The Wolf Girl

Chapter 3

Milo came to the same conclusions as I after I had told him about the wolf. The Alpha wolf. There wasn't anything we could do since I had escaped that battle. Dead or alive that wolf was gone, and it wasn't likely I'd ever find him again...though a small voice inside me insisted that he was fine. It was the same voice that had leapt in pleasure when he'd arrived in that ominous forest.

Milo and I both knew that there had to be more werewolves. There was no way that the black wolf had been the last werewolf aside from us. Those kind of coinidences didn't exist. It was kind of thrilling to know that there was more than us. The lone Alpha left one less question unanswered.

I was restless that night. Like every night since I had seen the black wolf, when I closed my eyes all I coulds see where those icy blue lights...beautiful and unreadable. I growled and rolled onto my side. I stared out the window, where the sky was lightening. In just a few hours I'd be beginning my first day of highschool here.

I grimaced. Damn it.

Milo did his best at trying to enroll Igi and I into most of his classes. Unfortunately, my homeroom class would be without either of their support. I braced myself for the outright staring, whispering, and rumors that would begin as I approached the school, donning darkly tinted sunglasses, with my fellow pack members at my sides.

There was some whispering and quick glances, but not nearly as much of an uproar as I thought there might be. I knew that it was everyone's first day of school, meaning that we were not the only "new" kids, but Igi and I tended to carry an aggressively graceful presence everywhere we went. We often got stares at the supermarket. And then I inhaled something on the gentle breeze. I wrinkled my nose. It burned my nose, immediately leading me to believe that we weren't the only wolves here. It was the same scent that I picked up when I first met Milo and Igi. It only went away after the wolf joined your pack.

It was excedingly annoying and I quickly scanned the yards that were crawling with teenagers, determined to find the werewolves. "What is it La-" Igi began but gaped when the scent hit her. They both froze. Milo sweared and they fell silent, also searching.

The scent was strong. I was confident that there was a whole pack here which sent my heart racing in fear and curiosity. Just play it cool, Milo thought. It smells like its coming from inside. I wondered vaguely if this was all a ruse put up by the hunters, but shrugged the theory off as impossible. THey would never look in a highschool for us.

Either way, my guard didn't drop as we walked casually up the steps and towards the doors. We made our way to the office to get maps and our supplies, not a werewolf in sight.

I smirked. Pity they were too scared to show their faces. Milo got distracted with a few girls he knew from his last year he went here at the office entrance. They fauned over him, asking about his summer and such. Silly human girls. I rolled my eyes and dragged Igi into the office before she could introduce herself.

I managed to act polite enough to receive smiles and compliments from the office staff. This is what happens to werewolves. We are like diamonds, and everyone wants to look at and praise something sparkly.

We walked out of the office. The mild burning smell of unfamiliar wolves, coupled with the growing crowd of girls surrounding Milo were going to drive me insane. I rested against the wall until he was done talking to them. He had a grin on his face, enjoying the attention. The girls were a mystery, desire flickered in their eyes as they raked them over his body. I ground my teeth together, supressing very violent thoughts.

Igi chuckled. She knew I wasn't very tolerant when it came to girls flocking around Milo. No doubt he'd have a full fan club by this time tomorrow. I tried to see him from those girls' point of view. Strong, gorgeous with his shaggy blonde hair, and lean but tall structure. I found myself gaping.

Jealous Lavine? Milo laughed, catching my stare, and I quickly shook myself and threw him the glare of daggers. Of course not. Don't be ridiculous, I muttered.

He managed to break free from the girls, explaining gently that he had to be going to his first class. I latched onto Milo's hand and we walked down the hall. I could feel the girls' heated stares on my back. The burning smell grew worse as we walked closer to our classes. Eventually I had to split from Milo and Igi.

Not only was the scent stronger outside of my classroom door, but I could hear the steady heavy beat of a werewolve's heart inside. Milo could see my nervousness. Just be calm Lavine. Blend in, he told me, squeezing my hand. I nodded and Igi sent me a reassuring smile.

I kept my face blank and slightely bored as I entered the room. I refused to look in the wolve's direction. I didn't want to acknowledge him, but I could hear his heart pick up when he saw me. He would know I was a wolf the second he laid eyes on me. Let him get used to me...know that I'm not a danger, before I start asking questions, I instructed myself.

I sat down just a few mere seats away from him, but I could feel his eyes on me. I looked up to see two girls enter the class room, their bags slung over their shoulders. One had beautifully long auburn hair. She was tall and talked animatedly to the petite blond at her side. They both had soft brown eyes. I could smell Milo's scent on these girls as they approached me. They must have caught him out in the hall.

"Hi" said the tall one as she stopped at my desk. "You must be a friend of Milo's aren't you? We saw him with you earlier" she explained. I sighed. Another fan girl. "Look, I'm not going out with him" I began but they burst into laughter. I stiffened, surprised they'd respond that way. "What?" I asked annoyed.

The little blonde one spoke up. "We aren't going after him" she told me, her brown eyes amused. "We are good friends of Milo's from last year. I'm Amelia" she told me. "And this is Ronnie" she said gesturing to the red head who was finally recovering. Ronnie cleared her throat and took the desk next to mine. "No way. Those girls that were surrounding him in the hall were much of the same from last year. They are too damn insane to be friends of ours. Too obsessed" Ronnie told me. I cracked a smile.

"Have they had any success?" I asked curiously, slightly jealous. Ronnie laughed again her eyes sparkling. "Hell no. He may tease them on the occasion and give them much to much of his attention, but Milo is one of a kind. He's never come to more than that."

The class passed slowly. All the while the wolf assailed my senses, and Ionged so much to turn around and look at him. The bell rang and I rose to my feet along with Ronnie and Amelia. I didn't glance back until right before I walked out the door, and what I saw stopped my heart. I should have guessed he would catch my stare, but I felt my cheeks warm as I took in his appearance.

He had smooth tan skin and thick dark hair that fell around his face in gentle waves. His hair was silky and black and I felt the sudden desire to run my fingers through it, pushing it out of his eyes. His eyes interrupted my sudden unwanted thoughts. They were icy blue, so vibrant and watchful of me, taking in my everymovement. Like before I felt naked in front of him, like he knew everything about me...and my deepest darkest secrets. I swallowed and took in his beautifully strong body, clad mostly in dark jeans and a white T-shirt.

No, I groaned. He was the same black wolf who had saved me. As this Alpha faced me across the class room, I knew he knew who I was. I shook myself and quickly walked out of the room, partly annoyed that he had such an effect on me, partly in shock that the wolf who had saved me had suddenly entered my life again.

I wasn't going to escape from his uneasy presence so easily this time.
