The next day was a Monday. Turns out chase was a new students from a few towns over. He was a hit and all the slutty girls were on him like a magnet. It made me feel sick to my stomach. What kind of competition was i up against. The only thing reassuring was the 'mate bond' that hardly did anything. He brushed all the girls aside looking straight into my eyes. The butterflies swarming my stomach as he walked up to me taking my hand.
I showed him around the school and didn't mention a thing about how i was living at a shelter. I told him that i was looking for a job to get some money. He responded with "yeah? Hey you can come over and i'll help you find one." I agreed and was satisfied when i saw the big grin on his face. I knew i had to tell him because he'd find out anyways. I'd rather it be by me though.
At the end of the day i told him that i had to run home and that id meet him at school. So thats what i did. I walked to the shelter and asked the lady to keep my stuff while i go job hunting. She agreed and i left. I decided to take a short cut and i was almost there when a group of guys surrounded me. The all were tall and built. Each had weird orange looking eyes. They all looked normal, human like. But their eyes starred deep into me.
One sucked in a deep breath and grinned while looking at me. He licked his lips and it looked slightly like a lizards tongue. My eyes widened and i stayed still. It became an instinct and i just stared at him. There was three of them. Each of them had pale skin and were staring at me intently. The one on the left mumbled something under his breath. The middle one, the one who licked his lips, growled and roughly said "I KNOW." The one on the right stepped closer to me. As soon as he put his foot down i turned and ran as fast as i could. It was probably not the best idea to do.
But deep down i knew i should. Everything about them screamed danger. I was still running at full speed when i reached the parking lot of the school. I got to chase and was panting so hard. I clutched onto him and he was asking me what happened, was i okay, who was i running from. Once i caught my breath, which was about five minutes after, i stood straight and started to explain. I told him everything that happened. Once i described the eyes and tongues he growled and pulled me closer.
I looked up at him confused. "they're called highmicks. They live off werewolf blood. they're disgracefully slow and weak. The only reason you got to out run them was because they have weird legs. Their feet don't have joints so they stay stiff and just stomp around. Pathetic creatures." That didn't add up. I was a human, why would they want me. "they must've smelt me on you so they thought you were their dinner." My skin crawled at the thought of the lizard like tongues licking their lips thinking of exactly that.
He pulled back and guided me to the passenger seat in the car. He closed the door and came to his side. Him sitting down beside me, seat belt on and anything on, i struggled to get mine on. My hands wouldn't stop shaking. He took the for me and buckled me in. He smoothed his hand over the side of my face then turned and started the car. I looked down at my hands as i fiddled around with them .
"maybe i can get you a spot at the pack daycare. You have two younger brothers, you should be good with kids right?" the mention of my brothers bring the pain from last night slamming right back. I breathe through my nose and swallow down the emotions. " yeah that would be great do they pay good?" he looks over at me and smiles. "good enough." He says.
I ended up getting the job and went home soon after. Chase dropped me off at my house and i stood at the front porch waiting for him to leave. When he did i walked to the shelter. It wasn't dark out yet so it was safe to walk. As soon as i arrived at the front door i see ane and her group. She spotted me and belt out laughing. Each booming noise is like a stab in the gut. She walks close to me with her eyes narrowed.
"Does chase know you're a homeless?" she says. The way she spits out homeless in disgust makes me cower down. She laughs again when she realises my answer is no. "Oh I'm so going to have fun with this." And with that her and her friends leave laughing.
I run inside and wait to get my stuff than find my room. An hour and a half has passed and i run out side to get a cab to go explain what is happening. Once i stumble out the door my heart stops because there he stands. His fists are clenched shaking in anger. He's so angry with me. That mate stuff was a lie. He's disgusted with me. Who would want a failure in their life.
A sob escapes my lips and i walked over to him. "When were you planning on telling me?" his voice sounded so hurt and weak. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close. After a while he pulled me close against him. "What happened?" then i told him everything that happened. He just held me close and tightened his grip when i told him what my mom said about us.
He pushed me at arm's length and kissed my forehead. "Let's go get your stuff you're coming to mine." He didn't give me time to protest because he was already inside. I followed him in and, with a lot of agreements, let him take my stuff. He put my boxes in the trunk of his car and we were off.
"I'll pay you a r-" i start to say but he cuts me off. "Don't even think about it. You were going to be moving in anyways. Now its just earlier." At this he side glances at me with a smirk on his face as my breath gets caught in my throat. I blush and he takes my hand no taking his eyes off the road.
