Red: Quitting This Crap

I gaze at my reflection once again at the driver's side mirror, making sure I don't have anything stuck on my face. I dragged my fingers over my hair combing them backwards as my eyes scan every contour of my head.

I raised my brow with a smirk as I ran my thumb over my right brow. I ran my hand over the fine hair over my cheeks with a satisfied grin. Feeling my confidence build inside my chest as I leaned against my seat.

I looked over the dashboard's mirror reflection of my Beta, Frank, with a quizzical look painted on his face. I narrowed my eyes with a scowl.

"What the hell are you looking at?" I growled and he just averted his eyes away from me. His eyes glaring as his body sunk over the back seat. "That's what I thought." I added as I returned my gaze forward.

"Start the car." I heard someone speak as the right door clicked open making me glare at the direction of the voice.

Lucian nonchalantly sat down as he pulled the door shut. I didn't even heard him approach the vehicle nor caught his scent.

"Don't tell me what to do." I gritted my teeth as I started the car nonetheless. I felt him look at me as he strapped his seatbelt. He let out a humorless chuckle.

"Be thankful I'm bringing you along." Lucian sneered as I pulled out of the shade where the car has been parked out into the main road. "Fuck this has been one hell of a week!" He groaned. "Thank the Goddess that it's all over."

I rolled my eyes as Frank instructed the way towards the meeting place. He had his face stuck towards his phone most of the ride. My hands was clasping the wheel firmly though through sweaty palms.

I don't know why I felt agitated for some reason and it's bugging me. My eyes trained at the road as Frank told to take a left at the curve off the main highway. There's nothing to be bothered for.

We're just meeting a human....

... and there is one other person. Him.

I swallowed a lump on my throat as I felt a tug on my chest as I pressed on the brake abruptly. Making all of us push forward by the force. I heard Frank fumble his phone and was scrambling to look for it. Lucian shot me a glare.

"What the fucks wrong with you! Are you trying to kill me?!" Lucian growled. "Fucking shit, Fang!"

I felt my breathing hitch and my face felt warm as my hands grasped the wheel tightly. My teeth gritted against each other as I tried to push the anger down my stomach.

"Just...fucking...shut...up..." I gritted my teeth as I slowly calm down through shut eyes. Lucian remained quiet though I could feel his glare burning through my skull. "Give...me...a...sec..."

I huffed air in and out of the gaping mouth as my chest heaved heavy. What the hell's wrong with me. Why am I acting some two bit cat at meeting him. Why now? My heart clenched painfully but the heat over my body was starting to cool down. I started to breath evenly.

"Are you alright?" I heard Frank ask as I looked at him with a glare though the look at his face seem different than what I expected him to react. "I'll take the wheel." He offered but I let a low growl of disapproval.

"For fucks sake, Fang! Let your Beta drive. I want this night to end already!" Lucian rolled his eyes as he was about to smack the back of my head. I quickly slapped his incoming hand with a growl. No one smacks me in the head.

"I said give me sec." I huffed as I straightened my back. My visions was normal once more and my breathing was no longer lapsing. "There." I spoke as I restarted the car once again. "I said I was fine."

"Fine. But if you're having another re-lapse then I'll be taking the fucking wheel!" Lucian growled as we continued down the dirt road. "When you meet your mate later, just do me a favor and get laid already! I don't care if you jump each other once you catch each other's scent."

"The fuck, Lucian!" I yelled back. Frank was beet red at the back seat as he tried to drown his face over his phone. "Don't you fucking tell me what to do! I'm not fucking him infront of you weirdos!"

"Good. I don't want Rex to see you flaunting your dick around." Lucian sneered as I smirk when a thought came to mind.

"Afraid your human might like my dick than yours." I jest as I heard him growl. "Don't mess with me when it comes to sex, Lucian."

"Why is that? You giving me the birds and the bees talk." Lucian smirk back with death circling in his eyes.

"Do I need to?" I countered back my eyes flashing bright crimson. "I thought your butlers have to prepare you for bed."

"Don't push me, Blakey." He growled.

"Try me." I growled back.

I stopped the car as Lucian and I are glaring each other down. Canines barred and eyes glowing. A thundering growl ruptured inside our chests.

I could hear Frank's hitched breath as he looked at us in fear. The smell of fear was unmistakably coming from him. He should know that this happens to two dominating wolves. I could care less if he shit his pants as long he doesn't soil my car's seat.

Our staring contest was cut short when I notice a pair of blue eyes looking out the window. Lucian must have sensed it that he snapped his eyes over the direction that I was looking at.

"Prince Lucian." The man addressed the bastard at the front seat. His eyes wondered towards me and a flashed deep blue before a growl erupted his chest. "Alpha Blake."

