Pulling into the school parking lot Monday morning felt different, I swear that I could feel almost everyone's eye's on me and that some people even gave me slight bows as I passed them.

I parked next to Xavier's truck in the parking lot, expecting to see him waiting in it for me. After I spent the night Friday and learning about werewolves he was being extra clingy. Ivy told me that all mates are very protective of each other, but that it would be worse for me because not only was Xavier an alpha, but I was a human which would make him want to protect me more.

I swear that I saw a few wolves patrolling outside my house last night when I woke up to get a glass of water.

"Luna," a red-head girl bowed as I walked past her.

"Um, what? I'm Addison- ohhh," I said finally relaxing what she meant. Xavier did say that some people in his pack will begin to feel the luna pull before the official ceremony. "Hi, have a good day."

I was finally early for once so I decided to just wait by my locker until everyone got here. I was going over my Romeo and Juliet lines when I felt hands sneak around my waist.

A big smile spread across my face thinking that it was Xavier, "Hey," I said turning around only for the person not to be Xavier, but Andrew.

"Good morning, my Juliet," Andrew greeted me, releasing my waist and leaning up against the locker beside mine.

"Hey, Andrew. How are you?"

"Better now that I've seen you," Andrew flirted.

Ok, who was this guy? Because the Andrew that I meant last week was way more shy and way less flirty. I guess he wasn't a werewolf either because Xavier mentioned that since the pack will start to feel the luna bond none of the guys will even come near me in fear that Xavier will snap and hurt them.

"That's really sweet of you to say," I began nicely. I wasn't good at telling people off that were flirting with me. "But, I guess that you can say that I'm kind of saying someone I guess." Xavier hasn't asked me to officially be his girlfriend yet, but I mean we did sleep in the same bed the other night and we are soulmates so maybe it's just an unspoken rule in the werewolf world? I was going to have to ask one of the girls for a quick werewolf dating rundown.

Andrew's flirty and confident attitude immediately changed to an embarrassed one. "I'm so sorry, I had no idea."

"It's fine," I rushed out. "It just happened so I wouldn't expect anyone to know."

"Who is it?" Andrew asked.

"Xavier Black."

Andrew's face hardened and it looked like he was biting his tongue from saying something he really wanted to. I was about to ask him if he was ok when I felt a heavy arm snake around my shoulders.

"Hey Addie," Xavier whispered in my ear before planting a gentle kiss on my temple.

"I'll see you in English," Andrew said abruptly before walking away.

"I don't like him," Xavier stated pulling me more into his side.

"He's in mine and Ivy's English class, he seems harmless and human," I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see my face. Xavier was staring down the spot Andrew was previously standing in.

"You smell like him," Xavier whinnied letting go of me and quickly stripping his hoodie off before pulling it over my head. "Much better."

"Are you serious?" I asked gaining down at his hoodie that was like an oversized dress on me. It fell to almost my knees and was beyond baggy. But judging by the grin on Xavier's face I wasn't going to win taking it off anytime soon.

"At least wear it for today so everyone knows that you're taken."

"If I do will you stop being so crazy?" I asked half-serious, half-joking.

"It's worth a shot," Xavier shrugged his shoulder's as the first bell rang for class.

"I'll see you at lunch," I waved him a quick bye and made my way towards English.

I was almost at my English class when I heard someone call me. "Miss Avery."

I was surprised to see it was Mr. Davis standing there, it classroom was on the other side of the school. What was he doing here?

"A word?" He asked, but it was more like a demand.

Mr. Davis turned and held the door open to an empty classroom for me. I slipped through the door and felt a wave of relief when he left the door ajar after me.

"What seems to be the matter, Sir?" I asked politely, but on the inside, I was going through everything that could have gotten me in trouble.

"Since you're new in midnight Creek I just wanted to check in with you and let you know that if you ever need to talk or are feeling stressed you can come to see me. I know moving isn't easy," Mr. Davis said kindly.

"Oh, um, thank you, Sir. That's very kind of you."

"And Miss Avery?" Mr. Davispuased for a beat before scribbling on a hall pass and tearing it off to give me. "Be careful who you make friends with."

"I will," I said a little confused but tried to keep the smile high on my cheeks. I went to reach out and grab the hall pass that he was holding out for me, but when I grabbed it Mr. Davis held on a little too long for my liking.

"Some people just aren't to be trusted, and I would hate for any of my students to get hurt."

I felt a shiver go down my spine when he said that.

I gave him a tight nod before practically running out of the room and into my English class just as the bell rang. I tossed my hall pass town on Mr. Hnason's desk and shooting him a 'sorry for being late' smile before making my way to the empty seat by Ivy.

"Xavier keep you?" Ivy teased eyeing up his hoodie that I was wearing.

"Something like that," I mumbled pulling out my script and setting my backpack down on the floor.

"Alright, everyone get into your Romeo and Juliet groups and start running lines!" Mr. Hnason announced. " I will be checking in with each group to see what props you may need as well."

"I can't wait until this unit is over," Ivy groaned beside me.

Andrew moved to sit right in front of me, a glint of something else in his eye. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it definitely wasn't the same apodictic look he gave me before.

"Me too."
