Chapter 13
(Pic: The Devilishly Handsome Dustin Sterling)
Bryan's POV
I looked up at the guy named Dustin and was confused as to why he was talking to me. I quickly looked around to make sure that he was talking to me and sure enough we were the only two that were still in the hallway.
"Yeah, I was talking to you, cutie." He said and I instantly wiped my head back towards him when he called me cutie. I got a sick feeling in my stomach just from the fact that someone other than Steven called me that.
"Can I help you with something?" I asked, not sure what else to say.
"Well you can start off by telling me your name." The smirk that had been on his when I first looked at him was still there. For some odd reason, it looked really familiar but I just couldn't place it.
"And why would you want to know my name?" I asked back at him, my caution starting to grow. Him just being a few feet away from me, made me feel uncomfortable.
"Because I was going to ask you if you wanted to go out with me and I would prefer to know your name before I did that." He said, slowly moving forward, getting closer and closer to me.
"Sorry, but I'm already taken." I said, turning around and started to walk in the opposite direction, realizing that I was already really late for class.
Before I could turn around the corner, my right arm was pulled by something extremely heavy and I was semi slammed in to the wall. I looked up to see that it was none other than Dustin and he was far closer than I liked. His lips started to get closer and closer to mine. I began to struggle but he pushed his body into mine and placed both of my arms above my head, making it impossible to move.
For someone that was human, he was really strong. I tried to push him away, yet it seemed that it was futile. Right before his lips were within an inch of mine, the moved course and went straight to my left ear.
"I bet if you gave me a chance, you'd see that I was a far better choice." I could feel his breath on my ear and it made me want to shiver in disgust.
But what was worse was when I felt his lips start to go down my neck. I felt so wrong and I was sure that I was close to vomiting from how much nausea that was rolling through me. As he went down my neck he began to be almost on top of my mark. I could feel Dustin's lips as they got within centimeters of my mark that Steven had put on me.
Right before he could reach the sacred spot that only Steven had the right to touch, there was a silently loud snarl followed by a deep toned cough of attention.
I could feel a rumble of annoyance in Dustin's chest as he got off of me and I looked to my left to see none other than the one person I had been wishing to see.
"I believe that the late bell has already rang several minutes ago and that both of you should be in class." Steven said, his fists in balls at his side and his body was rigid with anger. I could feel it radiating off of him through our connection. I began to feel extremely ashamed at myself for letting this happen
"Sorry, sir. We got a little carried away." I could see the anger intensify as Steven quickly looked at me. I slightly shook my head.
Steven I had nothing to do with it! He came on to me. I thought towards him. I could feel the tears begin to form behind my eyes and I tried my hardest to push them back.
"What your name?" Steven asked towards Dustin.
"Dustin Sterling, sir." He said, and if I weren't scared of what Steven might do, both to me and to Dustin, I would be laughing my head off at the fact that this boy was trying to suck up to my boyfriend.
"Ah, well Mr. Sterling, seeing as how this is the first I have caught you late, I'll give you just a warning. Mr. Bartell, you on the other hand have detention with me. Please, follow me." He said and I quickly walked over to his side, a feeling of safety fall over me just by being closer to him than Dustin.
Not looking back at Dustin, I heard his footsteps leave, signaling that he was gone.
When I thought it was safe to talk, without Dustin hearing, I looked over at Steven and saw just how much he was trying to hold in his wolf. I knew just how anger he must have been to see what was about to happen.
"Ste--"
"Quite Mr. Bartell." He quietly snarled towards me and I could feel the tears begin to surface. "Follow me." He said
When he turned around and began to walk towards his office, I tried my hardest to not let the tears fall, but they fell anyway. I quietly walked behind Steven, hoping that he wouldn't leave me. It wasn't even my fault but I wasn't sure if he was going to see it that way.
The entire walk to Steven's office, I couldn't help but think of what was going to happen. Every possibility went through my head. But most of all I was afraid that he would hate me and want to leave me.
As we reached his small office that was attached to the boy's locker room, he opened the door and motioned for me to go first. I walked in first and just stood in front of his desk waiting for him, but I was surprised and startled when the door was slammed shut. I was afraid to look back at him and the tears began to fall even harder.
"Bryan, look at me." Steven said and I was too afraid to even move. I had a slight sliver of hope when he called me by my first name but it wasn't merely enough for me to look at him.
"Bryan, I said turn around and look at me." I was still too afraid to do it, and I know that it was a bad idea to not look at him, but some part of me thought that if I looked at him then it was for sure to happen that he would leave me.
"BRYAN!" Steven growled with an Alpha's command, and while his command had no effect on me, I couldn't help but not look.
I slowly turned around to find him standing only a few feet from me and when I saw the anger on his face, and the hurt in his eyes, I broke. The sobs that I had been trying to hold in my chest burst out and I could feel my knees buckle beneath me. But before I could fall to the ground, warm, powerful, and strong arms caught me and cradled my to an equally warm soft yet firm chest.
I balled my fists into Steven shirts, behind his shoulders, and sobbed in to his neck. With every breath, I pulled in his sweet scent, making it fill up my lungs. I could feel his broad hands rub my back trying to sooth me.
When I was able to finally find my voice, I was able quite my sobbing long enough to beg out, "Steven, please, don't leave me please! I can't without you! I need you. Please don't leave me."
"Bryan, Shh. Shh, baby, you need to calm down little one." He said, but I still had it in my head that he was going to leave me.
"Please, d-don't l-le-leave me, Steven!" I sobbed out again.
I was surprised when my back was pushed up against the office door, and I could feel every bit of Steven pushed up against me. I pulled my head out of his neck to see what had happened, but before I could look around, Steven slammed his lips against mine in a rough passionate kiss.
I was unable to help the moan that escaped my lips only to be captured by Steven's, which caused his growl deep in his chest, making it rumble against. That alone had me withering for more but as soon as it started, he let go of my lips.
"I'm not going to leave you my love, I'm going to mate you." He said, his forehead bent against mine, and his eyes looking straight into mine.
If the kiss hadn't stopped the tears, then that one statement surely did. I was so surprised I had no idea what to say. Steven must have seen the utter surprise in my eyes because he soon began to explain.
"I have tried my hardest to not mate with you, and wait to talk to the Alpha of Meadows Peak, but today showed me that I had never thought of. I could feel that something was wrong with you but when I turned that corner and I saw the disgusting pup almost place his lips on my mark, I lost it." Steven's eyes had closed and I brought my hand up to his cheek and rubbed my fingers over his lips.
"I can't, no, I won't lose you Bryan. I've lost enough in my life and I don't care if I start a war between the packs, as long as I have you, and that's why I'm going to mate with you tonight. But only if you want to mate with me." Steven said, finally opening his eyes and looking at me.
Looking in his eyes I felt a huge amount of love and need run through and couldn't believe that he would have to ask me. But then again I was the one thinking he was going to leave me only a few minutes ago.
I rapidly nodded my head then said, "Tonight!" and pulled his lips in for a kiss that was full of so much passion, lust, want, need, desire, but most of all, love.
