Jewel's POV
It's been four days since my rejection, my parents have been pretty livid and extremely over protective of me to the point that it's suffocating to me. I do love them to bits but the kind and amount of attention they are giving to me is way to much, they even told me I could skip school, however I am a lot of things but not a coward, never was and never will be. Plus I have exams, my exams that determine if I get to go to college or not there's no way I'm missing out on that.
Even though I'm not sure if my parents would let me leave the pack to attend college because that would mean I'd be going rogue for about five years or more if I chose to come back after I complete my courses, but that's a battle for another time especially with my mom and brother, hmmm this rejection actually could work in my favor now thinking about it.
Oddly enough my parents decided to buy my siblings a car for them to share, obviously Jace being the guy and biggest of the three he volunteered, well more like took the keys away from Lacey which made him the designated driver by default, I have been getting up early to go to the training area and arriving home late from training after school. I decided to put my extra time to use by getting stronger and stronger so I train in wolf and human form simultainiously.
Another Monday, another day of exams and hushed whispers and gossip, I pull up to school about three minutes before the bell is to go off, I plug my ear phone in and head to my locker to get my books and supplies for my first three periods. I see Quinn and her posse approaching me as I'm turning my lock combination to head to class, they walk by and bump shoulders with me and she ends up falling over in a very epic way I just walk over her and head to class, how weak and pathetic.
((You Bitchhhhh!!!)) I hear her shout... (( Just you wait till I'm Luna, I will make you suffer!))....(Slam) my classroom door closes and I take my usual seat at the back of the class and take my ear phones out. Usually the seat right next to mine is vacant however from the corner of my eye I see someone sit down next to me. I turn and see none other than Drew, he smiled at me while I stared at him expressionless and then turned and looked ahead as the lecturer walked in to begin class. He's been doing that for a few days now and it's getting annoying, even Jade is bothered... he just sits and stares like he has something he wants to say but never says anything, just... there, existing in my space.
"Hey um.. Jewel, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I did and how I rejected you without getting to know you and just taking Quinn and her friends words on what kind of person you are, as your mate I should have given you a chance and taken the time to get to know you and find out the truth for myself, so I was wondering if we could start over?" **.............. (Silence)..... " Jewel"...... (Silence)...... he loses his temper and shouts in the middle of our lecture "Jewel! I am your Mate and Alpha and you will answer me when I'm talking to you".......(Silence).... by then the entire class was looking at me while I was looking at my teacher, who was also looking at me.
<<Sir, aren't you going to continue class?... the bell is going to ring in the next fifteen minutes >>... ** B-But the Alpha is talking to you Jewel...**....<< I don't see Alpha Dustin anywhere in the classroom sir, do you? I would like to finish learning something from you today if you don't mind>>... He nods slowly and looks the Drew then cleared his throat and begans teaching class again, all the while I could feel Drew staring holes at the side of my head and feel the silent rage roll off of him. Once again he leans over to me and this time he whispers. ((you know pretty soon Quinn is going to be announced as my Luna to the pack, my dad has given us his blessing!)) ... Is this supposed to be his attampt at making me jealous or getting a rise out of me?... ha! I turn to him to see him looking smug and I smile.
<< Congratulations to you both Drew, as I'm pretty sure whomever Quinns' mate was supposed to be will be happy he dodged a bullet filled with STD's I'm sure he's shake your hand and thank you, I do however feel badly for your wolf >>... just then the bell rang and I got up and headed to my next class.
JADE - ((What an asshole! he purposely said that to hurt our feelings Jewy))... << I know that but Mehh I honestly can't be bothered by that idiot, I really think he did us a favor Jade>>... ((which is weird don't you think Jewy?...our feelings vanished completely so quickly while he seems to be hung up))...<< I don't know and I really don't care..the Moon Goddess is probably on our side or knew we would of keeled over and died if she let him have his way>>...(( Hmmm I don't think that's it though but let's wait and see, I can't even feel his wolf calling out to me anymore))...
