I turned around and bolted out of the door and into the hallways of the campus, my eyes frantically searching around for any sign of my boyfriend and the b***h.
Not looking where I was going, I bumped into Mary.
"Ow." We both said at the same time.
I didn't even need to ask her the question that plagued my mind as she responded swiftly.
"Um, I'm not too sure Riri, but I think I just saw your boyfriend with that new hot chick." Mary told me.
"Ugh She's not hot Mary!" I screamed which seemed to attract a few stares in our direction, but at this point, I didn't even give two shits.
"Okay okay, but I think I just saw your boyfriend with some new not hot chick." She corrected.
Ughhhh, I groaned again, I wasn't doing this with Mary now.
"Where?"I asked.
"Well, I saw them headed in the direction of the gym I guess." Mary replied
Angrily stomping my way to the gym, nobody stood in my way as they noticed my anger.
Moving through the series of halls and corners, I finally got to the gym.
I opened the door, allowing my eyes to scan around the gym, but I didn't see anybody there.
Well s**t I thought, if they weren't here then it was going to be hard to find them since the university was big.
As I turned around about to leave, I began to make out hushed whispers, coming from the direction of the small closet door in the gym.
Honestly, I didn't know how I heard it, but I just did.
My heart beat widely in my chest as I made my way closer, I began to make out the voices.
"She's not safe here and you know it. Those bastards are making their move. It's especially dangerous at this point." I could make out the faint but unmistakeable voice of my new worst enemy, the b***h Shelly.
Still I was confused, why was I not safe with Brydon.
"She dosen't know anything Shelly, she could still stay with me without getting hurt." He said.
Shelly growled." I will not allow that disgusting human into my pack."
I was confused, this growling thing shouldn't be possible, so why had Shelly been growling throughout today.
"That's not up to you,"Brydon spat back
I continued moving till I made my way to the door eavesdropping. I pushed open the door slightly, they were so engrossed in their argument that they didn't even notice me at the door.
And what the f**k was even a pack.
"Fine, you could bring her but you yourself know that's not possible. She'll be dragged into this and when anything happens, it'll be your fault." Shelly countered him again.
All of a sudden, her serious voice was replaced by one that was much sweet and sultry.
And besides, don't you prefer my touches instead. From the slight opening in the door I had made, i could see her push herself closer to Brydon, pressing her voluptuous breasts against his chest.
S s helly please, Brydon released a hitched breath.
You know we c cann't
Don't you still want me? We could do a lot of things, no one has to know, just like old times, she said as her hand began to move down towards Brydons crotch, she began to gently rub him there.
"I'm sorry Shelly, that was a long time ago. Things have changed now." Brydon said as he moved back a bit pushing Shelly away.
Even though I was happy Brydon had rejected such a girl because of me, I felt my heart constrict in my chest at his words, now knowing my boyfriend had f****d that b***h of a girl.
Shelly looked angry but she continued nonetheless, "Please Brydon, just a quick one.", she began struggling with his belt. No one has to know.
Okay, that was it now. All I saw was red. Who the hell did this b***h think she was?
I rushed and opened the door, pushing her off Brydon in the closet.
"Riri don't!" Brydon tried to warn me but I had already done it.
I gave her a dirty slap across the face, the b***h deserved it.
"Ahh" Shelly shrieked and I was satisfied with the sound that came out of her.
She turned to me and I could have sworn her eyes flickered from deep blue to red. But just before I could confirm, Brydon stood protectively in front of me, completely blocking my view of her.
Please Shelly, don't hurt her! He said and I was shocked.
The Brydon I knew had never for once begged in his entire life, he was a man who held a lot of pride and him sucking up to this female who looked smaller than him made no sense at all. Just what exactly was going on.
"Stand aside Beta! She slapped me" Shelly growled, and this time i was sure I didn't imagine it, excuse me but who the hell growls like an animal in the 21st century.
And just like that, Brydon started to move aside slowly, he bared his neck in submission and I was wondering what the f**k was going on.
"Get out Brydon." She commanded.
I stared at my boyfriend as he gave me a defeated look before walking out the door.
I was in shock as he walked away from me.
"Please, don't hurt her, I heard him say."
"Maybe I won't if you actually obey my commands." Shelly said, an evil smirk playing on her lips.
Shelly looked at me and I must have imagined her eyes had changed colour, because she still had her dark blue iris now.
All of a sudden, I felt something. Something roll off her body onto me.
I know it sounds crazy but some kind of aura covered my body and I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable. There was no way I was not imagining this, right?
Shelly suddenly had this tone, this command in her voice, that made it impossible to resist.
"Listen b***h. You will leave Brydon alone. Brydon is mine, I don't care if the two of you are mates, so you can go jump in a ditch for all I care."
