Evie’s POV
Okay that just happened, after fleeing one wolf I found another one apparently. Well, that sucks. Anyway, when Alex left, I did what he asked. I went inside mine and Kristin's dorm. I remember how hard it was to get this dorm together. We specifically told the dorm manager that we wanted to have a dorm together. He told us that it would be no problem, but still we ended up not having one together. Apparently, he confused us with to other friends Maya and Daimy. I ended up having a dorm with Maya, while Kristin was paired with Daimy. When we found out we immediately switched, but we ended up being good friends with them and we sometimes go out with them too.When Kristin and I finally got our dorm we all went to the home store and bought all our stuff together. The dorm was already furnished with a big grey couch, 2 small black metal coffee tables with a wooden tabletop, a small TV and cabinet around and under it, wooden dinner table and chairs.
Kristin was watching some TV; I don't even know what she's watching now. I think it is Lucifer or chilling adventures of Sabrina. Like I said I don't know that girl has a Netflix problem. Not that I am judging or anything. She loves those kinds of shows, with the super natural in it I guess. I wondered how she would react if she found out werewolves existed.
"So, you and Alex" Kristin said while wiggling her eyebrows. I could not help but laugh, like a full-on laugh, holding belly, almost laying on the floor, kind of laugh. "Wait, am I missing something?" She asked confused at my reaction.
Well, I mean kind of. I have one mate, who just marked me, so I don't even think I can be with anyone else anymore. When did my life become so complicated? Why can't I just have a normal life?
"No... it's fine" I said while catching my breath. "But no. No, me and Alex, he's becoming a good friend I think."
"Yeah right, I saw the way he was looking at you, like you're that cookie he wants to eat but his mom told him no but he's still trying to get one" I raised my eyebrow
"What?"
"You know, when you were a kid and you really really really wanted the cookie, just imagine your favorite cookie, freshly baked and your mom said you're not allowed to eat it. How do you look at it?" she said
"Okay like I really want to eat it, but I don't think he wants to ea--" I came to a realization "Oh, OOOOOOOH shit really? well that was unexpected"
This time it was Kristin's time to laugh. "Yeah okay, anyway I just baked chocolate chip cookies" She smirked "How's your neck?"
"It's fine, it will heal, I just hope it won't scar" I replied, even though I knew it would scar, I mean that is one of the reasons for a bite. To show other wolfs that your mated right?
"Probably not, you didn't need stitches so I think it will be fine" She responded, if only she knew. Maybe I should tell her what really happened. But I guess I will just talk to Alex about it first. "How did you even manage to get yourself bitten in your neck? Like seriously how big was that dog and how did he bite your neck?"
I started to panic a little "I don't really know what kind of dog it was. One moment I was walking outside the store. And uhmm" okay what the hell am I going to say, uhmm shit okay "my shoelaces were untied so I sat down for a moment to tie them" okay yes that sounds believable. "And the next moment I felt the bite in my neck. The owner said he was very sorry "I mean Josh was a little panicked. "I didn't know what to do, so I just started to run and kind of forgot to take the groceries. I'm sorry Kris"
"I think you are forgetting that I've known you for over 10 years and know when you are lying. But I will leave it for now because I'm too hungry. Would you like some mac and cheese? I think that's about all we have at the moment" She replied
"Yeah sure, what were you watching when I came in? We could just watch a movie tonight. I'm not feeling like going out." I should have known she wouldn't believe me, but what am I supposed to do. At least I'm off the hook for now.
We walked to our kitchen; it wasn't much. Just had a stove, refrigerator, and freezer in one. A stove and some cabinets. The kitchen was almost in the living room. We put an open closet in front of it, so it was like its own space. In the closet were a couple of plants, that didn't need much care otherwise they would just die, and some books.
"I was watching Emily in Paris. It's about this American girl, Emily, she is played by Lily Collins, although she is British, anyway she goes to Paris for work. The company she works at works together with a company in Paris, and she needs to help with advertisement." I looked at her confused and she signed "You know what never mind, you need to follow the show to understand. So, what do you feel like watching Eve?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Kristin started to laugh
"No, I guess not, Doctor who it is, we really do have a different taste in shows, or just in general. How are we even friends" I just laughed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 episodes, 3 hours, later, Kristin fell asleep on the couch. Well, I guess I should go to bed than.
"Kris..." I whisperer, Nothing. "Krisssss" I whispered a little louder, still no reaction at all "KRIS" okay yeah that woke her up.
"Where is the fire?" I started to laugh "What are you laughing at"
"There is no fire, you just fell asleep on the couch, didn't look very comfortable. So I thought to wake you up, so yeah you're welcome for not having a stiff neck in the morning" I said still laughing a little.
"Oh... okay, thanks I guess, goodnight"
"Goodnight" I went to our small bathroom bathroom. The bathroom just had a shower, toilet, small sink and two cabinets. We made it a little homier with fluffy light blue mat on the ground and a small Aloe Vera plant on the cabinets and a Cast Iron Plant on the ground. I brushed my teeth in front of the black round mirror and braided my long dark brown hair. I still don't like to wear make-up, so I just removed the little mascara I was wearing. I thanked god for having thick brown eyebrows. I mean I don't have to do anything about them, just sometimes pluck a little so that I don't get a uni-brow.
