Hey, just lettin' ya' know that this is my first story I wrote that isn't a FanFiction so maybe lay off on the teasing or hating please? Thank you! 

"Hey, Who do you think you are, huh!?" Felix growled as he slammed Calum against the stone wall. I felt my anger rise a little knowing he was being picked on by the one and only beast in this school. I never knew why I felt this way about Calum getting hurt. I never felt that way with other people, especially girls. I guess I just have to live with the fact that I like him. I really don't like anyone else besides him so...

My thoughts were interrupted by someone shoving Calum right into me. As rude as it sounds, I politely stepped back as I held Calum steady. He shook a little as he scooted closer to me. He was afraid and that was enough to make me angry. "Okay Felix, thats enough. If you don't stop this crap then I will stop it myself." I said blankly as I stood taller than the other boy. Felix only smirked and nudged at Calum. 

"Aw, come on Calum! Tell him. Tell him what you've spilled to the whole school now!" He spat as his friends in the back grinned and chuckled mischievously. I didn't say anything as I gave Felix a death glare. Calum slowly turned his head towards me. He was shorter than me so he had to look up a little. I stood tall and growled at Felix. I never looked at him. "I-I-" I cut him off with a gentle tap on the back. I smirked and looked behind Felix with a curious face. "Huh, Is that girl looking at you Felix? She's pretty cute!" I played stupid and pointed behind Felix. 

Felix quickly turned and glanced behind him and the other boys. "Really!?" He looked around and thats when I grabbed Calum by the hand and ran for it. "Come on!" I rushed through the school doors as I gripped his hand tighter. He wobbled behind me. We both made it to the nearest janitors closet. Huffing and trying to catch our breathes, we heard the stampede of guys storm through the halls trying to find us. "Where did they go!? Find them!!" Felix sounded super triggered, but honestly when isn't he?

I turned the light on in the closet to reveal a small boy afraid and hurt. "God, why does this have to happen to me...?" I mumbled to myself and helped him to his feet. "Thank you so much Nick..." He spoke as if he was hit a million times in the throat, which probably happened. I lifted his hoodie that covered his neck and saw very well noticeable bruises and hand marks. "Did Felix do this?" I asked bitterly. 

"N-No..." He looked away. I carefully pulled his hoodie off to reveal many more cuts and bruises. "Don't lie to me Calum! Did. He. Do this!?" I asked more irritated than ever. He snatched his hoodie back and held in a ton of broken tears. I felt my anger rise then fall as soon as I saw him broken by my own voice. 

I stood there and watched his actions for a few seconds. He was hurt and I just made it worse. I stepped closer to him, standing firmly. He trembled and scooted back a tad bit. "U-Uh-" I cut him off and pulled him into a short but gentle embrace. I of course made sure I didn't hurt his wounds. 

He tensed but slowly stopped shaking. He hesitantly wrapped his arms around me as I was about to pull away. He weakishly pulled us back together. "Thank you..." He mumbled into my chest. I, for the first time in a very long time, smiled happily. For some odd reason I only trusted him. I only liked him. I only hung out with him. And I only hugged and touched him. 

Knowing myself, I try to keep myself from any contact or social relationships with people. Yes, It seems stupid, but thats how I grew up. I just hope he doesn't figure out what I am, or anyone for that matter. 

I would have a ton of friends yet I pushed them all away due to my...Problem. No one knows that beast exists...No one at all, yet they look at one everyday. Me. A human who can transform into a giant killer wolf. 

I have a whole pack, yet I ran away from it. I didn't want to be their leader. I didn't want that responsibility. I want to stay away from that. I wouldn't have had a mate because I am too stubborn and I never have any interest in females. Its weird and  don't know what causes me to dislike females. I never understood that. 

I was  lost in my thoughts for a minute before I could feel the door being kicked and yelled at. "Hey loser, I know you're in there! Why don't you come out and tell everyone your little secret!?" Felix growled on the other side of the wooden door. I felt my anger rise as I quickly approached the door. The door flew open due to my strength. "How about you leave him the hell alone? Maybe then I won't kick all of your annoying little behinds." I said firmly as I clenched my now forming fangs. I stepped closer with a deep growl as my fist seemed to be solid shut. 

Everyone but Felix coward before me. He only smirked and stood firmly. I was pretty tall and obviously more muscular than him so It would be extremely easy to beat him up. Calum being a Freshman and Felix being a Sophomore like me kind of sucks and in many ways. 

Felix pulled me closer aggressively and held my shirt as he whispered something into my ear. "I think you might want to check little Calum's pants Nick~" Felix teased evilly and shoved me off. I turned my head at Calum. There he was blushing and struggling in Felix's 'friends' grip. "H-Hey! No, Don't-" I noticed something in his partially unzipped jeans. It was a note. I kept a straight face not really thinking about where I was grabbing at. Calum blushed harder and was still held captive. I grabbed the note from his pants and opened it. Felix's friends let go of him and tossed him to the floor. I still kept reading the note. "You should read it out loud." Felix teased even more. I felt my face cringe in disgust and anger as my eyes hit his. "Only If you agree to leave him alone pipsqueak." I growled at Felix and chuckled as he scoffed and stepped back. "I am not small. You're just taller and more fit. I'll show you pipsqueak!" He acted way too dramatic for his age but I honestly thought it was hilarious. 

"Oh, you've showed me enough. Shoving things down people's pants? Really? Real mature Pipsqueak." I blankly glared at Felix. Calum shakily tried to stable himself. I kneeled down beside him but still kept my glare on Felix. "Hey, he's the one who's gay here. Don't go blaming me on this crap!" Felix laughed as he and his buddies turned and walked off to their classes. "Well, at least he's a normal, healthy minded boy. Unlike you Pipsqueak." I rolled my eyes and looked at Calum's embarrassed face. "I-I..." He sighed like he gave up on something. "I'm so-" "Don't you dare say you're sorry." I interrupted him. He looked up at me in a confused and worried face. "Wh-What?" He asked. "I said don't apologize for something you didn't do. You say you're sorry every single time he does something to you. Theres no need to. You didn't do anything." I spoke harshly and I didn't really mean to. He looked away. "I...He-" He was on the verge of crying. I hated to see him cry. I never want him to cry. I never want to see him hurt. I felt my heart break as I gently pulled him into another embrace. The bell rang but obviously none of us cared at the moment. 

About a minute went by and I still held him. I let his tears soak my shirt. I let his hands grip me tight, almost to the point of hurting. All I was focused on was comforting him. I wanted him to stop crying. 

I gently stroked his back slowly. It seemed to calm him down a bit. "Hey Nick...?" He turned his head so he could speak from my chest, but he never removed his rested head from my soaked chest. "Hm?" I felt his grip around me tighten more. "Why?" He asked blankly. I went confused for a second. "Why what?" I asked softly. 

"Why do you tolerate me? Why do you hang around me? Why do you even like me in the first place? All you really do is scare off Felix and his crew. I mean, thanks and I love that but...I never see you around any other people but me." He sighed. "I tolerate you because you're the only one to tolerate me. I hang around you because I hate seeing you by yourself."

"I never really connect with many people because...Well, lets just say I'm a lone wolf."
