The Badass and the Alpha

Chapter Four

                How did I get in this situation? Well...Satan knows better, he's the one singing in my ear to continue with my b***h ass attitude, but I was also asking for it from the beginning.

                " Give her some space Evan." said Ares rather calm.

                So he's the jerk that pinned me on my car. Note to self: take the bike next time.

                The steel grip that was on me disappeared and I was free again. I turned around, dusting my cloths that sticked to me and my car. I was infuriated. If anyone was going to get close to me, he'll be dead in seconds.

                " Now... I told you things will go south if you don't present yourself sharp when I ask."

                " Oh! Go stick it somewhere!" I said full of venom and through gritted teeth.

                " I'd wish to, but you see, it's kind of hard to reach that place."

                " If you needed help and you had no idea how to put it, you should've just ask. I'll be pleased to shove it up your ass."

                " Oh, princess, I don't think you are in the position to talk."

                His guys moved pass him and started circling me. If I didn't know better, I would say they are preparing to attack when it will come to it.

                But did I do anything to change my faith. Hell no! I kept defying the so called Alpha and ignore his pack making circles around us.

                " Listen here mutt! I don't have time to talk s**t with you about me being a w***e. I suggest you suck it up and accept that there is a new Badass in town. Oh, and I suggest you start playing nice too."

                Did he move? No. Did the guys move? Hell no!

                " Mutt? I suggest you start showing some respect to your Alpha." he said getting closer to me, " or I'll kill that human of yours."

                " There are so many things wrong with that sentence, I don't even know where to start." I said puffing my nose, " You. Are. Not. My. Alpha!" I started moving closer to him, " I will never show respect to a coward that left mid confrontation!" I said jabbing my index finger in his hard muscles, " and if you dare to lay a finger on my side buddy, James, I swear to everything that I own, that I will make sure you won't be living to take the next breath." I said getting even closer and throwing daggers with my eyes.

                Yet all he did, was look at his buddies. I dared to look back and found them all behind me. In that moment, if any of them dared to move an inch, they would be dead.

                " I don't get it. Why do you take a human's side. He's just a sapiens, nothing that interesting about him."

                " Sapiens or not, if you lay a finger on him, hell... if you so dare to sneeze in his way, you are dead, mutt."

                His friend, Evan, decided to move from behind me while I was having a conversation with Ares. I don't think he read my posture, otherwise he wouldn't be that stupid to actually come after me.

                His body moved from my right and my fist jerked from beside me without warning, making contact with his jaw sending him down to the ground.

                That's a broken jaw. Nice...SHIT! And a broken hand...FUCK! It hurts like a b***h!

                So I broke a jaw and my hand. Great!

                I turned around to look at the others, keeping my fist clenched ignoring the pain and said, " So...Who's next?"

                They all looked at Ares who was looking as confused as the others. I turned to look at him and couldn't stop myself from saying, " How about you Wilder?"

                " I'm not gonna fight a human like you, especially a girl."

                " Oh... come on! I was just starting to have fun!"

                Or break every bone in my body....

                They didn't move. They wouldn't move if Ares wouldn't say so. They just continued staying behind me, closing every exist I could have.

                " You listen to me and listen closely." he said grabbing my chin.

                " Uhhh... I'm scared..." I said sarcastically, jerking my head out of his grip.

                " If you don't start with some respect and some ground rules, I'll have no other choice than send you back from where you came from."

                " You mean home... Great long ass analogy for it."

                " I meant ground."

                " Uh! We have a religious one here guys!" I said pointing fingers to him, " Tell me, do you pray before you eat or just before going to bed and in the morning. Does mommy make you put your Sunday cloths and go to church and sing with God?" I said the last part in a childish voice. I know, very mature of me...

                Hold on! Are the guys behind me laughing? What the... I turn around to look at them and yeah... they are laughing. I guess I corrupted his friends. I'm surprised. This is one damn thing I didn't expect to come out of this.

                " I see they approve." I return to Ares and see that he is close to ripping my head off. Meanwhile, Evan decided to wake up from his beauty sleep, " Morning beautiful. How did you sleep?"

                " Hey! Can you move your jaw?" said Ares looking at him. Evan was holding his jaw, moving it sideways. I bet he can't move it. That was a million dollar right hook. If I broke something, he must have too.

                " Oh he'll be fine." I said dodging Ares away.

                When I attempted to turn around and move, I was pinned with my front on my car's hood, again.

                " This repetitive thing is getting kind of annoying, don't you think. I say you let me go before you get in way over your head. Hmmm, what do you say?" I try to get him off of me.

                " I don't know, will you give up following us around?"

                " Following you?" I said half chocking, " You are the one with a gun in my back or, oh wait, you are just glad to be on top of me."

                He was taken aback, just enough for me to turn around and kick him between his legs. The way too familiar grown was heard and he collapsed on top of me.

                I tried to push him around, but I had to do much more if I wanted to escape his friends alive too. 

                As there was no other way around the car, I jumped on the hood thinking that my dad will kill me if he sees it scratched, good thing he wasn't home that much, and run to the other side of the car. I opened the passenger door and hopped in, locking the doors, making sure they are closed this time, and jumped in the driver's seat. The engine was already on from the moment I was in, before the whole gang was up my ass. I pulled the seat belt across my chest and reversed from the parking lot. 

