stared at the blood gliding down my stomach. It felt hot and sticky like it was coming out it globs. I don't know why, but I just kept staring at him, like I was begging for his help. It didn't last long before Sunshine called out my name, pulling me out of the sweet trance I was in. Glancing back at her worried face, I pulled my jacket over my body, "Excuse me," I whispered softly and made my way out of the cafeteria.

Pushing through bodies I finally made it to the entrance of the school and took a deep breath. Removing my jacket from my wound I lifted up my shirt and to my horror saw that one of my wounds had reopened due to the shove. A loud growl sounded behind me and I jumped in fear, forgetting that Nate was watching me in the cafeteria and he most likely followed me outside. Quickly I pulled my shirt down and turned to face him. 

"Yes Alpha?" I asked softly and to my surprise, he held his hand out to me, as if expecting me to take it. Cautiously, I took his hand and he walked me to his car. Unlocking it and opening it, he helped me inside and shut it firmly closed. I jumped slightly and turned my head to look at him."Nate I-"

 "It's Alpha to you," he snapped at me.

"I'm sorry, Alpha, you don't have to take me to your car, I'm okay," I reached for the door handle but before I could grasp it, he locked the car.

"Ariella, who did this to you?" He growled angrily.

"No one," Lie.

"You suck at lying," he said casually before lifting my shirt and looking at the massive cut. His eyes widened at the sight. Fumbling with my hands I yanked my shirt down and zipped my jacket all the way up.

"Ariella..." he said in a soft voice. Reaching over he grabbed my hand and pulled it close to him, almost over his heart as he looked cautiously into my eyes,"Who is doing this to you? This is not an injury of some freak accident. Somebody hurt you." He said like a real mate would. genuine fear on his face. It was almost like it had been like this forever, us, together like this.

"Nate, I had a run in with the counter this morning. I didn't see where I was going and I was holding a knife and well." I trailed off.

"Did I do this?" he mused softly if it wasn't for our superhuman hearing I might not have been able to hear him.

"No!" I cried, "No, you didn't do this," I said quickly.

"So you admit that someone did?" He looked at me expectantly.

At a loss of words I stared at him, not believing he tricked me so easily,"N-No." I looked at the window, "Like I said, I was just clumsy."

Nate turned my head back to face him with two fingers under my chin, "please don't lie," He whispered and leaned forward, softly pressing his lips against mine like he had been itching to do so the entire time we sat in his car. I reluctantly let him kiss me, melting against his lips like I needed his breath on my lips. I could hear his growl from the back of his throat as he pulled away with a hard glare and quickly jumped out of the car, slamming the door closed, walking back to school and leaving me with a stupid expression on my face as I sat in his car alone.

Blinking and trying to reel in what just happened two seconds ago, I slowly got out of the car and closed the door, looking around to see if anyone had watched us I took in a breath, thankful to see that no one had. Or so I thought.

"What a display," Jon laughed. 

Gasping I turned to face him, "How long have you?"

"The whole time princess. How are you supposed to make him jealous if you keep letting him get what he wants?" Jon asked as he looked down at me.

"I don't know. I couldn't help myself." I whispered under my breath. 

He frowned and gave me a side ways glace, "alright but no more, we're going on our first date tonight and I can't have you kissing other men while I'm around," he joked and nudged me.

I smiled as he walked away and shook my head,"Oh dear." I frowned and held my torso as I walked back to the school.
