Her Human Mate (A She-wolf story)

Chapter 3

A Boy was sitting next to me whose face was stuck to the brunette's. a wave of anger passed through me and I simply got up and left.

I was frustrated. Jason was surely not my mate and still he was able to make my legs turn into jelly and brain into a dizzy spell. Maybe I was just thinking too much about this whole "mate" thing. If I just concentrate more on something else I will be able to get back to normal. Whatever that normal is. 

Maybe I was turning crazy. I mean look at me. No normal person talks so much to themselves.

"Hey Scarlet, wait up" It was Jason again. Why was he following me?

"What do you want Jason" I snapped.

"Hey no need to be bitchy. I just came to give you your precious tuna sandwich, which you forgot. I am just trying to be a friend here"

"Right, Thanks" I conceded.

"Sorry about Tristan though. He's such a dick sometime"

"About who?"

"Tristan" he repeated " My step brother. Who sat our table a while ago"

"Ohh" was all I managed.

"You see, both of us just love making each other miserable. Tristan succeeds most of the times. He's kind of a golden boy. Girls surrender themselves at his feet. he can charm any woman he wants. He's the perfect guy in the eyes women. Even my last girlfriend" he sighed.

For the very first time I felt bad for a guy. His pale blue eyes turned a shade lighter. Jason was really a good looking guy. when he spoke his lips came out like he was pouting, making him look cuter. He had olive complexion and he was well built. His eyes were so expressive. like they could talk a whole new language. I couldn't help but feel bad at least because of those eyes. But I didn't know what to do. I mean I have never had anyone sharing their problems with me. Let alone a guy. so I did one thing I knew would help.

I hugged him. Yes you good people of earth, I hugged him. he stiffened at first and then gave in to my hug.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Jason is now officially the first guy I ever hugged.

"Its not that bad" He said dropping his hands, "But if it makes you give me more hugs then I can tell more of these stories"

He laughed a hearty laugh. I couldn't resist a smile.

"So tell me about yourself" I found myself asking.

"What do you wanna know?" Jason countered.

"Whatever you want to tell"

"Well, I am Jason Hart, turning 18 next month. I recently moved here from London because of my father's business. Today is my first day in this school and you are the first friend I made here. I love rock and hip hop. I like skating. I like hiking as well. I want to go hiking in Alps one day. Now your turn"

"What do you wanna know?" I mimicked and he simple rose his eyebrow.

"Okay. Here it goes. I am Scarlet Hudson. I am already 18. I like pop and Jazz. I like running. I can run really fast. I absolutely hate swimming. I am actually scared of water. I like watching TV. Its my favorite pastime. I like "Big bang theory" and "Sherlock" series the most. What shows do you watch?"

we were so engrossed in our conversation that I didn't even realize that we have been walking towards the classroom. Jason was a nice guy when you get to know him. He was very charming. He was funny too. I knew we would be great friends. People were staring at me like I had gone crazy. I ignored them and preceded. I don't think Jason noticed people staring at us. Even if he did, he too, ignored them just like me. We had the next class together which was Art so I was guiding him the way. It felt good to have someone to talk to and walk with to the class.

"Scarlet, I don't want to sound too direct, but do you wanna hang out with me after school?"

Holy fucking shit! did Jason just ask me out or hang out like friends? How do I know? Think Scarlet think. what do I say?

Jason seems to be a nice guy but I cant let him come close. He could unravel my secret. What were you thinking Scarlet? socializing with human? you don't even have much experience with them.

"Hey Scarlet, you look pale. you alright?" Aaron was next to me in no time. He must have felt my discomfort.

I was so grateful for his timely intervention but that's when I noticed Aaron sending daggers Jason's way. If looks could kill Jason would be buried 5 feet underneath. Aaron was a soon to be alpha. His strength could be felt by humans too. They would quiver under his authority if he wanted and that's what he was doing to Jason. I didn't like that one bit. Jason was my first friend in a long time and Aaron had a history of scaring off people who were remotely interested in me. He did it as he was one of the bullies who ridiculed me for the colour of my fur. Well guess what? I wasn't going to let that happen again.

I was about to defend Jason when I noticed that Jason seemed unaffected by Aaron. In fact he was smiling at Aaron and scrutinizing him at the same time.

Both were staring down each other till the first bell ring. What was that all about?

Somehow I dragged Jason to the next class.

Turning around the corner, the unmistakable musky scent filled my nostrils. I inhaled a chestful, not getting enough. I followed the scent with my eyes close and when I opened my eyes my blood boiled at the scene in front of me.