<< What do you think about us leaving the pack Jade? for college or just to travel>> ... (( That sounds great!... but we will have to convince our parents first to let us leave because that would mean we would go rogue.. no parent would want that for their pup Jewy))...** ... << I know, let's talk to them when we get home>>
Later that day...
<< Hey mom, dad... May I speak with you both for a few minutes please>>
((Sure thing sweety))
<< Okay, so there's no easy way to say this so I'm just gonna cut to the chase, Jade and I want to leave the pack and do some traveling before we set off to go to College. >>
Mom Laura --> Okay Jewel, how long will you be gone?.... << five years give or take. >>
Dad Jaxon --> Absolutely not!... that would mean you going rogue and be away from us for so long.. I'll go out of my mind with worry Jewel Stuart..
Mom Laura --> Jax honey, calm down... our daughter is basically an adult plus shes a very strong warrior, she will be fine.. plus there are things called cell phones dear... how can we deny her her chance at living and exploring as well as learning...just because you don't want to let her go?...do you want to see her here unhappy and feeling like an outcast for the rest of her life?
Dad Jaxon --> Sigh no, no I don't.. It's just that she's been here all her life with us, that's going to take a lot of adjustment plus gieven what she's been through with that little shit, sigh I'm sorry Jewel for only thinking about myself... I want you to be happy.. you've always refused to get a cell phone..now you have no choice because your old man will need to know you're okay... when do you plan on leaving?
<< Well this our final week of exams.. I've already sent out applications so I'm waiting to see if I'll get accepted into any of them then go from there... but I am leaning more towards Montenegrah College which begins next year, so perhaps a week or so from now to give me enough time to travel and site see.>>
Dad--> That soon huh? but at least it would be before the Luna and Alpha crowning ceremony.
<< So Drew was serious when he said Quinn would be named his Luna soon then.>>
Mom--> That little shit, he rubbed that in your face? how I wish I could beat this ass for doing what he did to you.
<< No worries guys, It's strange but I actually feel nothing in regards to our bond or him. >>
Dad--> That's very strange indeed honey, it has not been one let alone two full moons as yet, well...perhaps it's a Goddess blessing.
<< I think so too, so now I just gotta get through this week and make preparations for my departure next week and I also need to tell the Alpha... But! before that, who's gonna be the one to tell Jace I'm leaving home? >>
One week laterJewel's POVI spent most of my time packing and organizing my stuff to leave. I had obviously decided it was best to let the Alpha and Luna know of my departure, they where not too happy about their strongest warrior going rogue but they understood my reason and respected my choice, the Alpha also told me the reason why Quinn was going to be named Luna and I found it befitting and fair, her mate really did dodge a bullet though I can't say the same for my ex-mate.I finish my packing and load my stuff into my car, I am excited, anxious and nervous at the same time. No one besides my family, the Alpha and Luna knows that I'm leaving and I intend to leave it that way, it's not like I have anyone that would miss me besid
Jewel's POVI finally make it into town around 2:30 PM, I spent quite a lot of time just soaking up the ocean air and the views it was so damn magical. I even ended up in a video conference call with my family showing them the beach, my sisters where ecstatic and asked if they could come visit once I settled down to which my dad quickly shot down, not wanting any more of his children leave and be so far away from him and mom.The city is absoultely perfect, there's so much scenery to take in as I slowly drive by taking it all in. School doesn't start for another two months so I have a lot of time to get acquainted with the area, first thing first I need to find a place to stay that's not too far away from Campus, I stop a few times and ask around for the Campus location, once I know where it's located then I can
