Two Moons

Chapter Fifteen

Jared

It's extremely late, but I can hear arguing coming from May's house. I can even see Lucas's black car. All the lights are on. I creep out of bed and pull on some jeans and a sweatshirt. Quietly, I go out of my house and walk to May's house.

"No. I will not!" May shrieks. I rap on the door loudly, and everything is silent. I hear some shuffling of feet and the door creaks open. Lucas raises his eyebrows at me.

"What are you doing here?" He asks.

"I heard arguing. I wanted to make sure May is okay," I reply.

"Yeah, well, she is. Bye," he starts to close the door when May calls out.

"Lucas, who was it?" Lucas clenches his fists as I smirk.

"Jared," he glares at me.

"Oh. Hi," May appears in the doorway and gives me a wide smile.

"I just heard arguing and I wanted to make sure you were okay," I say lowly, looking directly at May. She blushes, and grins.

"Thanks. I'm okay, sorta. You want to come in?" May offers.

"May," Lucas warns.

"It is my house, Lucas," she stares him down, and turns to me. "Come in! You must be freezing!" I step inside and follow May into her living room, brushing shoulders with Lucas. I see Max sitting down, with his head in his hands. Also, Alpha Cole.

"May, is this about Derek?" I ask, scared for May.

"Yes. Lucas wants me to move into his pack house so I'll "be safer" even though I know how to defend myself. I do not want to leave my house, let alone move in with Lucas!" May throws her hands up in exasperation.

"No," I growl. "I can protect her!"

"Pfft, yeah right. You're an ordinary Were, and I'm an Alpha. My pack specializes in war preparation," Lucas smirks at me.

"When May is in danger I'll risk my life for her," I step towards Lucas.

"As would I," Lucas replies.

"May is going to move in with Lucas." We all look at Max.

"What?" May looks at her brother.

"I've discussed this with Alpha Cole, and he agrees," Max says.

"May, I understand your distress, but Alpha Lucas will be able to provide much better security for you than our pack can. You are still part of Athena pack and you can only go to school once to twice a week with a bodyguard. You will also receive extensive training by Alpha Lucas. You will move in with Alpha Lucas tomorrow at approximately eight p.m. Have your things packed by seven thirty so he can pick you up." Alpha Cole concludes. May is silent.

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." May looks at us. "Everyone, please get out of my house." No one moves. "Everyone out!" She shrieks. We all leave as I hear May start to cry and shout at Max.

"I hate you! I hate you I hate you I hate you!" I shut the door behind me and grab Lucas by the collar.

"You better protect her. I'll be coming by every-fucking-day to check on May." I release him and start to my house.

May

I hate everything.

I hate Max.

I hate people.

I hate school.

I hate life.

I'm currently sitting in AP Literature, and I want to kill myself. Thankfully lunch is next, and I'll be able to rant to Lena and Alex and see Jared. My head is throbbing so hard I feel like it will explode.

I packed all my books this morning, and my toiletries. To be quite honest, I don't mind moving in with Lucas, I just don't want people to think I need to be protected or something. I'm strong enough to defend myself.

"Class dismissed," Mr. Parker says two minutes before the bell rings. I quickly gather my things and stuff my books into my bag.

"Miss. Laurent, please stay back." Oh crap. I didn't do anything! "You're not in any trouble Miss. Laurent, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. You know, with Derek coming back and all." Mr. Parker has a genuine look of concern on his face.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Can I leave now? I really need to talk to Lena, Alex, and Jared," I ask, annoyed. He sighs.

"Yes, I suppose. Oh, and you don't need to complete the homework tonight, Alpha Lucas of Ares told me the situation," he smiles. I leave, muttering a few colorful words directing them at Lucas.

"May," a deep voice comes up from behind me in the hallway and they put their hands on my shoulders.

"Jared," I bury my face in his chest while hugging him. We stand there for a while until Alex come up.

"May!" He hugs me. "I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!" I blush, because I was hugging Jared.

"We saw each other yesterday, Alex," I mumble.

"Jared, right?" Alex asks, looking at Jared.

"Yeah, we met yesterday at lunch," Jared remembers.

"Let's go to lunch, I'm starving!" Lena exclaims.

"Okay, but I have to tell you guys something serious," I tell them.

"Ooo does it involve Smoking Hot Sexy Pants?" Lena wiggles her eyebrows.

"Who's Smoking Hot Sexy Pants?" Jared asks as we walk through the hallways to the lunch room. My face turns bright red.

"Duh. It's Lu-" I clamp my hand over Alex's mouth before he can continue.

"Duh, its you," I evasively lie. He raises his eyebrow at me. "I'll meet you at the lunch table?"

"Alright," he chuckles, kisses my cheek, and leaves to get his lunch.

"What did you want to tell us?" Lena asks. I unclamp my hand from Alex's mouth.

"Well... I'm moving to the Ares pack house with Lucas," I tell them. Alex's jaw drops. Lena screams with joy.

"Yay! Oh my gosh, you have to let me come over sometime!" Lena squeals.

"I don't want to," I whisper.

"Why not?" Lena pouts.

"Because they don't think I can protect myself," I say. "And Max wanted me to go."

"He was just trying to be a big brother," Alex smiles at me.

"Yeah, I guess, I just don't want to. I can still go to school only once a week and everything but I have to have a body guard. Lucas is going to keep me under lock and key."

"What?"

"Yeah, and I can't go anywhere without a body guard." We're quiet for a minute.

"Yeah, but forget about it! I'm starving! You will be okay, I'll help you pack. When are you moving in?" Lena asks,

"Tonight," I groan.

"We will come!" Alex hugs me.

"Thanks guys," I say, and we all head to the cafeteria. We get our trays and plop down next to Jared. He kisses the top of my head.

"Did you tell them?"

"Yeah," I nod. Then, the she-devil herself came and sat across from me.

"Hey bestie!"

Shalom, my readers. How'd you like the update?
