Alpha Damon's Mate

Chapter 2

As I walked to school the next day, I had the uncomfortable feeling that I was being watched. Oh man. I'm still getting paranoid. Or crazy. Like my mother. I mocked myself, but it aroused no emotion in me.

Basically, I didn't really care. I sighed softly. Then I quickened my steps and a little later I arrived in front of a big, gray building that didn't look very inviting, but what else can you expect from a school?

As the many students chattered and chattered around me, I immediately felt uncomfortable, but luckily for me, no one seemed to notice that I was new here.

The last thing I needed was people who wanted to be friends with me. Did that sound nasty? Probably yes, but I didn't really care. Then I was just mean. Who should care?

Apart from Wilhelmine, there was no one who liked me so much that my behavior would offend them. And there never will be! It crossed my mind.

I took a deep breath, then entered the building only to slam into a hard chest.

Was that my new hobby now, or what? I quickly took a step back and eyed the person. Blonde, tall and a million dollar smile.

"Sorry," I murmured, trying to push past him when a growl sounded behind me. And somehow it felt damn familiar.

I slowly turned around and unfortunately my suspicion was confirmed. "Damon" I hissed softly.

He beamed when he saw me, but then his gaze slid to Blondie and his face darkened. "What did you do to Jake?" he growled at me.

I drew my eyebrows together. And once again I forgot to speak English and angrily babbled at him in German. "Well, first of all, is that none of your business, you Spako? OK? And two... what the hell are you doing here? are you following me? Besides, I'm not accountable to you."

Damon, on the other hand, suddenly gave me a soft smile. "I already love your temper." His face darkened again. "Jake, do you realize you just touched MY MATE?" he yelled.

'Jake' winced. Pure fear crept into his face. "I-I'm sorry... It was a mistake." Damon gave him a menacing look !" he just hissed the last sentence.

I cleared my throat. "Hi, I'm still here! And who are you talking about?" I was kind of intrigued as I had the odd feeling he meant me. Damon pushed Jake aside and walked toward me.

"My little... Tell me, what's your name?" I smiled at him in a playful, friendly way. "My name is: It's none of your business, you weakling."

As I was about to turn to hiss off, I was pulled back. And slammed against a hard chest. Logical. How could it be otherwise, that was my new hobby.

All of a sudden, a light kiss landed on my cheek and Damon pulled me into his arms. "I'll never let go of you again," he murmured to himself. What a joke.

"Damon, here you are, I've been looking for you! And… WHO THE HELL IS THAT?” A woman's voice cut in. Damon immediately turned away from me. “Oh, Laeta” And with that he pulled her into his arms.

Unfortunately, I couldn't deny that it gave me a sting, but I was too proud to admit it. So I just turned and walked to the classroom.

"Now wait my beauty" Damon yelled, but I ignored him. That's what you get, you asshole! Besides! What was he thinking of calling me 'his beauty'?

One thing was certain. There was something wrong with the guy, but as long as he left me alone I didn't give a damn.

♧

During the break I sat down alone on a bench and pulled out my little diary.

A couple of girls tried to persuade me to spend the break with them, but I politely declined. At least more or less.

Now I wrote neatly in the little book what had happened yesterday and today, because even though I kept telling myself that I didn't care a bit, I needed that to somehow process it.

"Hey Elise! Don't you really want to sit down and spend the break with us..." A brown-haired girl called out to me, but was immediately interrupted by someone.

Before that person said anything, I weightily adjusted my glasses on my nose and turned to my journal. Most of the time I wore contact lenses, glasses were just annoying.

"She's already spending the break with me!" A sigh escaped me. Why the hell was this guy obsessed with me? I wasn't good looking and hadn't given him any signs of interest.

Annoyed, I stared even more at my diary. I certainly wouldn't look into Damon's beautiful eyes right now... And wait! Did I really just think that?

"So Elisa? The name suits you. He's almost as beautiful as you" someone rasped in my ear and I couldn't help but shudder.

Someone grabbed my hand. I assumed it was Damon and was about to pull her away when he tightened his grip on her. Like he's scared of losing me...

