The Alphas Snow wolf

Chapter 8: Battle of love and bands.

~Winter's Pov~

I woke up feeling pain in my arms and legs as I cried in pain. I gasped for air as the pain grew. I slowly relaxed as I felt warm arms wrapped around me and looked as two hands took mine. I heard humming, then fell back onto a hard surface as I controlled my breath. It felt warm but cold at the same time. I felt my pain slowly fade, and I looked over my shoulder to see Jameson's face with his hair in a heap of messy and disheveled curls. I smiled, looking at his gray and black eyes. He kissed me softly as I looked into his eyes, then relaxed more. I knew he was using his powers to calm me down. I'm usually against it, but they always made me feel calm when I was at my worst and today was one of those days.

Jameson smiled as he saw I had relaxed, then mouthed 'it's ok' to me. I looked as his eyes clouded over. Shortly after his eyes went normal, Midnight and Melody walked into the room. They froze seeing me and Jameson.

Midnight: "Oops sorry"

Melody: "Are yall a thing now?"

Jameson: "Stop, it's not like that."

Melody: "Don't you love her though?"

Midnight: "If it's not what it looks like considering she's wearing your hoodie, and you're shirtless, what is it then?"

Jameson: "Nothing just f*****g work your magic so that we can get ready for school today Is that battle of the bands thing and Winter is performing."

I smiled, looking at Jameson, and blushed. No, we didn't sleep together like s*x, but he did let me sleep in his room and hoodie last night. I smiled and lay my head on his shoulder as Melody and Midnight tended to my wounds and numbed the pain. I smiled and slowly got up after they finished. Jameson looked, making sure I wouldn't fall. He smiled, then got up and went to his bathroom to shower. I smiled, then slowly made my way to my bathroom, which was in my room, and washed up. I looked at the bandages on my side and my arms. I looked at my wrapped leg and then sighed. They were going to leave permanent marks. I looked up in the mirror and then fell back, seeing the image of an angry Tony and Tyson wrapping their claws around my neck. I turned and looked, seeing no one.

Midnight walked in and looked at me. She ran over and hugged me tight, rocking me back and forth as I cried some. She ran her finger through my hair and then examined the faded bruise on my neck. She sighed softly, then put my choker on me and put foundation on that the ribbon choker couldn't cover. I smiled, looking at her, and nodded, letting her know I was OK. She helped me to my bed and went to my closet, pulling out a red pleated skirt and a white zip-up crop top that had black quarter sleeves and a cut-out heart on the chest.

She smiled and handed me the clothes. I smiled at the outfit, then hugged her. She hugged me back and then sat on my bed.

Midnight: "How are you feeling sweetie?"

Me: "Scared, weak, kinda pathetic, I no longer feel as strong as I used to be since I can't heal right now."

Midnight: "You are the string girl I know Winter"

Me: "It's been almost a week. We're on day 6 and the best done is that the bleeding slowed."

Midnight: "I'm sure the bleeding will stop by this weekend and your wounds should start scarring over after."

Me: "I sure hope so."

I went to my changing area and pulled my closet closed, then got dressed in black lace panties and put on some dance shorts, then put the rest of my clothes on. I came from behind the curtain and heard midnight clapping.

Me: "Are you sure I'll be better soon?"

Midnight: "Of course, now let's go downstairs before Jefferson leaves."

Me: "He's still here?!"

Midnight: "Yes"

Me: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

I smiled and ran downstairs to Jefferson with Midnight yelling for me to be careful as she ran behind me. I smiled and jumped on his back when I saw him. He laughed, then looked back at me.

Jefferson: "Hey baby sis"

Me: "Hi Big Brother"

Jefferson: "How are you feeling about your performance and stuff today?"

Me: "I feel ecstatic"

Jefferson: "Awesome"

Jefferson smiled as I got off his back and he turned and looked at midnight. His smile grew bigger, he went over to her and kissed her deeply, wrapping his arms around her waist. I always loved how cute they were together. I wanted something like what they have. Jameson came downstairs and cleared his throat as he wrapped his arms around me. Looking at midnight and Jefferson. The couple pulled away from their kissing session, then looked at Jameson who was holding my guitar.

Jameson: "Are yall going to come catch us performing today?"

Jefferson: "Yup"

Midnight: "I heard Javier was closing shop just seeing yall."

Me: "Really!?!"

Javier: "Of course, I wouldn't miss you all performing for the world."

I looked and saw Javier, then ran over and hugged him. He smiled, hugging me. I looked at Amelia and Amelio sat at the table eating.

Amelia: "I think Winter is going to knock all of those fakes out of the water."

Amelio: "Nah if anything I'll win"

Jameson: "Keep dreaming cat boy."

Amelio: "I got stuck like a cat once"

Me: "For two weeks, may I add?"

