Chapter 2

Jared's POV

Beep! Beep! Beep! BEEP! BEEP! I groaned at the alarm that gradually grew louder. I extended my arm trying to turn it off. BEEP! When I clicked the off button, the clock still wouldn't shut up. BEEP! BEEP! I threw it against the wall and broke into peices. I groaned again, "Now I have to buy another alarm clock." I threw my bed sheets off of my half naked body, making my way out of bed. I sat at the edge and sighed another day of school, but at least I'll see that beautiful girl, Mersea. Her name makes me want to run across the sandy beaches for eternity. I remember when I first layed my eyes on her, yesterday.

I was walking down the halls and I can hear people whispering about me behind my back. I growled silently. "Look new kid." "Did he really kill a guy?" "Wow, he's hot." "You heard of him?" I flinched when I heard the last comment. The voice made my hair stand on end. I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned toward the source and my eyes caught sight of a short girl with the biggest brown eyes I've ever seen. Her hair straight and soft brown all I wanted to do was feel its silky texture angainst my finger tips. Our eyes looked and suddenly I had a huge boner and my wolf was whimpering and growling. My wolf was jumping up and down excitedly. I tore my eyes away from her and scurried around the corner so she wouldn't notice me getting turned on. What did this mean? Who is she? She isn't a werewolf like me, but she is human. I must be delusional. My wolf growled at me for being crazy. I ignored it and walked to class. 

I parked my red mazda in my assigned parking space. I grabbed my bag and made my way to the school. "Jared..." I heard someone say my name under their breath. Someone touched my shoulder and I turned around to find Jo staring at me intently. "Remember me?" he asked. 

I nodded. "You're in my gym class. You're name's Jo," I confirmed. He smiled. I have a sharp memory. What did he want from me? I kept walking through the hall, Jo followed at my side. 

"Can we talk in private somewhere?" he asked, looking around. I stared in confusion and agreed. He walked toward a closet looking door, but when we entered it was a secluded classroom. It was dark and very small the walls were peeling and there was a mess of random stuff on the floor. "What is this place?" I asked. 

He sat on a chewed up desk. "Werewolf hideout," he muttered. I gasped. He's a werewolf? How did I not notice? I sniffed the air. Definitely werewolf, but he has a strong scent on him. That means he's... "I'm the alpha of the Red Moon Pack." I stood my ground and slightly growled. He laughed, "Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you, but to warn you. You're a lone wolf and there are three packs that attend this school. I wanted to offer you to join my pack if you refuse nothing bad will happen, but I thought maybe you would like to fit into a pack. What do you think?" 

I was a lone wolf without a pack. My parents are human. I found out I was a werewolf two summers ago on a full moon. My wolf and me are new at everything, since my whole family are human. I should join them to have more control and power with my wolf. "Ok, I'll join your pack," I accepted. 

He smirked at me as if he knew I would agree. "Saturday my house. You'll be officially part of my pack," he then walked out as the bell rang. 

Tanya's POV

When I got out of my car I looked at my best friend, Mersea. Her brown hair was up in a ponytail some of her bangs had slipped out and were gently tucked behind her ears. She turned toward me and her big brown puppy eyes examined me. "You ready for class?" she asked me. I nodded as we walked side by side toward the school, while her twin sister, Serina ran to her friend. 

I sat at my desk in English, tapping my mechanical pencil against my desk. I was so bored. Someone took the seat in front of me and I looked up at him. I gawked, when I noticed it was the hot guy I now have a crush on. My heart started racing and my hands got sweaty. Ew.. "Good Afternoon, students..." the teacher began, but I stared at the hot guy not paying attention to the class at all. I felt the need to ruffle up his soft brown hair. 

Suddenly, he turned to face me and I quickly reached for my pencil, but it rolled off my desk. I looked at the pencil with such disappointment. Stupid pencil. I heard his deep chuckle and a lump formed in my throat how embarrassing. I looked up to meet his eyes and I gave him a shy smile. I felt my face turn hot as I admired his hazel eyes internally. "Want to work together?" he asked. 

Work together? What is he talking about? Oh! No! I wasn't paying attention and now I don't know what we would be working together for! I gave him a fake laugh, "What?" He smiled at me and connected his desk with mine so that we were right next to each other. I felt warmth radiate from him and he smelled of moss.

"We have to do a project with a partner. Do you want to work with me?" he explained. 

I made an O with my mouth, "Well, you already moved your desk so sure, why not?" He glanced into my eyes for a few seconds and picked up my pencil. He offered it to me and my fingers slightly touched his as I took it back. I felt a shiver run down my finger tips to my elbow. 

"I'm Jo Rair, You are?"

"Tanya Simons."

Jared's POV

I walked out of the lockers into the gym already changed into basketball shorts and a white tee. I looked around the court and smiled when my eyes found what I was looking for. Mersea was sitting alone on the bench. My wolf wagged his tail in excitement, but I ignored him. "Hey RED!!" Someone called. I turned toward the source and Jo and Jacob jogged up to me. I gave them highfives and then coach blew his whistle.

We all gathered around him. "Here are the results of yesterday. " he began shouting out names for three groups. The slowest  were called the Bears, this group consisted of mostly girls. The fastest with less endurance were called the Cheetahs, Mersea belonged to this group. The fastest with much endurance were the Wolves, and I was in this group with Jo and Jacob.

"Bears you all are having fitness day, which means you will be completing many physical activities throughout the day." The Bear group all groaned out loud. "Cheetahs and Wolves you will be having a run off, which means you all will compete to see who can last until the end of the ten minutes." I yelled "YES!!" but I was the only one excited. Mersea pointed at me and stuck out her tongue. So immature. 

I was fourth in the line. Mersea was sixth in the line. I am very competetive when it comes to relays and sprints. We have to run to one side of the court and back one after another and the team with the most people standing at the end wins. "Ready. Set." the coached whistled and Jo was the first runner up he was lightning fast. He ran against a girl who was a few feet behind, but was fast for a girl. 

Whistle! It was my turn. I ran to the end of the court and back not even breaking a sweat. After five minutes I can see that the Cheetahs were getting exhausted. 

Mersea's POV

Sweat dripped from my bangs. Gross. I'm all sweaty. I was breathing hard, too. I've been running for five minutes. This is so tiring.

It was almost my turn again. The girl in front of me sprang off she was trying her best to beat the boy who looked as if he were going to collapse. She surpassed him on her way back and once she crossed the line, she collapsed, but hurriedly scurried back onto her feet. She was determined. 

I felt weak, tired, and I was sweating like a pig. Whistle! I ran across the court. But as I turned around at the other end of the court, I felt my feet slowing down. My vision began to fade. Light was consuming me. I think I was on the verge of blacking out, but I kept running. Almost there.I lost feeling in my face and arms. I felt my knees crash against the floor as I lost my equilibriuim for my knees didn't have the strength to keep me standing. I slid across the wooden floor. The cold from the floor swallowed me. Everything turned white. I faintly heard a familiar voice yell something out and then everything was black. I felt nothing.
