Chapter 66: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Eighteen

Josephine

When we make it to school, we both step out and make our way to the main building and when we walk inside, I can feel everyone staring at me and it makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I am trying to ignore it and when I make my way to my locker to get my books, I hear clicking heels along the tiles floor and when I pull my hand out of my locker just in time before it catches my hand, I turn around and see Heather standing there sneering at me.

“You think your so special! You look like a little slut, trying to catch the eye of the future Alpha. You are nothing but a worthless human and a whore. You will never be his mate. I’ll make sure of that!”

I see her hand come up and I already know what is going to happen next but before she can make contact, I hear a growl and when I look to see where it came from, I see heather pushed against the wall of lockers and Max has his hand wrapped around her throat like he is trying to choke the life out of her. I quickly make my way over to them and gently grasp his arm and my ring finger and pinky finger land on the top of his hand and I can’t help but notice the faint sparks at the skin contact we share.

“Alpha, please let her go. We don’t want to be late to class.”

He instantly calms down and releases her from his grip and looks to me and gives me a smile that could melt me into a puddle at his feet. 

He doesn’t even bother to look back at Heather, he just simply lets her go and she collapse to the floor trying to catch her breath and then he gently grabs my hand in his and there is those tingles again.

“Let’s go then. WE don’t want to be late.”

He removes his hand from mine and gently wraps his arm around my waist and grabs my bag from me to carry for me, and he pulls me even closer into his side. This is new to me, and I don’t know how to feel about it. I like the feel of the sparks that run through my body, and I like how he looks at me and I like the feeling I get when he makes me feel pretty and I like the way things are between us. 

But I can’t help but feel like it’s all temporary and how this feeling wont last. I can’t help but feel like this is all going to end horribly and how I am the only one who is going to get my heart broken. I mean come on, he is the Alpha, and I am just a beta’s daughter that has been rejected by her parents.

With us walking to class, I can’t help but think about the ride to school this morning and I can’t hide the smile on my face, he was so possessive and made me tingle all over and I have to admit, I kind of enjoyed it.

We make our way to his truck and when he opens the door for me and places my book bag inside, I stand there for a moment trying to figure out a way to get up inside in this dress and then suddenly, I am swooped up into a pair of arms and placed on my seat, when I look back to Max, he just gives me a smile. 

“I didn’t want you flashing anyone what belongs to me that’s under that beautiful dress.” 

I can’t help but roll my eyes at him and give a slight chuckle. Wait what did he just say? I look at him in confusion and he seems to realize what he said, and his eyes grow wide, and he clears his throat and tries to cover it up with saying something else about how he didn’t want me to flash anyone nearby at all. What the hell is going on? I make a mental note to ask him about his comment later but for now I just tell him to get in so we can get to school before we are late. 

He gives me another smile and then shuts my door and I watch him walks around to his side of the truck and he climbs in and starts it up. The sound of the engine rumbles through my body and I can’t help but chuckle a little he is such a guy with the big truck and the loud engine and all the fancy things a guy likes to do to his truck. 

But I must admit I can’t help but secretly love it too, I may be a girl, but I am not a girly girl, I love the outdoors and I like to get down and dirty doing all the fun stuff that guys like to do too. I just try not to let everyone see that side of me, I don’t need anyone to make fun of me more than they already do. I just hope that one day when I find my mate, he won’t mind either. I know that we could have a lot of fun together doing all the fun stuff guys like to do.

When we made our way to school, I couldn’t help but look around when I felt everyone looking at me and making comments about me being in ‘The Alpha’s truck’. What the hell is the big deal. Oh, wait I know, it’s because he is the Alpha and I am not his girlfriend or his mate, apparently, I am not good enough to be seen with the Alpha. 

I try to slide down and out of the truck without flashing anyone my bits but before I can make my way down Max is there with his hands around my waist helping me down gently.

“Come on, don’t listen to all the bullshit gossip. I think you look amazing today and I want to be seen with you.”

“Ma-Alpha, that isn’t necessary I know being seen with me will hinder your credibility and I don’t want that for you.”

“Please Josie, just call me Max. For now, when it is just you and me, I have told you to just call me Max. If we are around other people, I understand why you want to call me Alpha, but please. It makes me feel odd when you call me Alpha.”

“Okay, Alp-Max. I think I can do that. Let’s get to class before we are late.”

We make our way to the main building and along the way I can feel everyone staring at me and I want to cower into a ball and just try to hide away but I know that won’t happen when Max is with me. He just draws attention wherever he goes. That is just who he is.

When we are on our way to class his best friend Drew shows up beside him and walks along with us to class. After greeting us and giving me a warm welcoming smile. Which I find kind of odd. 

“Hey Lu- I mean Josie. How are you doing this morning?”

Did he almost call me what I think he did? This day just keeps getting more and more weird. What the hell is going on. First Max, now Drew? 

“I’m doing good thank you Beta Drew. How are you?”

“I’m doing good, thank you for asking. And please just Drew is fine. I hope Max here hasn’t been too much for you to handle. He is usually pretty good with all his studies but lately he has...oof!”

When I look between Max and Drew, they are looking at each other and their eyes are glazed so I assume they are mind linking about something Drew must have almost said. This is getting weird. I need to get to class. 

“Okaay…You guys are acting really odd today. I need to get to class. I’ll see you guys later.”

I make the rest of my way to class, and I can’t help but feel eyes on me and I already know it’s Max, I can feel his eye trailing up and down my body and I am glad I decided to wear my dress this morning. It’s like he hasn’t been able to keep his eyes off me and I can’t help but like the feeling. It’s odd really.
