I could already feel Cole pushing against me, trying to shift in front of all of the students. I stumbled into Asher, who had pulled me off of Jacob, and was now pulling me through the throng of students. I was doubled over, trying to fight off Cole, when he pulled us into a bathroom. I fell to the floor as he checked to make sure we were alone.
When he came back and touched my shoulder I growled at him. I spasmed in pain, trying to fight off my shift for the third time today.
“Warren, you can’t do this now, okay? You can shift later and your wolf can run free, but not right now.” Asher said to me. I was able to pull myself together, and I registered the fact he thought I was a wolf.
We’re so fucked, I told Cole.
I am no wolf, but he wouldn’t reject us, he responded.
I shuddered before cautiously standing up. I leaned onto the sink as I looked at my blood spattered face. “Fuck!” I said as I smashed my fist into the wall. All I could think about was how Jenny would react. She wouldn’t return me to the agency, she’d probably just kick me out.
I rinsed off the blood from my face and quickly cleaned my dark blonde hair as blood now matted it. “You can leave you know. They'll be calling me into the office in a minute anyways.” I mumbled to Asher. He just kind of nodded and stumbled out of the bathroom. Not too long after I finally got called to the office.
After a discussion with the principal, I was dismissed to class with the promise of detention for two weeks, which starts tomorrow, and the only reason I didn't get suspended was because I didn't throw the first punch.
After making a point of ignoring Asher and avoiding him all day, even though most of our classes after lunch were shared, I was finally walking home. Alone. With only the blissful silence to accompany me. I started thinking about what would happen when I got home. Surely she wouldn't kick me out, right?
“Warren! I ask one thing of you and you still got into a fight!?” Jenny exclaims when we're sitting in the living room together after I came inside.
“It's not my fault! I mean it is, but he deserved it!” I rushed to say.
“What happened?” she asked, she sounded dangerously mad and I was terrified.
“This group of guys came up to me and some of other kids and insulted them and I pissed him off and he punched me and so I kind of beat him, maybe?” I say all at once. She asked me more in depth questions about what was said why he went after us, and after trying to answer her as best I could, she wasn't that mad.
“I'm not supposed to tell you this, but I'm glad that it was for a genuinely good reason. I definitely shouldn't tell you this, but I used to get into fights with people like that when I was in high school. But, don't tell anyone that. I expect your officer to come check on you soon, but don't worry I'll sort that out.”
“Thank you.” I murmured before going upstairs.
The days events were playing through my head, as I showered, effectively getting the rest of the blood out of my hair and focused on the fact I'd have to avoid everyone I met today. I still couldn't figure out why Em's smell was so disorienting, I thought it was because she carried Asher's smell but I don't think that's the only reason. Not to mention avoiding Asher himself, he thought I was a wolf meaning he knew about shifters, but I could not figure out what he was.
He didn't smell human, but I also had no idea what he could be. His scent itself almost smelled of smoke, but I hadn't been around many shifters so I couldn't figure it out. But there was no way I could be with him, he thought I was a wolf! I mean, my type weren't loved by other shifters in general, but especially not wolves. They lived in packs, while I mean we are more of the lone wolf type. It's just our nature. I have to assume he's a wolf if he thought I was one. Why else would he? If he's a wolf he would assume that I would be one too since we were mates, even though he'd be wrong.
This worried me, but it only solidified my resolve; I had to avoid him at all costs.
