***KATE’S POV***

I stormed out of detention like a bat out of hell, I’m pretty sure I broke her door when I slammed it shut. She knew nothing about me or my family. I was ok with her downgrading me but bringing my parents into it was completely unnecessary. 

But I had gotten so caught up in her anger, it had turned me on majorly, and I couldn’t control it anymore. Her face when I kissed her was priceless, like she hadn’t even known what hit her. I smiled to myself as I sped off down the road towards Dean’s. 

She had kissed me back to.

I was mad at her and then I was completely turned on by her, I didn’t know what to feel. I had never felt what I had felt with Miss Riley before, the longing, the lust… the protectiveness, jealousy, and anger. It was all new to me, and I didn’t know how to handle it. 

I pulled up to the familiar cabin, hearing them in the back, knowing exactly what they were doing. I made my way around and saw Collin and Stiles going at it, Dean, Tess, and Michelle just watching. Dean looked up and saw me, waving me over, “Glad you’re here, we’re going over fighting technique.”

He called over, “Tess, you’ll teach Kate, since you’re one of my best fighters.”

Stiles piped up, “What about me?”

Dean shoved him and he fell onto his ass, making everyone laugh, “What about you?”

Tess stared at me, her muscle shirt and shorts were quite distracting, but I did my best to watch her. She smiled playfully, winking before charging at me, but I moved quickly, ducking under her arms and catching her around her neck, pulling her into a head lock. 

Dean clapped, “Yes, that’s awesome, where’d you learn that?”

I shrugged, “Instinct I guess.”

He nodded, “That’s how you kill vampires, rip their heads off. It’s not as easy as it looks though, trust me.”

Tess lined up again, seeming more angry now, her eyes were glowing and I smiled, “Back for more?”

She crouched, growling loudly, her green eyes lighting up, “Don’t get ahead of yourself Kate.”

I smirked playfully, feeling my adrenaline run through my veins as I lunged forward. She jumped into the air, landing on top of me, but I wasn’t giving up yet. I grabbed the front of her shirt, pulling her off and me and slamming her into the ground, only to have her kick my legs out from under me. 

She was on top of me, but I had managed to get my legs under her, kicking her in her stomach and sending her flying into the air. I landed toughly on all fours, crouching as she let out the loudest growl I’ve ever heard. 

It was actually kind of intimidating. 

We both jumped into the air, colliding as her hands twisted me under her, forcing me to hit the ground hard on my back. It was miraculous, the way our bodies were standing all of this brute force. Don’t get me wrong, it hurt like a bitch, but I was still going.

I hadn’t even realized I had shifted into my Partial Wolf form, my claws were protruding out of my fingers and my teeth were sharp with anger. Tess smirked, “You wanna play that game.”

She shifted to, and I landed a brutal punch to her jaw, knocking her back a couple of feet. She looked up, popping her jaw back in place with a sly smirk, “You hit like a girl.”

I growled, lunging for her, and accidentally giving her the opportunity to rip my shirt and the top of my shoulder with her claws. I looked down at my gash, seeing it heal instantly, but the fact that she had ripped my shirt pissed me off more. 

I growled, “That was my favorite shirt.”

She smiled, her long canines sticking out, and she shrugged as if she didn’t care. I growled loudly, grabbing her but she grabbed the back of my neck, bring her knee up to my nose and breaking it instantly. I yelped as she threw me down, knowing I was done for the day.

She knelt down, cracking my nose back into place before it started healing itself, “You fight good, I like you.”

I stood with the help of Tess, getting an applause from the rest of them as she spoke, “We’re gonna go clean her up, she looks like shit.”

The pain was subsiding but I knew I had blood all over me, and we walked into the cabin and to the upstairs bathroom. She pulled out tissue and began wiping my face, ridding of all the blood that was there, handing me one, “Blow.”

I blew my nose, feeling the blood clots exit onto the tissue paper and I threw it into the toilet. She removed the flap of my shirt, exposing my bra and the blood matted shirt, and she wiped my chest. She spoke, “I don’t think Collin and Stiles can fight half as good as you. I finish them within minutes.”

I smiled, “I hung in pretty good for a rookie, huh?”

She laughed to herself, her white teeth and those pink lips looking very kissable right now, “You’re better than good, Kate.”

She pulled me off of the cabinet, leading me to what I guessed to be her room, opening her drawer. It held clothes, not expensive stuff like I was used to wearing, “Take your pick, I know it’s not fancy stuff like yours but… it’s all I got.”

This kind of bothered me, she thought I was high maintenance, and I knew I was a lot of things, but I wasn’t high maintenance. I grabbed a T shirt, slipping off my old one and seeing her eyes travel down my body, “It’s fine Tess, I’m not materialistic, I’m just a bitch.”

