Chapter 5: Chapter 5

It was almost forever staring in those green eyes, which now I know are my mate’s eyes. There was no emotion shown on his face for me to understand what he's thinking despite our wolves gliding over each other.

The green eye mate just stood there like this bond thing doesn't affect him at all. We were two destined people, yet we seem to be far away from one another.

"Are you okay?" someone snaps his fingers in front of me. My gaze moves to the intruder waking me from my state and just like that my body is freezing to death.

My wolf keeps yelping around in my head calling her mate while I, on the other hand, whimper the word cold repeatedly.

"Thank you for looking after my friends." I keep rubbing my hands together for warmth. "Also thank you for calling me about them, but don't dream we owe you anything. So see yah," with that being said I ran back to the car without a look back.

I start up the engine, trying to warm my hands, and disappear from there. I drop off Gia at her home, sneaking her at the back door where her brother Evan was waiting for her. Then went back home with Cora in the back seat, hoping my parents haven't returned yet.

Our house was still dark except for the light on the front porch which I left on and the one in the kitchen. My parents haven’t arrived, so I help Cora out and into the house, dumping her on the bed in the guest room.

"Seriously, Cora, you're so heavy," I mutter under my breath while trying to catch my breath. "We'll tell that to her when she wakes up." Alera retorted. Slumping back on my bed my thoughts went back to him.

I know running away wasn't a good idea but it was better than to let others know, as I'm pretty sure none of us knows what to do with another one.

Morning comes, none of my parents were in sight. They haven't returned except for Cora who is sipping her coffee across from me and was already in uniform, well both of us are.

"Morning." she smiles widely. I know what she was thinking and I have no doubt that's the smile of someone guilty of last night.

"Morning, I guess bus it is for us today," I reply.

"So," the grin never left her face

"So..."

I mentally pretend to be dumb of what she intended to know.

"Who brought me home?"

"Gosh, I think you should call back Jem. Poor guy... you scream at him that you slept with someone last night." I lie while waiting for her reaction.

"Jem," fumbling for her phone, she started to tear up. Okay, that reaction wasn't the one I expected.

'Uh oh, wrong move.' Alera slaps her forehead. I fakely burst out laughing try not to make her cry even more.

She looks up at me, "nothing happens, I just brought you home." Quickly her tears were wiped. I held my bag close and made a dash for the door, and run out of the house.

Looking back over my shoulder, she struggled to lock the house and run after me.

"I hate you!" she screams.

"Oh, honey, that's not what you said last night," we were almost to the bus stop and both of us were exhausted.

All her anger disseminates, "don't you dare do that again," she tries to breathe.

"Then don't get your ass drunk on a school night," I said between my laughter. She huffs like a child facing on the other side.

A Ford stops beside us, "you ladies need a ride to school?" It's the ones from last night.

"I'm Jay," he took off his glasses, "soon to be Beta."

"What a narcissistic." Alera threw daggers at him in my head.

"And I'm nobody," I said out loud straightening up my back. His friend at the passenger did the wolf cry.

The back window rolls down, his scent invades my nostrils again. I grab Cora who was still trying to catch her breath beside me and made her my shield while I try to hide at the back.

"What the hell, Adassah?" she looks at Jay then her face suddenly fills with disgust. Only if she knew it wasn't Jay. I'm trying to hide from him even though he has already seen me.

"Eww, who are you?" Cora pretends to be one of those blonds. "Ouch," the one on the passenger seat fake hurt.

I bit my lower lip averting my eyes in his way and found him again never leaving my poor face. I look over and saw the same female from last night.

"So what do you say, ride with us?" Jay flirted and I swear Alera keeps pretending to vomit in my head.

The bus stops at the stop and immediately, I held Cora's hand taking a step forward.

"And what? Sit on your heads, no thank you, asshole." I ran towards the bus dragging her along with me.

The bus moves to go, we hurriedly sat down on an empty chair inside the bus. My hand went to rest on my chest, trying to calm myself. Looking aside I saw their car slide beside the bus, and their windows were down. I try to avoid their stares, especially the one in the back seat.

Cora's eyebrow squint, "why are they staring at you? Did you..."

"Nope." I turn to the front while I could feel my left side burning. "I didn't and I have no idea why they're looking."

"Aww, I think our mate wants us." Alera couldn't calm themself from her excitement.

"Oh boy, we're doomed," I thought to myself blocking her off. "I mean does his stare means something. I don’t think so."
