Loving The Unloved (Original Story)

Chapter 18

Charlie was scared and didn't know what to do. How was he a traitor? Why was this wolf angry? Charlie curled into himself. "I'm not a traitor." He said the wolf. The wolf barked, basically telling him to shut up. Charlie was willing to do that.

"You! You with that filthy man! Traitor to your own kind! And now you're willing to look down on us as if you're higher!" Charlie whimpered and tried to move away from the wall, but the wolf bit him and Charlie was forced back.

"You don't know real hardship. You don't know what struggle is and yet you lavish in the wealth of that filthy Human. Traitor to your own kind. How could you be one of us?!" Charlie said nothing.

What was there to say? He left his family in that orphanage in the hands of that monster. He took the risk to be a billionaire's boyfriend. He left his old life behind and never looked back. A traitor. He heard growls behind him. Charlie whined. He wished he stayed with Jasper and his family. He was just trying to help. Charlie closed his eyes.

------------------

Jasper sniffed the streets, following Charlie's scent. He had an idea of what Charlie was doing, but he cursed the boy for having a big heart. Sure, he exaggerated a bit when Charlie arrived and told him how dangerous the streets were, but it was still the truth. The streets were harsh and Jasper wanted nothing more but to get his mate and got out of here.

He heard whines, growls, and barks nearby and hurried over, fearing the worst. When he got there, he didn't waste time. He jumped in, biting and yanking until he was protecting the hurt wolf he knew was Charlie. One wolf he recognized to be his previous partner who wanted to leave.

He was ready to kill him. How dare he attack his mate? "You. Beat it before I change my mind. I should kill you for hurting him." Jasper growled out. "You going to do it anyway. By your standards, you'll feed him to the wolves soon enough. Watching our kind die by Alphas will one day be your worst nightmare." said the wolf.

Jasper growled, ready to attack any wolf that comes near. Knowing he won't get anywhere, the angry wolf stalked off. Jasper took the chance to nudge Charlie out the alley. Charlie whimpered but walked with a small limp and bloody body.

"What were you thinking of running off like that? You could've got yourself killed! Have you not listened to the first thing I told you?" Jasper asked in an angry tone. "I was trying to help," Charlie said softly, stopping. Jasper snarled at him. "These wolves don't need help, Charlie. Why didn't you fight back? Why didn't you run?" Jasper asked.

Charlie hung his head and said nothing. Jasper almost wanted to walk away, leave Charlie to his stupidity. Jasper shook his body and turn away. "Let's go pup, you still have a lot to learn. I suggest you start listening or you will end up dead in a minute." Jasper said before walking off.

Charlie followed behind slowly, wanting to cry. They headed back to the pack, Jasper looking back every now and then to check on Charlie. Like a pup or a child, his head was down. "Hold your head up, Pup. You made your choice and suffered the consequences. You can't change anything but the future and I hope for your case, you make better ones." Jasper said, like an adult to a child.

Jasper walked on not noticing Charlie pausing. Charlie wanted to leave but had nowhere to go. Maybe he can go with Victor. Charlie followed. He shouldn't leave. This was just a setback. Sure Jasper was back to his cold self but did Charlie deserve it? He made a stupid choice and nearly got himself killed. It was Charlie's fault. He deserves this.

They made it back to the pack and instantly, Jasper separated from him and headed over to his family. Charlie didn't follow. He headed to the edge of the pack and laid down on a patch to lick his wounds. He felt alone and helpless.

Stupid

He had to feel bad about them and had to go feed them. He had to help them. He just couldn't mind his own business. Charlie wanted to hit himself. He forgot the reason why he didn't leave in the first place. Now, look at him, hurt and bleeding. Seconds away from being dead.

Stupid

Charlie got up and walked off. He had to get it out. The sadness. The tears. Where no one can see him. So no one can call you weak. Foolish Charlie. Just plain foolish. He stopped when he noticed he wasn't alone. He wasn't far from the pack for crying out loud. What? He needs a babysitter now? Victor's words were starting to make sense. What if he can't do it? What if he can't pass?

Stupid.

"Omega." Said a voice. Charlie hated the softness that once was harsh. Charlie noticed Jasper always calls him Omega when he was soft and sexual. Charlie was not up for sex right now, but he still had a job to do. "Omega," said the voice. Charlie growled. Why can't wolves cry? Why his heart has to beat so hard and want to race at the same time?

So foolish.

"Omega." The voice was closer. Charlie wanted to run but didn't. He watched the silk black coat of fur camouflage with the darkness. His red eyes stood out, almost demonic if it weren't for the softness it held. When Jasper turned to Charlie, he had that same line of thought.

Charlie was the stars and the moon in the darkness. Those gold eyes that once were bright now dull because of the sadness it held. "Omega," Jasper said softly. Charlie held his gaze, but you could tell he was hurt. "I'm so sorry for what I said. I was worried about you. That doesn't excuse it, but I want you to understand why though." Jasper said.

Charlie didn't move towards him so Jasper covered the small distance. He licked and rubbed against Charlie, Charlie slowly reciprocating. All Jasper want was for Charlie to be safe. So it didn't take much to worry him when thoughts of Charlie not passing crossed his mind. The wolf was right. His worst nightmare might actually happen.
