Alpha Carlos

-2-

France 🇫🇷
"Man! That was a sick game" Colton said to his buddies at the table we were all at. He was sitting next to me and was serving me a slice.

"Yo! France! What was up today? That alpha was all angry at you" Rex asked.

"Huh? Uhh..." I thought of something quick. "I think he was homophobic or something" was the best excuse I could come up in short notice, which wasn't really a lie. They all gave me grossed out looks, they were very accepting of Colton and I being out as gay. To them it was weird for someone to be against LGBT.

"Well, my man here stood up to him and was able to get him to back off" I smiled and took a bite of my pizza. The cheerleaders were all sitting with their boyfriends. They each thought that the boy next to them would be their mate. Little did they know how it really is. I looked at Colton, he was my first love and the reason I figured out I liked boys instead of girl.

"You're being very quiet babe. Everything alright?" He wrapped me in his arms. I felt weird being touched by him. I shrugged my arms and got his arm away from me. It felt as if my skin as burning from his touch.

"I am okay, just don't feel too great" I smiled and held his hand. Which also felt like I was betraying the guy that I met today. I thought back at what I said to him and felt bad.

"Let's play some games!" Colton pulled me up and dragged me to the mini arcade in the pizzeria.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked, putting a coin in the slot to play. I shrugged and watched him play. "Did the alpha scare you or something?"

I shook my head. Colton won the game and got tickets. "Hell yeah! Now can I win a kiss?"
Whenever we played, our real reward was a kiss.
He pulled me in to kiss me and I pulled away. "What the hell France"

"Sorry, I don't feel good remember? I don't want to get you sick"

"Oh right! Sweet!" He kissed my cheek and it burned when he did. I watched him as he played, his team mates joining him. I was able to get away for a minute to talk to my best friend that was alone in a booth.

"Hey what's up?" Dessa was my one and only girl best friend, we've known each-other since we were just itty bitty pups.

"Bout to head home, I have some stuff I gotta figure out" she said, smiling and giving me a sip of her soda. "What's up with you?"

"Same, gotta figure out what I am going to do"
I sat with Dessa talking about the game and some stuff about the show we watch together.

"Ready to go babe?" Colton said sitting next to me and wrapping his arms around me. His touch burning more and more by the minute.

"Oh yeah I am ready"I jumped

"Goodnight babe!" I yelled, as I closed the door after Colton left. I stood by the door thinking about my life, I went to school and came home and played video games with my boyfriend. Today was different, I didn't want to be touched by Colton it felt weird. I stared at the spots on my arm that had tingled all day, the spots where Alpha Carlos had touched me. I remember his words, how he called me his.  The way he sniffed my hair like he needed it to breath.
My mom always said that a mate loves their mates scent. I had smelt him, and he smelled amazing. Like the wood smell that you get when you spend too much time in the woods with a hint of lemon. After standing at the door for forever, I went straight up to my moms room. My mom always knew what is best for me. I walked in knowing my father was still in the office working on who knows what. He always was working even now that my brother had taken over as alpha. Even if he wasn't working I knew he would avoid me.

"Mom, can I ask you something?" I sat next to her in bed. I was scared to tell her. I mean it's not my secret to tell but she is my mama.

"Sure, sweetie what's going on?" She put down the book she was reading, 'I killed Zoe' is the title of the book on the nightstand. Setting her glasses on top of the book.
