Chapter Two 

"Take a seat, I presume you are Miss Deveruax?" Mr Tall Dark and Handsome asked as I slid into the only available seat left. i knew how this worked. Just because he was a new teacher didnt mean that he didnt know how it went as well. "it depends," I told him. "I'm her if Im not going to get a detention on my first day, If I am, then I am in  the witness protection program and regret to inform you that I cannot give you my name in fear of the Amish Mafia coming to kill me," 

The class chuckled and I smiled up at the teacher impishly. "Really?" he asked as he sat on the edge of his desk, crossing his arms and his ankles. "Yes really, they are pretty bad as this Amish Mafia," I replied. He smiled and shook his head. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours," he said. i scrunched up my mouth in a scowl. "I guess its only fair," I said agreeing. "James Brookfield," he said. The class was turning their heads to the front of the room to the back of the room where Iwas located. It was quite funny to watch actually."Eden Metzger-Devereux-Alderman," I told him. I was going to love this reaction. "Three last names?" he questioned. "One mommy and two daddies, Im from a....diverse family so to say," I told him. Let him suck on that for a bit. 

"Okay than Miss Eden Metzger-Devereux-Alderman..." he started. "They typically just call me Eden, its a lot easier," I implored. "Well Eden it is, you know the rules here at Hache I presume. I'll see you after school for a detention." I slumped down in my seat. Of course, why not. mom was not going to let me hear the end of this.

5 minutes left until the bell rang. First day of Bio and we already were relearning what I learned the year before. Anaphase, Teleophase and some other phases I didnt pay attention too. I was half pissed of at Mr. Brookfield, A for being so damn appealing and B for giving me damn detention. Everyone knew my circumstances and that if they didnt give me leeway on some things shit could go down and bam end of the world, at least for some of the wolves. It wasnt like i was asking for special attention 24/7 just 8/5 more likely. 

About a minute before the bell rand, Mr. Brookfield put his white erase marker down and faced the class. "Study the phases youll have a quiz first thing tomorrow morning," he told us. Groaning and moaning ensued as everyone voiced their very angry opinions, and gathered their items up to leave to go to the next block. 

I was gathering my stuff up as well, when Mr Brookfield walked up to my desk and put his hand down ontop of my notebook, I dropped it and looked up at him. "I need you to stay after class for a few moments," he said quietly. Everyone was rushing to the door as the bell rang. For Petes Sake. I nodded my head and sat back in my chair as he walked towards the door and closed it behind the last person that left swiftly locking it. I was starting to get a little nervous. if I wasnt out there in about 3 minutes Lucas would shift again and break the door down, possibly killing Mr Sexy there. I shook my head at that image. It wasnt a pretty one. 

Mr Brookfield walked back over to me and I shifted in my seat but kept my gaze trained on him. "So Miss Eden who's name is to long to repeat, why were you late to my class?" he asked. He stood right in front of me, his bright green eyes boring down at me. i didnt like this, not one bit, I couldnt breathe. He was taking my air! My body started to hum. "Eden?" he asked as my breath became labored. 

My eyes fluttered back in my head.

"I heard that Julianne got to him, convinced him to join her ranks," Cam said as he walked up to Sophie. Sophie sat down and on the couch and sighed. She looked over at the two sleeping babies in the bassinet. "He went willingly?" she asked. Cam nodded. "I guess just because I talked to him once since he left forever ago doesnt change anything does it?" she asked. Cam sat down next to her. 

"He's a SkinWalker. A different type of werewolf. They're alot like shifters. Except its a genetic Mutation not something that can be created, not like us, the werewolves or them, the shifters," he pointed to the babies in the bassinet. "SkinWalkers can bite others and infect them but they usually dont, its rare and since I know you arent a SkinWalker, his daughters mom must have been and she bit him." 

"Why is she recruiting them?" Sophie asked. She ran her hands through her hair in frustration. "The Honest answer," Cam said. "Is because the more people she has on her side, the more people she'll have to help kill them, she doesnt need to kill them, she just needs to kill you," he told her. 

"Scarlett said that we are good though, right, that we're safe...they're safe as long as no one crosses the border or leaves the radius?" She asked. "She's powerful Sophie, yes, Scarlett is more powerful but only because she tapped into the earth and had help from the ancestors, theres only so much time before my mother finds a way in," Jax said, he had just walked into the room. 

"they're only a few weeks old..." Sophie started. "Then we need to start training them now, baby steps of course but we have to have them prepared, Eden has to be prepared, she cant find us but that doesnt mean that the Luna Pack or anyone else cant, if they find them and kill them, that's our chance, gone." Cam told her. 

Sophie rubbed her temple and sighed. "do we know who is all looking for them right now?" she questioned. "From what Moki found out...she has the entire Luna Pack and one SkinWalker. Eli. But he's got a buddy doing some of the dirty work as well. All we found out was his name is James" Jax told her.

I came to and gasped for breath. "Eden are you okay!" James asked as he touched my arm. I jolted out of my chair and nearly face planted. "Dont touch me!' I managed to spit out. "Eden whats wrong?" he questioned. He advanced towards me and our bodies were starting to come closer together, like two magnets with an attraction. All these things were running through my mind. James? Eli? Skinwalker? Alpha? Was he here to kill me? Was he going to kill me now?! My body started humming the closer he got to me. My back hit the wall. I went to speak but a knock on the door sounded. "Eden!" It was Lucas. He tried to open the door. "Eden? I can hear you breathing are you okay?!" he questioned. My body started to burn, Lucas was close enough that I could feed off his energy. This wasnt going to turn out good. "I'd open the door If I was you," I warned James.
