 @*@*@*@**@*@*@*@

Walking to our dorm I stormed into the lounge waiting for Christian to follow me.   Standing there with my hands on my hips I glared at him.   “Do you mind telling me what the hell is your problem?” I growled.

He shut the door and stood with his back facing me.  I could see him clenching and unclenching his hands.  “Why was Dante’s scent all over you when I found you? I thought you said you were in the bathroom?” he said quietly.

Realising where this was going I stood there speechless.  What do I do lie? Pretend that I don’t know what he’s talking about? Crappp I realise I'm stuck.

“He saw me dancing with some guy and thought I was drunk so dragged me to the bathroom” I said feeling my anger dissolving. 

“How come his scent is combined with yours….I could smell it on your breath Claud….. He’s kissed you again hasn’t he” he whispered quietly still clenching his hands with his back still facing me.

“uhhhh are we really going to have this conversation?” I said awkwardly turning around making my way to my room.  As I reached for the handle I felt a rush of air as I realised how close Christian was to phasing into his wolf. I spun around to look at him cautiously.

“If he’s kissed you then he’s told you how he feels hasn’t he?” he practically yelled at me.  “DID that bastard ask you to claim him?” He said glaring at me.

I couldn’t answer him, all I could feel rushing through my body was anger, frustration and a slight trace of guilt realising this was affecting Christian on a more personal level then it should have.

“Have you already chosen Claud?” he said growling.  I could feel his stress and tension rising.  I closed my eyes and focused on what I was going to say when I felt a hand reach out and trace my hand, looking up I realised we were inches away from each other.

“NO Christian I haven’t chosen anything , I’m just so confused about everything, my feelings for Dante, for Ant and for you” I whispered not wanting to meet his gaze.   “plus I have a mate out there that is waiting for me…. So no I haven’t made a decision yet”

“Just wait Claud, please promise me you will wait for your birthday before you choose your mate, you owe your real mate that.  If you chose another you know your real mate will go mate less for the rest of his life” he said looking at me like he could see right through me.

“honestly Christian I haven’t made any decisions yet…. I’m not stupid, I know the consequences of my decisions, they’ve been drilled into me since I can remember” I said staring back at him. I suddenly had the urge to throw my arms around him and apologise for kissing Dante, for making him angry for everything.   I felt my eyes starting to glow as I realised that idea sounded appealing.  

No…. No no no I couldn’t let myself do that…. It wasn’t fair on him or Dante.

“I'm gonna go to bed, I’ll see you in the morning” I said turning around and walking into my room shutting the door behind me.

I heard him sigh loudly and walk to his room shutting the door behind him.  I stripped off my dress and climbed into bed in just my underwear and I heard my phone tinkle from a msg.  Grabbing it  I realised it was a msg from Ant. 

**Hey beautiful, heard you went to bed early…. It’s a shame I was looking to having a dance with you, maybe we can dance in private another time.  See u in the morning – Ant**

** Yea pretty tired, have fun tonight.  See you 2moro**

**Don’t worry the only fun I want from now onwards is with you, sleep well my beautiful princess-Ant**

Rolling my eyes I put my phone down and tucked up tightly dozing off to sleep.

*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@

“Get UPPPPP Sleepy head!” I heard Christian yell from the outside of my room.  

“No…. go awayyyy” I grumbled snuggling into my the warmth of my blankets.

“If you don’t get up I'm gonna come in there and drag you out myself” he said again.  I couldn’t really hear him as I had already started to doze off to sleep.

The next thing I knew I felt my blanket being ripped off from me unravelling me like a roly poly.  TUHMPPPP my body smashed onto the floor.

“CHRISTIAN I'm going to KILL YOU” I growled instantly jumping to my feet as I heard his muffled laugh as he sprinted out of my room with my blankets in his arms. 

Turning around I ran out of the bedroom staring at his shirtless figure dump my blankets on the floor and run to the kitchen grabbing a bottle of ice water.  Turning around he smirked evily.  “Come near me and ill pour cold water all over you, and you are wearing white” he said as his eyes roamed my body lustfully biting his lip cheekily.

I looked down and realised I was wearing a white lacy bra and panties set.  Rolling my eyes as the anger of being abruptly woken up still coursed through my body.  “agh its only underwear Christian, I know you’ve seen hundreds of half naked women before, one more isn’t going to hurt, especially since ill be the last one you’ll see because I am going to KILL YOU for throwing me on the floor” I said as I stalked forward.

Before I lunged I felt him throw some water at me. As the ice water hit my body causing me to squeal my body twisted unexpectedly landing on his chest I reached out to punch him in the face but he caught my wrist.  Before he could smirk I lifted my knee, he anticipated my move and spun our bodies causing our centre of gravity to tip causing our bodies to plummet to the kitchen tiles.  I closed my eyes waiting for the painful impact. 