Jewel's POVI pull into the parking lot of the supermarket and grab a cart as I head inside, I slowly walk through the aisles and put what I need into my cart. I turn to head down into the snack aisle and I can sense them, their power before I meet them, Wolves, high ranking wolves, Jade is alert and vigilant and ready to go if bad comes to worse. I see two buff looking guys further down the aisle looking intently at me. It seems they know I'm a rouge, but I'm sure I'm not in anyone's territory, I continue my shopping and notice that they appear to be following me through the aisle sigh, let's just get this over with, I slow to a stop and wait for them to approach me.Guy 1 --> Hello there friend, never seen you in these parts before. He said as they move closer to me still, probably to make s
Drew's POVI'm going out of my mind right now, today is the day of the Luna crowning ceremony and when I officially become Alpha of the pack, I was told that I've been asleep for four whole days. I don't feel as strong as I used to and my dad has pointed out that it's because Jewel left our pack, sigh. I feel like such a fking fool! I really should've listened to Jahmal and Zed and give her a chance instead of allowing myself to be led by the nose now look at me! I'm stuck with Quinn! damnnit! Maybe I can get her back as a mistress or something, yeah I can do that! as long as she's around everything should be fine right?<< Who are you kidding idiot? she would never settle as a mistress and I would never want to degrade my mate in such a way, you made our bed now lay in it plus we are not weak
Jewel's POVI'm sitting in my living room just soaking up everything that just happened. I found my second chance mate, he's an Alpha who's 24 years old and he's been looking for his mate for a long time and gave up after four years of waiting, he gave up on me, but four years is a long time to be fair but it doesn't stop it from hurting knowing that other she wolves have had him before me.It feels unfair of me to judge him after he held out for four years and I've only been able to sense my mate for a year but I can't help it I really can't.I'm pulled from my thoughts when there's a series of knocks at my door. I look through the spy hole and see the Receptionist from downstairs pacing in front of my door to find out what the matter was she looks so deshelved, I opened my door and was greeted with a slap in the
Jewel's POV(( OMG JADE WHY THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU MARK HIM?! WE JUST MET HIM PLUS WE DON"T EVEN KNOW IF HE WANTED US YET OR IF WE'VE FORGIVEN HIM FOR NOT WAITING FOR US! )) <<WILL YOU CALM DOWN WOMAN! OF COURSE HE WANTS US, WAS OUR MAKE OUT SESSIONS NOT OBVIOUS ENOUGH FOR YOU JEWEL? OR THE WAY HE LOOKED AT US AND CALLED US BEAUTIFUL? I'M SORRY ABOUT MARKING HIM LIKE THAT, MY ANGER GOT THE BEST OF ME THERE FAM, ON A BRIGHTER NOTE! IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED EVENTUALLY NO? >> (( TOTALLY BESIDES THE POINT JADE! PLUS MARKING IS SUPPOSED TO BE ROMANTIC I'VE HEARD OTHER SAY, I FEEL LIKE WE ROBBED HIM OR SOMETHING )) <<STOP THIS NONSENSE RIGHT NOW! HOW CAN WE ROB OUR MATE JEWEL? HE'S OUR TO MARK AND CLAIM, SO NOW THOSE FILTY SHEWOLVES WILL KNOW WHO HE BELONGS TO!>> (( FYI, I HAVE NO INTENTION O
Jewel's POVI'm sitting and chatting away with Justin, for some reason Jade and I really like him almost like family and we hardly know the dude, sure he came off as an ass before being all Beta and stern but he's pretty cool thus far, unlike someone I know he's waiting for his mate and I can tell that he'd make her very happy from what I can see thus far and he has a sense of humor which is a bonus!** Ring... Ring... Ring... Ring** I hear my phone ring and I know the ringtone is Lacey's so I pick the phone up off the table to answer (( sorry it's my sister calling I gotta take this Justin )) I get up to excuse myself to talk with her.(( Hey kiddo )) << Really Jewel? we're still doing the whole kiddo thing?! anyways! what took you so long t
Jewel's POVSo we made it to my home without any problems as quickly as we could. I made sure to rub my scent on him so others would not realize he's a vampire, we did make a swing by a kids store first to get him clothes, shoes etc, I gave him a shower and put on new and clean clothes on him then made him a steak that's medium rare so it'd still have some blood in it and in no time he finished it, I really do enjoy seeing people enjoying my cooking.By the time I've finished cleaning up the kitchen, he was passed out on the couch, I picked him up and took him to my bed and went back outside to watch some tv, Forensic Files is life don't judge me! thankfully Kavi is busy this week with pack stuff so I'm not too worried about him dropping by unannounced.(Next Mo
