Chapter 05
"You do not get to do this" Jean grumbles as she folds her arms and stares ahead.
"What?" he frowns as he glances at her.
"Have you seen me coming to your work place or anywhere and do that?" she asks as she turns to glare at him.
"Well, you are more than welcome to do so" he points.
"Dante, I go to school there, you do not just show up and announce we are mates"
"Why the fuck not?" he glares at her.
"Because, because...it's, I just started my new life and I want to enjoy it peacefully and not have people stare at me in awkwardness"
"Why the fuck will it be awkward, everyone has a mate in our world so what's the fucking difference"
"Your age. I mean look at us" she points and Dante grips the wheel tightly.
"So, you are just ashamed of who I am, is that it?" he asks and she slides a bit down on the car seat.
"I am just not ready to have this responsibility"
"Oh, trust me, even I don't want you to take me as one" he grumbles as he speeds up so they can reach her home.
*************
"How was your first day?" Ana asks as soon as Jean walks in.
"Fine"
"Uh-oh, you don't sound fine" Ana blinks.
"Ana, I am just tired can we not do this?" she asks and Ana smiles in understanding.
"Oh, the Alpha sent a friend who showed me the school and well he invited me to this day out with his other friends so..."
"Of course," Ana shouts at once in excitement.
"Okay, well"
"Just go have fun and well not too much"
"Thanks" Jean smiles as she skips to her room.
*************
"Woohoo" Brian screams as he pulls his shirt off his body before he swings it above his head and dropping in down, he jumps off the cliff along with others while Jean watches.
"That looks scary" Jean points as she turns towards the girl who were removing their clothes to get some tan.
"Boys, all they know is scream and laugh at their stupid jokes" one of the girls point.
"Well, some of it is funny" another one laugh as Jean stands not knowing what to do.
"Come on, Jean don't shy out girl, it's just us" one of them ask.
"Uh, I am good" she mumbles.
"This is fun, Dante's mate and is shy to stay in her bikini" one of them laughs.
"Oh, and we are so talking about it. When I told my family about it, they were so shocked before dad started to laugh and feel sorry for Dante"
"Why?" Jean frowns.
"Oh, sorry Jean no offence it's just your mate is quiet famous for playing under the sheets" the girl points and Jean sighs as she sits on the grass and stares ahead.
"Well, whatever I am just jealous that you have such a hot mate. I mean for god's sake he is The Dante Carlos"
"What is The Dante Carlos?" Jean grumbles as she stares at the girls.
"The Dante Carlos the only son of The Diego and Aura Carlos" Brian shouts as he runs to where they were.
"His father is a legend, he mated an Angel a real one, how freaking awesome is that and his mother trains angels and the most freaking part is his father gave up his coven and powers to be with her...
Like legendary as he is the most powerful vampire we have ever gotten and both of them stay out of our world's shits. And have you seen your mate, he is so damn powerful, he even controls the dimensions and is best friends with The Queen, well the Royals are not ruling but still...
And his wings, man it's one of a kind. I say Jean, I have never seen any girl as lucky as you" Brian states as he grabs the towel and rubs his hair.
"He is feared and respected, who does not want that and he is famous with the ladies but comes with who he is" one of the girl grins.
"I so am rooting for this pair; can you introduce him to us"
"Yeah, call him, we all can totally hang out and because he is our council leader it will be so freaking awesome"
"A what?" Jean whispers.
"You do know he is kind of a leader to our kind?" Brian asks and Jean blinks before they burst out in laughter.
"Oh, this is so gold"
*************
Jean smiles as she waves her goodbye to her friends, she loses her smile as she turns around to stare at her house before she walks away instead of going in. Walking around the pack, she tries to avoid any eye contact with the pack members.
She finds a garden around and walks in away from anyone's eyes. Taking her phone out she puts her airphone in and plays a song as she sits in silence.
Something catches her eyes and she pulls one of the airphone out as she turns her head around before a feather comes flying down and lands on her lap, she frowns as she touches the white feather and stands up to find Dante digging the garden with Scar.
She curses as she drops down at once, hiding away but she frowns at her behavior wondering why she was even hiding. But before she could do anything her phone buzzes making her curse as she crawls away from the place to pick the phone to find Ana asking where she was before rom takes over.
Jean blinks as she hears Rom's voice who was scolding her but instead of being angry, she smiles as he reminds her of her own father who would have reacted the same but then again, she would never know. With few words exchanged she assures him she will be back soon.
Turning around she sighs as she does not see Dante and Scar, staring at her hand she finds the feather still in her palm, so she puts it inside of her pocket as she walks towards her home.
************
"What's there?" Jean asks as she stares at the group lined up.
"Ignore it" one of the girls points as they sit around to have their lunch.
"How can you ignore that big of a group?" Jean asks as she turns to face the girls.
"Well, because you have found a mate so staring at a group of males is not cool and second, they are having some recruitment"
"Recruitment for what?" she asks curiously.
