============================

Jason's P.O.V.

"Don't worry I won't be a Problem to you anymore. I'm sorry I was such a burden, I never realized" She said walking away.

Oh shit. Oh shit what had I done? How could I say things like that to her?

Before I knew it I was running to the house after her only to be punched and sent flying on the dirt.

"What did you do?" A very angry Damon stood in front of me, his eyes black, his stance stiff. Who did he think he is? He has nothing to do with Lux and me.

"I'd kick your ass for that but I don't have time for you" I said getting up but he blocked my path to the house. 

"What did you do to her?" he asked angrily, glaring at me. Anyone would have flinched under his gaze but I was alpha too, he didn't have an effect on me.

"Move" I said through clenched teeth.

"If you hurt her I'm gonna kill you" Damon said angrily. That made me snap. how dare he even mention me hurting her when he was the one to hurt her by rejecting her.

"You don't have the right to talk" I seethed "you're the asshole that hurt her so badly so don't even try to say thing" the moment I said that his fist connected with my jaw again but I was prepared this time and only turned my head.

I growled, my wolf taking control, and punched him back. In seconds i was crouched defensively in front of Damon growling with the other guys behind me. he was the same with Zach and Micheal flanking him

"Been wanting to do this for a while" I said through clenched teeth as I glared at him

"Kicking your ass is gonna be fun" he answered but just then jared appeared at the door, he took one look at us and took a deep breath before standing between us.

"you know I'd like nothing more than to hurt both of you" he snarled at us and then looked at me "But First, i wanna know why the hell did my sister just come to me sad and hurt"  he turned his gaze to damon "And I would like to remind you that by hurting each other your hurting Lux. So could you both stop being selfish bastards"

I stared at him, knowing he was right. i was being selfish. God, when did I start being such an insensitive jerk? When had I ever hurt Lux?

Her expression after I'd snapped at her was heart wrenching. I regretted the words as soon as they came out of my mouth and just looking at her hurt expression tore me apart.

I didn't know she went through so much, I wasn't thinking. of course it would be hard to be around her mate I didn't have the right to be so mad. It's just, seeing her being nice to him and hearing her thoughts just brought me on edge. Lux was never a mean person and I knew it took a lot of her to be mean to Damon, why hadn't I understood that before?

because you were so god damn jealous that's why I told myself and i knew it was the truth. I couldn't help it, I loved lux and wanted to be with her. But every time I'd get close to opening the subject someone would interrupt.

Damon had calmed down and Jared was looking at me expectantly "Are you going to tell us what happened or not?"

"Had a fight now I want to talk to Lux so move" I started walking but Jared grabbed my arm and I growled.

"She's asleep now in my room. Save it for another day" he said. I was hesitant but nodded and watched as Damon and his pack went inside. I was going to walk in but I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see a very angry looking Taylor

"We need to talk" he said and I followed him and the others to the woods so no one will hear us. "All I'm going to say is how could you? did you even hear what you said to her?"

I looked away guiltily, they were right. What is aid was out of line, I made it sound like I put up with her and thought she was pathetic. A total lie, I couldn't imagine my life without Lux.

I couldn't explain it to anyone, the way I felt about her. I didn't want her hurt again. When she only talked on email and got close she told me how they treated her, how she felt that maybe they were right with what they said. I didn't want to see her go back to the way she was when she first came to live with us. I can't tell you how many times I'd walk by her room and hear her listening to 'nobody's home' by avril lavigne as she tried to hide her cries. 

It tore me apart to see her like that, I was scared for her and add that to jealousy and you get the messed up things I said. 

"Dude did you even hear yourself? Did you see how hurt she was?" Cameron asked

"I just...snapped guys. I don't know what came over me" I said scratching the back of my head.

"We all know what came over you Jason." Chase said angrily "it's as clear as day"

"But frankly I don't care" Taylor said "We're supposed to protect her, not cause her more pain. Thought you, of all people, would know that"

My head snapped up in anger "I do know that" I said clenching my fists "You know I will always protect her no matter what!" I looked away. "it's lux we're talking about here. You guys know how much I'm protective of her. I regret every fucking word I said, and I wish I could take them back but I can't"

taylor sighed and took a few steps towards me "Look you need to talk to her, after what you said she thinks you always saw her as pathetic. So make it right"

I nodded, trying to think of what to say to her already. She had every right to hate me now. God, just thinking about what I said...unforgivable.

"leave it for tomorrow and lets all get a god night's sleep" he added and I nodded. 

Somehow I was going to make it up her.

Lux's P.O.V.

I woke up in the middle of the night to the feeling of someone lifting me. I kept my eyes closed and snuggled into the warm chest.

"I really don't mind her staying here" I heard Jared say

"yeah I know but she'd like to wake up in her room" Taylor answered. So Taylor was carrying me back to my room, I swear he knew me too well. When I'm upset I'd just lie awake and alone in the morning to calm down and think about things.

I heard a door open and close and pretty soon I was in my bed.

"Tay..." I said opening my eyes and adjusting to the darkness.

"I'm here" Tay answered "you're in you room now"

"thanks Tay" I yawned and he chuckled

"don't thank me yet, the twins wanted to sleep with you here but I told them not to. They wouldn't listen so....just expect them tomorrow morning before school" he said before his smile faded "you okay?"

I shook my head, closing my eyes "I don't wanna talk about it"

Taylor sighed and ran a hand through my hair before covering me with the sheets and placing a kiss on my forehead

"Go to sleep. Things will work out tomorrow." He started for the door

"Taylor" I said making him turn around and look at me "Love you"

Taylor smiled "Love you too L. Now get some sleep"

I nodded and drifted back to sleep.

i woke up in the morning to the sound of knocking on my door. "Whoever it is better have a good reason for waking me up"

"We come in peace" I heard a familiar voice say. i lifted my head to see the twins with their hands behind their backs.

