We were at school, lunch time. I was currently sitting on Dylan's lap since he insisted. But, I could feel his 'little' member coming alive. He seemed to like this a lot.

"Are you okay? You seem quiet." Dylan says.

"I'm just enjoying my food." That wasn't it though. I hadn't really seen my family since I moved in with him. Yes it hasn't been long but I do love my parents deeply and not seeing them everyday makes me sad. I guess I'm used to seeing them everyday.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"You can tell me you know?"

"Its just-"

"Hello love birds! What's up guys?" Dylan's annoying friend, Chase, said interrupting. I think he was Dylan's Beta. Probably. I don't know, I didn't pay attention.

"Chase go away."

"Trading me for her then huh? Dylan babe, how could you? I thought you loved me. But no, you're leaving me for someone who doesn't even look happy. Oh wait now she does! Yessss! Made you smile!" I start laughing. Chase is absolutely bonkers!

"Chase, shut the fuck up."

"Dylan babe. Come on. Think of all the times we spent together." I carry on laughing. What the hell is this guy on? "Looks like I'm the one making your mate smile and laugh eh?"

"Chase." Dylan warned.

"Dude, I'm joking. So, Alexis Lee huh? Who would've thought you and Dylan would be mates? Definitely not me!"

"Why?" I ask.

"Well, I didn't think Dylan would even find his mate with his whoring around." Damn, people keep going on about his whoring around days..

"Oh, well I was pretty shocked to learn I had an idiot for a mate." I say joking around. What? I got it from Jackson at the 'meet the family' dinner.

"I am right here. You guys seem to forget I'm literally here listening to you guys bitching about me."

"Dylan, babe. We haven't forgotten you're here."

"Seriously Chase. Enough with that 'babe' stuff. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if your gay."

"You know I'm not. You know my type, I love girls with big butts and oh definitely big boobs. Rather like-"

"I dare you to finish that sentence."

"Uh, like um-"

"Exactly. Don't think about my mate like that, ever."

"Sorry boss. She's just too pretty for you." Dylan growled at Chase and I felt his chest vibrating.

"Calm down Dylan. And Chase, can you actually shut the fuck up? You're going to end up dead soon."

"We're best mates. He wouldn't kill me."

"I will if you do anything to my mate. Or even think about her in ways only I should be thinking of her."

"Okay, okay. Sorry Dyl." Chase mumbles and starts eating his food. I finish eating mine and attempt to get up. Key word, attempt. Dylan doesn't let me. He pulls me back down to his lap. "Don't go." He whispers. I had to pee though..

"But I have to pee."

"Oh. Okay." He let's me up and I quickly go and pee and walk back into the cafeteria and sit next to Chase, making Dylan not a happy bunny. He motions for me to come back to his lap and I shake my head. He growls. Chase looks up and looks between the two of us.

"You shouldn't probably make him angry. He has anger issues and gets angry easily. You seem to be making him more happy so I suggest you get your butt over there." Chase whispers and advises. I seem to be making him more happy?

"I don't wanna." I do, my wolf growls. Why does everyone growl all the time? Okay wait, don't answer that. We're all wolves. But, why do they growl at me all the time?

I sigh and get up, plonking myself on Dylan which made him happy since he was smiling. His arms wrapped around my stomach and his head went down to my neck, sniffing me. He then starts kissing my neck.

"Guys no! Stop with the PDA!" Thank you Chase!

"Hey, hey, hey!" I look away from Chase and see another guy walking up towards us with a girl. Please be his mate and not a whore.. "Soooo, this is the new Luna huh Dyl?"

"Yes she is."

"Well then, nice to meet you Alexis. I'm Callum as you might already know and I'm Third In Command. And this is my mate, Joanna."

"Nice to meet you both." They both sit down and eat their lunch too.

I was bored. Dylan wouldn't let me hang out with my friends and I felt extremely shy around Dylan's friends. Even though it was only Chase and Callum. And also Joanna.

However, Joanna and I seemed to get on. We both liked the same music and movies and we loved to read.

Soon, the bell went for the last lesson of the day. Dylan, as always, walked me to my lesson. He somehow knew my lesson schedule better than me. He kisses me on the forehead and leaves.

I walk in and sit in my usual seat. I wait for Jess to come in. We had every lesson together. Jess walks in and literally runs to the seat next to me. "Where were you at lunch? Are you ditching us for him?" Does she really think I would do that?

"Do you really think I would do that..?"

"I don't know, Lex."

"Well, Dylan wouldn't let me hang out with you guys so I was stuck with him, Chase and Callum. Although I met Joanna who is Callum's mate and she seems cool."

"Oh, we were all beginning to think you were ditching us.."

"I would never.. But every time I argue with him, he always wins. So, there's no point me in arguing."

"Lex! You can't just let him win all the time. Mates are supposed to be equal, Alpha or not. You should get a say in things okay?"

"Yeah but-"

"No buts Lex. This isn't fair on you."

"I know."

"So, has he kissed you?"

"Yes."

"Was it good."

"Definitely."

"Nice. So, wanna hang out after school?"

"Yes, of course! If Dylan let's me.."

"No, you are making your own choice. You can't let him decide your life."

