Life After the Storm

chapter 2

As we are walking up to school, I start to detect an enchanting smell. I start to freak out and run away from it terrified who it is. I'm just not ready for this. I just can't. I don't want this day to be the worst day ever if I get rejected. I find my brother and he pushes me away. He is with his group of buddies. I just run to class, hoping I am not being followed. I have always been good at school, not really sure why, but always came too easily to me. Class is ready to start I'm, so Thankfully I just need to do what I'm good at not worrying about what is happening outside of class. When class finishes, I smell it again, and I inhale the smell it is like I think heaven would be. I can't explain it like the forest, the wilderness, what I would imagine it to smell like.

Suddenly, I feel a grip around my arm. Next thing I know I'm being pulled along, I get shoved into an empty classroom. I look into his beautiful gray eyes. He is so tall he towers over me, his dark brown hair almost looks black. My body is going numb to his touch loving the way he makes me feel. Wanting him to kiss my lips oh my god his lips look so delicious I can feel the power radiating off him, not sure what is about to happen. That dream is short-lived when he starts to speak even though I love watching his lip move with his stern tone.

“I don't want you as my mate. I already have a Luna and soon to be wife. I don't want you.”

“So are you rejecting me then?”

“No, I'm an Alpha. I will need an heir, so I will have to mate with you and create one when I decide I'm ready for that. I'll come back for you so you can give me one.”

“I won't just give my child away, it will be mine too. I deserve better than that.”

“Little girl, I don't care what you deserve, but you don't have a choice, do you understand me.”

“You're not the boss of me, please move, so I can leave.”

“I'll come for you when I'm ready.”

He walks out, I run in a different direction than him, I go into the girl's bathroom. Trying to deal with all that just happened disappointed that he doesn't want me feeling so defeated. I would have rather just gotten rejected. What am I going to tell my parents, obviously the truth ? I have never lied to them. I don't know what to do as I walk out the hall I just continue like it's just any other day. I really don't have friends for what reason, not really sure if I have just always kept to myself my brother is a social butterfly. I can't wait until I hear the bell to get out of here. I just want to go home.

I will not tell my family about what has happened. I don't want to ruin our perfect day at wicked falls really looking forward to it this every year especially after what just happened running in the woods so freely just feels amazing. The falls are so beautiful it's the only fall in Alaska that the water doesn't freeze which is crazy. I haven't seen my brother all day, so I am uncertain if he was able to find his mate today or not, but he will be able to see the sadness in my eyes. I just hope he just doesn't care.

I am just coming in and out not really paying attention to anything the Teacher is saying because I really just don't care to be honest. I need to figure out a way to be able to deal with this whole mate situation. I am not just going to let him use me for breeding purposes he must be insane. Hating myself because of how his touch affects my body, wishing I had no reaction to him, but that would be a lie. If I knew his name, I would just reject him, but I have never seen him before.

I walk out of the bathroom and go to my locker. My brother runs up to me with a girl. She is beautiful. She has red hair and beautiful blue eyes.

“Lilly this is my mate Sky.”

I can't hold it in. I try not to cry, but I can't help it. I take off into the ladies room, go into a stall and shut the door as I begin to cry. I hear my brother calling out to me.

“I'm coming in if you don't come out Lilly, what is going on, what happened?”

“My mate doesn't want me, he won't reject me because he will need an heir because he is an Alpha. He wants to use me to breed a pup for him.”

“I'm sorry sis it will be ok you will always have me to drive you crazy enough right. You don't want to be with a mate that doesn't love you back.”

“I came out of the stall. I'm not sure what I would do without you, I love you brother.”

“You would be lost without me now come out and meet my mate. She truly is amazing.”

“I would be totally lost without you. Thank you for coming after me.”

"Lilly your my sister I always will come after you know matter what.

"Thank you Landon now lets go so you can interduce me to your mate."

Lilly this is Sky my mate. Sky this is my annoying sister Lilly. He laughs as push him I'm starting feel better now.

"Lilly do you care if Sky comes with us to Wicked Falls after school.”

“I think that's a great idea now that she is a part of our family she could join our traditions.”

“So who is your mate?”

“I don't even know his name. I just know that he is an Alpha, but I don't know or care, let's not talk about it please.”

“Okay, we don't have to today since it's our birthday, but I will be here if you need to talk.”

So as we walk out of school I'm excited for what is about to come I know that my parents are going to ask about my mate not knowing what I'm going to tell them I have never lied to my parents and I don't plan on it, but I don't want to talk about the truth of what all happened today. My brother runs up to the car first he is probably asking if it is okay if Sky goes with us to Wicked Falls. It will be a little difficult I will admit, but I am so excited for my brother. I'm happy that he found his mate and she accepted him. My brother motions for us to come up to our parents Sky and I walk up to the vehicle, and we get in ready to go to Wicked Falls I'm so excited to get a good run in especially how today went I just want to break loose and run wild. Wicked falls is one of the places where Werewolves are allowed to go and just run or just go to exercise. It's so beautiful up there. I am so excited to go. I can't wait.
