Interesting does even cover it

I go back to my locker, not looking at her, and shrug. “Oh you know. Same ol’ same ol’ with the alpha. Just using my lack of sleep as a way to try and get me into the pack.” I know that wasn’t what he was doing, Ness and I truly believed the concern was genuine which doesn’t make me hate him less.

“Uhhh. Try again sister. I know what I saw and you NEVER let Nate get that close to you.” She says pointedly.

“Nate?” I say back, looking at her now. “Since when do you refer to him as Nate?” I know that I am angrier than I should be, but I also know that there aren’t many people he lets call him by that nickname. He wants to keep the separation between pack and alpha. He has to keep the line between classmate and alpha clear.

Now it’s Melody’s turn to shrug, but I can see the guilt behind her eyes. “I don’t know, last week or something…” Her eyes don’t meet mine and I know that there is more to this.

I shut my locker and cross my arms over my chest. “Since last week Mel? What happened last week?” I’m trying to keep my anger in check here. Mel doesn’t know that he’s my mate, but she also doesn’t know that he isn’t her’s. She hasn’t turned 18 yet so in her mind there is still a chance.

“Listen, babe.” She starts, trying to put on her ‘gives no shits, everything is cool’ fasade so that I don’t see through her.

Even if I couldn’t feel people’s emotions, I would know what was going on with her. Mel has been my best friend since my first day of school.

May had dropped me off and the secretary took me to my first class. I was six and hadn’t been around other kids before so I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into, but the first one to walk up to me that day was Mel. Deep brown eyes with chocolate brown hair to match and a smile, fully loaded with two adorable dimples, that would prove to get her out of every bad situation she put herself in.

She strides above me at about 5’7 and has curves that have all the guys and girls begging. She’s a killer at softball and loves to lift weights, she says it makes her feel even more like a badass than she already is.

Melody is also super confident in herself but not in away that makes her self-centered, just in away that makes her not give a shit about what other people say about her. One of the many reasons she is my best friend.

“Don’t babe me, Melody. Just tell me.” I say sternly.

“Damn, full name okay.” She huffs and finally looks up at me.

“I had coffee with him, okay?”

“Annnd?” I retort.

“And, that’s it.” She says, like I should know what all went down.

I roll my eyes and pray for the patience. “Mel, you gotta give me more then that. Did you ask him, did he ask you? Did he SAY you could call him Nate?”

“I asked him… and not exactly. He didn’t SAAAY it, but he also doesn’t get coffee with just anyone, so I figured it was implied.”

I really consider homing into her emotions, but I don’t like the idea of manipulating my best friend. It’s not fair because she can’t do the same, and I feel like it is a violation of her trust. 

“Listen,” I say calmly, putting my hands on top of her shoulders. “I love you, and I am glad that you had the confidence to ask him for coffee. I am assuming that he was nice, otherwise the whole seeing him just now would have gone a lot different. However,” I start, and she rolls her eyes.

“Yeah yeah,” she says, “I know, I shouldn’t call him that until he explicitly invites me to.”

I rub her should before letting go, placing my hands on the straps of my backpack. “I know that he seems like a good alpha, but I don’t want you getting hurt.”

“I still don’t understand why you won’t join the pack.” She pouts.

“And on that note, I am heading to class.” I give her a two-finger salute and turn to go the other direction.

“Well Ness, that was an interesting start to our day.” I say, already tired and ready to go home.

She snorts back at me, “Interesting doesn’t even cover it.”

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   Mates

    They’re coming this way. They’re coming this way. “Nessa…” I have to say it out loud. I have to know if this moment is real or if it’s something I’m making up in my head. A coping mechanism, a way to protect myself from the inevitable hurt to come. ‘Listen Roo.’ She says to me so softly, but my heart is pounding too fast and my breathing is too ragged and too short. I can’t hear anything but the blood pumping to the beat of feet pounding. “Nessa.” I say again. More firm because I need her to wake me up, to tell me that this is all a dream and ease the heartbreak. But she says nothing. “NESSA, PLEASE.” I all but collapse when I see two figures running straight towards me. ‘I’m letting go now, Roo. It’s time.’ And I can feel her starting to release her hold on the mate bond. The mask we have kept all this time to keep us safe. “Wait. WAIT. Nessa, don…” but before the words come out the figures come to a halt just ten feet from me, and I can feel the final release of our hold. “Ro

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   Are you ready?

