8. Noah vs Damien (II)

ASTRID

I pulled back from the kiss after a bit of struggle with Damien.

He has gone mad! I’ve always known he needed help but this was way beyond my imagination.

I wiped my mouth with the back of my palm but he sounded pleased by his action considering the look on his face.

“Taste sweet,” he smirked.

“You are a jerk!”

“I’m stating my claims and you better start adjusting and getting used to it because I’m not leaving you anytime soon.”

“You are sick,” I said through my teeth.

“The more you fight it, the more attractive you become. Once again as I’ve said, you should have shown this side of you more. It would have been easy to fall in love with you sooner,” he retorted.

It was usual to argue with him. He already made up his mind and there’s nothing I can do besides ignore him and pretend like I didn’t have any of this conversation with him.

I turned to leave but the door was locked.

“Open the door,” I said to him.

I was surprised at my courage too because I wasn’t usually like this. I would have cowered but I wasn’t.

“I don’t mind spending the rest of the day here with you. I know you don’t mind either. Maybe when you embrace it we will leave this place,” he replied.

My ankle was hurting and I wasn’t supposed to be exerting pressure that would make me feel sick but he wasn’t helping the case with how he was acting.

“Astrid!” I heard Noah’s voice.

“Astrid!” He called again. “Are you in there?”

“It seems your knight in shining armour is here now. I didn’t take you for someone who would find another just a few days after I dumped your ass,” Damien snickered.

“Go to hell,” I replied to him.

“I’m in here! The door is locked and he won’t let me out,” I replied to Noah.

“Wait a minute, I’m coming,” Noah said.

Damien burst into a fit of laughter.

“Wow. He’s going to come save you. You fucked him, didn’t you?”

“That’s the only reason he’s trying so hard to rescue you and I don’t blame him. I’ve fucked you and I can tell you are good with that naiveness.”

“You need help! If you think that you are mentally stable because you aren’t walking naked or speaking incoherently like a mad person then you need help! Proper help!”

The door finally burst open and I heaved a sigh of relief. Noah walked in with a frown on his face.

“It seems the hero has come but that’s not why I’m concerned. We need to speak,” Damien said to Noah.

Noah took my hands in his. Instead of replying to Damien, he chose to walk away but Damien stopped us.

“I fucking said I wanted to speak to you,” Damien growled.

“And do I fucking want to speak to you? Not at all. You might as well get the fuck out of my face because if I don’t want to speak to a brat like you then I don’t want to. Don’t piss me off,” he chided.

“A brat? That’s what you are. You fucking just came to this school and you chose to act like you are on top? Do you know who I am and what….”

Noah cuts Damien off. “I don’t fucking give a fuck about who you are or who your dad is. I don’t care if you’ve been ruling the school before I came and I’ve made it clear to you, I’m not scared of brats like you and the only reason I haven’t dealt with you is because I’m trying to keep my head low so you might as well save yourself the stress.”

“And also, stay away from my girl. If you want to bother her then you will have to face me and I mean it,” Noah warned.

Once again he was calling me his girl leaving me confused again. We weren’t even friends to begin with but when it’s time to defend me, he claims I then goes back to being cold.

“You must be sick to think I’d let you come here and claim a girl I already fucked,” Damien uttered.

Everything happened so fast that Damien was holding his nose after Noah punched him so hard.

I pulled Noah towards me not wanting him to fight. This would make it the second time that they were fighting because of me.

“How dare you!” Damien attempted to throw hands but stopped.

“We won’t fight here,” he nodded with his hand, patting his hand by his side.

“How about we meet on the field later today when school closes and settle this once and for all?”

“I want her. She’s mine and I also want you out of this school. I refuse to share the same space as you and the thing is, I can’t leave. I won’t leave. Even the principal can’t kick me out so what are you going to do?” He sounded cocky as he spoke.

“And so you think I’m scared to meet up with you? If that's what you want, that's fine by me. I will be waiting for you later today and you better don’t cry by the time I’m done with you,” Noah retorted.

They were both male alphas and it was only normal for them to battle it out to prove who was stronger but I didn’t want Noah doing this.

Why? Because Damien has the upper hand. In no time his minions will attack Noah and even when the school authority gets involved, Noah will be the one getting punished and not Damien.

It has happened before. The weak never get justice and although Noah wasn’t an omega or a weak person, it still wouldn’t be in his favour.

“Alright then, we will meet on the field,” Damien said.

Noah pulled me with him out of the lab.
