2-The School Day.

Claire’s POV

Nic is horrible today, he can’t keep his hands to himself. Thank goddess, our younger brothers don’t care. I keep trying to hold his hand, but he wants it pressed to the bare skin of my legs.

“Where do you want to go for prom? Dinner wise?”

“I don’t care,” I answer. “I’m going for you; I really have no interest. You know that.”

“Babe, it’s an opportunity to show you off. I got to take it,” he flashes me his million-dollar smile. He loves to show me off. Like, I’m his prize.

I lean back and look at him, is he my prize? Thankfully, my skirt’s too long to allow him access beyond my knees.

He’s a horny Alpha and it just keeps getting worse. I don’t know if he is going to make it until I’m 18.

But, I made myself a promise. Only my mate, my destined mate would take my virginity. Either he’ll cave and screw some skank, or he’ll wait for me. Hand jobs and a few blow jobs are the only thing he gets from me, until I feel the mate bond take over. It’s not that I’m not attracted to him, I am. But, are we mates? I mean, I just don’t know.

We pull in at the school. The Alpha’s kids, or AK’s, as we are called, have two parking spots. But, we all ride together. My adopted brothers do look like they are craved out of stone. Even Liam, when he cleans up. All four have jet black, curly hair, green eyes, even at 16, the twins have broad shoulders, chiseled jaws, and muscles that seem to arrive like gifts around 14. Liam is the tallest at 6’8”, 5 inches taller than Nic and dad, the twins are 6’4” but still growing. Nic always keeps his hair very short, no chance of curl. He sees a curl; he goes straight to the salon. Cullen chooses a little bit longer style, controlled by gel. And Luke let’s his fall down his back and keeps it maintained and brushed. Boy uses more product than I do. They tower over their adopted sister. I’m only 5’ 2” very tiny frame, and blonde with sapphire eyes.

But, don’t let my pixie like appearance fool you. I’ll kick ass when needed. I’m fast and nimble. I’m a “surprise, waiting to kick your butt.” According to my trainers.

Nic gives me one last passionate kiss, before we split up to go to first.

“Smell anyone?” I ask Grace my best friend since 1st grade. She is not afraid if me or my brothers. She is an only child, with dark brown hair and eyes. She is outgoing and a total loudmouth. She also dresses way sexier than I do. Today it’s a tight pink tube dress, that shows every curve. And that ass. I catch Nic staring at it sometimes. Not that I can blame him. She is showing it off.

“He’s home?” Her smile could light up Chicago.

“Yes, for a month, so wanna come over after school?” I smirk, knowing Grace’s all-time crush is my brother, Liam.

“Home for a month, can I come over every day? Maybe stay over on the weekends?” She is jumping and I’m worried her boobs are going to come out of her dress.

“Nic may have an issue with you staying the night.” I hold her arms, so she will stop jumping.

“How is horny toad?” Grace rolls her eyes. I get it, she doesn’t like Nic. She didn’t really have issues with him, until we started dating, but since then, it’s a constant battle with these two.

“Horny as ever. I'm trying to keep it under control, but there is only so much I’m willing to do.” I say, as she rolls her eyes again.

“Alpha boy better get it under control, or he and I will have a little discussion.”

“Mom agreed to prom.” I say, as we start to walk toward class.

“Sorry, what did he give up for it?” She knows I’m not big on being his trophy.

“Me going with him to stuff this summer.”

“You didn’t want to go anyway.” She hugs me.

The warning bell rang, so we find seats in Trigonometry.

I muddle through English and drama, then I’m pulled into a closet for 4th. Senior Lunch, Junior Study Hall.

I smile, as he presses his lips to mine. He lifts me onto a counter and presses his bulge against me. Some girls would get wet and start burning with desire. But, not me. I keep my hands on his chest, so he knows he gets my lips and nothing else. I’m going to wait for my mate! We make out for 30 minutes and then I need 15 to get myself looking right for my lunch and the rest of my day.

“I’ll see you by the car after training. I love you, baby,” Nic says, helping me smooth my hair.

He always helps me after making out at school. I know he wants to leave his fresh scent all over me. No male in school is dumb enough to even glance my way, smelling like Nic.

What he doesn’t realize is that, other than Grace, none of the girls like me either. I was pretty popular, but since Nic and I started dating, the other girls don’t want me around. I’d say they are jealous, but I don’t know for sure. Nic has never been a playboy. That’s Liam. Nic is very serious about being a good Alpha and me.

“I love you, too.” I smile, we peck on the lips and separate for the rest of the day.

I meet Grace in the locker room after 6th, so we can change for training.

“Will Liam be there?” She asks, deciding what to wear.

“If he’s home, Dad insists he trains,” I smirk at her. She chooses the skimpiest shorts and sports bra set she has. It’s, basically, a bikini.

I chose my running shorts, sports bra and a tee shirt. My curves are for my man only. Time to train.
