Alpha Leon’s Secret

CHAPTER 2

[MARKED]

Ariel’s Pov

Why was Ryan Reeds in the Janitors Closet staring at me ? I was half naked and he’s eyes were blazing yellow. My heart beat increased and my breathing became more difficult to control.

What is this feeling? Why did I want to taste his lips yet I felt the need to cower because of the strong aura he is emitting. Alpha energy is nothing to joke with but damn I wanted him.

He took one long stride and soon we were alone in the closet. We were inches away from each other. His scent made me swoon and my knees weak.

“Ryan….”Alpha..Ryan, what is this about? I manage to utter. The closet was dark, making his eyes even brighter. He reached out to touch my face, my body tingled immediately.

I closed my eyes, expecting a kiss…

“You and I can never be mates, Ariel, I reject you..

My eyes swung open, a sharp pain shooting through my chest, my heart felt like it was being stabbed with a thousand knives at the same time.

Ryan was my mate, and he had rejected me on the first day, right inside this stuffy closet.He opened the door and walked out, leaving me in my underwear, dejected as always.

I always imagined what meeting my mate would be like. It should have been the end of my struggles. I’d move out of that hell hole of a house, live a better life.

I never expected to be mated to an Alpha, let Alone Ryan. My chest hurt more as I remembered his harsh words. The bell rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I pulled my jeans on and got ready for class. It will be one hell of an embarrassing day.

I stepped into class just before the teacher walked in. I walk to my seat to find piles of waste scattered around the seat, scrapped papers and peels of bananas.

I brushed all of it off as quickly as I could and all they did was giggle and say mean words. “Suck it up “ I keep repeating this to myself

I’m focusing on the ongoing lesson, I hit bottom in class last semester, with everything going on with me, I hardly get time to study. This year I want first place no matter what.

I feel the paper land on my head, I turn around and meet Riley’s evil grin. I roll my eyes at her. I take enough of her bullshit at home and now I have to deal with her here.

She’s a slut, throws herself at every guy on the football team and acts like a saint at home. I see her swinging the keys to the Mercedes. What a cunt.

Another piece of paper lands on my face, barely missing my eyes. I ignore it but it happens three more times.

“That’s it, I’m done”! I yell out, I turn around and head straight for Riley. I can see her smirk at me. I’m enraged. Thwack! I smack her across the face.

Her eyes grow wide in shock, she screams and falls to the ground. Wailing and crying.

“Principal's office, Now”…..

It’s my birthday, and all I’ve gotten is trouble, no one even remembers, not even dad…Mr Thomas I mean. I wish mum were here.

“Detention it is for you Ariel, and you’re fired!”

Classes are over, Riley walks up to me, her jet black hair tied into a messy bun. She is dressed in a plaid mini skirt and white knee length boots. She pairs the look with the schools white shirt but obviously misses out on the actual way to wear it written in the rule book.

“Thought you might need a little something to keep you alive in detention”, she says with that ugly smirk on her face. She takes out a half eaten sandwich and a rotting apple.

“We aren’t home now b***h, I could rip that smirk off your face if I wanted to”, “ouuu someone’s fiesty today, considering your wolf abilities are as bad as your grades and life in general l, I doubt there’s anything you could do to me Ariel love”

She was right, since the alleged accident, my wolf abilities have been as good as gone. I have also been on medication since then. At first I never bothered about the pills, until I noticed Mr Thomas never let me miss a day. Soon I discovered they they were not ordinary pills, Wolfbane. If I didn’t take it, I’d be beaten to pulp and left to sleep outside.

Her words stung and she knew it did. I hadn’t eaten all day, and I was too ashamed to go to the cafeteria. That half sandwich would do a little good. I stood my ground,showing no emotions. One thing I had learned from all the maltreatment was how to keep my face blank and emotionless.

“Bye little b***h”, she walked off swinging the car keys so I could see her victory. I hate her so much.

I had just gotten to my seat in detention. That sandwich? Yes I took it, it’s either this or I starve to death on my birthday. It’s just me in detention today. I place an imaginary candle on the sandwich and I make a wish. I blow out my candle and munch down.

I spit it out immediately. It’s gone bad. I hate her, I hate her so much. My stomach grumbles loud enough to wake a sleeping lion. I put my head on the table and sigh. Then that scent…Cedar and Pines, why do I smell it here?…

I looked up and there he was, Ryan.. the last thing I wanted was to see him again. He rejected me even before I could come to terms with being his mate. Just like everyone else in my life, I was useless. I dreamt of being swept away to safety and security by my mate, only to be rejected on day one. But why is he walking towards me like that ? Eyes blazing bright yellow, like he is about to devour a prey.

Panic surged in me immediately. I got up from my seat, not knowing if I should show respect or run. Run.. I chose to run..with one swift movement he caught up to me. He held me by the wrist and that touch alone was enough to send shivers down my spine.

I flinched as his grip tightened and it began to hurt. “Ryan please let go ,you’re hurting me”. “Shut it little wolf” my lips are sealed immediately. How do I hate him so much yet want more of his touch.

He spun me around, pushing me towards the board. My face hit the board and I tasted blood. I sucked on my lip to stop the bleeding.. He was behind me, his hands grabbing my boobs. I've never known this feeling before, why is everywhere so hot, this feels good, too good..

He ran his hands down my body, pressing me more into the board. He is 6ft tall, built like a rock with beautiful black hair. Unlike me, petite and frail, I stood no chance.

My knees buckled as he slipped his hands down my pants, he slipped in a finger and I gasped in pain and pleasure. I’m not ready, at least not like this. “Ryan please stop!” He didn’t budge.

He pulled my pants down easily… How come there’s no teacher in this detention room ? Why is it just us ? Tears begin to roll down my face. I wanted him, but not like this. I wanted his love, his heart, not this.

I made a final attempt to push him away and I succeeded, running towards the door, he caught up in a split second. I screamed in pain as he immediately sunk his teeth into my shoulder. His free hand slipping my underwear to the side. His breath was hot and heavy behind my ears, licking my neck and sending chills down me.

He slipped into me easily. I had no fight left in me. I closed my eyes as tears welled down my face. He growled as he finished in me. Taking his teeth out right after.

I sunk down to the floor, holding my knees to my chest. He didn’t look back, he left me...

On my birthday, right in detention, I lost my virginity to Ryan Reeds and now officially Marked.
