My Vampire Mate: A Wild Love

Chapter 11: Lust and Confusion

She stopped in front of us and fixed one of her blue striped white knee high socks. She had on a blue long sleeve shirt and her black track shorts that she used during her practice after school. She must've been heading to practice her sprints. I smiled at her, thanking the heavens that she came at the right time. Danny rubbed her hands in front of her and sighed.

"You remember Justin right?" I patted her shoulder. She cut her eyes at him and he flinched. He pushed himself off the lockers and raised his shirt a bit to put his hands in his pockets. I frowned as I caught a glimpse of his stomach.

"The one that just touched your ass, right? Yeah. He's an asshole isn't he? A lying one." Danny huffed and he sighed, staring at his shoes. I raised my eyebrows, not expecting her to go in on him like that.

"Uh, I mean you're not wrong... I guess." I swallowed as she nodded. Justin looked up and grabbed her arm, sliding his hand down to hers. She looked up at him. It almost seemed like she was scowling, but it suited her in some way. I never knew tomboy Danny could look so... cute?

"I'm sorry, Isabella. I just wasn't trying to... hit on her. I was just asking for something, but sometimes the fire builds up and things... get misread." Justin stated as I opened my mouth to say something. He glared at me and nuzzled Danny's neck causing me to recoil in confusion. She ran her hand over his brown hair and pushed him away.

"Things aren't going to stay the same. I don't want you hitting on my friends or anyone anymore. If you do it again, I won't hesitate to go to your father." She said and smiled at me before walking away. Justin apologized before following her. What in the hell was going on between those two?

I put my backpack on again and started to get hit with his scent. My heart beat as arms wrapped around my waist and I smiled at the tingles that ran through my skin.

"Where have you been all day?" I turned around and looked into his eyes which were fully black. He swallowed and shrugged.

"Had to... take care of some urges that came up. Important matters. I'm mostly fine now." He placed a small kiss on my lips before doing it again before it was almost a full on make out session. I whimpered as he nipped at my bottom lip. His tongue stopped and he pulled away, eyes back to their original brown but glassy.

I didn't want it to end, but my mind kept wandering to Justin and Danny and the fact that there seemed to be something between them. My ass still felt weird after he grabbed it too. I wondered if he left some ash on my pants or something. It would probably be best though if I left that out though. It would probably just make Alex mad since it seems he's letting this mate bond get the better of him. He tilted his head to the side and frowned.

"Did I hear... that right?" He snapped. Fuck, I forgot he can read minds.

"Yeah, but he said sorry. Plus, I knew you'd just flip out like you are right now. You know how Justin is!"

"I don't care about that shit! We're mates. Us. You're mine now and-"

"Yours? I am not property, Alex! You don't own me you know. I can take care of myself." I glared at him as my eyes started to cool. Yes I was his mate but that didn't mean I had to tell him everything if I could handle it.
"The only thing that belongs to you is my heart Alex."

"I'm not walking you home today. You can leave by yourself. Or maybe just get Justin to go with you." He sneered and stormed off, hitting one of the lockers. I noticed people looking between the two of us as Alex left me standing in the middle of the hall.

I watched as he disappeared out in the courtyard with the other students and I frowned. I didn't need him to walk me home anyway. My vision blurred and my head began to ache. I put my hand over my forehead and felt myself starting to grow hot. A hand touched my shoulder and I sighed, blinking rapidly to see Ryan standing there. He shook his head.

"I told you he wouldn't be a good mate for you. You should've rejected him." He sighed as we walked to the entrance.

"It's my fault." I whispered, rubbing at my chest. It was beginning to burn like hell and I knew it wouldn't be long before my powers took control.

"No, it's not. You weren't trying to start an unnecessary fight, not keep stuff hidden just because you want to." Ryan stated and I nodded.

"It's starting again." I cleared my throat and he stopped me, looking into my eyes. His usual dark blue irises flashed lighter and my head stopped throbbing.

"We're going home right now." He grabbed my hand and led me out of the school, walking down the steps and towards his black Honda. He took his keys out of his pocket and unlocked it with his RKS. I opened the door and looked up at him.

"You sure mom will let me skip?" I chuckled and he started to answer before he noticed something behind me and grimaced. I looked back.

There was a girl with blonde hair laughing with a group of guys, nudging one of them off her as he pulled at her gray hoodie. I squinted and realized it was one of Jake's sisters, Alexandra. He must know her from his classes. She flipped her hair and said something to one of the guys before smirking. Ryan growled. She looked over at us and smiled slightly before directly focusing on Ryan. Alexandra turned away, rolling her eyes. I shrugged and got in the car, putting on my seat belt. Soon after, he got into the car too, frowning. I decided to not ask about it and closed my eyes. I needed to rest and maybe after I'd try to patch things up with Alex. I only hoped he wasn't going to be difficult.
