Chapter 6: Secret Society

The smell of coffee in the morning. No. The smell of sweets baking in the early afternoon. No. The smell of fresh sheets at night. No.The smell of sunshine on a rainy day. I can't place it. I need to smell him again. I need to know what that smell was. I feel driven to him. Luca!

I'm in my next class now. I can smell the scent of other wolves, none that I have interest in. This helps calm Rune and I.

I cozy up in a chair somewhat by itself.

I look up from my seat only to get a feel for how this instructor is. The thing was, the instructor was already looking straight at me. He adjusted himself soon after and pushed the class forward pretending to ignore me. I still caught him stealing glances throughout the period though. I was starting to get a little creeped out until I was completely uneasy after he called me after class.

He wasted no time. "Rowse? Any relation to the mysterious Rowse family of the Moon Prowl pack?" The man was straight forward.

"Yes sir."

"That's a surprise. An entire pack fades away but after all these years here one member stands."

"Uh ok, Mr. Zacharias. Im late for lunch and I actually have to go now." I opened the door to leave.

One foot out.

"Yes yes. of course. Your first day right? Then you'll have a lot to look forward to. Enjoy your day Delaney Rowse."

Two feet out.

"Ok, Sir." I shut the door

A filthy look spread on his face."See you tonight."

Wait. What did he say?

Oh well, lunch should be fun. I imagine Bella pouring juice on me or my two studs causing a scene like something out of a movie but that's not real life so I laugh that idea off. I hope to see Amelie. She has been the most friendish person I've met here. I get away from the creepy teacher's room and head to the rec area.

I'm almost there when I'm gagged and blindfolded. Rune is livid. My skin starts to burn. Am I about to turn? And then I hear a familiar voice.

"Calm down gorgeous."

I instantly obeyed. It was an order from my mate. Why was he here? Was he kidnapping me? Was is it weird that I didn't mind? My heart started pounding!

Luca took the gag off and brushed my cheek softly. His touch was electric and sent violent fires throughout my body. Maple. He smelled like maple.

"Don't make me jealous little one," said a dangerous voice behind me.

Why was Luca with Ronan? Arnt they from different packs? Was this all a school joke just to get 'the new girl'.

"Where are you taking me?" I demand.

"Shhh..... no more talking," said a stern voice I didnt recognize.

There are more people?

I can feel us walking off-campus. I can smell the forest. We have to be behind the Academy now. We finally stop.

A long dress of some sort was draped around me and a mask was put my face.

Finally, I can see again. I was just on the other side of a circus sized tent. There were about six people escorting me. They were all dressed in victorian looking dresses, hats, and masks. They looked like they belonged in the 1900s. I was in love. They each had masks on but I could tell which one Luca was immediately and picked out Tombs promptly after. They both looked handsome. I waited for an answer to where we were going but instead, I was ushered inside.

The room was alive. Old music played out of old music boxes while friends danced. Buffet tables lined the walls. Dozens of people sat at tables enjoying sweet tea and tasting pastries.

I was busy staring at everything when Lucas's deep voice whispered in my ear.

"This is a secret society."

"For what?" I whisper back. I can feel him so close now.

"For werewolves."

His eyes are black and intimidating. The mask hid his face obscuring his perfect features but he was still beautiful.

"You look absolutely stunning Delaney Rowse."

"Thank you, Mr. Black." I need to get away from Luca so I walk further into the tent following closer now to Ronan. I snatch a cupcake and try hard to focus.

I wonder what kind of pledge I'll have to perform or what kind of hazing I will have to endure to be in such a society. I try to imagine my fate when I notice both men staring at me. Wow. They were both oozing with sex charm and I suddenly couldn't take it. I bit my bottom lip to suppress my desire but I just can't help but imagineing Luca and Ronan both kissing me. Holding me. touching me.

"It's the red moon. You'll feel a strong feeling of 'lust' the closer we get to midnight," Rune reminded me, as she rudely interrupted my dirty thoughts.

"Welcome to the order baby," Ronan said seductively as he flashed an evil smirk towards Luca.

"Just like that huh?" I laugh. Nothing is that simple.

"Well, actually thier is a catch." Luca grabbed my waist and guided me closer to him and further away from Ronan. "There is an old tradition from the early society. "

"This sounds complicated." I sighed.

"Yes, but that comes later." A girl said as she grabbed my hand and yanked me away. It was Amalie. She smiled. "Ok, casanova. Let's go pick out outfits for tonight. I mean they give you something to wear at the red moon ceremony but.." She gave a cute and devious giggle. "The order has a tendency to spend their money on the best. You know." And just like that, I was pulled away and together Amelie and I headed...I don't know..shopping I think. We left the boys behind and headed to an enormous powder room with fitting rooms and rows and rows off risque outfits.

As soon as we walk in though I smell Bella. She is lounging in a puffy chair as people around her bring her outfit choices. "Who let this rouge trash in?"
