Chapter 51: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Three

Chapter Three

Josephine

I can’t believe I just said all that to the one person who has had my back through everything. I need to fix this. I need to make sure she knows I didn’t mean anything I just said, because I know I have her. I can rely on Sarah. No matter what I may need, I can always call her, and she will help me through anything.

“I’m sorry Sarah, I ju—”

“No, you’re right. You can’t say anything to anyone, because who knows. You wouldn’t have anywhere to go. Who can you really trust these days anyway? Certainly not the one person who has stood by you through everything and brought you up when you were down, or the one person who picks you up in the pouring rain to give you a ride to school, so you don’t freeze to death or the one person WHO HAS KEPT your secret.”

She takes a deep breath and with her final words and turns to walks away. Before she gets too far, she stops, turns and looks me in the eye.

“I have to get to class Jo, I’ll see you later.”

And with that I may have just lost my only friend. I quickly close my locker and look around to make sure nobody heard us, and everything looks clear. I start my short walk to my first class but when I turn the corner, I slam right into someone, and we both go tumbling to the floor. When I realize who it is I bumped into, I can feel my life span being cut short because I know this is the one person I should be avoiding at all costs.

“WHAT. THE. HELL. FREAK!”

“I’m so sorry Tiffany, I didn’t see you there and I wasn’t watching….I..I was trying to keep my eyes down like you said. And I… I’m so sor—”

I didn’t get to finish my sentence because the next thing I know I am on the floor with her sitting on my waist trying to punch me in the face. I keep my hands up trying to block her punch, but she lands a few good ones, and I can feel blood starting to trickle from my lip and I can’t help but think of how I’m going to explain this to my parents because I know they will hear about this and punish me too. But before she can get too many swings on me, I feel her being lifted from me and I hear a loud, booming voice.

“WHAT IS GOING ON?”

I finally manage to pull myself to my feet and I look around to see what is going on behind the black dots I am seeing in my vision I continue to try and blink the black dots away and can barely make out Alpha Max walking back and forth between Tiffany and me, I’ve got myself plastered as close to the wall as I can get and with Tiffany being held back by one of his friends, she looks in my direction with a sneer and look like she isn’t done with me yet.

“Thank goodness you hear baby; she came out of nowhere and pushed me down and started hitting me saying I stole her man, and she just went crazy and started swinging at me.”

I can’t help the look of shock on my face because she is a good actress, and she is trying to pin this whole thing on me. When Max turns to look at me and give me a look of anger and then he sees what my face looks like then turns back to Tiffany and looks her over and then takes a deep breath.

“Is that really what happen Tiffany? Because by the looks of you two, it looks to me like you were doing the swinging. Because I look at you and you don’t have a single scratch on you and her,” he says turning to look at me with a look of almost pity on his face. “Has a busted lip and a couple scratches along her neck. So, I will ask again, what really happen?”

Tiffany turns to look at me and then looks to Max and cuddles up to him like he is going to save her, and in her sweetest voice.

“She came around the corner and knocked me down and tried swinging at me and I just tried to defend myself. It’s not my fault the little misfit can’t defend herself.”

I really hope he isn’t going to believe this crap, because she has done nothing but lie to him. She is always trying to get him on her side, she knows he is going to be our Alpha soon and she wants to be his mate, but little does she know, when he finds his true mate, he won’t be able to accept her no matter hard she tries. And if she was his true mate they would already be bonded together.

When he turns to me again and takes a step away from Tiffany and towards me, he walks slowly and methodically towards me, and when he gets close enough, I can’t help but notice he takes a deep breath and closes his eyes for a moment, like he is trying calm his wolf. When he looks at me, I see his eyes change for split moment from black to his normal blue again and I can’t help but look down towards the floor.

“Josephine, is that really what happen?”

I Keep my eye down and I hesitate on my words for a moment. I clear my throat so I can try again and make sure my words are clear.

“I…I came around the corner and I wasn’t watching where I was going, and I accidently bumped into her.”

“Look at me Josie, I want you to look at me when you speak.”

I take a moment to gather my courage so I can look up at him and tell him what happen. I look up and when I see what is hidden behind his eyes, it takes my breath away for a moment. But I take a deep breath and try again.

“I…didn’t mean to bump into her. Honest, I’m sorry Alpha Max.”

“Josephine, I…”

He gathers himself and when he notices that everyone is still standing around waiting to see what is going to happen. He seems to become enraged and furious. The next thing I know he is yelling at everyone to get back to class and I can’t help but drop to the ground a cower in fear from the sound of his voice. It’s that alpha tone that he uses from time to time that makes everyone want to take cover.

Even Tiffany flinched a bit when he said it. When it’s quiet again I can’t help but look around to see where everyone went and when I see him turn back to me, he looks around like he thought I left too but then he realizes where I am and when he looks down and see me cowering in a ball on the floor at his feet.

“Josephine, Stand up please?”

I slowly make my way to stand and when I do, he has a slight smirk on his face, and I think I see through his eyes that he thought it was cute what I did.

“You don’t need to fear me, Josie. I won’t hurt you.”

We then hear a huff behind him and when he turns to see Tiffany still standing there, he seems to get a look of annoyance on his face.

“What are you still doing here Tiffany? I thought I told everyone to get to class?”

“I’m just waiting for you baby. I thought you could walk me to class after you dealt with this fat, little misfit of a freak.”

What happens next shocks me but then again it doesn’t because I could feel the anger radiating from Max in waves and I knew he would say something to Tiffany, but I didn’t expect him to grab her by the throat and push her against the wall.

“If I ever hear you talk like that about her,” he says this as he points a finger right at me, and I shrink down again against the wall.

“Or anyone else. You will come to regret ever being born into this pack. Do I make myself clear?”

She is trying to get words out to agree with him, but he has such a tight hold on her that she can’t make a sound and when she realizes this she simply nods her head as best she can.

“Good. Get out of my face Tiffany, I don’t want to see you again.”

He lets go of her and she falls to the floor for a few moments coughing and trying to regain her composure and when she does, she quickly gathers up her belongings and throws one more glare my way and walks off without a word.
