probably send you to the pack doctors and you know how ruthless they can be, irrespective of who you are. Hopefully, they'd take pity on you anyway." He burst into another round of laughter.
"Ah ah ah, funny. I was not there alone before you came in, that was what I meant." He stopped laughing and faced me as we got closer to the car. "Understand now?"
"Who were you with?"
"The girl."
"What girl?" He had not heard my reply before he commented the dots together and stopped in his tracks, just before he opened the passenger door. He took to slow steps to where I was and stared at me before making his comment.
"I thought she was not going to come up again. What now?"
"She didn't look good. I just wanted to be sure she was fine." I replied.
"That is not your business, Nathan! Please and please, leave her as she is and focus on other things. If you are that bored, find a human in school as your play toy or something, do something, anything but not her, absolutely not."
"Okay, fine." I was honestly in no mood to argue with him.
