CHAPTER 23

I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. I wasn’t sure how long it had been since Alpha Jackson left but his side of the bed was cold. So he’d been up for a while. It was barely sunrise, so I was guessing that he snuck out in the middle of the night. Fucking amateur. We live in the same house. He can’t avoid me.

I climbed out of bed and headed down to the kitchen to get a coffee and there was no one to be seen around the whole packhouse. I went to his office and he wasn’t there either. So I took my coffee upstairs and I went back to my room.

I had a shower and got dressed for school that morning and made sure that I had everything in my bag before I left the house and I started heading towards the school. I knew that it was really early and there would probably not be anyone there, but that was no different to home.

As soon as I got to school I went to the library and I sat down with some books and I started doing some homework when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. Hey Edward.” I say without raising my head.

“How’s it going?” He asked sitting in the chair next to me.

“It’s alright. Didn’t have much time to get all of the homework done over the weekend so I thought I better get it finished before we head into class.” I explain.

Sounds like a good plan. How are you after the party?” He asked.

“Is that all anyone is going to be talking about?” I asked looking up from my books at finally looking him in the eye.

Probably. And I’m sorry about that. But it is what it is.” He says.

I know that. Doesn’t mean that I have to like it. High school fucking sucks.” I say.

Well, think of it this way. Tomorrow if your 18th.” He says.

“Don’t remind me.” I say rolling my eyes and going back to my books.

“What? How can you not be excited about your 18th? Every she-wolf loves her 18th. It means that she will finally be able to meet her mate.” He says.

“Well, in case you haven’t noticed Edward, I’m not like every other fucking teenage girl around here.” I snapped.

“I definitely know that. But right now you’re acting just as bitchy as them.” He says.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you.

But I just don’t want to get into my birthday right now. I’d much rather just forget it.” I say.

“Why?” He asked.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ve just got too much crap going on right now.” I say.

“Alright then. I guess that makes sense. I’ll leave you to it.” He says picking up his bag and he left the library.
