Bound to the Alpha, the Witch and the Vampire

 Moon's POV

I ignored the bell, as I walked towards my locker in a daze. I opened the lock, the flyer staring right at me. I sighed heavily, as I grabbed it.

Supernaturals' High. A place to find out where you are.

I crumpled the piece of paper in my hand and tossed it into the locker. Burying my head in it, I let out a guttural scream. Mom's words kept ringing in my head over and over again.

It's your new school.

"Hey, weirdo?" a voice said, and I looked up.

Sandra Mark's eyes bored into mine, her lips curled up in a smirk. Her friends beside her giggled.

I sighed. I wasn't in the mood for her bullshit. 

"Sandra, not now."

She stepped forward, gaze on me. "Or what?"

Sandra was Will's first, and had crushed on him for years. I knew she felt threatened by my friendship with Will, and was convinced I liked him. She'd had it out for me since then.

I closed my locker and sighed. I'd been doing that a lot lately, since the news about my transfer to Supernaturals' High.

"Sandra, don't you think it's a bit sad?" I asked.

She paused. "What is?"

I leaned closer to whisper in her ear. "Will told me all about it, you know?"

She stepped back, eyeing me suspiciously. "What did he tell you?"

She bit her lip, her eyes flitting to her sidekicks.

"Everything," I said, smirking.

Sandra had lied to the whole school that she dumped Will, when it was actually the opposite. The rumor spread like wildfire and boosted her popularity.

When in fact, she'd cried her eyes out, snot and all after Will dumped her. He wasn't bothered to deny the rumors to let her keep her dignity.

"Whatever he said is a lie," she said defensively.

"What's a lie?" Will asked, as he approached us and wrapped his arm around me.

Sandra's eyes bulged as she zeroed in on his arm, and I paused.

She still had feelings for him.

I smiled, and held his arm pulling him closer to me. His eyes widened in surprised and I winked. Sandra heaved in anger, her eyes blazing.

"About the night you and Sa--."

"Shut up!" Sandra yelled, and I turned to her.

I clamped my lips shut and smiled. She gave one last look at Will and walked away, her puppets in tow. I waited until she was out of sight and removed his arm.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

He frowned as he stared at me.

"What?"

"What was that all about?" he asked.

I opened my locker. "Nothing."

I packed my books one by one into my backpack, and turned to him.

"Don't you have class?" I asked.

"I do."

"So, what are you doing here?"

The look on his face was serious. "I'm here to stop you."

"What?"

He shook his head quickly. "I mean, to help you pack."

I zipped up my backpack, and closed my locker. "You're missing class."

He grabbed the bag from me and hung it on his shoulder. "Grump is always a bore."

Grump was Mr. Dominic's nickname. He was our math teacher, and he was---like his name---a grump. I'd never seen the man smile in the years I'd known him, and I knew how strict he was about cutting one of his classes.

"You can't cut Grump's class," I said.

He smiled, walking away. "Watch me."

I stared at the familiar hallways, and smiled wistfully. The scuffed tiles and ripped posters brought back memories---home, even if no one ever made me feel welcomed.

There was really nothing much to miss, but I still would. I'd spent years being hated and taunted for not fitting in. But, it was home. 

I was familiar with the bullies, and knew exactly how to handle them. And most of all, I had Will.

I stared at his back, as he skipped towards the exit. He was the only friend I had in the pack, and had been there for me during my difficult times. I didn't know if I could survive another hell turned high school without him.

He turned, facing me. "Come on."

I rolled my eyes, as I walked towards him, hiding my smile. I'd miss him, even if I didn't want to admit it.

We walked to the pack house in silence, through the woods. I kicked a stone, feeling his eyes on me.

"I'll miss you, Moon," he said.

I stared at him. "Maybe you can come visit."

He smiled. "I'd like that."

I sighed, looking away.

"I really wanted to come with you," he said.

I nodded. "I know."

Supernaturals' High was an elite school. It was filled with the richest vampires, werewolves and witches in the country. It was impossible to get admitted there without some sort of connections and power, and was filled with the snobbiest of the Supernaturals'---my least favorite kind of people.

I dreaded meeting them. I could barely deal with Sandra, imagine a whole school full of them. For a small pack like mine, we weren't exactly well-off. I had no idea how Mom had gotten me in, we were neither rich, nor powerful.

Will grabbed my hand, interrupting my train of thoughts.

"I need to tell you something, Moon," he said.

I looked away quickly, my heart beating faster in my chest. He looked serious, with no hint of a smile on his face. I knew what that look meant, and I wasn't sure I was ready to hear it.

"Will," I called.

He groaned, his eyes turning black. Geri, his wolf was trying to gain control.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

He blinked rapidly, clutching my hand tighter. He sighed, his eyes returning to the normal shade of brown.

"I like you, Moon," he confessed.

I pulled my hand away immediately, looking away.

"Will, I--."

He smiled. "I'm not expecting you to answer right now."

He pulled me into a hug, my pulse racing.

"Take as much time as you need." He pulled away from the hug, and stared at me.

"I'll be right here, waiting."
