You are Mine,Only Mine novel Chapter 9

"So, you're the new girl Jade was talking about yesterday!" Elliot said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Elliot, but call me Eli." He stuck out his hand and she shook it. I was jealous that he was touching her. That he felt her smooth skin. That I'm not the one holding her hand in mine right now. My wolf started growling, but I scolded it to be quiet. Abigail scoffed and I rolled my eyes at her. "Abs, babe, you don't have to be jealous," Eli said looking over his shoulder at Abigail.

"And I'm Jet," Jet smiled at my mate and shook her hand.

"I'm Daniella, but call me Danny. It's nice to meet you guys," She said sincerely and smiled genuinely. Her smile was breathtaking and again, I was jealous that she didn't smile to me. Danny was her name, huh? I thought to myself. That's one hell of a sexy name. I quickly shook those thoughts away.

"Okay, let's begin this class," Mr. Jenkins called out and I groaned. Eli, Jet, and I took our seat while Warren talked to Mr. Jenkins. Obviously, he was talking to him about our tardiness. Danny was watching him, curiously.

Warren was walking back to his seat when I caught him smiling at my mate and then winked at her. That was something he did often when he saw something he liked. Then, I turned to Danny only to find her looking down, blushing. A smile crept on her face. What the fuck? I felt the rage build up inside of me and I felt my wolf itching to come out. It was scratching at my skin. I was already growling and Warren looked at me curiously before taking the seat next to mine. However, I just took deep breaths, telling my wolf to calm down. Involuntarily, I smacked Warren across the head, which earned me a death glare from him.

"What the fuck, Wes?" He growled. He was Beta of the pack, but I was still Alpha. I still had control.

"Don't look at her like that again." I said between my teeth clenched. My hands were shaking under the desk. Suddenly, I felt my pack's eyes on me. Warren looked at me like he was trying to figure out something. "What War?" I asked, trying to calm down.

"Is she your mate?" Warren asked, but quietly so the humans couldn't hear it.

I had the urge to say yes. To claim her as mine. However, I reminded myself I couldn't appear weak. "No," I forced out. "She's not my mate. What the hell are you thinking?"

"Sorry," he said sarcastically.

"Don't you have a washing machine?" I asked between laughs.

"Babe, the expensive stuff doesn't matter. All I want is you," he said and pouted. I laughed again. I was really having fun with Jarred and the Stone Pack. Yes, you heard me, the Stone Pack. Jarred, Abigail, Charles, Dustin, and Alex made it up. I guess this school runs in packs, not 'groups' or 'cliques'. I asked Jarred why they called themselves 'a pack', but he laughed at me like I was crazy.

So, now, here I am eating lunch with them. I was supposed to eat with Jade, but I couldn't find her. Since I had Jarred for the previous class, I followed him to lunch. The cafeteria was like any school cafeteria on a regular day. It was noisy and the food was disgusting. Surprisingly, the cafeteria was clean. The tables didn't even have gum underneath them.

I was already getting comfortable with the Stone Pack. They were easy to get along with. Sure, Jarred was always trying to flirt with me but I knew he was just playing around. Not to mention, Abigail and Charles were in their own little world, but I totally understood. They were in love. There was a pang in my chest when I thought about my previous love life. However, I just shook those thoughts away.