Amelio: "No baby cakes. Don't join in on them bullying me"

Amelia: "Stop trying to claim her. I'm surprised JJ hasn't tried killing you"

Jameson: "It'll come one of these days"

Amelio: "JJ loves me too much"

Jameson: "Since when?!"

I smiled, looking at everyone, and made a plate of smoked sausage, bacon, and pancakes and ate as I heard my friends bicker. They stopped when Javier spoke up.

Javier: "Any ideas on what yall are doing for your birthday?"

Jefferson: "That's a good question"

Midnight: "Yeah we are celebrating all 4 of your birthdays tomorrow even though you are a week apart"

Jameson: "They always agree on party themes."

Me, Jameson, Amelia, and Amelio all looked at each other, realizing we hadn't done any planning this year.

Amelio: "Let's throw a giant party at the mansion and invite the whole school and our allies."

Me: "The whole school?"

Amelia: "Is that smart? We may be bringing enemies into the same territory"

Jameson: "Amelia has a point. Plus, don't you remember that quite a bunch of kids bully Winter on a daily?"

Me: "It's only a matter of time before paint is dumped on me"

Amelio: "Let's do it in neutral territory, then ya know, like that club or the hang-out last year."

Jameson: "That could work."

Me: "It could"

Amelia: '"How about this. We have a group of VIPs that can hang with us and then the rest will party and come and if they f**k up we have bodyguards kick them out."

Jameson: "That's perfect."

Me: "I'm fine with that"

Javier: "It's settled a party then"

Jefferson: "Looks like it"

Midnight: "Give us a theme, romantic ok?"

Me: "Will do"

After we all ate and talked, we headed out to school. Me and Jameson rode upfront with Amelio and Amelia in the back. I smiled as Jameson laid his hand on my thigh. I smiled, looked at him, then kissed his cheek. I heard Amelio gag and Amelia laugh at her brother. me and Jameson laughed, then they pulled up to the school. Jameson helped me out as Amelia and Amelio got out and grabbed their bags.

We walked inside to our lockers and put our stuff up, then headed to Mr. Sang's class to set our instruments down. Jameson put his arm around my shoulder protectively as Victor came into the room and set his stuff down.

Victor walked over, hearnig him a growl from Jameson. Victor looked at Jameson, not caring, then stepped closer. He reached his hand out to touch my cheek, then was instantly flipped.

Jameson: "You apparently can't listen. So let me break it down for you. Don't. f*****g. Touch. Her. You pompous ass.

Victor: "She's not yours, at least I don't see a mark. Besides, she's free game since Tony is with Erica."

Jameson: "What?!"

I looked at Victor processing his words, then looked at Jameson, who looked at me with worry in his eyes. I held back tears then took off running down the halls, pushing past everyone. I bumped into someone, then fell back on my arms and whimpered in pain, feeling shoot through my arms. I looked up and saw Sarah and Jackson. They looked at me. I hurried up and apologized, then started running back and made my way out of the school, then into the woods and to the meadows.

Once I got far enough away, I fell to the ground, landing on the soft grass, then let out a scream and held myself as I cried. I could feel snow howling in pain. My heart was breaking and I hated it. I lay in the grass as I cried, silently admiring the flowers, slowly zoning out as a memory that was long forgotten played in my head.

~12 years ago~

I sat with my mom and sister Savanna in a meadow playing with the flowers. Savanna was teaching me to make flower crowns. I smiled as I made one just like my sister taught me. I had set it on her head and she smiled. I then played with her red and blue hair admiring how pretty and soft it was.

I smiled and started making a new flower crown with different colored daisies that were a variety of sizes for my mom. I smiled as Savanna helped me with picking and braiding them. I smiled when the crown was finished, and we went over to Mom. I handed her the crown and she smiled brightly, then turned it into crystal. Mom had the power to turn anything and everything into crystal. I smiled and played in my mom's hair. It was just like mine and I loved it. She had told me one day I would learn to use my powers.

I smiled as my sister and mom chased after me. I was caught by my dad and giggled. He then handed me to my brother Chase. I smiled and looked at my dad and brother. We had a wonderful day.

Present Day

I smiled as I looked at the memory slowly fade and I continued crying. I wish they were alive.

~Jameson's Pov~

I looked at Winter and ran out after hearing what Victor said. I looked at Amelia, then stood over Victor. I looked at Victor and growled. I punched him, knocking him out. I looked at Amelio.

Me: "Take care of the ass"

Amelio: "Got it"

Me: "Look for Winter after dropping him off at the nurses' office"

Amelio: "Got it. oh, Jameson. Kill that asshole when you see him."

Me: "Of course"

I ran down the hall in the direction I saw Winter go. I continued speedily walking down the hall then stopped as I saw Jackson and Sarah. I was about to approach them, then heard them talking.

