Falling For My Guardian

Chapter 4

I slumped against my desk, tired as hell. When I had woken up a 3, I had only gotten another 10 minutes of sleep before I had woken up again. I groaned in annoyance; I just wanted to sleep. "Caroline! This is no time for sleeping! Do your work!" Mrs Johnstell snapped, her ruler snapping sharply against my desk.

I snuggled deeper into my arms. "Do it yourself." I muttered, cranky and sleep deprived.

Students gasped but I ignored them, feeling the warmth of Jack's arm on my shoulders. I smiled slightly. "Caroline!" Mrs Johnstell gasped.

As she spluttered for something to say, I closed my eyes. I felt Jack's hand softly stroking the back of my head.

"Principal's office! Now!" She snapped finally.

I glanced up at her boredly and sighed dramatically. I stood up and slung my bag over my shoulder, leaving the classroom in slow, sluggish strides.

As soon as we were out of the teacher's sight, Jack scooped me up into his arms. I moaned happily and snuggled into him, inhaling his yummy scent and closing my eyes again.

I felt the wind on my skin and opened my eyes slightly. "Where are we going?" I asked sleepily.

"Not to the principal's office," he chuckled softly, his grip on my tightening slightly.

"OK," I mumbled, not really caring.

"Go to sleep, my love." He whispered softly.

When I woke up, the sun was just setting, and a slight breeze rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees. I looked around and noticed with surprise that we were in the forest. How had we ended up here? Actually, I realized that I couldn't remember anything except throwing a pillow at Jack.

Speaking of Jack, where was he?

I looked down and laughed at myself. He was curled up in his wolf form around me, hardly surprising seeing as we were in a forest. His ears flicked as I fidgeted slightly.

Now that I was awake and fully rested, I didn't want to sit still.

My muscles were cramped, and I desperately needed a stretch.

I tried to stand but he just curled into a tighter ball around me.

Groaning, I poked him.

He growled softly at me, but didn't move.

Ugh! This boy is so annoying!!
