The Girl Who Changed The Alpha's Life (UNDER MAJOR CONSTRUCTION)

Chapter 13

EDITED.

Avery's dress for later in the chapter can be seen above.

(Avery's POV):

It's been three days since Zeke asked me on a date, making it Friday. The day we're meant to go out.

Of course, I moved back to my parents house with the threat of Dylan having been removed from my life. I'm still a bit weary about the situation though. It seems odd that he would just up and leave, when he seemed so determined before. But I guess the rogue camp was completely abandoned, and Dylan even left behind some sort of diary confirming it.

Zeke refused to show me the diary though, claiming that it was extremely disturbing. I guess there was something in there about Dylan wanting to kill me after I lost my will to fight back against him, only much more graphic. Hearing that sure as hell makes me glad I didn't give up, or else I wouldn't be sitting in front of my vanity getting ready for school right now.

School was quite miserable that week that Zeke wasn't there. Although I was pissed off at him, his presence was a calming factor for me. That's exactly why I would help him with the rogue issue after school, although we just were working together. Nothing more than that. I simply needed to be closer to him.

Sammy and I did grow close at school though in that week, and sometimes I would even help her and Jacob out with patrol times during lunch. Scheduling patrols was a pain really, but Sammy made it enjoyable really. She has quite a sense of humor.

Now that Zeke is back at school though, we've been forced to spend a bit more time together. Things are certainly less tense between us, and I've completely forgiven him for what happened.

I just need to forget now.

But things just seem awkward to a certain extent. Almost like we both aren't sure what to do when around one another, or aren't confident what the boundaries of our relationship are yet.

We've been holding hands, giving the occasional peck on the cheek to one another, and a hug here and there, so it's almost like we're starting completely over. Our relationship right now is essentially what would be considered a middle schooler relationship, but I'm fine with that for now. There needs to be more trust and honesty between us before things get any more heated.

I finish brushing my knotted white hair, and throw it into a ponytail. I don't feel like bothering with makeup today, and just throw on some sweatpants and a hoodie. I honestly just don't feel like trying today. I'm tired, and I don't think anyone else should be too concerned with how I look.

I scarf down some poptarts while in the kitchen, say goodbye to my parents, and head to school.

I've been somewhat on edge all morning, ready to get out of class. I have an urgent need to see Zeke, so thank God gym class is next. I don't know why I feel the need to simply be in the same room as him, call me clingy, but it puts my wolf at ease, despite the fact things are still a bit awkward between us.

I finish scribbling down some last few notes, and the bell rings.

I jump up from my seat, and I can feel Zeke through the walls going to the classroom door that I'm in. My wolf is already somewhat more calm from being able to feel where he is.

He timidly grabs my hand as I walk to the hallway, and we head to gym class together.

Splitting to the separate locker rooms, I run to the side that me and Sammy normally get dressed in. Changing into my gym shorts, I look over at her.

"Hey Sammy, will you help me get spiffed up later this evening?" I glance to the floor. "I kinda sort of have a date with Zeke."

Her eyes become as wide as saucers as she looks up from tying her shoes.