"What are you holding?" I asked suspiciously.

Shane took out a box of cookies and spoons from behind him and Cameron took out some ice cream "We come bearing treats"

I laughed and looked at the clock "Seriously? Icecream and cookies at 7 AM you know we have school"

"Ah you know you can't resist this snack even in the morning" Shane said as they sat with me on the bed. I chuckled knowing they were right and opened the cookies, crumbling them over the ice cream. I started eating with the twins

"So" Shane said awkwardly "how are---"

"Are you okay from last night?" Cameron interrupted Shane who in turn glared at him. I couldn't help but smile.

" I guess I'm...I don't know. It still hasn't registered yet, still shocked." I shook my head "Let's not talk about this now and out I want to get ready"

"but there's still time your usually the the last there." Shane said

I shrugged "I'm awake now so might as well" I lied. The reason I wanted to go early was to avoid Jason. I didn't want to talk to him, not yet at least.

In a matter of minutes I was on my bike and heading to school.  My mind kept racing the entire time, just thinking about what he said. Was I really that...No! I wouldn't think like that. Sure I was pretty broken when I went to his pack but what did he expect? I just got rejected by my mate and ran away from my pack and family of course I'd be...depressed.

I shook my head, deciding not to think about it. I reached school and very few cars were there. I went to my locker and got my books and was the first to class.

I did the same thing for the rest of the classes; just avoiding Jason. Cowardly, I know. But I couldn't handle my best friend leaving me, I couldn't handle him snapping at me like yesterday.

Even at lunch I retreated to the library with Melissa and we just sat there talking and solving homework.

"I wouldn't have pegged you two as the kind to hide out in libraries" I heard a voice say. I turned to see a familiar girl, she was in some of my classes, eyeing me and Melissa.

"Everyone needs to hide every once in a while" I shrugged and eyed the girl. "besides what are you doing here?" 

She was short with blond hair and green eyes and she was wearing a skirt and fitted blue shirt.

"I work here" she said ad shrugged "better than spending lunch alone."

"I know what you mean" Melissa said  "I'm Melissa

"Ren" the girl answered "And your Lux" she told me

"How did you know?" I asked and she chuckled

"How could I not know you. Your the beta's sister who ran away, leaving the pack and now is back as a kick ass fighter"

I blushed looking down "Anyway" I changed the subject "You can always sit lunch with us"

Ren smiled and nodded and we spent a while talking about really everything. It was fun and the girls were funny. It wasn't until we started talking about mates did things get...interesting

"I can't wait to find my mate, honestly. Call me a hopeless romantic but I would love to have that person who loves you so much and cares for you" Ren said sighing dreamily

I almost laughed. Sure that was how I saw mates too, till I got mine and he rejected me 

"Have you found a mate Melissa?" Ren asked and I noticed Melissa look at the ground, a few tears escaping her eyes.

"hey melissa what's wrong?" I asked 

"My mate" she said "he's gone" 

My heart clenched and I almost screamed. She didn't deserve this. It was torture for people to lose their mates. Most of hem go crazy and commit suicide, others just stay with unmated wolves

"Oh honey I'm so sorry" I said hugging her

"I'd do anything to have him back" she said and I closed my eyes at the pain in her voice. She cleared her throat and put on a fake smile

"So that means you and Ren still haven't found your mates" she stated and I winced. Should I tell them? they seemed reliable enough

"Actually I have" I said in a barely audible voice.

Both girls squealed "Who?" Melissa asked 

"Is he in this school?" Ren added

"Is he nice?" Melissa also asked

"He's Damon" I blurted out and they both froze, staring at me wide-eyed.

"b-but you knew him after he was sixteen. You wouldn't have left" Ren said

"he rejected me" I stated. They both gasped and started asking me questions. So I told them, I told them everything. And it was relieving cause they were understandable. Don't get me wrong my boys are understandable but it was nice talking about it without worrying about them losing their anger, and it was nice to have their opinion.

Melissa and Ren were pissed but promised not to tell anyone. When lunch was done we headed to class and I was glad I met Ren.

I was walking to my bike at the end of the day, searching through my pockets my jacket for the keys to my bike but I just couldn't find them. And I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. I had to also deal with being n the pack house and facing Jason, something I didn't want to do yet.

"Looking for these" I heard the familiar deep voice say. I looked at Damon who had a smirk on his lips and my kes in his hands

"How did you get these?" I asked and he shrugged

"I have my ways" he said leaning on my bike 

"Damon please just give me the keys. please jus not today" I said pleadingly and Damon's expression softened.

"Look the way I see it" he said walking towards me "You have two options" he held up a finger "One is you go home and get stuck in the house avoiding Jason, and don't say otherwise it's clear you're avoiding him"

I didn't answer and stared at him 

"Two" he said holding up two fingers"You can come with me and just get away fro a while. No drama, nothing."

I snorted and tried to grab my keys "What's the catch? where would you take me?"

"Somewhere to vent" he smirked knowing it was just what I needed. That kind of agrivated me as I weighed my options

"No talking about the my pack?" I asked and he nodded "Or the...mate thing?" he also nodded. I nodded and without an invitation sat in the passenger side of his car.

"This doesn't mean I like you" I stated and he grinned 

"As long as you're with me I don't care" he said and I could have sworn I heard him mumble something like '...don't hate me' as he turned the car on and left. and then I blinke and realized: I drove out of school with Damon
