Title: The One That Got Away
Chapter 1:
Twilight is bullshit, but they did get one thing right. But even that wasn't right. Sure, there is someone that was made for you. But they don't keep you on the Earth, they don't keep you sane. But once you see them, you know. You know you found the one, your mate. I don't want this to happen to me, I don't want to fall in love. I can't worry about love when I'm alpha.
Being in a pack means you're always on the move. This was supposed to be the last place we stopped. Ember, Jasmine, and Tanner hated moving around so we're stopping here. I think it'll be a good thing, a break was nice. Maybe if we stayed here we'd feel normal, at least a little bit. Normal wasn't in my vocabulary, I didn't know what normal was. But maybe I'd feel it if it happened. Maybe all this werewolf stuff would go to the back of my brain and I wouldn't have to worry about it.
"Finally, done," Ember lays back on our new couch. "So, what are we going to do now?" She was my best friend, we were close. But not as close as her and Jasmine, they were sisters after all. When an alpha is chosen and they form a pack, they leave their families. It was a rule, I think it's a stupid rule. I haven't seen my mom in two years and I missed her. I wonder if anyone else misses their families. Tanner was my family, but I knew he missed his parents.
"School, we're enrolling in school," I reply after clearing my thought and shoving my thoughts to the back of my brain. There's groans in response, I knew it was going to happen. "Guys, we need to act normal, normal people go to school." Though werewolves were very smart, school was the best thing for us. "The principal is also a werewolf so we should be able to get in without a problem.
Two days later and we're starting school, it was easy to get in. Walking into the school, I picked up many scents. Looks like we're not the only supernatural beings here. No one smelled like werewolf but I did pick up the scent of a vampire. Was that fairy too? Fairies smelled sweet, fairies were sweet creatures so it was only natural for their scent to match their personalities.
There's something else, something different. It smells sweet like ice cream covered in honey. But not sweet like fairy, fairy was vanilla and cotton candy. This was something I'd never smelled before, something new. "What is that smell?" I whisper to Ember. "It's sweet, like ice cream. But it's not fairy."
Ember shrugs. How could she not smell that? "Maybe it's an alpha thing," she replied.
"I'm gonna go, I have to see what that smell is." We say our goodbyes and head in opposite directions. It's getting stronger as I get closer. I look up to see a girl, a few feet away, she's at a locker. Probably hers. Then it hits me like a bus, my heart hurts. This can't be happening to me, I can't do this. Our eyes meet and my heart melts. Amy Williams has fallen hard, I have fallen hard. She's my mate and there's no denying it.
I need to know her name, I need to know who she is. No, I can't do this. But I want to. I want to go up to her and just talk to her. But I can't, I just can't. I turn away and walk quickly away. No love, no mate. I needed to keep my distance, I needed to stay the hell away from her. I couldn't do this to myself, not when I already have so much on my plate. I couldn't just fall in love now, not when there's something we're running from.
A/N: I had this idea in my head for a while. And here it is. I'm using the people from my All Grown Up in High School story. Tell me if I should continue this or not.
