Alpha Aiden And His Human Mate

Chapter 7

Melanie POV 

It's Monday again and I dread going to that school.

First and worse, I have to end things with Jake. Breaking his heart is the last thing I want to do and I'm terrified of doing it in all honesty.

Second, I have to face my friends and third, I'm still freaked out by the findings of the weekend.

My phone has been ringing relentlessly all weekend and I had to switch it off for some serenity. It's just me and my nanny in the house now. Who may I add, is a werewolf too.

Sadly, I can't stay mad at her because she's been more than a mother to me. The guards who I learned were designated by my dad, I haven't caught a glimpse of them so far. 

And I'm okay with that. Relieved, at least I can breathe in my expanse without having grumpy men following me around. After taking a shower and applying lotion, I head to my closet where seven of my clean, faultlessly ironed school uniforms are neatly arranged.

That's why I love that woman. I can't imagine life without her. Maybe I'm too dependent on her but I don't care.

All of my belongings were moved here yesterday. New beginnings I guess. I'm not in the mood for breakfast or anything, so I just drive myself to school.

 As usual, Lily is already waiting for me at the gate, and for the first time, I don't know what to say to her."Hi," she mumbles kissing me on the cheek and I internally cringe. Damn.

"Hey," I timidly acknowledge her. This is so weird, do they have more of their kind in this school?

"Look, Mel, I'm sorry about what we did" She begins with the apologies again and I groan in frustration. It won't change a thing. The damage is already done.

"Don't please, I have heard enough of those. Just give me time okay" I calmly inform her, trying to create some space between us. I hate this. I understand their reasons but it still hurts they lied to me, and I had to find out in a more traumatizing way.

"Okay, thanks" She smiles slightly, but sadness is clear in her eyes. God please, I'm not a bad person.

"Where is Liam?" I enquire because they are always together but today he isn't.

"He had pack work to do and couldn't make it," she tells me in a whisper and I nod. I guess there's no need to keep stuff from me anymore. 

I already know their dirty secrets anyway. I used to wonder how cute they were, yet mysterious. But now that I think about it, most of their kind are outstanding. Don't even mention Aiden. 

That man is blazing, and I still don't believe he is mine.

"So, do you have one too? I mean a mate" She looks at me for a second and hesitantly nods.

"Yeah," she says evading my gaze. Wow! I didn't even know she had a boyfriend. I just marvel at how stupid they might have thought I was. I'm so oblivious to everything around me, that I can't even tell when someone is lying to me.

They knew everything about me, every single fragment of my life, yet I know nothing about them, I'm so pathetic.

Always the loud one. Is Aiden going to be like them? Because it'll be so dreadful breaking up with Jake, the only person I suppose loves me, for a mate I know nothing about. Only for him to lie to me.

Speaking of Jake, I need to talk to him. Not because of Aiden, but because it's what I'm supposed to do. He deserves better and he won't get that from me. 

"I will see you later, I need to find Jake" I excuse myself not waiting for her reply. I know it's rude but I'm just not in the mood. I immediately spot Jake by the lockers with his two friends, how am I gonna do this? I slowly walk to them and he grins widely when he sees me.
