The Elemental Wolf (boyxboy)

Chapter 10: Mates? No, Soulmates

•Adrien•

"Adrien?"

....

"Adrien.."

"Please can we talk about this?"

....

"Not right Dad...please"

....

"Ok...I'll let you be, but we will have to talk sooner or later about this to your mother and to the Alpha"

"....thank you"

What else was I supposed to say? I won't get out of it either way. The one thing that I hate the most...

Talking.

It was a short drive home since dad was going 10mph over the speed limit. He must be really upset about it.

Why am I not upset you ask? Well, because this isn't new to me. I've been bullied at every school I have ever gone to.

What is new is that my dads reaction to the situation. I rarely see him upset...and right now I feel like he's upset with me.

I doubt that's the case, but I can't help it. I react badly when people become angry. I become smaller. I make myself smaller and distance myself from anyone.

We pull up in our driveway and I quickly make my way to the front before my dad can stop me.

I walk-in the front door and try not to seem hectic. I rather not worry my mother.

"Oh! Adrien! How was your first day?"

I didn't answer at first because I didn't want to talk about this right now. I feel too vulnerable. I need to get away.

"Sweetheart?" She was walking towards as I stared at the ground.

I flinched when I felt a warm hand on my cheek. I didn't realize how close she had gotten. I looked up at her when she stroked my hair gently.

"Let's go upstairs ok? I know you must've had a long day." My face and shoulders instantly relax.

She holds my hand gently and helps me up the stairs. I just want to lay down and hide away.

We get to my room and she gently takes my backpack and jacket off.

I don't feel like I'm in my body. I feel like I'm on autopilot. I wonder what my face looks like.

I let my mother maneuver me around my room. She takes my socks off along with my shirt. She gently lets me sit on the bed and takes off my pants but keeps my boxers on. She's seen me naked plenty of times so this is normal for me.

She gently moves me to lay down and I comply completely.

I bet your wondering why she did this, and so naturally too. These are the steps my mom and dad take to help me out of a post panic attack. After a panic attack, my body becomes unresponsive and I get lost in my thoughts and don't worry about my well being. That's why my mom and dad decided to take of me when I'm unresponsive. I'm aware of what they're doing and they're aware of this.

We set specific rules and we don't ever change them. These steps help me calm down after a panic attack and help me if I know I'm about to have a panic attack.

It was a little difficult to adjust to the system but we made it work.

My mom tucks me in and strokes my hair. She stays in my room until I fall asleep because I don't like being like this when I'm alone. So she stays with me until I am in a deep sleep. It doesn't take long for me to fall asleep, but it's hard to stay asleep for a long period of time.

She leaves once my breathing slow downs. That's her que to leave my room but leave it slightly cracked so I don't feel isolated.

Now everything is quiet..and safe.

•Maria•

I quietly make my way to James and I master bedroom.

Just as I suspected. James is on the balcony. He goes there when he needs to think.

"I failed him, Maria"

"No you didn't James" I walk up behind him and gently touch his slouched back. "Can you tell me what happened..?" I press gently.

He looks up from his hands and stares at me before giving a sheet of paper.

I gave him a confused glance as he handed me the paper. My heart dropped when I read the words.

Oh..my poor baby boy..how could they say such mean and hurtful things? I re-read the words over in my head hoping this wasn't true. That this didn't actually happens to my Adrien.

"Did you find out who did this?"

"Yes, some boys from the school making fun of the new kid"

"What are the names?"

"Maria.."

"No, James what are those boys names," I growled as my eyes flashed orange. My wolf was very upset. I was upset!

•sigh•

•Damien•

I walked slowly on purpose. Hoping to make their wolves pace in anticipation. I took my time making my way home.

I had to make sure my mate was ok.

I was able to feel that he felt safe and cared for.

I felt relieved. Maria and James will take care of him as I deal with the group of boys that made him feel unsafe in the first place.

"Alpha, your father says to come home. He wants you there to think of a reasonable punishment" my Beta was with me as well. I told him to keep track of my mate when I wasn't present. When he told me that Jason locked my mate in the janitors closet I was fuming. Obviously, I had to not show it on my face when I went to find him. Before I left to go to my mate I told Charles to stop those boys from getting of the school grounds.

"Ok..we'll leave now".

We shift into our wolves and run through the dense forest.

I already feel the strain from being away from him. I'm hoping he stays asleep until I come by later. I don't want him to feel anymore pain.

Ever again.
