Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 58: Every You Every Me

What was that?

Jayden attacking Skylar in the middle of the cafeteria in front of the entire student body? Why? He didn't say anything that was insulting!

In fact, it wasn't even an insult at all. He only told the truth, but even if he lied, there would still be no reason for that kind of violent reaction for him to do that. I abhor violence of any kind.

It's not Skylar's fault that my mother refused to approve of Jayden. It's not like he bad mouthed him to her or anything like that.

I am dumbfounded that this happened. Jayden has always been a caring, gentle soul, that always treated me with respect and attention. How in the world did he get violent all of a sudden? *gasp*

I understand he was frustrated, I am too. But that is not an insurmountable hurdle. He can still win my mother over. Though now that he displayed this kind of behavior, it's going to be that much more difficult. *sigh*

It's Tuesday here in Colorado, the third of November, Jayden has been sanctioned with a penalty of suspension for two weeks from Ravenwood.

Skylar is healing after this morning's brawl in the cafeteria, but he has been seen by the school nurse and is attending classes normally. The hardest blow he took was when he fell from the chair with Jayden's assault on him.

I still cannot believe I am saying these words. I am aghast to have witnessed their fight earlier this morning. Dumbfounded that it happened in the first place. Utterly gobsmacked that Jayden would attack anybody for no reason at all.

This is not like the time when the two of them fought during combat practice - a special elective for those who wish to be a warrior, Beta, or Alpha of their packs. Back then, Jayden thought that Skylar had taken advantage of my heat. I understood his motivation clearly and where he was coming from. But that was then, this is now.

Ironically, I had half a mind to pull a 'Skylar' and go back to Boulder during the week just to talk to my mom and convince her that Jayden and I belonged together. I am NOT happy with her decision of refusal to approve of him, citing unresolved feelings for Skylar.

Who has unresolved feelings for Skylar? Why? Just because he keeps repeating over and over that he loves me? If that was the case, nobody would ever have their heart broken. All it would take for them to be happy with their loved ones is to profess their love and that would be it.

No, ladies and gentlemen. That is not how the world works.

Lots of people fall in love, but most of the time, their love is unrequited. It's a sad fact that this happens, but it does. And Skylar saying that he loves me does not equate to me loving him back. It does not work that way.

It's like watching "THE BOYFRIEND" on Netflix. Lots of boys expressed their affection for one guy or another, but unfortunately, only one couple survived by the end. It happens. As it happened to me too back in high school. I fell for the straight jock, the most cliché of all times for queer people, but the closest I got to him was when I kissed his girlfriend on a dare. Don't ask me why it was a girl, it was at a party, and we were playing truth or dare.

But my point is that nothing I have done so far would elicit any kind of reaction from Skylar like he is having about me. I did not lead him on, I did not promise him anything. I did not kiss him or anything of an intimate nature. Unless you count hugs, which I don't.

Skylar, for his part in the equation, also did nothing to deserve being hit. Not that I think anyone deserves to be attacked, but there are circumstances so extreme that elicit an emotional response. This was not one of those situations.
