-----Six months later-----

I'm currently sparring with my friends, taking all five of them on at once as I've made quick progress, my strength increasing at a freakishly fast pace. I've grown stronger then I thought was possible, especially for me.

I've almost got them all to tap out for the seventh time this morning when the speakers let off a deafening screech followed soon by the all too familiar voice of our principal, Mr. Fowyer.

"Good afternoon students. Can Jamilah Blackerst please report to the Principals office now, that's Jamilah Blackerst, thank you" silence.

I release a sigh as I let Travis out of the headlock I was holding him in. We all stand up dripping with sweat and before heading inside the cool, air conned building, I walk up to Daisy and give her a tight hug. Murmuring into her hair "you've improved so much, I'm so proud of you".

As I release her she says "thank you" while smiling widely at me, her angelic eyes shining happily. 

----------

It has been a few weeks since Trevor and I told Travis about our "mate" situation and things have been good, really good. I've gotten more comfortable around their friends, especially Daisy, the little cutie. Though, she can be quite scary when training. 

Their friends have joined us on the field during our private sessions and we have all been making loads of improvement together, quickly making our way up to the top of our whole school. I enjoy their company a lot and they ease my stress. I missed this. Having friends that is, being friend deprived for many years does that to a person.

Trev and I have talked and we came to the joint decision to tell our friends about us being mates and that is exactly what we are doing while sitting in our dorm room.

"No fucking way..." the twins and I chuckle at Viola's response as it was the same as Travis's.

"Yes fucking way" Trevor responds, amusement dancing in his eyes.

I told them about how I also had a mate before coming here, this made them freak out a little as this obviously meant Trevor and I were second chance mates.

"this is crazy!" Daisy exclaims with a large, toothy smile, joy eminent in her features as she stands up to give me a quick hug. "I'm so happy for you two! That just leaves Travis and I to find our mates".

"Yeah, congrats dude" Mikey cuts in, giving Trevor one of those bro hugs.

I'm grateful for the friends I have been gifted with. Just when I had begun to lose hope and thought I'd be stuck, unhappy and alone for my whole life, I was handed an amazing group of people who care about me. I would do anything for them. Give anything for them.

Cool air blasts into my face, instantly decreasing my bodies temperature as I enter the building. I let out a sigh in contempt as I walk up to the stairs that lead up to the principal's office on the top floor.

You'd think a rich school like this would have elevators installed by now, I still haven't been able to understand why that is. Something about "keeping the history alive", yeah I can really feel the history burning in my feet.

Finally, reaching the top floor I maneuver down the newly renovated hallways and without knocking I burst into the over sized office.

Mr. Fowyer lets out a heavy sigh as he slowly looks up at me. "Hey sir! How are you on this fine afternoon?" I ask as a saunter towards his desk acting as though I own the place, you could say my confidence has taken a drastic climb during these past months.

All he does is look up at me, I just smirk down at him and flop onto the large leather armchair sat in front of his desk.

"Jamilah," he starts, breaking eye contact "I believe you already know why I called you here". True.

"I do" I respond as I inspect my nails and throw my other arm over the side of the arm chair, acting bored. I stare at him nonchalantly waiting for my next 'mission', as we call them, to be given.

"There's an anonymous investor that's been asking...odd questions. I need you to look into it for me, find out who it is and their real intentions" he holds my stare "and do what you need to do".

After he hands me a slip of paper with some extra details I give him a stern nod as I go to exit the room, stopping in my tracks as I hear Mr. Fowyer calling out to me.

"Oh and Jamilah, one more thing, the rogue issue at that pack? It's gotten worse" with that I leave the room, a grin making an appearance on my face.

Walking back into my dorm I spot the boys hanging out in the main room, both scrolling through their phones. Trev was sat on the couch while Travis was at the table, plowing away at a packet of crisps.

"Everything all good?" I'm greeted with Trevor's concerned gaze.

"Yeah, just another mission checking out some anonymous investor, no biggy" my words seem to ease his tense shoulders as I watch them slacken.

Sending me a small smile "what about your old pack, any new information?", I did eventually tell the group about how I had rough history with my previous pack, I never got into detail though and I don't know if I'll ever find the courage to. I don't want them to look at me any differently.

"Just more rogues, nothing that the mighty Crescent-moon pack can't handle" I scoff. I know how much Trev wants me to open up to him, but some things should stay tucked away and I thank him mentally every time he doesn't pry.

I quickly move onto getting dinner on the way, making small talk with the twins before I retire to my bedroom for the night. Todays been a drag.

Hey!

Hope you guys like how the story is progressing, please let me know of any ideas or feedback you may have and I'll take them into consideration, especially how you think the story should end. I have an idea but I would like to hear others too.

This chapter was kind of simple and short, but I wanted to use it as a way to add a filler and to give more information on what's happened without it feeling forced. I don't want the story to jump too much and have you guys confused or think it's moving too fast, however I do want to get to the "main" parts soon.

Have a great day/night!
