gear. I sighed and started moving things around to find my bag. 

I heard a screech and looked up it was one of the preppies. "What are you doing that is designer and you’re scratching it. Watch watt you’re doing you freak" I kneeled there speechless my ears still ringing from her tone. I mumbled something that sounded sorry and kept rummaging around for my luggage. I spotted it. SUCCESS! I went to grab it then I got ambushed by the other campers. I barely escaped with my things. I scurried over to the teacher to find out what tent I was in.

I think the fates hate me. I have to share a tent with the shrieker and a few others. At least most of them were the artists but even they could get annoying. I quickly unpacked my things, grabbed a notepad and pencil and darted to the woods.

I was easily drawing and in my zone wen I heard footsteps my way. I looked up expecting ash.

"Ash? Is that you I thought you were hunting......" I trailed off wen I remembered where I was. I looked around and found that Jake was looking at me like I had a third eye.

"Umm I’m sorry I thought I was alone" I tried to find a good excuse as to why I was alone at the time but he didn’t seem to notice.

He looked at me with interest “who is Ash?" I looked at him closer surprised.

"Oh um he is a wolf I know. I forgot that I was here normally he watches me draw and he sometimes hunt. Why?" 

"Well since you called me Ash I wanted to know who I was thought to be" I started blushing a deep red. I slowly got up and dusted myself off. 

"Mabye we should head back I heard the dinner bell" I finally found an excuse to leave and I started to head toward camp. I heard his foot falls behind me but I didn’t look back afraid that I would get a hateful glare from him. I could stand the glare of anyone else but him.

When we arrived I sat down at an empty bench with my food in hand. I ate quietly and looked around examining who was eating. I caught Jake staring at me but I didn’t read too much into it.

After dinner the art club got the assignment that would have to be done while we were at camp. They didn’t look too hard just some painting and drawing with a few things here and there. The night came quickly and I fell asleep with thoughts of ash and Jake on my mind. I noticed that it was colder without Ash to warm me.

chapter four

I woke up to sunshine in my face and yells around the camp. I hurried out of my tent still in my pajamas. I looked around and spotted three of the preppies screaming and pointing. I looked down and saw a dead rabbit at the foot of our tent. 

I went to pick it up but I heard screaming again. I looked back at the girls wondering what was wrong now so I asked.

"What it’s only a dead rabbit?"

They looked at me in horror. "You don’t know where that has been and you’re going to pick it up?"

"Yeaah. Its food and I’m not all about wasting it so once I skin it I can eat. Rabbit is quite good when roasted."

I could see the shock and disgust in their eyes. "You are a freak." they ran off and I laughed to myself. I couldn’t believe they actually thought I was going to eat it.

I picked it up carefully and put it by a rose bush. I sat down and started to draw it; intrigued by the way it looked. 

I heard movement around me and I quickly looked around thinking that I caught a glimpse of Ash.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" I thought back to my attack in the woods and I started to get shivers up my back.

"Yeah it’s me." I saw Jake step out from behind the tree. 

"Jake you startled me I thought was something else."

He smirked that drop dead gorgeous smirk at me. "I seem to be getting that a lot this week"

I feel myself blush deeply and I quickly look down at my drawing. I saw the sketchpad catch his eye and I tried to hide it. Little to my luck he was fast and he quickly snatched it away from me.

"HEY. Give that back!" I started jumping up to gram it but he kept it easily out of my reach. Curse my shortness. 

"No way am am I giving this back your drawings amazing. I think I will keep it."

"But that has my assignments in it. Do you want me to fail my art class?" he started to look a little guilty and he reluctantly gave it back.

"Fine but I want one picture out of it" I sighed and nodded my head in agreement not wanting my all my sketches taken by him. What is one sketch it couldn’t hurt?

"Which one do you want?"

"I want the one with the wolf with a flower in its mouth" 

"How did you know I had a picture like that?"

He looked a bit guilty but he quickly covered it up. "I saw it when I took the sketchbook."

"Alright" I reluctantly believed him but I looked for the sketch and gave it to him. "Now will you stop stalking me?"

"Nope you are too interesting." I grunted when he walked off sketch in hand.

chapter five

I started to hear the dinner bells calling for the campers to come and eat. I got up and brushed myself off thinking about how Jake is starting to actually talk to me. I grabbed my lunch when I got to the main camp and sat down in my usual spot. I saw someone sit down across from me and I looked up. I was surprised to see Jake.

"Well hi there what brings you to this freaky table Jake?"

He just shrugged "I got bored of the cookie cutter jocks and the sluts they call cheerleaders"

My eyes went wide. "That’s a little harsh, I mean aren’t you the football captain?"

"Yes but that doesn’t mean I act like them"

My eyes relaxed a bit. I looked over at the jock table and all of them were either glaring at me or giving looks of surprise.

"I don’t think they like the idea of their football captain sitting with the known freak."

"Then I guess they will have to get over It." he shrugged with ease.

"Well, ok then" I continued eating trying to ignore his occasional stares.

I finished my meal and whispered a quite bye and scurried back to the woods to find a good thing to paint for my assignments.

I was still searching when it became dusk. I looked toward the sky and thought that I better get back to camp. I started to follow the trail back when I saw Ash facing away from me. I would know him anywhere. I started to walk toward him but he started to shimmer and I got scared and hid behind a tree still watching.

When the shimmers died down I only saw a fully clothed Jake. I stared in surprise but I couldn’t move. I saw another wolf trot up to him and shimmered. I started shivering uncontrollably but still barely managed to keep quite. After the shimmers died down gain they revealed Jake’s best friend Trent.

I started to hear them speaking and I listened in.

"Jake, why were you sitting with that girl at dinner? Are we not enough for you?"

"No you guys are my pack and my friends. I am also your alpha but I have found my mate. I have been around her for a while and I can’t keep away any longer. That is where I have been going when I’m not around. I normally lay beside her in my wolf form when she is drawing or any other projects she has. I don’t think she suspects anything but I have to claim her soon my wolf is starting to gain control when I’m around her. The urges are becoming quiet tempting."

"Whoa bro, ok calm down. I hope you have a plan to tell her she will find out eventually"

"Yeah I know that is what worries me."

"Well man I can’t help you in this kind of situation because I haven’t met my mate yet, but I hope you come to a conclusion soon or your wolf might take over and you might shift in front of her and claim her against her will."

"We better head back before people see that we are gone and start looking for us"

They start to head back but I start shivering and panicking. I headed back to camp looking like I’ve seen a ghost. They were talking about me and my Ash was really Jake and he is a werewolf. I start panicking more and more. I catch a glimpse of Jake and I start walking faster. 

He easily catches up to me and gives me a weird look. I look in his eyes and he slowly looks like he knows what I have seen.

"Are you ok Luna?"

"Am I ok? I found out that the guy I like is really my wolf Ash, and that I am his mate. I also found out that you know absolutely everything about me." I look away and rush to my tent.

I hear him call out "wait, Luna let me explain"

I enter my tent and curl up in a little ball feeling the sense of betrayal and hurt as I drift off to sleep. 

chapter six

I woke up with tears in my eyes hoping that it was all just a dream. I got out of the tent quickly knowing that
