~Jenna~

I bang my head on the dressing room wall, while Janet runs around store talking to herself.

"NO!-THIS ONE!-no this one would match so much better!! Wait! What was that!?"

I sigh and turn around and see her rushing around grabbing anything that catches her eye. She come back running with her arms full with clothes.

She pushes me back in the room and squeals. "Go! Go try them on!" She slams the door shut and I sigh. I drop like the ten pound of clothes and rub my eyes.

We've been in the damn store for the past five hours. She can't seem to stop running around and picking up crap.

Fûckin bull shit man!

I start to pick up anything that was a dark color, but Janet being Janet, she picks bright colors.

I close my eyes and take in a few breaths.

You're fine. You're fine. Last time you'll ask for help.

I start to change and I step out.

I placed on some ripped jeans and a loose shirt.

She was gone.

I blew a strand of hair that was falling in front of my eyes and sagged my shoulders.

I start to head back in but I heard her running back.

"JENNA!! THIS ONE!! I SWEAR!! TRY IT ON!" She pushes me back in the room and I barely caught my footing before I fell backwards. The door slams shut and I can hear her jumping up and down.

I look at it and it's a black high waisted skater skirt with a stripped crop top. I sighed because I always hated skirts.

I tried it in and looked through the mirror in there. The skirt hugged my hips nicely and it made my butt look wider. The shirt made the allusion of making my chest look bigger.

I walked out and that's when I had to cover my ears from her scream.

"THATS IT!!! IM BUYING!!!"

I gave her awkward smile and walked back in.

I changed and I got to choose some ripped jeans and some shorts because of the summer heat is about to come. I also got some t-shirts. I choose black converses and white ones too.

We packed her car with the shopping bags and she offered to pay to go eat.

We ate at some diner and I just tried to eat some pasta to see if it can go down smooth. Janet got a bacon burger and would shove it in my face telling me I should try it.

I continued to eat my shrimp alfredo and surprisingly I managed to finish my plate.

"Soooooo, how's your mate?" She wiggles her eyebrows and dipping her fries in ranch.

I roll my eyes and give her the middle finger.

"Oh come on! He can't be that bad!"

I glared at her and pointed at my neck. She looks at it and she turns red. "Oh. My bad."

I gave her the look 'oh sure you did'.

"I FORGOT OKAY!" She yells.

I look at her and then look around and seeing people looking over their shoulders towards us.

"Sorry." She waves her hand towards them.

I shake my head and drink my strawberry lemonade. I nod my head towards her and she tilts her head in confusion. I move my hand telling her to go ahead and speak.

"What's going with me and Zelix??"

I nod my head and her face lights up with happiness.

"He's amazing! He loves me. I love him. He said that when my heat comes I would be marked."

I gave her confused face because Alcander said all higher ranks get marked at the ceremonies.

I guess she saw the confusion in my face because she jumped in her seat. "No! I mean, I've been marked already." She pulls her shirt down a little and where her neck meets her shoulder there is his mark.

"I meant his sent. Like us...you know." I held up my hand because I can already guess the picture. She's beet red and I give her a shy smile.

"When's your next heat." She asks while finishing her burger.

I write on my hand and she passes her phone to me.

I handed her the phone and her smile that she had on slowly falls.

She looks up and I sip my lemonade.

"You never had your first heat?"

I shake my head 'no' and she gasp.

"What! How though!?"

I bring my shoulder up and she sighs. "Was your mom a late start?"

I shake my head and she brings her eyebrows together trying to think of solution.

I tap her arm and motion my head towards the door and she go the idea. She left a tip and payed for our food and drove off to the pack house.

She parked her car and I got out while going to the back and picking up some bags. She helped out and we made our way towards Alcander house. I didn't knock or bother to and just walked in. I walked up the stairs and I can hear her gasp. I look over my shoulder on the stair case and see her walking slowly in. She looks at the whole house then up the stairs at me. I raise my eyebrow and she blushes.

"I'm sorry, its just-I have never been in Alpha Alcanders house before." I roll my eyes and continue up the stairs. I heard her follow close behind, and I made my way towards the room.

I threw the bags on the bed and fell backwards on the bed. I sighed and closed my eyes while I push off my shoes with my feet.

I hear her place the bags on the ground and I look up. She smiles at me.

"I'll leave you here. It's getting late and I don't want to upset Zelix, so Ill see you tomorrow?"

I nod my head and she smiles. "Bye." She waves. I wave back and the sound of the door clicking close, I knew she left. I sigh and laid back down.

It felt like I barely closed my eyes, but when I open it I saw Alcander putting my clothes away and I look down and see I'm tuck away in the blankets. I barely have my eyes open but I see him walking out of the closet with his shirt off and some sweats riding low on his hips. He climbs in and wraps his arm around my waist. I don't know what I did. I don't know if it was Audrey but I moved closer to him. And that's how I fell back asleep.

Fûckin bond.
