The Alpha Who Cursed His Mate novel Chapter 13

"Argh," I yell and sit back, releasing him whilst I cling onto my goods.

He turns around, and we glare at each other, panting. We both have black eyes, bloody noses, and bruises on different areas of our faces.

"Magnus, what has gotten into you? And Moss, you are new here. You should know better about getting into fights. Now both of you see the school nurse and report to the principal's office."

"Yes, Mr Tilley," Moss and me grizzle.

Mr Tilley sends Flint with us to make sure Moss and I didn't get into another fight along the way. We walk through the corridors, and it horrifies students at the sight of us as we walk past the windows. Nina sees from her class and races out with a gasp. I smile and feel warm as she races out to check on me. My mouth drops open when she races up to Moss and wraps her dainty little arms around him. I can hear my growl across half the school grounds. Nina steps back from Moss.

"What happened to you?" she asks, staring at me, then at Moss.

"I was in PE training, and that guy was unfriendly and tried to knock me over when we were running laps. We ended up in a fight. I've never met the guy before, so I don't know what his problem is," he says, glaring at me.

Nina marches up towards me in anger. 'How dare you! How dare you get into a fight with Moss like that! Just because he is my friend and treats me with kindness, unlike someone else, I know Magnus! Does not give you the right to destroy another friendship!" She storms back to Moss; she takes a handkerchief from her pocket and gently dabs the blood away from his face. He cups his hand over hers and gives her a sweet, brief peck on the tip of her nose.

"Thank you, Nina." he says, smiling down at her.

My blood is boiling. I felt so angry that I could spontaneously combust and take half the school buildings with me. Flint places his hand on my shoulder.

"Best to just see the nurse. Standing here watching is only going to make matters worse."

I march past them in anger and stomp into the Nurse's station.

"Magnus, what on Earth happened to you?" Nurse Carla asks.

"Got into a fight."

"Well. Who with?"

"The new guy, Moss,"

"Where is he? Did he sustain any injuries?"

"Probably a few extra bruises than I, but he already has someone attending to him."

"Take a seat."

"Oh Boo-boo," Claire blushes. I place my arm over her shoulder and pull her close to my side. Josie brings a tray of lunch over for me.

"I heard you got into a fight with Moss. You know Mum and Dad will flip beans when they see your face, right?"

"Yeah, I know, but that's the least of my problems," I say, glancing at Nina. My fist slams down onto the table as I see Nina and Moss kissing. Everyone at the table jumps.

"Boo-boo, what's wrong?"

Josie gives me a sympathetic, knowing look.

"They forgot to put the cheese in my roll," I lie.

"Oh, here have mine then," she offers and swaps them over. She has been so infatuated with me that she even ordered the same lunch as me. May joins us, angrily plonks her food tray down in front of us, and bites into her ham roll as if she was biting the head off a small critter. She glares at Claire and chews loudly.

"Gee, everyone is such a grump today," Paul says with a nervous laugh.

We sit there in silence for the rest of lunch. The bell goes, and I realise I have Science with Nina now. Moss walks her to science and gives her a long kiss that involves eating her face. He smiles at me and leaves to go to his next class.
