The Alpha prince and his half blood mate

Chapter 4

OLIVIA'S POINT OF VIEW

The next morning I woke up with a smile on my face as I remembered the events of last night. I don't know what it was about Angelo but I just felt drawn to him.

I cleared my thoughts and stood up to go take a shower. I got dressed in a black turtleneck over black ripped jeans and black boots. I wore a blue jacket over my outfit and left my hair flowing freely down my back.

I wore some mascara, eyeliner and my favorite cherry lipgloss and went downstairs. “Good morning grandma, good morning grandpa", I greeted as I kissed each of their cheeks.

“Good morning Liv", they responded. I grabbed the plate of pancakes that my grandma had made for breakfast and sat down quietly to eat. “When are Lila and Andrew gonna be here?" my grandma asked. “Oh they're not coming. I'll be riding to school with the neighbors".

“Oh", she replied, “okay then". When I was done, I kissed my grandparents goodbye. “Are you coming to the shop today after school?" my grandpa asked. “Not today grandpa. Me, Lila and Andrew are giving Angelo and Antonio a tour of Willowswoods".

“Okay then. Have fun". “Thanks Gramps. Will do", I said as I left the house. “She better bring him on a tour to the shop", I heard my grandpa mutter to himself causing me to laugh.

You're probably wondering how I could hear him mutter to himself since I had left the house. The thing is, I've always had super hearing. It's this super power I've had since I was a kid, along with incredible vision and great reflexes. It's part of what makes me a great athlete.

I walked up to the neighbors house but just as I was about to ring the doorbell, the door opened revealing my two new gorgeous classmates. I instantly felt at ease at seeing Angelo which is weird because I didn't even know that I was uneasy. I resisted the urge to throw myself in his arms.

“Good morning guys", I greeted looking at Angelo. He looked incredible dressed in his blue turtleneck over blue jeans and blue sneakers. He had on a black leather jacket over his shirt. He chuckled as he saw me. That has got to be the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.

“What's so funny?" I asked. “We match well kinda the opposite really", he replied in his usual sexy voice. He always spoke with good grammar and perfect pronunciation but he made every word that came out of his mouth sound so provocative.

I shook my head to remove it from the pits of the gutters it had fallen into and actually realized that he was right. I was dressed in all black with a touch of blue and he was dressed in all blue with a touch of black. How...nice.

Someone cleared their throat and we both broke out of our bubble to notice Antonio with a raised eyebrow. “Good morning to you too Liv. It's so nice that you remembered that I was here", he said sounding salty.

“You"re just a ray of sunshine aren't you Antonio?" I teased. “Yeah yeah. Let's just get going already. You can have shotgun". Then he opened the door to the backseat and got in.

Angelo and I shared a look and then he opened my door for me like the perfect gentleman that I'm sure he is. “Milady", he said as he opened it. “Thanks kind sir", I replied as we both shared a laugh and he went to his side of the car.

During the car ride, we once again forgot about Antonio's presence as me and Angelo kept talking about everything and nothing at the same time. It's really weird but I've never been more comfortable with anyone than I've been with Angelo.

We arrived at school and after he made me promise to save him a seat at lunch and during last period and after Antonio reminding me to do same for him, I finally, reluctantly left the car.

I went to find Lila and Andrew who luckily for me just arrived. I went to meet them. “Hey guys", I greeted hugging them both. “Hey Livvy", they greeted back. “How was the car ride with Angelo", Lila asked with a teasing smile wiggling her eyebrows at me.

For some reason that made me blush. “Antonio was in the car too you know", I replied feebly, “and the car ride was fine. I didn't have to endure being a third wheel with you guys". I smirked at a Lila who feigned a shocked look.

“I have no idea what you're talking about and besides I imagine poor Antonio was the third wheel here", she said as we were walking side by side in the hallway.

“Andrew tell Lila that she knows we're not talking about Antonio", I said turning to him. I knew he wasn't really gonna take my side over Lila's—he clearly loved her— but I enjoyed putting him on the spot. Sometimes I look at my best friends and wonder if I'm ever gonna find a love as pure as theirs.

