SECRET TAIL

CHAPTER ELEVEN

       The next day at lunch time, I let Jessica drag me to the table where her friends were sitting. 'Chloe these are my friends, the blonde haired dude over there is Tyler, then there is Andrew, Cain, Mitchell, Elizabeth and Constance. Everyone this is Chloe.' she introduced them to me while pointing at them.
         'Hello, nice to meet you.' I waved at them. 'Well aren't you a cute one, do you mind being my friend.' Tyler said while smiling at me as I took my seat. I was surprised and did not know how to reply back but before I could come up with something, Mitchell hit him at the back of his head while saying, 'That's just gross. Don't mind him we usually don't, he flirts with anybody wearing a skirt.'
        Everybody laughed while Tyler pouted and murmured something to himself which I could not hear. 'So Chloe, how come we never noticed someone like you before or are you new?' Andrew asked me.
      'No, I'm not new, have been attending this school since middle school. I should be the one asking you  how come you don't know me? We even have classes together, you are in the advance science courses right.' There was an awkward pause around the table when suddenly it was like Cain snapped, he knocked on the table as if to draw everyone from their daze and said, 'Let us stop beating around the bush and go straight to the point, who are you, to be precise what are you. How come we don't recognize your scent and why would you move into our territory without taking permission?'
          I was so shocked I did not know how to reply, this means they were supernaturals too and apparently this was their territory. I was not surprised about this information because although there were a lot of cool kids in the school that formed different cliques and rarely mingle with the rest of us, this lot always strutted about like they were the boss and the other kids respected them. It was like they were the uncrowned rulers of the school and this begged the question, what are they? Because the population of the cool kids were not much just a little bit in each grade and I tried to recall which supernatural creature in the books usually stayed in groups but there were too many for me to take a guess. 'I have no idea what you are asking me, I am Chloe, what else can I be. What are you then?'
       He growled under his breath like a dog and his eyes changed color from blue to light gold. I let out a gasp and prepared to bolt because he was looking at me like he wanted to pounce on me. 'That's enough Cain control yourself, we don't need you changing in the presence of humans. Let's just eat, we will settle this after school.' Jessica said and everybody obeyed her, I could feel the authority rolling off her in waves and they had no choice but to obey, Cain's head was even slightly bent in submission.

         When school closed, I told Katie and Jane to go home without me as I had another study session with Jessica, in my mind I was praying to overcome this ordeal and live to see another day. Me, Jessica and her friends stood at the edge of the parking lot away from prying eyes waiting for her brother. I could feel the tension in the air, it was so thick you could practically see it and cut it with a knife.
           A black car drove into the parking lot and we entered. I did not want to go with them but I guess I had no choice. We drove out of town and down a road I did not know existed. I could see different houses lining the street like a small community and at the end of the road was a large house with about five story buildings. The car stopped and I followed them into the house, we got to a door and they knocked, I heard a voice say 'Come in.' and it sent shivers down my spine. Before I could understand what I was feeling the door opened and I followed them into what looked like an office. Sitting on the chair was the hottest guy I had ever seen in my life and he stood up as we walked in and I could get a full view of him, he was very tall, had black hair and blue eyes. He tilted his head slightly as if he was smelling something when suddenly he looked towards us like he was struck by lightning.
          He started walking towards us and as he got closer, he bent down and inhaled my scent deeply before saying something that got me very confused and excited at the same time while he put his arms around me. 'Mate!'
        Jessica and her friends just stared at me in shock like I was a rare specimen and if I say I was not surprised at this turn of event well that would be a lie. I did my research on magical beings so I had read a thing or two about mates but I thought it would not be real.
       'Hold up one minute, what do you mean mate?' I asked him.  'Well this is a surprise, you are my brothers mate, I did not see that coming.' Jessica said. It was like my voice snapped them out of their trance and they all started letting out exclamation of shock.
        I pulled out of his arms and said, 'Can you all please explain what is going on because I don't even know you and you are acting like we are together. That is just weird.' 'This is my brother Jason, Jason this is Chloe the girl I told you about.' Jessica said.
        He looked at me with those deep eyes of his before saying, 'She is the one you can't figure out what she is. Well that's just good.' he looked at me stretches out his hand and said, 'I am Alpha Jason, alpha of the Ocean Moon pack. Nice to meet you.'
        While shaking his hand, I was stuck for a minute staring at his blue eyes like an idiot when it occurred to me he said pack and alpha like wolves. That means they are werewolves. "You guys are werewolves right." I stammered out with a shocked look on my face and they nodded their heads together. I looked from one to the other trying to see the wolves in them but apart from the mysterious air around them, I could see nothing special.
        "So what are you?" Asked Jessica. "Well I don't know if you will believe me."