I felt this sudden compulsion, this immediately need to obey her and surrender myself to all of her wishes.
"Do you understand?" she asked while smirking.
I didn't answer her.
"Do you f*****g understand b***h?" she said again angrily. Now the smirk had disappeared and it was replaced by an angry scowl.
I could hear Brydon banging on the door.
"Please don't hurt her Shelly! Please."He said.
It pissed me off, my boyfriend wasn't even going to try to help me. What the hell was wrong with him?
I felt my head automatically beginning to lower and the last thing I saw on her face was the hideous smirk plastered on her face. It made me filled with disgust.
Then something just snapped, something inside of me. I didn't care anymore. I didn't care about Brydon, I didn't care about Shelly. I didn't care about anything! I just genuinely wanted to wipe off the disgusting smirk on Shelly's face. And then.. It happened.
All of a sudden, the aura seemed to suck into me. Instead of compelling me, it began to comfort me instead, I took in the aura before adding more to it and throwing it back at her, making her bear the full brunt of it. Call me crazy, but that was the only way I could explain it.
"Ahh" she shriked and her eyes widened surprisingly. And in that instance, I saw something akin to fear. For once I was seeing the real Shelly and not the mischievous b***h I knew her to be.
My head that was going to touch the ground slowly began to raise up by itself, and I felt weird but different.
Shelly had shock and fear written all over her face.
I didn't know where the bravado came from but I was now pissed.
I stood back up, looking Shelly dead in the eye, she was now shivering.
"You! You will leave us the f**k alone, Brydon is mine, you hear me?!"
Shelly whimpered like an animal, okay seriously, I was confused. who the hell growls and also whimpers, was she an animal? And in that moment of confusion, the aura surrounding me seemed to disappear completely.
Shelly looked like she had just recovered from an accident.
"F...f...fine, w whatever!" She screamed while quickly hurrying out the door.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
I heard her and Brydon speaking again in hushed tones before the sound of heels was heard in the distance.
Brydon came into the room looking at me all sober. To say I was pissed was an understatement.
I knew Brydon was weird. I mean, I had put up with all that he did, sometimes during s*x, he would immediately pull out and leave me horny, saying he couldn't continue otherwise he would take it too far, othertimes, in the middle of the night, he would suddenly get up and sprint out the door after hearing a howl or the fact that he growled or sniffed my neck some random times, but I had put up with it, hoping that one day he would explain everything to me.
Today was the last of it. I had gone through so much embarrassment for something I had no idea about.
What's going on Brydon? I demanded an explanation.
Brydon only looked at me with sad eyes. I'll explain okay, but you have to say something for me first.
I thought about it. What exactly did I need to say before he explained it to me? I was about to voice out my thoughts when Brydon stopped me.
"Listen okay. Just do it" Brydon urged further.
Repeat after me. I nodded.
"I, Rihanna Simmons, reject you Brydon d**k as my mate."
I chuckled. I had this horrible feeling inside my gut, something told me that those set of words were forbidden to me, but Brydon just continue to looked at me expectantly.
"Do you trust me Rihanna?" He asked, his blue eyes didn't feel like it was staring directly at me, it seemed to be staring intently into my soul.
I shook my head. Whatever this was was very serious, he even called my full name.
"Good, then say those words. You know that all I do, I do for you, right?"
I nodded and he seemed satisfied.
I didn't know what it was, but I immediately let go of all the bad feelings in my gut. If Brydon wanted me to say it, then it couldn't be all that bad, right?
I began with a shaky voice, but Brydon gripping my shoulders tightly, it didn't hurt but it was firm and a bit comforting and I was grateful for it.
"I Rihanna Simmons, reject you Brydon Doe as my mate." There I said it. But immediately I said it, I felt a sharp pain course through me, pushing me down to one knee. I tried steadying myself but I couldn't as I knelt down on the cold hard floor. Brydon immediately brought me back to my feet. All of a sudden, his touch on my shoulders were very cold.
I looked up at him, wondering what exactly was going on, but his face seemed to be distant.
I didn't know exactly what happened, but I knew deep down, I had trusted him and done something extremely stupid that I couldn't take back.
He had manipulated my feelings and made me say something bad.
Brydon looked at me with those regretful eyes.
"I'm sorry Rihanna. I Brydon d**k Dastardly, future Beta of the Crimson Gremlin pack, accept your rejection Rihanna Simmons."
"Ahhhh" I couldn't help the second scream that escaped my mouth.
The pain was something I had never in my life experienced. It felt like something was squeezing tight into my heart and crushing it.
And with that I felt my world go black. Before I did, I could have sworn I saw, Brydon morph into something.
But I must have been hallucinating, I didn't know what it was that happened but all I knew, was that deep down, it was over between me and Brydon.
