Her Human Mate

Horrible Friend

Crystal's POV

I was in my room now wrapped up in my mates arms. I was afraid of letting go, afraid that if I do I would be in pain again. "Hey, hey it's okay Crystal. Please stop crying. " I heard Brian say. I felt him pull me closer to him and rub my back. I didn't even know I was still crying. I wiped my tears away and sighed. "Am I allowed to know what just happened out there? Because I feel like it was that assholes fault and I swear Crystal if he-" Our bond is stronger than I thought. He's very protective.

"No Brian, he  .  .  . I'm fine okay? No need to worry. " He sighed and nodded. "I'm so sorry to do this to you right now but I have to go my sister needs meat the moment." He looked at his phone with worry. I whined a little and held on to him a little tighter. "Please, don't go." That sounded so selfish. "I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you here with that asshole but I can't stay. I'm sorry. I'll call you when I get home okay?" I sighed and nodded. "I'll walk you out."

When he waved and got into his car I shut the door and leaned my head up against it. I should really head upstairs before someone notices that I'm down here. I started to head for the staircase but stopped when I heard my dad call me. "I need you to come here. " I cursed under my breath and headed toward the living room. I saw my mom sitting beside my dad, holding his hand. James was sat across from them with his head down. He can't even look at me.

"We need you guys to talk this out." My mom said. I sat down beside her and stared James down. "There's nothing to talk about. He won't even look at me mom." I started to tear up but held it in. He doesn't deserve any more of my tears. "I don't feel like talking anymore." James said standing. I stood as well and stepped in front of him. "Typical, James. Just typical! You're going to let this come between our friendship!? We've been friends for years. We had this conversation not too long ago. You promised this wouldn't happen! You promised that you would be supportive!"

"Well forgive me if I'm in love with my best friend! It's hard for me to see that you've found your mate already. He doesn't deserve you!" I heard my parents gasp and mutter something.

"Oh and you do right? What, you're the perfect person for me? Huh!? Did you expect us to live a long happy life together as husband and wife? James you're so selfish! "

"I'm selfish!? You're the one who decided to bring him here! You knew the consequences. You're flaunting your ass to some guy you don't even know! I didn't know my best friend was such a whore!" His comment stabbed me in the heart. Why would he say such a thing?

"James enough!" I jumped at the sound of the alpha tone. Alpha John came around the corner and stood beside James. "I'm sorry father but I don't want to be associated with sluts. Especially one that leads men on." My mom gasped and my dad growled at him. I stared up at James with so much hate and anger in my eyes. He flinched back a little at my gaze but recovered his stance. I swung my hand up and slapped him so hard it moved him back a little. "Fuck you James! Don't speak to me ever again!" He looked back at me with pain in his eyes. I've never hit anyone let alone my  .  .  . Ex-bestfriend. I didn't like it but I acted on impulse.

I turned around and bowed at the alpha. "Crystal just-"

"I'm sorry for cutting you off alpha but I need to leave." He nodded and I ran out the back door to get some fresh air. I heard my parents call after me and the alpha yelling at his son.

Good.

He's a horrible friend anyways.