When I was done, I walked over to my room, it was small but what do you expect from a dorm. I just had a closet for my clothes, a double bed with a nightstand and a desk with a chair. My bed had a grey duvet with my favorite navy blue, or how I like to call it Tardis blue, quilt. My desk was a mess like always, with my biology papers all over. I still wasn't sure what I wanted to study, but it would defiantly be something with biology.
I got in my bed and began to think about the day I had. Why is this my life? Did I have some kind of bad karma? And why did my parents just have to move to Lupus Harbour. Now that I am thinking about it, seriously why did they have to move so quickly. It was like one morning my mom just said yeah, we're moving at the end of the week. They never really gave me a good reason why. I mean my mom and dad just worked at some kind of company; I was never really bothered with what they did for work. I am not even sure what kind of company, I think it has something to do with security. I think I should ask them the next time I call.
Since I left, I called at least 2 times a week to keep them up to date. When I left to go back to San Diego, they kind of understood. I gave them a small explanation about mine and Ashtons breakup. To say my dad was angry would be an understatement. He was furious at him, I had to hold him back to go after him. I was disappointed in myself because he warned me about him. At the dinner with Ashton, he even told him to go away at first. And I, with my stupid head, said he should stay. I stood up for him, how stupid was I a few month ago. I should have listened to my dad. Now he is always worrying about me, he told me he spoke to Ashtons mom a few weeks ago. I knew Ashton was miserable, but it suits him just right.
Josh had tried to contact me for weeks; I still didn't know what to do about him. He sent me texts about Ashton as well. I know wolfs have just one mate, when they are rejected, they could be miserable for the rest of their life. But that is not my problem, right?
I looked over at my alarm clock on my nightstand and it was already 1 am. I should really go to sleep. I have an early class in the morning. Wait am I even allowed to go to class now? Alex asked, no begged me, to stay inside. I will just have to call him in the morning. As I kept thinking about the morning, I slowly felt myself falling asleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, my alarm went off, I looked over and saw 6.30 am. Shit do I really need to get up? Well, I guess I'll just call Alex now. I mean if I have to suffer, at least I am not alone? I picked up my phone and looked for Alex number and pressed the call button.
"Alexander Ross speaking" I heard the sleepy voice of Alex and just had to laugh "Wait Evie? Is everything all right, are you hurt?"
"Well, good morning mister Ross" I laughed even harder "I am fine I jus--"
"Wait you're fine, not hurt in any way and you decided to call me at" there was a small pause "At 6.40 AM, are you crazy?"
"I'm sorry, like I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted. I was wondering what to do now. I have a class at 8 am. and you said I had to stay home, but I cannot miss this class" I tried to convince him to let me go
"I am sorry Evie, but it's not possible now. We are going to see the elders today. I was goi--"
"What are elders?" I interrupted him
"I was getting to that, I was going to call you later, like way later than 6.40 AM EVIE SERIOUSLY. Anyways the elders are like a council for wolfs. They should know what to do about your little problem on your neck. Now let me go back to sleep I will pick you up at 11." He sounded really frustrated.
"Wait Alex" nothing "Alex" okay he hung up on me. Well, that sucks. But okay a few more hours of sleep never hurt anyone. I fell back to sleep; well I guess I'm going to meet the elders today.
Kristin went to school this morning, she had a later class than I did, at 10, I think. So, when she woke up, she turned on the music to listen to some pop music. Which was not a nice way to wake up, even if it was the second time. Now don't get me wrong I like pop music sometimes, I mean I like Justin Timberlake, but not early in the morning before I had my coffee. I'm more of an old school music kind of girl, like Bon Jovi and Queen and I kind of like country music in the morning. When she realized I was still at home and not yet at school she asked why, of course. So, I just said my neck hurt and that was believable enough. I mean it kind of does, not the kind I expected it to hurt, more like a tingling feeling. It's kind of irritating to be honest.When I finally got out of bed, deciding I couldn't go to sleep for the 3rd time this morning, I went to the bathroom to do my business. Got the braids out of my hair, now it was flowing in waves around my face and not the boring
I was sort of still freaking out. I mean who wouldn't when they just heard you wolf probably shift in a freaking wolf. It wasn't even my choice. Now don't get me wrong, it would be kind of awesome to be able to shift into a wolf, but Ashton took my choice away when he bit me. Kat had the good idea to give me some chamomile tea. Something about my heart beating fast. I keep forgetting that they could here stuff like that. I was getting a little more relaxed, but I still didn't know what to do. "Is it still possible to reject Asthon once I've changed?" I saw Ashton looking up at the mentioning of his name. "It is possible, but because he marked you, he would most likely die of a heartbreak. You see, a wolf gets one mate in its life. Sometimes but rarely twice when a mate dies or when rejected fully before the mark." "What do you mean rejected fully? He rejected me the moment he saw me, and I rejected him months ago" "Yes, my dear you did say it,
Kristin just ran into our dorm saying something had happened. "Okay what's wrong?" I asked looking confused at my shocked best friend. "Okay so I was just shopping for some groceries, because well you dropped the last ones. Not that I'm complaining. I mean I would probably drop them too if something like that would happen to me. But I got some vegetables and frui- "Kristin focus, what happened" I asked. "Oh yeah sorry, well as I walked out of the grocery story. I might have seen your ex." "Huh? What ex?" I replied looking curious. "Ashton, do you have any other exes I don't know about? Anyway, I think Ashton is in town" She said still with a shocked face. "Oh, that ex, I know" I replied. Seriously that's it? "What do you mean that's it. Wait, you knew? And you didn't tell me." "Yeah, uhm I saw him already" Seriously what should I tell her, that he bit me, that that is the reason I knew he was in town. For me.
