My Mate Is A Hunter

Chapter 2 - Jealousy and a Day At the Mall

(Jace)

I glanced around the lunch room again, looking for those blue eyes that I quickly fell in love with. 

"Dude, what's wrong with you?" Jaden chuckled.

I smiled remembering my beautiful mate. I looked to my best friend and saw he was giving me a knowing smile. 

"I found her. I found my mate." I said smiling goofily.

"Who is she?" He smiled.

One thing you need to know about Jaden, he never stops smiling. Never. He fell asleep on the couch once. He smiles in his sleep. It's crazy.

"Her name is Cody."

"Cody? Odd name for a girl." 

"That's what's cool about her! The unique name!" 

"Where is she?" He asked.

My hazel eyes scanned the lunch room again, finding no sight of those electric blue eyes. 

"I don't know." I sighed.

"Let's go outside and see if she's there." Jaden suggested.

We threw our lunches away, and walked out the lunch room doors. Outside we saw a group of girls gathered around something and laughing.

The wind blew, and I caught that vanilla batter scent. 

"She's out here." I whisper.

"You're just an ugly loner with no friends!" A voice screamed.

"Cassie." Jared said.

"She's in the middle." My eyes widened, and I ran over to the group.

"I have a friend." Cody's voice said quietly.

"One friend doesn't count loser!" 

I elbowed my way through, and saw Cody getting violently shoved by Cassie.

I fought back a growl. Too many humans for witnesses.

"Cassie!" Jaden yelled, using alpha tone. 

Cody had tears in her eyes, and she sank to the floor. 

It hurt me to see her like this. I walked over to her, and wrapped an arm around her. Her arms went around my waist, and her face went to my chest. I hugged her closer to me, and ran my fingers through her silky black hair.

"What hell do you think you're doing?!" Jaden scolded Cassie.

"I'm sorry, alpha." She whispered quietly.

"You have to respect Cody now. She's the beta's mate. Got it?" 

"Yes, alpha." 

Cassie is the biggest problem of the pack. She likes to have 'fun' with some of the guys, and when they find their mates, she get's all clingy and bitchy. Jaden considered kicking her out of the pack, but his father is best friends with her father. He couldn't do that. 

Cassie looks like a huge slut. Her long platinum blonde hair fell down to her waist, and with her green eyes, she could get anything she wants. She wears short skirts, and tight shirts. I've never once seen her wear pants. Even in the winter.

Cody sobbed into my shirt, and I rubbed her back soothingly, and pressed my cheek to her hair. "You're going to be okay." I tell her.

"We'll talk more at the house." 

I heard Jaden's footsteps walk over, and he sat down. "She okay?" 

"I don't know."

"I'm fine." Her melodic voice said. She rubbed her eyes, and sat up.
