Chapter 5

Evie’s POV

Okay that just happened, after fleeing one wolf I found another one apparently. Well, that sucks. Anyway, when Alex left, I did what he asked. I went inside mine and Kristin's dorm. I remember how hard it was to get this dorm together. We specifically told the dorm manager that we wanted to have a dorm together. He told us that it would be no problem, but still we ended up not having one together. Apparently, he confused us with to other friends Maya and Daimy. I ended up having a dorm with Maya, while Kristin was paired with Daimy. When we found out we immediately switched, but we ended up being good friends with them and we sometimes go out with them too.

When Kristin and I finally got our dorm we all went to the home store and bought all our stuff together. The dorm was already furnished with a big grey couch, 2 small black metal coffee tables with a wooden tabletop, a small TV and cabinet around and under it, wooden dinner table and chairs.

Kristin was watching some TV; I don't even know what she's watching now. I think it is Lucifer or chilling adventures of Sabrina. Like I said I don't know that girl has a Netflix problem. Not that I am judging or anything. She loves those kinds of shows, with the super natural in it I guess. I wondered how she would react if she found out werewolves existed.

"So, you and Alex" Kristin said while wiggling her eyebrows. I could not help but laugh, like a full-on laugh, holding belly, almost laying on the floor, kind of laugh. "Wait, am I missing something?" She asked confused at my reaction.

Well, I mean kind of. I have one mate, who just marked me, so I don't even think I can be with anyone else anymore. When did my life become so complicated? Why can't I just have a normal life?

"No... it's fine" I said while catching my breath. "But no. No, me and Alex, he's becoming a good friend I think."

"Yeah right, I saw the way he was looking at you, like you're that cookie he wants to eat but his mom told him no but he's still trying to get one" I raised my eyebrow

"What?"

"You know, when you were a kid and you really really really wanted the cookie, just imagine your favorite cookie, freshly baked and your mom said you're not allowed to eat it. How do you look at it?" she said

"Okay like I really want to eat it, but I don't think he wants to ea--" I came to a realization "Oh, OOOOOOOH shit really? well that was unexpected"

This time it was Kristin's time to laugh. "Yeah okay, anyway I just baked chocolate chip cookies" She smirked "How's your neck?"

"It's fine, it will heal, I just hope it won't scar" I replied, even though I knew it would scar, I mean that is one of the reasons for a bite. To show other wolfs that your mated right?

"Probably not, you didn't need stitches so I think it will be fine" She responded, if only she knew. Maybe I should tell her what really happened. But I guess I will just talk to Alex about it first. "How did you even manage to get yourself bitten in your neck? Like seriously how big was that dog and how did he bite your neck?"

I started to panic a little "I don't really know what kind of dog it was. One moment I was walking outside the store. And uhmm" okay what the hell am I going to say, uhmm shit okay "my shoelaces were untied so I sat down for a moment to tie them" okay yes that sounds believable. "And the next moment I felt the bite in my neck. The owner said he was very sorry "I mean Josh was a little panicked. "I didn't know what to do, so I just started to run and kind of forgot to take the groceries. I'm sorry Kris"

"I think you are forgetting that I've known you for over 10 years and know when you are lying. But I will leave it for now because I'm too hungry. Would you like some mac and cheese? I think that's about all we have at the moment" She replied

"Yeah sure, what were you watching when I came in? We could just watch a movie tonight. I'm not feeling like going out." I should have known she wouldn't believe me, but what am I supposed to do. At least I'm off the hook for now.

We walked to our kitchen; it wasn't much. Just had a stove, refrigerator, and freezer in one. A stove and some cabinets. The kitchen was almost in the living room. We put an open closet in front of it, so it was like its own space. In the closet were a couple of plants, that didn't need much care otherwise they would just die, and some books.

"I was watching Emily in Paris. It's about this American girl, Emily, she is played by Lily Collins, although she is British, anyway she goes to Paris for work. The company she works at works together with a company in Paris, and she needs to help with advertisement." I looked at her confused and she signed "You know what never mind, you need to follow the show to understand. So, what do you feel like watching Eve?"

"Do you even have to ask?" Kristin started to laugh

"No, I guess not, Doctor who it is, we really do have a different taste in shows, or just in general. How are we even friends" I just laughed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 episodes, 3 hours, later, Kristin fell asleep on the couch. Well, I guess I should go to bed than.

