Chapter Seven

Four months later

Tori twirled her pencil between her fingers. Math class was always a nightmare, but she couldn’t get her mind off the guy waiting for her at the end of the day. She had an hour before she saw Jack again, and she couldn’t wait. He hadn’t left her side once even though he must be missing the pack. On the last four full-moons she’d watched him through her bedroom window turn into a wolf and run through the ranch. They didn’t have any neighbors, and the men who worked on the ranch left every day.

Biting her lip she saw the way his body looked with the moonlight shining down on him. He was so tall and muscular. The nights were becoming hard for Tori. Her dreams were full of Jack. He was everywhere as a wolf and a man.

“Tori?”

Glancing up she saw the teacher had stopped in front of her desk. “Sorry, Mr. Evans.”

“You can be in fairy land on your own time, Tori. When you’re in my classroom I demand your attention.”

“Of course, I’m sorry.” There were a few sniggers from the fellow pupils, but she ignored it.

Looking toward the board she quickly did the sum that was remaining.

“Well done. It’s good to know you’re paying attention when it matters.”

Smiling, she quickly scribbled down her notes, begging for the bell to ring. She hated being in high-school, especially knowing that Jack was at home on the ranch. When she wasn’t there he helped Uncle Paul run the place. He fitted in with her life.

Remember the dream.

Her dreams were becoming more vivid and detailed where Jack was concerned. She didn’t like the thought of having wet dreams about her friend. He wouldn’t do anything about her little crush. For the longest time she’d pushed her crush aside for Jack. Nothing would ever come of it. Jack was the beta while she was the runt. Why would he want someone like her when he could have anyone he ever wanted?

The bell sounded, and she packed up her stuff, not wasting any time to talk to anyone. She’d not made friends. None of them were pack, and she didn’t like taking the chance in case she didn’t make it. The training with Jack was going amazingly. She was stronger than ever before, within herself and her body.

She quickly gathered the remaining books from her locker. There were three girls heading her way. They were laughing and giggling. Her senses were on high alert as she turned around.

Becca, Doris, and Lauren were waiting for her.

“Can I help you?” she asked.

“The guy who comes for you,” Lauren said.

Her hackles rose. They were talking about Jack. Jealousy struck her hard. The three girls were blonde, beautiful, strong. Jack could easily be attracted to any of the three.

“What about him?”

“Is he your brother?”

“No.”

“Who is he?” Doris asked.

“He’s my friend.”

“Maybe you could introduce us,” Becca said.

Tori pushed her way through the trio wishing they’d just disappear. “I don’t know if that’s a good idea. He’s older, and he doesn’t go here.
