Being Seen 〰 Teen Wolf (BOOK 1)

2

Nesselia's POV

I woke up for the hundredth time but this time to something wrapped around me. I cautiously opened my eyes and became shocked to see a tanned arm wrapped around my body and held loosely to, none other than, Scott McCall's chest.

I knew he was unaware of it being there, so I cautiously slip out with a slight struggle before successfully getting to a stand. In my head I already decided I was not going to mention this to anyone, ever.

I checked to see what time it was on my phone and found that it was barely 6 in the morning, meaning I had enough time to take a shower and head home quickly to get a ride with Stiles.

I rushed into Melissa's room silently, getting my clothes that I kept here, then I ran into the shower. While in the shower, I couldn't help but tear up as my mind brought up the face of the dead women. I mean she looked so similar to Laura but it couldn't be her, could it?

After I washed what I needed to, I hurried and got dressed and brushed my teeth. For my hair, I just let it naturally dry since I hate doing anything else to it.

I checked the time and seen I had a half hour to rush home and wake up Stiles so we aren't late for school. I checked in on Scott and made sure he had his alarm set to wake him in half an hour so he wasn't late either, then I set off with my walk home.

The whole way home I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched so I had to rush home quicker than usual. Once I got there though, I was greeted by an already wide awake Stiles.

"And where have you been young lady?" he asked causing me to roll my eyes.

"Well after you left us, I just decided to not come home so I wouldn't get caught like you." I didn't tell him everything that happened because Scott will likely fill him in and I won't be bothered with explaining to him by myself all the details.

"Well I'm just glad you're okay. Oh and by the way, you owe me big time for covering for you."

"Are you serious? You're the one who dragged me into that yesterday so I think we can call it a truce." With that he looked conflicted. We had a stare off with him crossing his arms and me giving him puppy dog eyes and a pout. I watched as he started to pierce his lips which meant he was gonna give soon.

"Ugh fine, whatever. We got 20 minutes to get to school so hurry up and lets go."

Once we got to school, Stiles rushed me so we could meet up with Scott. I guess Scott had called Stiles when I walked home and filled him in.

"Alright. Lets see it." Stiles excitedly demanded once we met up with Scott.

"It was too dark to see, but I'm pretty sure it was a wolf." Scott explained while showing us the bandaged bite. What threw me off was that there was no wolves in California but we had heard one last night and I didn't even think of that fact until now.

"A wolf bit you? No, not a chance." Stiles scoffed out, unconvinced.

"Nesselia and I both heard a wolf howling."

"No you guys didn't." Stiles denied still unconvinced.

"What do you mean 'No we didn't?' How do you know what we heard? I mean we both heard the same thing." Scott argued back.

"Because there isn't any wolves in California. Not in like 60 years." Stiles explained.

"Really?"

"Yes really. There are no wolves in California."

"Well if you don't believe me about the wolf, you definitely won't believe me when I say we found the body." Scott finally told Stiles.