Jackson: "He's soo f****d. I told him not to go with that girl. No dude just has to get his damn d**k wet."

Sarah: "he had to reject her if he continued like that.

Jackson: "I agree, but this will break her."

Sarah: "She already fears him, Jack."

I looked and then cleared my throat. They jumped, then looked at me. I tensed as I felt pain, then looked at the two.

Me: "Where is she?"

Sarah: "Winter. She went out the doors."

Jackson: "She looked broken. What happened?"

Me: "She knows Tony has a new girl."

Sarah: "We have to find her, come on"

They both looked in shock and then ran to the door. I fallowed behind them with Amelio behind me.

~Winter's Pov~

I sat up as I heard my name being called. I looked behind me and saw Amelia. She ran over and hugged me tight. I cried and held on to her. She hummed and then stopped upon hearing footsteps. We looked and saw Jameson, Jackson Amelio, and Sarah. Jameson looked at me then ran over as Amelia let me go and moved aside. I held my hands out for him. Jameson pulled me into his arms and hugged me tight. I cried and stayed in his arms. He then started humming, fly me to the moon.

He kissed my head, then looked at Jackson and Sarah. Sarah looked at the scene and wanted so badly to hurt her brother right there and then.

~Winter's Pov~

Winter cried as she held onto Jameson. Jameson hated seeing her like this. He knew he'd have to use his powers if she kept crying.

Sarah and Jackson looked at each other and then walked off. "We'll be back," Sarah said.

Sarah and Jackson rushed back to school and sniffed out Tony. They made their way to the second building and to an empty room. Sarah picked the lock and opened the door.

Jackson walked in and growled at what he saw. A brunette with olive skin was kissing Tony. Tony had his fingers up her skirt on her thigh. Sarah let out a deep growl, causing the two to break apart. Tony looked at his sister and cousin with an annoyed look.

Sarah: "What.. WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU NOT FEEL THE PAIN YOUR PUTTING HER THROUGH?"

Jackson: "She's in the woods balling her eyes out, and you're making out with Erica."

Tony: "Erica is my girlfriend. She came back last night after being gone for two years."

Sarah: "You were supposed to leave her. Your mate is hurting."

Tony: "So what she doesn't love me. She fears me."

Sara and Jackson kept arguing with Tony, then gave up. Sarah left, slamming the door behind her. She pulled out her phone and then called up her dad.

Meanwhile, in the meadow. Winter was still crying. She hadn't calmed down. Jameson sighed and held onto Winter as he started using his powers to relax her. She slowly relaxed and fell into him. She looked up at him and smiled slightly as a few stray tears fell from her eyes and down her cheek. Her eyes weren't bright purple anymore. They looked so dull and so lifeless. Jameson knew she was broke. Jefferson most likely knew now too.

Amelia looked at her broken friend wanting so badly to cry. Amelio was livid. He wanted Tony's head on a mantle. Winter slowly sat up. Jameson got up then picked Winter up and rested her on his arm. He held her with one arm and started walking to school. Amelio and Amelia behind them. They went upstairs to the giant gym that was on the second floor and set the stage up. James set Winter on the stage and looked at her.

Jameson: "Do you still wish to sing my love?"

Winter: "I've practiced so long for this, of course. Besides, you can't sing the song alone."

Jameson: "True and I wouldn't want to sing it with anyone other than you."

After 3 hours of setting up, the principal made an announcement saying for everyone to go to the second-floor gym. Winter smiled as Mr. Sang came in and smiled, looking at the decorations.

"This is perfect," he said happily.

Once everyone who was participating came into the gym, they started rehearsing their acts. Jameson smiled at Winter as she hummed and played her guitar. He knew she was gonna rock this stage.

After rehearsing, the bleachers and chairs were filled with family members of those who would perform.

~Winter's Pov~

I smiled, looking at the stage. Mr. Sang had announced me first I smiled and put on 1950 by King Princess and played the notes on my guitar. I smiled as I started singing.

Me: "I hate it when dudes try to chase me

But I love it when you try to save me.

'Cause I'm just a lady"

I smiled, looking at the crowd as I sang, getting lost in the music. I then smiled, looking over at Jameson as I played and sang to the music.

Me: "I love it when we play 1950

So cold that your stare's 'bout to kill me

I'm surprised when you kiss me"

I smiled and bit my lips as I thought of when Jameson kissed me and I played my guitar. Jameson sat in the audience with Javier and Jefferson. I smiled as I looked at him and started singing back.

Me: "So tell me why my gods look like you

And tell me why it's wrong.

So, I'll wait

For you

I'll pray

I will keep on waiting for your love

For you

I'll wait

I will keep on waiting for your

Did you mean it when you said I was pretty?"

