Always My Luna

7

    We decide to leave Scarlet's Jeep at my place and take my car to school, after getting read all the rules of the road and the rules of having this car, so many "Yes, uncle, I know uncle, I love you uncle" finally ended the tortuous lecture, loving lecture, but still, a lecture that we rolled our eyes to many times.  I know he saw but he just smiled and kept on going.  I was the luckiest she-wolf around, I swear.  People who loved me, even though I lost my parents, I never knew a day of being unloved or unwanted, the greatest friends a girl could ask for, the world's bestest best friend in Scarlet, she even let me talk about Stacey when I felt like going down memory lane and sharing some stories of her and my parents, ones that I could remember.  My pack liked me, most everyone at school liked me, minus a few that we already know about, but they really don't count now do they?
    We pull up to the school way too soon for my liking.  Not just because I wanted to still drive my sweet birthday present, but because I had this knot in my gut telling me something was going to happen this morning.  Of course,it could just be excitement at maybe meeting my mate and of course, meeting my wolf.  They say the first transition is easier with your mate with you as your wolves can sense each other and take some of the pain away, so that's another reason why I want to find my mate tonight, less painful to shift, breaking of bones, restructuring, skin shredding, fur and claws coming out of skin.  Sounds so painful, yet so many werewolves can shift in the middle of a pounce and not even blink, I want to be like that.  Get over the pain, yes, I am a big old chicken when it comes to pain.
    Of course, I get lots of attention due to my car and it being my birthday, so many people are wishing me a happy birthday as I walk with Scarlet into the school.  Jason comes up behind me and picks me up spinning me around while I squeal in surprise and happiness.  He puts me down and I turn around to see Jason, Dom and Ryan, with his arm around Scarlet, all smiling at me.  "Happy Birthday Levi!"  I laugh and thank them.
    I then hear a voice that would be the same as nails on a chalk board "Oh look who decided to play adult.  Guess she thinks she deserves all the attention today."  Tamara Jans, from, neighbouring Ironside Pack is standing there with a smirk on her face looking me up  and down with a look of disgust.
    "You lost, Tamara?" Ryan growls at her.
    She arrogantly laughs and flicks her hair behind her left shoulder, "I decided to take the day off to spend with my mate," she looks straight at me. Why would she look at me?  Not like I could give a shi-. 
    The smell hits me before I can register what's happening.  Mint with a musky, woods fragrance.  Heaven, absolutely heaven.  I suddenly hear a voice in my head "MATE!"  I look over to the left of me and I see none other than Damon walking up to our group.  His eyes are locked onto mine and I can feel mine getting wider.  Again, the voice in my head is yelling "MATE! MATE!"  I shake my head and think no, no this can't be happening.  He can't be my mate.  No,Goddess no. 
    Gasps around me bring me back to reality to the fact that I must have said it out loud as everyone is looking at me wide eyed.  I look over to Damon and see him smirk as he puts his arm around Tamara's waist and pulls her to him and proceeds to crash his lips to hers while keeping his eyes on me.  I shake my head and turn and run out the school doors as fast as I can.
    I can hear Scarlet yelling for me and I know there are others running behind me but I dont care, I keep running to my car.  I unlock the doors as I'm running and jump in.  By the time I have the car started, Scarlet is already in the passenger side and buckeling up.
    "Let's go huni, let's get out of here.  Wherever you want to go." 
    I tear out of the school parking lot and take off down the street not knowing where Im going but i have to pull over after a couple blocks because tears are falling from my eyes so quickly that I can't see.  I pull over and start sobbing.  I feel arms around me and a soothing voice telling me it's going to be ok and how much of a dickless asshole Damon is and how he's going to regret it when he realizes how he let me get away.
    "Why Scar?  Why?  Why does he hate me so much?  What have I ever done to him?  I just don't get it."  I look at her, my mascara running down my cheeks, I know I look hideous, but my heart just doesn't care.
    "Because he's an idiot.  Huni, he doesn't hate you, trust me.  He's always looking at you, always watching you.  There's something going on that's more than what we know.
