Chapter 30: Can't Let Go

Lex's POV

I had so much to say, but when he asked me that question, I hesitated. It was unlike me to hesitate; I would have thrown a punch to his face without thinking too, but right now I was standing right in front of him, staring at his face as the anger burnt within me.

"I already told you I don't want to fight, unless you give me a reason to do so, because there is no way I am going to let you take her away." My voice was calm and steady, but the exact opposite was happening in my mind.

It was feeling so much anger within me that I wanted to pounce on him, but somehow I was able to pull myself together and hold firm, something I barely did.

"What is wrong with the both of you? I don't get it. Is this still about the yelling from yesterday?" Nick's loud voice broke the few seconds of silence.

He walked forward, standing in the middle of us, but my gaze was still fixed on Landon. This was serious for me; I was losing my mind every second thinking about him and Lisa. There's no way I would let myself go completely crazy by thinking I could live with it.

"You should ask your friend Nick; all of a sudden he wants the same girl he asked me to mate."

London's response was rather ridiculous to me. I scoffed at first trying to understand what he meant.

"Youdo know that's ridiculous,, right? I mean, when did you start taking me by my words?"

"Since yesterday, Lex. Since you asked me to go meet her, which I am finally doing. Why are you so pissed about it?"

"Fuck it,, Landon, I take it back. I don't want you to mate with her; I don't want you to date or be in any way close to her."

I knew I sounded pathetic at the moment, but if that was what he wanted to hear to stop the craziness, I was going to say it a million times.

"This has got to be the craziest thing I've heard in a while, Lex. Landon, what the fuck is wrong with the both of you? You're now fighting over Lisa all of a sudden? What has that girl done to the both of you"

"Stay out of it, Nick!" We both yelled in unison before falling into silence as we stared angrily at each other. I knew I was angry back then, but why was he acting the way he was?

Something told me that he was only trying to get back at me and was not serious with all of these, including his sudden relationship with Lisa.

I could hear a voice in my head telling me that I was being all too serious about it and that Landon was only teasing me with that, but how was I supposed to know if he was serious about it or if he was only playing me?

"The moon goddess help me because right now I feel like strangling both of you. What the heck! You both better not come back to me to try to help you fix things because I would definitely strangle you two to death by then."

"You can do whatever you wish, Nick, but I'm not going to quit my relationship with Lisa all because Lex does not approve of it. News flashes that I do not need you to approve for it, and it's already begun. "If there's anything you want to do about it, I'd suggest you start doing it already," Landon responded, and my heart raced. Not out of anger this time but out of tension and fear.

What if it was really happening? I wouldn't be able to bear seeing them together; I almost passed out from witnessing it for a few seconds. I don't want to feel that way again.

" Landon I do not know why you are doing this, but it's not funny anymore. I came to you today, and I tried to apologise to you, but you made it such a big deal that I slipped and yelled at you when I was angry."

"I made it a big deal? We have been friends for too long, Lex, for you to think that I would wave that off like it's not a big deal. I mean, I wouldn't care in the world if it were said to me by someone else, but you? I'm definitely getting a mate; I already have one, and you are going to witness that."

I could hear the confidence in his voice; he was serious; this was not a joke anymore.

How could it even happen in a few hours? I mean, does she not have any pride to just accept being Landon's girlfriend in such a short period?

"You know what I think? I think you both deserve each other." You're both cheap, and neither you nor she deserves me. She's what? A cheap girl that I could fuck on her first day here – isn't that what she is?"

The silence in the classroom was almost deafening. It felt like everything was frozen, and only the sound of our breathing could almost be heard.

"What did you say?" Landon asked. This time he was the one approaching me in rage.

"You heard what I said, Landon. She's a cheap..."

I didn't complete that statement before Landon's fist landed heavily on my cheek in a deep blow that made me stagger some paces backwards.

"What the fuck!" Nick yelled, rushing to Landon as he held him back from attacking me again.

Despite the pain and the stale taste of blood in my mouth, I chuckled and laughed.

"What are you, Lex? A perfect son of a billionaire wolf? No stains on your white? How dare you talk about her like that? She's my girlfriend now, remember!"

He yelled, struggling to free himself from Nick's grip and attack me again.

"You want a fight, Landon? Let's have a fight."

I cursed, my skin burning in fury. He made a terrible mistake hitting me.