Feeling our bodies thump to the floor I felt my body hit Christian’s shirtless chest as I fell on him.  Looking up I noticed he was smirking smugly at me.  Before he could smirk any further I reached up past him with seductive smile on my lips.  Sliding my body upwards causing him to groan softly as his hands instantly reached up and cupped my hips as I felt him pushing my body into his grinding his body against mine. 

I reached out for what I was looking for.  Looking down at him I realised he’s expression had changed from playful to serious as his eyes glowed a bright golden as his gaze flicked between my eyes and my lips.  His hands tightened around my hips as I felt him rock my body against his again.  I couldn’t help but moan looking at him again he looked like he was about to reach up and kiss me.  Before he could I tipped the ice cold bottle of water over  his head as he sputtered and yelled at me.

Leaning down against him I slapped his cheek playfully.  “Wake me up like that again and the next bottle will be on your little friend down there” I said as a jumped up and stalked back to my room grabbing my blankets in the process.

I heard him laughing from the other room as a felt his thoughts invade mine.  “damm totally worth it seeing her in that sexy pair of underwear”

I nearly choked when I heard his thoughts. Shaking my head I realised… typical males!

I searched my bags looking for something suitable to wear.  Growling I realised that Stazey had packed so many skirts that I had to literally discard a whole suitcase full of skirts. I finally settled on a pair of black skinny jeans, a white singlet and a tan leather jacket.  Checking on my hair it was slightly wavy but would do for the day. Fluffing my fringe to sit properly I quickly went to put some make up on.  Looking into the mirror my blue eyes were shining.   I flicked a little mascara on my lashes and plumped up my lips with a bit of clear gloss.  Adjusting my necklace that held my family crest I smiled at the memory of my mother.  

Looking down further I realised you could see the edges of my birthmark  as the white singlet plunged a little lower then something I would normally wear.   I was about to take it off when something inside me stopped.  “I’m not going to hide it anymore I'm going to wear it with pride” I said out loud to myself.   My wolf was proud that  I was finally embracing my birthright.    I felt myself glow with power and happiness as my cheeks turned a rosie pink. 

Laughing to my own reaction I walked out of the room grabbing a pair of ankle boots and grabbing my allocated I-Pad. – No books for me I realised.

Walking out of my room I saw Christian in the kitchen cooking some breakfast.  “I made eggs” He said as he dished out 2 plates with scrambled eggs and toast.  Looking at him with a raised eyebrow, he grinned…. “You missed breakfast plus it’s a peace offering” he said with a roguish smile.

I couldn’t help but grin as a sat down and tucked into the eggs.  “So whats the plan for today?” I asked  looking up at him. 

“We have the head mistress address in 10 mins then we have a few classes.  Before we go to the address there’s been an update about the break in into your penthouse” he said seriously sitting opposite me at the small table.  “What kind of update”  I said looking at him with a worried look.

“The people who broke into the penthouse look like they were searching for something…. We’re unsure what it is but it seems to be important to them because they left everything else behind including expensive jewellery and money.” Christian said as he took a sip of juice.  “Also the culprits left behind a particular scent that none of the investigating Unspeakables could recognise”. 

I nodded as I thought hard about what on earth they could have been searching for.  “Ok well thanks for the update, keep my informed if any more information comes to hand” I said with a tight nod.  Finishing off our breakfast we both made our way to the head mistresses address.  We walked into a dome looking building.  Walking into a circular amphitheatre we took a seat next to a smiling looking Cassie and a glowing looking Emma.

“Heya” Cassie said with a grin.

Emma stood up and curled up next to an awkward looking Christian.  “Morning gorgeous” she purred into his arm. 

I looked at him with a confused look when I realised where he had taken off too last night while I was with Dante.   “Looks like we both have choices” I growled mentally to myself.  Christian’s head jerked towards me with a shocked look, as his eyes widened.

Realisation dawned on me.  He had heard that. – “oh crap” I mumbled to myself as Christian stared at me like I had 2 heads.  Before he could say anything my phone tinkled in my pocket.  Reaching out I saw another msg.  **You look amazing this morning beautiful… can you please ask your lap dogg to stop staring at you, that’s my job ;)**

I looked up to see Ant, Steven and a few friends seated across the other side of the amphitheatre.  My gaze met Ant’s as he grinned a sexy grin towards me.  I couldn’t help but notice how his golden hair was starting to curl around his ears.   His blue eyes sparkled as he mouthed “Hey” to me.  I couldn’t help but feel a warm blush rush to my cheeks as I tried hard not to smile, looking down. 

My phone tinkled again. **Don’t hide that smile from me… it makes my morning seeing you smile like that, PS your lapdog is still staring at you, and the other one at the front…damm beautiful how many wolves do I have to compete with?**

I looked up and nudged Christian. “Stop staring stalker”  He grunted as he frowned catching a glimpse of my msg from Ant.  Looking up I saw Dante staring at me.  He smiled softly as he caught my eyes.  I couldn’t help the small shiver rush through my spine as I smiled at my hands again.  Aghh I couldn’t look anywhere except at my hands. 

