Chasing the roses(boyxboy)

Smoke and ash

Snap, I hear my arm shatter like glass. The walls are stained orange from the radiant light of the fire. I drop to the ground, trying to avoid the smoke. My mom falls to the ground with a thud. I quickly run to pick her up, tears falling down my face. A large piece of wood falls onto my arm, searing pain shooting through me. My dad falls to the ground, wood drops along with him. The flames blocking him from my view.

"DAD!" I shout. I try my hardest to drag my mom too the door, but to no avail. With a voice no louder. Than a whisper, almost unbearable through the sound of crackling flame, she lets out one last cry.

"Please, just leave me!" She exclaims, "your dad will be fine, please just run away!" I knew she was right, he's a werewolf, he will make it alive. But she won't.

"I can't just leave you there!" I scream, but she pushes me away. I can faintly hear her voice, but I run towards the door. A man stands in the doorway, grabbing my wrist in an attempt to keep me in the fire. I hear a howl, and it shakes the house. It's my dad. With my mom on his back, he rushes through the fire. I try to grab the man's wrist, but he is too strong. He pulls a gun out of his pocket, and aims it at my dad.

Bang

He throws her just before the bullet hits, pushing the man over. I rush through the door, but not before I see my fathers lifeless body hit the floor. He turns to his original form, his eyes white and dead. Even in this fire I could tell soon his body would be cold. I push the man inside and grab my mom with my non broken arm, tears welling up in my eyes. A rush of water down my cheeks. I run outside, pushing the man in with my dad. I see him turn back to human form, and more planks topple down.

"DAD!" I scream, pthe door closing off. The sirens wail in my ears, red and blue flashing in my eyes. But I still feel numb. I see my own father, held by the firemen, standing just feet away from me. His lifeless body limp in his arms. With a wham the very person who set my house ablaze bursting through the door. Anger swells inside me, but still I know I cannot do anything. He's the alpha, not a single person in this town can stand up to him without losing their head. All I can do is stare. He walks by, not a single person dare speak up to him. He's treated like royalty, I'm surprised people aren't bowing to him on their hands and knees. As he walks near me, I stare him down in my peripherals. Suddenly, he turns. He looks me straight in the eye, and I suppress the shivers racing down my spine. I look up at him, not showing any emotion on my face. He looks as though he may say something, but closes his mouth and begins to walk away.

*************************************************
It's now the next day, my mother is still grieving over our loss. We had to move into my grandparents house a few blocks away, it's a much smaller than our old house. Even the next day, It still feels like the fire is still there. I will never forget this. My mom walks in, reminding me I still have school tomorrow. As much as I'd want to fight it, I know I can't.

The bus arrives, a loud screech fills the air as it stops. I hate these crammed spaces, the hum of the tires, the constant speaking. Each sound is like an extra knife stabbing into my head. I grab headphones, and listen to a random playlist of what I could find.

I get to school, sleepy as always. I pass by people, everyone is staring at me. Not one person will mention it though. We were supposed to be wiped from history, only to come Back to school the next day. At times like this, I wish I never survived in the first place. I've gotten plenty of stares, im only half werewolf yet I still live in a pack. I cant even shift, not one bit of me still acts like a werewolf.

Then, I see him. Standing in front of me. The alphas son. Not one person moves, the air is still. As our eyes met neither of us dare speak a word. He looks down, voice no louder than a whisper.

"Im sorry." He says, breaking the tension.

"THATS IT?" I snap, he winces.

"Please! Im sorry!" He says, on the verge of tears. I calm down, its not his fault, its his parents. He falls to his knees, the whole room gasping. I stare around the hall, they take the hint and begin to leave. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" He repeats, beginning to cry. "Its all my fault!" He screams. I look at him in confusion, how would he have anything to do with this?

"How is it your fault?" I ask, trying to be as soft as possible.

"Your..." he starts, "your my mate." He says. How? How could I be his mate? I'm only half!

"I... I am?" I say. My body blank. "Im only half? How is that possible I cant even shift." It must mean that they can still pick up on me being mated to them. I rest my hand on his shoulder. "That doesn't mean its your fault? If I really am yours, we will have to wait until I can tell." I don't believe him for a second, I don't feel a thing when I'm around him. "If it turns out true I'll eat my words, but get up for now. This isn't the best look for a future alpha."

He stays on his knees. "I told them." He says, voice monotone. "They didn't want me to be mates with a half breed, its all my fault."  The tears begin to flow from both of us, I grip his shoulder. My hand turns red from how hard I'm grabbing him. I see him wince, but he lets it happen. I raise my hand in the air, all the pain of yesterday coming back. "Do anything you want. I deserve this."

Slap. "That was his decision, don't blame yourself for something you didn't do." I exclaim to him.

"Please. Forgive me, I just want to be your mate. I will wait as long as I can for you to see that we are."
His small voice still Echos through the halls. I reach back down to grab his hand, it feels like sparks shoot through my body. What is this feeling? My body warms up, and I notice him blushing. Suddenly, we are cut off by the bell with a screeching ring.

"I forgive you," I start, "My names Willow, you?"

"Ares." He says.

"Well, Ares, I hope to see you again soon."
