Hidden Strength

Chapter Four

It's two thirtysomething and I was woken by something hitting my window, wth. I ignore it and try to fall back asleep when I hear it again, seriously it better not be him.
Making my way to my window I peek out, you have got to be kidding me! Why for the love of the moon is he here? I dont care enough to see so I go lay back down put in my air buds on put on my music and cuddle with my blankets.
At some point I fall asleep, but when I wake up hours later I feel something or should I say someone holding me, and if the shocks are any indication it's an idiot that wont take no for an answer.
I crawl out from under his arm and away from him. When I look at him he's just calmly sleeping in my bed, why is he doing this to me? Raising my voice I say, "What are you doing here and how did you get in?"
He sits up and groans, "it's too early for a Saturday lay back down," he then plops back onto my pillow and snuggles in. If I wasn't so annoyed and pissed off at him I would probably think he looks really cute, but I am annoyed by him and his wolf, and he's got some nerve coming here.
"Get out!" I yell at him.
"@#$%%!" He grumbles.
"What language is that? Never mind just get out, you don't want me as a mate remember, we rejected each other so you don't belong here," I glare at him.
Sitting up he looks at me, I'm standing there on the opposite side of the bed with my arms crossed glaring at him.
He gets out of my bed and walks towards me but I stand my ground.
"I didn't agree to your rejection, so you're still MINE!" He growls out.
"Like hell! even your wolf rejected us, get out!" I yell at him.
His eyes keep switching between hazel and gold, telling me that his wolf is trying to take over.
"YOU ARE STILL MINE!" They growl out together.
"No I'm not, now get out you don't deserve me!" I growl
He pounces on me crashing us onto my bed, but I bet he was thinking that was all he had to do but no. I caught him off guard with my fighting skills and I didn't even have to shift.
"Holy shit! You're strong!" He growls out finally managing to pin me. Even so I still wiggle trying to fight my way free while snarling at him.
"You're mine and you're not anyone else's remember that, here so you have proof." He says, I only have time to scream "NO!" Then I feel his teeth sink into my neck. This asshole just marked me, without my permission is the last thing I'm conscious of then I'm out.

Derek's POV

Oh shit I just marked her without her permission, shit that wasn't supposed to happen yet.
When I first found out she was my mate I wondered why she didn't realize I was there. Then I followed her to her locker and she still had no reaction.
It must mean she isn't strong, my wolf says sounding disappointed.
"I don't know about that Felix," I had said to him but after looking her up and down she didn't compare to the new teacher and I was going to hit that.
Then we need to leave them, Felix sounds bored, but I can feel the thought hurts him, but we need someone strong and she isn't.
When she finally noticed us she jumped, her eyes are mesmerizing and she is good looking but I still want to sleep with the new teacher.
So I start to reject her but realized I don't know her name.
"You're a moron, I, Jessica Mills reject you Derek Summers soon to be Alpha of Calm Waters pack as my mate."
What the Fuck! Felix took over not liking the disrespect, "DONT DISRESPECT ME GIRL" he tells her, then she asks if it's just me or both of us that dont want her and he tells her that it's both and for a second the anger in her eyes is replaced with so much hurt. Then she tells us that we are stupid and that her and her wolf deserve better than us, again Felix and I want to say something but she turns and walks away without looking back.
I should have known then she was stronger than we had thought but I was too focused on getting in the new teacher's pants. So what if she is almost three years older than me or was it two? Who cares she hot. During last period I successfully got in her pants.
It wasn't as great as I thought it would be, don't get me wrong I made good use of my condom but it left me feeling hollow.
The next day she wasn't in our class anymore, for a second I was worried she ran away but Felix said, "she's here somewhere I can feel it."
That put me at ease but we shouldn't care right, then I remembered we are still connected, I didn't reject her, and I didn't accept her rejection.
Maybe if I try to get to know her, maybe this hollow feeling will fade.
When I finally saw her it was in the lunch line, as soon as I got close I smelt another male on her. I was so pissed I started to growl but I didn't do anything rash. Then she sat next to Tony Rush, and I realized the scent is his. I couldn't stop growling all throughout lunch I just glared at them sitting next to each other, I was so pissed I didn't even eat.
When the last bell rang I followed her scent outside and she was getting in his jeep, ok that's it! I ran over there before they could leave and yanked her door open. She was surprised then she saw it was me and I tried to pull her out but she punched me in the nose breaking it and I fell backwards shocked at the strength she just used, then she told me to fuck off and slammed her door and they left.
Shit! I went to the pack doctor so they could fix my nose so it wouldn't be crooked. With my quick healing it was like nothing had happened two hours later. I had Felix track her to her house for us, he was just as pissed as me that Tony's and Winston's scent is all over our mate.
So when we get there we pound on her door, let me handle this Felix, he grumbles out an ok then I go back to pounding on the door. Then I get the bright idea to yell out to her and do till she opens a window above me off to the right and sticks out her head. I try getting her to let me in but she refuses, then she says that she knows that I had sex with the new teacher and I ask how she knows and she tells me to ask the new teacher because she would know. Then she closes the window and locks it, I go back to knocking on the door only at a much more normal knock. I knocked for another hour and a half not once did she show herself again.
I left to talk to my cousin Sammy she works as a doctor at the pack hospital and she tells me that for mated wolves who's mate cheats on them it like having their insides being burned, stabbed, and crushed over and over. It's one of the worst pains you can experience and it doesn't stop till their mate does.
I left feeling like I was shell shocked, how could I do that to her? We did Felix says depressed. Later that night I tried getting her to wake up and talk to me by tossing pebbles at her window but she didn't bother to answer.
"We need to get to mate the bond is fading!" Felix says panicked, so I looked for a way in. I found a spare key in the back and let myself in. Following her scent I found her in her room sleeping with air buds in her ears.
She looks so beautiful how could I hurt her like that? Taking off my jacket, shoes, and pants I slip into bed with her. I carefully hold on to her and take in her clean scent, soon I'm asleep.
I wake up to her yelling at me to get out, and how she is no longer mine, so immediately I let her know that she is in fact mine, I wasn't about to let Tony Rush take her from me. SHE IS MINE.
I'm not sure how it all started but we started fighting and she is really good and she's really strong. She said it again, that she isn't mine and I snapped. "I told you, You're mine and you're not anyone else's remember that, here so you have proof." She screamed out "NO" but it was too late I sank my teeth into her neck marking her as mine. Then she passed out and I licked her clean then lifted her back to her bed. Now I'm kind freaked out, I didn't give her a choice but she didn't give me one either, I need her, I'll do right by her starting now, anything to make her happy, anything but letting her go! I think as I snuggle in beside her and fall back to sleep.
