Double Claimed: Marked by Two

AVA

“You good?”

Caleb asked as we waited in line at the cafeteria for our lunch.

I haven't been okay since the new substitute teacher walked in, I've been feeling like something in me was trying to get up from a deep slumber.

“Yeah.” I smiled at him.

“I see you've got eyes on the sub?” He teased.

“No! why would you think such?” my voice came out a little bit sharper

“Well, I saw the way you were staring at him back in class.” He smirked.

“I wasn't staring at him okay, I just have this bad feeling about him.” I clasped my hands together in sincerity. I didn't want to hide the fact that the new sub gives me the chills, but I just had to tell someone and I still had about five more hours before I get home to talk to mom, so I just had to tell Caleb.

“Yeah, he did seemed kinda... different.”

I really need to find out really if it was just my subconscious playing a prank on me or was the New sub really my mate.

“Caleb, I'll be back. I need to check something?” I excused myself from him and ran out without waiting for his reply.

With slow strides, I walked through the hallway leading to his office. I needed to find answers. Arriving at his office, I looked through the keyhole but it was empty. He wasn't in his office.

I shouldn't go in there, it doesn't feel right, right?

“Ofcourse it does." A voice whispered in my head, “We need to know if he truly is our mate.”

“Who the fuck said that?” I whispered but nothing came forth, it must have been my subconscious.

Shakily, I twisted the doorknob and the door gave way. I walked into the office fully.

The smell of books hit my nose. Just like every teacher. But something else caught my nose.

“Basil?”

The sub likes Basil, that's really funny. A slight chuckle escaped my lips as the thought of someone like him, liking Basil lingered in my head.

I walked round his office, checking and touching anything that seemed suspicious. At the edge of the table lay a blue coloured thick file, it seemed weird and my curiosity got the best of me.

I walked over to it, my hands were trembling as I lifted it up. I flipped through the first page, then the second and third but nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be there.

Seems he was just an innocent teacher.

I kept the file back and just as I was about to take a step, I noticed a paper lying on the floor, it must have slipped out of the file. I picked it up and was about to insert it back into the file but yet I just couldn't give up on my suspicions.

...What if it contained my description or details about me, just what if...

“Really?” I voiced out after seeing the contents of the letter.

It was just a regular letter of acceptance by the school. Truly, I was just over thinking.

I held the doorknob, about to twist it when I noticed that one of his desk drawers was opened. I must have opened it while I was searching his office. I hurried back to close it, but then again something sitting comfortable inside the drawer got me.

It was just like the box I had received on my birthday but this time, it was not a box but a letter.

“What paper comes in black?” I furrowed my brows as I picked it up. I was about to open it when I heard his voice, he was approaching. I hurriedly tucked the letter into my shirt. I stood still, no escape route, beads of sweat formed on my forehead, my hands trembling. And just as the door knob twisted...

“Mr Logan.”

Someone called from outside and the door closed back.

“Thank goodness.” I breathed down, placing my hand on my chest as I felt my heart rise and fall.

I heard his retreating footsteps, I needed no one to tell me what to do, I speedily made a run.

LOGAN

I walked out from my hiding spot as I watched her leave my office. A small smile crept on my face. I had perceived her scent when I was walking back from the principal's office.

I walked into my office, observing the surrounding then my eyes fell on my opened drawer.

“Shit.”

I rushed over to it but guess I was too late, she had already taken the letter.

“Very clever of you miss Ava, I suppose it's about time I make it official.” I smirked as I stared at her picture.

“You're mine.”

I fell back on my chair.

After I had turned eighteen, I thought that finding my mate would be so easy, but as time began to pass, I thought I was not meant to have a wolf. But everything changed after I crossed path with Ava on her sixteenth birthday. I had just come out to the human world just to have a little fun when she walked into the club with the same human boy she has always being with. I followed her home and was surprised to find out that her mother was the human who was casted out from the pack.

I had to secretly follow her everywhere she went, untill a few months ago, when I made my intention known to her mother. Seems like I would be paying her a visit soon.

UNKNOWN POV

I waited carefully inside my car, I wanted for her to walk out of the school building. As the students trooped out of the building, I waited patiently. And there she was, walking gracefully as she giggled to what her friend said.

I watched her smile, it was really beautiful.

“We need her!” My wolf, Isaiah stirred like he had just woken up from a deep slumber.

“I know we want her but we just have to take our time. We wouldn't want her getting scared, would we?”

Something or should I say someone else got my attention.

It can't be, what is he doing here.

Logan Moon. What was he doing here?,

I traced his eyes and it was on her, my mate.

I gritted my teeth and huffed out as I whispered

“She is mine”
