Chapter eight- Alexander

I feel like a teenage girl with how much I like Jason. Biology is now my favourite subject– it's official because I get to sit next to my mate. Though at lunch he kissed his girlfriend or more like she kissed him. He stood there uncomfortably which shouldn't have made me as happy as it did. And I may have tuned into his conversation, it's hard not to with vampire hearing. Especially as he's my mate, I naturally zone in. This also happens when I'm around friends or family but not as quickly as it happens with Jason. But in biology I felt like we were bonding for the first time. I just want to know what he's said to his girlfriend. The thought nags on my brain and part of me wants to try and go to his house again but as it's not a life or death situation something tells me he wont be as accepting. Once I got home I had to scrub my skin so hard I thought I'd burst into flames. Though my parents are aware of werewolves in this town I don't think they'd be too pleased with me coming home stinking of one. Though it's only been small touches his scent is poignant on my skin.

I'm still waiting for mum to bombard me about my school day and hand me a juice box as I walk into the kitchen. But for whatever reason she's not there. My skin pricks as unease seeps in. What if she's planning on how to kill my mate right now? Though I know I can't speak to them for obvious reasons, part of me wants to tell my sister. We've gotten really close and she feels like family even though she's only been with us for a short stretch of time. Though I wonder if my parents have got her on side for the plan. She's a young vampire so any means of blood sounds like heaven. Out of the both of us she'd probably do it and bring her mate on side. The idea of that makes my skin crawl, for both my family and Jason's pack. If Jason survives my family is most likely dead, but if my family are alive my mate is dead. It's all so impossible.

Going upstairs I try to scope out if my sister is home. My ears zone in on any sounds indicating she's home as well as her scent. Walking to her door, I press my ear up to it. Inside the room there's a sound of a pencil scratching against paper. A sigh of relief leaves my throat and before I can the door opens.

"Alexander, what are you doing leaning up against my door like a perv?" She's leaning against the doorframe, her dark ebony hair cascading down her sides.

Scoffing at her I respond, "I just wanted to talk to you but fine I'll go." Rolling my eyes at the end– this is something I've learnt to do to gain her attention. She'll act really off until the moment you could have good gossip or information and threaten to leave. Turning I start to leave and as soon as I take the first step I feel her hand wrapped around my arm. Her grip is strong and painful as she's freshly a vampire.

"Um, what do you think you're doing? Get in here loser." She drags me into her room practically throwing me onto a chair in her room. "Okay spill." She sits down on her bed crossing her legs and leaning forward.

I honestly don't know what to say, on the one hand I want to talk about finding my mate. On the other hand I need to know where she stands on mum and dads plans.

"Do you know about the werewolves in this town?" I ask absentmindedly, picking at her blanket.

She squints her eyes at me, "Yeah, I do. What about them?" I don't know how but she must read something on my face, "Oh no no no. Alexander please tell me it's not what I think?"

Looking down trying to conjure up the words to lie, I can't. He's my mate and I want to tell her. My lack of words speaks volumes so she comes onto the bed and wraps her arms around me. "Alexander, who are they? Just to make sure, your mate is a werewolf right?"

Tears brim my eyes as I nod, his face looks crestfallen like this is the worst thing in existence, "H-he is the alphas son."

"Oh Alex, I'm so sorry." Her arms wind round me even tighter, at this stage her strength can't really be controlled and for a human this would be bone crushing. Though I don't mind as having her close is all I need. I may not know what my parents will say but one thing is for sure, my sister will always care.

After my sister had found out about my mate, we spoke about him until we heard my parents come back. As soon as they entered the door my face went ashen. Which is pretty hard from a vampire through the lack of blood. My parents are stood in the doorway with grins so wide and blood running from their mouths.

"Part one of our plan is done."

Dread piles into my stomach as I try to figure out what this means. Have they hurt Jason?

"What was part one?" My sister's voice comes out strong and confident. Her arms are crossed in a way that seems like she wont waiver.

"Taking the alpha's mate." Dad chimes in.

"You've killed the alpha's mate?" I responded incredulously.

"Not yet my sweet boy. We've only hidden her for now. Though the lack of casualties on the way to get to her was quite sad. At least there were a few." With that she shrugs heading up the stairs. After a while it's just me and my sister standing there looking at each other in disbelief.

"You need to protect your mate at all costs," she whispers so lowly that not even an ant would hear.

"I know," I gulp, I just need to make a plan of my own.
