Young Blood

Chapter 4: Seriously?

Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday! I'm excited and I'm scared... What if I don't find my mate right away? What if my mate doesn't like me? Worse yet what if he rejects me? What will my first shift be like?

It's Been six days sense I started going to my new school, its currently Sunday night. My and Gunners realationship (If you can even call it that) has gotten worse, we basically hate each other in other words (Or at least I hate him). I guess he is already seventeen and looking for his mate, with all honesty I feel bad for who ever his mate is... Who am I kidding if I was his mate I would kill myself. (Not literally!) But I'm excited to see what is going to happen tomorrow and when and if I will find my mate.

I wake up to the feeling up my bed shaking, I grunt and turn over not wanting to wake up.

"Come on Ash wake up!" Keely squeels excitedly.

"I don't wanna!" I groan as Keely steals my blanket from my grasp making my warm skin meet the cool morning air. "Thanks now I'm cold!" I say as I sit up and glare at her.

"Hey, you know you love me." She says giving me her award winning smile.

"Okay you know I do." I smile at her as I get up. "Will you pick out my outfit while I shower?" I yawn as I ask her as she just replies with a squeel as she runs in to my closet.

I quickly start a hot shower and hop in relaxing my tense muscles and nervously racing mind. I wash my hair in my amazing smelling rose and vanilla scented shampoo and conditioner then walk in to my room and quickly grab the outfit Keels set out for me.

After putting on the outfit I smile in satisfaction at my look, a leather looking skater skirt with a white crop top that had an 89 printed on it and strappy heels with a love neclace to top off the look. Overall I think I look hot.

I quickly curl my hair to perfection and do my makeup, I put on some perfume then head out of my room with my backpack.

I walk in to the pack kitchen looking for Keely when I see Chris, I met him a couple days ago and he's only a year older than me and still looking for his mate, when we met we quickly bonded over our obsession with American Horror Story, god I love that show.

"Well someone looks hot on their birthday." Chris smirks at me and I just laugh as he hands me a cupcake with a birthday candle sticking out of it.

"Thanks Chris." I smile at him as I blow out the candle and set down the cupcake saving it for later.

"Weres Keely at?" He suddenly asks looking around the room.

"Probably getting ready for school." I guess since she's not down here.

"Perfection has arrived!" Keely screams as she walks in to the kitchen wearing yoga pants and a crop top that says perfection on it.

"Perfection certainly has arrived." I laugh as Keely walks over to me and Chris.

"So, after school today I was thinking we could go to the mall and hang out. Then we will go go-karting and do whatever else we feel like doing." Keely says excitedly as I just smile excited that we get to go go-karting.

"Awesome, but we gotta get to school before we're late!" I say grabbing my bag and walking out the door with Keely and Chris in tow.

As we pull up to school and I smile at the amazing minty and pine smell coming from somewhere in the school. As Keely looks over at me she gives me a weird look.

"Why the heck are you sniffing the air?" She asks with a raised eye brow.

"Don't you smell that amazing smell?" I ask with a dumbfounded look on my face.

"No," She says confused. "Wait! It must be your mates scent!" She practically screams with excitement.

"Oh." I say with a bit of excitement in my voice.

"What are you waiting for go find him!" She says with excitement.

"I'm not so sure about this." I say as we both get out of the car together foregetting about Chris.

"You're not like your dad don't worry about all that stuff." She says knowing exactling what I was thinking.

"I'm not so sure though." I say with uncertanty.

"Don't think just do." She says pushing me towards the school.

"I don't want to I'll see him at some point today. Then I'll find out." I say walking in too school with Keely right on my heels sighing.

"Fine." She say shaking her head and walking off.

I walk up to my locker and shove all my stuff in it and shut it with a huff. Just as I turn around and start to walk away I'm pushed against my locker by none other than Gunner.

"What the hell is your problem." I say as I shove his chest trying to get away from him. But that when I feel it. A tingling sensation on every part of my body that is touching Gunner.

"Well, isn't this interesting. Huh Fire." He smiles at me evily.

"Are you fucking kidding me!" I say trying to get away from him. "Out of all people, you." I say glaring.

"Yes me." He says glaring as his eyes get a little darker than normal.

"But seriously, for real you?" I say and immediately regret it as he throws me over his shoulder and starts walking towards the student parking lot.

"Are you kidnapping me!" I say trying to wiggle my way out of his strong grasp.

"No, I'm taking my mate to her new pack house." He replies in a clipped tone.

"No, I can still reject you." I say as he puts me down next to his car.

"But your not." He glares. "You know you're attracted to me and have been since you met me. I knew you were my mate since I met you. But I knew you would never believe me if I told you." He says with his eyes going dark.

"I'm still not sure I believe this! Someone pinch me this must be a dream!" I say as a few people in the parking lot look at us. "Ow!" I yell as I glare at Gunner. "Why the hell did you pinch my ass!"

"You said someone pinch me!" He smirks in triumph.

"Oh whatever!" I glare.

"You two are the perfect couple." Slate says with a smirk as he approaches us.

"Oh shut up." Gunner glares. "Will you get her to come with me back to the pack house."

"Sure." Slate smiles evilly. "You should go with Gunner to the pack house so you to can you know what." He winks suggestively.

"Oh my god that's disgusting!" I say as I blush and Gunner sighs.

"You're not helping Slate." Gunner says grinding his teeth.

"Just mark her already and she'll fall to your feet." Slate says flatly.

"Great idea." Gunner says as he yanks me towards him and bites into my neck.

I scream as I'm overcome with pain but stop as the pain turns in to pleasure. Gunner retracts his teeth and looks at me with black eyes. I in return slap him.

"Dude I was kidding!" Slate says with a distressed look in his eyes.

'your welcome Fire' Gunner says through our new mate mindlink.

'Fuck you!' I reply and block him out.
