Chapter 103
“It’s just a few items. Aunt Marcy needs them to make dinner.” Naomi calmly explained while Barton got into the car.
“Okay. Just text me the list and I’ll get them for you p>
“Thank you p>
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward when Daniel arrived outside the gates in his sling bag A.K.A backpack for school.
Without sparing him a glance, she just walked past him, almost like she was in a hurry to get away from him.
He tried to go after her,
’Don’t push it Daniel.’ Barton warningly said, using the mind link, and watched as his cousin sighed in defeat, getting into the car to seat side by side with him before turning on the car ignition.
“What’s up with Naomi p>
“You’re up with her, that’s what. She’s mad at you p>
“But why p>
“Are you really asking me that type of question. Like you seriously don’t know p>
“I know we haven’t been on… the best terms, but these days, it’s like she doesn’t even want to breathe the same air as me p>
“You rejected her,” Barton starts counting off with his fingers while staring ahead, half focusing on the steering wheel. “You don’t even trust her. You think she’s an enemy so you willingly let her leave with the Kitsunes that night p>
“Why is she even here p>
“Ask her yourself, and since she has the power to reject you, don’t you think she alsohas the power to mark you, rather than the other way round p>
“So p>
“You should be worried about her decision once she leaves. She might reject you without a thought. I mean, why do you think she came back p>
“What do you mean ’Once she leaves p>
“Did you really think she just came back to stay? She’s heading back to foxtune. It’s already one week since she arrived p>
Daniel sighed and leaned his head back to rest on the head rest of the car seat.
“I can’t believe we’re on this on my way to school p>
“Imagine a werewolf mating with a fox.” Barton suddenly said and Daniel glanced at him with narrowed eyes.
Barton stiffled a chuckle.
“I’ll be fathering a f**king hybrid. No way p>
“What’s wrong with hybrids. Your daughter will be a beautiful child p>
“You’ve already assumed the gender.” Daniel smirked bittertly, readjusting the bag across his shoulders as they got close to the school compound. “Pity. But you and I know nothing of that sort isn’t happening between us. I won’t f**k Naomi p>
“You don’t f**k your mate, you make love to her. If you’re going to make Naomi hate you any less than she already does, you’ll have to learn how to treat a woman p>
Daniel stepped out, banging the door shut.
“Look who’s talking about treating a woman, and I really don’t care if she hates me to the point of rejecting me. I never accepted her in the first place either p>
Barton held onto the steering wheel, ready to leave.
“Principal Matthews one way or the other will have to expel you. This is the nth time since your first week here and you’ve missed more classes than I did when I was schooling here p>
“Kiara or Jones’s got me covered p>
“I’m just saying, just because you’re an Alpha doesn’t make you any less than a student p>
“Goodbye Barton p>
“Hey. What’s up with you and Kiara, the principal’s daughter”
“What do you want to hear p>
“Something you know I wouldn’t like to hear. We’re heading out tomorrow p>
“To where? I’ve been busy the entire week, and you’re dragging me off somewhere tomorrow. I’ll pass p>
“I’m helping you make up with your mate, so it’s either you’re going or I’ll have to force you. Your choice.” With that, he zoomed off, leaving Daniel to glare after the car.
Kiara and Jones were his friends, with one being the principal’s daughter and the other, happened to be the first boy he saw on his first day in school with Aunt Marcy whom he had to returned his wallet to, thus, the beginning of a friendship.
Jones was his study pal, ensuring his notes were completed on time and his homework was done too.
Kiara acted as his yandere, forcing all the love struck girls back into the corner when they saw how psychopathic and obsessed she was over him.
However, their relationship was just mutual with no sexual magnetism between them.
In return for all their help, the two got exclusive passes to visit the Alpha’s mansion whenever they wanted, so it was a win-win for the three since Kiara and Jones were living the dream of many.
As he walked in, the silence of the school was almost unbearable, like a cemetery, evident that classes had begun a while ago.
“And here I thought I was the only one who arrived late p>
He turned to see Kiara walking in with folded arms and a small smile.
“You went to see your mum p>
“Yeah. And I woke up late because I spent the entire night talking with her, you know, we had some catching up to do p>
Gamma Matthew and his wife, Ariana were divorced, and the Gamma got custody of his daughter and strictly prevented her from having anything to do with her mother.
Kiara loved her father, but she couldn’t bear living her entire life out without her mother, so she usually snuck out to see her, hoping her dad never finds out because he would kill her.
“Where’s your bag p>
“At the coffee shop down town p>
“You’re going clubbing today p>
“Yeah. Wanna join p>
“And watch you mix alcohol like a lunatic. No. Thank you p>
She chuckled and checked the bracelet wristwatch around her wrists.
“Well, we better head to class. We have history now and we just missed Math class p>
As Barton raced to the supermart, he got a text from Naomi, the list of things to buy for dinner.
After a while, he called her.
“I see why you’re mad at him but don’t you think it’s bothering him, I mean, you won’t even tell him why p>
“Who’s mad at who p>
He frowned.
“Where’s Naomi p>
“I just borrowed her phone for a bit. Is Daniel there p>
“He’s at school, Dora, and you should be having your online classes now p>
“Oh bummer. I didn’t get to tell him good morning p>
“I want to speak with Naomi p>
“You’re heading to the supermart, right p>
“So p>
“Can you get me something. I’ll text it to you p>
“Sure. Whatever. Now hand over the phone to the owner p>
