Jolene 

We get to the school grounds around 7:15 am and we still have half an hour before the first period. 

I grabbed my bag and followed Jess out. We talked all the way to our lockers and the place was loud as always. 

Everyone talking and the voices overlapping with each other. 

"I hope the coach and the head cheer are not bitches. I really want to joined. It's going to be good on my university application and at least I don't have to listen my mom talk about Luna stuff after school"she whines.

"You love your mom. At least your mom doesn't tell you join her in during training and beg you to spar with her. Yesterday she nearly dislocated my shoulders,thank God my father was there to help me. But she felt bad afterwards and gave me a princess treatment" I tell.

"You have a fun mom. I don't that,duties and responsibilities comes before fun,like I'm th future alpha" she groans.

Just as I was about to reply her, familiar voices sounds from down the hall. 

His voice is the first one I could defer from the rest. My eyes moved past Jess to down the hall way and it landed on his blind hair and stormy gray eyes.

My mom says my eyes are unique but she hasn't seen Seth's. I could at them all day long and not get tired.

He was walking towards our direction with his friend group,which involves his best friend, Cal,whom is the son of the beta,the some two other boys,chase and carl,then on his arms is his flavour of the month,Vera and her minions,Gerty and Nuella.

When he was almost at our locker,my eyes were still on him,not listening to Jess

He looks up.

And for a second his eyes meet mine.

Everything else fades away.

But just as he looked at me,he away. Like always. But the fluttering doesn't stop,it never does. It always lingers.

He never stares at me for too long,it always looks like I'm some weird animal.

He stopped by our side,looked at me again and gave me a cut nod before throwing his hands around Jessica and she groaned.

“Hey,” Jessica says

“Mom said you’re picking me up after practice.” she said 

Seth shifts his attention to her instantly, his expression softening and still playful. Only to Jessica.

"Yeah. Don’t be late.”

“I won’t,” she rolls her eyes.

"Wow, Jessica,you've really grown tall. Seth, your sister is becoming a woman now. Better get your guns ready"Carl says visibly checking her out.

Seth grabs his arm and twisted it,

" Never check out my sister,ever again! Don't even think of looking at her when she walks by. Do you understand?"he seeths,his eyes glowing bright yellow.

Seth has gotten in touch with wolf. I was in there house when he shifted for the first time and let Jessica ride him.

It was the scariest thing to watch,with all the crying and hallowing.

His parents said he was special because his wolf had come earlier than expected. His wolf was part of the high council. His wolf was a god wolf. Vallum,the fastest and strongest wolf to ever exist. And he doesn't play about Jessica.

"Seth,stop it,you are hurting him" 

" Yes alpha " Carl says and Seth released him before his eyes comes back to gray.

He glares at Carl,who steps back. Seth walks away angrily and the rest of the guys followed.

Jessica muttered sorry to Carl who only gives him a small smile before following the others.

"At the rate I will never find my mate" Jessica groaned.

"He is just being protective of you" I tell her and closed my locker and we began walking towards our first class.

"You always defend him"she groaned.

"No I don't" I lied. I always do. "But my brothers are literally the same and even worse. I just have breathing space because they are in college now" I told her 

"I can't wait for him to go to college already" she said 

No I don't want him to go to college. I thought but I can't say that now.

"Well you are going to miss him when he leaves. I miss my brothers" 

"Well I won't miss him",the bell rings at the same moment.

“Let’s go,” she grabs my wrist, pulling me along.

.....

The day drags.

Classes were boring with a lot of instructions, introductions and rules everywhere. 

We were ushered into the assembly hall after the second period and learnt about the history of the school. We each were assigned to our various homerooms,Jess and I had the same homerooms. 

Clubs came and introduced themselves with their benefits and we signed for some,in case cheer doesn't work.

After school came and all the girls that wanted to join the cheer squad were in the changing room changing.

"I hope we are picked" I said nervously 

"We are. Vera is a kiss ass and will do anything to get Seth's favor.You’ll be fine,” she says, like it’s the simplest thing in the world. “You’ve been training for this your whole life without even realizing it." 

"Gymnastics isn’t the same as dancing."

"Close enough."

  • The Unchosen Mate    Chapter 20

    Jolene The name hit me like ice water. JoleneI froze mid-step, the air suddenly too thick to breathe. Jolene Falls. The girl who was never meant to be my mate. The one I’d rejected without a backward glance all those years ago. My chest tightened painfully. Jessica,my little sister,couldn’t stop talking about how happy she was to have her best friend back. Mad at first, sure, but they were working through it. And Aurora? She wouldn’t shut up about ‘Miss Falls this’ and ‘Miss Falls that.’ The clay wolves, the stories at circle time, how she helped with the dress tonight.Cal watched me carefully. “Yeah. She’s back in Crove. Been teaching at the school for a bit now. Aurora’s completely taken with her.”I sank back into my chair, staring at the photo again but seeing something else entirely. Jolene. Back after seven years. The girl who used to blush every time I walked into a room in high school. I’d thought it was just a stupid crush back then,harmless, fleeting. Then the mate bond s

