I felt annoyance prickle underneath my skin as soon as I walked into the cafe and noticed him immediately.
It was like since last night, the universe was punishing me by making me constantly see him and the day has barely finished. He was sitting at a table with a bunch of other humans and my mouth curled up in disgust. My wolf however, was the happiest right now cause he gets to stare at the human now.
"Are we gonna eat?" Kade, one of the people I hang out with lazily drawled beside me and I swore internally, just as his eyes followed my line of sight, then he snorted.
"Ah, isn't that the human I heard spilled coffee on you yesterday? A lot of people were talking about it in the dorms and quite a large number of people betted that he wouldn't survive the night, were you aware of that?" He asked out beside me and I stiffened for a moment.
While they were all betting over the probability that I might kill him last night, I was out saving him instead.
A wave of irritation came over me at once.
Why did I even let my stupid wolf talk me into that? Saving people was something I've never done before, nor have I ever felt the need to. Being used to nothing but pain since childhood, I grew up learning to care for myself and no one else.
My eyes focused on the human. He was eating his food, seeming like he was in pain from the winces crossing his face every now and then.
Did he get hurt last night? Not that it's any of my concern.
"No, Kade. I have better things to do than keep up with dumb stuff like that. Everyone betting should find something better to do."
Kade let out a low laugh. "But it's fun doing that, cause no one can predict you." He pointed out and I rolled my eyes.
I suddenly didn't wanna eat here right now because of the human, which was ridiculous cause this is just his actual first day here in this school and he's already gotten under my skin this bad.
Since last night, I was unable to stop thinking about him, about his scent and most importantly, why that bite mark had healed up last night. I skipped class to go dig in the library for a book that might be able to explain the reason behind that bite mark instantly healing up with just a drop of my spit. I was returning from the library, annoyed that he was all that I was thinking about— which was why it angered me so much when he ran into me again today.
All this annoying inconvenience is because of my stupid wolf. I'd not be feeling this pricking feeling underneath my skin from just staring at him if I had refused to help last night.
I turned around and exited the cafe, my head starting to pound. Kade fell into my side, his hands in his pockets as he spoke.
"If you're gonna kill, whenever you decide to do that, at least hold off until I have a little fun with him first."
I stiffened, facing Kade sharply.
"What?" I echoed, and he grinned.
"He has a nice ass and he's pretty despite the rags he wears. I noticed him in class today. You know pretty boys are my type… so even if you'll still end up killing him, can you hold off a little until I get a taste?"
As I stared at Kade, I suddenly felt irritated as hell.
And I wouldn't call it homophobia cause I've always known he was into dudes since the beginning and I never cared.
Everyone is free to fuck anyone they wanted and it was no concern of mine.
But right now, I felt annoyed the more his words replayed in my head. He was staring at me patiently for a response.
"Yeah, whatever. Do whatever you want." I blurted out before turning away from him, ignoring the loud growl my wolf let out within me.
But I ignored him.
Kade grinned, clearly pleased by my response. "You rock, man,"
Since I still felt irritated, I only grunted as we kept walking. I was starving right now but I was in no mood to return back to the cafe and get greeted with the sight of that boy again.
Besides, I was yet to go through that book I got from the library today, I'll check it out once I'm back in my room.
"There's this party, Finn is throwing it. Are you gonna show up?" Kade's voice pulled me back to the present and I glanced at him before rolling my eyes.
"I don't know."
I wasn't sure I was in the mood to party, and besides, these people would rather I don't attend their parties but of course they'd never utter those words out loud.
"You should, man. It's gonna be wild and fun." He urged but I just kept walking.
My wolf was snarling within me in anger and I focused on him again.
"What is it, Sky?" I asked him in my mind and he glared daggers at me.
"Warn your useless lycanthrope friend to not touch our human."
I let out a frustrated sigh. "Sky, how many times do I have to say this? The human isn't ours and kade can have whatever fun he wants with the human even if he wants to." I informed him firmly through our mind link. Thankfully since the promise last night, he's yet to sneak out yet.
"If he puts a finger on our human, I'll tear his throat out." Sky warned darkly.
