My Mate?

A Word

Winters POV

I have to go back to school today and I'm not looking forward to it. I'm scared. I don't know what's going to happen. This morning I completely bunked off all of my duties. I just can't be dealing with it. I'm way too stressed about it all. I made sure Jasper took over. I'm not a bad Alpha I swear but the sooner this day is over the better I will feel.

I check my timetable and I have 3 hours of psychology and nothing else today. Well this is going to be fun. I pack my bag and start to get ready for a very long day. I check the time and it's 7:30.

I better head off or I will be late for school I said to myself.

I pick up my bag and go and meet Willow at our bikes.

"How you doing this morning?" She asked me.

"I'm really fucking scared. I don't know what's going to happen to me. I can't fuck this up for myself or I could loose her for the rest of my life. I need her. My wolf needs her" I said getting faster and faster before stopping to catch my breath.

"Calm down. Please calm down. We will sort this out. If you get kicked off we will fight to get you back on. We will find a way to make this work" she said to me calming me down a lot.

"Thanks Willow" I said to her pushing off and riding to school.

When we got to school we locked up our bikes and headed to homeroom however before I could even make it there I was pulled aside by the school principal.

"Winter I need to have a word with you before your first lesson" he said to me leading me towards his office.

Oh shit

When we got there Miss Miller was also at his door. Well I know what this is about.

"Please. Both come in" he said to the both of us.

I sat down in-front of his desk while Miss Miller stood behind him.

"It was brought to my attention that there was inappropriate behaviour between you and Miss Miller. Am I correct?" He asked me.

I paused for a second. I didn't know what to say. What to do. I just froze. "Miss Hill?" He questioned me again bringing my attention back.

"Yes. I'm so sorry sir. I'm sorry Miss Miller too. I don't know what I was thinking. I know what I did was wrong. Please though don't punish her. It was my fault. Please punish me instead. If you want to kick me off my course then please do but just don't punish her" I begged him.

"That's all I needed to hear" he said. "Winter. Me and Miss Miller had a discussion last night. We are not going to kick you off your course. You're a bright young lady who we think will excel at psychology however if anything like this occurs again then there will be consequences" he said to me.

"Oh thank you Sir. I really appreciate this. I promise nothing like this will ever happen again" I said to him picking my bag up and leaving his office.

I went straight to find Willow to tell her the good news.

Miss Miller's POV

I was nervous this morning. I had no idea what Winter was going to say. Was she going to lie and make me look like a fool or was she going to tell the truth.

I don't know why but I could see her lying to try and safe herself and make me look like the biggest idiot in the world. I literally will have begged for the earth to swallow me up whole if that had happened. However that didn't happen. She told the truth. I mean she was quiet for a minute but she told the truth.

She even begged the principal not to punish me and that it was all her fault and that she will accept any punishment that is coming her way. But why? Why did she beg to him like that. Does she really care that much about me that she would try to stop any punishment coming my way. I need to know why. I need to know why she even kissed me in the first place. There were no signs given to her to show that I was interested in the slightest way possible. I need to know!

Winter's POV

I've finally found Willow. It took a good 10 minutes but finally found her. "How did it go?" She asked me.

"Great" I said "I can stay on my course. They are letting me stay!"

"Winter that's great news!" She said to me as we are both jumping up and down with excitement. Then we heard the bell to indicate the start of period 1.

"Shit. We don't want to be late" I said to Willow. We both run down to psychology thankfully beating Miss so she won't know we were late.

The day went pretty slowly. To be honest I felt a little awkward in class and now that I don't help out in her lessons I don't know what to do with myself in my free periods. However my final lesson with her today is coming close to an end and thank god it is.

I just feel super awkward in her lessons now.

"Ok guys so I want you to complete this homework on aggression by next Tuesday. So this gives you the weekend and Monday to do this. Anyone who doesn't have this completed will have a detention." She said to the class. "You can leave once you have cleared up" she said to the whole class.

"Winter. Can I have a word with you" she said to me. I turned to Willow. "Will meet you back with the pack" I whispered to her making sure no one heard. I deliberately started to pack up a lot slower and it paid off. The whole class was empty by the time everything was in my bag. Now it was just me and her.

"What can I help you with Miss?" I asked feeling very nervous.

"Why?" She asked me.

"Why what Miss?" I asked confused.

"Why did you kiss me? I wasn't giving you any signs that I wanted a relationship with you or even a kiss. So why did you kiss me?" she asked giving me more detail.

"I can't tell you why?" I said. She made a look of confusion. "Look if I tell you then you can't tell anyone else ok and this will not only change my life but will mainly change yours" I said. "You might want to sit down for this"

"I'm a wolf. In fact I'm the Alpha wolf. I'm half wolf and half human. I can shift between wolf and human when I please. One thing about werewolves is we know who are mates are. Our mates are our soulmates. The only person we need is them. The reason I kissed you Miss is because you are my mate. However you're human which meant you didn't know I was your mate. Werewolves mates are usually other werewolves which means we can both tell who are mates are. As you're human like I said you didn't know this." I said worried about what she would say.

"Haha Winter. Now tell me the truth and don't make up a story" she said.

The only way I can prove this is by shifting but I know if I do that then I'm either gonna have to go home with no clothes on or go home in my wolf form.

"Look into my eyes Miss" I said starting to shift. My eyes when dark. Bitch black however I stopped when Miss Miller look horrified.

"Like I said. I'm a werewolf"
