One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Jaxon's POV

"I need you to understand that I don't want you anymore. The luna let you back in school because you need the education but don't think that you and I will ever go back to the way things were.” I say to Azuri.

I invited her over to my house to talk.

I needed things to go back to normal after finding out about Hailey's family lineage and her father keeping a close eye on her.

She sat on my couch, wearing shorts that barely covered her bottoms and a top that showed her stomach.

I wish 1 could tell her that no matter what she does, that she could've walked in here naked and it would not affect me. I'm actually repulsed by her obvious play here but she was my friend before any of this and I just want my friend back.

"Wait, why am I here then? Dressed like this?" She asks me.

"To be honest, I'm not sure what gave you the idea to come dressed like this after the last time we spoke." I say, taking a sip of the water in front of me.

"I'll tell you then. We always do this, we bicker and fight then stop talking for a little bit but then we always get back together." She says, standing up and walking towards me.

I growl to stop her funny walk towards me and it works.

"Get back together to what? We were never exclusive Azuri and I made my intentions known from the beginning.” I say before letting out a sigh of frustration.

Azuri continues her awkward walk towards me, my wolf growling in anger at the show of disrespect when we have already rejected her.

"Not this time Azuri. I'm here because I want my friend back not this." I say pointing at her outfit.

I stand up, pull her in for a hug.

"You are a beautiful girl and I wish life was different for you and all the female wolves in the world but it isn't. I'm changing my ways now Azuri and because of that, I can't mess around with you anymore. I'm going to be the alpha soon which means I need to save whatever that's left of me for my mate, who deserves better than me." I say before pulling away.

I see the tears pool in her eyes, guilt flooding my heart as I remember her feelings for me.

"I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt you and we shouldn't have tried whatever this was because it may have ruined our friendship but I hope we can work on repairing it because I need you as my friend. As alpha, I'll need people I can trust and despite our recent fight or past, I still trust you." I say before walking away from Azuri.

I was just about to walk out the door.

"Jaxon wait!" Azuri calls out, making me turn around.

"Fine. Let's work on being friends again, I want that too.. Just friends.” She says to me and I nod my head.

The look in her eyes spoke a different tune. One of mischief, her eyes told me she had a plan and I won't like it but for now, I'll accept her words because one day when she acts on her devious plan to make me fall in love with her, I'll call her out and use her own words against her.

Azuri was far gone, hopelessly in love with me and failing to see reason. Deep down inside her is a wonderful girl that a lot of guys would fall for and I was that guy for only a minute until I had her.

I had a taste and I still wasn't satiated. It was when I met Hailey that I realized that she was enough for me. Not her body or sex that we didn't even have yet. Just being in her presence was enough, enough to face anything in life and to try find a way around my father allowing her to be my mate. I kissed her yesterday.

I have kissed so many girls that Azuri marked as enemies, I have kissed Azuri but nothing in my short teenage life could have prepared me for what that would feel like.

Just meeting Hailey had me change my views on women. I shouldn't have used Azuri or any other girl like that because I can't imagine another guy doing to my sweet Hailey, what I've done to these girls. It made sense to me when she bumped in to me on her first day why my dad insisted I wait for her.

Her kiss, even though her first, felt like heaven.

It felt like new years eve excitement paired with the 4th of July fireworks. I needed more, I need to take in her scent and look in to her eyes once more.

Hailey was a goddess, is a goddess. Her beauty is like no other and maybe I'm bias because she is my mate but even my friends can't deny the fact that she's the most beautiful girl to ever walk this school. To also get in to this school, if not a wolf and from my pack, as a human one has to be very smart so there's that too.

The fact that she doesn't even know the world around her, a world that also belongs to her makes her so innocent, fragile and I want to protect her from anything and everything. Her life is yet to unfold and I have no idea how she will take this, how it will affect her in the long run. I can only hope that even in harsh adversities, that she finds comfort in my arms, in my presence. I can only hope that after all is said and done, once my world is revealed to her that she will still want me in her life.

And just like yesterday, I find myself at her door. I knock this time, hoping she will open and kiss me but...

"Oh you're back.” She says after the door opens. She walks away from the door and I enter, closing the door behind me.

"Yes, I'm back." I say. She turns around to face me. A glint of excitement shines through her eyes but it was gone all too quickly.

"Why?" She asks.

I make my way closer to her, with every step, I'd take in her scent. Her scent getting stronger and stronger the closer I got, stirring up the electricity inside me.

I wonder if she feels the same way now knowing what I know about her true father.

"I want you. I like you Hailey and I want you to be mine." I say, her lips parting just a little bit. Shocked at my straight shooting, not prepared for what I just said and I did not give her time to respond because as quickly as I said those words, I pulled her to me and kissed her.