I woke from the sound of my alarm, I looked over to my alarm clock and saw it was 6.30 am. "Jeez I hate morning classes." now don't get me wrong I love mornings, well at least when it's not cold outside. It's the beginning of fall and now I have to wake up when it's still dark outside and it is really getting cold. I got out of bed about 10 minutes later, after an internal battle deciding if school really was more important that a good night sleep. I went to the bathroom put my towel on the heater, striped my pj's and got into the shower. After washing and conditioning my hair and washing my body I got out of the shower. Luckily because of the heater, it wasn't too cold, and my towel was nice and warm. Once I dried myself, I put on a matching set of a navy bra and panties and stood in front of the mirror. "Damn I look like shit". I had bags under my eyes and just looked tired. To be honest I haven't been sleeping well. "Well just suck it up, I have to go to school".
"What are you doing here Ashton?" I asked again as he just stared at me. "Are you following me?" a minute later the bartender came back with my drinks, I paid for them and gave him a tip."Well, no, not exactly following" He replied, still with a lustful look in his eyes. "Also why did you give that asshole, that was just checking you out, a tip?"How are you not exactly following me?" I asked using air quotes with the not exactly following part. Also pretty much ignoring the stupid other question he asked me."Well, I was just going to get a burger with Josh, but then I smelled you in here, so I came to check it out?" He rubbed his neck in a nervous gesture."Well, that is just something every girl wants to hear, you smelled me." I said with a sarcastic tone."You know I did not mean it like that. You know us wolves can smell our mate from a few miles away. It's not a bad smile. For me it was the most wonderful vanilla and jasmine smell." He
Ashton pov "So how do you feel?" I asked Josh as we walked down the road. We left the club and decided to continue our original plan and go find something to eat. There was a burger restaurant a few blocks away, and I could use a bloody burger. Not literally bloody, but almost. Medium rare it is. "I'm good, happy. Did you see how beautiful she was" Josh replied. "You look like a lovesick puppy dude." I laughed at the way he was looking. "Shut up." "Kind of cliche don't you think? Your mate is my mates' best friend." He shrugged. "I don't care how cliche it is, she is mine and I'll cherish her." I nodded, I have to give it to him, it is a better way to treat your mate when you find her. I know I was stupid; I didn't want her to get hurt, but by the way I acted she got hurt in the process. Because of me. I hurt my mate. Even thinking about it now, I could almost not breath, I still feel so guilty. I just hope she forgives me some day.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING HERE." My dad yelled at Ashton, who let me tell you almost jumped out of his seat."Hi daddy, how are you?" I said nervously, trying to ease the tension in the room."Hi sweety, I'm not here to talk about me, how are you. I heard from Kristin what happened. And let me tell you that boy is not going to get away with it. That being said" My dad turned to Ashton. "Like I said before, what do you think you're doing here Ashton. Haven't you done enough damage on my daughter?"Ashton still looked scared and stood up from his seat. "I am the one who found her and took her to the hospital sir. I wanted to know she was okay if that is okay with you sir." He said nervously."Do I have to remind you what I said, at the dinner when I first met you?" My dad said sternly. He walked over to the other side of the bed, gave me a quick peck on my forehead and walked over to where Ashton was standing."No sir, you told
I just woke up from the best sleep ever, I was warm and comfortable. When I opened my eyes and saw Ashton asleep next to me. I looked around me and realized I was still in the hospital. On a seat in the back of my room was my best friend sitting. With a smug on her face. "Looks like sleeping beauty is awake. How are you?" Kristin asked. "I'm good." I said with a smile on my face. "Yeah, I bet. You looked comfy. Don't worry I took many pictures for the kids later." I looked at her with a shocked face. "Yeah, that's not going to happen." I told her. "I think we would make some cute babies though." Ashton said with a sleepy voice. I looked at him, with an even more shocked expression. "Yeah, we are not going to talk about this. By the way, what happened to the bartender?" Ashton growled. "We handled it." Is all he said. "He was taken by the police but released an hour later. There was no evidence that he drugged you." Kris
