She was waiting for her brother in law Cameron to pick her up after school. She was sitting by the cement wall behind the school gate. Her legs hanging down and she plays with a plain paper creating an origami while humming to herself, once she’s done she put it aside and try to make another.

Footsteps were heard near her she gawks aside finding her school former hot jock from her school achievement board photos staring more like glaring at her with his arms around himself.

Rumour has it that he was mostly fear by the kids in the neighboring pack and seeing him in front of her didn’t seem to give her fear. She waited for it but there was nothing creeping up her veins, it was like she knew him like she was closer to him. She finds it weird making her feel awkward, his hand reaches out and he pulls her down from where she was sitting.

Losing her balance, she waited for her face to hit the ground but he was holding her up, saving her young face from any bruises. Without words, he drags her to a secluded place, where there is just her and him.

“Name?”

he looks at her since he was an Alpha and a senior even though he's in college but still, he's her senior. So she told him straight away as she didn’t want to create trouble with him or with anyone else.

“Daniella Maynard,” she answers.

“Have you shift?” he asks her again

“no” her eyebrow went up

“why?” he growls at her making her cringe. “You’re a non-shifter” he whispers yell at her

“Ahhh no I’m sort of, not of age yet.”

His face looks pale he keeps looking at her then to the other aside, he was confusing her

“age” she just stood there.

“Age?” his voice was loud and clear to her now this time.
