3 WHAT IF I'M MATELESS?

ALEXIS

Throughout first period, nothing happened .

Didn't smell anybody particularly great except Aiden's new cologne that he was clearly lying about, didn't get any urges.

Nothing happened.

it is safe to say that my mate is definitely no one in my chemistry class and I'm fine with that .

Still nothing in second third and fourth period . At this point, I was starting to get a little bit scared.

"What if I'm mateless?!!"

"First of all you're not mateless .we've not even reached half the school day yet. Calm down. Even if your mate is not in school today you'll meet him eventually. It doesn't always happen on the exact birthday so stop fretting"

"Damn, who knew children could be so wise ?"I said laughing

"Oh please you're only 5 days older. you were still crapping your diapers and crying"

"Crapping my diapers or not 5 days is a lot. A lot can be done in 5 days"

"Oh yeah? Name one"

"You could bake a huge cake in 5 days"

Aiden laughed out loud "Once again you're just a fool. lets go to the next class before are late. Wouldn't want to get detention on your big day, would you ? Or maybe your could meet your mate in detention.

Rebellioussoulmates"Aiden said laughing

"Uhmm, that sounds like the name of a terrible novel . furthermore I doubt that's going to happen"

"We'll see"

I walked into 5th period with great expectations.

This is the class I've been waiting for all day cause I happen to have this class with the alpha and beta sons of our pack.

I didn't tell Aiden about my excitement cause they bully him.

Jessica to me, Liam and Grey to him but if I become one their mates then I can get them to stop and if I eventually become Luna of the pack then I'll have the authority to dissuade bullying as a whole and fight for the better treatment of omegas.

It of course has nothing to do with the fact that they're both taller than 6ft5 with the body of a Greek gods and the face of a Italian model. Gush`, I'm such a terrible best friend.

Entering the class, I noticed that their seats were empty.

Ignoring the stares I walked to my usual seat at the back of the class and sat down. Aiden and I were talking about the newest episode of demon slayer when the teacher entered the class.

The class went silent.

"sorry I'm late guys, there was a teachers conference . Anyways lets begin, today's topic will be trigonometric ratios"

I zoned out. I'd already finished the scheme of work for the term so I really didn't need to listen but where could those two be? this isn't like them.

Not like I'm a stalker. I'm just observant plus Mr. Mark is super strict so best believe you're getting detention for any slight mistake .

20 minutes into the class and they finally walk into the class and I felt nothing I even took a big whiff of the air which got me some strange glances but still nothing.

I couldn't help but immediately feel sad, with a sigh of defeat I put my head in the desk

"You okay?"it was Aiden probably asking cause of the sigh.

I mustered up my best fake smile I could "yeah, I'm good . just exhausted " then I turned my head the other way and slept.

I woke up to the sound of feet shuffling and tables moving. The class has ended and everybody was rushing to get out for lunch

"You're awake"

"Yeah. I'm surprised Mr. Mark didn't see me . he's so particular about sleeping"

"Yes he is. The moon goddess really got your back today"

"Well the moon goddess should do her job and get me a mate instead of making my day slightly better "

"Careful what you say boo"

"Whatever"

The rest of the day flew by. Disinterest in every class and the urge to cry.

Immediately last period ended I jumped out of my seat and ran outside.

I could hear Aiden calling my name but I ignored it. Still running, I transformed into my grey wolf and let my paws hit the floor at full speed.

I didn't bother removing my clothes first. They're definitely shredded but I didn't care. I didn't even know where my feet were taking me but I just kept running.

I stopped running when I reached a waterfall.

Not just any waterfall but the same waterfall my mum and I used to come to when we moved into the pack.

I hadn't been here since she died, still in my wolf form I cried. I cried because of everything and at the same time I cried because of nothing.

Eventually I fell asleep to the soothing sounds the water. When I woke up it was dark and Aiden was seated not too far from me

"Hey you"

I was still in my wolf form so all I did was walk up to him and laid my head on his lap

He spoke as he ran his hands through my fur. "Since you cant talk, I'll do the talking for you.i knew you were here cause you told me about how you and your mom would always come here so I decided to check. I know you're sad about not finding your mate today but its fine. You'll find him. There are over 20,000 students in our school. I mean it is a werewolf school for 3 nearby packs. There are places you didn't even go near today so maybe that's why you didn't smell him. Plus I know you were sad neither Liam nor Grey were your mate. I know you've had a crush on them for a while and it's fine. You probably felt too guilty cause they're the ones that bully me but it's completely fine. I love you and just want you to be happy".

All I could do to tell him I've heard was lick his face and nod. I don't know why but my wolf felt comfortable with him.

He stood up, transformed into his wolf and we walked to the pack house together went to my room and he went to his.

I entered my room, transformed to a human texted Aiden a thank you speech and spent the night listening to sweet music.

This wasn't exactly how I planned the day to be but I can't stress over it anymore. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day…or not. I don't care.
