Jayla

Gulping, I turn around to see Tyler standing there with a signature smirk on his face. My heart starts beating fast and I throw a panicked glance at the door. It was locked. And Tyler was standing in front of it like a freaking guard dog.

Dammit.

I try to push him aside. "Move, I want to go out!" I say but he doesn't even budge.

Instead he grabs my arms and pins me beside the wall. I gasp and start struggling against his hold. What's with him and pinning me against walls?

"What is your problem? Let go of me! I don't want to talk to you!"

He growls and just tightens his hold. "Stop struggling!"

I don't. Instead I start struggling even more. "Let go of me, Tyler. You're hurting me!" I cry, tugging my arms from his hold.

His eyes softens immediately and he lets go of my arms. Instead he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me flush against his body.

I'm so close to him again. The faint line of the closet casts a shadow on his face and I notice how beautifully thick and long his eyelashes looks. I'm transfixed. Again.

This is the first time you've said my name," he whispers. I feel his warm breath on my face and blush.

It starts from my neck all the way up to my cheeks, till I'm sure my face is burning like no tomorrow. His thumb runs across my cheek as he caresses my skin and I close my eyes, leaning towards him.

"I just want answers," he whispers. "Are you really going out with him?"

My eyes open and I look at him indifferently. Is he dumb? "That's none of your business," I say. "You yourself said at the party that you hate me and that you will have nothing to do with me. Did you forget that?"

His eyes hardens and he clenches his jaw. "But that doesn't change the fact that you're my mate," he growls out, emphasising on the words 'my mate'.

I feel a tug in my heart when he says it but I ignore that. My heart needs to be tamed. "So?" I say challengingly, crossing my arms across my chest.

"What you do mean by 'so'?" he asks frustratedly and I smirk, enjoying his misery. "I mean so what if you're my mate?"

He gives me a stern look. "This is not funny, okay? You know what it means."

"Really? Do I?"

He growls in frustration and once again pins me against the wall with both of his hands on either side of my body.

"Yes, you do," he whispers, his face dangerously close to mine.

I suck in a deep breath when his fingers touch my lower lip. He rubs his thumb over it and speaks. "I won't like to see you with other guys. I won't allow it. You're mine. They're not allowed to touch you in any way." The last line comes out as a growl and I gasp in shock.

"But he's my best friend!" I reason, ignoring the tingles in my body that approves him calling me his.

He shoots me a are-you-kidding-me look. "Oh, really? Are you sure about it?"

I nod and he groans. "Fuck! You have to be blind to not see how that guy looks at you. It's like you're the centre of his universe or something. And if you act like this, it will just fuel his desires and motives. Do you think I don't notice? He was all over you today. And I won't allow that. You're my mate. Not his!"

I'm seething by the end of this. "You have no right to order me around like this!" I scream, pushing him away. I suddenly feel suffocated by him.

I continue. "You're my mate too, but did that stop you from going out with every other whore out there?" I ask accusingly. "No? Then you can't stop me about going out with someone, too."

I'm breathing heavily now. My chest moves up and down due to my temper but he doesn't take it the way I want him to.

Instead of saying he is sorry, he smirks at me triumphanty and a smug look comes over his face. "Are you jealous?" he asks, and I almost slap him right there and then.

I clench my jaw. "No," I say confidently.

I duck in between his arms and successfully wriggle my way out of his hold. I unlock the door with my wolf speed and escape as fast as I can.

I can hear him calling my name from behind but I don't turn around. I don't turn around because my face is tear streaked now.

The fact that he didn't deny rejecting me didn't go unnoticed by me.

***

I park my bike in the garage and walk inside my home.

"I'm home," I whisper lowly.

I take a quick glance at the mirror to confirm I don't look like I was crying. I don't want to worry my parents.

It's funny how when we're kids, we want our parents to know that we're crying. But as we grow up, we hide it from them. We try to lick our wounds alone. What makes us do this? It's something I've never understood.

"Jayla!" myy mom's voice says from inside the kitchen and she comes out rushing.

"Oh my God, Jayla! You're home! You're a whole ten minutes late! Are you okay? Did something happen? Did you eat properly? Is everything thing okay? Oh God! Why aren't you answering!" she gushes, hugging me and fussing about my late arrival

I chuckle at her and my insides warms up at the affection. I shake my head and give her hand a squeeze. "I'm okay," I say.

I'm not but she smiles, convinced. She nods and goes back to the kitchen to get me something to eat.

On the way though, she turns around and says, "Oh, and I forgot to tell you something, honey."

"Yeah?" I ask.

"There's a party at the pack house tomorrow. Your father and I got an invitation. I don't think I'll be able to go, but he wants you to attend it."

I frown. "What is this party for?" Or in other words, who is this party for?

Mother smiles. "Remember Gamma Morgan?"

I nod, my body filling with pride and respect for the one who laid down his life for our pack and it's safety. "Of course. How can anyone forget him?" I say, my head slightly bowed in respect.

Her smile turns into a grin. "Well, his son has trained fully in Texas and is coming back tomorrow to take over the Gamma position as a legacy and responsibility."

My eyebrows shoot up. "You mean..."

"Yes, Shane is coming back!" she exclaims happily and claps her hands. "I can't wait to be able to call him over for dinners after tomorrow's party! It will be just like old times!"

She keeps gushing about how we might be mates and how excited she is to meet him again, but I tune her out as my mind tries to process the newfound information.

Shane Morgan, the Gamma heir and my childhood crush is coming back for good. Mom knows how big of a crush I used to have on him. He is two years older than me, but ever since he saved me from bullies in elementary school, I was a goner.