“Good morning everyone, Thank you for attending on time” a tall women spoke with a firm voice. 

I looked up to notice the head mistress standing at a small podium in the middle of the stage.

Feeling a number of different eyes on my I focused on what the Head mistress had to say.

“Welcome to the new additions to our school.  We hope you find yourself happy at our school.  I have an announcement to make.  I have just been informed that our school has been chosen to hold the prestigious Howling Moon tournament this year” she said with a wide smile on her lips.

With the announcement of this the school erupted into a fit of cheers and giggles.   I looked shocked at Dante. Who nodded slightly indicating he was aware of the situation. 

 “Now now settle down please.  For those who don’t know what the Howling Moon tournament is, it is a tournament held every 4 years.  The top 3 Were schools in the country nominate 2 she males and 2 wolves to represent their schools.  They compete in 3 different tasks demonstrating how skilled they are in there wolf forms.  The winning school at the end of the competition receives the honour of claiming the Howling Moon statue that currently resides with North Lakes High School plus the winners receive entry into any university of their liking.” Head Mistress explained. 

I saw a few extra eyes glimmer at that extra bit of information.  Looking around the room I realised even though a lot of these students came from wealthy families they were also very driven so receiving entrance into any university of there liking was obviously a very attractive idea.  

“The 4 champions will be seniors and chosen at the end of this week.  Senior classes have been suspended until the 4 students have been identified.  In the mean time all students will be required to attend a number of different workshops that will allow us an opportunity to assess your skills and talents.”   “First workshop will commence at the end of this address, I strongly suggest those who are serious about this opportunity that you fine tune your wolves skills for this competition.  Now, your probably wondering when this tournament will  commence.   The 8 other students will be attending from North Lakes high school and RoseHill Private Academy, who are in the process of nominating there champions also.  They arrive next Monday as the tournament commences that night”.  “ I cannot stress how important it is for you to be the gracious hosts I know you all to be”.  “Please consider our school and the prestigious reputation we hold and continue to show that through all dealings with both North Lakes and Rosehill’s champions”. 

“Now moving forward we have a new Professor to introduce.  This is Professor Dante, he will be selecting 2 of the champions.  The other 2 will be chosen by myself so please show him the same respect you would show me”  With this news all eyes were staring intently at Dante.  Most of the girls where whispering and giggling at how hot he was.  The guys were all nodding at him in respect hoping to get in good with him.  He smiled politely at the school but I felt his eye settle on mine and glow slightly. 

I felt Christian beside me stiffen slightly as he stretched his arm out and put one arm over my shoulder and another around Emma’s. Rolling my eyes I grinned at Dante slightly.  I saw him struggle to stop a smirk as he shook his head slightly. 

“Now the complete West wing of the schools property will be off limits with the preparations of the competition sites.  Those found in those areas will be excluded from being able to compete in the competition.  You will also receive and Alpha command from myself not to repeat what you found.  So be warned no manipulating your way into an easy advantage into the competition”.

“The first lot of work shops begin now.   If you please, all seniors turn on your I-Pads, you will be receiving your workshop schedules.  If your’s is a morning session please be ready in 10 mins, for those who are participating in the afternoon workshop I suggest you get some rest…. These sessions are full on, body and mind.  Good luck everyone! Your dismissed”

Turning on my I-Pad I groaned… I was in the first workshop and the first session was wolf combat.  Looking around all the seniors were staring at the small screens in their hands.  “Combat first up for me” I said looking at Christian.  “What do you have?” 

“Intellect this afternoon” he frowned.  “So we’re not together?” I asked confused. 

“Its cause you have Dante first workshop, he’ll want you to himself” he growled as he stood up and made his way out of the room with the rest of the students.

I felt someone weave there fingers into mine.  “Looks like we have combat together beautiful” Antonio said in a deep husky voice that caused my wolf to pur.

Great just what I don’t need… Ant and Dante in the same room….Seriously?? A small voice in the back of my head mumbled.. Two hot guys fighting for my attention…. Actually who was I kidding the thought excited the hell out of me.

*@*@*@*@

Thanks again!

For those who are confused... Claud can choose who ever she wants as a mate due to her royal gifts...or she can wait untill she turns 18 for her true mate to turn up...And she wont be able to tell if anyone in her guard is her mate because they are all wearing her royal mark (they all wear her royal mark to garunteee her saftey.  Once she releases them they can find their true mates) ---- but what happens when she turns 18? something special might happen to that royal mark...or will it??....she can also force/make mates if she wants too but she hasnt done that yet....

Does that make sense? just let me know if it doesn lol!!

Thanks and please VOTE and COMMENT!!!
