the Mafia alpha and his mate★

~his protector~

It's been 3 months since Darren joined school. I always stay with him at lunch, even though we didn't really talk... people would always make fun of him and it made my blood boil. I don't know why but anytime I heard someone talk bad about him I just wanted to kill them on the spot. But I knew I couldn't do that.. :,)

I was sitting in class during break and was drawing a picture of Darren. I always loved drawing and I loved to draw him while he wasn't paying attention. It was when he looked the prettiest.

I continued to draw, glancing over at him every so often so I could get every detail of him in the picture.
I got up to throw my pin away because it ran out of ink. As I was walking back I heard someone talking bad about Darren and it made my blood boil. I stopped and looked around the class to see who was talking about him. I glanced around the room and it was... MELANIE?? what the fuck!!? Why was my best friend talking bad about him!? I walked over to her with a irritated look on my face.

"What the actual fuck Melanie!?" I said in a irritated tone.

She looked at me with a confused look on her face.

**Melanie**
What?...

"Why are you talking bad about him!" I asked angrily.

**Melanie**
Talk about who?? What are you talking about?

"Darren!" I said a little to loudly as I could feel people looking at me.

**Melanie**
Oh, him? What about it? I just said he smells bad. Everyone here says it to.

"That's not the point! You shouldn't even be talking about him behind his back! It's wrong and you know I don't like it when you talk bad about him!"  I blurted out, the hole class heard me.

**Melanie**
Why should it matter? He's a freak! *Laughs* if anyone is crazy here it's you kas! You actually think he smells good!? Your just a freak like him!

I stared at her in disbelief...did she really just call me a freak? My best friend..? I didn't wanna believe what I just heard... she called him a freak. It made me so mad. I looked at her with a death stare.

I slapped her across the face. I was so mad I didn't even think, I just did it.

"Your a fucking bitch! How dare you call him or me a freak? You just trying to fit in with everyone else because you know your a fucking nobody! I've been your best friend since we were kid's! I've stood by your side even at moment's I shouldn't have. But now, now I'm done with all your shit! I don't ever wanna talk to you again."

A lashed out on her. I wasn't even thinking I just got so mad and irritated I told her what I've wanted to say for so long.

I was so caught up in the moment I didn't even realize everyone in class was looking at us, Even Darren. I glanced over at him and my eye's started to tear up. I wanted to cry...to run over to him and hug him but I couldn't. He probably didn't even remember my name...
Before Melanie could respond I ran out if the classroom and walked down the hallway holding back my tear's.

~darren's pov~

I was sitting in class when I was saw kas arguing with her best friend.

I heard kas say my name and I looked over at her.

"Why do you talk bad about him even though you know I don't like it!?"  Kas said in a angry voice. I'd never seen her this way before... she's always been nice and sweet to everyone.. even me...

As I watched them fight I could tell that kas was getting more and more mad at every word Melanie spoke.

"Why should it matter? He's a freak! *Laughs* if anyone is crazy here it's you kas! You actually think he smells good!? Your just a freak like him!"  I heard Melanie say and start laughing. Did she really just call her best friend a freak? As I was thinking I heard the last part of what she said. Wait... did she just say kas thought I smelled good...? I heard her say it once before in the hallway 3 months ago but I didn't wanna believe it. I guess I was right...it's kas.

As I was in my own thoughts I saw kas glance over at me with tear's in her eye's. She ran out of the classroom before anyone could say or do anything. I stood up and calmly walked out of the classroom and down the hallway looking for her.

~back to kas pov~

I was walking down the hallway trying to hold back angry tear's as I heard someone following me.

"Hey, wait"  I heard a deep voice say from behind me. I stopped and turned around, it was Darren? What was he doing here..

As soon as I saw him I started crying. I didn't want him to see me like this but I couldn't help it. I felt as if I could do anything around him. He made me feel safe. I walked over to him and just hugged him tightly. He might not like it but he can get mad at me later.

He bent down and sat against the wall. He pulled me into his chest and slightly sitting on his lap. He hugged me tightly. What? Why was he... I didn't understand but I soon gave in and hugged him back as a cried into his chest. His musky sent calmed me down. as I closed my eye's and started to fall asleep.

~darren's pov~

I sat there quietly as kas cried into my chest. I didn't know what to say and didn't wanna make her cry more so I stayed quiet. It hurt me to see her like this... she held onto me tightly and soon calmed down a little, I could feel her sniffing my sent a little, it seemed to calm her down more. I was happy I could help her even without saying anything... she would always back me up when people were making fun of me because of my sent. I don't understand why she is so kind to me but I like it.

Moments later I could hear her soft breathing. "Did she fall asleep..?" I thought to myself. "Hm..she must of been tired. What do I do now? I don't wanna wake her up but I can't just leave her here..." I thought about what to do and just decided to skip school for the rest of the day and take her to my place. School was almost over anyway and my mate needed me. I picked her up and started walking to my house, it wasn't far from the school but it was deep in the woods. I lived in a mansion that was owned by my dad. The head of the mafia.

I walked up the stairs to my room while still holding kas. She was so light...and small, I felt as if one wrong move and it would break her. I had to be gentle with her and make sure not to hurt her.

I walked into my room and quietly shut the door. I walked over to my king sized bed and laid her in the middle. I put a glass of water on the night stand in case she woke up and was thirsty. I laid next to her making sure she was safe. I gently wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her close to me. I closed my eye's and felt at peace for the first time in a very long time, I laid there with her and soon feel asleep.

(Hope y'all enjoy this! Sorry if it may have been cringe a tiny bit. Let me know what you think and give me ideas for the next chapter!)
