The Alpha's Law

12- Treehouse

"Excuse me" A handsome voice calls from the doorway. Immediately my pulse quickens, warning me that it's Jace. He's standing in the doorway looking extremely hot as usual. He shoots me a quick wink before turning to Mrs. Shreighton.

"Dr. Treese would like to see Riley Kendall in his office right away" Jace says trying to look innocent. Dr. Treese is the principal and I would bet anything he has no interest in seeing me.

"For what?" Mrs. Shreighton sighs looking suspicious. She is in the middle of teaching us to say our ages, and obviously isn't happy being interrupted.

"No idea" Jace smiles. Mrs. Shreighton rolls her eyes in disbelief but agrees anyway. She is a nice teacher in that way.

Jace leads me out into the hallway quickly. He is obviously an awful influence on me. Before this I have never skipped class before.

Jace leads me out to his car in complete silence. Wherever he's taking me, it better be worth it. Skipping and leaving school gets you a week's detention.

"Where are we going?" I ask strapping in my seatbelt. Jace chuckles but doesn't answer. Instead he straps himself in and pulls out of the driveway.

We drive past houses and the forest line until we are a mile away from civilization. Torchwood is actually a beautiful place if you don't mind an endless scene of green.

We pull up on the edge of the forest line. Jace hasn't said a word the entire way. Finally he gets out of the car and comes to my side. He is such a gentleman under his Player exterior. He opens the door helping me out of the car. He drives a black escalade, and is probably worrying about me scratching up the paint job.

"What are we doing here?" I ask as the curiosity gets the best out of me. There is nothing around here except for trees, rocks, dirt, and grass. 

"It's not here, we have some running to do" Jace smiles down on me. He literally has to smile down on me since he towers over me at 6 foot.

He must read the horrified expression on my face because he scowls. I haven't changed into wolf form since I first changed. My wolf has been begging to get out but I am too scared. 

"It's fine, trust me" Jace smiles cupping my chin with his giant hand. Immediately tingles shoot up from where Jace's hand is touching my skin. I will never get used to that feeling.

"Oh geez fine" I huff crossing my arms over my chest. It was going to happen sooner or later. Might as well happen when I am with Jace.

"Well take your clothes off" He says like it's nothing. My eyes practically pop out of my head at his words. Mate or not, I am not getting naked in front of him... yet. I have always had self-confidence issues. Getting naked in front of him would do nothing to boost my self-esteem.

"Turn around" I sigh making a spinning motion with my finger. He does what he's told but doesn't seem happy about it. He truly is a pervert.

"I don't know why you care. I am going to see you naked sooner or later" He laughs. As true as it might be I'm not letting him see me now. Quickly I undress and tie the clothes to my ankle. I learned that trick from Kameron.

"Just relax and picture yourself as your wolf" Jace instructs through the mind link. He made it look so painless and easy the last time I saw him change. It sounded horrific and gruesome but it looked painless. I can't remember what it felt like the first time. I can remember it hurt but not anything else. I must have passed out mid change.

I close my eyes and slow my breathing and picture the giant chestnut beast. Nothing happens except goose bumps raise on my arms from the cold spring wind blowing past.