There was a loud whisper all around us and Damon laid his head on mine. "I missed you so much" he whispered into my hair and pulled me into a hug.

"You just pissed me off this morning. How, can you miss me there?" "Every second without you is torture for me"

His lips were now very close to my ear and I felt the hot air he exhaled very clearly. A tingling spread over my body and apparently he noticed that too, because he growled softly. I slowly started to like the hug.

stop stop! That's wrong. You hardly know this guy! My subconscious rebuked me.

Actually not at all! I countered internally and had to giggle softly. "Do that again!" I frowned. "What?"

He pushed me a bit away from him to look deep into my eyes. Oh s**t. I'm about to melt!

"Laugh again! For me" He looked at me hopefully. Stupidly, I turned bright red. He just couldn't say such a saying!

"You're wonderful," he mumbled softly and I shuddered again. "Pull yourself together, Elise," I whispered to myself in German. He couldn't understand that anyway.

"Would you like to come to my place this afternoon?" he asked. Well, that's really enough for me now. I was a very tolerant person, but that really went too far.

What did he think of me? That I was a girl for a night? But then he cut himself.

I glared at him angrily, then pulled away. "You're the worst of it and I'm ashamed that I thought for a second that you might actually like me. I'm not usually that naïve and I certainly won't be again. You're a damn spat!"

At that moment I didn't care that I yelled at him in German and that he didn't understand me anyway. He should have known by now that I was angry. I got up and roared majestically away. At least that was the plan, because I tripped and fell headlong.

Great! I was not even granted a worthy exit.

"Elisa? Are you doing well? Listen, I'm sorry if that sounded wrong just now. I just want to get to know you Really!" My knees were burning and I didn't even pay attention to what Damon was saying until he suddenly picked me up and carried me to the bench.

He pressed a light kiss on my head. "Let go of me!" I hissed, but he sat down, freezing, and pulled me onto his lap. I wanted to fight back and get up... Too bad it felt damn good sitting with him like that.

"Hey, is that your mate? Congratulations Damon." Someone laughed and Damon's chest also vibrated slightly. Suddenly a hell of a lot of people joined us. I narrowed my eyes.

"You damn weaklings! And you! You'll let me go right now." I yelled in my native tongue. I didn't have to let the whole school know how friendly I was.

Kicking my legs, I managed to tear myself away from Damon. Too bad actually. It was quite nice on his lap. Then why didn't you stay seated?

I narrowed my eyes angrily. Oh lick me! In order to be able to let my aggression run free, I rushed past the bewildered young people.

The break was over now anyway and I could go to class. Wow. The fact that I can be happy about it is also something new. I sighed. A strange longing grew in me. A longing for Damon. Should I really give him a chance and get to know him?

My heart said 'yes' my mind wanted something else. Someone sat down next to me. "But you showed him. How you made a piebald of my brother... I'll never forget that." I looked to my right. A pretty, wide-eyed, black-haired girl had flopped down next to me.

And to be honest, she looked likeable. "And you are?" I said, but still a bit grumpy. I wasn't that good with people. "Me? I'm Selina, but you can call me Lina."

Oh definitely not. "But I have to ask you! give my brother a chance He really cares about you, I know that because I know him." I just nodded.

"Tell him I'll wait for him after school!" Two seconds later I already regretted that sentence. How did I get such crazy ideas? Selina next to me was definitely grinning.

♧

When I waited outside after school, there was no one around and I had a bad feeling that maybe Damon had dumped me.

"Elise!" a voice called out. I spun around and almost started drooling. Damon looked so damn good and hot...

His hair was slightly tousled and he wore - unfortunately - sunglasses which prevented me from seeing his beautiful blue eyes. Also a leather jacket under which he wore a white t-shirt that showed off his muscles well.

How the hell hadn't I noticed that during the break and this morning? He casually strolled towards me and my telltale little heart immediately started beating faster.

He pulled off the sunglasses and I felt like everything was moving in slow motion. I was completely mesmerized by his blue eyes and I was completely unable to move.