                When I looked in the rear mirror to see if I'm followed, I saw just the school. The moment was still playing in my head, the fighting, Ares pissed off, the guys circling me, everything. 

                I see a red light and unfortunately I have to stop. The pain in my fist makes itself aware and I make a mental note to put ice on it once I get home.

                I was so cough up in my thoughts that I didn't see the black SUV pulling next to me, full of familiar faces. 

                I was looking at the red light, wishing to turn green, when my back window is smashed. I look behind me and see the other window making contact with a baseball bat just as the lights turn green.

                I can't go home, they will follow me there and find where I live. Easy target. Plus, I'm not a coward to run home and in this moment I'm more scared of my parents than them.

                I stop the engine and get down of the car really pissed off. I'm ready to bash some skulls if I have to.

                I get to the SUV and bang my fist in the window. Meanwhile, the two maniacs that broke my windows came near me and I throw them a death glare.

                " ARES WILDER! GET THE f**k OUT OF THE CAR! LETS FINISH THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!" I scream at him while banging my fist on the window.

                He gets down from the back of the car and goes around the car to get me. By the way that he is walking, I guess I broke a few nuts.

                " That was a brand new car i***t!" I screamed pissed at him, " You better start writing a check for it because you are going to f*****g pay, you hear me?!"

                " I agree, we took it a little too far this time. Let me take it from here. Where do you live, I'll take you home and bring the car to a mechanic to change the windows.

                " Oh no, no, no, no, no! You will take me home when I'm dead!"

                " That can be solved" said the guy from my right.

                All I could see was red before my eyes. I latched at him with a right hook, but he dodged it, but bad move my friend, my left fist was prepared and hit from under, delivering another knock out, this time, without me breaking my hand.

                " I think you should start controlling your friends or they'll all end up in the hospital."

                " Jack, take Michael in the car. Tell the others to stay in and don't come between us."

                " Yes sir." he nodded his head and collected a livid Michael from the curb, carrying him to the car.

                " What do you plan to do, beat me up for knocking two of your friends unconscious and leaving you without any legacy?" in this moment, he didn't scare me anymore. All he did was annoy me and he witnessed first hand what I do when I'm annoyed.

                " No. I will write you a check for the car and leave. I don't want to get in any trouble." he said as if nothing happened a few moments ago. He took out a pen and a check book, wrote something on it and gave it to me, " Do you think it will be enough?" he asked without a single emotion on his face.

                " Enough for the windows and gas, yes. Thank you." I said taking it from his stretched hand and taking another look at his face. Why was he acting so calm? He looked like ripping me apart a few moment ago and now he is paying for the damaged done.

                " What did you say?" he looked at me suspicious.

                " I said 'thank you'. You know, you use it when someone does something nice for you or gives you something, they are also called manners, something you are clearly missing." I said hoping he'll get it.

                " I know, but why are you nice to me after what I did."

                " Because you are paying for it, idiot." and with that sentence, I got back in the car, leaving.

                I got home in time, all they way checking for the SUV in case they were following. I parked the car in the garage hoping my mom was already home and she won't see it.

                I got inside, greeted Roxy, my pitbull, with a treat and went on the couch to look for a mechanic. Roxy hopped on the couch while I was on my phone, knowing that something happened.

                God, I love dogs.

                I stopped searching and turned to rub her head when my throbbing hand appears before me.

                s**t! I need ice!

                I get up, dialing the phone number of a shop I found on the internet and putting the phone at my ear, holding it with my shoulder. Roxy followed me to the kitchen and watched my every move.

                " Earl's Mechanic Shop. What can I do for you?"

                " Hello! I was wondering how much time do you need to change two broken windows from a 2018 Rover Velar model?"

                " The windows can be changed in a day, but the tests and everything take another day or so. I would say two to three days."

                " I'll take it. When can I bring it?"

                " Give us the address and we will be there with a truck in no time. Do you want a spare car for transport?"

                " No, thanks! I have my motor."

                I gave him the address and my name, put a pack of ice on my hand and took Roxy with me in the car to take it out of the garage. I waited for Earl's men to come and pick the car up and give them the check.

                When they finally arrived, one of the man came to me asking, " Wow... what happened to it."

                " First day of school gift. I did some damage." I said and lifted my hand with the pack of ice up.

                " Damn, you need to get that checked up." he said taking my hand in his for a look. Roxy that was next to me didn't like it for sure because she started growling.

                " Nice pitbull you have there. Very protective I see."

                " Yeah and if she says that I am fine than I am fine. And if she starts growling than you need to leave." I said taking my hand from him and turning to leave. " If I see any damage on it, it's on you guys." I said not turning to look at them.

                I got back inside and went straight for my room. Roxy as always, follows me everywhere, making sure that I am safe. I plop myself on the bed and think about today.

                Why did Wilder act so calm when we were outside? He could have taken me easily, without even blinking. Yet, he was calm.

                I turned on one side, patting the place for Roxy to come next to me and than it hit me. He acted calm because he was outside school! He could have gotten in trouble there! Whereas in school, no one cared so much! Damn it! I lost another fight. Or did I?

                 It didn't matter anymore as I knew for sure that tomorrow was my funeral. All of the knock-outs were going to be up my ass and Wilder won't let me go that easily.

                I could skip, but that would mean that I'm a coward. I could go and kick some ass, but that would result with me being expelled. 

                I would rather take the expulsion slip than the coward title.

                I'm going down as a Badass if I have to.
