I woke up the next morning stiff and sore, I sat up groaning and rubbing my face. I looked over at my bedside tale to see the time. I smiled as I saw the glass of water with the two painkillers.
"Thanks Bella." I murmured to myself as I downed the water and pills quickly. I put on extra perfume to mask my wolf scent. I grabbed sweatpants and a sweat jacket to cover my bruises from James trying to hold me down. I tossed my curly hair into a pony tail and put on light makeup to cover the dark circles under my eyes.
I ran out to my car that my dad picked up last night and started for school. I probably sat in the parking lot for a good ten minutes before I reluctantly got out. Once I got through the front door the whole school swarmed me at once. People I didn't even know or cared for asked if I was ok.
Apparently everyone knew about James cheating on me and then the crash and then me going missing for the night. It wasn't until Lacy found me that I was able to get out of the croud.
"You bitch why haven't you been answering me calls, where have you been!?!?!?" Lacy practically shouted in my face.
"Nice to see you too Lace." I say sarcastically while rolling my eyes. She gave me a death glare until I told her about James cheating on me, the crash, then us getting "separated". By the time I was done tears were at the brim of her eyes.
"You could of died." She choked as a tear rolled down her cheek. It was weird to see Lacy like this, she never cried, ever. She opened her arms and I ran into them without hesitation.
the day went agonizingly slow, I purposelly avoided James so I didn't see him all day, thank god. Finally last period, I thought to myself. I ran to the music room and sat in the back this time so I didn't have to feel everyone stare at me. It was like they were waiting for me to snap and break.
Only if they knew I already did and I ended up turning into a wolf. I chuckled to myself, I actually chuckled. I must be going insane. I looked up to the front of the classroom to see Tristan walk in and all his glory. His blue eyes captured mine as he stared at me.
I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. I was fidgeting in my seat as I had a strong urge to run over to him. He walked to the back of the class near me and sat in the seat next to me. Mr. Oval, the music teacher, walked in and the class began. I wasn't focusing at all, all I could think about was how delicious Tristan smells.
"Scarlet!" I jumped at Mr. Oval's voice. "are you with us today Miss Brooks?"
"Ummmm sorry, didn't sleep well." That wasn't a complete lie. Mr. Oval ignore my response and continued with the lesson.
I sighed with relief when the bell rang signalling the end of class. I grabbed my stuff and was about to leave when Tristan grabs my hand.
"Hey, so I heard what happened, are you okay?" I could see sincere concern as he stepped closer to me. My breath hithced in my throat as he caressed my face with his hand.
"I-I...I'm fine." I said breathlessly. He was so much taller then me it took a couple of seconds for him to inch closer to my liips. His arm found my waist as he pulled me closer, his smell was all around me and it had me weak at the knees.
"Scarlet?" I gasped and jumped out of Tristan's arms. Lacy was standing in the doorway with her mouth opened in shock. I could hear a growl come from Tristans chest that had me shivering in pleasure before he stormed out of the room without another word.
It was hard to explain what had just happened but I had managed to make Lacy think it was nothing and I finally went home, exhausted. I pulled up into my drive way surprised to see a black truck in front of my house. It smelled strongly of wolf, must be one of my sisters friends.
I walk into the house and I'm confused when I find it empty. I guess they went out for a run. I run upstairs to start on a new book that I got. I screamed in shock when I saw a tall dark man standing by the window.
"Scar it's me, calm down." I squinted my eyes to see him better, it can't be. I flipped on my light switch to find it true. Tristan Black was in my room.
"What are you doing here???!!" I whisper yelled at him, don't ask me why it just felt appropriate.
"We need to talk, it's important."
"How can it be? I barely know you Tristan!"
"Do you know anything about mates? Like a wolfs bond mate?" he asks me intently.
"Y-Yes." I replied hesitatnly. Why is he bringing this up right now?
"Scarlet," he said calmly while walking over to me. "I'm your mate."
"No, tha-that's impossible I'm human." I lied.
"It's happened before I can assure you." By now he had my back against the wall. He was coming closer and closer. He grabbed my waist and stepped into me. I put my hands on his chest my breathing speeding up. I could feel his muscles under my hands.
His breath fanned across my face. He inched his lips closer to mine and this time we had no one to stop us. He pressed his lips softly against mine for just a second before he pulled away to look at me. My whole body was tingling with desire I needed more. I wound my hands in his hair bringing his lips back to mine.
I groaned as he kissed me harder. He liked my bottom lip asking for entrance, I opened gladly. He massaged his tongue with mine and I moaned into his mouth. My legs started to feel weak so he picked me up and wrapped my legs around hsi waist.
He broke the kiss as I gasped for breath. Oh god what am I doing, I just met him, but it feels so good. He started to kiss down my neck. I could feel his erection pressing into my core and the pressure of him had me moaning in need. I started to grind against him, getting myself off because he was so big. It was also turning him on by his groans as he rocked his hips against mine.
Pleasure was coarsing through my body as we grinded harder. Are harsh breathing mixed with our urgent kisses. I could feel myself close to my orgasm, he was getting me there and I loved it.
"Do you except me as your mate?" He groaned into my neck. I nodded vigoriously, gasping, wriggling on his lap. "Mine," he growled right before he sank his teeth into my neck. I screamed in pleasure as I finally reached my climax. My shaking body and my screams of pleasure made him finish too as he licked up his mark.
We sat there panting, catching our breaths. What did I just agree to? I asked myself. This can't happen, people can't know. I felt tears beginning to form in my eyes.
"Babygirl what's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"Please put me down." I whispered. He set me down gently. I ran for the door the instant he let go of me.
"Scarlet wait, what's wrong!?!"
"Please, just leave me alone!" I shout as I run outside and to the forest. I ran for about a mile until I realized he hadn't followed me. I was grateful he was giving me some time. I sat down on a rock as a dull ache was starting in my stomach. Damn, I forgot to eat again. After a while the ache was getting worse and spreading down to my core.
"Fuck," I muttered as I squirmed on the forest floor. How could I forget that once a women accepts their mate they go into heat right afterwards. My core was burning and throbbing with need. If Tristan doesn't find me soon I could die here. I whimpered as the need increased.
Next to me the bushes rustled as someone stepped through. I panicked, they could rape me, like James.
"Scarlet." I heard his deep gruffy voice and I whimpered.
"Tri-Tristan?"
"I'm here baby girl." He says huskily, his eyes were black as coal as he watched me squirm in need.
"Pl-please, it hurts Tristan." He stood over me and then picked me up. I buried my face into his neck and took deep breaths. I lightly kissed his neck and I felt him shiver as he carried me back to the house.
