Prologue
“Mom! Oh god mom, speak to me! Please say something!” I screamed shaking her,
My mind was spinning, just watching her on the floor, Blood pouring out from her forehead, her lips parted trying to say something, I helped her lifting her head up and she whispered lowly
“Sweetie if I don’t make it out, I want you to run out of here, Run as fast as you can. I want you to promise me that you will keep this with you, always and forever”, As she said that she slowly wrapped her hands around mine and opened my palms putting a crimson necklace on my palms and closing it, Then she planted a kiss on my hands, she slowly then let’s go of my hands and dropped to the floor.
“Mom! Please wake up; we have to get out of here!” I realized that my mom wasn’t moving anymore, I slowly put my ears close to her heart to hear her breathing but she wasn’t. My mom was dead, tears scrambled from my eyes making her image fuzzy. I tried to say something Anything But I couldn’t, I wanted to plead, to beg, anything so she could come back to me but I couldn’t she was gone .
Time stopped and I couldn’t hear the police sirens or the ambulance either, It was like my mind was shut from reality, It was dark, tears rolled down my eyes down to my chin and I dropped to her stomach, Softly hitting her and crying. How could she do this to me, How could she leave me when I needed her, Why! why was everything in my world such a pain and sorrow, No happiness or laughter, No fun or smile. Someone grabbed my hands and was taking me away from my mom, It was the polices. I didn’t want to leave her , Suddenly I was pushing from them fighting trying to go back to my mom, I looked back at my mom slowly drifting away from me and I gave up Looking down and sad.
.
Ten years later, I had Amnesia and it was like I was a new person, a new soul, I don’t remember any of my family, also it was like my brain couldn’t even try to remember them, and I would have to live with this, a least that what the doctor told me. I was in foster care for about ten years and somehow I ended up with a family when I was fourteen, doctors told me that my parents had died in some car accident, I don’t even remember how my mom or dad looked like… somehow I felt no emotion towards it.
I was half asleep rolling off the bed and falling on my floor when my foster mom came into the room.
“Riley!! Wake up you going to be late for school, Breakfast is done so come get it”, she said basically screaming
“Ok mom!” I sighed and said back.
I don’t remember getting ready for school or even eating breakfast. In fact I am not even sure that I had breakfast But somehow I found myself standing in front of my school, it was a big school considering my parents were the amazingly rich folks, But I wasn’t into the flashy cars and amazing outfits, I mostly wore hoodies and walk to school., But My mom always wanting me to use their money mainly because I was the only child, they couldn’t have children cause of a disease I couldn’t remember.
“Heyy! Riley! “Someone called from behind me shocking me
“Heyy Dana aren’t you cheery as always”, I turned around facing my best friend, Dana…. Dana was amazing she was always there for me, and she was a cheery and bubbly girl.
“Well for a girl that wears hoodies mostly 24/7 aren’t you beautiful as always”, she shot back at me making me smile and laugh
“Anyway, why are you wearing different clothes and different shoes and different everything?” I eyed her outfit and looked back at her.
She just smiled at me and winked saying “Well you know most people stand out when they wear different things” ,I was about to say something until the bell rang and we went inside the school going to our lockers together.
I went to my locker and put the code in opening it, noticing Dana leaning her back on the locker beside me and sighing.
“Ok spill it what wrong?” I said looking at her
“Oh nothing”, she replied and sighs again.
“Then why in god’s name are you sighing”, I questioned looking at her again.
“Because some new dude is coming to our school and he is your class”, she said almost yelling it
“And what your point”? I told her taking my books from my locker.
“Well, what if he is hot and sexy and you can’t stop looking at him? “She said almost sounding serious about me liking a guy, truth was I never liked a guy, I always stayed away from guys because they alone wanted one thing and I knew sure in hell I wouldn’t give them that.
I burst out laughing and she said; something again in a whisper “Hey I am serious what if this is your perfect chance, what if the god of boyfriends is giving you one right now and you wasting it.
“Wait wait hold on”, I said trying not to laugh “What is this god of boyfriends thing?” I asked her.
“Well, you know…. girls are from Venus and boys are from I don’t know”, she said with a straight face.
“You get weirder and weirder every day you know that right?” I blurted at her smiling
“Are you confessing your love to me?” She giggled and did that half smile she always did.
“Maybe I am, maybe I am not”, I said at her shutting my locker and faced her again “Hey want to walk me to class? “
“Sure sweetie, but think about it maybe you do need a boyfriend to deal with your emotional crap”, she said turning to me and we both walk to my class and she looked waiting for me to enter, then leaving for her class.
I walked into my class and sat at my normal sit in the back and looking outside the window staring, when the teacher came in and starting writing on the board I noticed something that I didn’t take the time to noticed , she was actually pretty, what am I saying she was beautiful, She had long straight hair, a slim but prefect body and her face was like she could make a guy drool just by looking at him, And her name was even cute too “Miss Casey” what guy wouldn’t want that huh, Compared to me with my hair that was always in a messy bun and me not even wearing makeup cause I hated those things.
“Miss Riley?” My teacher called me shocking me.
“Y-yes Ma’am?” I said turning to face her and shuddering.
“Please pay attention in my class”, she shot up and told me walking back to the front of the class.
