Chapter 4 [ Dark Horse ]

Olivia POV

I stood patiently by the curb waiting for Parker to come pick me up, as I was lucky enough to be dismissed by Lena early today.

“ Hey Olivia. ” Sonia walked up to me.

“ Hey you. ”

“ You look tired, you should rest. ” she smiled at me as she came closer to hug me.

“ Thank you Sonia , for everything.” I whispered as she hugged her tighter.

“ It's fine, I've hardly done anything so far , you're the one who has been holding on all this time.” she smiled.

“ Arghhhhhhh fucking cringe!!! ”

We both froze as we turned to see Mason standing next to us with his hands in his pockets and his backpack dangling from his arms .

Standing next to him , I realized just how tall he was as my head was barely at his shoulders.

“ What do you want ?!?” Sonia growled as she seemed to have remembered the pressure he gave out back in class.

“ Whoa scary ” he said without emotion as his rolled his red orbs.

“ Are you two a thing ??” he asked as he bent down to match our height.

“ Huh?!?! ” Sonia said as she immediately let go of me all red.

“ Sorry, but I am not into girls ” I chuckled.

“ Huh, I could swear you two were dating ” he said as he stroked his chin staring at me.

“ Is there something on my face ??” I gulped as I found it hard to stare back at those demanding red pupils.

I began to outline his facial features as I realized that he was the perfect example of a model.

Sharp jaw line, Hunter eyes, pointed nose.

“ Fuck those eyelashes are long. ”

“ Thanks ”

Huh???

Wait did I say that out loud?!?!?

“ Seem you have a thing for mutts.”

Another voice said as we three turned to see Damien standing behind us .

God he's so hot as usual.

Wait Olivia he just called you mutt?!?!

Whatever, I'll be a mutt to him I don't care.

“ Mhmmmm... ” Mason hummed without breaking contact with me.

“ She's quite the strange one dont you think ” he finally acknowledged Damien presence as he straightened up and stared at him.

“ Don't seem to care ” Damien shrugged as he focused his gaze on Mason.

“ Whoa what's with the killer stare ?? ” Mason said as he smirked.

I'm sorry Damien but damn that smile changes my entire view about the word ' hot '

It was just a little smirk but I noticed Sonia was also affect by his charm as she was slightly blushing.

But it didn't last for a second for as fast as the smirk came it vanished as all was left was thick bloodlust.

“ Fuck !” Sonia whispered as she almost fell.

I rushed up to her to support her as I noticed even Damien was affected even though he did a good job hiding it.

“ How are you not affected?? ” Mason said as he bent over to me again stroking his chin softly.

Affected...???

By what exactly...?!?!

PAHH!!

“ Hey Dickhead!!!!!!! ”

I was freaked out for a moment as I noticed Mason tilt forward towards me due to the impact of quite a resounding slap to the back of his head.

Standing behind him was a 5'6 brunette who slightly looked like him but older and more mature.

“ Is this little brother of mine causing a nuisance??” she smiled at me as she grabbed him by the ear.

“ Owwww fuck Carmel , what did I say about hitting me ” Mason growled so deep I felt my heart vibrate.

“ What did we agree about that nasty bloodlust of yours huh???? ” She replied with a life threatening smile as she grabbed his ears tighter.

“ Let go ” Mason whispered .

“ Behave ” Carmel snapped

“ Whatever ”

“ Seems like he has a fear ” Damien chuckled as soon as Carmel let go and the bloodlust vanished completely.

“ Who is this lesser one ??” Carmel said as she turned to Damien with her cheerful smile completely absent from her beautiful face.

“ Damien Klaus of the Ember Den” Damien replied with an air of pride as he expected her to recognize his pack name at least.

“ What the hell is Ember Den ??” she said with a blank face.

Is she fucking serious right now?!?!

I gulped as I stared at her face which was devoid of fear or suprise.

“ It's not a surprise you don't know it, minors like you can't even fathom the strength of our pack. ” Damien snorts as he ran his hand through his hair.

Hot!!!!

Whattt??? Don't judge a girl for simping!!

Mason then leaded over and whispered something to Carmel for a brief second and then her face completely morphed to a smile.

But there was nothing pleasent about the smile as it was tinted with bloodlust.

“ Ohhh that Ember Den hahaha pardon my lack of courtesy to a dying pack ” she laughed.

For the first time in my life in my life I saw Damien stiffen, not out of anger but fright as he noticed a greater force standing in front of him in form of a 5'6 girl.

“ See you later dear ” Carmel winked at him as she turned and left with Mason trending behind her lazily.

Well that was all weird.

I sighed and then quickly I remembered I was holding Sonia in my arms.

“ You're heavy ” I whispered to her bringing her back from whatever trance she was.

“ Ohhh... I'm sorry ” she smiled as she straightened up.

“ Well I have to go, my driver is here” she smiled as she turned and raced off.

“ Bye ” I waved.

Wait Sonia, you don't have a driver because you live directly across the school!!!!

That sly bitch.

She purposely left me to be alone with Damien.

“ Ahemmm... ” I desperately tried to start up something.

“ Hey mutt ” he growled

“ Yes ” I found myself answering immediately

Mutt???

Arghhh you just had to answer Olivia!!

Mentally facepalming myself , I noticed he was clenching his jaws and his hands were folded into a tight fist that I'm sure there was barely any blood flowing through.

I hope I'm safe ...

“ Don't you dare say a word about what happened today. If I dare hear a word about it, I'll make your life and that of your pack more miserable that it currently is. ”

With that he turned and gave me quite a threatening look before leaving.

I hate my life.
