Chapter 6 Death news

We ended the last lesson, it is now recessed, I stood up and left the class. I could hear stomping feet beside me and I know that Lina was marching behind me.

She's probably stomping hard on the ground purposely to remind me of her presence.

I continue to walk until I got to the cafeteria, I told the chef what I want and it was served to me. I could hear Lina telling them what to give her too.

After she was done, we left together to find a chair. We sat down as we began to eat.

She smiled."How did your mating go?"

"Horrible" I expounded.

" Um. What!" Her eyes widened as she stare at me"Why say that? The mating process is always amazing."

Hearing her say that my eyes burn as tears begin to trick down.

"Fuck! What's it, Kat?"

"He didn't mate me" hiccups."He didn't."

"What happens?"

I opened my mouth and told her everything that happen including the corpse man that bites me.

Ohmygod! Ohmygod! She exclaimed at intervals as I narrate my ordeals to her, how my supposed mating day went.

When I was done, she was crying just like me.

She stares at my neck."Is the mark still there?"

I nodded."I concealed it with makeup."

"God!" She raise her hand to her mouth, there was fear in her eyes.

"What's it, Lina? Why are you scared?"

"You...you might die."

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" I asked fear evident in my tone.

"When you find your mate, and another wolf mark you before him, you will die after two days."

Oh, god! "You are joking right?"

I prayed she would say yes, it is just a joke. But she didn't which made me more terrified. Carolina, joke a lot but not to this extent.

"What is going to happen? I don't want to die." I cried.

"Did mum know?"

I shook my head"She would tell dad and you know what he would do when he finds out. Even my sister will get to find out, and together they will ruin my life further. "

"That would be terrible." She cringed, probably thinking of the aftermath.

She sighed weakly."I don't want to lose you, Kat."

"I don't want to die either." I pause briefly deep in thought and I could see she is as well in deep thought too.

"Is...is there no solution ." I stammered out hoping there would be.

She was shaking her head no' when suddenly her eyes twirl briefly in excitement before it dims down and was replaced by sadness.

"The only solution is Zavier biting you on the same spot. In that way, you could share life with him and you won't die as long as he is alive."

"If he bites me he would also mark me."

"That's the solution." She said sadly.

"Without that, you might die after seven days. It is true not made up. Anyone marked by another wolf dies after seven days except with their mate's interference."

I stood up."I will go find him...Zavier. I will tell him."

"And you think he would agree. He didn't mate you when you visited him what makes you think he would now." She asked dragging me to sit back down.

But I refused, struggling to leave while she held me tight."He humiliated you, remember?"

"That's because of those girls ."

She shook her head."No. It's because he doesn't care about you. He doesn't want you either."

"No, he does. He just thought I am still a kid. I will prove to him that I am now a grown-up." I argued.

"He will hurt you, Kat."

"No, he won't. He will accept and mark me, he won't want me dead."

"Like he gives a fuck if you live or die." I heard her mutter. The word stung like a bee bite, especially coming from my best friend and I felt my eyes water.

"He does. He really does." I muttered back. More to myself than her. It was as if I was trying to convince myself to believe what isn't true. I kick against the thought.

'If he hates me, he will reject me.' With that consolation, I made up my mind to tell him and let him mark me too.

As I was still standing, convincing Lina, swiveling her to believe that Zavier cares about me.

A great pleasant saint wafted into my nose and I close my eyes inhaling the amazing scent. It was intoxicating, so I sniff the air-breathing more of it with my eyes close.

I heard some noises and I snapped them open, looking to see what is going on.

I saw my mate marching in and I smile. I snatch my hand from Carolina and I run to my mate Zavier who was coming in. I hugged him and he froze.

"Sorry," I mumbled, shifting away from him. He tried to walk past me but I held his hand.

"I have something to tell you," I said. I prayed he won't ignore me and pass. I can feel Lina's eyes on me, on us.

Luckily, he didn't.

"Be fast about it. I don't have time to waste."

I nodded and begin to tell him everything. How I was marked by a strange guy, and how I want him to mark me so I won't die.

When I was done, I look at him and saw him looking at me in disgust.

"You want me to sink my teeth into your rotten body." He exclaimed loudly dragging everyone's attention as they turn to watch the drama before them.

"Please don't shout. Others would hear." I whispered, begging.

"Really?" He whispers back.

I nodded.

He smirk and held my hand dragging me to the front."Listen up, everyone."

All eyes turn to us.

"This girl right beside me Katrina Quiz is unfortunately my mate. She isn't just ugly she is a cheap whore and a weak pathetic girl with the weakest wolf. She slept with another male and also let another wolf mark her, so, I Zavier Dantes hereby reject her as my mate" He yelled before pushing me.

I find myself falling, but before I could reach the floor a hand grab me.

I look up to see a tall man, about 612 inches to 7 inches holding me firmly. His face was covered in a hoodie.

He looks strange.

His hand held me tightly, staring fixedly at me while I stared back trying to unveil his look when I felt another hand on me.

I turn, it was Lina. "Are you okay?"

I gave off a bitter smile." I would be."

I pulled away from the strange man and I was engulfed in a warm hug. Lina hugged me trying to make me feel better.

After some time she disengaged from me and face Zavier, her eyes spitting fire.

"You could have done this privately, why humiliate her in front of everyone?"

"Because she is a bitch and bitch like her deserves something like that."

"You bastard!" She roar moving towards him but her mate held her back.

I heard the students murmuring, insulting, and cursing me. When I turn to look at them I couldn't stand the look of disgust in their eyes so I ran out.

I heard Lina calling me but I didn't stop. I want to be alone. Far away from everyone and I was glad when I didn't hear her running foot behind me and I know she must have stayed behind to give Zavier a piece of her mind.

I continue to run until I reached the janitor where I know no student is allowed to be. I enter there and sat on the floor bailing my eyes out.

I let my tears fall. Allowing it to wash my pain away. Allowing it to fill me until the point of gasping. My heart hurt like shit as I thought of how my life turned out to be different.

Nothing is working for me. Pains, torment, rejection that's all I get from everyone.

I was still deep in my misery when I felt a presence in the janitor's room. My heart froze, I turned horrified to see the hoodie man before me.

"Audrey." He called.