"I guess.."

"Good, we're going shopping!" I groan. "Lexi, I'm kidding. We're going to watch a movie."

"Oh good. Just us or..?"

"Just us of course. We need some bestie bonding time!"

***

After the lesson, Jess and I walked out of class. We walked out of the school but I was stopped when I was thrown over a shoulder. Obviously Dylan right, who else?

"Dylan?"

"Where were you going?"

"Jess and I were going to go to the movies."

"Yeah, put her down." Jess says. I'm guessing she was following us since I knew Dylan was probably carrying me to his can and his legs were moving so I'm pretty sure we were going somewhere. Either way, Jess followed us.

"No."

"Why won't you let me go anywhere?" I speak. I should probably stand up for myself right? Like Jess said, we're supposed to be equal and right now he's not letting that happen.

I feel trapped when I probably shouldn't. Its like I can't go anywhere else but the pack house. His pack house more like.

"Because I don't want you leaving me."

"Oh."

"Don't guilt trip her into staying with you." Jess yells. God, she's angry.

"I am not guilt tripping her into staying."

"Uh, Dylan? Can you put me down please?" He sighs and puts me down. I'm now standing in front of him and he looks angry, most likely at Jess. "I'm going to the cinema with Jess." I state.

"No you're not."

"Yes I am."

"No."

"Dylan, we're supposed to be equal.. You're making all the decisions and your aren't letting me have a say in anything. Its like you don't want me to have fun. I'm not allowed to hang out with my friends, I'm not allowed to go out with them, I'm not even allowed to go out for a run without consulting you. I feel like I'm your.. Prisoner."

His angry eyes softened as he processed all I said. Its true, I did feel like I'm his prisoner. He didn't let me do anything and I just felt like he locked me up from the world ever since we found out we were mates.

He puts his hands on either side of my face and looked deeply into my eyes. "I'm sorry, again. I just don't want you leaving me and now that I found you, I don't want to let you go."

"You have to let me do something on my own. Or at least with my friends."

"I don't want anything happening to you."

"Well, I can protect myself and they aren't my friends for nothing. We look out for each other."

"You better make sure she's safe or else you're dead." He says, glaring at Jess.

"Of course I will, she's my best friend and like my sister. I'm not just going to let anything happen to her. What kind of person do you think I am?"

"Look, I was just making sure okay?"

"Fine. Lex, I'll go wait over there." She points somewhere and I tell her okay. She walks off and I look back at Dylan who still had his hands on my face.

"Be safe okay?"

"Of course I will, dad."

"I just want to make sure you're okay."

"But you're acting like my dad. I don't want you acting like my dad, I want you acting like my mate."

"I am, I'm looking out for you like a mate does."

"You're acting like a possessive jerk."

"Well I am a possessive jerk." He leans down and kisses me passionately. He bites my bottom lip but I still deny him access. He groans and pulls back. I grin at him. "You're mean."

"Nuh uh. I'll see you later, Dylan."

"See you, love. Be safe."

***

We were in the middle of a movie. We were watching Captain America 2. I really wanted to see it and so did Jess.

"Chris Evans is really fit." I whisper as Steve- or Chris Evans as his real name is- comes through the room in a vest, showing off those gorgeous muscles of his.

"I know!" She whispers back. Somekne sat next to me but I didn't pay attention until they took my hand in theirs. I recognised the person as Dylan as I felt tingles. I turned to him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Making sure you're safe."

"You really couldn't just leave me for a few hours?"

"No."

"Shh!" A few people in front of us say. I mumble apologies to them and turn my attention back to the movie and taking my hand back.

***

After the movie finished I was in a bad mood. Why couldn't he just let me have fun with Jess for a few hours? Why did he have to follow me?

I bet he heard that comment about Chris Evans being fit. My wolf says laughing.

Oh come on, Chris Evans is really fit though!

I know.

Dylan took hold of my hand and we walked in a completely different direction to Jess. "Wait Dylan."

"What?"

"I didn't say goodbye to Jess." He rolls his eyes and I run after Jess. "I'm sorry he followed us."

"Don't worry, remember how Kyle was like that for a bit? He followed us everywhere! I understand where Dylan is coming from okay? But he can't keep you cooped up."

"I know, Jess."

"Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself."

"I won't." We hug and pull back. "Is Kyle picking you up?"

"Yeah he is."

"I'll see you tomorrow then."

"See you." I walk back to Dylan who immediately grabs m hand again.

We get into his car but he doesn't start the engine. "What were you going to tell me at lunch? You know, before Chase interrupted." I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. I think back to lunch. I realised I was going to tell him I was as because I hadn't seen my parents yet and that I missed them. How could he have remembered that? It was like four hours ago.

"I was just going to say that I missed my parents and I wanted to see them." I mumble, looking out the window. He places his hand on my thigh and rubs up and down.

"Do you want to see them?"

"Yeah."

"How about tomorrow, after school?"

"Really?" I turn my head to look at him. He smiled at me.

"Of course. If it makes you happy then it'll make me happy."

"Thank you!" I hug him, awkwardly because we're in a car, and he chuckles and hugs back. I then pull back and strap myself in. He starts the car and we head off back home.
