Chapter 3 Plan And Simple

We arrive at the mall and go into the first store, I believe it's called Torrid. I'm small, but my hips say otherwise.

"Hi, can I help yo----- Ms. Amber, how nice it is to see you again."

"Morning Ira, how's the family?"

"They're fine, the kids are growing so fast, you should come to see them sometime."

"I will, Ira this is Diamond. We are looking for an outfit for her, but not too out there." The lady then walks over to the rack where all the shirts/blouses are, she holds some up. They all look so pretty and my style too. "Well since we're shopping I might as well get something too." She walks off.

"These shirts they are fancy, but a little down to earth like me."

"Ms. Amber had these for you, she was going to buy them for your birthday. She wanted you to have nicer clothes but to still be able to show your personality through them. You're very lucky to have a friend like Ms. Amber." I quickly leave Ira and find Ames near the dresses and hug her from behind.

"What did I do to deserve a friend like you?" She turns around, unwrapping my arms from around her.

"You're welcome D, you're my best friend."


We end up buying a bunch of clothes and accessories and then we pack the car, not before I picked out an outfit to wear to school. We then both change and head to school. Ames is wearing a pick flare short dress with compression shorts and tennis shoes, it's amazing how she feels so confident in herself. I picked out an asymmetrical top that has an off-the-shoulder look and some skinny jeans with some vans.

It's 10 am now and Ames parks the car, meanwhile she is giving me a pep talk along the way to the building we have class in. We open the doors and people who were chattering are now staring at us as we walk the hall. Imagine Amesand me walking in slow motion while the song Welcome to the Party (with French Montana, Lil Pump feat Zhavia Ward)

"Amber, wow you look great."

"Thank you, Greg."

"You want to take a ride on my disco stick?" As soon as he said that everyone stopped talking and Ames gave him a look and immediately he turned so fast on his heels. Luckily she didn't have her bat with her, otherwise, he would lose his disco stick. Kevin then walks up to us with HER.

"Amber, where were you?"

"How dare he ask about you."

I keep hearing this voice in my head and it gets louder and more clearer every day, Mom says it's my wolf coming to the surface of my mind. I can't wait to shift, but then that means I'll know Kevin is my mate and he'll have to either claim me or reject me and he has no plans of breaking it off with Jen, so rejection.

"Our first class was canceled, so we went shopping."

"You look great Diamond." He complimented me!!!!! This is unlike him, usually, Kevin and I argue over little stuff. Over the years, as we were growing up he and I would argue a lot. Ames usually had to break us apart from trying to kill each other. I have to play it cool, or I can ignore him.

"Come on Ames, wouldn't want to be late to class." Ames and I walk to class as we hear Jen yell at Kevin and then stomp away. Ames and I turn a corner to go inside the classroom and Goddess and behold he is still staring at me.


Ames and I make our way to our seats. "Did you see the way my brother looked at you, he was like a deer in headlights."

"If anyone is going to be his mate and your sister-in-law, it's going to be me, Jen isn't Luna material she doesn't know the first thing about kindness."

"I don't know kindness, huh. Well, how about I show you both kindness right now." Ames stands from her desk with her hands on her hips.

"You know what, for the past 3years, you have tortured, bullied, or harassed students, not to mention you bribe the teachers and seduce them to get the top grade in the class." She moves from behind the desk closer to her. "You know since my brother does love you and since one day he plans to make you family, which I doubt will happen. You may want to be nicer to his sister." Kevin then walks in and Ames notices and turns to go back to her seat.

"That's right go back to your desk, better yet to where you belong, the trash heap."

"And you belong on a corner, need a pimp?" Jen comes toward her about to slap her. "Kevin's here," Jen stops in her tracks and turns to see him, and then Ames pulls her shirt collar and brings her ear close to her. "Don't mess this up or I can make things very messy, everything you said to me is being recorded so choose your words wisely." The bell rings and the professor comes in.

Ambers P.O.V.

Classes are over for the day and Diamond and I hop in my jeep, I drop her off, and then head home. Jen is there with her friends from class to try to intimidate me. I get out my jeep after parking it in the driveway.

"What are you doing here, Jen."

"I believe you owe me an apology."

"For what?"

"Your comment earlier was rude and uncalled for."

"So what, you called your groupies to come and beat me up or to sing kumbaya?"

"Apologize, now."

"No, I don't think I will.

"Amber, apologize now, or, or."

"Or what, you'll tell my brother. Oooooo I'm so scared."

"No, you're parents." I think she was hoping I would cave in and give her what she wants."

"Oh no don't tell my parents," I tell her as I get my stuff out of my car.

"Apologize."

"And if I don't?" One of her groups slashes my tire."

"Really, you're going to pay for that. Jen's groupies then start to run away when they see my claws come out and my eyes change colors. " Once again, if I don't then what? Now listen up missy, for the past 3 years you have made my life a living nightmare, but not this year. Now, I would go home if I were you, seems like your groupies did." I turn my back to open my car door to get something and she slams the door on my left hand and then takes the bat I have in the car and hits my hand again almost breaking the bones.

"Amber!!!!!! I hear Mom's voice and Dad soon follows her. Jen drops the bat and backs away acting all innocent.

"Jen, I think it's time for you to leave, Kevin is not here." All three of us go in and Dad carries my stuff.


"Now, let's see that hand." Mom takes my hand and Dad goes silent, he's probably mind-linking the doctor. Within a few seconds, he is here.

"Good afternoon Alpha Richards, Luna, Ms. Amber. Now let's see that hand, can you move it at all?" I try to move my fingers, but my nerves are too damaged. "Just as I thought her nerves need repairing, we can get her in this evening and she will have to take it easy for a week."

"D, looks like we'll be taking the bus tomorrow, I can't drive due to a little incident that happened earlier.

"Are you ok, what happened?"

"I'll explain later, but I have to go. I'll stop by after my surgery."


I wake up feeling groggy but, okay, Mom is busy with the pack's pups and Dad has some Alpha business to handle. The surgery, as I was told, took about 30 minutes, they bandaged my hand so well to the point where I can't even see it. I wake up and the room is dimly lit considering it's evening now. The doctor comes into the room followed by one of the nurses.

"Well, the surgery was a success and you should feel motor function within a few days but, until then try not to use it." The doctor says as a nurse helps me gather my clothes from off the chair in the room, I go into the bathroom and put on my clothes, and it is taking forever just to put my shirt on.

I mind link D, and within seconds she comes in the room.

"Ames, what happened?" The nurse helps me back on the bed, before leaving to get my painkillers.

"Jen happened, she and her groupies showed up when I got home. Jen wanted me to apologize for the remark I made about her earlier and when I refused one of her groupies slashed my tire and then Jen slammed my hand in the car door while I was getting my stuff out of the car. She saw my bat, took it, and hit my hand even worse. Luckily Mom and Dad caught her in the act."

"Does Kevin know?

He went to one of his friends' houses. It wouldn't matter anyway, Jen would just make something up to convince him that it was all my fault." The doctor walks in.

"Alright, you are done, you can go home now."

"Thank you, doctor."

"I'll walk you home." D helps me off the bed and she takes my stuff and medicines and we begin the walk home. "So how long till you recover?"

"Doctor said a few days, I can't use the hand until then."