"Kris..." I whisperer, Nothing. "Krisssss" I whispered a little louder, still no reaction at all "KRIS" okay yeah that woke her up.

"Where is the fire?" I started to laugh "What are you laughing at"

"There is no fire, you just fell asleep on the couch, didn't look very comfortable. So I thought to wake you up, so yeah you're welcome for not having a stiff neck in the morning" I said still laughing a little.

"Oh... okay, thanks I guess, goodnight"

"Goodnight" I went to our small bathroom bathroom. The bathroom just had a shower, toilet, small sink and two cabinets. We made it a little homier with fluffy light blue mat on the ground and a small Aloe Vera plant on the cabinets and a Cast Iron Plant on the ground. I brushed my teeth in front of the black round mirror and braided my long dark brown hair. I still don't like to wear make-up, so I just removed the little mascara I was wearing. I thanked god for having thick brown eyebrows. I mean I don't have to do anything about them, just sometimes pluck a little so that I don't get a uni-brow.

When I was done, I walked over to my room, it was small but what do you expect from a dorm. I just had a closet for my clothes, a double bed with a nightstand and a desk with a chair. My bed had a grey duvet with my favorite navy blue, or how I like to call it Tardis blue, quilt. My desk was a mess like always, with my biology papers all over. I still wasn't sure what I wanted to study, but it would defiantly be something with biology.

I got in my bed and began to think about the day I had. Why is this my life? Did I have some kind of bad karma? And why did my parents just have to move to Lupus Harbour. Now that I am thinking about it, seriously why did they have to move so quickly. It was like one morning my mom just said yeah, we're moving at the end of the week. They never really gave me a good reason why. I mean my mom and dad just worked at some kind of company; I was never really bothered with what they did for work. I am not even sure what kind of company, I think it has something to do with security. I think I should ask them the next time I call.

Since I left, I called at least 2 times a week to keep them up to date. When I left to go back to San Diego, they kind of understood. I gave them a small explanation about mine and Ashtons breakup. To say my dad was angry would be an understatement. He was furious at him, I had to hold him back to go after him. I was disappointed in myself because he warned me about him. At the dinner with Ashton, he even told him to go away at first. And I, with my stupid head, said he should stay. I stood up for him, how stupid was I a few month ago. I should have listened to my dad. Now he is always worrying about me, he told me he spoke to Ashtons mom a few weeks ago. I knew Ashton was miserable, but it suits him just right.

Josh had tried to contact me for weeks; I still didn't know what to do about him. He sent me texts about Ashton as well. I know wolfs have just one mate, when they are rejected, they could be miserable for the rest of their life. But that is not my problem, right?

I looked over at my alarm clock on my nightstand and it was already 1 am. I should really go to sleep. I have an early class in the morning. Wait am I even allowed to go to class now? Alex asked, no begged me, to stay inside. I will just have to call him in the morning. As I kept thinking about the morning, I slowly felt myself falling asleep.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, my alarm went off, I looked over and saw 6.30 am. Shit do I really need to get up? Well, I guess I'll just call Alex now. I mean if I have to suffer, at least I am not alone? I picked up my phone and looked for Alex number and pressed the call button.

"Alexander Ross speaking" I heard the sleepy voice of Alex and just had to laugh "Wait Evie? Is everything all right, are you hurt?"

"Well, good morning mister Ross" I laughed even harder "I am fine I jus--"

"Wait you're fine, not hurt in any way and you decided to call me at" there was a small pause "At 6.40 AM, are you crazy?"

"I'm sorry, like I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted. I was wondering what to do now. I have a class at 8 am. and you said I had to stay home, but I cannot miss this class" I tried to convince him to let me go

"I am sorry Evie, but it's not possible now. We are going to see the elders today. I was goi--"

"What are elders?" I interrupted him

"I was getting to that, I was going to call you later, like way later than 6.40 AM EVIE SERIOUSLY. Anyways the elders are like a council for wolfs. They should know what to do about your little problem on your neck. Now let me go back to sleep I will pick you up at 11." He sounded really frustrated.

"Wait Alex" nothing "Alex" okay he hung up on me. Well, that sucks. But okay a few more hours of sleep never hurt anyone. I fell back to sleep; well I guess I'm going to meet the elders today.
