The day goes by quickly, and I groan when I look up and realize it was lunchtime, which meant I had to go to detention, but he didn’t tell me where detention was.
I wasn’t given much time to think about even asking when Alpha Ezra suddenly walked into my science class just as the bell rang. I pack up my belongings and stuff them in my bag. Jasmine gives me a sad smile darting out the classroom door. While I reluctantly walk over to the Alpha.
“Why so glum?” He asks, staring down at me, a smile on his lips.
“It’s detention. What is there to be happy about?” I ask him.
“Lots because you’re with me, come on,” He says, turning and walking out the door. I follow him, and he stops at my locker.
“Put your stuff away,” He says. I go to unlock my locker when he suddenly opens it and makes me look at him.
“What? I know all the combinations,” He says, and I raise an eyebrow at him.
“Really, then open that one,” I tell him, pointing to the one next to mine, which I know is empty.
“Okay, you got me; I may have snooped,” He says with a laugh.
“And why did you do that?”
“You’re new, and I am not sure I completely believe your parents‘ reasoning for changing packs,” He says, and my stomach drops.
“And by the sound of the way your heart rate picked up, I am assuming they didn’t really leave because your mother hit the Alpha’s daughter?”
“Technically, she did hit Alpha’s daughter,” I tell him. He closes my locker, grabbing my hand tugging me along after him.
“Um, Alpha?” I tell him, tingles rushing across my hand and up my arm. He looks down at our clasped hands.
“Sorry, I probably shouldn’t have done that,” He says, letting go. My brows furrow, confused at his weird actions.
“So, where are we going?” I ask when we walk past all the empty classrooms.
“Stressless, you won’t get in trouble with me,” he says before walking into the faculty area. I follow him, and he stops at an office before opening it.
“You have an office here?” I ask, a little shocked.
“Yes, I have decided to be more present here. The school is short of staff, and I have free time, so why not,” He says, and I step past him and sit on the chair in front of his desk.
Great, I get to look at four walls for the next hour. While holding my breath, so I didn’t inhale the Alpha’s scent. He smelled nice, and the room was flooded with his scent, overwhelmingly making me want to breathe deeply.
“What’s wrong?” He asks while sitting across from me. I shake my head.
“Nothing,” I tell him, and he stares for a second when Mateo suddenly walks in with a pizza box in his hands, and he sets it down on the desk, opening it before falling into a chair next to me.
“Eat?” Alpha Ezra tells me.
“Isn’t this supposed to be detention? Shouldn’t I be doing schoolwork?” I ask.
“You want to do schoolwork?” He asks, raising an eyebrow.
“No, but that’s what normally happens,” I tell him, and he turns to look at his Beta.
“Why aren’t you with Angie?” he asks Mateo as he makes himself comfortable beside me.
“Switch, she annoys the hell out of me,” Beta Mateo says, and the Alpha chuckles, shaking his head.
“So, where is she then?”
