Chapter Three: The Week Of

The weekend went by fast but not before my dreams were filled with Emilio. And they weren't exactly the PG-13 type of dream you'd imagine them to be. I sighed getting up to get ready for school. Before long I was headed out the door to my usual trail to school. I put in my ear buds and played "It's not u it's me" by Bea Miller, she was one of my favorite artist. Lucky for me I didn't run into Emilio along the way. The same however couldn't be said for the beginning of the school parking lot.

My face flushed red as the dirty imagines from the dream last night appeared in my head. Damn, I thought why did I have to see him. Moreover why do I want someone who has bullied me for as long as I can remember. Is it possible that he's my mate and I just don't know it yet but my subconscious does. I sighed and headed past him into the school. I stopped at my locker and put my things I didn't need for my first class into it. When I felt a presence next to me, I shut my locker turning to the figure next to me.

"What do you want Emilio." I snipped which made my heartstrings pull on themselves. What the hell I thought to myself. Emilio raised his hands in surrender and replied. "I just wanted to see your sweet sweet face." I felt my eyes roll by themselves. "I'm busy so if you'd excuse me." I stated dryly and walked around him to my first class. To bad I could feel his eyes on me the whole way. Once in the class I took my seat in the back and took a deep breath. No matter how hard I tried to pay attention to the teacher but my mind wondered back to our future alpha.

Before I knew it the day had rush passed fast. I gathered my belongings and decided to take the long path. I don't think I can control myself If I ran into him. It's like the cravings for that asshole became more immeasurable by the day. I took the chance in the woods to calm these raging female hormones I had. I heard someone calling after me faintly but when I turned no one was there. I got an uneasy feeling and felt super cold all of a sudden.

As sudden as it came on it left me. My mind must be playing tricks on me I thought as I reached the clearing to my house. Once inside I decided to head to bed instead of staying up. I took a warm shower but I still couldn't shake this feeling. I slipped into a slumber not long after I fell asleep.

My deep sleep was flooded with a nightmare. I was drowning in something thicker than water. It smelled metallic, it couldn't be blood could it. I heard a horrid laughter that made my insides turn and twist. Pain filled my mind as I heard the man's laughter turn into taunting phrases. "No one will want you now." "Filthy Whore" "You're mine" the man's voice gave me goosebumps and made me shiver. He reached toward me submerging my head in the blood. I let out a scream and tried to fight him off. To no avail, I felt my lungs burn as I gasped in the thick blood.

I jumped awake soaked in sweat. I looked at the clock and noticed it was only two in the morning. There was no way I could fall back  asleep. I decided to go take a long run and then come back in shower. Since I didn't have my wolf form, I had to rely on running to stay on top shape. Everyone else could just change and run, they had it some much easier.

I walked out and felt the cool air wrap around my body like a tight hug. I took off at a slow trot along the path I usually take. About a mile in I seen a wolf trailing me from behind. I slowed to an almost walk as the wolf padded up to me.

"Staz, it's dangerous out here. Why are you here?" My fathers telepathic message popped into my mind.

"Sorry Dad, I couldn't sleep and needed to clear my head." I replied back to him. His wolf nodded and he connected again "Head back, contact me if something happens." I agreed and turned on my heel to run back. As I got close to home I was grabbed by a pair of rough hands. A muffled scream escaped my mouth followed by a shushing of a familiar voice. I pulled away from him "What in the hell Emilio." I shouted in a whisper at him. He chuckled making my heart flutter. Damn female hormones, they couldn't ever act right.

"I wanted to see you." He said earnestly. I mocked his words back to him "I am not a toy Emilio, I am not some pack slut, there are plenty of those so why can't you leave me be." I seen the anger flash in his eyes. As an Alpha talking back to him was a big no no. He let out a breath to calm himself down. I could see him agruing with his wolf internally. It was no doubt that his wolf wanted to teach me a lesson. 

"Why do you hate me so?" he asked hesitantly. I stared at him in awe for a long minute confused as to why he would as such a question. Was he not there when he tormented me all these years. Does he have amnesia or something. I furrowed my brows "Have you really forgotten everything, was it not you who tormented me over the last 8 years." I shouted in a whisper again.  He was taken aback, but soon the same rage I was all to familiar with filled his face. He backed me into the building putting both arms on either side of my body so he could trap me. I felt my body tense up causing me to hold my breath.

"You think I tortured you? I barely did anything to you." he seethed. He pulled away and stepped off a bit to put distance between us. I watched him as he tried to calm himself down. "Staz," He said as he locked eyes with me. "I love you, I always have, I was just a stupid kid who didn't know how to show it." I scoffed at his lame response. "Emilio, I don't have time for this." I said and turned on my heel to leave.

Emilio grabbed my arm to stop me. "Please Stazie, give me a chance." He begged and that was rare because Alpha's do not beg. I let out an annoyed breath. "Fine but one step out of line and I will go back to the way I was." I stated with cooled anger. His face brightened. "Thank you!" He chirped and brought me into a tight hug. I patted his back awkwardly in response and waited to be let go. After he let me go he beamed me a happy smile and said his goodbyes. I sighed and facepalmed myself. Why did I agree to that. Fucking idiot is what I am. Once back in my room I quickly showered and laid back in bed. Today is the day before the mating ball and I knew it would prompt some hellish fights between people. Teenagers who were dating but would not turn out to be mates would argue and grasp at anything to keep the person they fell for. Atleast I don't have to worry about that.
