First Day Back

Blake's POV

Ever wonder what it's like to lose your parents? Have you ever thought about ruling something you never wanted to be a part of? No? I didn't think so. Well, that's my life at the moment. All my fears have come true. I'm lost and scared, but there's nothing I can do about it. I lost my parents over the summer. They went away for a war we had with Rogues. They wanted our land, they wanted our people and they wanted more power.
When my parents lost the war, the Rogues didn't know me and my brother existed. They thought if they could kill my parents, they would have the power and our pack. Unfortunately, my brother and I had to step up and rule. The Rogues have been trying to track us down ever since. Luckily they haven't found us just yet, but when they do hopefully my brother and I and our pack will be prepared...for war.

Blake's POV

Sleep hasn't been my friend lately. I stay up all hours of the night thinking about my parents and what would happen if the war came. With many thoughts running through my head, I turn to look at the clock.

"Shit," I say to myself as I rub the sleep out of my eyes. It's already 6:30 am and I have not slept.

Today is the first day of my senior year at Richwood High, so the thought of being bing a senior kind of made me excited. Tho I was tired, I got up and got dressed. Today I was going to wear my red crop-top hoodie, ripped black jeans, and my red Converse. I walked over to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and put my hair in a high ponytail. With a double check in the mirror, I was satisfied with my look.
As I was walking downstairs, I could hear my brother Jayden yelling at the stove to turn on. Finally walking into the kitchen and I help help but laugh. My brother was trying to cook pancakes, but flower and the pancake mix was everywhere.

"Are you just going to stand their and laugh, or are you going to help?" my brother asked in frustration.

"Not sure yet. Give me a sec." I said between laughs. I could tell my brother rolled his eyes at me.

"Fine, I'll help. You go get dressed and I'll make the pancakes" With that said, my brother was gone in a blink of an eye.

After breakfast, we got in brothers 2016 Corvette and drove to school. We don't live that far, but we drive just for the fun of it. As we got closer, I could feel my wolf getting excited. There's only one reason she starts to get excited as we get closer, and that reason is Clover. My wolf and I have had a crush on Clover since 8th grade. I don't fully understand why. I have never talked to her and she's never talked to me. On that thought, I don't think shes ever noticed me. But my wolf didn't care. Everyone time we see her my heart jumps. With thinking about Clover, we pulled up in the driveway and parked in our normal parking spot. Staring at the school I sighed and looked down remembering my mom and dad worked here. I felt eyes on me so I turned to look at my brother with a saddened face.

"It's okay," I said and my brother gave me a smile then got out of the car.

Walking up to school my heart kept sinking. I kept thinking about my parents and how we all would walk in together.

"It's different. I know." My brother said with a straight face. I could tell he was hurting, but he was hiding it well. As we walked in we were greeted by many students. My brother's football friends were cheering us on trying to make us feel better. I looked up at my brother and he had the biggest smile on his face which of course, made me smile. Getting out of the crowd my brother was still by my side. We had to walk up to the office to sign some papers, as we were walking I felt my wolf howl. Looking up, I saw the beautiful Clover with a giant smile on her face holding her boyfriend's hand.

"Blake! Jayden!" Wyatt said as he let go of Clover's hand and ran over to my brother to give him a hug. "Hey!" My brother said as he pats Wyatt's back. "Dude," Wyatt said as he looked at my brother. From what I saw, Wyatt looked sad. He knew my parents. He and my brother met freshmen year.

"Are you okay? I heard what happened and I'm completely lost as well. I'm so sorry man." Wyatt said in a low voice.

"Yeah. It's been hard on us, but I think we're okay." Said my brother as he looked at me. Wyatt looked at me also and have me a hug. As he stepped away Clover and I made eye contact and she flashed me a small smile. With that, I smiled back and looked down.

"Uhh. We gotta go. We have to sign some papers for Mr. Carwell." My brother said as he put his hand on my shoulder.

"All right man. If you need anything I'm here. Blake, if you don't want to talk to me this is my girlfriend Clover. I'm sure she'll be glad to talk." With that, I looked up at Clover and said Thanks.

We walked over to Mrs. Carerlls classroom, sighed the school's papers, and got our school schedules. My first class was history and my brothers were Math. As we walked out of the class to go to our classes, my brother stopped in his tracks. I don't turn around but I could hear his wolf howling like crazy. I knew that crazy howl. It was the howl my wolf made every time I saw Clover. I looked to my right to see a gorgeous girl with red hair looking lost. I knew right away that she was Alex. The new girl. *Go help her* I told my brother through our mind link. *What's her name?* He asked. *Alex.* With that, he jogged to her and asked if she needed help and of course, she said yes. I smiled and started to walk towards my history class. As I was walking to class I heard a voice behind me calling my name. I didn't know that voice, but for some reason, I got butterflies in my stomach. I stopped and turned around and to my surprise, Clover was jogging towards me. My wolf was going crazy with every footstep she took. She finally came up to me and said "Hey! Do you have History first?" I was in shock, I didn't know what to say, I was standing them with my mouth open trying to say something, but no words came out. "Are you okay?" Her voice was like music to my ears. I finally took a deep breath and spoke. "Yeah. I was heading their now." I said trying to be confident. "Mind if I walk with you?" She asked. "No, at all," I stated quite clearly. With that, she was walking by my side.

"You're Blake right?" She asked trying to clear the awkward silence.

"Yeah. Blake Wild. Clover right?" I replied.

"Yeah. Clover Miller. It's nice to meet you, Blake. I've seen you around. I even remember you from elementary school!" She said with a laugh "but I never got the chance to talk to you."

"I remember you too." I laughed. I was getting nervous and I'm pretty sure she could tell.

"I'm sorry about your parents. I'm not sure how you feel, but I'm here for you." She said in the most calming voice I have ever heard.

Hearing her talk was melting my heart. She had the most calming voice and was easy to talk to. "Thank you. Means a lot coming from you." Shit! Why did I say that?

She laughed. "What's that suppose to mean?" She asked tilting her head to besides.
"Uhh, N-nothing! I ju- I just always had a feeling you hated me, but I guess I thought wrong." I answered honestly.

As she was about to say something my best friend Chris came running into my arms. I almost fell, but my wolf strength was able to keep me up. Chris has been my friend for as long as I can remember. Our parents were friends since high school, tho his parents aren't werewolves, his family knew about us, knew about me and my brother. When I was 12, I started shifting. He saw my strength and power so he asked if he could become one of us. Once he did, he became the best fighters we had. He didn't go to war with my parents cause he was too young. Thank god he didn't. I wouldn't live if he was dead too. After my parents died I disappeared so he hasn't seen me for a few months. Chris stayed with my brother, trying to find our pack.

"Where have you been!" Chris said. It sounded more like a statement than a question.

"I'm sorry. I had to leave and clear my head. Deal with the loss by myself." Was all I said. Chris nodded. He knew not to bring up my parents or ask further questions.

"Come on. We have History together." With that, he wrapped his arm around my neck and guided me into the class.

The class was boring as always. Our teacher, Mr. Bradley, just introduced himself and gave the students a paper that asked to describe ourselves. Once I finished I looked to see where Clover was sitting. She was sitting in the back with her friends, Kate, Jamie, and Bri. When the bell rang it snapped me out of my daze so I just packed my stuff and walked out with Chris.
