One minute I'm getting my books out of my locker, and the next I'm choking Mariah up against a wall. Today hasn't been my day.

It's Friday and that means I have to be moved in with Greyson soon. Before Saturday night.

I had barely gotten any sleep because after Riley and I were done talking I couldn't stop thinking about what I said I'd do. Why would I agree to give Greyson a chance? He's nothing but trouble.

Then, when I woke up I wasn't in the best mood either.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

It was mocking me. I got angry after about five minutes of this and grabbed the clock and squeezed it in my hand until it crumbled to the floor in small pieces. It was easy considering the extra strength werewolves had. I sighed and just laid my head down and decided to sleep for a few more minutes. I had two hours. I'd be fine.

"Alex! Alex! Wake up! We have ten minutes!" My whole body jolted up as I grabbed the arms that were shaking me and flung the person across the room.

I ran over to the person and immediately felt bad.

"Sorry, Dylan," I said as I helped him stand up.

"Geez. Ten minutes, Alex," he groaned as he rubbed his head and walked out. Ten minutes?

I ran over to my clothes and pulled out a pair of jeans and a plain black tee shirt. Then, I hurriedly put on some socks since I slept in a bra and slipped on my combat boots. I ran over to my makeup and skipped the foundation and just put on some eyeliner and my mascara and ran downstairs.

"Alex! Your hair!" Gabby squealed and ran over and started messing with it. After a few minutes, she pulled away and I felt it. It was done in a neat French braid.

"You don't have time for breakfast. We're already late," Shane said as he exited the room and Gabby followed.

We all ran out of the house and piled into mine and Shane's cars. Gabby, Austin, and Dylan went with Shane while I took Karissa and Shawn.

"Oh my god! Slow down!" Karissa screamed in my ear as I weaved my way through the slow drivers.

"We are already late! Just shut up!" I yelled as I ran a red light and nearly caused a collision.

"Alex! Shane's gonna kill us!" Shawn shouted as he tightened the seatbelt even tighter to himself. I scoffed and rolled my eyes as I made a sharp turn that made a loud squeal come out of Shawn and Karissa.

"I can't be late again!" I said, panicked. This would be my thirteenth time this year. I can't be tardy again, or I'd be in a lot of trouble.

"I think I'm gonna be sick." Karissa said as I swerved some more. Everyone pretty much knew Karissa never had the strongest stomach.

I made a sharp turn into the school parking lot which sent Karissa and Shawn slamming into eachother. I looked behind me as I slammed on the brakes to see them squished against each other as they were both pushed up against the left door.

"Come on guys! We only have-" I looked down at my phone and about had a heart attack. "-less than a minute! Holy-!" I exclaimed as slammed the car door open.

I ran towards the big door and put both of my hands on it, but fell back when it didn't open. Locked. What the? There's like thirty seconds!

I stood up and took a few steps back and then ran. I used my side and launched myself at the door. It fell down as did I and made a loud crash on the floor. You'd think there would have been an alarm, but I guess breaking down doors was considered normal in our high school.

I jumped up, not bothering with the pain I felt on my side. I used as much speed as I had and ran up the stairs taking two at a time. I looked around the empty hall and ran down to the class. I literally dived into the class just as soon as the bell rang. I groaned as my stomach hit the floor, and I slid.

I jumped up and dusted myself off.

"Ha! Eat that!" I yelled in victory as I leaned over and tried to control my breathing.

"Ms. Ricardo!" Mrs. Krimmer scolded at me. I looked up at her as she continued. "I will not have that kind of behavior in my class! Out! Now!" She shouted as she pointed to the door behind me. My mouth dropped to the floor as I stuttered with my words.

"Listen, Laura. Don't make any hasty decisions." I pleaded. She glared at me, most likely for using her real name. If she wanted to call me Ms. Ricardo then I'm calling her Laura.

"Enough, Ms. Ricardo! Leave, now!" She said once again.

"But-"

"Now!" She yelled louder and I had to cover my ears. Jeez. I stomped my way out of the room and my boots made a thud each time I took a step.

I continued walking down the hall and glared at the wall in front of me, not caring about the bystanders.

"Oh, Scar. What's got ya so upset? Another mate reject you?" She teased. I just kept walking past her and her other friend Makenna. They're good together. "It's a shame. No wonder your mate rejected you. I mean, who would want an ugly, scar-faced mate? I bet you gave yourself those scars, huh? After he rejected you, so everyone would feel bad. Cutter," she spat and I stopped. I turned on my heel and stared at the both of them. Makenna had a smug smile while Mariah was smirking like a maniac.

"Screw off, Mariah." I said as I clenched my teeth together. She and Makenna chuckled as she spoke again.

"What? Can't handle the truth? I feel bad for the rest of your friends, or are they all bastards like you." I snapped.

I launched my entire body at her and clamped my hand around her neck. She gasped, and I could hear her heart beat speed up as Makenna took off down the hall.

I tightened my grip as she struggled and pushed her against the wall harder than before. She sputtered as she pleaded for me to let her down.

"Say what you want about me, but keep my family out. I don't want your big mouth around me, but you are. The least you could do is shut the hell up about my family! My family, my mate, my scar, my life is my business. Stay out of it," I spat as my grip tightened. I knew that by now there was gonna be a bruise. "I'm sick and tired of your shit, but I'll put up with it. But you're warned. Talk about me all you want. Keep my family out of it," I said as I tightened my grip once more. Her face turned red as she was struggling to breath. I should chuckle, but that'd be rude.

I heard footsteps pounding through the hall, and they abruptly stopped behind me. I thought of dropping her, but I was furious. Two years of this can do that to a person.

