MY DOMAIN

Chapter VI: "...my Cub..."

May 5, 5 days until the mission...

Avoiding Alex was hard to do since he was in every class. I would spend all of my time in the student council room and stay there until class started or until lunch ended; it was torture. To make things worse, Lynx would always be with me.

"Is everything okay between you and Alex?" He finally asked. Hearing Alex's name brought me to my knees, that's how much pain it was causing. "Rose?! Get away from her!" Alex said. His voice caused me to scream. I got up and ran out, I couldn't be in there, especially with two males I care about. Grayson and Keith followed after me. Feeling how hurt I was feeling, they knew they had to comfort their Alpha.

Once they caught up, they held me in their arms. "This is wrong!" I thought to myself as I started to cry. "That's it, let it all out," Grayson said. "We're here for you!" Keith whispered. "We've got you!" They both said. Keith hugged me like he used to. I dug my claws into his bare arms and buried my face into his chest. I continue to sob in their embrace.

After a few minutes of sobbing, I calmed down and looked at both of them. "Are you ready? If you are then we should go back." Keith says as he gently rubs my arm. I looked up at him and then looked down at his bleeding arms. "I made a promise to you, remember?" He said, placing a kiss on my forehead. I cover my mouth in shock, "He still remembers." I say to myself. I slowly nod and start licking the holes I made, not caring if Sakata could smell my saliva on him, after all, he was mine first. "Yeah, Commander Austin said he was gonna call the school to see if we can do our exams today, so we don't have to come in during the break," Grayson said as Keith cleaned my eyes. I nod.

We went back to school. Arriving, I smelled their blood, Grayson just pulled me, knowing that in my condition, I would go run to Alex. Sitting in the principal's office, seeing them together made me feel strange, as Grayson just kept pulling me. Both of them were still fighting. "If you just kept your damn mouth shut, she wouldn't have collapsed!" Alex said to Lynx. "It's not my fault she looks depressed! What the hell did you do to her anyway?" Lynx spat back.

"Haven't you heard the expression, never poke a sleeping bear?" Alex said as his wolf was starting to get pissed. "Yes, but what does that have to do with, Ross?" Lynx asked. Alex faces down, hiding his face with his bangs. "You'll see, once she shows you, and once she does, you'll regret falling for her!" He said as he got up to leave. "Wait?!! Where are you going?!" Lynx yelled. "Since when the hell have I ever cared about the rules?! I'm going home." With that, he left.

Commander Austin did call the school, and we got to do our exams. The following days were just meant for training and planning for the mission. As we entered the last couple weeks of May, I had everything planned and ready. It was still hard to go to School, but Gray and Keith were there for me. Just like they said. Of course, Sakata wasn't happy about me hogging Keith all day.

We all meet up for a few training sessions every evening after school. Training had taken all of my time. I didn't want to eat anything as depression had also taken all of my time. I was missing Alex. The day of the mission had arrived, grabbing my duffle bags, I headed over to my jeep without a word to my parents. Opening the trunk, I placed my duffle bag with my clothes down, my duffle bag full of my knives and weapons was still in my hands. I hadn't noticed his scent nearby, my wolf asleep ever since Alex and I hadn't talked. He wraps his arms around me, making me jump as I close the trunk.

His scent suffocated me as he tightened his arms around me, burying his face in my neck. "I'm so sorry!" I say as I start to cry quietly. "Shh! It's okay! I'm here now." He whispered. Turning in his arms, I couldn't help it, and neither could he. He kissed me first, violently as if this would be the last time he would see me. I pull back, placing one of my hands on his chest, and my other one up to my mouth in a fist. Looking away from him, I try catching my breath. He grabbed my face again, this time only kissing my forehead, nipping my nose, and kissing my cheeks.