I could feel the forced mouthing of my name. I was about to give that guy a piece of my mind when Lucian decided to speak out ahead of me.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked.

"I'm Zephyr Storm, your highness." Zephyr curtly bowed before standing straight again, Lucian shot him questioning look. "Alpha Aries' Beta." He continued.

"Ah. Blake's mate." Lucian said nonchalantly as both Zephyr and I erupted in a low growl. I guess for different reasons. "You can fucking kill each other later. I'm here for Rex."

Lucian unstrapped his seatbelt and exited the car without batting a brow at me. The nerve of that bastard.

I followed them with Frank behind my heels as we started to walk deep into the woods. I tucked my hands inside my leather jacket's pockets as I looked at Lucian's back.

He was walking along the bastard of a Beta as he continued to ask quesyions about the safety of his human.

Frank on the other hand was now beside me when we exited a clearing and my eyes had to adjust at the sudden bright light coming from a jeep parked not far away from another trail.

As my hand was covering my vision, my nose caught something quite familiar and it made my insides rile up. It's like I'm going to puke or something and it's annoying.

And when I lowered my arm, my eyes immediately focused on a guy about my age leaning against the trunk of the Jeep, smiling contently at Lucian and two guys, one older than the other, though only the guy as our age was human. Tears seems to pour down his cheeks as he held the human around his arms. Lucian is crying. Not in million years have I seen or imagine him bawl like a baby.

And yet here he is, a high and might Prince of Wolves, crushed into nothing but a small child, clinging desperately around a human's shoulder.

My eyes where just fixed on them only for a minute and returned to the guy reclining on the side of the truck.

His silvery white hair tied into a nice knot behind his nape complements his fair and pinkish skin. Wearing in a slightly lose white shirt with a v-neck, I could clearly see his collar bone exposed on his nice chest. His biceps and arms wrapped around each other over his chest made me swallow. His shirt was tucked in nicely over a plain blue pants that compliments with his low cut khaki boots. I could tell his legs where well defined like the rest of his body. The curve of his legs brought my eyes towards his ass. I can't help but lick my lips.

My eyes trail back towards his face and found out that he was looking at me with an amused and playful glow shining in his eyes. His plump, pink lips where slightly curved into a what seems to be a smile.

I didn't know what I was doing before that but the next thing I know was that I was infront of him with a smug smirk pinned on my lips. I combed my hair with my left hand before leaning against him with my right hand at the trunk of the Jeep trapping his body against mine.

"Shit." I croaked when my hand slipped on the smooth surface making me fumble forward, crushing our bodies together but he grabbed my arms before we catch ourselves in something out of hand. "Fuck."

Then I heard him chuckle as his hands shook before letting me go. I can't help but smirk at the sound of his voice. It's deep and it's warm, as if his lungs where giving out and he had to stifle his laughter with his now free hand.

"Sorry." He apologized but still held his flat stomach while wiping a stray tear on his right eye.

I reached for his left eye and wiped the tear with my thumb. He paused to look at me and I look at him in return.

My hand was still on his cheek as we looked into each other's eyes. And when I realized that I still have my hand on his face, I abruptly pulled it away.

"Sorry." He apologized again. I raised a brow at him and rolled my eyes.

"Walrus." I state.

"What?" He raised a brow in confusion. I chuckled at his expression but calmed down exactly.

"Exactly." I smirk.

"Huh? I don't get it." He frowns and I can't help but pull him into a hug. I felt both of us stiffen at the sudden contact. My arms around his shoulder and another under his arm. His was caught frozen mid air at my back.

"Aries are you alright?" I heard someone ask in concern as we pushed each other apart. "I knew this would happen when I leave you two alone."

"I'm fine Zephyr. Why don't you and your... Frank take a breather. I'm going to talk to Alpha Blake about something." Aries answered as he adjusted his shirt. My eyes caught every action before glaring back at the guy before us. "We have important matters to discuss."

"Yeah, so beat it." I growl.

"Fine. If you need anything just call me." Zephyr groaned but turned his back and started to walk towards Frank who was watching the Prince and his human.

"Thanks." He called back as Zephyr just waved his hand in dismissal.

I gave a triumphant snort at his direction before returning my gaze back at the guy beside me. A few strands of hair was waving against the light breeze that blew our way. I can't help but feel that familiar rumble in my stomach which want me to smile.

"You're beautiful." I said truthfully. He gave me quizzical look before shaking his head. I frown at his reaction and crossed my arms over my chest. Does he think I'm just making fun of him? "What's so funny?" I can't help but growl.

"Nothing. Just thought something funny." He states as I narrowed my eyes at him. He stood up and started to walk into the dirt path opposite the Jeep. My eyes followed him and took in his broad back in mind and that sinful ass of his. "You coming?" He asked as he looked over his shoulder.

