In the Dark

In the Dark Chapter 3

Alycia's POV

I had to do this, I thought repeatedly trying to make it sound right. I knew Jeremy meant something to me something I always wanted. I want to be with him but I heard them last night. He wanted me to join his pack but he didn't want me as his mate. I didn't want to be so close to him if I couldn't be with him that was the cruelest punishment imaginable. He could have all the girls he wanted I didn't care. I sat on the first class couch and stretched out. I listened to my iPod and wrote in my diary.

Dear Diary,

Why doesn't this hurt so much? I've never been good with pain. I can't imagine life without him but he wants anyone but me. I've been in the dark so long I don't know if I can even recognize the truth anymore. I know I want to be with him but god why is everything so complicated. I can't even blame anyone it's like that one time my ice cream melted all over my hand at the fair. I should have done something faster but I was afraid. Except this time I wasn't protecting myself from brain freeze I was protecting my heart from being broken. I have to do this trip and when I get home well we'll see. As always thanks for listening,

We landed England and went to work sightseeing. I cheered up even though the weather was terrible. London was so beautiful it made my world seem so dull. On the last day there we went shopping and I bought a worn black leather I absolutely LOVED. We went to Paris next and on the last day there I took a big step towards the new me.

" Hello kids", the salon manager said walking over seeing how many shopping bags we had. " I want the international look", I said sitting down. " Alright then", he said excitedly. He started to groom my hair using a moving chair taking me from station to station. The others got the same thing done and we got the works. Terry got hair but the girls and I got hair, nails and facials. They even tried out some makeup and gave me free stuff. At the end we all looked in the mirror. I looked beautiful like a superstar except I never saw anyone who looked like this. I actually only one hair color and it was nice. We paid the men and women then went for coffee. People were staring at us but we just ignored them. I felt special somehow superior to my sister for the first time ever. I liked the power to be the one. The one everyone wanted to be. I was still me though so I saw every glare for women and girls alike and the winks for guys of all ages. I'd found myself in Paris and I liked the new me. I could break hearts and I could get into anywhere. The only thing on the outside that was the same was my hazel eyes, a mix of brown and green that looked bronze in the lights here. My features weren't as hidden as they usually were but that was fine. We went to a club and danced that night. " Bartender a vodka spritzer please", I said showing my fake ID. " A lot of drink for you little lady", a guy said sitting down next to me.

" You're speaking to a girl that once drank an entire bottle of tequila when she went sleep walking", I said handing over number for the drink. " Prove it", he smirked. I bent down to the straw and sucked on it for minutes until it was empty. I stood up and clapped my hands together. " Nice job", he said nodding, " I owe you an apology". " For what?", I asked. " Not asking you to dance sooner", he said taking my hand and taking me to the dance floor. A tough guy I could enjoy this. We started dancing to an American song called Dynamite. I loved this he wasn't so gentle with me like the guys back home but he wasn't mean. Maybe not all men were heartbreakers.

6 months later...

We got on the plane for the last time five minutes ago. We're all laughing and talking about Mickey Mouse. I kissed Damon on the cheek and he kissed me down the neck. Damon was the guy from Paris he followed me through the countries and we started out as just friends. Terry had a boyfriend and the other girls were dating too except Snow. She'd decided she couldn't live without Peter something I didn't really understand but it was her decision. The whole way home I thought about seeing Jeremy again. I wasn't sure I could handle it. He was my mate and the last six months had been a hell and a half. He probably didn't even remember me. I didn't know what to expect I was out of contact with that world. Damon hugged me and we sat together for the rest of the ride. I changed into off the shoulders long sleeved purple satin top and some black skinny jeans with charms hanging off a ring. I wasn't sure I was ready to be back but as the plane landed I knew it was too late to turn back. We filed off the plane and walked over to the school. It was time to face the music as it turned out literally.

Jeremy's POV

I sat at my table while most of the school was dancing and singing High School Musical songs including all of my current girls. Katy was still one of them of course she was the prettiest girl in the whole school. She was flexible and fun and she made a good wolf. She was a member of our pack and she hadn't found her mate yet. I was the official alpha of the most powerful and largest pack in the States life didn't get better. Something was missing though or rather someone. The alpha female for my pack. I hadn't seen Alycia since that day or heard from her. I wondered sometimes what her reaction to the new school musical would be. Without her there was a huge empty void. I heard the bell ring and everyone started singing We Go Together as they ran to classes. I was unaffected by the musical as I walked to class. " Spoil sport", Katy said straddling me sitting down. " I don't dance", I said with a smirk, " or sing".

The teacher started talking about something and I looked at the new white board and thought about the last one. " Oh good kids you're here how was the trip", he said looking at the door. " Sweet as chocolate", the first girl was walking into the room with a guy. She had short dark purple hair curled in just above her shoulders and big blue eyes. " Fabulous", the next girl said with a guy on her arm. This girl was gorgeous too with long curly black hair down at her shoulders. " Wicked", a guy said walking in with a guy obviously gay. The talking guy had spiked blue hair and black eyes. " Not enough time to shop", a sweet voice said and I saw her walk in. I took back what I said earlier about Katy being the prettiest no one was competition for this girl. She had long hair that went almost down to her waist and it looked like solid gold. She had long bangs that almost covered her eyes made her look more mysterious. Wait she had a guy with her too of course she was taken. " Geeks Anonymous", the blue haired guy cheered. The other cheered too and we all gaped.

" Owned", they said then the teacher called attention to the front. " Good to see you Beverly, Melanie, Terry, Alycia", he nodded. Alycia? I looked through the girls none of them looked like her wait where was Snow?

" Snow, Peter would you like to join the class", he said unsure. I looked over and saw Snow and Peter making out in the doorway. " Get a room", Duncan muttered. " Can we?", Snow teased. She looked different too short blonde hair sticking in every direction with white tips. I looked back at the group and tried to find Alycia. Suddenly I meet a pair of familiar hazel eyes. I looked down and it was the last girl from earlier. Alycia she looked the most different of any of them. " I like gold girl", Howard said. " She's mine", I growled. " Oh Aly's yours right", he said and immediately the guys stopped staring at her. " Are you going to make her yours", Duncan whispered. " I don't know", I said unsure. " Because if you don't that guy will", he said quietly and I saw that the guy from earlier was kissing her up the arm. He didn't have permission to kiss her ANYWHERE. I growled and she looked over and meet my eyes. She looked at Katy who was still straddling me and I thought I saw jealousy for a second there. Alycia was jealous of Katy that was so cute.

" Mr. Larose can I talk to Alycia for a second in the hall", I said daring him to say no. He was a member of my pack he had to do what I said. " Very well", he nodded.
