January- Nathan's POV
I've been trying to ignore James as much as I could since that incident. I was angry at Eren, but then again I was teasing him over the edge.... I wanted to take James right then and there, but he wasn't ready. He's human. He wouldn't be able to walk by the time I was done with him.
Okay, let's not get into details, I told myself and took a deep breath as we drove to school
"It's been two months Nathan", Natalie commented as we pulled up the school's parking lot "you just can't ignore him, once our birthday come your bond will get stronger"
"I know.... Just don't want to scare him away", I replied with a sigh and she smiled brightly Woah Natalie smiling?! "What?"
"You actually care about him", she teased pinching my cheek and I smacked her hand away "aww, you're blushing!"
"Will you shut up!", I growled opening my door and she laughed "come on!".
She got out the car and walked into school. There were loud nosies, banging against lockers, and laughing
"The hell?", Natalie spoke looking ahead of me and I followed her gaze. It was Luke and the other guys surrounding someone. I heard the repeated words "faggot!", "bitch!", and "pussy"
"Hey!", I called my Alpha tone and everyone looked my way. We walked up seeing Luke holding James' hair tightly
Son of bitch! Eren growled and my hands clenched
"Take your hands off of him!", I demanded keeping myself calm and Natalie had her hand on my shoulder. Behind him was his locker covered in disgusting words and drawings
"Who did that?!", I asked getting more again than I already am
"Oh come on Nate, it was just a joke", Matt chuckled twirling the black spray paint can in his hand and I growled. Natalie and I were shocked
"Matt, what the hell! I'm pretty sure our parents and grands taught us about bullying!", Natalie growled and he rolled his eyes
"But no harm was done", he said sarcastically then ruffled James' hair "right James?". James stood there in the center, flinching at whatever the guys did. Tears rolled down his face, he bit his lip nervously, and held his books to his chest tightly. Eren growled again and I tried so hard not to let him out, even though they deserve it
"No one is going touch him or bully him anymore! I don't care what the case may be, do I make myself clear?!", I growled and some of them flinched "Matt, clean this fucking locker!". I took James' hand and dragged him along with me and my sister
"I'll see you later, don't do anything stupid", Natty waved and went down the hall. After a while of silence, I felt James tried to tug away
"Nathan", he whispered as we went inside the locker room in the gym "you're hurting me! Nathan!"
Stop saying my name like that! I growled biting my lip. Fortunately, no one was in the locker room so I could talk to James
"Nathan wha-". But apparently talk means kissing to Eren
"I'm sorry", I sighed brushing my lips against his "I'm such an idiot for leaving you, I'm sorry James". I felt him shiver against me and smiled knowing that I have the same effect on him as he does on me
"Why can't I be mad at you?", he asked tugging of the hem of my shirt "you ignored me for weeks after what happened, I should be pissed at you but all I think about is if you're okay or if you're with someone else". I sighed
I'm definitely an idiot for making him think like that
"There will never", I paused for a moment, held his chin so he can look at me "never be another person.... I want you"
"What?", he whispered in disbelief and I smiled
"I. Want. You", I whispered between every kiss I gave him and his cheeks started to turn light pink "but that's if you'll have me?"
"Nathan... Of course", he said smiling brightly
"This weekend is my birthday party, everyone will be there and I want you be there when I make us official", I commented and his eyes widened- I don't care what anyone will say about us. I just want him "then after I'll tell you everything.... I have to explain about the night I ran out". He didn't try to pry any further, just nodded.
Later that day.....
"What the fuck was that?!", I growled in front of Luke, Matt and the other's "you represent my pack and that was the most fucked up shit, I've ever seen!". The whole pack stood, looking and whispering. My father, mother, and Natalie were there too
"We coexist with the humans, we live with them in peace!", I stated pinching the bridge of nose, trying to calm down Eren but he wasn't budging "WE DO NOT PARADE THEM AROUND LIKE A FUCKING CIRCUS ACT!". Natalie came up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder and I relaxed immediately. She the only person that can calm me, along with James of course.
"And you, you're supposed to be my best friend, my beta", I pointed at Matt and he sighed "doing this is making me have second thoughts.... I will find a proper punishment for you, until then get the fucking out my face!". They left and I immediately went to room. After a few seconds, I can hear Aunt Cassie yelling at Matt. A small knock came to my door and I told whoever to come in- it was mom and Natalie.
"Hey sweet pea", mom whispered sitting next to me and Natalie laid next to me
"Hey twin, you okay?", Natty asked playing with my hair and I smirked, that's a habit of hers
"I'm okay, just-"
"Wish you can be with James?", mom guessed and I looked at her surprised "I know sweet pea and mommy always knows". I glared at Natalie and she held her hands in surrender, before going back to playing with my hair
"Natalie didn't tell me", mom chuckled "I'm your mother and a white wolf, give me some credit"
"You're not upset, that I turned out like this?", I asked looking down and she placed a hand on my cheek
"Of course not!", she replied with a huge smile "you're my baby, my son and I love you. Nothing- I mean nothing is going to change that. Love comes in many shapes and forms."
That's what I need to hear, I thought and mom opened her arms, I hugged her of course.
