The Alpha's Heart

Another Day

Jaxon's POV

I haven't slept. All I could think about was Kandice. I had hurt her. I didn't mean to, but she was pissing me off and I got so upset. I wanted to make her mine and I lost control of my wolf. I got so mad when I found out she crossed territories. I didn't know if she was safe, or hurt, or dead. Everyone kept telling me to calm down, but I couldn't. I needed her with me, in my arms. When I touched her for the first time it took my breath away. My world stopped and all I wanted was to keep her there forever.

I sound like a love sick puppy right now but it's true. I need her, I want her. It really hurt when she rejected me. It felt like my heart shattered into a million pieces. My wolf wanted to come out then but I had to hold him back.

She may think she doesn't want me, but I know she really does, or at else her wolf does. There had to be some reason for her not to want to be with me.

I was getting frustrated. It had been two weeks since we had last spoken to each other in the woods. She always looks so happy, smiling and laughing with her friends, but whenever she sees me she gets this blank look on her face. She tries to stay as far from me as possible and it really is killing me, I have to look at her beautiful face all day, but can't touch or even go near her. Her scent was so alluring to me, like lavender and french vanilla. I just wanted to kiss her, but I couldn't touch her.

Like right now, she was sitting right next to me. I knew she knew that I was watching her, but she just ignored me and fidgeted in her seat like she had been all week. She had her hair pulled back in a loose ponytail and had gotten blonde streaks that look sexy. The white skinny jeans she had on were skin tight and hugged her body perfectly. The shirt she was wearing is black and red. It didn't have a back, it only had two black strings criss-crossing each other. It was a major turn on.

RRIINNGG! RRIINNGG!

The bell rang and Kandice shot up out of her seat putting as much distance between us as possible. I sighed and calmly walked out of the room with everyone else. As I walked out the room, I was immediately hit by something that I really hate to admit. Jealousy. Kandice was walking down the hall with the new kid, Salem Garnes. He was always waiting for her and doing things for her. It seemed like he was always touching her. His scent seemed sort of familiar whenever I smelt it on her. They had been together since last week, like a couple and it was really starting to get annoying.

She doesn't want her own mate, but she likes this filthy human!

My wolf growled. 'Mine!'

'Calm down, Justin.' I told him. 'She needs space. She doesn't want us, we have to forget about her.'

'She's mine. My mate and I will NEVER forget about her.' He growled again.

I ignored him, but it was true I could never forget about her, she's my mate and to say that I didn't love her would be a lie. When you meet your mate, you automatically have some type of love for them, but Kandice was resisting that love. I know she had been hurt, but did that give her a good enough reason to push me away? I wanted to know what had made her like this. I knew part of this was losing her family, but there had to be more. I don't know why I thought there was more, but I just knew there was. Something or someone had to have hurt her in the pass to make her so distrusting. Right?

Or maybe it was just me. I know how I can be sometimes. Self-centered, arrogant, jerk, asshole, whatever you wanna call it. Maybe that's helping her push me away. Maybe I really should forget about her and move on no matter how much it hurts to think about her not being in my life. I would let her go if that's what she wanted.

I turned the corner to go to my locker and Grace was standing there, as usual. I rolled my eyes and stopped next to her, opening my locker.

"What?" I asked, not turning to look at her.
