The Bad Boy Sang My Song

Mate

  Xavier’s POV

I have always been indifferent toward this kind of attraction or spark because I despised it; it just makes people weaker. I am one of the strongest Alpha in the world and now I have to go through this because of some nobody; this is absolutely unacceptable. Since the girl entered this town I have not been the same. I can’t afford to be weak. For my entire life I have stated my dominance over the weak and this time it will be no different. There was this girl called Celestina on my mind whereas, for my wolf, he was still in awe about the white-furred wolf I saw in the woods. Her eyes, her fur, and everything about her screamed grace and royal. I have been turning every night to get a chance to see her again but she has vanished in thin air; like she never existed.

The first day when I saw her in school; for a moment I thought she was the wolf but she had no musk and she really looked fragile like a human. There was no way that she could be a werewolf and even my wolf was confused but both of us felt some kind of attraction towards that girl. Attraction towards a beautiful girl was understandable but I don’t feel that in a way that makes me powerless. Love is not supposed to be like that. I come from a home where I saw that Love could make someone so fragile that they lose themselves in it.

My mom Elizabeth fell in love with my dad Adrian Blackwood and they were mates. My dad was the Alpha before me and this has been in my family for generations. I am the direct descendant of Blackwood werewolves. The men in my family have been taught and believe that women were weaker than them and somewhere I believe that myself. Mom’s love for my dad and me has made her weaker and I loathe her that she can’t speak up or fight back on the right thing rather she just goes along with whatever my father says. I thought that mate was supposed to be from both sides. So, my parents prove that mate thing is bullshit.

With Celestina I am getting the same vibes, around her I am not myself. Something is different about her; she looks like a fragile human but is more courageous than any of them. This town is filled and crawling with supernatural beings from vampires, witches to werewolves. We are settled here like normal humans. The students in our school are definitely oblivious to it except a bunch of them. No matter what they all maintain their distance from us. But she just came into the class and sat in between werewolves and vampires. Even she could hear something only we can hear easily. Again, in the cafeteria, she tried to stand up for a junior but that human boy who is stuck with her all the time stopped her. I will say she has guts and courage. I was fascinated and annoyed with her at the same time. I am going crazy!

She and I had three classes in common. She had some thoughts in Lit. Class and she had exactly the same idea of love like mine and my wolf was nodding his head. I on the other hand had to contradict her even though I felt the same. Later when I thought about it I don’t know why I did that; maybe I wanted her attention on me. As she is a human, she may not feel the same as me about mate's emotions.

The guys from our school are all fascinated by the new girl and I can see all of them trying to make a way to talk to her. Even Damien, the vampire who liked to keep himself to his vampire group was talking and flirting with her. My wolf wanted nothing more than to go and claim her as mine but I will do no such thing. I liked one thing that she was not exactly responding to them aggressively. In the art class, again we were together and she was really a beautiful artist. My bitchy attitude again had to resurface and she must already think that I hate her. Good!

Hayley has been a friend with benefits for me. She wants to complete the mating ritual with me but I don’t want that as I don’t want to be tied down not to her, not to anyone. When I saw her and Celestina’s rift and how Celestina took her own stand in the art room; a sudden proud wave covered me for her. It made me smile that she actually was successful on the 2nd day to get into trouble with Hayley. I quickly shrugged it and Hayley asked me to join a party at Natalie Marshall’s house. Everyone was going to be there and I needed to get out there and maybe a party will work.

But boy was I wrong; there she was dressed in a knee-length dress talking and laughing with her friends. I tried to distract myself with James and Alan’s bickering but nothing seemed to be working in the favor. Then Hayley went and dropped drinks on her. My wolf was ready to pound on her and as I am the Alpha Hayley will know her place. I got out to get some air and one thing great about Marshalls is that their house in the woods which gives me enough place to get fresh air. I thought about the white wolf which was near this cabin then I felt someone near me. It was Celestina. How can there be so many con-incidences?

