~Charles P.O.V~

"Charles, what are you doing?" I know it is rude to not answer someone when they are talking to you, but right now I'm blinded by my anger. Who does Adam Westling think he is? Who gave him the right to bully my mate. Mate has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

Before I can even comprehend my situation. I'm standing off with the motherfucker who bullied my mate. Even though I'm shorter than him, I know I make up for it in muscle. Feeling the hard gazes of the rest of his group of friends burning into the back of my skull. I know Matthew told me to keep a low profile and to not draw attention to myself, but this guy needs to understand that he is not the boss.

"What do you want now 'new kid'. Are you ready for your first lesson of who runs this school?" He speaks as we become face to face. And not in any romantic way. No way in hell, I belong to Matthew and he belongs to me. Even if he doesn't know it just yet.

"Cat caught your tongue or something?" He says, seeing as I haven't spoken since I waltzed my way over here. "No, I have the ability to speak. Just didn't see the need to talk to a dead man" I said with dominance slipping into my tone. I hear the "Oooohhh's" from behind me, signaling that I did something right. His face becomes enraged. I give a self-confident smirk just to send him over the edge.

It might not seem like I don't understand the ways of this world, but Matthew told me that if I were to start a fight; I will be in trouble, but if the other person does. I become the victim and am safe.

I wait for Adam to take the bait and make the first move. It doesn't even take a second before he balls up his hands into fists and, thrusts them into my direction.

The battle begins, and I intend to win!

~Mathew P.O.V~

It looks like Adam Westling made the first move, but Charles is not safe from consequences. What he doesn't know is that Adam is the principal's son. The punches move as fast as light. I can barely tell who is winning, but from my point of view Charles is getting more hits off and is taking less visual damage.

No one at school has ever been able to keep up with Adam's speed, yet here Charles is doing just that.

The whole cafeteria is in awe, yet in shock at the same time. No one speaks a word. All that is heard, is the sounds of grunting, fists, and strange animal like growling. It was as if two wolves were let into school.

Before I could even stop them, tears were running down my cheeks. At this rate Charles will be expelled and I will have to deal with school alone again. I can't do that, it hurts too much.

"CHARLES, PLEASE 'sob' STOP! OR I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" I yell hoping this would bring him back to his senses. Only to run away when he turns around to look at me. I run to the bathroom at the complete end of the hall. The number of bruises I saw on his face were enough to leave me broken as if I was the one getting beaten.

From the short glance I got, it looked as if his nose was broken, his upper lip was busted, and blue, purple and red blotches covering his face. I couldn't even stand to look any further than his face for anymore bruises.

I ran into the open bathroom stall and lock the door not even caring if someone was still inside the bathroom. I let out the tears while bringing my knees up to my chest and rocking back and forth on the floor. So very dirty, but at this time it felt like a cloud up above the world to hide me from humanity.

It has been a while since I have broken down like this. That's not true. I broke down earlier today. And it was about Charles then too. What is he doing to me, he makes me feel things that I am trying to hide.

"Matthew? Are you in here?" he said in a soft tone as if he were trying to tame a wild animal. Shit, he can't see me like this. I know my eyes are going to look weird again after full blown crying. How the hell did Charles find me in the first place. There are about four bathrooms on this level and this is the farthest from where we were before. Damn his luck is on point.

"Damn. I guess he is not here either. But there are no other bathrooms on this level that I haven't checked. Where did you go Matthew? I just need you to not be mad at me, so where ever you are don't be mad at me." Is he serious? Why would he waste all this time searching for me? Its not like I'm worth it?

I release my leg from my arms and grab the disability railing on the side of the wall. I raise my arm to wipe my tears off my cheeks and eyes. Then I take a long and quiet breath and open the door to see my red eyed appearance in the mirror. You could clearly see and understand that I had just been crying. Sadly, my bright orange eyes were back, and it was too late to hide them from Charles.

"Matthew? You actually were in here? I thought I would have to search every part of this school for you. Thank god, that would have taken forever." Charles spoke while wiping his head as if he had run a 5k. Wait, knowing Charles he wouldn't even be fazed by it. It looks as if Charles still hasn't noticed my eyes.

So, I turn my head away from him, so he wouldn't be able to look at them. I stare down at the blue and white tile the bathroom was covered in. And when I mean covered, I mean the walls, ceiling, and floor were like this. The only things that weren't, were the bathroom stalls and the sinks.

"Hey! Hey." He said walking toward me ever so slowly till we were inches apart. "Look at me. Don't turn those beautiful" and there he just stops in shock. He must have noticed my eyes and will now think I'm a freak like the rest of my school.

Before I could even stop myself, a small but noticeable tear falls from my eyes upon my cheek. "Yeah, it seems as you have seen these weird eyes I was born with. Now, just make the punch fast to get this over with before I do something to make this worse." I say preparing for the impact and after that fight with Adam, I know this will definitely hurt.

