Revenge

Chapter 11

I wake up the next morning with my lips still tingling. I lightly brushed them and thought about the events that occurred last night. Why is Zach such a jerk, yet tells me things like that. He really likes me? Or is this just one of his stupid games? I don't know if I can take him playing with me anymore. Before I go assuming anything, I need to ask him straight forward what his intentions are.

I pulled up to school and parked in a different parking spot so my friends wouldn't immediately see me. I glanced to the front of the parking lot and saw Zach. He was standing beside a girl with chocolate brown hair. Even though he was standing very close to her, I was grateful that he wasn't touching her. He laughed at something his friends said and I took a deep breath.

Why did you do that last night? I asked Zach through our mate bond. He turned his head to where I normally park my car and his smiling lips turned down in a frown.

Where are you?

Answer my question first.

I just wanted to show you that I do care about you. You're a really good person Piper, with a smokin' body.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop the giggle that escaped my mouth. I didn't need his words to effect me so much.

So you're just going to stop whoring around and accept me as your mate all of the sudden?

Well, I'm not ready to grow up just yet. I want to spend the last two years of my high school life and enjoy it. I want to just be a teenager while it lasts.

So you're saying that you don't want to be my mate?

No! I want to be your mate, just not yet. I want to still party while I can instead of being tied down. Just for these next couple years.

What you're saying, is that you want me to stand on the sidelines while you sleep around with girls just so you can get your fill of high school? Why did I have to get stuck with such a heartless bastard like you? Why can't you be normal and care about peoples feelings? Is that really too much to ask?

That's not exactly what I'm saying. I don't want to complete the mating bond until after I graduate high school.

I could not believe what I was hearing! How can someone be so heartless? Why can't I get a mate like Will or something? He's sweet and caring and very attractive. My wolf started purring at me for describing him. Normally if I even thought about someone else, she would snap at me. I don't know why she likes Will so much, but I'm glad she does.

I hopped out of my car and glanced at Zach. His eyes snapped to mine and he gave me his winning smile. Perfect straight white teeth shining in his 100 watt smile. My heart melted but my eyes narrowed. I bared my teeth for a fraction of a second then turned my head away. I put my walls up because I was not about to let my emotions ride anymore roller coasters. They've crashed and burned too many times with me on it.

His scent hit me before I even saw him. Will dislodged himself from his group of friends, which just so happened to be Zach's group too. I looked up to find Will walking towards me with his lips turned up in that beautiful smile of his. My eyes softened and a small smile played on my lips. When he reached me, he planted a kiss on my cheek.

"You look extremely pissed off. Is everything okay?" He asked with concern showing clear in his eyes.

I plastered a lazy smile across my face and leaned into his side. He stretched his arm over my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around his waist. "Everything is just fine," I said and really meant it. Will is becoming a part of my life and he does make everything better.