I clicked my tongue though I jogged myself to his side as we continued to walk deeper in the small treck path. He smells nice too, mint with a scent of jasmine perhaps.

"You still didn't answer my question." I demanded as he sighed as he dragged his right arm over his back as his hand caressed his nape.

"Do we really need to discuss that?" He replied. I kicked a rock on the ground and saw it tumble a few feet away from us until rolling to the side of the bush.

"Yes." I deadpanned. I heard him sigh once again. "Fine. If you don't want to tell me then don't."

I heard him growl as he glares at me. He's technically so close to me that i literally could feel his body hear. I look at him in amusement. He's cute.

"It's just... you treat me like a girl sometimes." He explains as I felt a laugh erupting from my chest. I quickly placed my hand over my mouth to stop the laugh from escaping. He eyed me with a frown. "I'm not joking, Blake." He growled and fuck it sounded sexy.

"So you want me to call you handsome." I said after calming down and looking at him. He thought about it and saw him shiver.

"Okay, I admit it sounds weird when you say it." He replied. "Take a left here." He points to a shrubbery area left of the main path. I raised a brow in confusion as he pushed a bush sideways revealing a grassy path.

"Are you trying to kill me?" I can't help but ask. It's dark but we could clearly see the path. I heard him chuckle as he shrugged.

"Maybe." He states between muffled laughter. "Maybe not."

"Well good luck with that. I'm one hard Alpha to put down." I smirk as I flexed my right arm at him. He chuckled as he averted his eyes at me and I immediately used that moment to hook my arm around his neck.

"Fuck! Blake!" Aries growled as he slumped by my side and his scent flooded my nostrils. He instantly tensed as I pressed my nose on his hair to take a sniff.

"You smell nice." I said huskily. We stop walking by this time and for a minute Aries didn't budged nor tried to escape my grasp. "This is so cliche." I chuckled as I let him go and my heart clenched when I saw his face. His bright blush was tugging my heartstrings as his eyes was looking everywhere except me. "Fuck."

"Why?" He started. "Why did you do that, Blake?" He asked as I looked at him like he grew a new head. I approached him and he glared at me that stopped me in my tracks.

I scratched my cheek before looking at him. My cheeks feeling oddly warm.

"I don't know. I just felt comfortable being with you." I shrugged as he looked at the path ahead before returning his gaze back at me. "And frankly, I'm attracted to you."

"But I'm a guy." He states.

"I know."

"I'm straight." He inserted and I felt a ping of pain in my chest on the way he said it.

"So am I." I countered.

"Then why?"

"Why what?" I asked.

"Why are you attracted to me?"

"Because you're my mate." I state unsure.

"We rejected each other." He deadpanned. "We're no longer mate's, Blake."

"It's because...." I paused. I tried to find the right words, the reason why and I looked at him in despair. He looked at me coldly yet his eyes were waiting.

"Why Blake?" He asked again with a tone higher.

"Because..." I balled my hands into fists.

"Blake."

And I snapped and lunged at him, pinning him at the tree as I trapped him between my body with arms on both side. Our faces were dangerously close and his scent was now so overwhelming.

"Blake." He spoke looking at me with concern. "You know this won't ..."

I slammed my lips unto his. I could feel his arms pushing me away but I pressed down harder.

A growl erupted from his chest as a sharp pain shoot through my crotch. I immediately crouch down grabbing my dick in my hands through my pants.

"Fuck! Why the hell did you do that?!" I groan as I glare at him. His cheeks flaring up into bright red. But I was more concerned on my balls, shit it hurts like hell.

"I would say sorry but you put yourself in that situation." He states as he crouch down to look at my hands. "I hope their not broken."

"Fuck you!" I cussed as I deepened my glare at him. "I still plan to have pups one day you dick!"

He smirked as he reach over and circled his palm over my back. I winced at the touch but calmed down as he continued.

"Sorry." He apologized.

"I thought you're not apologizing." I raised a confused brow at him.

"Well, that's then. I'm sorry now." He smiled apologetically as he retracted his arm as he stood up.

"You're one sadistic shit, you know." As he offered his hand. I took it and some weird electric shocks jolts on my palm. He pulled me up and looked at me with something in his eyes. I never noticed how green they were. Quite contrast to my blood red ones.

"Really? I never imagined myself bending a submissive while in leather." He chuckled though the image made me hard. Shit! He would look sexy in leather and fucking some slave while I watch.

"I think you would look good." I huskily replied as he shook his head in disbelief. He continued to walk towards the path as I jogged towards him. "What?! You don't think you look sexy?"

"It's not like that." He replied.

"Then what? Don't tell me you want to be the one bending." I smirked. " Because baby, I'll gladly bend you."

He look at me with a glare.

