Caroline's Possessive Mate!

Chapter 17

It always seems like the ride to school takes too long, always feels like I can't drive fast enough to get to school on time. But not today, one minute I was pulling out of the drive way and the next I was pulling into school. I'm not ready to do this. I just can't walk into school one day and be like, "Oh hey guys, I'm leaving, don't know when I will be back, so see yah!" I'm just not good at goodbyes, I always avoid them, I pretty much take full out runs to get away from them. But here I am facing the fact that I will be saying goodbye to my best friend that I have known all my life, and a bunch of other wolves I've grown up with.

Leo anyone, but he will have to watch me leave all of my friends. Leo walks over to where I stand, or more like lean, on the car and wraps his arms around my waist pulling me tightly into his body.

"Baby, it's going to be ok. I will be there with you throughout this all. And I'm just really sorry that you have to do all this for me." He talks in a low murmur as he gently presses his lips to my forehead. I raise my head up and gently place my lips on his. I need this reassurance, I need to know I'm making the right choice. And when his lips lock with mine, and I feel the fire spread from my lips throughout my body, I know there is no way I would risk his happiness for mine.

"It's not your fault. Remember I chose this, I agreed. I just really wish I didn't have to say goodbye, Maddy isn't going to take this good." He nods in agreement and release me, only to catch my hand in his. We walk slowly towards the school, and I open the doors ready to face whatever may or may not happen today. Walking down the hallways I see my group of friends, as always, surrounding my locker. All of them laughing and goofing off just like normal teenagers do. When Maddy sees me coming, she jumps with glee, and comes running at me.

"Oh my gosh Caroline, you have just missed it all! Charlie and Kat broke up, and like it was so bad!" She kept going on till she realized that I wasn't really paying alot of attention.

"Is there something wrong Caroline? Did something happen?" She eyes up at Leo, who is standing quietly beside me, and I can see some wheels going around in her head.

"Umm.. well yes Maddy, something actually did happen." My voice is quiet and a sudden look of worry passes over her face.

"Oh gosh are you pregnant Caroline? You know your dad is going to Kill you, if he doesn't kill Leo first!!" I start laughing, why does everyone think I am pregnant?

"No Maddy, I'm not pregnant, so chill your beans!" She lets out a small gust of air, and signals a relief look.

"Well ok then, so what's going on?" Breathing in and out, I can do this, right?

"Well Leo's pack is a little different from ours. His pack doesn't actually believe that he has found his mate, and until he can actually prove he has a mate he won't become alpha. So his dad wants me and Leo to move into their pack house, and live there." Maddy looks upset, but not as bad as I thought she would be.

"Well, ok. I guess that's understandable. You guys can leave after senior year right? So you can at least graduate with us!" A small chance of hope is in her voice, and I feel little tears prickle up in my eyes. I can't do this to my best friend.

"Maddy, we are leaving tomorrow. Today is my last day at school. We will of course come back and visit, when we can. It's not like I'm never going to see you again, were just not going to see each other as often." First comes the calm look on her face, then the worried, then the confused, then the angry, and then finally the sad look.

"NO! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE LIKE THAT! THEY CAN'T MAKE YOU MOVE! IT'S NOT FAIR!." Nope I was definitely mistaken, she's still in the angry phase.

"Maddy, they aren't making me do anything. I'm choosing to go, I will not be responsible for Leo losing his Alpha spot, and as his mate it is my responsibility to one day be Luna over the pack. I have to go, I'm really sorry." Maddy starts crying, and I don't mean little tears, big tears, with loud sobbing noises. Which makes me cry, because I just can't stop myself from crying when someone else is upset.

"I know, I'm just going to miss you so much! What am I suppose to do without you?" I walk to her and we hug each other tightly, crying. Well isn't this a great start to my last day of school!

"I love you Maddy, and don't worry we will still text, and tweet, and aggravate each other, just not as closely. I'm still going to come back, and we will shut the mall down!" She giggles/hiccups and nods in agreement.

"You pinky promise to call me and not to just totally forget me!" She sticks out her pinky finger like we use to do when we were kids, and I stick mine out and we lock them like friends do!

"I pinky promise!" She giggles and we both start laughing loudly.

"Well I guess we better get to class,because I'm sure you have more people then me to say goodbye to." And I sure did. Word got out that I was leaving to go live with my boyfriend, and every corner I turned I was harassed with all kinds of questions like: When are you leaving? Are you pregnant? Is Caden leaving to? And it eventually got to the point when anyone asked me a question I just said yes and went on my way. At then end of the day I made a big huddle and hugged all my friends goodbye, but saved Maddy for last.

"So are you guys leaving right now?" She asked in a quiet voice.

"No, we are staying the night and leaving early in the morning." She nods and jumps to grab me in another hug.

"I'm going to miss you Caroline." I hug her tighter.

"I'm going to miss you to." We say a final goodbye and off me and Leo go.

"That wasn't as bad as I thought, I mean I figured Maddy would have at least killed me first. But here I am, still alive." He laughs lightly, which makes me laugh to.

"Yeah she was alot calmer than I though she would have been. But I'm going to miss her alot." I could feel some more emotions start to rise, so I tried to think of something else.

"I'm sorry, I really am." He sounds sad, which makes me feel guilty.

"Leo, it's not your fault. So if you tell me your sorry one more time, I'm going to stab you." He quickly turns his head to give me a scared look and I tear out laughing. We pull into the driveway of my house and walk quietly into the living room. There sits Mom, Dad, and Caden.

"Whatcha guys doing?" I ask while I sink down into the couch with Leo next to me.

"We just figured we would say one more quick goodbye before we have to leave." Dad speaks in a calm but restrained voice.

"Wait where are you guys going? I thought you were going to see us off tomorrow?" Leave it up to my family to leave on the day I'm leaving.

"Something came up with another pack, we have to go and handle it tonight. I'm sorry dumpling." Dad stands up to grab me in a hug, so I stand up to meet him.

"I'm going to miss you dad, alot!" I start crying again, for like the billionth time but dad just wipes my tears.

"I'm going to miss you tear darling, but it's not forever. And don't worry if Mr.Leo tries to keep you from me I will hunt him down." He eyes Leo with a jokingly serious face. Next I reach for mom, who is also crying.

"I'm going to miss you baby girl, you make sure to call me everyday. I want to know everything, and I want pictures sent! I love you!" She hugs me tightly.

"I love you to mom!" I look to Caden next, who is simply looking back at me. But then suddenly he grabs me in a big bear hug.

"If he hurts you I will personally hunt him down and kill him. K baby sis, you just call me if you need me." Caden whispers in my ear while giving Leo a death look.

"Ok big bro, love you." He tightens his arms around me one last time then release me. They all grab their bags and off they go in a matter of minutes. Me and Leo fix some dinner, and watch a movie till it's time to go to sleep. When we head for bed I turn the other way from him, but soon enough he has me pulled into his arms. And I sleep a dreamless night, because I have no idea what I'm heading for tomorrow..
