One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 43

Hailey's POV

Cayden is respectful. A man that speaks with eloquence and walks as if he is floating. A man that trains

every day and one that has not been loved since the death of his beloved.

Cayden would make a fine mate, I just know it. Considering the warmth I feel when I look into his eyes.

How my heart starts to beat erratically when we are in a room alone together...

He looks like a model cut out of a magazine and put right in front of me, brought to life by the very air I

breathe. I think he is a god of a man by just his looks and every muscle that covers his entire body. If I

was not melting for the other man that makes my blood boil both by anger and what I believe to be

some form of love, I'd question my thoughts on Cayden.

"I will kill him," Jaxon says so calmly it scares me.

Cayden walks over to me, to stand by my side, and Jaxon's nose flares.

"The very thing you did not want me to do to your warrior..." I say and Jaxon visibly relaxes but his eyes

held onto that anger.

"If he lays one hand on you, I will kill him." He repeats and I nod my head in understanding.

I feel my whole body erupt in anger, my mind wishing my wolf would take full control after hearing

Jaxon speak and spew those very words to our faces and react within seconds, shifting into a wolf.

Wishing my wolf would have full control, as she charges for Azuri, who reacts quickly by dodging our

attack but is still weak from the silver chains so she is unable to shift into her wolf and my wolf would

take that opening to charge again and this time, successfully ripping her head off clean.

I would gladly watch Jaxon fall to his knees as my pack cheers on. I would then drop Azuri's head on

his feet... Looking into his eyes with my fur covered in her blood. I would enjoy that moment very much.

I blink away my murderous thoughts and laugh out loud.

"Come on, let's get out of here," I say, taking Cayden's hand and walking away. Leaving a growling

Jaxon with his father. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

***********************************************A few days later**************************************

It was my day back at school. Yes, the very same school. The one where I will have to see Jaxon,

smell Jaxon. So, I take this as my very first day, the way t should have happened.

Things were going to be different now, things were looking up. I was not the shy, meek little girl

anymore. Yes, there are moments when I just want to cower away and disappear but I have quickly

learned to shove that feeling away and face my fears, it is a day-by-day thing.

Wearing my school clothes, I compliment my look with mascara and eyeliner, not forgetting to gloss up.

Just a few more months of this and I will be free to start my life however I want.

Rushing out of my room, I make it outside to find Cayden, who had buttered toast in his hand, holding it

out for me and I grab it and rush into his Jeep. It was a nice car, with no doors and all black everything.

His leather seats were nicely stitched up. There was no other color and judging by how clean his car

was, I rethink eating this toast in his car. Hopping out, I gobble it down quickly, dusting myself off and

getting into his car again.

This makes him smile.

"Make it down for breakfast tomorrow." He says to me, using his free hand to wipe away some bread

crumbs on my face. This creates a burning knot in my stomach and I feel a blush creeping on me.

I quickly sit back and fiddled with the radio to avoid whatever was brewing inside of me. The drive was

surprisingly quick and before I know it, we are driving into the school's parking lot. I catch his scent

pretty quickly and my eyes scan the lot for the source of the smell...

Finding him, we lock eyes for just a second before my wolf reminds me of the pact I made with myself

and announcing our separation to the whole world a few days ago.

Cayden opens the door for me and I mumble a thank you as I try to gather myself from the wobbly legs

to my fast-beating heart. Cayden and Jaxon were both going to be the death of me.

The rest of my pack finds us as we are walking into the school, Azuri included.

She ignored all the stares and her old friends calling out to her. I make sure to check if her eyes find

Jaxon's and I immediately reel myself in. I will not be the cheating police.

If Jaxon takes this time to still make the same decisions, and same actions then I will know that we are

not meant to be and that it is okay to look past this mate bond and choose myself over a man.

"You've got an entourage now," Rebecca says to me. She had no shame walking up to me after what

she did to me just to gain some points on the popularity meter. I vividly remember opening up to her,

thinking I had just made a friend who was in my corner but all she wanted was to find something about

me that she can use against me.

I was not just the new girl anymore. I was more than that now.

"Yes, I figured if I was not going to find my place in this darn school then I will make one for myself. The

perks of having alpha blood." I say to her and her eyes bulge out, her nose reacting by sniffing my

scent out and coming to the realization that she messed with the wrong one.

"You're in trouble now..." I say before walking away and my pack following me into the school.

This was my moment to take up space and I felt every eye in the school on me, they too could feel the

power shift... They could see it too, their very own queen bee was following right behind me.

Nobody could have predicted this...

Azuri, the girl that made my life hell was now my minion, and boy was I enjoying this.