As I shut my eyes and preparing for a fist, I was instead brought into a comforting hug. Charles's two long and hard arm were brought around me. You might think that this would at least make me uncomfortable, but it was the complete opposite. I felt like it was a hug from my mother, like when I was younger. It felt as if he was protecting me from the world around us and was not planning to let me go.

As I was relaxing into the hug, Charles's head moves till his lips are right beside my left ear.

He whispers softly "I would rather die than to cause harm to such a beautiful mate. You have no idea how it hurts to see you like this, broken and at the point of no returns. I promise here and now that I will always protect you from anything that hurts you, emotionally or physically."

I pull back a tad till I'm still in Charles's arms, but far enough that he can see my face, and I can see his. "But I'm not beautiful, I'm ugly, useless, and unwanted. (Three "U" words total accident) I don't see how you could promise such a thing. Especially after you broke your last one." Saying after remembering him promise to not get into a fight with Adam in English.

Guilt washes over his face as he now understands what I mean. He turns to the side and downcasts his eyes before speaking once again but now it's a little above a whisper "I know, I know. But I was just so blinded by the story you told me that I couldn't even think. All that would pass through my mind was the fact that this Ignorant Little Fucker thought he had the power to hurt you." His voice gradually gets louder, and his shoulders become tense.

I raise my arms to rest them on top of his shoulder blades, feeling him relax at the touch. I move my head closer to his marking sure to look him in the eyes while speaking softly " I know what you mean, but you don't understand how much it hurts to see you get hurt. It feels like I'm there with you taking the punches."

"I understand and I'm sorry. But this promise will be impossible to break. Because I love you too much." I froze, feeling the blush run from my cheeks to the tips of my ears. "I....I don't k-know what t-to say? I don't k-know how to l-love someone." I stumbled on my words just trying to get the sound out of mouth.

"Then I will teach you starting with this." Before I could ask what "this" was I was brought in for a simple but passionate kiss.

My eyes drift close and I could feel every inch of his lips. The way they would softly move against mine lovingly, and the way his lips felt so soft as if I was kissing a cloud. More so I felt like I was on one, I wrap my arms around him neck bring us closer together as if being apart would kill me.

Once I felt my lungs beg for the sweet sweet taste of air, I pulled back, but only enough to catch my breath. My chest was rapidly moving in and out, as I try to think over what just happened. I had just kissed Charles after he said he loved me and now I want nothing more than to be welcomed by those soft lips again.

Moving my head towards Charles, bringing my forehead to meet his. I gaze into his dark blue eyes as if I was looking out into the ocean at night.

As I was in the trance of his eyes, I didn't notice the look of lust lingering hidden in his eyes. His eyes were looking over me as if I was a piece of meat and would be devoured in a second.

I take my bottom lip and bite it softly turning away from him. The amount of passion burning in his eyes were making me turned on. I let out a short but loud whimper.

"What have I told you about that whimper of yours. You don't have any idea how hard it is to control myself when you do that. I want to pin you to the wall and make that sound become moans of pleasure instead." The amount of dominance that was laced in his tone was setting me over the edge.

I pout, popping my bottom lip out while still look at the ground. "What if I wanted you to?" I speak in a quiet whisper. Then a sharp growl was heard through the bathroom. "Don't say things you don't mean before this gets too out of hand." He said with his dominance still in his tone.

I bring my eyes to meet his and was shock to see his dark blue eyes become navy black instead. I stare at them for what felt like forever but was only a minute. "I think it is time to leave this restroom now don't you?" I couldn't say a word, so I just nod my head to get my answer across. I place my arms around his neck, as I was lifted into his arms in bridal style and carried out of the bathroom.

Since lunch was now over the hallway was filled with people. As we exited the bathroom, all heads turned toward us. The looks of surprise, disgust, and some with none, filled everyone's faces. Everyone was at their lockers getting the things for their next class.

I put my head into Charles's neck, so I wouldn't have to look at anyone anymore. "Awwe, so you finally got your fag of a boyfriend back to talk to you. I wonder what things happened when you two were alone?" Why is Adam back with his snarky tone?

"How about you just step aside so I can walk Adam" his last words were laced with venom as if his name was even hard to say. I didn't want to look up from Charles's neck, but I knew I had too, before this got to out of hand. "Charles I'm sleepy. I want to go home pleasssse." Pleading the last word so he'd get my point.

He suddenly changed our position from bridal to me having my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He slowly started bouncing me. If I wasn't tired before I was definitely now. My eyes slow begin to close, and I become less aware of my surroundings but still get to say "don't let me find out that you got into another fight when I wake up or I will hate you. Just take me home and lay with me please."

I didn't wait for a response for I was already drifting asleep after my last word. My world was brought into a black void that I call sleep, but this time it felt comfortable. 

I know its been I while but I was in the mood to write so here is another chapter.