"It's not funny, Blake." He growled before smirking mischievously at me. "Baby? Really, aren't you moving too fast for pet names?"

"I thought we're a thing already." I shrugged.

"Wow. Do you do this with all the girls you meet?" He said plainly. "And no, we're not a thing yet." He paused. "Officially." He added.

"No." I replied. "I don't date them. It's a more a hi hello and let's fuck type of deal." I added nonchalantly making him growl.

"I don't want to hear about your sexcapades, Blake." He groaned as we exited towards a clearing. "Just keep those things to yourself."

"Unless you want me to." I grin.

"Fuck no. Not in a million years." He groans with a blush.

I chuckled at his reaction as I approached him but stopped mid way as he looked at me. Damn, I never noticed we're the fucking the same height. I'm normally looking down on people I talked to.

"Aries." I started.

"Yes." His voice was masculine enough yet I find it sexy.

"Could I ask you a favor?" He looked at me wantonly. I looked down before lifting my eyes at him once again.

"Anything." He smiled back. "Except the obvious." He added.

"The obvious?" I asked and he blushed.

"You know." He points out yet it got me confused. "Just. Just say what you want."

"Okay." I state before approaching him as I close the gap within us. "Could you ..."

"Yes."

I bite my lower lip as he look down at it with lust shining in his eyes. I smirk at his reaction.

"Give me a chance?"

He looked at me surprised before his eyes softened as he leaned over and gave my lips a quick peck.

"You taste sweet." He states.

"That's not what I asked." I glared at him as he chuckled. " I'm serious here."

"I know you are." He smirk as he wrapped his hands in between mine. Lacing our fingers together before pulling each one to place a chaste kiss on each of my hand. "I'm afraid, Blake."

"Afraid of what?" I asked as I felt comfortable in his grasp admiring our tangled fingers that oddly fit each other.

"Of you." He states making me frown. I know I'm a terrifying Alpha but I'm not that around him, am I? Is it because I might blew a fuse when we argue? Did we argue a lot? Did I hit him before?

"Oh shit! I didn't hit you before did I? Please don't tell me I hit you before." I panicked as he grasped our hands making me calm down.

"What? No you didn't hit me." He replied surprised. "Why did you... Oh, Blake." His eyes softened as let's go of our hands and wrapped his arms around me. "You overthink you jock." He soothed me.

"Wh-what?" I croaked.

"Clearly you didn't heard me properly." He states as he grabbed my shoulders with his hands as he pulled us from our hug. "You always jump to conclusions and that causes most of our misunderstandings. But what relationship doesn't."

"So we're a thing back then?" I asked and he nods. "So why are you afraid of me?"

"Listen next time, dumb jock." He flicks his finger over my forehead making me wince in pain. "I said I was afraid of you leaving."

"Why the fuck would I leave you?" I asked confused.

"Have you have hit something before coming here? I didn't seem to flick your head to cause that." He mused as I slapped his hand from the sore spot on my forehead.

"That's the thing. I kind of forgot a few things about you, about us." I stated as he narrowed his eyes at me. "Well, a lot."

"How far do you remember?" He asks as I pondered for a minute.

"Just your name and thar we're mates." I shrug as he cupped my cheeks. "What are you doing?"

"Sorry but I have to confirm something." He spoke and he stood there looking at me.

"Aries." I called and he blinked at me before sighing. "Is everything alright?"

"I hope I could say it otherwise but its not." He states. "I was hoping to sweep your feet tonight." He groans.

"We haven't mated yet." I state the obvious as his cheeks flare up.

"Sh-shut up!" He croaks as I snaked my right hand at his waist while my left cupped his nape. "What's got into you?"

"You." I smirk between his neck. "Damn. I don't know why I didn't marked you before."

"Blake, before you continue you should know that..." Aries croaked as he tried to pry my grasp over his sexy body. "Shit, did you just bit my neck."

"Yeah. So shut up." I suck over the skin of his neck before licking my way towards his earlobe. Damn, he tastes good. "Fuck, Aye. You're god damn sexy."

"Blake." He groaned pushing me away from my grasp. He's strong than I imagined yet it was a major turn on with his hands holding roughly on my arms. "Don't let your lust take over. We must talk this out..."

"Fine." I groaned as I combed my hair backward with my fingers, averting my eyes in shame. I know I was taking my lust ahead of reason. It was something I need to make for myself. "Aries."

"Yeah." He answered back.

"About what I did." I started as I averted his gaze once again but felt his hand touch my cheek making me turn my head towards him. "I... I'm sorry."

"Don't worry." He states as he lovingly caressed my cheek. "Let's get these things over with so we can resume the stuff we usually do."

"Like what?"

He smirks and kissed me.

"Like that." He grins.

"I'd like that." And I grabbed his cheek and brought his lips to mine for another kiss.
