Love or War?

Chapter 9

Leila's POV

'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Green Day blared as Mikey and I kissed. Currently, I was straddling him and my hands were holding his face to mine. His hands were beneath my black tee, messing with the back of my black lace bra.  

It snapped as Joanna called in my head, 'Leila!' Her tone urgent. 

Breathless, I asked, 'What?' Mikey leaned up and placed soft kisses on my neck as his hands slid to my front. 

'Ash and Harry are fighting. I'm talking real fighting. I need help!' 

"Shit," I muttered aloud. Clearly, Mikey took that as in our making out and his hand squeezed my side, his kisses getting a little more rough. 

I pulled back and looked at him, "Sorry.. Jo needs my help." I reached beneath my shirt to reconnect the hooks and holes. 

"Should I come with?" He asked, not caring about me abruptly stopping. 

I shook my head, "No, you're not fully back to health. I don't want to risk it." 

"I don't think this matters," He replied, a small chuckle behind it, "We were just about to do it." 

I narrowed my eyes and shook my head, "Yeah.. No. We were not." 

"You don't know that," He mocked, sitting himself up and reached down to grab his shirt off the floor. 

I flashed him my beta blues, "Beta knows. And I'm also telling you to stay here. If I need you, I'll call you, okay?" 

Reluctantly, he mumbled, "Okay." 

I leaned over to give him a kiss, "Love you." 

As I escaped out the door I heard him say it back. I went straight for the woods and transformed. 

'Where you at?' I asked only Jo. 

She replied instantly, 'In the woods right behind Ralph's. Please, hurry.' 

I pushed my hind legs even more and my paws pounded at a faster pace. As I neared Ralph's I could feel him. What is he doing here? 

Without looking back I called, 'What're you doing here?' 

'Harry called for me. Said he needs help,' He replied. 

'No,' I shook my head, 'Jo called me for help. To help Ash. As far as I'm concerned, your jealous friend started this.' 

Niall scoffed, 'Like Hell he did. Ashton needs to be less protective.' 

I came to a halt and turned around to give him my Beta blues, 'Ashton wouldn't need to be so protective if Harry stayed away. Same with Mikey and you.'

He growled lowly, 'We wouldn't have to be jealous if you would just be with us! We're your mates!' 

I stalked up to him, giving him a warning growl, 'You're no mate of mine. And never will be.'  Hastily, I turned around and finished to my destination. Ash had Harry pinned down by his neck, looking ready to pull back. Jo stood looking at them; wanting to help Harry. I could just sense it. 

Despite my previous words with Niall, I ran and tackled Ash off of Harry. 

'What the fuck, Lei?' Ashton growled. 

'Stop it!' I growled, looking between the two, 'Just stop it. Jo wouldn't want you fighting over her.' 

Harry muttered as he got up, 'There shouldn't even be a fight.'
