The monster within

    I walk to my locker keeping my head down. When I got there I quickly opened it and glanced over my shoulder. Shoving my stuff inside I caught his scent. I slammed my locker shut and glanced down the hall, he had stopped and was talking to Grace. Hurry, my wolf whined. I am trying, I snapped. I turned in the opposite direction and sprinted to my first hour. Halfway there I slipped and all my books with across the hallway. I scrambled up and heard him chuckle behind me. You're in for it now,  my wolf hissed. Deciding to ignore him I chased my books down the hall and into my first hour class. As I bent down to get them he grabbed my waist. Alpha Redwood?  I said through our mind link.

    Why so formal, love? He said. Didn't you miss me?

   Enough with the 'love' bullshit. I saw you at the pack house. I rolled my eyes.  Remember? You were sucking face with Jessica.

    Awww, is the big bad wolf jealous? He teased. By the way I noticed you didn't eat breakfast. Are you feeling sick? Concern rang through his voice,that only pissed me off.

    I'm fine, don't worry about it. I snapped. He still had his hands on my waist. Fuck off, manwhore. I walked to my desk and sat down. Jared stalked past me and to the back of the room, I noted he sat right next to Jessica. What the hell did you just do! my wolf asked, panicking. I made him go away. He's not bothering us now is he? I replied thoroughly annoyed. I pulled out a piece of paper and started to take notes.

    Mr Jenkins talked all the way to the bell, leaving of scrambling to collect are things. I ran out of the classroom trying to avoid both Jessica and Jared. Thankfully I wouldn't see them until lunch. 2nd and 3rd hour passed in a blur, math and science whenever my best subjects. Walking into 4th hour I was in a state of bliss. Art was always one of my best classes and one of the only ways for me to express myself. This year was supposed to be the year we got a new art teacher. Last year Ms.Kohl had a nervous breakdown and Mr late and slipped into a coma after having a stroke. I went down at my schedule I would have Mr Jerrold. Great. I walked into the classroom and was confused. Is Mr.Jerrold a girl? I thought. God, that would be confusing.

    "Hello class, my name is Mrs.Scottsdale. I am subbing for the next two weeks while Mr Jerrold is away." Oh, that makes sense. "While I am here you will be painting. What you will paint is completely up to you. All I ask is that you work, this will be entered in a contest." she said nicely. I think I like her. She is way better than Mrs.Kohl, who I may or may not have cause to have a nervous breakdown. What can I say? I'm gifted in many ways.

    "Mrs.Scottsdale? Uhmm, where are the canvasses?" Dale asked timidly.

    "That's the fun part. You won't be using canvases, instead you will paint your ART on one of your fellow students. Quickly pair yourselves up while I explain." Mrs. Scottsdale moved to the computer, still talking. I quickly scan the room, looking for eligible partners. Dale walked up to me timidly.

    "Hiya Dale, wanna be partners?" He didn't answer, just stared at me. I took that as a yes. "Okay then, lets start sketching." Still no response,this was gonna be a long to weeks. Jared walked over to our table looking confused.

    Ummm, aren't we going to be partners? He asked. When I shook my head he got aggravated. Are you kidding me?! Most of the girls here would be begging to have me paint on them and you turn me down for... for Dale?! This is fucking bullshit!!

    If your so confident that that is true than work with one of them asshole.

    Remember that I am your alpha. When we get home you will be punished for disrespecting me.

    Fuck off. I smiled and watched as he stalked towards his desk.

    "Your going to get suspended again. I don't know why  you try so hard to piss him off." Dale said quietly.

    "At times it's just too easy. He sets himself up for it, honestly." I reply. Why the hell does everyone care so much?

    "Yeah, well, whatever." He says clearly uncomfortable with the conversation.

    "Stand up for a sec. I wanna check something."He eyed me suspiciously but complied. I grabbed a fistful of his shirt and stretched it over his chest. "Hmm, that's what I thought." I muttered to myself. "Go ahead and sit down, super stud." he gave me a weird look but sat back down on his stool. "I bet you'll look great in a skin tight canvas suit." I said and winked. For the rest of the hour he was blushing and glancing up at me while I sketched. When the bell rung I gathered my sketches and headed for the cafe.

    Immediately upon entering I caught Grace and Jared's scents, as well as the other pack members. My friends sat at our usual table whispering urgently. Humming I grabbed a soda and pulled up a seat next to Katrina. Grace glanced at me and frowned. Jared pursed his lips debating weather or not to say anything.

    "Heya guys, wuz up?" i said ignoring the pair's heated eye conversation. No response. Sighing I switched to the mind link. What's wrong? Did someone spot a rouge. My wolf stirred, readying herself for a fight.

    No, we haven't had an encounter recently. Jared said trying to calm my wolf. What all have you eaten today? He asked agitated.

   That doesn't concern you, or the rest of the pack. I snarled at their fake concern. Grace and Kat flinched, while Dale scooted away subconsciously. Further more, Alpha, butt the FUCK OUT! While your at it get Liam to stop trailing me. They made me sick, the whole lot of them. Feeling myself losing control I threw my can in the trash and stormed out to the parking lot. My body was quivering in anticipation by the time I reached the treeline. I dropped to the ground letting the agony wash over me as I heard my bones snapping an reforming. My organs started shifting around and my face elongated. Fur claimed every inch of my body and I stood shakily.

    Not holding her back anymore my wolf took off slowing at the edge of our territory for a millisecond. I ran until finally I reached Tombstone Valley. Seeing that the sun was setting I pulled out my pack and shifted back to human form. I pulled out a thin blanket and wrapped it around myself watching the sun set. For once my wolf left me alone with my thoughts. I shifted back into a wolf and realized I hadn't eaten at all today. Oh well, it's not the first time. That night I slept as a wolf.

So yeah... this is my first serious story. plz bear with with me! this chapter is dedicated to GendrBentEdwardElric my first reader!!!!