She laughed, “At least you embrace it.”

I laughed along with her, feeling the tension from the fighting ease up and disappear. She was tough, reminding me awfully of Miss Riley, but I shook that thought quickly while I was right here. 

I spoke, “Can I ask you something?”

She looked at me, knowing it was going to be a personal question. Anytime you had to ask someone to ask a specific question it was never gonna be easy. I was just curious about her family, that’s all. She shrugged, “Sure.”

I sat on her bed and she soon joined me, “Your parent’s…”

She nodded dryly, “Dad was an drug addict, mom died shortly after we were born. We were put into foster care and then Dean and Michelle showed up one day out of the blue, took us in as their own and well… changed us.”

So it was like Dean and Michelle had willingly shopped for their pack, I spoke, “They just chose you two out of random?”

She smiled devilishly, “Not exactly, he had asked about Stiles, and then they told him he had a sister that liked to fight and reek havoc on the other kids. It was like we were meant to be found by him. That was two years ago.”

I nodded, “Wow, that’s pretty… cool.”

She smiled, looking at me from the side of her view, “Are we having a moment after I just kicked your ass?”

I looked at her, feeling taken back that she had thought she kicked me ass, but when I thought about it… she did. I laughed, “Uh, I guess so.”

“I didn’t think I would ever have a sincere moment with Kate Brooks.”

“What do you mean by that?”

She shrugged, “I don’t know, I mean you’re liked by so many people. Girls want to be you, some girls want to have you, guys and girls practically drool over you. You’re so confident in yourself, I envy it… and I used to have a tiny crush on you my Freshmen and Sophomore year.”

“You’re a lesbian?”

She blushed slightly, shrugging, “I don’t label myself, I like whoever I like I guess you could say.”

So was she admitting that she was liking me? This was a bad thing… especially for someone inside her pack. But she was so cute, her green eyes captivating my attention, her lips looking so irresistible right now…

Then she stood, “But that was a long time ago. Wanna go back outside and see what they’re up to?”

I stood, not knowing how she had changed the subject so quickly, “Sure.”

We made it out the house, seeing Dean and Collin going at it. Dean was landing some pretty hard blows but Collin was  either dodging or taking, and then Collin hit Dean in the chest, sending him flying backwards into a tree. 

Dean was sweating, along with Stiles and Collin, speaking, “Ok, we’re good for today, I’ve got a couple of bones that need healing.”

Michelle spoke, “I can start on dinner.”

We made it back into the house and sat around the large round wooden table, Dean lying back and cracking a beer open. “Ok, so Saturday morning I’ve volunteered us to go out and help rebuild someone’s house that got destroyed in last month’s storm, be careful. They last thing I need is one of you getting shot with a nail gun or rolling off the roof and walking away completely fine.”

They laughed but I wasn’t the one who did volunteer work, I had never done anything really laborious in my life. 

I guess it should be good for me.

And soon enough dinner was ready, Michelle fixed her and Dean’s plates, landing a soft kiss on his lips before setting down the plate in the middle of the table. Stiles groaned, “Ugh, enough with the Mate lovey dovey stuff at the dinner table Michelle.”

Mate? What was that?

Dean must’ve saw the weird expression on my face and spoke, “Every wolf has a mate, it doesn’t have to be another wolf, it’s just whoever is most compatible to make more pups with.”

It was weird hearing because obviously I wasn’t attracted to guys, so did that rule not pertain to me? I spoke, “Ok… and if I like girls… how does that work?”

Michelle looked at Dean and then realized he wasn’t going to answer so she did, “Then it’s not valid. You will never have a Mate.”

I guess it made sense, if I was never attracted to males then I would never be able to find someone to have babies with. I didn’t want kids either, not at all, but the biggest fact was that I liked girls…

Which was a huge obstacle.

So we ate dinner, talking about this weekend and how school was going. I was preventing the revelation that I was failing, mostly because it was majorly embarrassing. 

But I didn’t want to let Dean down. 

The other’s seemed to be doing ok, I was the odd one out, which I wouldn’t have a problem with if it wasn’t about something pertaining to my smarts. 

School sucked.

And thinking about dealing with Miss Riley for the rest of the week bothered me, thinking about all of the hateful things she had said.

But I guessed I deserved it, I had disrespected her without meaning to, and then the kiss came into mind.

It had just hit me to what I had really done, I had kissed my Calculus teacher, the woman who had just downgraded me minutes before. I was going to have to face her tomorrow, and if she had told the principals on me… 

I might just be getting expelled.
