My teeth clenched in my mouth, and I held tightly onto the left leg of my pants, causing my leg to soon feel cramped. It was difficult to sit still knowing she was right there at the back. My body stiffened in my seat. There were 25 students on the bus, and her scent was the one I couldn't stop picking up; it overpowered everyone else. I slid myself closer to the window, opening it for some fresh air to get rid of her scent. I hated myself for loving her scent and for accepting her as my soulmate. It is very wrong.
Can't this stupid bus go any faster? I cursed from the inside. The wind from the window wasn't helping at all. I quickly reached for a handkerchief from my pocket and covered my nose. Finally, it helped. The handkerchief smelled like the sweet scent of softener, a laundry item my mom used to rinse our clothes.
Just when I thought I was safe from her attractive scent, another issue occurred: her beautiful face. In the window next to me, I could see her reflection. Her head was lowered, but still, I could see the beauty of her face. Her long, curly hair danced non-stop in the wind, and she kept leaving small bites on her bottom lip. She was such a beautiful sight to look at. I immediately closed my eyes. I am here to kill her, not to admire her, I had to remind myself.
"We're here, student," I heard Ms. Burrow say.
The bus stopped as I opened my eyes. I was glad we were.
"Let us exit the bus in an orderly fashion," instructed Ms. Burrow.
I was the first to exit, followed by the others.
I took a deep breath, taking in every scent of the forest to somehow forget her. As I exhaled, my head turned as she was about to exit the bus, and instantly, I forgot the scent of the forest as I leered at her. Just looking at her, it felt like we were the only two in the world, and for the first time, I felt my wolf side of me cry tears of sorrow, pleading with me to keep her, to hide her from my pack. Sadly, I cannot risk letting down my father. It had to be done.
My wolf whimpered.