“Y-yes I will of course”, I said shuddering again, I never was able to control my shyness in front of people.
Anyway, She continued talking and said something I couldn’t hear, But then this guy came in with his bag on one shoulder, He had a white t-shirt and jeans, He was Seriously I mean seriously hot, his face was like breathless, I had turned my face from staring at the window to this hot piece of meat, Had Dana Been right about this god of boyfriends thing, I mean sometimes Dana said stupid and crazy things but half of them were true… I wondered and suddenly I saw myself drooling a little and then I put my hoodie on and looked away, I did not want to face this guy again , No way he smelled of rich spoiled kid.
Jake (P.O.V)
I got out of the car, saying bye to my brother and putting my hands in my pocket, I opened the front of the door to the school and someone greeted me supremely.
“Hi there you must be Jake Million”, the lady in front of me said softly
“Yea, I am and I am looking for the principle”, I told her sighing
“Ok he is in the office, just walk straight and turn the corner”; she directed me and walking past me.
“Oh ok thanks”, I turned around and thanked her, turning around again I walked straight noticed the building, it was like a castle, open areas, everything was in white and sliver with a little bit of red, I got to the office and open the door, Then asked another lady if she could tell me where to find my schedule quickly telling her I was new, she gave me my schedule and some new books I haven’t seen before.
“Your locker will be arranged Mr. Million”, She said saying my last name and it pissed me off knowing my family was known as the second richest family in the world, and I hated it , I didn’t like the honor of being that way just because someone had money .
“Alright, thanks”, I said taking my books and my schedule and dash off to the class, I was looking at the schedule before knocking and noticed I had English and science in the same class, before I knew it I was walking into the class and looking around to blushing and eyes balls staring at me.
“Oh Mr. Million nice to meet you, glad to have you in my class”, the teacher said praising me like I was a god.
“Uh-um Please call me Jake”, I told her , I wanted to have a normal school life but no of course every time someone would do that, anyway as I turned to face the class I saw some girl, I saw her deep blue eyes checking me out and I stared back, when our eyes met, it was like she was looking into my deep soul, and my eyes changed into golden and I looked away ,she was beautiful, she was in a hoodie which by the way made it even hot, She had deep blue eyes that I could stare for a whole day, she was making me into something else and I have never felt like this before.. Was this what they call love at first sight? In an instant my wolf called and said “IT HER! She our mate” and I growled under my breath saying “Mate”.
When she had realized I had noticed her checking me out, her cheeks turned red on her perfect heart shaped face surrounded by dirty blond hair and those lips… I just wanted to taste those lips! I’ve decided, I was going to make her mine, and I always get what I want!
“Mr. Mill-I mean Jake”, she corrected herself and smiled.
“Yes?”, Looking around I noticed where I was again, in school, in class with a mate I was willing to make out with in front of this people.
“Your seat... It beside Miss Riley please go take a sit”, When she said that I shot up a look scanning the room for anyone that looked like a Riley... and she pointed to the sit like she read I was struggling, I sighed and walked to the sit and sat down noticed the girl beside me. It was her. This was going to be harder than I thought.
I didn’t know the day flew by so quickly, until I noticed I was in 7th period already and all I remembered was I was in class with an incredible guy and all I did was ignore him and did my work and here I am, I started doing some math when the teacher gave us work to do, I was then thinking about that guy, his name was “Jake million” I remembered and started thinking maybe his last name was million caused he has a family with lots of million , A lot of things came into my minds and I was laughing thinking Maybe he had a million heads, I shake my head and sighs, slowly stops smiling and suddenly something startled me and I noticed it was the bell for the next class.
Walking out of the class, Miss Casey called me back asking me to stay while everyone else left, she asked me to sit and sounded serious which made me confused because I always stayed away from getting in trouble and from “Popular people”.
“Miss Riley, you are the top student in my class and I find it amazing, you really should think about joining the debate team, they really could use your help”.
“B-but I don’t know about that... it really not my area and I don’t think I can fit in”, I told her lying, The only reason I couldn’t join teams or club was because my parents always warned me not to join them and it was always hard knowing I was skilled in all my subjects but they never understood why I didn’t want to so as always I had to lie.
“Just think about it, maybe you could change your mind about it sometime”, she told me getting up from her seat and opening the door for me to go.
“Thank you for telling me and I will think about it”, I told her lying again and walking out going straight to my locker.
I opened my locker shoving my books inside, taking my schedule out and reading noticing the next class was gym, the one subject I hated was gym, because I never liked showing my skin in shorts and we always had to wear it.
We had to go outside for gym because it was pretty warm and hot so I hurried and got dressed for gym class and met up with Dana outside; Dana had forgotten her water bottle inside so I told her I would get it for her since I forgotten Mine too.
Walking inside the school, I saw Dana older brother Jacob, Jacob was 23, and a nice, caring guy , He protects his little sister so much, He was also the only brother dani had: Their parents were divorced so she had to live with her brother, He was taking care of her Until she finished school, a least that the story Dana told me, Jacob walked over to me and asked “where’s Dana” In a low and deep but calm voice, telling me she had forgotten her folder at home and he wanted to return it to her, I looked over at the courtyard and slowly he followed my gaze to look where I was looking at, suddenly he spotted his little sister and said in a soft whisper “Thank you” and ran off.
