Chapter Seven

The bell rings and I head off to my locker to organize things that I wasn't able to yesterday. Oh no, how am I supposed to explain why I ditched? I start to get panicky when sparks fly up my arm; I spin around to see Jake.

     "Why are you so restless?" He demands for an answer.

     I pull off my jacket, stuff it in my locker and shut it. I lean my back up against the thin door. His eyes wander down to look at my chest. Gross. After I run a hand through my hair and tap my chin I ask, "Why should I tell you?"

     "Because I'm your mate!" He sneers, his eyes go black because of anger.

     More like an ass! I sneer back at him through a mind link. Man, sending a mind link has gotten easier. Only weres have them, but for some reason I do to and since before now it has been hard sending them. . .

     Quickly I shuffle off to first period. That jerk is hot on my tail walking in long strides. "You don't get the final word in a conversation, mind link or not!" He says and I roll my eyes.

     Stopping I turn around and poke my slim finger in the middle of his chest, "Watch me, pretty boy!"

    Continuing to keep walking he keeps rambling, "I order you not to call me that ever again!" That fool thinks that his Alpha tone works on me still.

     I keep walking and shout, "Pretty boy!"

     "Stop."

     "Pretty boy!"

     "Stop!"

     "P-r-e-t-t-y boyyyy"

     There is an eerie crack in the air, he is cracking his neck for a fight. So I sprint and then see everyone in the hallway block my path. Damn loyal wolves! I slide with my foot in front of me on the floor getting everyone out of my way, I stumble and get back on my feet and turn just in time to see a pissed off sexy looking Alpha come out of a crowd with eyes that say, "You're dead"

     Putting my hands on my waist, I lean forward again showing my cleavage and said slowly, threateningly and tauntingly, "Pretty. Boy."

     He snaps, but me being me I smile like a dork and give him a rock 'n roll hand sign and start the chase by dashing off around the corner. I run like a jack rabbit from a real wolf. Wow, surprised he isn't in wolf form yet, he has some patience. Let's break it . . .

     "Stop Gen!" He roars.

     "Fuck you," I sneer then throw my head back laughing. "You are such a jerk," I look forward to see why he told me to stop, a dead end. Trying to make a sharp U-turn, I fall. He jumps on top of me and I'm pinned to the ground squeezing my wrist making me cringe slightly. An idea pops into my head, "Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me!" I whimper looking to the other side eyes closed. My acting classes pay off. . .

     He strokes my hair, "Honey, I don't want to, but you have to listen to my rules. And stop disrespecting me in front of my pack." He starts trailing kisses down my neck and nuzzles it with his teeth, the sparks explode from his touch and I moan. When I feel his teeth about to break the surface of my neck it hits me . . . the dick is trying to mark me! After I knee the guy in the nuts so hard they will probably be blue, I shove him off of me.

     I stand up, throw my head over my shoulder and spit with so much venom coating my words it makes the air feel heavy, “Never will your mark be on my neck. Ever."

While I sit in class watching the minutes tick by the lunch bell rings. I didn't see Jake in first. . . hopefully he's in the hospital getting his freaking balls removed from the damage I caused him. That put a smile on my face, but that vanishes because I have no clue where the cafeteria is, who to sit with and if I am going to see Jake, hopefully ball-less.

     I follow the flow of students to the cafeteria since I don't know where it is and I get in line to get my lunch. My eye catches lunch, mutant looking ravioli. I make a gaging noise and grab a sub from the line. When it's my turn to pay I start to bring out a five.

     "Here Sally I'll be paying for hers," Jake hands her a five.

     "No Jake this is my lunch use your five to pay for yours," I say not blowing up, but with a little warning in my voice.

     "Gen, I pay for everything you need or want,” he states in a firm tone, looks me dead on. Huh, no Alpha tone in his voice maybe the bastard has a brain and can actually listen. But this bastard is going off listing rules I won't follow again. . .

     "Pardon you prick, I'm independent so fuck off," I take his five dollars and shove it down his shirt.

     After I hand 'Sally' my five bucks and I walk out of there, but the damn bozo grabs my arm, hard. "Can't. Have. Last. Word," He orders while flaring his nostrils, this is his wolf and hey, why not make his wolf pissed too?

     Getting out of his grip, I pat his face and say, "Watermelon." I ran out of that cafeteria like he was a ticking time bomb, I make my way to the courtyard and sit under a tree.

     I'm eating my lunch when his rhythmic voice comes into my head, You can't-

     Spaghetti, I will say anything no matter how dumb to get the last word.

     Wait wha-

     Penny loafers

     Stop Gen! I must have the last word in every conversation. Why won't you listen to any of my rules?!

     I sit my sandwich down and stomp my way back to the cafeteria the whole time I send, Write your will, write your w-  I barge into the cafeteria and everyone shrinks back, oh boy is there going to be hell to pay. "Anymore stupid fucking rules?!" I shout at him loud enough to wake the dead.

     "You can't have a job, I have final word, you have to do what I say, I buy all your things and above all you can't date, touch or look at any other guy but me," He says with finality, his muscles almost bulging out of his shirt with dominance. His eyes stare back at me; I want to gouge them out of his head with a rusty spoon.

     Wait. Can't date or touch or look at any other guy, huh? An evil idea pops into my had and a smile crosses my lips. "Oh okay Jakie." I grab his Beta by his shirt and before anyone even knows what's going on, I plant a big one on his lips.

     I wrap my arms around his neck and play with his hair. I make it last for about 10 or so seconds and I pull back when the coming-out-of-shock Beta starts to kiss me back and his arms snake around to my hips. A ear drum bleeding growl erupts from Jake's chest and I swear I saw a flash of fangs. I give his Beta the call me sign and I walk away, just like that.
