Sorry for deleting this chapter, I wasn't satisfied with it so some major changes are done in this one. 

___________________________________________________________

It was the first day of new school year and Robin was in the office collecting our schedules. Day before yesterday was my eighteenth birthday. Our pack had a small get-together party and our 'Luna' made me wear one of the dresses I was forced to buy with her. 

It was nothing exaggerate since I already received my Beta title at seventeen due to 'certain' circumstances. Well...... as much as I love power, now I get why Robin and Erwin used to complain about their position, it was the freaking workload. 

Now that I think about it I wouldn't have minded getting my position at eighteen itself, last few months have been hellish with all the papers piled up on my desk. Jessica had received her position at my last birthday, to be honest I actually started liking her a while ago......... not that I'm ever going to reveal that to her. She already has fun teasing me..........

As soon as we entered the double door an intoxicating aroma filled in my senses, chocolate, sandalwood and hints of sweat ............ something metallic? 

'Go! Mate! Follow' my usually lazy wolf was wagging her tail happily.

"Selena!!!" Robin flicked the two timetable sheets infront of me .

"What?" I growled at my best friend. Jesse didn't came to school today as she had fever, for the first time I wish I wasn't alone with this love-sick over-concerned Alpha. She literally had to kick him out of their bedroom promising she was alright. 

Erwin stayed back to finish the extra paper-work today with my father (Former Beta) to assist him.

"Stop spacing out Beta girl! It's the first day!" Robin sigh.

"I think I smell my mate"  

Suddenly his expressions lit up like a light bulb "Finally! Jesse was complaining about not getting enough shopping time with you"

"I'm not gonna change my preferences just because I get a mate" I glared at him. Last time he guilt tricked me into going for shopping with Jesse........ something about poor lonely Luna, and my wolf readily agreed.

"We'll see that!............ Should I come along?" he asked with a hand still clinging to my shoulder.

"Nah! You'll scare him away with your overprotective big brother thing before I even get to speak with him" I firmly replied shrugging him off.

"Trust me Selena! An alpha who can't look me in the eye to claim you doesn't deserve you"

"How do you know it's an Alpha?" I smirked at him.

He rolled his eyes"Only an Alpha can handle you"

"Well........ then this will be quick! Let me reject him before I get attached! I don't wanna be a cute little luna and abandon my Beta position!" I grinned. I wasn't gonna get dazed because of the mating bond and sacrifices my power for a mate. Never!  I loved control of my own actions. I wasn't the one to receive orders, I gave them. 

I was about to follow the  scent when Robin pulled me back with a serious look on his face. I often liked to joke about this stuff with Erwin. It was a taboo to reject your mate, unless there was an abuse or some other dire factor involved.  Rejection could cause depression, regret and even death in severe cases, if the wolf was not strong enough to handle it.

"Are you serious?" Robin  gave me a stern look.

I chuckled "I wouldn't reject my mate for being an Alpha.........."- at least not instantly.  I hope he's a Beta like me. Then I could at least give an argument for not giving up my position.   Most she wolves got mates of same or higher position......... it wasn't impossible to get someone of low rank but it's usually considered an insult or incompatible match, to put it simply it's rare. 

Robin sighed but let me go. 

As I reached the third turn the scents intensified. My mate's sweet scent mixed with the metallic blood texture. 

My wolf was getting anxious as we came closer to the small commotion which had gathered in the middle of hallway. 

My eyes widened when I finally saw it,  two warriors holding my mate down, growling and beating him. Bullying was not uncommon in highschools.

When one of them aimed at his face, I couldn't control my thoughts or actions.

"Mine" Clara, my wolf growled, taking control for split of a minute. I hate when she did that without my permission but this time I couldn't blame her.

All of their eyes landed on me. I wasn't afraid to step up either.

One of the warriors smirked at that, the other one stepped back,

"Beta Selena " he looked down trembling at the amount of killing intent I was giving out.

He was of my pack, Trever, rank 2 warrior. I was sure he could feel the full extent of my wrath. 

"Are you seriously calling this chick Beta?" the first guy smirked. I was sure more than half of the crowd had moved away from me. Clara laughed 'he's ignoring his wolf's warning'

I heard a weak growl from my mate. His face had a few cuts, jaw blood covered and claw marks on his neck made my wolf wince in pain .................Although badly injured, I liked what I saw beneath the cuts and blood.

Ruffled brown hair, shining blue eyes. Not malnourished or extremely bulging but boyish lean frame, he was around 6'2 shorter than Robin but tall for my 5'8 height. 

In between all the chaos when my eyes met I gave him a smile, he returned a shy grin right back.

He is very............. 'handsome?' My wolf sighed 

   "So Ms Beta chick found her mate?" that disrespectful mocking voice ruined our moment. My mate growled at his words, inspite of getting beaten up by the same person a minute ago,  he was ready to defend me. I bit my lip.................. 'aww, this kid is cute Clara!'

My wolf gave a doggy grin 'Our mate!' she proudly stated. All males wolves had those overbearing  possessive and protective hormones. 

I shook my head bringing my attention back to the stupid guy infront of me. He had already made a scene and was not ready to back off, submit or apologize. Well...... then we will do this the hard way. 

'Warning or Killing?' my wolf casually questioned.

I rolled my eyes at her, 'Warning is enough'

"Which pack do you belong to?" I simply questioned, no use of using too many words with a foolish pack warrior.

"Really Beta? Leaving your Omega mate so soon? Wanna be in my----"

I punched his chest, the crack beneath my hand assured a few broken ribs. He staggered back coughing out blood.  Kicking his legs I held his hair so he was on knees looking up at me.

"Give me a good reason why I must let you live" I whispered sweetly, the terror in his eyes was enough to satisfy my wolf right now. His wolf had submitted a long ago, too weak stand a chance against Clara. 

"Name?"

"Banny Castor"

"Which pack?"

"Night Rangers" ........ Now that was quick, wasn't it?

He groaned in pain as I left him to curl on the ground in pain. 

"Let's meet in your Alpha's office in evening Banny Castor" I informed with that vicious smile of mine. 

Saying that I looked up at my mate's terrified eyes giving a apologetic look, before taking his hand and leading us away from the gasping crowd. Many had their phones out, I rolled my eyes they loved the stupid highschool drama......... 

My mate gasped as our hands connected. I could feel the sparks flowing through my skin, I suppressed my own reaction but  my wolf was on the edge doing happy dance.
