After a couple of months had passed, Nina stopped greeting me each day, knowing I would not
respond. Now in high school, she had become a loner. Keeping to herself in class, and went to the
library at recess and lunch.
May would elbow me and glare if she caught me staring at Nina, but then again, she would always get
jealous and cranky at any girl
glanced at
‘Stop elbowing me, May,’ I growl.
‘Stop staring at Nina then. You haven’t spoken to her in seven years, yet you are always staring at her.
Besides, you should just be focusing your attention on me. Everyone knows we will be mates,’ she
beams.
‘Not if I can help it.’
‘Your such an ass Magnus,’ she growls
‘Yes, I’m told daily by many girls I have a nice ass,’ I smirk.
‘Who is telling you that? I demand to know their names right now,’ she says, glaring at every female in
the classroom.
‘May, you need to get over it.’
‘No, you need to get over Nina!’
Iglare at May, making her cower back in her seat.
‘I can’t get over someone I was never into in the first place,’ I snap
May crosses her arms and looks away. We spend the last ten minutes of maths in silence. As soon as
the bell rings, she clings onto my arm as if we never argued, smiling as we make our way to the
cafeteria.
| sit at the popular table that is reserved for myself and my friends. Zak, Trixie, and Flint join me at my
table along with our school friends, Paul and Claire.
Biting into my salad roll, I watch as Nina walks in and takes her seat in the far corner. Meanwhile,
nearly every female is trying to grab my attention.
Claire places her hand on my shoulder and sits next to me.
‘Hey, Magnus,’
“Hi, Claire,’ I say and continue to eat my roll.
‘So, I’m having a party on Saturday and wanted to invite you along.
‘Oh, a party!’ Trixie butts in.
‘Okay,’ I mumble.
‘Great! I, um, was also hoping you would come to the party as um my date?’ she says nervously.
1 stare at her in thought. She is one of the most beautiful girls at school. She has nice long legs, and a
decent-sized bust with long red hair and green eyes. Thinking of how gorgeous she is, I somehow
stared back at Nina again. With her long brown hair, stunning brown eyes, a petite figure, I could easily
wrap my arms around and lift her with one hand. I wonder what her hair smells like. Does her skin feel
as smooth as it looks?
Wait… why am I thinking of Nina this way? I cut her out of my life years ago for a reason, so why am I
so curious about her? Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever gone a day without thinking of
her….
‘Um, excuse me, Claire, you can’t just ask him out when he is already claimed,’ May growls.
Magnus is a free man, May, you two aren’t dating and just because you think you are his mate doesn’t
mean you will be.’
Zak, Trixie, and Flint, back away from the table just in time as May leaps towards Claire. A fight breaks
out between them and I sigh in disbelief.
Everyone in the Cafeteria crowd around them and all chant ‘Fight, fight, fight, fight!’
Nina rushes towards the crowd and sees Claire is winning the fight. I go to pull them apart, but Nina
jumps in front of May to protect her.
“Nina, what are you doing?’ May yell as she touches the deep scratch across her cheek.
“Stopping you from getting seriously injured.’
I don’t need a freak like you to protect me,’ she yells.
The cafeteria suddenly goes quiet and all eyes are on Nina. I see deep sadness for a moment that she
quickly hides.
“Claire is beating the crap out of you with ease and no one else seems to want to save your ass,’ she
says, then looks at me.
I look away, avoiding eye contact.
Yeah, well, I bet I could beat the crap out of you with ease,’ she yells and as she lunges towards Nina,
Igrab May around the waist and pull her back into my chest before she could hurt Nina.
That’s enough, all of you,’ I growl fiercely for everyone to hear. Everyone submits and lowers their
heads. ‘Trixie, take May to the nurse’s office to get check her wounds checked out and cleaned up,’
May smiles and looks up at me as if she has fallen in love with me even more. Of course, I care about
May, but not in the way she wants me to. Right now, I just want her out of here and away from Nina
before she tries to hurt her again. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
‘Everyone, get back to lunch!’ I yell. Everyone returns to their tables except for Nina, who remains
standing there staring at me. As l’ m about to sit down, she takes a few steps towards me.
‘I know you don’t want to hear my voice or even look at me, but I just wanted to say Thank you, for
stopping her, as much as she hates me, she is still my sister and I could never fight her or hurt her,’ My
eyes against my will, instantly connect with hers. Her innocent eyes remind me of a fawn about to be
eaten by a wolf. My eyes trail down her smooth skin, past her small nose, and to her lips. I wonder…
how sweet her lips would taste…
‘Magnus?’ Claire says. I shake my head at my thoughts. I need to stop thinking about Nina and move
on if I’m going to be the best Alpha that everyone will respect and admire. Stepping closer to Claire, I
ignore Nina and caress the red mark on Claire’s cheek.
“Are you okay?” I ask Claire.
Nina slumps and walks away.
I’m fine, she only slapped me once,’
I watch Nina’s back as she continues to walk away. Maybe if I date Claire, I’ll stop thinking about her?
Claire?
“Yes, Magnus?
I didn’t have time to answer your question.’ I smile.
I can see Zak, Trixie, Pauls, and Flint’s faces watching on in anticipation.
I would love to be your date for the party’
Everyone in the cafeteria stops what they are doing and stares at Claire and me in shock.
Disappointment and heartbreak etch into the faces of all the females
Seriously You will be my date?
Inod my head She jumps up and wraps her arms around me, squealing with delight. I gently place her
back down,
Zak, Flint, and I finish our lunch, then run some laps around the oval. The bell goes, and it’s time for
science class,
As we walk through the corridor to science, I am met with a furious May
‘Magnus Why am I hearing that you are going to Claire’s dumb party as her date?
‘Because I accepted her offer,’ I say, then step around her to continue to class
May runs back in front of me and places her hand on my chest I took down at her hand, then back at
her with a scowl.
Magnus, you can’t do this to me, to us. We should be together. Thave always had feelings for you and I
know it’s because we will be mates. If you go on this date with Claire, you would be practically
cheating,’ she sobs
It’s not cheating and I highly doubt we will be mates, May.’
‘You don’t know that we won’t be mates!’
‘Well, you don’t know we will be mates, only the Moon goddess knows’
A hurt look crosses her face,
*Please Magnus, you can’t ditch me for Claire My reputation will be destroyed,’
‘Is that all you care about May, your reputation? How people will see you? You should spend that time
with people that care about you and want to be around you. It should never matter what anyone else
thinks of you,’ I say and storm oll into science class, running late because of May I walk inside the room
and a strange feeling runs through my body as I see the only vacant seatis next to Nina