Speaking of boyfriends, I caught sight of mine and I was instantly filled with anger. Just as Andrew was about to reply, I stormed off in Damien's direction. He was among his friends and they were laughing about something but I could care less.

I grabbed him by the collar of his stupid varsity jacket and pulled him in my direction. How I was able to pull a boy of his height and weight is beyond me but at least I did it. “What are you doing Liv?" he asked removing my hands from his jacket.

“You are such a jackass Damien. You were supposed to call me yesterday but you didn't. I called you multiple times but you never answered. I left you multiple texts and messages but you never replied them. So let's talk about what's wrong with you".

I was basically yelling in the middle of the hallway at this point but I didn't care. He scoffed, “I was busy", he said. I swear if this was a cartoon, I'd be red right now with steam coming out of my ears.

“Too busy to call your girlfriend back or to reply any of her texts!!" I made sure to emphasize the word girlfriend. “Look Liv, you're causing a scene", he said. “I don't care", I replied.

“Well I do", he said, “we'll talk about this later". Then he brushed against me leaving me standing shocked and angry and if I'm being honest, a little bit hurt.

I looked to see everyone staring. “What are you all looking at?" I yelled causing them all to quickly pretend to look away. I stormed off ignoring calls from Lila and Andrew and went outside.

I went to sit on a bench in a corner to try to cool off. A while later I felt someone else sit beside me. I didn't even have to look up to know who it was. I recognized the musky scent of woods and spice that followed him everywhere.

“How did you know I'd be here?" I asked him without looking up. He shrugged. I don't know how I knew but I knew he shrugged. “I guess I just knew. Are you okay Luna?" he asked me.

I completely ignored the fact that he once again called me the moon and stood up to pace in anger. “No I'm not okay. Damien just... ugh he infuriates me. We don't see each other the whole of the summer and then he just blows me off the first day that we do".

I went off on a rant that eventually began to sound incoherent even to my own ears. I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me and I instantly relaxed. I dunno why but I started crying. “He just puts everyone and everything else before me. Just once I'd like to be his number one priority", I sobbed.

“Hey hey shush. It's okay piccola. I'm here", he kept whispering over and over as he held me. He also kept on whispering sweet nothings to me in Italian and it worked. I started to feel myself getting calmer but I didn't wanna leave the comfort of his arms and his comforting scent that enveloped me so I stayed there nestled against him.

“Why are you with him if he makes you so upset?" he finally asked me. I sighed and reluctantly came out of his embrace to look at him. “Because Damien wasn't always like this. Once upon a time, he was actually a great boyfriend but then he joined the basketball team and starting hanging out with the guys there and he became a whole new person. I guess I just hope he'll change back to the person I fell in love with".

I felt him stiffen as I said that and once again I saw him clench and unclench his fist. I don't know why but I went back to him, placing my head on his chest and wrapping my arms around him.

His hands encircled me immediately and I could feel us both getting calmer. In a weird way, it was almost like we needed each other. After what felt like a second but was probably an eternity, we pulled back from the embrace.

“Thanks for being here Angelo", I said, “I didn't know I needed you till you showed up". “Anytime Luna. I'm here to serve". “Okay we've gotta talk about these Italian names you keep calling me".

He laughed it off. I noticed he didn't respond to that but I decided not to push it. The bell rang then. For a moment, I had forgotten that we were in school. “We're already late anyway but aren't you going to class?" he asked me.

“Nah", I replied taking a seat on the bench and pulling out my phone. “I'm not in the mood for class. I'm cutting first period". “Wow, what a bad girl", he teased.

“Since I obviously can't let you be the bad girl alone. I'm joining you. We're the bad guys", he said taking a seat beside me. I smiled gratefully because I really hoped he'd say that.

I so desperately wanted to be alone with him and only him right now. “Hey you never did give me your phone number", he said. “Oh well it's 555-***..."