"For guards, betas and stuff, you know"
"I don't" Jean asks and the girls sighs.
"Seriously, Jean can you focus on the lunch or maybe can we talk about shopping or make up?"
"We can but after I find out about that" she points at the group.
"Sweet Jean, those boys are the ones who were not born in Martin lands, some are rogue and some are just here because of some connection and they will never be able to be a beta of the pack but what they can do is pass that test and get a good job or life, be a guard to one of the pack mates or work for council like you know, messengers, detectives bla, bla" Brian explains and Jean nods.
"Now about that game" Brian grins but Jean turns her head to stare at the group before she stands up.
"Whoa, where are you heading?" Brian asks as Jean grabs her bag.
"Well, I feel like taking a test for that" Jean points.
"Oh no, Jean" Brain curses as he grabs his bag to follow her.
************
"Jeanette" Jean speaks as she announces her name and stares at the man writing the names of the participants.
"Hello Jeanette" the man smiles.
"I would like to give my name for the recruitment"
"And what makes you think you will be selected?" the man raises a brow as he folds his arms to stare at her.
"A better thought than the one you think which failed me even before I tried" she states.
"Girls your age should..."
"Do what they feel and not listen to someone like you" Jean smirks making the man grin.
"No girl has ever participated"
"Glad to be the first and make the way" she points and the man nods before he puts her name on the list.
"Jeanette?" he asks.
"Just that" she states and he nods before Brian pulls her away.
"Girl"
"Not so sweet, Brian" she states and he groans as he follows her.
***********
"A girl?" Dante frowns.
"Yep"
"Who is fucking stupid to do so?" he scoffs as he throws the list away without watching it.
"Well, we found one"
"Maybe she lost some bet, I mean I get boys wanting it but girls, what a joke"
"Maybe you should check the list first before being judgmental"
"Judgmental? I will fucking do as I please, I mean competing with fifty men who are stronger, faster and why the fuck is her name Jeanette?" Dante shouts standing up at once as he checks the name.
"Well...." The man grins.
"You better tell me you spelled the name wrong, because I swear there can never be two Jeanette in this fucking world" he shouts as he shakes the list.
"We can rename and call her stupid" the man suggests.
"And get my cock cut up in two pieces?" Dante gasps.
"I must say your mate is...."
"Giving me teen fiction fantasy" Dante snaps.
"Chill"
"Reject her, erase her name, burn the paper, shut the whole system down as no fuck in way am I letting her compete with teenage hormone filled boys and fifty of them" he shouts as he slams his hand on the desk.
"Calm" Adrian sighs as he sits up.
"Calm? Calm? She is underage, call Ana, call fucking Rom what the fuck is he even doing letting her walk out of the house and take these heart attack giving decisions?" Dante asks.
"Ana is the one responsible for the kids not Rom, for now and it's not that bad"
"It is not, it is horrible, this should be on the top of the sin list, criminal record should be made"
"You are over reacting" Adrian sighs.
"She is fifteen!" he shouts.
"Of course," Adrian smiles.
"I was once fifteen" Dante breaths heavily as he stares at the name list.
"Bless her" Adrian pats on Dante's back.
"Put her up" Adrian commands and Dante's head snaps at Adrian.
"You traitor" Dante grits his teeth.
"Alpha, her Alpha and it's a direct order, I will personally teach her"
"Don't you fucking get close to my mate or even touch her"
"Inform her, practice at..."
"No one gets to see her on shorts, ban the shorts or any kind of leggings" Dante commands.
"Let him bitch" Adrian mumbles as he walks out of the room with a grin.
"Adrian Martin, cancel this, this instant or..."
"Or what?" Adrian raises his brow as he stands at the doorway.
"Or I will cry" he groans as he sits down on the chair while Adrian bursts out in laughter as he walks away.
***********
"Turn around and disappear" Jean asks as Dante storms in.
"Pull your name out" he orders.
"And who might you be to order me that?" Jean raises her brow as Dante breathes heavily.
"There are boys"
"I have eyes"
"And that's the problem, they do too"
"Dante"
"I am not taking my name out, Dante and if you try anything to stop me..." she warns.
"How about I give you a free spree on shopping or maybe anywhere you want to travel?" he tries to bargain.
"I have travelled all my life; Dante and I am tired and if you can give me free spree on anything give me to do things, I want the most and this competition is one of it" she asks making him sigh.
"There are fifty men"
"Either you don't trust me or you don't know me well" she states and he rubs his forehead.
"What if I give a free pass to..."
"How about you use that free pass to walk out of the door?" she asks making him groan as he looks around the room.
"Give her some sense" he asks to Ana who smiles at him feeling sorry.
"Fucking teenagers" Dante grumbles as he walks away and Jean grins in victory.
"Oh, you are happy" Ana points at Jean's mouth who frowns as she turns around dashing out of the room.
"No, I am not" she shouts while Ana smiles.
