Lilith.

Chapter 14 - My Responsibility

Lilith - 

" This is so boring" Caius and Caspian were sat behind me in Math and for the past half an hour, which is from the start of the lesson, they have been prodding me and distracting me from learning. " Caius I'm saying this for the last time, stop distracting me" I harshly whispered back to them, luckily we were sat towards the back of the room so the teacher couldn't really see us. "You don't need Math" Caspian prodded me in the back with his pencil, I turned around and snapped his pencil. 

"Lilith would you like to explain why you have snapped Caspian's pencil?" I turned back around to find everyone in the class staring at me, including the teacher who had asked me the question. I looked at her not believing that she actually wanted me to answer that question. " Go on I don't have all day, we'll see if it was worthy enough for you to stop the lesson" I looked at her and cleared my throat. 

"You chose to stop the lesson to ask me that question" Everyone snapped their head towards the teacher, I myself questioned why I even said what I had. " I snapped the pencil because Caspian was annoying me, and distracting me from your lesson" The teacher looked at me stunned, I myself was stunned, why have I just said that. Why am I like this? 

"Lilith?" The teacher took a hard intake of breath and exhaled. 

"Yes?" 

"Get out of my class" I rolled my eyes, why is she being so petty about a pencil? 

"Can we join her?" the twins asked and I wanted to smirk, everyone knew that the twins were Ivanov's by blood so whatever they want to do, they do. " Go" The teacher put her hands on her face before she leaned back in her chair. I took my things and made my way out. 

"Wait till we get home" I threatened the twins who put their hands up in surrender. 

Once we were outside of the classroom I turned around and faced the demons in a werewolves' body. "Before you say anything, technically we saved you from a boring lesson" I looked at them in disbelief, I had a lot of disbelief today. " What if I wanted to learn?" The twins looked at each other and burst out laughing. " Sorry Lil I'll ignore what you just said" I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of the twins to the cafeteria. 

"You've got to give us praise we saved you from that lesson" The twins ran up to walk beside me and were trying to reason with me. " Demitrius will be pissed" I replied knowing that Dem will be mad, he is always telling us to take school seriously regardless of what our futures are destined to be. " Will he though?" Caspian asked me. 

"Oh yes he will be" We stopped dead in our tracks, we looked at each other not really wanting to turn around. " And he is" I groaned internally. My brother is very stern on us, he is technically older despite all of us being in the same grade and he is kind of the father when our parents are not around. " Wasn't my fault" I said turning around to finally face a raging Demitrius. 

"Oh really?" Demitrius crossed his arms as we walked over to him, anyone could come into the halls and over hear our conversation and that was something we didn't like. " The two idiots were distracting me" I said pointing at the twins who gave me a look of betrayal.

"The teacher sent you out for snapping my pencil, we didn't actually have to leave the class" Caius smiled triumphantly at us which resulted in Caspian rolling his eyes. " You imbecile why did you tell him we voluntarily left the class?" Caius looked at Caspian in confusion before realisation hit him and he closed his eyes down in frustration at himself. 

"Whatever, I don't want that to happen again it's not showing a good example to the rest of the school of the Ivanov's" We looked at Demitrius more seriously, our antics have been hurting our image recently. " You and your antics need to stop or I'll send you all back to Russia" 

"Where?" We turned our heads to see Alexander walking towards us, he seemed pissed off and that was not good. Thinking about it, going back to Russia wouldn't be that bad. "I'm sorry?" Demitrius cleared his throat and asked Alexander what he meant, Alexander was now in our little circle and was looking straight at Demitirus. What is going on? 

"Where are you sending her?" Alexander looked down at me when he said that and looked back at Demitirius. Caspian and Caius raised their eyebrows in shock at the way that Alexander was acting.  " That does not concern you Alexander" Demitirus sighed. 

"She is my mate, you are NOT sending her anywhere" We all snapped our heads back towards Alexander who was now clearly raging and his wolf was beginning to surface. Demitrius stood taller now as his stance was being challenged, something an Ivanov does not take lightly. "Calm yourself down Alexander" Demitirius tried to calm down the situation, I looked at the clock and there was barely a few minutes left before people will start leaving their lessons. 

"Don't tell me what to do, you are not taking my mate away from me again" Alexander's eyes were flickering from black to his original colour which meant that he was very close to loosing it. " Lilith calm him down or he'll end up ripping the school apart" Demitirus was cautiously looking at Alexander for a few seconds before he spoke, all of us knew Alexander wasn't being himself. I looked around the hall as I noticed that there was just a minute left before people would show up and Demitrius was right, Alexander would rip anyone to shreds who would walk in his way. 

"Right" I said noticing an empty classroom. " In here" I said pushing Alexander away from the group and into the empty classroom. Split second decision here. I locked the door behind us as you didn't require a key to lock the door from the inside of the classroom and turned around to find a raging Alexander stood staring at me. 

"Calm down" I instructed him in as monotone as I possibly could, I didn't particularly want to be in this situation. "I can't" I heard him growl out, this time I noticed that he was looking behind me to the people that were clearly looking into the room. I closed the blind and turned back around. " Now can you calm down?" I asked him, I wanted this to be over and done with as soon as possible. 

Alexander pushed himself off the desk he was leaning on and made his way over to me. Once he was too close for my liking, and my wolf as she was jumping around in my head due to the proximity that we were in, he grabbed my and pulled me into his chest. This was alien to me so I stayed limp, was Alexander hugging me? 

Can you not feel the sparks? Yes he is.

Can you shut up?

"Hug me back...please" Alexander seemed... desperate. 

It will help his wolf calm down.

Okay miss I know it all. 

I took my wolves advice and slowly wrapped my arms around Alexander's torso, my actions made him only pull me in closer. We stayed like that for a few minutes before he pulled away. 

I couldn't even deny that I enjoyed the moment we just had. 

"Thank you, I needed that" 

I gave him a tight nod,  this was something I needed to do to save the Ivanov name. 

That's my responsibility.
