When the heart bleeds ~ Bughead

Chapter 7

'Oh god! Jug will probably think the worst! Why does he have to be able to hear my conversations?!'

That was Betty's first thought.

She didn't want to ruin what they had even though they only knew each other for a few days.

"Was it Mike?" V asked Betty as she didn't say anything.

"Ehm, yes. He told me that Jake found his mate and invited us to the yearlsy Alpha Ball just so we can meet up with him, Jake and Jake's mate.

We should also bring JJ, Hermione and Mum."

Betty explained to her.

"Oh my god! That's amazing we definitly have to talk to Auntie Alice about that."

Veronica was really happy about it.

Jake and Mike were alpha and beta of the Midnight pack, a pretty powerful werewolf pack.

They met them when we they lived in New York.

Jake and Mike took them in and helped them to hide from that one person, Betty's dad.

They were like family to them and wanted to protect them constantly but they had to move again as her father almost found them again.

She still didn't know why he wouldn't be able to come to Riverdale but she have to accept it.

"Betty. Can I talk to you in privat?"

Jug said to her and she was a little scared of him.

She knew he couldn't hurt her as a werewolf wasn't able to hurt his or her mate but he looked really mad.

"Of course."

Betty said while taking a look at V and C who both looked like they wanted to kill Jughead.

He stood up and the young girl followed him to an empty classroom.

"I want to kill Mike this bad right now.

I know I can't choose you're friends but a werewolf from another pack, really?

I can't control me right now!

I had to listen to a werewolf calling my mate pet names!"

He said aggressivly while he pinned her against the wall.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

He was devastated so Betty just hugged him and he finally relaxed.

"I am sorry, okay?

I met him before I knew I could have a mate but he's just a friend to me."

She tried to calm him but she didn't think it really worked.

"You know what happened to my mother?

She left me and my dad and took my sister with her.

When I was 15 she brought JB, my little sister, back because she was 'annoying', I am so scared to loose someone I love again.

And I - I just can't loose you right now I just found you.

Please don't leave."

At this point Jug had tears in his eyes.

Betty just hugged him tighter:

"I am not going to leave. I am not planning on leaving Riverdale ever again."

After around 15 minutes the bell rang and they stood up:

"Come on, let's go to our next class."

"Okay, okay. Wait for me."

Jug said laughing.

Betty was so happy that he wasn't so sad anymore.

While they were walking out of the classroom he laid his arm around her waist.

When they got to Cheryl and the others Sweet Pea and Fangs glared at Betty but when they saw
Jug's arm on her waist their face softened.

After explaining the situation to them they all went home to see Betty's mom almost crying.

What had happened?
