I Scored Myself A Mate

The chill of the night intensified as he fell and his hair, usually hiding his shy features was now floating, strands leaving his face and turning upwards. His shirt got raised reavilng his skinny torso and he felt very much like Alice as she fell in the scary and peculiar rabbit hole. 

Even though he believed that Luke would catch him his heart was still racing. The uncertainty, that rush was exciting. Maybe he was still hazy and crazy from the drugs but as he feel, fast and messily everything seemed really clear.

He didn't want to let him go. Even if Mikael's words were true Alexander would do everything he could to make Luke change his mind. If that meant him being the small and lost Alice so be it. No matter what he wanted, to help Luke, even if his love was not returned that would be the second best thing that could happen.

So the moment he landed in his embrace, Luke panting and staring at him like he was completely crazy Alexander smiled. He raised his head to meet his eyes, take them in and enjoy his handsome face as he asked for air. He had tried really hard to reach him before he fell. Just so he could land in his comforting embrace. 

"This time, you caught me" he said happily and Luke sighed, rolling his eyes. 

"What is it with me and crazy people ?" He mumbled in distress and the teen chuckled. 

"So aren't you going to let me down?" Alexander asked him but Luke did not reply. He looked around, trying to see if anyone's watching. When he made sure they were alone his eyes shone silver and with a very skillful jump Alexander was once again in his room's balcony.

How superficial could he be to get wooed so easily by a mere display of power? All Luke had done was return him to his room but his heart was beating like crazy. He had seemed incredibly strong at that moment, almost like a superhero and Alexander couldn't stop his eyes from sparkling like a lovestruck girl. 

"Now I can let you down" he said and walked towards the rails. Again he wanted to leave. Alexander had just jumped off a balcony for him but Luke was not even mentioning it.

"Will you leave? Just like that?" He asked him. "From where you stood and judging from your powers you obviously heard what Mikael and I talked about. Both subjects." Alexander said. He needed a reason to keep him here so they could talk. He had to be facing him, that was the only way for him to know his true feelings, understand what was going on. If what Mikael said was true his eyes, his expression would show it. Alexander was confident. He was sure he could see behind Luke's lies. Even if he tried to hide it or wore the most horrible mask Alexander believed there was something, something in the way he talked, or the way he looked when he uttered harsh words he didn't mean that said the truth. He would desperately search for that. 

"Yeah, I stayed long enough. I mean Mikael described everything greatly." Luke said. His back was turned on Alexander, the only view his black T-shirt matching his raven hair. 

"Look at me and say that to my face." Alexander provoked him.

"What would change? Do you want me to break your heart too? Wasn't the first time enough? Won't it be worse hearing it from me?" Luke said and he scoffed, he would say anything just to make Alexander give up. He had heard everything. Even the story about the White Wolf. If he stayed with him his secret would get exposed even more easily. He could put him in real danger. Now not just his selfdestructiveness was getting in the way but Alexander's safety. What if something happened and his cover blew up? Then Luke wouldn't be able to just steal a glance of him during dinner. He would be locked somewhere, forgotten and alone. He wouldn't allow that to happen. 

"Yes! I need to know from you. Turn around and look at me. Say it in my face stop being a wuss" Alexander kept provoking him, pushing him to face his eyes. 

"Fine then" Luke exclaimed still staring at the garden. "There is no way someone like me could ever be interested in..." He began saying and turned finally around, his eyes meeting with Alexander's. That boy was a genius. He knew this would happen. He was aware that Luke's words would get stuck in his throat, cling to it so they wouldn't hurt him. He was ready to tell him that he would never be with someone like him but he couldn't. He had been charmed by him. So badly that his whole body was frozen to the point of being scared even uttering a malicious comment. Alexander what have you done to me? Luke wondered. 

"Keep going." The boy said. "I want to hear it. Or is maybe that you can't say it. That you can't lie to me. I happened to hear you are quite the skilled liar so come on. Say it! Say how you don't like me. Lie about not wanting me! Spit it out" he shouted and Luke sighed. He kicked the railings, the black painted metal making an extended sound.

"I can't be with you simply because your life will be horrible with me. I can't be a good boyfriend. I don't know how to. Also Alexander I am supposed to be an Alpha. I need offsprings and if not that I need a strong partner to support me. You fainted from running! Can't you see how this won't work out? It will just be harder for you."

No matter how hard he tried to be strong it still hurt. Hearing the fact that he couldn't be what Luke needed was painful enough to make him want to cry. Right now he knew that nothing would change, he was indeed weak, trapped in a messed up body and an extra burden was not what Luke needed. There was only one option for him and right now he was willing to take it, if that meant being by his side. 

"You want someone strong? I can do that. I will release the spell" The boy announced.
