Accepted In The Pack *EDITING* *ON HOLD*

Chapter Ten: Acceptance

Ashton smiled like an idiot and kissed me roughly.

"I love you! I love you! I love you!" he said in between each kiss. When we had to come up for a breath, I crawled off of him and sat up. He did the same, but sideways wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled my shoulder to his chest. I turned a bit so my face was burried in his shirt.

"So what do we do now?" I asked him. He sighed.

"We should probably get back to the Academy. It's getting late." He scooped me up in his arms and got up, then he set me down on the ground. We walked to the car and he, once again, started up the engine.

When we got back to the Academy, Ashton held my hand as we walked back up to our dorms. We stopped outside of my room.

"Today was the best first date ever." I quietly muttered to him. He smiled and kissed my cheek softly.

"WHAT THE FU-!" I turned my head to the familiar voice and then the shushes that followed. I managed to see the quick faces of two of my pack members before my face flushed deep red.

"Get your Goddamn, idiotic, snooping asses over here now!" I yelled at them. They whispered a little before stepping out from behind the corner and staying a good five feet from me. All of my pack except for Pierce were in front of me. "Anything you would like to ask, dumbasses?" They all stayed quiet. "Really? Not one of you want to know why Ashton kissed my cheek? Or why I was gone the entire day? Well, then I'm glad to know you all give a shit!" I paused to see if any of them had anything to say. They were all keeping their gazes on the floor. "If you'd like to know, I was just on my first date." All of their heads looked up at me, their expressions in disbelief. "With Ashton, and it was great! I was almost able to forget about my overprotective, stupid-ass pack! But I shouldn't be so surprised to find that when I got back here, it's exactly the same." I paused again, glancing a little at Ashton. "I'm dating Ashton. He is my mate." They all gaped at me, seeming to get angry. "But if you guys really were my pack, and cared about me, you'd be happy for me. Pierce doesn't seem to be on that boat, though. That's sort of the reason why I think he is now a dickhead."

"I'm happy for you, Omen." Dominic muttered after a couple moments of silence. "I always knew you and Ashton were mates. I could see it whenever you two looked at each other." We all stayed quiet for a while. Then Elliot decided to break the silence.

"That sounded so gay, man." I rolled my eyes while all the guys laughed, but couldn't keep the smile off of my lips. 

"OK, OK, now can we all go to bed?" I asked them.

"It'll be a tight fit, but sure! Who's bed?" Simon asked. I playfully narrowed my eyes at him while everyone else laughed.

"Wise ass." I then waved them goodnight and went into my room.

It happened again. I could not get even a minute of sleep. Sighing, I got up and walked over to Ashton's room in my blue shorts and white crop tee. I never wore tank tops underneath my crop tees when I was sleeping. Anyway, I knocked on his door, which he almost immediately opened.

"Come on in." he told me. I grinned and hopped onto his bed, getting comfortable under the covers. Ashton climbed in after me and hugged my waist from behind. "Goodnight, Beautiful." he whispered in my ear.

"Night, Handsome." He kissed my neck and we fell asleep.

"Omen," I felt someone shake my shoulder. I rubbed my eyes and forced myself to leave my peaceful dream. I opened my eyes to see the gorgeous face of my boyfriend hanging over me. "We have class soon." I sighed and got up. I kissed him goodbye and made my way to my dorm. Then, I changed into a pair of black skinny jeans, black converse, and a domo shirt. I brushed my messy hair, noticing I had to redye it, for my blondness was peeking out. I brushed my teeth and made my way to my first class. When I sat down in my seat, I noticed that Pierce was sitting at the desk farthest away from me.
