The next few days he never even looked at me. I didn't have the choice to reject him that night, I never do frankly. But my distant behaviour annoyed him. He left me alone and had his driver drop me off at my place the next morning. 

He would never understand how a girl feels. He never wants to anyway. Although I wanted him, I wanted a life too. That involved hanging out with people who talked to me without expectations. 

Unlike him, he talked to me for one thing. Only that. 

I didn't try; I was far too busy myself with upcoming tests. But every time I thought of him, I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine. I knew I pissed him off. And if he wanted, he could do anything he wished. 

I had let loose a little though, I didn't find myself dreading the end of my class and seeing him. But I knew he would show up sooner or later. And that was today. 

I was far too relaxed. Laughing lightly with Noah as we gossiped about some girl he knew. He was smoking standing before me while I leaned on the wall behind me and drank chocolate milk. 

"You sure you don't wanna ride? It's dark already.." 

I shook my head slowly before tossing the empty can in the bin," I have to buy some things on the way." 

"Alright-" He paused as his eyes froze at the gates of the uni. 

My eyes snapped to the gates and my heart dropped. I almost flinched as my phone rang. He leaned on the car staring at us in his menacing gaze nodding up for me to take the call.  

"Shit..." Noah cursed stepping away from me and looking at me. 

"Get your ass in the car"

"Josephine?" Noah's voice carried a fear in it. 

"Ya, um- Talk to you later. " 

"Will you be okay?" I heard him ask softly as I turned to walk away and I only gave him a nod before rushing towards Zenon. 

He didn't even wait for me. He slammed his door shut after getting in and started his car as I ran across the front to get in. 

In my body settled a fear like no other. I saw his stare. It was obvious. His eyes were glaring at Noah, towards me they were dead but to him, I could only pray Zenon didn't bring him up.

"Are you getting a new toy?"

My head snaps at him as he goes from 20 to 60 in a second. I gulp not understanding him yet I knew what he was referring to.

"What?"

"Do you like your new toy? Have you fucked yet? Or are you playing with him"

"What!? Zenon! You know what Noah is to me. A friend. Why are you so angry about me having a friend? "

I wanted him to tell me why exactly did it matter if I did fuck another guy. I wasn't his. Why did he even care?

"I can see the way you two look at each other. Fucken hell...you bored of me this easy? Asking for attention like a whore when I am not here-"

"Zenon!" I yelled.

Arguing wasn't the way. He would just keep amplifying his hateful words. I didn't have the energy to talk or explain his confusing assumptions.

So I leaned back in the seat as he gripped his wheel tightly and sped down the road like some maniac. Don't get me wrong I wasn't scared of him speeding. He was probably the best driver out there. Crashing wasn't my worry but I knew him. He wouldn't hurt his car.

But I was worried about what he would do to me.

"Zenon....what am I to you?" I asked politely and softly after a minute of silence between us.

Silence...

"Who..am I to you?"

Not a word.

"I am not your mate-" I knew it would hit a nerve inside him. I knew it would bring out the worst in him but...I rather make it clear than submit like a dog and act like I am something to him.

"I am not your girlfriend. And you don't love me. Why do you care who I date or fuck?"

I could feel his anger rise minute by minute. His ear would get red and his neck would turn red with his nerves showing up. I could see his veins over his head. He was holding back.

I was pretty confident in talking until he pulled up to his house. I stayed quiet as he parked.

"get out" he said slamming the door close behind him.

I didn't wanna get out. I was scared. But not listening to him would be even more scary.

Stepping out and walking to his front door I peeked in to see him light a cigarette and my heart stopped.

When did he start...?

He puffed out two smokes before I could even walk near.

"Zenon when did you-"

My scream rang throughout the hall as he gripped my hair and pulled my head back. Tears around my rim as I stare at him with my hands gripping his.

"Why do you care what I do huh? Why do YOU CARE!" he yelled.

"Zen...stop. It hurts-"

He threw the cigarette in an ashtray before letting go of my hair and pulling me by my hand to his room. His rough grip on my wrist made me wince and cry I almost stumbled walking with him.

"Zen.." I whispered as he slammed his bedroom door shut behind me making me flinch.

How could he? How could he say that so easily. How could he claim me as something they deemed so much important, something they only saved for their mate. How could he make me even think I was a part of him when I never will be?

"No! I am not letting you go Josie! "
