Chapter 32
“I really don’t mind her staying here” I heard Keith say
“yeah I know but she’d like to wake up in her room” Jacob answered. So Jacob was carrying me back to
my room, I swear he knew me too well. When I’m upset I’d just lie awake and alone in the morning to calm. down and think about things.
I heard a door open and close and pretty soon I was in my bed.
“Tay…” I said opening my eyes and adjusting to the darkness.
“I’m here” Tay answered “you’re in you room now”
“thanks Tay” I yawned and he chuckled
“don’t thank me yet, the twins wanted to sleep with you here but I told them not to. They wouldn’t listen so….just expect them tomorrow morning before school” he said before his smile faded “you okay?”
I shook my head, closing my eyes “I don’t wanna talk about it”
Jacob sighed and ran a hand through my hair before covering me with the sheets and placing a kiss on my
forehead
“Go to sleep. Things will work out tomorrow.” He started for the door
“Jacob” I said making him turn around and look at me “Love you”
Jacob smiled “Love you too L. Now get some sleep”
I nodded and drifted back to sleep.
i woke up in the morning to the sound of knocking on my door. “Whoever it is better have a good reason
for waking me up”
“We come in peace” I heard a familiar voice say. i lifted my head to see the twins with their hands behind
their backs.
“What are you holding?” I asked suspiciously.
Dave took out a box of cookies and spoons from behind him and Jim took out some ice cream “We come bearing treats”
I laughed and looked at the clock “Seriously? Icecream and cookies at 7 AM you know we have school”
“Ah you know you can’t resist this snack even in the morning” Dave said as they sat with me on the bed. I chuckled knowing they were right and opened the cookies, crumbling them over the ice cream. I started
eating with the twins
“So” Dave said awkwardly “how are—”
“Are you okay from last night?” Jim interrupted Dave who in turn glared at him. I couldn’t help but smile.
1/3
“I guess I’m…I don’t know. It still hasn’t registered yet, still shocked.” I shook my head “Let’s not talk about this now and out I want to get ready”
“but there’s still time your usually the the last there.” Dave said
I shrugged “I’m awake now so might as well” I lied. The reason I wanted to go early was to avoid Xavier. I didn’t want to talk to him, not yet at least.
In a matter of minutes I was on my bike and heading to school. My mind kept racing the entire time, just thinking about what he said. Was I really that…No! I wouldn’t think like that. Sure I was pretty broken when I went to his pack but what did he expect? I just got rejected by my mate and ran away from my pack and family of course I’d be…depressed.
I shook my head, deciding not to think about it. I reached school and very few cars were there. I went to my locker and got my books and was the first to class.
I did the same thing for the rest of the classes; just avoiding Xavier. Cowardly, I know. But I couldn’t handle my best friend leaving me, I couldn’t handle him snapping at me like yesterday.
Even at lunch I retreated to the library with Melissa and we just sat there talking and solving homework.
“I wouldn’t have pegged you two as the kind to hide out in libraries” I heard a voice say. I turned to see a
familiar girl, she was in some of my classes, eyeing me and Melissa.
“Everyone needs to hide every once in a while” I shrugged and eyed the girl. “besides what are you doing
here?”
She was short with blond hair and green eyes and she was wearing a skirt and fitted blue shirt.
“I work here” she said ad shrugged “better than spending lunch alone.”
“I know what you mean” Melissa said “I’m Melissa
“Ren” the girl answered “And your Lily” she told me
“How did you know?” I asked and she chuckled
“How could I not know you. Your the beta’s sister who ran away, leaving the pack and now is back as a kick
ass fighter”
I blushed looking down “Anyway” I changed the subject “You can always sit lunch with us”
Ren smiled and nodded and we spent a while talking about really everything. It was fun and the girls were funny. It wasn’t until we started talking about mates did things get…interesting
“I can’t wait to find my mate, honestly. Call me a hopeless romantic but I would love to have that person who loves you so much and cares for you” Ren said sighing dreamily
I almost laughed. Sure that was how I saw mates too, till I got mine and he rejected me
“Have you found a mate Melissa?” Ren asked and I noticed Melissa look at the ground, a few tears
escaping her eyes.
“hey melissa what’s wrong?” I asked
“My mate” she said “he’s gone”
My heart clenched and I almost screamed. She didn’t deserve this. It was torture for people to lose their mates. Most of hem go crazy and commit suicide, others just stay with unmated wolves
“Oh honey I’m so sorry” I said hugging her
“I’d do anything to have him back” she said and I closed my eyes at the pain in her voice. She cleared her throat and put on a fake smile
“So that means you and Ren still haven’t found your mates” she stated and I winced. Should I tell them?
they seemed reliable enough