  • The Unchosen Mate    Chapter 19

    SethThe evening light had long since faded from the windows of my office, leaving the room bathed in the warm glow of a single desk lamp. I sat in the heavy leather chair, a glass of whiskey in my hand, the ice long melted into a watery amber. My thumb traced the edge of the silver frame on the desk, the photograph that always pulled me under.Aurora’s second birthday. She was perched on my shoulders, tiny hands tangled in my hair, her laughter frozen mid-bubble. Kaira stood beside us, one arm wrapped around my waist, her head tilted back in that carefree way she had when the world felt light. Her smile lit up the whole damn picture. It was one of the last truly happy moments before everything turned dark. Before the weight of the pack, the endless responsibilities, and then the sudden, cruel emptiness two years ago.I took another slow sip, the burn sliding down my throat but doing nothing to loosen the knot in my chest. Some memories you cling to because forgetting would be worse t

  • The Unchosen Mate    Chapter 18

    Jolene At the school gymnasium, the decorations were simple but sweet, twinkling lights, paper lanterns, and a small stage for performances. Parents and daughters milled about in their finery. I spotted Aurora immediately near the refreshments table, wearing a pale pink dress with little sparkles that caught the light. Her hair was in careful curls, but her face looked anxious as she scanned the growing crowd.“Miss Falls!” she called, running over the second she saw me. She did a little twirl. “Do you like my dress? Daddy picked it out special.”My heart squeezed. I crouched down to her level, smiling wide. “Aurora, you look absolutely beautiful. Like a little princess. That color makes your eyes shine.”She blushed, ducking her head with a shy giggle. “Really? You’re not just saying that?”“Really really,” I promised, tapping her nose gently. “You’re going to have the best time tonight. Want to show me your moves before it starts?”We practiced a silly dance together, her small han

  • The Unchosen Mate    Chapter 17

    JoleneThe days blurred together in a rhythm I hadn’t expected. Every afternoon around three-thirty, the classroom door would creak open and Cal would step inside, his broad shoulders filling the frame. At first I kept my responses short,polite nods, quick updates about Aurora’s day, nothing more. “She did well on her spelling quiz. She shared her snack with another student.” Professional. Safe.But Cal had a way of chipping at the walls I’d built so carefully. He’d linger, leaning against the desk with that easy half-smile, asking questions that pulled more than one-word answers from me.“Rough day?” he asked on Tuesday, watching Aurora carefully pack her clay wolf into her backpack like it was made of glass.I shrugged, wiping down the whiteboard. “Not really. Just long. You know how it is with twenty-five six-year-olds.”He chuckled, low and warm. “I can barely handle one. You’ve got superpowers, Jolene.”The compliment landed softly, unexpected. I felt my cheeks warm despite mysel

  • The Unchosen Mate    Chapter 16

    We spent the next thirty minutes playing simple games while we waited.Aurora showed me her drawings and I helped her finish a puzzle.Then somehow we ended up building tiny animals out of modeling clay.She made what was supposed to be a wolf.It looked more like a potato with ears but I told her it was beautiful.She looked very pleased with herself.The classroom felt strangely peaceful.For the first time since returning to Crove Pack, I wasn't thinking about my past.I wasn't thinking about Seth, I wasn't thinking about the night that changed everything, I was just sitting on the floor helping a little girl build a clay wolf.The classroom door suddenly opened.Aurora's face lit up."Uncle Cal!"I looked up and then froze.Not because it was Cal, but because it wasn't the Cal I remembered.The last time I'd seen him, he had been eighteen years old.After their graduation. He was loud,reckless,always laughing,and always causing trouble. But.....The man standing in my doorway looke

  • The Unchosen Mate    Chapter 15

    Jolene The next morning, I stood in front of my bathroom mirror longer than necessary while brushing my teeth.Not because I was fixing my hair or trying to choose an outfit.I was thinking about a seven-year-old girl.Which was ridiculous.I had been teaching for years. Children got attached to teachers all the time, especially younger ones. It wasn't unusual.What was unusual was the fact that Aurora King was Seth's daughter.Every time I thought about it, I saw those gray eyes.His eyes.The same eyes I had spent half my teenage years daydreaming about.I rinsed my mouth and stared at my reflection."Get it together, Jolene."Aurora hadn't done anything wrong.She was a child.A sweet child.Whatever feelings I had toward her father had absolutely nothing to do with her.I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs.Mom was already making breakfast."Morning."She looked up from the stove."Morning. You look tired.""I was thinking.""That's usually dangerous."I rolled my eyes and grab

    Jolene Seven Years Later"Miss Falls, do you have to leave?"I looked down at Noah's small pout and tried not to smile too hard."I do," I said, crouching beside his desk."But that doesn’t mean the world is ending""It feels like it," he muttered,goodness, he is so cute.Across the classroom, sev

    By the time I got home, exhaustion sat heavily in my bones.The porch light was already on.Aunt Clara opened the door before I even reached it."You’re late.""There was a goodbye dinner." She stepped aside to let me in before immediately pulling me into a hug.I melted into it quietly.My aunt h
