Winters. Yet Sierra must have
thought differently because her face was bright red and steam might have been
coming out of her ears. It was cruel, but I was kind of savoring the moment. I
didn’t care much about my social standing in this school like Sierra did, but
it was nice to see her not have something she wanted. Also, it may be a little
childish, but this could be payback for third grade when she called me
worthless.
    As
we drew closer to her, I drew closer to Caleb, intentionally brushing my side
against his. His hand moved from my back until it was snaked around my waist.
He was taking advantage of the situation too, just not in the same way I was. I
turned my head to glare at him in warning, but he just smiled down at me. His
head tilted closer to mine as he buried his lips in my hair to whisper, “If you
really want to tick her off, you could always kiss me.”
    Busted.
I pulled away and looked up at him, “I don’t think so.”
    We
were getting closer to Sierra and I could hear her talking to Samantha and
Chloe. Caleb laughed, “You know you want to.”
    I
quirked an eyebrow at him, it was an intriguing offer. I looked forward to see
Sierra glaring at me in a silent challenge. I sighed, might as well go full
out. When Caleb wasn’t looking, I stepped onto my tiptoes and planted a kiss on
his check. It was brief enough to pass as a friendly gesture, but it felt like
anything but.
    When I turned back to look forward I wasn’t sure
who was more surprised- Sierra, Caleb, or me . As soon
as I crossed into the classroom, I immediately broke away from Caleb, a little
embarrassed. I didn’t need a repeat of the library incident this morning.

 
    Chapter Ten
    Marking
Territory
    Caleb

 
    Normally I would be jumping
for joy if Allie had kissed me, but not this time. She might not have thought
much of it, but it was clear to me and Sierra what she
was doing- marking her territory. I might have not been fully joking when I
suggested her kissing me, but I didn’t expect her to do it, even if it was just
my cheek. Wolves are very possessive of what’s theirs, and if Al’s
already reacting to Sierra, her Wolf is closer than I thought.
    Within a couple weeks of
someone’s transition, werewolves start acting more Wolf than human. Their anger
flares and they stick by their pair like glue. It’s important to have a pair
while going through the change. No one’s quite sure why but they can take away
some of the extra anger and emotion. A couple weeks before the transition, all
you can think about is your pair, no matter how much you don’t want to. The
only time I ever saw Brody and Sierra together was during their transitions.
    I, on the other hand, had no
one for the change. But as alpha, I didn’t technically need one and my dad was
there and forced the change on me. Not exactly painless but it got the job
done. If Allie doesn’t get a heads up soon, she is going to have a very hard
transition.
    In the classroom, Mrs. Vertan , the world’s meanest teacher, still wasn’t there. I
once again sat behind Allie and followed her down the row with my hands placed
on her hips. Even though she broke away from my hold once she got through the
door, she let my hands stay. I sat her bag down, and she went to grab textbooks
from the counter in the back of the room. As she placed one on my desk, I
grabbed her hips and pulled her down on top of my lap. She let out a small
squeal but didn’t try to get up.
    “Didn’t think you could get
away from me so quickly, did you?” One of her hands drifted to my chest while
the other wove its way around my neck and teased the ends of my hair.
    “No,” her voice was quiet
and teasing, it was driving me crazy. A small, distracting smile played on her
lips. My arms tightened around her waist, efficiently pulling her closer. I
knew that we probably had an audience, but I didn’t care. Her hands and lips
were driving me crazy. She was probably acting this way because of
