Chapter 10 Tanya's POV

I felt eyes someone's eyes was watching my every move but I didn't give much thought to it, for I know it could be the other students of Mystique University who also saw me as an alien. After my class that morning, I headed to the cafeteria, I was hungry and since I hadn't eaten in the morning, the insects in my stomach were beginning to bite me profusely. I felt uncomfortable gazes on me, I wanted to disappear and reappear at the cafeteria but HA! I am no magician or witch.

I looked down the whole time as I took careful steps as though the ground was going to break if I walked any harder than I did. When I got there, the gazes never stopped, rather they multiplied. I made my way to the counter and ordered food mac and cheese. That was all I could afford at that time because I had run out of money. I placed the order and waited for a few minutes for it to be processed. After a little while, the counter attendant rolled over a tray to me. I carried the food from the counter and walked over to an empty table. I used my palm to wipe off the dust that lingered on the seat when I was done,

I placed the orange-colored tray on the table and proceeded to it. "So disgusting." Someone said behind me causing me to gasp. I raised my head and looked at her.

"Please, I just want to eat my food in peace, please can you just leave me alone? I pleaded.

"No, I won't leave you alone." She said.

I wanted to get up and leave when I heard another voice.

"Let her be." He said. She looked at him with a snort and walked away.

"Thank you," I said.

"You're welcome. You should learn to stand up for yourself here, I've seen them bully you too many times."

"Thank You." For the first time, someone apart from Monica was standing up for me, he was genuine, I could feel it in his voice, and at that moment, I thought I had made a friend. Before I made the move to ask him his name and major, he walked away. I returned to my bowl of mac and cheese which turned cold. I couldn't eat it again, sadly, I got up and left the cafeteria.

I walked home alone after school was over, that strange Samaritan's face and voice kept echoing in my head making me smile and blush, I would give anything to see him again. I got home and met Denise making dinner.

"Oh hey, you! She greeted me, and Denise was always in a good mood, I had never seen her without a smile.

"Hi, Denise! Making something to eat? I asked taking the bag off my shoulders.

"Yes Honey, I am. You look exhausted, had a stressful day at school yeah?

"I did and my schoolmates don't make it easy for me either, knowing I'll have to be there for the next three years gives me goosebumps."

"Just give it time, I'm sure you will be fine and they will come around." She said, the smile never leaving her face as she diligently whisked the white substance she held in a transparent glass plate.

I wondered for a moment what it was she was cooking. I thought pancakes, but who eats pancakes in the evening? Well, I guess Denise. Back home, we had pancakes only in the mornings, hence my confusion.

"I wish they do. Is like my presence causes them some kind of nausea. It's hard living there...and Denise? I called her attention. She looked up at me ready to listen to what I wanted to say.

"They keep referring to me as "that human" what does that mean? Are they not human like me? I feel strongly in my guts that something is wrong with this place, it has this looming eeriness".

"Oh c'mon, they are just trying to scare you. Well, I don't know about the eeriness but now that you've mentioned it, I'll look into it". Denise said so convincingly.

"I guess? Well, thank you, Denise, I'll go to my room now. Bye! She smiled and nodded. I walked lazily to my room.

TRISTAN'S POV

Finding one's mate especially as an alpha is one of the best things that can happen in the lives of our kind. Sky, my wolf was happy we found a new mate that would be our own, the one who completes us and will serve as a Luna. As an alpha, naturally, I was a strong wolf, the strongest amongst the whole pack. My name bred fear to everyone, even to the packs around us and I loved the fact that I was a dominant figure everywhere I went. I had this power, YES! But a part still needed my Luna to complete me in so many ways. My Luna is supposed to be a strong woman but she isn't close to strong. She is just a weak human who cannot even stand up for herself, the heavens must be playing a trick on me. How can such a weak human help me run the affairs of the pack successfully? My cabinet will look down on her and even on me. I thought to myself, what do I do? Do I reject her? No, I can't, the heavens of even shown us mercy by giving us another chance at having a mate and we were not going to throw it that way, maybe that was the last chance we had at having a mate. I could feel Sky already grumbling and making faces at me.

"We can't reject her, we need her now more than ever. You know these people do not subscribe to you being the alpha. Every day during the cabinet meetings you hear them question you concerning a Luna. That's because they know that her impact on the pack and tour life is very important. I suggest we give her some time to get accustomed to ShadowClaw and the people. We will win her over little by little too". Sky said. I heaved a sigh of relief at Sky's words, they made sense.

All I had to do was try and win over. My thoughts were halted when I felt Sky pacing, something was wrong somewhere, she was in trouble, it was easy to tell from the uneasiness I felt within me. The mate pull I had with her was so strong, it made me decipher what kind of emotions she was feeling at the time. I took my phone and called Tarrell, it rang for a few seconds then He answered;

"Where the hell are YOU?

"I am at Mystique, checking out these gorgeous young ladies".

"Tarrell, you have a job, do that job and give me positive results". I ended the call and walked out. I had a meeting with my cabinet. As much as I hated seeing the faces of those old wolves, I didn't have a choice but to go over there and preside. The guards at the Pack's boundaries sent information concerning some rogues that tried to enter our pack. They attacked them and killed two of the guards.

Events like this one usually put the pack on anxiety. The people begin to fear for their lives. As an alpha, this was when and where my power was needed and I was willing to keep them safe and completely out of trouble.
