The bite

chapter 5

Michelles POV.

Mate? The word had so many meanings yet only one mattered most to me. I had a mate... a werewolf. I belonged to him and he belonged to me. We were the perfect match. I-i guess you could say I even loved him. I knew somthing was special about him.... the electric current when our skin touched, I craved his presence. Getting up out of bed I took a quick shower. I put on some grey skinnies, hot pink tank, black sneakrrs and I put my damp blonde hair in a messy bun. I apply lip gloss and some mascara. I grabbed my book bag and ran down the stairs out to the bus stop. The fresh warm air gently blows against my face. I feel a hand grab my shoulder and spin me around. I let out a terrified squeal.

"Mich! Calm down its just me.... nick" nick says grinning.

"Wha- what do you want."

"How are you?"

"Uhhmm good."

"That's good.... your coming to a party tonight." He says grinning still.

"Since when? Why do you want me to go with you???"

"Since now."

"Do I have a choice?!?" I ask giving up. He would only beat me if I said no. I cringed at the thought.

"Nope."

"Fiiine... where is it at?"

"My place. Wear somthing pretty kay? I'll pick you up say ten-ish?"

"If you have a car then why take the bus?"

"Gas money" he says shrugging. Great I was going with an idiot to a party.... what was alex going to say about it?!? I wont tell him... he'd kill nick if he found out that he's the one hurting me. I couldnt live with that knowing I caused someones death even if it is nick. I mean it is just one party right? Its not like I'm doing anything wrong. I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong yet inside I felt like I was commiting a crime.

(After school)

Avoiding nick as much as possible I ran home. I havnt seen alex all day... future alpha duties I guess. I run inside my bedroom without saying hi to my older brother or parents. Slamming my door shut I hop into the shower and let the hot water droplets spray me. I stay there like that untill steam rises from my reddend skin. Stepping out of the shower I wrapped a towel around myself and shut the water off. What should I wear to the party? Hmm black skinnies? Nah how about my denim skinnies and.... a cute pair of sandals with a purple loose, tank top. I put some black liquid eyeliner on and some lipgloss. Why am I doing this?? I should stay home.... I mentally smacked myself. Remember! He will beat you again if you don't. One more punch to the stomach and I think I'll explode..... I fought with myself for an hour before hearing a car honk from outside. I gulped and took a deep breath. You can do this michelle. Your not doing anything wrong right?. Right??? I ran downstairs.

"Mom! Dad! I'm going out!" I shouted to whomever was listening. Theyre both probably drunk once again.... a sleek black mustang sits in my driveway.

"Nick?!" I call as I see the car window being rolled down.

"Hop in the passengers side, mich." Nick calls from the window. I take deep breaths. In and out, in and out. You can do this its only one party. I hear the car doors unlock as I reach for the door. Aittinf next to nik I sit still and try to avoid any eye contact.

"So you excited for your first party ever?" Nick asks me.

"Yep. Sooo how many people are gonna be there?" Nick grins

" a little over a hundred... maybe two hundred." I gasp.

"Why did you invite me to this anyways??" Nick shrugs and turns to me.

"Dunno. I wanted to see if your a party animal. Anyways..... you gonna get drunk?" Scrunching up my nose I replied disgustedly.

"Hell no. I'm staying away from that stuff as much as possible.

"I'm sure I can convince you to drink a little."

"Peer presure?" Nick shrugs.

"Maybe.... I have my ways." He says smiling evilly. What does he mean?? He wont be able to convince me. I wont go near that repulsive substance. Not after seeing what it does to my parents. I hear hangovers suck too.

"Home sweet home." Nick says parking into the driveway and getting out of the car. Why am I doing this. I ask myself over and over again in my head. I see many people outside and inside. The music is turned up so loud it sends vibrations through my body. Just like alex's howls when he first shifted. I shook my hwad clearing my head of any other thoughts as we walked in. Nicks house was huge!!

"Yo nick!"

"Ayyyeee nick!!"

"Nice party bruh!!" I hear some people shout. Nick ignores them only smiling. He leads meto the kitchen.

"Thirsty?" He asks getting me a cup full of what looked like fruit punch. I shake my head. It could be drugged for all I know! I push the cup away slowly.

"No alcohol or anything. Just plain fruit punch! Lighten up a bit." I sniff the drink. Smells fine to me. Doesn't smell like alcohol yet it could still be drugged.

"Drink!" Nick snaps. I hesitate. Finally I take a small sip of the drink. Yum! Taste fine no alcohol.

"It taste good." I say forcing a smile.

"Good. Come on lemme introduce you to some of my friends." Nick says wrapping his arm around my waist pulling me through the crowd. I slowly escape from his grip. It felt wrong with him touching me. I didn't like it one bit! He looked at me but shrugged it off. Why is he being so weird... this is not the mick I know and hate.

"Yo nick!"

"Ayyeee nick who's the hotty?" Random people shout at us as we make our way through the crowd. Finally we come to a stop. Looking around I see have come to a dark shadowy corner away from everyone else. We were behind a shed.

"Okay I brought her." Nick murmers to whomever is there lurking in the shadows. I should have known this was going to be a trick. Now I'm probably going to be attacked maybe raped or somthing!

"What are you doing!!??" I screamed as nick grabbed me.

"Its her!!" Someone shouts from the shadows. It was a young males voice.... probably my age. I hear some shuffling before my assasians are finally revealed. I struggle and try to break free. There are five huge men standing in front of me. Nicks grip on my arms tighten probably leaving bruise .

"Give her to us." The biggest out of all five said.

"What are you going to do to me?" I whispered. The men grinned.

"Do you believe in werewolfs?" The biggest man asked. I shrugged.

"S" nick you wont be seeing her for awhile." One said grinning.

"Yeah she's comming with us." The youngest looking one says.

"What are you gonna do to her?" Nick asks. Since when have you cared!?!? Your the one giving me to them for no reason. I wanted to say that yet I stopped myself and stayed silent.

"For us to know. Kid get outta here you don't want any trouble from big guys like us."

"Bu-" nick tried to say before being pushed back. I was pulled away from his arms. Screaming at the top of my lungs I thrashed and kicked and even bit the man who carried me. He didn't move a muscle exept for putting his hand over my mouth and nose causing me to fade away to darkness......