He is the only boy I've ever liked and my only crush till he left three years ago to train, after his father's death. He loved his father more than anything and anyone. He looked up to him. And that's the reason why his death killed a part of Shane forever.

Suddenly, the fun-loving, happy go lucky guy I used to know turned cold and serious. It was like the harsh reality of life slapped on his face and he was determined to avenge his father's death and work for the pack with the same passion as his father.

In no time, he left for training and never looked behind. I never saw him after that. I know he didn't forget our friendship, he just chose the pack responsibilities over everything else and for that, I respect him.

My crush for him has faded over the years. I grew up. But now he's coming back. And I'm worried.

Just when I thought this couldn't get worse.

    JaylaTHREE MONTHS LATERI smile brightly just as Jessica and Anna enter into the dressing room. Today is the coronation of the new Alpha, and by the new Alpha, I mean Jasper. And me, Anna and Jessica are all dressing up in preparation for the ceremony. After Jasper apologized to us that fateful day three months ago, we observed him and noticed that he had truly changed just as he said. So we forgave him, welcoming him back into our fold permanently, and he has soon proved himself. He has been nothing but supportive to all of us in our friend group and he was the one that got Jessica's mate, Hunter settled in when he finally moved here. Jess was given the title of Head of the pack warriors after her father so her mate decided to move here because of her importance in the pack. I was actually surprised that he did something like that but it only goes to show how devoted he is to Jess. After the new head warrior was crowned, the Beta and the Beta Female were also crowned which is Tyl

  • Unwanted By The Beta   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE - A VERY SINCERE APOLOGY

    JaylaJasper closes the door of the car and steps out completely, walking towards where we are. He stops in front of us, looking from one person to the other while he still doesn't say a word.No one among us sitting on the blankets even open our mouths to speak. We just stare at him as he stares at us and the tension in the air begins to rise, blanketing all of us with its thickness. Then Shane — ever the do-gooder — chooses to speak. "Good day, Alpha," he says with a slight bow of the head. Shane feels that even though he is older than Jasper, Jasper still remains his Alpha and he has to be submissive to him, which is why he bows almost every time he greets Jasper. Then Anna, following Shane's lead greets too and very soon, all the others start to greet Jasper. Before I know what is happening, Jessica and Hunter greet Jasper and even Tyler grunts out a greeting to his former best friend.I am the only one left to greet Jasper, the Alpha but I don't budge despite the looks I get f

    TylerIt is weekend already and I am glad. The whole school week has been so hectic so I am happy that is finally weekend. That way everyone can get to rest and that is exactly what we are doing now. Me, Jayla, Jessica and her mate, Hunter, Shane and Anna are all here together and I can say that we are already having a good time despite the fact that we just got here. Jessica's mate has been here for about three days and we haven't really hung out. He has just been going out with Jess whenever she has time. So we all decided to come out today and blow a bit of steam from the past week especially since Jessica and Jayla were planning a big hangout for all of us on the day that Jessica's mate arrived at this pack. Everyone here is all smiles and since we just got here, we haven't really had the chance to order food yet. But we have ordered drinks so we sip on that as everyone engage in conversations. I can see that everyone is happy. This is how it is supposed to be. We are suppose

  • Unwanted By The Beta   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE - A SURPRISE VISIT

    JaylaI am standing under a leafy oak tree in the school compound. But the shade the tree provides is the last thing on my mind right now. Other important things are occupying my mind at the moment. It's been about thirty minutes since Jessica was called to the principal's office and she hasn't come out yet. Frankly, I am getting worried more and more with each minute that passes. I just hope she is okay. I hope she hasn't gotten into any trouble. But why would she even get into trouble? She hasn't done anything wrong according to school standards. I just hope she comes out very soon. I am lost in my thoughts so much that I am startled by the sound of someone calling my name."Jayla!" the person calls out and I shake before turning around to see who it is. I see Jessica walking towards me and beside her is a handsome young guy with blond hair. The guy doesn't look familiar and I can immediately tell that he is not from around this place. Also, his skin is slightly darker than even

  • Unwanted By The Beta   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO - A LOVELY PIECE OF NEWS

    JaylaIt is Tuesday and the day I resume school after my three day suspension. The time away from school did me well, and I can say that I am energetic and more relaxed now. Our final exams are around the corner and I feel confident that I will do well in them and come out in flying colors.I don't even want to come out in flying colors alone; I want to graduate at the top of my class. And I will. I will make sure of that. The first three classes of the day is over so me and Jess are walking down the hallway while we talk about what we want to do after school today. "I think all of us should go out to a diner and hangout," Jess says. "It's been long we have all gone out and done something like that. What do you think, Jay?""It sounds great. We should do it. But I am not sure it would work today, though. It will be at such a short notice and the others might not be up for it," I say."Okay. So we will have it either tomorrow or the day after. We will have to inform everyone today so

  • Unwanted By The Beta   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ONE - FORMER FRIENDS

    TylerShane and I have been sitting here for about half an hour just playing games. Jessica left not long after Jayla left for her house. She said her father needed her to do something for him so she really had to go. Anna had said she had to go home so Shane had to see her off. I noticed that he spent a very long time before he came back so I know they talked for a while. I have been observing Shane and Anna these past few days and I can tell that there is something between them. I can see it in their eyes that they have feelings for each other even though they are not mates. But both of them have been denying having feelings for each other. All the times that I have asked Shane about it, he has always denied it. But I won't relent. I will keep asking and pestering him till he admits that he has feelings for her. She is the type of girl he needs and they complement each other. In fact, they are perfect for each other. One would wonder why I am so interested in Shane's affairs si
