As I sat at the back of the classroom, I could feel Star's eyes on me. She was confused, hurt, and a little angry. I knew I was being unfair, but I couldn't help it. I didn't know how to process these feelings, these emotions that seemed to be bubbling up inside me.
The teacher began to speak, but I wasn't listening. My mind was elsewhere, thinking about Star and the way she made me feel. I glanced over at her, and our eyes met. She looked away, her face set in a determined expression.
I sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. Why was I doing this to her? To us? I didn't know, but I knew I had to stop it. I had to get my emotions under control.
But it was too late. Star had already gotten up and was walking towards me. "Storm, can I talk to you?" she asked, her voice low and even.
I shook my head, trying to ignore her. But she didn't leave. She just stood there, looking at me with those big, sad eyes.
"Storm, please," she said, her voice cracking. "What's going on? Why are you avoiding me?"
I felt a surge of irritation, and before I could stop myself, I pushed her away. "Just leave me alone, Star," I snapped. The Force was so strong that she hit her body on the wall, causing a nosebleed.
The classroom fell silent, and I knew I had gone too far. Star's eyes widened, and she stumbled backward, her face pale.
I panicked, realizing what I had done. "Take her to the hospital," I barked at the nearest pack member, my voice cold and detached.
As Star was led away, I felt a twinge of...something. It wasn't guilt, exactly. I just didn't like seeing Star hurt.
But I pushed the feeling aside, telling myself I was just being ridiculous. I was the Alpha, and I had more important things to worry about.
Like avoiding my mate. Nice move Storm light is pissed at us. I saw my brother walking up to me looking angry, and said Storm how could you hurt star like that? What has gotten into you? You have always been so protective of her and today you hurt her yourself he asked, making me hate myself so much, not now rain please and walked off.
The rest of the day was a blur. I went through the motions, attending classes and training sessions, but my mind was elsewhere. I couldn't shake the feeling that I had hurt Star, that I had pushed her away.
When the day finally ended, I made my way back to the pack house, feeling exhausted and drained. I knew I had to talk to Star, to apologize and make things right.
But as I entered the pack house, I saw Star sitting on the couch, a look of determination on her face. "We need to talk, Storm," she said, her voice firm.
I nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation. I knew I was in trouble.
Here's the revised version:
I sat down next to Star, my heart racing with anticipation. The pack house was quiet, the only sound was the soft hum of the TV in the background. Star's eyes were fixed on mine, her expression a mix of anger and sadness.
"Storm, what's going on with you?" she asked, her voice low and even. "Why did you push me away like that?" Why have you been avoiding me?
I looked away, feeling a surge of defensiveness. "I don't know what you're talking about," I muttered, "I haven't been avoiding you.
Star's hand reached out, and she gently turned my face towards hers. "Don't lie to me, Storm. I know you're stressed about something. You're the new Alpha, and it's a lot to take in. But that shouldn't be enough reason to be acting this way with me.
I sighed, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. She didn't know. She didn't know that I was struggling with feelings for her, that I was pushing her away because I was scared. I mean how will she even know? I need to apologize to her first, I thought to myself.
"I'm sorry, Star," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I just...I need some space, okay? I'm feeling overwhelmed, and I don't know how to handle it. I'm really sorry about hurting you today. I lost control of knight she has been on edge lately making me act out, thanks a lot storm for using me to save your ass! Knight said, sorry girl but you have to take one for the team, I responded.
Star's expression softened, and she nodded. "I understand, Storm. But you don't have to go through this alone. I'm here for you, always."
I felt a lump form in my throat, and I looked away, trying to compose myself. Why did she have to be so understanding? Why did she have to be so perfect?
The room seemed to spin around me, and I felt myself choked. I know Star but please I need space okay.? I just need time alone to figure things out please..
Okay storm I will give you a bit of time.. I'm always here.. with that I turn and run off into the woods changing into Knight needing air.
