"Just... please stop" I growled but he kept getting closer. He got closer and closer.
All my pleas ignored. "I love you so much" he murmured obsessively, soon he was way too close.
"Get Off Me!" I finally growled, throwing his hands off me. The shock in his eyes of my reactions angered me.

I got even madder when a pair of hands caught my fall, me thinking it was my mate catching me again, I realised that these hands didn't bring sparks up my arm. I shifted my head over to see it was Alex.

"Astra told you to leave her alone, not use her against her will, bastard!" He screeched angrily. "SHE IS MY MATE AND I AM YOUR ALPHA! RESPECT ME!" He screamed at Alex. When he started to get closer I jumped up and hid behind Alex for protection, truly scared. But this was mostly my fox acting. She was hurt and angry at our mate.

I know that most She-Wolves would still choose their mate in all situations, even if they were terrified by them or treated badly. But my fox and I weren't used to these reactions which are supposed to be love. We don't get bossed around. We aren't some object that is forced by will and Alex understands that.

"A-Astra? Come over here! Not to Him! He's trying to take you away from me!" My mate cried. "He's protecting me, and I can trust him" I squeaked, still afraid of his tone towards me.

"HOW DARE YOU! HES JUST A STRANGER WHO IS TRYING TO USE YOU!" He screamed yet again. The anger in my fox was then too much to bare but I knew I had to control her more than ever. Who knows what bad my mate would do to us if he found out! My fear rose higher with my anger.

"Stay away from Astra for your own good. You are not my alpha and you never will be. And I have every right to be trusted my Astra. I haven't ever hurt her feelings. I have saved her life and I know one of her biggest secrets that you will never know. I know for a fact she won't ever trust you enough to tell you, mate or not" Alex growled, arms spread out protectively around me.

"Let her go" he said more calmly. "Adrian that's enough! If I knew exactly how to reject you in words, I would! But you see, I'm just a human who does not have any intentions on instantly being someone's property as I'm sure no one else in the right mind would!" I hissed, trying not to bare my teeth at him.

He then started at me for a moment, every work processing into that obsessive brain. His upset stare then turned into a devilish grin. "Ok Astra, Alex. You guys win.. THIS battle. Ill have Astra running into my arms soon enough" Adrian said  before walking away.

I then let out an exaggerated sigh. "I can't believe that, that-" Alex cuts me off, "Freaky obsessive jerk" Alex gritted out.

It was only then that I noticed the true anger in Alex's eyes. The way he looked at me, it was so genuine and pure.
The way he protected me too.

"Hey.. you said Kelly was suiciding?" I asked him suddenly. His face expression turned embarrassed. "Uh well... um... it was more that I missed you for being away for so long... I was worried about you... and... we still haven't talked about that date you owe me and-" Anger rushed up my veins when I realised he true truth. "ALEX HOW COULD YOU! THIS is about the DATE! That's it isn't it? If I rejected you as my friend then you... you are just using me!" I huffed angrily before running away to my room, refusing to talk to anyone.

The next day...

"Astra its time for assembly" Olivia shouted to me before leaving out the door. I sighed angrily before getting changed into comfy clothes before heading out the door.

When I got into the large room that's usually used for assembly's, I sat in a random spare seat and barely payed attention to the awards given out.

Maybe I should leave school and get a job. I feel like my friends have abandoned me, my mate is crazy and I have no family. All enemies, nothing else.
