“Okay good, we can go sit with Celeste and her friends.” She said as she started walking towards the table that my beautiful mate sat at. Just hearing her name had a funny feeling erupting in my chest but I would never admit that to anybody. I sighed and followed Perrie over to the table. When we neared them I heard that Seth and Lela were having a conversation while Celeste was picking at her untouched food.
As soon as the three of them heard us sit down there heads snapped towards us and they fell silent.
“Hey Celeste. Oh I hope you don’t mind Xander and I sitting at your table.” Perrie said cheerfully as she looked towards Celeste.
“Oh no it’s fine, I mean you are my cousin right?” Celeste said with an obviously fake smile plastered on her face. I know that Celeste doest like Perrie and its mainly my fault, I do feel bad about that but there’s really nothing I can do about it. Perrie turned towards Seth and Lela and introduced herself.
“I don’t think we’ve met before, I’m Perrie.” She said. I wasn’t interested in there conversation anymore so I turned all of my attention towards Celeste. She was currently listening to Perries conversation with her friends and totally unaware that I was staring at her. Everything about this girl is amazing and I can’t help but to stare when I’m around her. I loved the way that her dark black hair fell in loose curls framing her beautiful face and those gorgeous blue eyes of hers, I could get lost in.
I know that’s its not fair for me to sit here and think about how amazing she is when I’ve done nothing except hurt her but there’s a reason that I do what I do. I don’t flaunt those girls around in front of her to hurt her and I most definitely didn’t practically reject her to hurt her, even though that’s all I accomplished by it, I do it to protect her. I do it to keep her safe, because if she was with me she wouldn’t be safe. There would be so many dangers to her and I just can’t risk that.
I suddenly felt a pair of eyes on me and when I looked to my right I saw that Celeste was peeking at me from behind her hair. We made eye contact and she immediately snapped her eyes away from me. A small smile found its way to my lips and it was soon replaced by a cocky smirk when I noticed that she was the color of a tomato. I low chuckle escaped my lips because of how absolutely adorable she is.
Deciding to be a bastard I placed a large hand on her upper thigh. A loud squeal left her lips and the other three people at the table looked at her strangely.
“You okay Celeste? Lela asked. Celeste quickly nodded her head in return. Lela gave Celeste a suspicious look before turning to me and glaring at me. I smirked back and she rolled her eyes, turning away. I knew that Celeste felt the sparks that were running from where my hand was touching her thigh but she, to my disappointment, removed my hand.
I mentally snorted before placing my hand back onto her thigh. She let out a quiet sigh before again removing it. A small smirk made its way onto my face at my new found game and I put my hand back. Much to my entertainment this is how the rest of lunch went by and when the bell rang Celeste was the first one out of her seat.
I watched in amusement as she practically sprinted towards the door. We have gym together next and health after that so I don’t know how she thinks she’s going to be avoiding me. I slowly walked towards the men’s changing room and when I reached it I strolled in like I owned the place.
Our school is an all werewolf school so most of the guys in the class are from my pack, but a few are from Celestes. I walked towards my assigned locker and saw my best friend, Cole, standing next to it.
“Hey man,” I said as I neared him. His head turned towards me and he gave me a grin.
“Hey dude. I saw who you were sitting with at lunch.” He said wiggling his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes at his immature–ness and started to change into my gym clothes,
“Shut up man.” I grumbled as I pulled my left shoe on. Besides my parents Cole is the only one who knows that Celeste is my mate, and he’s the only one that knows the real reason as to why I haven’t accepted her as my mate.
Cole and I walked side by side into the gym to see that most of the class was already there. Our gym teacher blowed the whistle and we all got to doing our warm ups, they aren’t that bad but there way more then a human gym teacher would assign for warm ups. Once we finished warm ups we all gathered in a circle around the teacher and waited for instruction.
