"Why do humans make everthing so difficult?"

Lupe

"Lupe. Wake up, you gotta get up."

Opening my eyes, I see Paul holding up what looked like clothes. They looked more girly. Smaller too.

"Emily and Kim brought you some clothes for your first day." I groan, a yawn leaving my mouth as I stretched out my limbs.

Trying to ignore Paul, I go limb in the bed and try to fall back to sleep. Slowly, my mind drifts off. Just as I'm about to fall back to sleep, I'm lifted by two strong arms. Whining, I open my eyes to see Paul carrying me and walking me to the bathroom.

Setting me down to the floor, Paul leaves the room for me to shower.

After my shower, I get dressed and decide to brush my hair out. Emily said I have natural waves and that I could pass with just brushing it out so all I have to do is let it air dry. As I finish brushing out my hair, Paul walks in to get dress in the bathroom. He said he showered last night so he doesn't need to do so again in the morning. I watch as he walks around the room without a shirt on. Admiring his muscular frame. I snapped out of my haze when he pulled a shirt he had found over his head. Turning to me, he looks me over.

"Ready?" he asks, I nod picking up the bag that held 'school stuff' as Paul put it. We exit the room and walk downstairs. Stopping when we see a man, looking to be around mid 30s.

"Paul. What have I told you about bring girls home." the man says strictly.

"Dad! Wai-no. That's not wha- this isn-t-" Paul rushes out, still shocked to see the man here.

"Other girls?" I growl, looking at Paul. My possessive instincts coming in.

"No- Lupe-It's not like that-" I growl louder, not liking the idea of Paul being with another female.

"You are my mate! When I find her, I will put her in her place and make it clear that no other female is to have you. Only me!" Paul turns to face is father, expecting him to say something. Stress is evident on Paul's face.

"Mate? As in imprint?" he asks us.

Before I can answer, Paul speaks up. "Yeah. Dad, this is my imprint, Lupe. Lupe, this is my dad." his dad puts out a hand, expecting me to do something. I stare at it, unsure of what to do. Ignoring that, I move back to the subject at hand. "Tell me more about the woman that Paul would have over." Paul, jumping in action, grabs me by the shoulders and ushers me out the door quickly and into his truck.

Once we got to our destination, Paul began to explain again what school was.

"So tell me why I need to be here?" I ask, not understanding my purpose.

"Sam wants you to blend in. Get used to being around people, and society. You can't live like an animal anymore."

"But we are animals." I whisper, recalling when Sam told me that our abilities were a secret to humans.

"But we're also human." he sighs, dropping his arm over my shoulders and pulling me closer to his body. I wrap my arms around Paul's waist to get in a comfortable position. Exhaling a deep breath, I relax in his arms.

"Don't listen to what anybody tells you." Paul whispers. I extend my hearing range to understand what he meant.

"Who's the new girl?"

"Lahote already banging the new girl, damn!"

"Damn, I know where I want her tonight. In my bed, screaming my name." I turn to whoever said that and am repulsed when he licks his lips in a seductive manner. Paul, hearing the comment, pulls me closer to him. Glaring and slightly growling at the perverted boy.

"Come on. Let's go get your schedule."

From there, we went to get my schedule. I have 1st (math), 3rd (biology), and 7th (world history) with Paul. I also have a couple of classes with the guys as well. And from what Paul told me, we all have lunch together. Lunch is after 4th period, so he showed me how to get from my class to lunch. In the mornings, the lunchroom is where people come to hang out before class starts. More specifically, it's where all the guys and imprints meet up.

When we entered the cafeteria, however, I was not pleased at what I saw. Paul left me at the table with guys, saying he was going to get us both breakfast. But he was taking long, so I turned around to see if I could spot him. And when I did, a nasty snarl left my lips as my vision turned a hazy red. The guys stopped all conversation, snapping all attention to look at me in shock and fear. Embry, noticing my eyes change, rushed to my side and stuffed these shaded glasses on my face. When I went to take them off, he smacked my hands away. Telling me I needed them on. I didn't ask why since I was trying not to shift in front of all these humans.

Seeing a female with my mate. Touching him even. She touched him in way that was staking a claim in from of everyone. How she let her hand slide against his chest and pushed her frame closer to his, only I could do that. She wore what looked to be a floral baby blanket that ended higher than midthigh. I jumped to my feet and stalked towards them. The wolves quietly shouting at me to stop and not do anything but right now I couldn't and I wouldn't stop.

Upon hearing his friends calls for his imprint, Paul turned back. Only to see me walking towards them. He smiled at me, not realizing the current situation.

"Hey babe, wha-"

A loud smack rang though the whole room. Everyone stared in shock as some witnessed me strike the girl across the face. Paul stood there, shocked as well, when he saw the quickly appearing bruise on her face.

Before I could continue my attack, Paul pushed me out of the room hurriedly and into the men's bathroom. Locking the door behind him, he turned to face me. Waiting for me to explain myself. When I didn't, he asked himself.

"What the hell was that?" motioning to the direction on the lunchroom, I looked at my mate as if he said the stupidest thing ever.

"Putting her in her place. You're my mate. She isn't to touch you that way. Only I am." I explained, in an obvious tone.

"You can't-" Paul being cut off by my lips crashing against his own. Responding immediately, Paul dropped his school bag on the floor and pulled me closer to him. He slowly guided me to the sinks where I jumped for him to catch me and sit me down. Paul continued by standing between my legs. When his toung slide over my bottom lip, I took that as signal to allow him entrance into my mouth, which I did. A part of me was saying to stake a claim here and now, the animalistic side, but the other, human side, was saying to just prove a point. To me, though, those could easily mean the same thing.

Before we could take anything farther, rapid knocking sounds throughout the room. Paul pulls away and groans loudly. Trying to ignore them, he goes to kiss me again but I push him away and go to open it. It's the pack.

"Lupe!"
"What the hell was that?"
"That was so cool!"  "-hot"

Upon hearing the last word, Paul glared at Embry.

"Watch it, Call." Paul grunted, strictly. I smile at my mate's possessiveness and scoot closer into his side, him accepting me and wrapping his arm around my waist.

"What's wrong, Lahote? Lupe got you by the balls already?" laughed Embry, Jared high-fiving him as he laughed along. Paul glared at them, going to say something but didn't as a loud ring sounded. I cry as my sensitive ears are molested by the sound. I quickly clutched my ears, my legs giving out as well. Just as quickly as it came, it went. Paul crouched down to my struggling position and pulled me up. Helping to steady me before any of the humans saw.

"And so hell begins." Jared's imprint, Kim, comments.
