New Blood

Fight

Jake

Blue on his lap nearly drove me insane. I wanted to rip his heart out so bad. He smirked at me. I could see Blue blush redden as he tightened his grip on her lap. She was talking and laughing with Bre as the vamp and I glared at each other. He rested his head on her shoulder. I snarled. Was that a threat? He was practically stating that he could suck her dry right then and there.

The entire pack felt my alarm through the link.

I quickly blocked them out, but not before everyone in the room stared at Alex and Blue.

After a minute, Blue looked up and noticed the stares. She froze and tried to make herself small. Alex stared evenly at every pair of eyes on him until one by one, they looked away.

Bre patted Blue’s hand. The announcements came on.

“HELLLLOOOOOOOO, Wolves!”

I flinched, realizing the speaker was right over me.

“Today is October 20th, and it’s an A day.”

I tuned out Drake’s annoying voice, focusing instead on Blue. She was smiling as she talked to Bre. Alex put his head back on her shoulder.

Why was I jealous? I don’t even want a mate. I’m being ridiculous.

 A rippling growl sounded in my head.

‘Don’t you dare fucking talk about her like that. She is our mate.’ My wolf reprimanded. ‘Neither of us could live without her any you know that.’ I could feel him angrily lashing his tail, guard hairs bristling. ‘She is beautiful and pure. The moment we claim her, she is ours and won’t be around that leech anymore.’

I had to agree with him. Blue was skinny, beautiful, and smart. She was the perfect girl.

I sniffed the air slightly. I could smell blood from- her wrists?

My eyes widened.

NO! Blue, my mate, she cuts? Why?

I was sure Alex knew too- he would defiantly exploit her for her blood given the chance.

I opened my mind to the pack link.

‘Blue, the new student at our school, is to be treated with dignity and respect. She is under our protection. If anyone so much as lays a hand on her, a severe punishment will ensue.’

‘Yes, Alpha.’ The pack chorused as one.

Bre looked over at me. Her eyes were wide with recognition.

‘She’s your mate? The one of the prophecy?’
