Mutt ~GxG~

Chapter 9

It was late when I got home.

 Well it was late when I left but still. 

Leah drove me home and nothing could've been better, we smiled and joked the entire way. "Here's your stop." She grinned . Of course, I did not expect what happened next, even though I orchestrated it. 

A single hand fell on hers as I leaned in. My thoughts were unclear and I acted on pure instinct, gripping on the dashboard as I landed a single, feather light kiss on her cheek. Sparks flew and my heart raced, yet I couldn't be bothered as I was completely worn out. Sluggishly, I pulled away before I realised what I had done. My eyes widened and I couldn't move fast enough. I couldn't even see her reaction as I raced home, calling out a hurried "See you on Monday!" and slamming the door, panting. Never again.

And yet here I am, wasting every single one of my few brain cells overthinking my life choices. Particularly that kiss. What was I thinking? She probably hates me now, but there's no doubt she's my mate but oh my god I'm crazy. She'll definitely reject me now, even if she wasn't going to before oh my god I'm fucking stupid. Kill me. Now.

Please.

I sigh. Well if shit's gonna go down tomorrow I should probably at least try to get some sleep.

Fuck me.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~

I sigh and sling my bag over my shoulder. Oh wow the pavement's cool, a nice grey colour, lots of rocks. Fun. "Jet!" Squealed a familiar voice. A weak smile made its way onto my face.

"Hey Soph." I look up meekly to see Sophie's joy filled face.

"You didn't send me a gift yesterday." she whined. Chuckling, I open the app.

"Well here ya go then." I freeze when I notice that a shiny gyarados spawned. "Give me a second I need to catch this!" I yell and pull out an ultra ball. Letting out a deep breath as it says the caught message, I check the stats and send Sophie a gift. Will Sophie still be friends with me once I get embarrassed in front of the school when Leah rejects me? I hope not.

The bell rings. "Let's get to class." she giggles. I freeze for a moment when I realise I have lab. With Leah. Shit.

"Actually you wanna skip today? Just this class." She looks confused but nods.

"Sure I guess."

~-~-~-~-~-~-~

I manage to avoid Leah for the rest of the day.

Well,

almost.

Around last period I felt a hand land on my shoulder. Shit. Dreading what was about to happen I refused to turn around so instead, the hand turned me around. Soft lips meet my ear. "Were you running from me, kitten?" her voice whispers. I gulp and her soul piercing eyes gaze into mine. Her hand leaves my shoulder and falls on my waist with the other one caressing my face. In a desperate attempt to leave I try, and fail, to pull away from her grasp on my hip. "Are you scared?" Leah chuckles lowly. "You really left me hanging there, kitten. Kissing me and running like that." Be still, my beating heart or I will have a heart attack.

"I d-don't know what you're talking about." A sly grin rises from her lips and she whispers, ever so seductively.

"Lions don't chase, we pounce." Hah, breathing normally? Don't know her. "And you, my dear," her hand strokes a stray bit of hair from my face

 "are the perfect prey." Her body slams mine against a locker and yet she doesn't do anything.

"wha- why aren't you doing anything?" I ask. She frowns.

"Do you really think so lowly of me? You need time to adjust to me and this school but you know what?" She breathes.

"What?"

"It takes every inch of self control I have to not slam you into a wall and kiss you until you forget your name." I have barely any control of what I say next.

"Why don't you?" My animals cry out in joy at the prospect of our mate caressing every inch of our body like she so gently does my face.

"Were you not paying attention, kitten?" She shakes her head. "You may think you're ready and your body may agree, but your mind is still unsure." She smiles. 

"Come back to me when you're ready."

~-~-~-~-~-~-~

"Zoe! I need advice!" I yell desperately. She peaks her head out of her room.

"Hm?"

"How do you ask someone on a date?"

"Shoot"

~-~-~-~-~-~-~

"What do you mean my little sister has a fucking date!"

"Calm down Miguel."

"No I will not calm down! Someone stole mi hermana pequeña's heart and I need to know she's safe!"

"And why wouldn't she be" I glare at Zoe who looks at me apologetically. She mouths sorry. Damn right she should be, she told my brother. Speaking of which, he sighed and massaged the bridge of his nose.

"At least tell me who they are." I chuckle nervously.

"Well it seems my mate is uhhh, an Alpha?" This enraged my brother further.

"Alpha's only care about their packs and prides. They're ruthless and reckless so what makes you think that pack will accept a mutt as their leader." I freeze. Did he really just call me a mutt? Tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I had no control over what I said next.

"Well they seemed perfectly fine accepting a female as their Alpha so they should accept a mutt as their leader as well!" I snarl. My brother's eyes widen as he realises what both he and I said.

"Wait, Vanessa-"

"Don't call me by that name!" I roar and and race to my room. I grab the suitcases and shove my belongings into them, not to run away, but to be prepared to be kicked out, after all, that happened last time I came out. I await my brother to kick me out of our small apartment as I curl up into a ball, my head on my knees. Why did this always happen? The small tears dripping from my eyes eventually turned to sobs, soaking my jeans, pitiful noises escaping my lips. How did this happen again? What amounted to this arguement? My mind could barely comprehend everything that had happened lately. More recently than that, everything that had happened today. My mind ran back, all the way to me waking up. I had a nutella sandwich for breakfast. I got up and walked to school. I played GO with Sophie. I went to class. Wait- no, I skipped first period, then I went to class. Why did I skip again? Oh yeah, Leah. 

Leah.

Everything traced back to the blue eyed lioness. If she wasn't my mate, my brother wouldn't be mad. If she wasn't a female, an Alpha, a lion. If she wasn't her, I would be fine.

Why couldn't I be happy?

WHOO THAT WAS DEPRESSING. WHAT A ROLLER COASTER. HAHAHAHA ANGST IS FUN. HELP ME.
