fourteen
"YOU DID WHAT?" My eyes flutter open, the walls carrying shouting through the house. I shiver slightly, is that Theo yelling?
Yawning I sit up straining for a reply, "I'm just trying to help." Came a much quieter and calm response.
"YOU SIGNED HER UP FO-." Before Theo could finish a small voice butted in.
"Alpha."
"What do you want?" Theo growled obviously frustrated.
"Isabelle, she's awake."
"Thank you, you are dismissed." I hear Theo's voice followed by the sound of footsteps.
The creamy white door is thrown open to reveal an angry Theo, closely followed by none other than Dexter.
I watch Theo's face soften the moment his eyes land on me, "morning Belle." He strides towards my bed gently lowering himself onto it. "I have some bad news."
My mind starts to race, he's going to reject me, maybe he's found another Luna, a better one or maybe he just hates my guts a-.
"Dexter enrolled you at school." Theo's voice cuts through my thoughts as I freeze on the spot my eyes focusing on Dexter.
He simply shrugs his shoulder, "if you are really Theo's mate which is still in question. Then you need to interact with pack members."
"I-. Um, don't t-think that's a g-good idea." I say quietly my playing with my sheets.
"Why's that Isabelle?" Dexter growls accusingly.
"B-because I-I'm weak and people a-always see me a-as an Omega." I say timidly.
"Well maybe that has something to with the fact that you were born to be an O-." Theo growls cutting Dexter off.
"My mate is perfect just the way she is." He glares at his brother before turning to me, "don't listen to him Belle, you don't have to go to school if you don't want to."
I look down shaking slightly.
Can I really do this? Go back to school? Back to where even the teachers laughed in my face?
I gulp looking away from Theo, and staring directly into Dexter's cold blue eyes. He matches my glare and I know it's a test. Dexter's been to high school he knows vulnerable, weak girls such as myself get eaten alive by the hierarchy. Sent straight to the bottom of the food chain, inhaling I turn to see Theo.
His green eyes are kind; I know to him whatever I do won't change his mind. Not that it matters to me but I need to do something, be someone and if that means proving to Dexter I can control both aspects of my personality, then that's what I was going to do.
"I'll g-go." I say cursing myself for stuttering if I can prove that I'm Luna then I have to at least be able to conquer the high school food chain.
Dexter lets out a soft laugh, "you're really going to put yourself through this?" He looks at me sceptically, "because I know of a girl who's been dreaming of the day Theo picks her to be his new Luna and I just know how torn up she'll be when she hears the job is already taken... By an Omega." Dexter spits out the word like poison.
A shiver runs through me, unconsciously I reach for the duvet my hands instead grasp the cold air. Looking down I realise Theo has the whole duvet bunched up into his fists, eyes bulging he lets out a growl.
I gulp, now's my chance, my chance to prove to Dexter and Theo that I'm more than a weak Omega.
"T-Theo." I say softly he doesn't even turn his head, just continues staring at Dexter rage in his eyes. "Theo." I say louder he still doesn't acknowledge me.
I bit my lip angrily maybe he does just think of me as a weak Omega, and that was it. My split personality, my alter ego, whatever you want to call it. Just like that I was a different person, I was a Luna.
"Theodore!" I cry grabbing the brothers' attention. "I can handle myself."
I then turn to face Dexter, "as for you I don't care if every girl at that godforsaken school is head-over-heels for my mate because they clearly haven't met me." Dexter goes to speak but I cut him off, "as for me being a former Omega that is in the past and I don't believe the past is entirely relevant to the present."
"Besides," I begin climbing out of bed, "as an Omega you learn a thing or two in reading people, and right now you want me to go to school and who am I to deny you of what you want?" I snap looking at Dexter.
"And she's back." I watch Dexter smirk but my eyes linger on Theo, for once he doesn't look like he's on my side. Was I to rude? Why didn't I just stay in bed?
"Who's back?" I say my tone flickering with doubt.
"The other you, the real one." Dexter accuses narrowing his eyes at me.
"Neither one is the real me, I'm both!" I cry flinging my hands up in frustration. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to shower and get ready for school before I'm late." I say glaring at both Dexter and Theo in turn. Theo doesn't budge but after a tug from Dexter and a whisper in his ear Theo disappears out the door.
I breathe out heading for the adjoining bathroom, I can do this. I close my eyes, school has never been easy for me, but maybe this time I can do it right. A fresh start.
Reaching over I turn on the faucet letting the warm water gush down, I smile slightly. I love the way the water runs over my body, pounding onto my soft skin but never hurting, never leaving a mark. The steaming water washing away the pain and the memories.
I breathe in wrapping a towel firmly around my body, I can do this. Moving back into my room I scan the large closet Theo had assembled of beautiful clothes. Running my fingers over the fabrics I stop at a beautiful summer dress. The white fabric is soft beneath my coarse hands. Pulling the dress out I admire the flowing skirt and billowing sleeves smiling I slip the dress on.
Grabbing a pair of black sandals, I smile at my reflection. The opportunity to choose my own clothes and dress myself feels like a gift. Brushing out my blonde hair I can't stop smiling. Leaving my old pack was the best choice I ever made and even if I can't stay here forever the choices and respect I've been given is nothing like I've ever experienced.
~
I can do this.
I can do this.
I can do this.
I can do this.
I replay the phrase over and over all the way to school. My hands shake as Theo pulls into the huge car park. He looks over at me his blue eyes soft, "you don't have to do this." He murmurs placing his hand over my trembling one.
Without looking at him I reply, "if I'm ever going to be a respected part of your pack then this is what I have to do."
Stepping out of the car I hold my breathe, I can do this. Within seconds the everyone in the car park is watching, not am I a new girl with a new scent, but I just arrived with the Alpha.
Before I can blink Theo is by my side his arm rapped securely around my waist. He pulls me against him and I flinch slightly, "they'll love you I promise." His words offer little comfort as the whole school continues to stare.
Walking through the hallway is enough to make me want to run and never come back. Every head turns, every eye watching me. Before I can make it to the office Theo grabs me, pressing his lips against mine. On instinct I pull away, we've only kissed once and well I'm still not used to all the PDA Theo insists on.
I can feel the whole school holding their breathe, anticipating Theo's next move. Will he kiss me again? Leave me in the dust? I chew the bottom of my lip, I should've just let him kiss me.
"Hey, look at me." Theo murmurs gently inching my chin upwards. "I will never hurt you." His voice offers little comfort as my thoughts begin to spiral.
I can do this.
I look up my thoughts consumed by who I am. In just seconds I want no I need to go back to being shy, scared and stuttering. But I can't. If I have any chance at surviving this school and proving to anyone that I can be one person all of the time I need to step up.
Taking a deep breathe I stand on my tiptoes closing my eyes and gently pressing my lips against Theo's.
