Sun and Moon Wolves

Chapter 5 I protect what is mine

"Um? Theo?" Theo hears the voice ask him. He was jolted back into the present. The omega seemed confused at first but then he saw Rachiëlla's face. He blinks a few times and his eyes went down to her hand and back to her face. Eyes widened and his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of sea gasping for breath as he thinks of something intelligent to say. The realization of what just happened struck his core like lighting. What just happened? As he tried to think of some kind of lie or excuse, he caught the scent of something foreign. It smelled completely different from her own.

Wait that's not right. Why is there another scent? Its faint but its there. The scent of a different wolf. He eyes her skeptically while holding on to her hand. Was she mated before? Is she mated now?

"Is something wrong? Are you okay?" She asks worriedly. She doesn't mind at all the fact that he grabbed her hand out of the blue like that?

"Rachiëlla," he half shouted, laughing forcefully and awkwardly. He looks at his hand again and abruptly released her hand. "What are you doing here?" he laughs nervously and Rachiëlla gestures to her surroundings and she frowned.

"Dude its school. You tell me. Your weird." She giggles.

"Am I now?" he asks as wry humor with a humorless smile. His heart begins to beat rapidly, and his breathing became heavy and difficult. He was almost shaking. Rachiëlla immediately caught on to his behavior and she reached for his arm, but refrain from touching him.

"Are you okay?" she asks worriedly and step forward.

"I'm fine. Totally fine. Super." He kept saying dumbly. He has no idea what to say and to make things worse the atmosphere took a drastic turn to awkward. Both stood face to face but neither spoke a word for a good long 3 minutes. 3 hours is more like it cause it sure as hell felt that way. Oh God. Theo hoped and prayed that if there's a god or deity out there, they would help break this awkwardness. And right on cue, as if someone heard his prayers, the bell rang. Saved by the bell as they say. He released a breath, that felt like he was holding forever, in relief. If someone told him, in the past, that he will be grateful to the bell and owe the damn thing a favor, he would have laughed in their face. But now he has never been so happy to hear that godawful, ear splitting, sound.

"Um I should probably go." He points to his bio class. And Rachiëlla nods and starts laughing nervously.

"Yeah, sure, I have class to go to myself. Well, see you at lunch?" She asks hopefully.

Theo sighs internally and replied...

"Sure, can't wait." He smiles.

For once that wasn't meant as sarcasm. Now there's a shocker. As he walks away his heart starts beating regularly. That's it, calm down. He sat in bio class already writing on the board. If I want this friendship to work, I cant just stand there looking at her like there's a bug stuck in her hair.

Rachiëlla walks into her class with bag in hand. Somewhat relieved to have gotten out of there. That was so awkward. But was he twitching? Yeah, his eyebrow was definitely twitching. Why did he, grabbed my hand like that though? She looks down at her wrist. It was weirdly still warm. Its like his touch had been burn into her memory. She blushed hard because, what the hell? Her phone start buzzing out of control. Her first guess was it might be text messages. And she was right. It a was text message from Tanner.

Tanner: [ Need to talk to you. Meet me at lunch.]

"Huh? Talk about what?" A voice scared her back to reality when she looks at the teacher. She almost threw the phone up in the air.

"Are you following, Miss Hale?" the teacher asks the alpha.

"Perfectly fine. I'm sorry." She apologizes.