With a cigarette and air, my wolf seems to be in check but then she did something that made me hard to breathe. She took off her changed clothes and dived in the pool with her bathing suit. Suddenly the temperature increased immensely. I kept on scratching my ear to control myself. She got out of the pool and covered herself with a towel to dry herself, and then my wolf muttered the word for the first time ‘mate’. This was not lust which I have had with other girls; this is something way bigger than that.

I need to get out of here. I want nothing but to go back and make her mine. I drove at great speed, I have never lost control in my life and this girl can’t make me lose control. I don’t want to be distracted or a mess; I am Xavier Blackwood who is known to be the most collected and composed Alpha. I don’t have an exact liking for my dad but I can’t be my mom; I can never be like my mom. The plan which is brewing in my mind is not something I can come to full terms with but I will do it. I have to cut her out and to make that possible I will be the ruthless Alpha; the one I am known for….

Celestina’s POV

The entire night I read through the books, archives, and notes and was able to find out that even though being a vampire I as a tribrid can still practice witchcraft because of my ancestors. I barely know anything about them. I just knew that my mom was a divine witch but I know nothing of her ancestral background. All the pieces of information which I found were nothing important. It was just basic; the only thing that could help me uncover myself would be the book. I took a look at the book and got up for school.

As I got up I suddenly felt dizzy. It was because of the magic I used yesterday to get to my parents. Last time when I did this magic I was not able to get out of my bed for 2 days. I would say this was an improvement but last time I had to drink animal blood to get back my power. This time I will try to get it back from the usual food. I don’t wanna come in contact with any kind of blood. I prepared breakfast and hangover soup for Nat.

Nat came downstairs wobbling and still in yesterday's hangover.

“You look like a zombie.” I commented with a laugh.

“Hahaha!” She spat out at me. “Not everyone is supernatural like you Celest.” She grabbed the toast and blew out to put it in her mouth. I kept the hangover soup in front of her.

“I love you.” She said and acted to wipe her invisible tears.

“Alright,” I playfully rolled my eyes at her. “Finish your breakfast, I am leaving for school. I have some work in the library.”

“See you later.” She cried out. When I took out my bike, I had to hold the wall for support. I drank the energy drink I prepared and started on my way to school.

First I went to the library as I needed to write some notes about the assignment. I took out the ear hoop from my bag and kept it in my pocket so that I could return it to its rightful owner but I am not sure if this actually belongs to Xavier. Everyone was half hungover from yesterday’s party and was barely paying any attention to the class.

“How are you so fresh?” Peter asked me. There were dark circles under his eyes. I showed him my juice bottle.

“All thanks to this!” He tried to snatch it from my hand.

“Let me try.”

“Nope go get your own.”

“You are mean.” He folded his hands in front of his chest and pouted his lips. I laughed and offered him some Advil. I specially carried this for my drunk friends for today. “You are the best.” His expression suddenly lit up.

I was in the cafeteria sitting all by myself. Peter and Amy had some stuff to discuss a class assignment. So, I sat going through my phone and eating my lunch. Today, I had gym class and I have no energy to keep up with the strenuous activities. I can just do some laps. I saw Xavier entering the cafeteria with Alan. I saw his ears and one ear hoop was missing. Has he seriously not noticed that yet?

I was about to get to him to return his ring but he suddenly glared at me with so much hatred in them. For the first time, I felt hurt by his sudden behavior. My wolf backed down and cornered herself. The first time she whimpered the word with so much sadness 'Mate'. I could feel the anger oozing out of him. He is most intense and not showing any emotion but right now I could feel the anger was towards me. What the hell is wrong with him?

I sat back down and decided to ignore him. If he was going to be a jerk to me without any reason then so be it. Hayley entered the cafeteria following Xavier. For the last two days, as much I have seen Hayley only made move towards him but he stayed unbothered. Today he pulled her on his lap and even Hayley was surprised at him.

Then he did something that caused a heart-wrenching pain to me. He kissed her….