"Alex, put Mariah down," a voice said behind me that sent butterflies to my stomach. The anger and rage inside of me quickly set them on fire, though. I heard footsteps behind me, but focused on my dying 'friend'. I loosened the grip a bit so she wasn't as strained and gritted my teeth together.

Then, I was swiftly thrown over a shoulder. Tiny tingles surged through me as my skin made contact with his shoulder. A spark. I looked back to see Tyler and Makenna helping Mariah breathe as she was struggling on the ground. Her neck was red and already beginning to bruise by my hand.

"Let me go!" I yelled as I kicked my legs and slammed my fists on his back. His grip tightened as he refused to let my legs move. I slapped my hands on him repeatedly making a loud noise each time the palms of my hands made contact with his back. "Ugh! This is kidnapping!" I screamed in frustration and used all of my power to knee him in the stomach. He jolted up a little, but it didn't seem like it did anything else.

He continued walking as I continued my rant and slapping and punching him. It only took a minute or two before we walked into the office.

"I'm taking her." Greyson stated simply to one of the secretaries. He was the alpha now and everyone knew. He could get away with anything especially kidnapping which is illegal in my book. I moved my head so I could see her, and I waved with a sheepish smile. She rolled her eyes and started typing something on her computer. I'm not well liked in this school.

Greyson started walking again and walked us through a door that lead to the outside. I groaned as the cool air of fall us. Great. We started walking and ended up at a black Lamborghini. How much money did his family have?

"Hey! My car!" I shouted as I pointed to the other side of the lot. He just ignored me and shoved me in the passenger side. I huffed and crossed my arms. He got in on the other side and slammed the door. He breathed in a large breath and turned to me.

"What the hell was all of that?" He asked trying to stay calm, but I could tell he was furious. His fists were clenched at his sides and his face was hard.

"None of your business," I spat and turned my head to stare out the window. He grabbed my head in his hands and turned my head so I was facing him.

"You could have killed one of my pack members. It is my business," he stated angrily. I scoffed and stared him in the eye.

"She deserved so much more than just that," I replied darkly as I moved my face so I was right in front of him. He seemed on edge from the lack of respect, but I didn't care. I'm a high rank in a pack as well, somewhat. I deserve respect, too. Just because he is a male does not mean he has any more authority over my actions than I do.

"Listen, I'm done. You're moving in tonight and that's final." He said lowly. I gaped at him and slammed my fist on the center console in protest.

"I ain't no cat! And, I ain't staying!" I yelled getting very mad. I could feel the heat in my body as I got angrier. I clenched my teeth and immediately knew my canines had come out. Greyson's eyes widened as he realized. He looked at my eyes and looked flustered. A very unusual trait that runs in my family: bright blue eyes. My eyes are already a natural blue which is different than my actual family, but our wolves all have bright blue. It's cool, actually.

"Yes, you are." He finally spoke. I swallowed loudly and turned so I was facing the window again.

"No," I said trying hard not to let my voice tremble. "I refuse," I added nibbling on the inside of my lip. I heard a sigh come from his lips and the car start.

I calmed down as I could feel my body cool down as well as my canines went back to their usual size. I chewed on the tip of my thumbnail as I was yet again stranded in one of Greyson's cars.

I sucked in a harsh breath when I felt one of Greyson's hands fall beside mine on the leather center console. I jerked my hand back a bit but then started drumming my fingers onto the plush leather.

Eventually, throughout the entire awkward silence in the car, we ended up at the pack house. I glared at the building through the tinted windows.

"Don't glare. You're far too beautiful," he said sternly. I wanted to smile so, so bad, but I decided against it and kept my face emotionless. I nodded and ground my teeth together. He rolled his eyes and got out of the car. Then, walked over to my side and opened the door. He held his hand out and I scoffed.

"What? No cave man approach this time?" I asked as I grabbed his hand and he yanked me out of the car. And I do mean yanked. He yanked me so fast that I didn't have time to get my footing together and fell to the ground. I let out a squeal as I fell on my stomach. I groaned out in pain as my stomach as well as the palms of my hands and knees scuffed against the paved driveway.

"Shit," Greyson said as he crouched down beside me. He put both hands on the sides of my waist. Small bursts of tingles ran around my waistline and up my spine. I shivered, but quickly got knocked back to my senses.

"Hands off, Hayes," I growled as I used my bloody palms to push myself off the ground.

"Alex, my name is not Hayes-" He argued, but I ignored him.

"Greyson, I don't gave a damn," I said as I looked down at my bloody knees that had a few pebbles sticking to the skin. "Fabulous, just so fabulous," I mumbled to myself.

"Alex-"

"Greyson, just shut up! Okay? I have a lot going on right now and you're just adding to it," I growled out. I really did have a lot to worry about. I'd just nearly killed some girl, found out that the person I would kill without a second thought is my mate, and my parents and/or my ex-mate is going to find out about me. Hell, he could come after me and kill me for all I know.

I followed him as we entered the house. Immediately, people looked at me. Some women grabbed their children like last time and some glared at me. I stared back and snarled at a few who had a little to much courage to stand up to me.

Greyson's head quickly snapped back to me. He grabbed my forearm and dragged me as my attempts to escape his grasp failed.

As my failed attempts went on, I continued to glare at everything. Men. Women. Children. Lamps. Eventually, we came to the familiar door that I walked through that got me sucked into this mess.

He opened it, and I instantly tensed. He pulled me in and sat down on his office chair. He pulled me down as well, so I ended up sitting on his lap. I attempted to stand up, but his arms wrapped around my waist.

"I swear, if you rape me in here I'll staple your dick to your forehead." I growled out. He chuckled and kissed the back of my neck. I tensed once again and I could feel him smirk against my skin.

"Never." He said before lifting me up. Then, he got up and walked out. I rushed over to the door and tried to open it only to find that it was locked. Great, now I'm a caged animal.