    I’m gunna throw up. Or pass out.I’m standing outside the Beowulf house waiting for Nate and Ren. Their party has already started in the woods and its an hour until midnight. An hour until they are officially 18. An hour until everyone finds out that we are mates. Everyone except the three of us.I look up to the magnificently sculpted home, but my thoughts drift back to last night.“I just want you.” Nate whispers to me. My heart is bursting at the seams. I have never seen or heard him be so vulnerable, admitting the way he has always felt, that he was a virgin and waited for me, the girl he believed to be his mate when he had no proof, just the belief that his heart would steer him in the right direction. “I know.” I whispered back. Nate smirks a little and I realize what he thinks, so I slowly shake my head and slowly remove myself from between the two men I was already falling so hard for. I stand at the edge of my bed and look at those two men, now seated at the head of my bed

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   IT'S TOO MUCH

    ‘Nessa, what do I do?’ I hadn’t made it but a few steps into the forest before I asked her.‘Let it out Roo. Tell me everything.’She barely gets the words out before I vomit it all out.‘How did this happen, Ness? One minute I am so sure of the path I am going to take, refusing to join a pack, and hating Nate. And now I’m calling him Nate and not Nathaniel, and there is another alpha, whom I am also the mate of, who is so different from his brother. And then there is Camilla, and the fact that she is also a white wolf? I mean, what are the chances? Their parents adopt a white wolf, they are mates with a white wolf. Alpha twins, white wolves. I mean this is all so crazy!’I take a moment to breathe before more word vomit comes out.‘…and on top of it all I have just over 12 hours until they w

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   THE NIGHT BEFORE

    “You’re a white wolf?” Nate asks me. He looks so sad, so defeated, so hurt.“Ren.” I look to the warrior twin, the one who had spied on me, the one who had known my secret before I could tell him. “Why don’t you go check on Camilla.”He looks at me, hurt in his eyes too. I just can’t seem to win today. “Please?” I plead with him.I can feel Nate’s eyes still on me, and I can feel Ren’s hesitancy to leave us.“Yea, okay.” He says before turning around and walking out the door without a glance back to us.I turn to look at Nate and go to grab his hand, but he pulls back from me.“Roo, no.” He starts, but I reach out again.“Come with me? Let’s talk.” I take a deep breath and try to let my shield

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   More Confessions

    “So, what’s going on in here?” Nate says as he comes through the front door of Camilla’s little house. “Yea!” Ren says, “You’ve been hogging her long enough, little miss.” Both of the guys have a big grin on their face, and I look over to see Camilla has a matching one. “Look Roo!” She says standing up. “It’s Renny and Nate Nate!” she giggles as she runs to her brothers. They each take turns picking her up, tickling her, and giving her smooches all over her face. My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. They are so good with her and it’s obvious how much they love her and she them. “Hey there.” Nate says to me, walking over to where I am sitting on one of Camilla’s big comfy chairs. We had been reading one of my favorite books when the guys walked in. “Hi.” I say back with a smile, and Nate leans down to kiss the top of my head. “I missed you.” He says so quietly. I know we can all hear, but the gesture implied it was only for me.

  • The White Wolf: A she-wolf exception to all the rules   JUST LIKE YOURS

    It’s been a week and a half since I told Nate about Nessa. We’ve been doing that weird dating thing that the guys suggested and it seems to be working out okay for the most part. They both are at my house to wake me up in the morning and have helped themselves to my kitchen. The day after our discussion they showed up at the ass crack of dawn, bags of groceries in hand only to find that my kitchen was already fully stocked. Ren did bring more of that coffee that I love so much, so I sipped on that while I watched them try to figure out what to do with all the supplies they brought. Nate ended up driving about half of what they had brought back to their place, stating he would bring it back when we started to run out of things. I just rolled my eyes because it would take months to run out, but whatever, this was their show. Though it thought it would bother me, I didn’t mind having someone else cook for me. It was nice that all I had to do in the morning was worry abo
