Falling for an Alpha

Chapter 7

S2E7 - Restraint

Sasha had spent the night finishing the translation of the bestiary and was supposed to meet her friends to give it to them, but Mr. Harris had just made her change her plans. So she was now walking through the hallways of the school looking for Allison. She saw her next to her locker and walked towards her.

"Stiles and Scott are waiting for us in the library." The brunette said quietly to her friend.

"I was just summoned by Mr.Harris, but hold that. Here's everything I could translate from the bestiary. Text me if you find out anything." She said to Allison while giving her her tablet.

Sasha then left in the direction of her chemistry class, but she ran into Jackson. She gave him a smile, but the young man deliberately ignored her and she understood that he was not in his normal state. The female Alpha abandoned her meeting with Mr. Harris and quietly followed Jackson.

She saw him enter the lacrosse locker room and silently approached the door when it suddenly opened and she almost collided with Matt Daehler.

"Oh, you just scared the hell out of me." He said nervously.

"Sorry, I was... Well I was just looking for Coach." Sasha lied easily.

"Hey, did you hear about the underground show? Apparently, they've got some big name spinning." He asked her slightly uncomfortably.

"You mean like a rave?" She wondered.

"Oh, is it still a rave if you don't roll? I just call it a party. But hey, I got a friend who can hook us up with tickets if you're down. Want me to get you one?" Matt said anxiously.

"Yeah. Yeah, sure." Sasha replied. She wasn't really listening, she just wanted to cut the conversation short to go see what Jackson was doing.

"All right, cool. Um, it's Friday, so... looking forward to it." He said with a huge grin on his face before walking away.

Sasha waited until he was out in the hallway and she opened the door to the locker room. She heard heavy breathing and saw Jackson sitting on the bench, wearing only shorts. 

"Jacks?" She asked quietly.

He stood up slowly and walked over to her. When he lifted his head and his gaze met hers, Sasha felt her heart quicken. Jackson's eyes were completely blank. He wasn't himself at all.

"I have to get to class. I'll talk to you later." She said quickly.

"Oh, no, no, you don't. You have perfect grades. You can skip a class." Jackson said. 

The young woman immediately made a step backwards but Jackson tackled her violently against the wall. She instantly froze. He had never laid a hand on her, and she was too shocked to move.

"Are you okay? Your heart's beating like crazy." He said with a wicked smile. "It's not because I'm only wearing a short right?" He added tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear.

"I know the real you Jackson and that, it's not you." Sasha whispered with a shallow breath.

"'Cause we grew up together doesn't mean you know me, it doesn't mean you can save me." Jackson coldly spat."If you don't realize that, then you gotta be the stupidest bitch in this town." He added before grabbing her neck.

"Stop it. Just stop!" Sasha yelled as tears started to form in her eyes when she felt his claws strangle her.

"Well, maybe not the stupidest bitch. Your brother was. I mean, that pussy was stupid enough to kill himself." Jackson said icily.
