Bound, Fated and Forbidden

Mate

 Mate

It was pouring with rain as the boys circled each other, shouting obscenities. I couldn’t do anything except watch, standing on the steps getting soaked.

“You shouldn’t have touched her!” Jonah screamed, lunging at Lucas, landing a shot in the ribs and then bringing his knee up into Lucas’ stomach.

Lucas bent over in pain.

“I turned her! She’s mine! it’s not like she pushed me away.”

“You hated her!”

“I did not, I hated that she was scared of me and not you”

“Well you’re the one that bit her! Plus you were rough!”

It was Lucas who moved forward this time Sending a right hook towards Jonah who dodged and punched him just under his ribs. I heard a crack and pain flashed over Lucas’ features before he punched Jonah in the nose and again in the stomach. He grabbed Jonah’s head and brought his knee up to connect with nose. Jonah’s nose was gushing blood as Lucas whipped his leg around and kicked him in the chest knocking him on his ass in the mud.

Lucas knelt above Jonah gripping the front of his shirt and pulling back his right arm, ready to strike.

“She’s my mate!” Jonah yelled, causing Lucas’ eyes to widen. I didn’t understand. Mate? What is he talking about? Lucas helped Jonah up and stepped back, his eyes still wide. His mouth opened then close. His eyes slowly dragged to me as Jonah turned to look at me aswell.

I stood shivering, with my arms wrapped around my body. Lucas’ eyes held pain and confliction whereas Jonah’s held love and concern. He ran towards me, pulling me inside and sitting me on the carpet near the burning fire. He left and returned with a towel and some dry clothes before going into the kitchen.

I could still see Lucas standing outside through the front door. He must’ve sensed me and he looked up and met my eyes. Pain. Instantly my heart dropped at the look on his face. He stared at me before turning and disappearing into the darkness.
