Beautiful Mate

* Watch It *

Brayden bent over to pick up her books as she bent down at the same time, both hitting their heads on one another as Ashley spoke this time."I'm really sorry." She said quickly as Willow and Jaden began laughing at them, they were so cute and made for each other, but Ashley was human and human's could only take so much pain before..." Ashley you're bleeding!" Willow said frantically as Ashley touched her nose and sighed "It's fine, um, excuse me." She said grabbing her books in a hurry and rushing out the room looking for a bathroom. "Was you flexing?" Jaden asked as a blush arose on Brayden's cheeks "Maybe, thought it would be attractive. Not break her nose." He said a bit ashamed as Malice whined, he didn't mean to hurt his mate and wanted to make sure she was okay, as Willow stepped forward "I'll get her cleaned up." She said, walking out the room helping a very lost Ashley to the bathroom

Willow soon caught up to Ashley and touched her arm as she jumped. "Woah, it's just me." Willow smiled, holding up her hands." I am sorry, just jumpy," Ashley said softly as Willow nodded. "Are you sure your okay. A nurse can check out your nose if you want." Willow said, leading Ashley to the bathroom. "Oh, no. It sometimes happens." Ashley stated as they got to the women's restroom and went inside and got cleaned up "Hold your head back and apply pressure." Willow said softly. "Uh no, heads go forward and apply pressure to the bridge of the nose, if you do it the other way. It can go down your throat," Ashley said and blushed "Sorry I get a lot of nose bleeds. I'm very clumsy." Ashley admitted as Willow rolled her eyes "Girl, stop apologizing. You are fine, and I learned something I didn't know about." Willow shrugged and smiled. After about 3 minutes, the nose bleed stopped and Ashley threw away the paper towel she had been using and washed her hands. "You know you didn't have to stay." Ashley smiled, looking in the mirror. "You will get lost going to the next class. It's with us again, so it would just be better for me to walk you there" Willow smiled happily as Ashley just nodded. "Okay well, I think I am ready", Ashley said, washing her hands as she checked her nose once more and, grabbing her books she had put on the sink beside the one she was using.

Once the girls made sure everything was cleaned, they headed out of the bathroom and took a left, leading them down another hall. This hall had been repainted and patched due to a shooting that happened years ago. But, they still hold classes inside this part of the building. The two girls walked right up to a closed down as Willow knocked with the professor opening the door. The professor was a tall man, slightly built and rather pale. Willow did all but growl when she walked by as Ashley went to follow "Oh you must be the new student that is already being late for my class." He said crossing her arms. "I'm sorry I had a nose bleed and Willow was helping me with it along with finding the room." She said in her best big girl voice and trying her best not to stutter. "Well, let's not hang around the mutts, you need to be on time from now on." He said walking away as Ashley nodded. "Yes sir, it won't happen again." she said quickly "I suggest it doesn't." He barked making her jump as she watched him point to a table away from the three people she knew. She walked towards the front and sat down as the professor began to speak again. "Okay everyone, since two people are late, I will restart. My name is Mr. Hanks, I won't put up with lateness. I will have this door locked tomorrow, and you will fail for the day. I don't get late work or make excuses. Ever. " He said, glaring at Brayden, which made Ashley want to stand up and say something, but she sat there listening "Everything I assign is due the next day unless you're dead. Anything else is just an excuse." He barked. "Now let's begin," Mr. Hank said, turning to face the board as Ashley looked over her shoulder, seeing Willow, Jaden, and Brayden all looking at her. She gave a half smile and turned back around taking the notes Mr. Hank was writing down, Mr. Hank kept looking over his shoulder to make sure they weren't causing issues. But inside his mind he could smell the human blood in the class and was trying his best to keep calm before he ripped a head or two off. This never got easier, no matter how many times he was around humans. This had to be torture.

After class was over, Ashley grabbed her items quickly as she looked over her map once more, noticing she had a small break and sighed ." Are you coming?" Willow said, walking up to Ashley as she smiled "Where?" Ashley asked as the trio smiled. "To the cafeteria, of course. Its snack break." They said excitedly as Ashley nodded "Sure why not." She shrugged and headed out the door with them, but seeing a grim look on Mr. Hank's face, but Ashley turned, walking out the door with Willow and the guys behind them. As she felt someone touch her shoulder she automatically felt sparks, fuzziness, and safety enclosed her. Ashley wasn't sure how, but she knew it was Brayden and when she turned her head she noticed she was right. "I just wanted to apologize to you about the nose, and the headbutt, and being rude about your ugly car." Brayden said as Ashley cracked a smile that melted his whole heart and made him smile. "Call my car ugly again and I'll break your nose." Ashley said with a smile and kept walking as he held his hands up acting like he was pleading with her for his life. Ashley and Willow both rolled their eyes as they walked faster. "Oh that seems like fun," Jaden said as Willow giggled, taking Ashley's hand and pulling her into a run down the stairs of the Noris building. The guys soon caught up to the girls seeing Willow wasn't using her wolf ability to run, so it was rather easy until Ashley dodged away from Bryaden when he tried to catch her and pumped into someone else. Someone she had seen before, someone she only had nightmares about. Now she felt her heart drop "Watch it!" The person said, making her freeze and Brayden grabbed her, seeing tears in her eyes and the smile he once loved seeing on her was now gone. Her face was full of horror.. "Are you okay?" Brayden asked, hugging her close. She pulled away "I-I gotta go." She said, walking away quickly as the older male stood there watching her "Who was that Brayden?" The man said, as Brayden sighed, "My mate dad, you just made her run off." He said a bit annoyed "I did nothing, she is a human. You need to reject her now!" He demanded, trying to use the alpha tone on his son, which just made him laugh "I will not. She is amazing." He said as his dad rolled his eyes "Is that why I can smell hunter blood in her." He barked, baring his teeth "SHE IS NOT A HUNTER!" Brayden growled using his alpha tone which made his friends drop to one knee in, an instant. "Oh get up." He said not even looking at them "We can't with the aura." Willow whispered as he sighed and relaxed a bit. "Just go make sure she's okay, she seemed spooked because of this old dog." Brayden said not even sparing a glance at his father.