That you didn't wanna live in a city

Where the people are shitty"

I smiled as I was singing, letting the music take me over, and I sang my heart out. I smiled as I looked at Jameson, then my family, and kept singing.

Me: "I like it when we play 1950

So bold, make 'em know that you're with me

Stone-cold, will you miss me?

So tell me why my gods look like you

And tell me why it's wrong.

So, I'll wait

For you

I'll pray

I will keep on waiting for your love

For you

I'll wait

I will keep on waiting for you"

I smiled, looking at Jameson in the eyes, and blushed softly. I always felt so nice around him, like he was made for me. I smiled, looking at him. His lips sang as I sang.

Me: "I hope that you're happy with me in your life.

I hope that you won't slip away in the night.

I hope that you're happy with me in your life.

I hope that you won't slip away.

I hate it when dudes try to chase me.

I love it when you try to save me.

'Cause I'm just a lady"

I smiled as Jameson ran down to me. I got off the stage and kept singing as I stepped my guitar down, and he picked me up. I smiled, putting my hands on his cheek as our foreheads touched, and I sang the last of the song as his arms snaked around my waist.

Me: "So tell me why my gods look like you

And tell me why it's wrong.

So, I'll wait

For you

I'll pray

I will keep on waiting for your love

For your love

(For you)

I'll wait

I will keep on waiting for you"

I smiled, looking up at Jameson and he kissed my nose. I smiled, giggling, then heard claps and looked at everyone.

Jameson and I went to sit down, as other people sang and a lot of them were good, but JJ will always be the best singer to me. Amelio and Amelia were amazing, and I hate saying it, but so was Victor and, surprisingly, Stacy. I didn't know people who sucked d**k most of the day could sing.

Mr. Sang then called up Jameson so he could do his performance. Jameson smiled and grabbed my hand, and we made our way to the stage. I smiled, looking at him. I stood backstage until he waved me over.

"I would like someone very special to sing with me. I've known her 10 years and would sing this with anyone but her." He said as he looked at me.

I smiled and walked up on the stage and stood next to him. The song In the Name of Love began playing and I smiled sweetly.

Jameson: "If I told you this was only gonna hurt

If I warned you that the fire was going to burn

Would you walk in?

Would you let me do it first?

Do it all in the name of love."

Me: "Would you let me lead you even when you're blind?

In the darkness, in the middle of the night

In the silence, when there's no one by your side

Would you call in the name of love?"

I smiled, looking at him, and then we both started singing together as we harmonized, balancing each other out.

Both: "In the name of love

Name of love

In the name of love

Name of love

In the name of...

In the name, name

In the name, name

Me: "If I told you we could bathe in all the lights

Would you rise, come and meet me in the sky?

Would you trust me when you're jumping from the heights?

Would you fall in the name of love?"

Jameson: "When there's madness, when there's poison in your head

When sadness leaves you broken in your bed

I will hold you in the depths of your despair.

And it's all in the name of love."

We smiled as we sang, looking into each other's eyes as we circled each other. We got lost in the music as if it were only us in the whole gym.

Both: "In the name of love

Name of love

In the name of love

Name of love

In the name of...

I smiled as we danced, then turned our backs to each other and took steps in the opposite direction as we sang.

Me: "I wanna testify"

Jameson: "Scream in the holy light"

Me: "You brought me back to life"

Both: "And it's all in the name of love"

Jameson: "I wanna testify"

Me: "Scream in the holy light"

Jameson: "You bring me back to life"

Both: "And it's all in the name of love"

We turned and looked at each other as we sang, then walked back to each other and locked eyes. He took my hand and twirled me, then pulled me close, holding my waist with his free arm.

Both: "In the name of love

Name of love

In the name of love

Name of love

In the name of...

In the name, name

In the name, name

In the name of...

In the name, name

In the name of..."

I smiled, looking up at him and blushed. He set the microphones down, then pulled me closer and kissed me deeply. I kissed him back as I wrapped my arms around his neck as we kissed. We pulled away and he cupped my cheeks. We heard clapping and smiled at the audience. He blew a kiss to the crowd, smiling. I admit it made me slightly jealous, but I didn't mind. I smiled and made a slight bow. We got off the stage and looked at Mr. Sang was wiping his eyes. I smiled, then looked as me and Jameson sat down on the bleachers with our friends and family.

Once our teachers had composed themselves, Mr. Madin announced Jameson as the winner. Jameson smiled and then kissed me deeply. He blushed, looking at me, then ran down and jumped up on the stage.

He couldn't believe he won. He was now the top to perform at all the school events. I smiled, looking at him.

Once everything was finished, we stayed behind to clean and headed home at about 8 o'clock. We haven't seen Tony at all today. Come to think of it, I didn't see Sarah and Jackson after they left the meadow.

Once we got home, we ordered pizza and Chinese food dinner to celebrate Jameson's win.
