The Not So Perfect School For Perfect Children (#Wattys2016)

Off With The Faeries

Chapter 18

Dillon's POV

It's 2 in the morning, why is my phone ringing? I look at the caller I.D. and it's my father's private number that he only uses for emergencies, I jerk myself awake, making sure I have full attention for what comes next.

"Father?"

"Son, I have been in the archives searching for anything that you describe but there seems to be only one thing in all of our recorded history that it even comes close to."

I take a deep breath, inhaling the information and trying to stay calm. "What is it?" 'Is there something wrong with me?' hangs silently in the air.

"In 1706, the Luna of our Pack, Mesmerila, was presumed missing after a battle due to her body not being found, however, after years passing the Pack feared the worst, her death. The Alpha, however, was sure that she was still alive as his wolf had not gone wild so he stepped from his duties in search of his mate."

He pauses, letting it sink in.

I frown. "I don't understand."

"There is more, the Alpha aquired the help of a witch, whom also seemed to believe the Luna was still alive."

He pauses again and it worries me, what happened, why is he telling me this?

"There is nothing of the two until 1874 when the witch is questioned by a young wolf searching for his mate, unfortunately his had indeed passed and his wolf was wild so he killed her. Her diary was recovered, however and it stated that the Luna was indeed alive but trapped in the faerie plane which is why the Alpha's wolf did not become wild. They found her and learned that she had been able to see him but he was unable to see her, just like humans cannot see faeries on the otherside unless they have the Sight. She was like a ghost, trapped between two worlds. The witch also stated that if she had projected an image onto the Luna's ghostlike form, the Alpha would have been able to feel her but it would be a severed connection. Half as strong, if you will, because it would only be half connection as she was not all there. I do not know if this is exactly what happened to your mate son but it's all that comes close, meaning she has a strong chance of being your mate but she will have  secrets son, be careful."

I just stare at the wall, in shock and i can't help thinking, why does this always happen to me?

"Son? Are you there?" My father sounds hesitant and worried but he also deepens his voice because as my Alpha I must answer, he's possibly regretting telling me what he found.

"Yes Alpha, I am just overwhelmed." I can't help but wonder why a human would be in contact with the faeries, unless she isn't human at all. 

"Don't let your thoughts cloud your judgement, she may not know that she is trapped, she might think she's dead or someone might not want her to know at all. If of course, she is your mate." He pauses to sigh, a sorrowful sigh most likely aimed at me. "I'm sorry this wasn't the news you were after son, but there are positives to this, just remember that."

He hangs up, not giving me time to thank him for his efforts and as always he never said goodbye, which I didn't mind but it made my wolf anxious, he could never understand it.

I lay down on my bed but I'm to awake to think and my wolf is too restless, so I get up, put on some loose clothes before running towards the forrest. I find a hollow trunk to place my clothes and I shift, I feel stronger already, just my base instincts to guide me, shielding me from my thoughts. My wolf is troubled though but we shake our head and run.

Running always helps.

Nicola's POV

I don't like that new girl and preparations for tomorrow are behind schedule because that stupid she-wolf, she seems to think that her ideas are valid. She seems to think that she can be an Alpha, HA, she is nothing and when I'm finished with her, the pathetic little mutt will beg for death.

Back to the new girl.

I hate her. She will be one of the first to go when my plan goes through, I will rule, I will be worshipped and feared throughout all lands here. That will teach my stupid father for punishing me, it wasn't even my fault, it was my mistake to trust my family and I have learned my lesson.

I hate them all.

They will all kneel.

'Snap'. I turn towards the sound. It's the Alpha returning from his run, I wonder how he will react if I told him it was his last day on Earth.

Mallaurie's POV

I'm walking with my head down, I'm more depressed than usual today, which makes it even harder when I see him, I want to go to my room and cry. He's talking to Jake, something makes him smile and I flinch, seeing him smiling makes me want to but I know that I can't.

I keep my head down.

I'm not interested. I'm not interested. I'm not interested. I want to kiss his soft pink lips and make him happy and. Stop. Stop it Mallaurie. You're not interested.

Suddenly I'm pulled out of my trance, literally, I've been pulled into a closet, by Dillon. This is a small closet.

Oh look that bucket and draws are soooo interesting...

He's staring at me.

"Why did you drag me in here?" I'm a little shaky but I'll survive.

"You're not human are you love." It was a statement not a question and I gulp. My heart rate has also increased dramatically in the last few seconds.

Wait did he just call me love?

"What else would I be?" I don't think acting dumb is going to work by the look on his face.

"You're all mine love, I'm sure of it and I can't wait any longer." His beautiful brown eyes stare into mine as he leans in close to me, our lips almost touch and I make the final jump. I don't care any more, I just have to do it and I don't regret it. Only small sparks fly but it's still the most amazing feeling I have ever felt, his hands reach my waist and he stops, so he's a gentlemen, he's rubbing my sides, it feels heavenly.

We break apart and I miss it already because all my doubts, worries and fears are returning to crush my hope.

"Don't worry love, there's plenty more where that came from." He's smirking at me and it's delicious, he kisses me again but lighter and less hungry before opening the door for me.

I walk down the hall and then I'm turned, Dillon is kissing me again, in front of everyone.

He breaks apart, giving a smug grin and then I turn to see a very worried Jack.

Reality has smacked me in the face.

Oh no. What have I done?
