Ezekiel

I watch from my place below the trees, as that laughable woman she calls her mother leaves her to the wolves. The stupid bitch has no idea the kind of danger her little girl is truly in being here. "So, that's the human that has you and Tibs in a tizzy?" I blow the smoke from my lungs, flinging the offensive cigarette away, as I look at my best friend with an eyebrow raised.

Roman looks my way, mirroring my stance, he raises his own eyebrow and dares me to argue. We stand like that, me leaning against the tree, my leg propped up and arms folded over my chest. He is standing there with his legs spread wide, and his own monstrous arms folded.

"You telling me that I'm wrong? That girl doesn't hold your attention?" he tilts his head to the side studying me.

I don't know what to say, for some reason unbeknownst to me that weak human does in fact hold my attention. It pisses me off! He must see the look in my eyes, my answer clear on my face as he begins to boisterously laugh. "I thought so." He turns to face where she stands looking at the papers her mother handed her. "Not that I blame you. She is pretty hot."

Before I even know what I'm doing my feet are moving toward him. A growl working its way up my throat as a warning. When I step up close to him, it doesn't phase him in the least. He's the only wolf in this world not afraid of me. I'm not sure how long we stand like this, me glaring, and him fighting a crude smile.

"Hey, hey what did we miss here?" I hear footsteps coming through the path, as Leo and Deluca step into our view.

"Staring contest? I have winner." I roll my eyes and walk away from my best friend.

"Not a staring contest you dumbass." I say as I walk by him.

I see him shrug his shoulders with a laugh, "Only because you know I'd kick your ass at that game. I mean I am the greatest." He holds out his hands dramatically, nodding his tilted head.

"Still full of yourself I see." I hear his voice, making me grind my teeth together. After what he pulled last night, he has a lot of nerve showing up here right now.

"Tiberius, how was the rest of your night?" I know it's a dick move, but I can't help myself.

He was trying to put all his slimy moves on the human last night. I didn't like it one bit. He gives me a devious smile, one that holds no humor. "I went and found Jezzie to keep me company." Rolling my eyes, I can't say I'm surprised by that.

He's a worse man whore than myself. When he can't get the girl he wants for the night, he spends his night inside Jezzie. They use one another for the release. Neither really has feelings for each other. Jezzie uses him to try and get to me, thinking I'll want her if she's sleeping with my frenemy. Tiberius only uses her for a warm hole to get his dick wet. His words not mine.

"Of course, you did." I hear Deluca say in disdain.

He's the most mature of us all. Keeps the rest of us on the straight and narrow. He's one of those rare werewolves that is looking for his mate, even though that hasn't happened in well over two hundred years. I lean once more against the tree, watching this play out.

"What? I wanted someone else for a few hours, but someone ruined that last night." He glares at me.

I do nothing but wink at him, causing a growl to come from his mouth. "She's human." The sound of Deluca telling him the facts has him giving his full attention to my friend once more.

"I would have been gentle with her."

"Not the fucking point." The words fall from my mouth before Deluca can answer him.

"She knows nothing about our world and judging by how she reacted last night I would say she's clearly a virgin." My words cause his eyes to light up, as he licks his lips. I know that look, he wants her even more now.

"You are to stay as far away from her Tibs as I say. I mean it."

He takes a few steps in my direction, "Or what Zeek? You going to make me?" I laugh at his antics; I know he's trying to get a rise out of me. He always does, but nothing ever works.

"If he doesn't I sure as hell will." Deluca says out loud.

Tiberius pays him no mind, he's still staring at me, anger held deep in his eyes.

"Hey who wants to hear a joke?" Leo asks trying to cut through the tension filling the air around us.

"Sure, why not." I see Roman shrug his shoulders as he walks closer to me and Tibs.

I know he will get between the two of us if anything goes down. I hear Leo say something, but since I'm not fully listening, I don't hear everything. He laughs as Deluca knocks him on the shoulder, and Roman laughs hysterically. Telling me it was a perverted joke if those are their reactions.

"Well, I say lets head into the dorms. Time to start our final year here before we take over for the 'rents." Leo puts out the cigarette he was puffing away on, picks up his backpack from the ground, shrugging it over one shoulder.

He and Deluca walk off, as Tibs gives me one final look. I walk past him, hitting his shoulder in the process. Roman catches up with me. Even though I have my back facing him, I am on high alert. Tiberius is cooking something up, what it is I haven't a clue, but I'll make sure to be three steps ahead of him.
