Chapter 4

Lunch time rolled around and I decided to sit in the courtyard today, planning to stay out of trouble. It was pizza day, as it was every third Wednesday at my school, and for once it was actually edible. Sitting down under the large oak, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Turning around, I spotted Jason walking my way. Man, that boy just couldn’t take a hint.

“What do you want Jason”

“Awww I’m touched. You remembered my name. I said I was gonna sit with you during lunch and that’s what I intend to do. Besides it’s a free country, you can’t stop me from sitting under an oak and minding my own business.

“No, I can’t. But I can get up and leave. And before you say anything, if you follow me, that could be considered stalking, and I can get you in trouble for that.” I said with a smug smile on my face. Maybe that would stop him. As I got up to leave, suddenly I was face to face with the one and only Katie. Fun.

“Can this day get any worse?? What did I supposedly do to you this time, Katie?”

“So a new guy comes in and you automatically scoop him up huh? Can’t leave any guys for the rest of us can you, you skanky slut.” I stiffened and started shaking in anger with those words.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean,” I asked in an angry whisper. I hope this doesn’t turn ugly. Uncle John will kill me if I have two incidents in a row.

“Well, it’s bad enough that you have a kid and not tell anyone who the father is. I mean hell, no one wants to date a guy with a kid so the ones here are pretty much useless. You just ruin everything for everybody. And now you go and take the new guy. Boy, how shallow can you get.”

Pain ripped through my stomach with those words. I knew everyone knew about Hope but I didn’t think they thought I was a slut. My whole body began to hurt. I finally understood what people meant when they said ‘seeing red’. I was trembling and all of a sudden a growl ripped from my throat. Wait…did I really just growl. What am I some sort of dog. Everyone who had gathered around looked shocked. Next, thing I know, they’re all taller then me and there are strips of fabric fluttering around me.

What the hell just happened, I tried to say but all my ears could pick of was this strange growling sound. And speaking of ears, I could hear so much more than normal. I could tell that everyone’s heart rate had picked up and they were all staring at me and if I was in the circus. Looking down at my feet, I noticed I didn’t have any feet. HOLY SHIT, those are paws. I looked around feeling trapped and decided to make a run for it. The crowd was kinda think but I’ll try anyways. I backed up a little bit, took a running start, and sailed over everyone.

Jason’s POV

“I thought you said she was human…” I said looking as shocked as everyone else.

“We thought she was. I mean her father used to be the Alpha of our pack, but when he disappeared and she never shifted, we all assumed that she didn’t get the gene. Thought she was normal. But I did warn you, stay away from her if you wanna make any friends around here.”

“I would have been an outcast anyways. In case you haven’t taken the time to actually notice my scent, I’m not exactly a wolf like all of y’all.”

“You’re not a wolf?” She cautiously came closer and sniffed around my neck, no longer trying to rub up on me. She probably thought I would taint her pureblood wolf. “Ew, I smell….leopard I think”
