The Alpha's Vampire Mate

Untitled Part 16

James POV

I practice was let go early. I notice Michael talking to Xavier by the school entrance. I hated his guts.He was a creep that just wouldn;t get lost. He had some weird fetish for Clara.

"What are you doing her, creeper?"I asked directly to Xavier as I joined their little party.

Xavier threw a mean glare in my direction before ignoring me. I put my arms around Michael's shoulders.

"Anyway I can get a ride home?" I gave Michael my best smile before he rolled his eyes and nodded his head.

"You're the best man." I said while looking around, "Why did Clara leave early anyway?"

"Some guy named Nick drove off with her ." Michael said as it was very obvious Xavier was too pissed to speak.

"Oh? I didn't know my bro was here." Nick must of been visiting old friends. I was too focused on my practice to notice his presence. 

"Brother?" Xavier scoffed in disgust. It was James' turn to glare at him. James stepped up to him and Xavier took this as a challenge.

"You wanna fight boy?" he was so ready to smash James' face into the ground. The fact that JAmes was so close to his mate infurtiated him. 

"Whoa, whoa!" Michael suddenly stepped infront of James pushing him back, "Let's just chill James."

"Don't disprect my brother." James was ready to fight. He kind of wanted to. The way Xavier treated Clara .

Help.

Clara's voice rang through James head. He stopped completely. His face went blank. His felt his heart skip a beat. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong. His eyes roamed the ground as he tried to reconnect with Clara. But he couldn't. 

"Look at me boy," Xavier had James balled in a bunch with his fist raised ready to know the living day lights out of him.

"Clara's in trouble." James said suddenly which cause Xavier to loosen his grip.

"What?" he asked not completely understanding James. Xavier felt a pang in his heart as he couldn't feel his mate's prensence. He was too riled up before about James to notice anything off putting about his mate. Befcause Xavier marked her he could feel bits and pieces of her emotions if her guard was done. Xavier felt nothing.

"Get in the car!" Xavier, James, and Michael raced to his black SUV. James hoped in the passanger as Xavier took the drivers seat. 

James led them down the road they drive as they go home. Xavier drove just as recklessly as Clara did. The car came to a screeching hault after five minutes of driving.  In front of them looked like a crime scene. James mind went blank as he looked at the scene in front of him. The red jeep was on the side of the road with huge dents and all the glass was smashed on the floor. The part that freaked James out was the blood. 

Xavier hands grew white as he tried to hold himself together. He was so close to losing it. His body shook with anger as he saw blood on the ground. It was pools of blood. 

Michael was calling forth all warrior pack memebers as Xavier took in the scene. 

"Who did this?!" Xavier roared. Someone had hurt his mate and they were going to die.

James knealt to the ground at the pool of blood. His fangs extended as his fingers picked up the blood touched his lips. 

Xavier watched not quite comprehending what he was doing. James concentrated on the flavor before concluding the blood wasn't from Clara or Nick. Vampire blood was gross and disgusting. The blood James tasted was delicious. 

Xavier looked into the woods when he saw a trail of blood. He lost complete control and shifted into his wolf. James chased after the wolf. The wolf stopped a good mile in when he reached a spot with leaves and dirt covered in blood. The wolf's body shook out of anger. His howl was so full with anger and pain that it sent a shiver down James body. 

"It's Clara's blood isn't it?" James asked as he felt his eyes water. His best friend and brother were hurt. 

Michael came to the scene with more pack memebers follwoing him. 

"Split up and find your luna!" he yelled. He hand grabbed James shoulder trying to comfort him. 

"Alpha, I have every tracker and warrior out looking." his voice was stern. 

"James," Michael's voice held pity," I need you to come with me."

James shook off his hand, "No."

"I need to question you. You might know something about who took them."

"Y'all did this." James voice was filled with hurt and hate. "You brought this here! We were doing just fine until y'all came!" James lunged towards Xavier. Xavier's wolf was not having it and pinned James to the ground. James was not a fighter. Nick was the fighter. 

"I'll kill you!" James shouted. Xavier snarled in his face. His wolf was two seconds away from biting at his throat.

"Alpha!" Xavier looked over at a tracker running to the scene. "We found a body!"
