“So it was you who smelt so…delicious back in class…” I feel my heart skipping a beat , almost in a painful way I feel the humiliation flow through my veins.

“How – How did –“ I curse in my head for stuttering.

“Kitten…I had every girl in class soak their underwear just by stepping into the room – you were…the only one who smelt good enough to eat…” I close my eyes lowly moan , at what he had whispered in my ear , but bit down gently on my bottom lip to stop it from escaping. The warmth I felt from his body disappeared quickly , making me open my eyes. He was no where in sight , however I see the hall crowded with people staring at me.

“What!!” I shout back , startling them all and making them scramble away from me. I fall against the lockers and take deep breathes while trying my hardest to fan away the blush on my face.

“Are you okay?” I slightly jump in shock.

“What do you want?” I grind my teeth , as I see a concerned Felix.

“I saw you having a rough encounter with Leonidas – and I was just wandering if you were okay?” there was something about his voice that made my face soften. Instead of barking at him or sending hatred his way , I felt myself let out a sigh , that had contained all my mixed emotions.

“I am okay – his just a bully I guess…” I mumble under my breath , but I am sure he heard it as he exhales in a small chuckle.

“Hey , since we both new here – do you want to explore the cafeteria with me?” he asks me innocently. Yet the alpha in me , slowly growls at the idea of an alpha and a rouge being closer than enemies. I ignore him , turning on my heels and walking away from him.

“Is that a yes?” he walks after me.

“No.” I state and pick up my pace. I begin to slow down when I smell his scent fading away in the distance – honestly , what had he been thinking?! An alpha and a rouge walking around school , together…is bounder line madness. I am so deep in my thoughts that I do not even realise where my feet is taking me.

“Oompf!” I hear a soft voice , as something small bumps into my chest , dragging me back down to earth.

“I am so –“ I look ahead of me to apologise , but I see an empty hallway. I lower my head down as something grabs my attention – this petite small girl , so tiny and small rubs her forehead while her bottom lip trembles.

“I am so sorry , I did not …see you” I apologise , while my mind still can not get over the fact of how tiny she is.

“Its…okay…” her soft baby voice leaves her lips – her voice matching her petite self. I take a little sniff , just to catch her scent. Human. I feel even worse now for bumping into her , this is my first interaction with a human and I hurt her already.

After she is done rubbing her forehead , she looks to me and instantly a huge smile appears. Honestly , it was scary to see such a small girl smile so wide.

“You must be new here?” she asks me , her soft voice now becomes high pitched , which makes my ear ring a bit.

“Yes…” I answer her.

“ My name is Penny , Penny Blossom” she puts out her hand for me to take. I hesitate for a second , I need to control my strength or I might just swash her hand. I slowly reach out to her hand , and gently grasp it. We shake for a little while before I speak.

“I am Beatrice , Beatrice Finn” I copy her introduction.

“ How are you liking our school thus far , Beatrice?” she questions me after taking back her hand.

“You can call me Tris – it is actually really nice here except for a few students that have already made it on my hate list” I sigh , to which she giggles.

“ You must of have bumped into Leonidas” she says knowingly.

“Is he always that…annoying?” I ask her , which makes her giggle.

“ Hey , I’m on my way to grab some lunch – would you like to eat lunch with me and my boyfriend?” she asks me with her huge puppy dog eyes , making me melt on the spot.

“Of course , that would be lovely!” I exclaim. Instantly , she grabs my hand and starts dragging me to the opposite way of which I had been going. Turns out , I had long passed the cafeteria. We both stop power walking as we reach two huge door. I can tell it is the cafeteria as a whole lot of scents pound my nose , making me want to gag and throw up.

“We are just going to collect our trays and then head out to the field – we like to sit outside where the awful smell does not bother us” she lightly giggles when she sees my face scrunch up from the powerful smell that leaks throw the gaps of the doors.

I ready myself for the blow when she pushes the doors open – and certainly , this has been the worst thing I have ever smelt. I let my eyes scan the room , and I notice that most of the students , who are laughing and goofing around while eating their lunches , are human. I guess the other werewolves could not stick the smell as well. She pulls me once more towards the food , and thankfully enough there had been no line. I watch her take two trays before handing one for me. I go first , and she is left in awe at how much of food I have heaped on my plate to which I just chuckle.

“I am a big eater…” I try to give her some logical explanation.

After she gets her food , with both trays mirroring each other , we both turn to leave. From the corner of my eye , I see the rouge settling down at an open table – I can feel his eyes latched on to me. I ignore him – I do feel kind of sorry for him as he chose wisely not to come to the field where I am sure the majority of pack werewolves are. They will surely rip him to shreds if they are left alone with him.

Eventually , we reach the field where the air is fresh and only the scent of food , trees , soil and other werewolves invade my senses. I let out a sigh of freedom as I look upon each small pack that have grouped themselves at each corner of the field. It is only natural that each pack stays to themselves – they stay around people they are comfortable with.

Anway , I follow the little petite girl who power walks to her destination. She looks so tiny amongst all the giants around her. We make our way to the football stands and make our way to a boy who sits by himself.

“Baby , didn’t I tell you it would be a good idea for me to get lunch today – see who I had ran into on my way there!” she exclaims excitedly when nearing him. I feel my eyes widen in surprise as I sniff his scent – his a werewolf…Did she just call him ‘babe’? Werewolves normally did not do the dating thing as they normally waited for their mates , however most just date for the fun of it before mating season. So I was beyond shocked that a werewolf male is dating a human girl unless…

“Hey there , my names Dylan” he greets me , while taking his plate from her hand so that she could sit down. I greet him back. I take a seat next to her , and begin to dig in to the mountain that lays in my plate.

“So what grade you in?” Dylan asks me , I can feel him watching me intently – most likely trying to sense the rank I am in.

“11^th grade” I say , shoving a spoon full of the plates content into my mouth.

“And you guys?” I ask them both after shallowing the food.

“12^th…Why did you move to this school?” he asks me. I wanted to tell him the truth , but his girlfriend was there and I think he understood that when I looked at her and then to him before I answered.

“ Needed a fresh start” I simply state – I rather not make up a lie which only leads to more lying , eventually I was bound to get caught up in them. He smiles at me in a mischievous way , as if he knew I was lying and that he knew something that I did not.

“What do you think honey?” he asks Penny , which made me stroke her chin with her fingers before she says something that confuses and shocks me.

“I think she has alpha blood in her – her aura is strong and independent. She already butted heads with the alpha of alphas , which means competition…”
