Fire Wolf novel Chapter 18

I looked just about everywhere for Felix, and I can't find him. He wasn't at dinner, he's not in his room, the only other place to check is the work room. I walk down that hallway to see the light on, maybe he's doing last minute preparations for tomorrow's class? I knock on the door and open it. "Felix? I need to talk-" I'm stopped dead in my tracks at the scene in front of me. I see Felix holding another girl against the wall, her legs wrapped around his waist, kissing her neck. They both look at me when I walk in, in shock. I'm frozen in my spot, just staring. "Amber?? T-This isn't what it looks like-" I bolt back out the door, tears streaming down my face. I can hear Felix run out the door behind me. "Amber!! Please let me explain!!" But he's too late.

I'm already out the front door, shifted, and gone.

Back To Square One

I collapse from exhaustion on my sister's bed. "Wolfy! Can you sing to me now?" I sigh. I'm really not in the mood to do anything but curl into a ball and cry, but for Lexi, I'll do anything.

I sit up and let her crawl into bed. I sit next to her, and scratch her back gently as I start singing:

"I'll be there,

Close your eyes,

And you'll see me,

Just call my name, ..."

I get dressed and head back to my room to wake Maya up. I shake her shoulder gently. "Maya? It's time to wait up. It's 6:30am." She groans, but rolls over and looks at me, observing my wet hair. "Have you already showered?" She asks, sitting up. I nod, and she looks at me surprised. "You were actually up before me? I'm impressed Everwood." She smirks. I shrug. "I never actually went to sleep." Her brow creases. "Why?" I shake my head. "I don't wanna talk about it."

We go down to the cafeteria, and grab some breakfast. We sit at our usual table, and look around. I try to avoid the Alpha's table, but I can't help but glance over there. Felix is the only one missing. 'Probably swapping spit with that bitch before class,' I thought. My wolf and I both cringe at that thought, but I sigh, knowing it's probably true.

I walk slowly to class. You know as the days go by I'm beginning to dread this class more and more. I walk inside and join the rest of the class, taking my usual spot in the back. Felix walks in just as always, 8:30am on the dot. He makes his usual speech in a monotone voice, not even looking at the class. He then pairs us all up and has us fight one another. He pairs me up with his beta since we have an uneven number, and he is no longer having to fill in for a missing instructor.

He puts up a good fight, but I take him down without a lot of struggle. I can feel Felix's eyes burning a hole in my back, but I refuse to look at him. Felix rotates us every now and then, when Alpha Chris walks in asking to talk to him. They talk, but I don't care enough to listen to what they're saying, so I keep fighting my opponent.
