(Noah's POV)

The sound of an alarm fills my room. I turn over towards my phone laying next to me on my bed clicking the stop button on the screen. "Shit... I must've fallen asleep while playing on my phone again," I think out loud.

A knock is heard at his door. "Noah are you up yet? School starts in one hour and thirty minutes and since you insist on walking you've got half that!" my sister Katelyn yells.

"I know, I'm up," I yell back getting up and grabbing a pair of black jeans and throwing my favorite green hoodie over the shirt I slept in. "I'll be ready in a few minutes!"

"You'd better be!" her footsteps can be heard retreating down the hallway into the kitchen as I lace up my black and white converse. I then attempt to tame my wild brown hair failing miserably. Grabbing my backpack and phone I then leave my room and head into the kitchen to grab a quick breakfast, i hope I beat my brother in here, so I can leave before I see him. I just don't feel like being insulted by him this morning. Standing on my toes and reach up into the cabinet to grab the box of pop tarts. I feel around until my hand brushes some kind of box. Pulling it out it happens to be the box I was looking for, so I grab a pop tart pack and walk out of my house without saying goodbye to either of my siblings or father, who probably wasn't even home anyway.

Walking along the path next to the woods I put my ear buds in letting out a sigh of content. I just love the route to school it's just so peaceful to be surrounded by nature. After a while of walking, I feel something watching me, so I turn towards the woods. I don't see anything so I just put my ear buds in and hide my face behind my bangs like I do at school. I keep walking but I still have that feeling of being watched, I try to ignore it but it doesn't work. So I turn again in time to see a blur dart into the woods. I figure it's just a deer and continue walking to the school now coming into the distance, not noticing the pair of red eyes watching me from the woods.

At school I dodge as many people as possible hoping to avoid my bully Alex, aka my brother. I must have made better time than I thought because it seems I make it to my best friend Sophie's locker without being shoved into the wall by Alex. "Oh, hey Noah!" Sophie greets me.

"Hey Sophie, hows it going so far?"

"No complaints yet!" she smiles at me.

"Hey dumbass I didn't see you this morning, you been avoiding me?" says Alex, pushing me into the locker beside Sophie's.

"N-No w-why would you think that?" I say trying not to let my fear show but fail.

"I just said that I haven't seen you!" he punches my gut and walks off, "See ya loser"

"Noah are you ok?" Sophie helps me back on my feet, helping to brush me off.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine... can't say the same for my pop tart though," I sigh pulling out the crumbled up wrapper, "Guess I'm not eating breakfast... again." While throwing away the pop tart the bell rings for the first period of the day.

"Well I'll see you later," Sophie waves as she walks to her class.

"Yeah bye..."

-Time skip to the end of the day-

I walk out of the school as the bell rings trying to leave before Alex can find me then everything might turn out ok. "Hey dumbass!" Alex yells, pulling my behind the school slamming me into the brick wall. "Where do you think you're going, huh?"

"H-home"

He pulls out his dark gray pocket knife opening it up he grins, "Not before we have some fun, now hold still, I wanna try something new and if you struggle I'll just cut you more, got it?"

"P-please don't," I start to tear up and in an attempt to escape I bite his arm trying to get him to let go.

"You little bitch! That fucking hurts!" he then punches me in the eye which slams my head into the wall and I then black out slumping in his hold. He drops my unconscious body unto the pavement. "Shit!" He runs to his car and drives home. Leaving me there, lying in a small puddle of the blood leaking out of my head.

-Time skip to around 8:04P.M.-

I groan awake and sit up holding the back of my head feeling a small amount of blood stick to my hand as I pull it away. I get up and put my hair over my black eye and my hood up to hide the wound on the back of my head as I start walking home in the dark under the moon. When I walk past the woods again I feel myself being watched once again but I ignore it not caring about anything but getting home to my nice, warm, comforting bed. While walking the wind starts to pick up blowing my hair out from over my bruised eye.

(Jordan's POV)

While running through the woods, I start to think about how I didn't see the cute boy with the freckles and green hoodie walk home today. It's been eating at me for the last 5 hours. 'I can normally watch him walk home after school. But I don't mean it in a creepy way! I just wanna make sure he gets home safely! That's all it is, I swear!' I'm pulled from my thoughts by the very boy I was thinking of. He was walking home with his hood up and hair in his face. I then follow him secretly trying to make sure he gets home. Suddenly the wind picks up and his hair blows out of the way and I see that since this morning he's gained a black eye. I restrain myself from going out to talk to him until his hood falls revealing a bloody wound on the back of his head. Seeing this, something in me snaps and my wolf scratches at the surface breaking free. I walk out of the woods eyes glowing a deep crimson, and growl. He instantly halts his movements and slowly turns. I can smell his fear when he lays eyes on me. I pick him up throwing him over my shoulder as he screams. "W-What are you doing?!" He screams.

"Taking what's mine!" Is all I say as I carry him off into the woods with him beating on my back trying to get free, but I don't even flinch as I carry off that which belongs to me.
