3. THE CATALYST

VIVIAN'S POV

The next day after school hours, Elena bought a brew mixed with vodka and gin. The gin and vodka combination was far too lethal for my poor liver, so I ended up puking.

By noon, I was very weak and exhausted. Creed was so irritated. Several times, he attempted to stop any guy that approached me.

I was currently in the cafeteria sulking like a kid. Elena was making fun of my sudden behavior.

"It is not a laughing matter. I would rather not have a possessive mate. At least for once he should learn to be polite towards other people," I said.

"Creed has never been great. I don't think he can ever be of any good. You better petition the moon goddess that his character changes," Elena replied, and I took a deep breath.

"Oh! Here he comes," I muttered to myself. I shut my eyes and trusted that Creed would bring my lunch, since he requested I should wait for him at the cafeteria.

When Creed came over with my lunch, I thanked him for the kind gesture and started eating. I just felt hopeless when he was around.

Would it be advisable for me to be having this impression about my mate?

As though detecting my misery, Creed grabbed his scarf from the table and attempted to leave.

"I need to leave," He muttered and stood up. However, I unexpectedly got him and pulled him to sit close to me.

That wasn't me. My wolf had in a real sense dominated me and I had zero control over my sudden behavior.

"You're staying. Continue staying glued to that seat, got it?" My inner Wolf echoed.

I turned Creed on, and I could not prevent my inner wolf from aggravating my plight.

"Can I get you some drinks?" Creed asked

"Yes, preferably juice" I replied

After several minutes of battling my inner wolf, I figured out how to curb her and recapture control. Everyone was looking intensely towards our sitting area.

While Creed had gone to get the juice I struck a side conversation with Elena.

"I can't wait to find my mate," Elena sighed as she munched on a large chunk of grilled sandwich.

"It's not the way you're thinking. In real life, it's totally different. You think you'll find Mr. Right, however, you end up with a possessive Alpha who won't even let you breathe while being so callow and insecure," I said out of anger.

Creed suddenly approached mumbling a few words as he continuously shook his head.

"Please accept my apologies Vivian, I just cannot resist the urge. My inner wolf is too strong for my liking. And as you know, Alpha wolves are so difficult to control. Please accept my heartfelt apologies," He muttered.

"I ought to leave you now in peace," he said in a soft tone and left.

I gazed at his manner of departure. I abruptly felt cold. Void. For what reason did he cause me to feel so finished?

While he's being an over possessive jerk, I simply feel good and now that he's gone, I feel empty. I really wanted him to return.

"Creed! Hold on please," I shouted at him and stood up from my seat. I ran out of the cafeteria and went after him……………….

"I've finally tracked down my mate, boy," I heard a familiar voice say.

I could detect that voice from anyplace. Although I've just known him for a few weeks, his voice causes me to feel invigorated. Hearing his wonderful, profound voice causes my body to ignite with want and my wolf becomes a lot harder to control.

"It seems you're the happiest man alive since you've found your mate, someone you've been searching for since your mid-teens," Oliver replied to Creed.

"Definitely, I know, however she detests me, she really can't stand me. " Creed sounded so crushed. My inner wolf whimpered from inside me, yet I pushed her to the rear to be controlled by my wits. With that being done, I could now concentrate properly while watching Creed.

"That sucks, brother. How did you make her hold you in contempt?" Oliver asked Creed.

"I'm excessively possessive, yet I cannot resist her. She's absolutely wonderful. She has the smoothest dark brown colored hair and the most striking blue eyes. I simply need to gaze into them day in, day out. She has flawless smooth skin and her body. Oh my God, don't even let me go on her body. She's ideally suited for me and I've just wrecked the whole thing," Creed said.

"Hey, come on man why sound like an infatuated bitch? You're a real goddamn Alpha for God's sake! Stop acting weird, bro," Oliver said.

"Oliver! I can't help it. I find it distasteful, having such whimsy feelings, and yet I love it. I love the reality that I've found my potential mate yet, how might I persuade her I'm not as awful as she suspects I am?" Creed muttered.

"Fella, you are an alpha. Tell her to be a decent little mate, okay?" Oliver said.

Creed snarled, his eyes turned red as he took Oliver by the neck and pinned him against the wall.

"I have more regard for her than anything else! Try not to talk as if she's some slave or that she's underneath me, we're joined to each other. She is my Luna, and you will regard her as nothing more, nothing less. Do you understand dawg?".

Creed stared at him with bloodshot eyes. Oliver attempted to say something, however all that was coming from his mouth were coughing sounds as he gasped for breath. I needed to step in before Creed ended up killing him.

"Creed! What's wrong with you? Release him before you end up hurting someone!" I shouted, hurrying towards the pair. Creed immediately dropped Oliver to the ground and folded his arms over me.

He buried his head in my neck and breathed in my scent. I just let him. He was trying to keep calm.

"Please accept my apologies," Creed murmured. "I didn't think that you should at any point see me lose my cool. I'm really sorry." He said, and I nodded.

"Creed, we want to take things at a slow and steady pace. I don't despise you, however I am really out on this volatile attitude of yours," I told him.

"Alright, I surmise this isn't the most ideal chance to let you know that you'll be moving in with me when school closes. Before you contend this I'm letting you know now, I won't take no for an answer. I want you to be with me. I won’t have the option to eat or rest without you being close to me……."

"What? Are you high or something?".

"Shhh" He hissed

"Don't contend with this, please. You can take a brief trip and see your siblings. I can consent to that, but at no instance do I want you to leave me". He whispered and pulled me closer to him.

"Is that all? It seems you're moving way too quick," I said.

"As I would like to think, it's not quick enough. I haven't even kissed you yet. " Creed grinned and licked his lips. I blushed and immediately turned away from him.

"Could you get to kiss me once you quit being so uppity? Beginning with allowing me to live with my brother. You can't take me away from him," I said, which made Creed go nuts.

"Then I'm moving in with you!" He said with an air of authority

"Remain with your own pack, Creed," I told him.

"You don't have to tell me what I'm supposed to do," he glared at me once more.

"Alright," I gasp. I realized I needed to surrender, since I would definitely not win this contention. Creed sneered down at me and touched my cheek with his warm hands.

"What are you doing?" I inquired.

He growled and kissed my forehead.

"Nothing," He muttered. I moved some steps backward and attempted to move back, however he kept me set up. I frowned at his behavior and he laughed.

"I need to kiss you," He begged. I felt shy.

"Not here" I protested. He grinned and kissed my forehead once more.

"Maybe later," He whispered. The very thought of kissing Creed caused me to feel nauseous.

Towards the closing time at school, I was feeling better.

Creed wasn't so bossy as he had been the first time we met before. He had really been alright.

He had recently been in his own little air pocket. As for any other guy who might attempt to address him, he just discourteously disregarded them. I was strolling to my vehicle when Creed found me.

"You were supposed to wait for me at the locker room," He muttered and embraced me from behind. It embarrassed me as a group of students gazed at us. I bet it befuddled them concerning why Creed was nestling with the new girl in school.

"I want to return home. Elena and I are having a sleep over this evening. Presumably she'll be bringing Tyler along," I said.

"Alright, I'll meet you at your home. I want to pack some clothes," He told me.

"Were you really serious about moving in with me?" I asked, stunned.

"Serious as a heart attack, Viv. I cannot wait to have you in my arms this evening. Until then..." He chuckled and tenderly kissed my cheek.

"I'll see you later, baby girl," he said, being overly excited. I watched him stroll across the parking lot and get into his vehicle before I also mounted my bike and advanced towards home.
