I Need To Protect Them

Chapter 2- School

           —Peter's ViewPoint—

"As I walk the school halls I see them all interacting with each other, I wish I could be part of their clique or play some type of role in their lives but they could care less about someone like me. A nobody, I mean I did kinda do it to myself though, the mating spell I can definitely say works, but I guess that can be expected.

I hate how I have to watch them from afar but I've been doing it for quite awhile now, so I've become used to it I guess. But that means it doesn't hurt any less when I see them flirting with girls, I've built a tolerance to jealousy, it's just something I have to get used to. One of the many things I have to go through alone.

No one really speaks to me here at school, I guess they think I'm weird but that's okay... I'm fine being alone, I've done it for sometime now. Why change? Just to be judged? No thanks.

—Lukes' POV—
The constant strain I feel makes me restless, I can feel someone's eyes on me. Who? My friends have said that they feel it as well, but we've come to the conclusion that it's probably some young girl with a crush. That's fine, I wonder if she's cute? I really want to find my mate soon, I can't wait until I find the one whom my soul has been intertwined with, they'll be perfect no matter what. I'll protect her and love her unconditionally, forever and always.

I turn 18 in a few days (3 to be exact). I'll find my mate then, I can't wait!

My friends (David, Nathaniel, Lucien and Lycancie) and I have always been together, we're like brothers. I mean we do all share the same birthday, its awesome we always have a huge celebration each year and this year is going to be even bigger considering it's our 18th birthdays and we are meant to find our mates soon after it, we're all extremely excited for it and can't wait for the day to arrive.

The fact that my friends and I were all born on the same day is extremely rare within packs, usually it'll be like one of two that are born on the same day excluding twins but this time it happened with 5 of us, twins included which makes it even rarer. Our bonds are so close that we are pretty much considered brothers even though we all have different parents, but once we each have our mates I'm kind of nervous that we won't all get to spend time together anymore. That's what makes me wish our birthdays were a little bit further away but I have a feeling that these days will go quickly even if I don't want them to.

—Peters' POV—

As the days quickly pass by, I know that the spells' effect on my mates is fading with each day. I need more time, I want more time.

They've started sensing my presence when I'm at school, but I'm suppressing it as much as I can. Once they find me even the seals within my body will start to weaken considerably, people will start to find out about me. I'm worried that they'll be scared of me, I'm scared.

My pull towards them is getting stronger and stronger each passing moment, sometimes Lucien or Luke will catch me staring at them. I guess it's a given considering I share most of my classes with them two whereas the others have different classes than me besides gym class, I actually requested to Principal Evergrave to be able change in a private bathroom because I didn't want to get changed with them. I was scared they'd find me gross for staring at them for too long, but I can't help it knowing that they're my mates and I love them all unconditionally no matter what.

As school come to an end today, I quickly made my way home to be able to just settle down and relax, as I lay on my bed considering what's going to happen to all of us within the next few days is starting to make me itch with excitement and worry. I wonder if they'll reject me? If they did I don't think I'd be able to control my emotions and I would just concave into an emotional ball. I'm so worried that they're going to be disappointed once they find out who I'am, I've noticed changes in all of their behaviours recently as well they've started becoming aware of me and I've caught them staring at me with curiosity as if I've just started at the high school. I Guess my spells worked a little too well, but I mean I'm thankful for them starting to wonder about me. It kind of makes me feel somewhat special, like I matter for once but I did that to myself. As I'm thinking about everything I start to drift off towards the sleep that's been calling my name, I'm so exhausted from school today so I slowly sink into the blackness. Welcoming the escape from reality.

Lana Evergrave-Principal

Sitting in my office after school is so amazing, I've been on my feet all day. Teaching the school practical magic training class is so exhausting, Peters' gifts are becoming more and more prevalent as his mates are getting closer to their birthday. Him hiding what he can do is not going to last for much longer, everyone is going to find out. I'm worried about him being taken by the government, I can't let my student be discovered by them especially after he finds his mates he'll need to be with them. They can finally be with him, I'm so excited for them and Peter to be together with their soulmates. It's going to be an interesting birthday that's for sure.

Peter has already said that he won't be attending the party they're all holding because when they finally sense him and his aura I'm sure they'll be confused as to why he is more powerful than them. It's extremely rare for the more submissive personality within the relationship to be stronger than the dominate, but it's nothing that they won't be able to overcome together.

They're combined strength once fully mated will be interesting to see as once that happens some of Peters' strength will be channeled straight through all of them, I think they'll be a force to be reckoned with. I'll definitely need to handle it accordingly once that happens and make sure that they properly know how to control their newfound strength.
