JAYDEN'S P. O. V
Talking to his best friend Leam about a new project they were delegated to complete before their internships. The absolute last thing he expected from the day was the hand that swung at him. Fuck. Who the hell dared? Lucas? The hell! Facing the fuming alpha that looks to be seconds away from shifting in front of a human.
"What the fuck was that for?"
Leam helped him get up and they faced the alpha, the human got in front of him to prevent future attacks. There is no way he can get his best friend involved in his world, he will just get hurt that way and if that happens his brother will never forgive him.
"This is the engineering faculty and you just assaulted the faculty head!"
Still shocked. Jayden controlled his stance and acknowledged the fact he just got the punched shitless. Regardless of his anger and fury the secret of their native existence is far more important than the disarray here between them especially when there was a human literally between them. Leam was an angry puppy it was as if he was the one that got punched in the face but that was Leam he was defensive to a fault, his safety. Pulling the angry human far away from the furious alpha, for peace sake he turned Leam around to face him stopping him from thinking or doing anything stupid.
"Leam I will call to give you information about the about the assignment and a list of places to apply for interviews later. Leave us alone, please."
"But he just-"
"Leam. Trust me. It is fine. It is probably a misunderstanding or something that warrants such a level of violence."
Nodding Leam left accepting Jayden's confidence, he had to assure the man that he can handle the douche who came out of nowhere.
.
The last thing he expected was the man to hand him Leo's phone, confused he accepted it. When Lucas turned to leave his shock eased and he stopped Lucas. His instincts telling him something was seriously wrong, could it be his Leo? Despite the man punching him on his damned face, the most important thing is making sure his fated mate is alright before contemplating any type of revenge.
"What the hell was that for and what the fuck is this?"
"I warned you of the beating you will receive if you were to dare to mess with Leo's emotions. Consider the single punch a courtesy, never show your face near Leo again. Oh and the phone keep it, he does not see the use keeping your memory around now."
What the fuck was this guy talking about? Jayden's confusion resonated within him because the alpha continued.
"Dude he saw the pictures trending of you and some misfit you screwed. You done fucked up man. Leo is not one to easily forgive and in this situation I do not see any reason for him to forgive you."
"Screwed? Forgive me for what? And what pictures are you talking about?"
"Here. Look."
"That's Shawn. And of me. Together?"
"No shit."
The picture was indeed incriminating and he was asleep blankets covering his lower half but he was naked, next to him was also a naked Shawn. Sleeping. In Leo sheets? What the hell. Shit, what must his mate be thinking? He has to rectify this, this is not what his mate think he would ever in a million years want to do...
"This shit is photo shopped. I do not know how but I know I would never cheat on Leo, he is my fated mate. And look... This picture was taken in Leo's room, those are his sheets."
"That means..."
"You all jumped into conclusions. Where is Leo?"
"They went to Xander's apartment."
"You wrong... They went to the Wonder Bar. Xander called sounding really panicked, he said they got separated. Leo is drunk and drunk at time means possible trouble. Your man is in trouble common hustle. Move it. Xander is shit worried and his blaming himself wherever he is. So I suggest you ladies pull up you big boy panties and hustle! Lift your legs guys we do not have all day, hop in my car I will drive us there. The most important thing right now is to find Leo and you two can continue your chit chat later."
Noah arrived at the packed club and unlike other nights, the man was dead serious. He must be worried about Xander, the enigma and with that extension Leo. That there was evident by the disregard of laws of that ensues road safety.
The club was packed and his fated or Xander was nowhere to be seen. Stress made his adrenaline rush down his spine.
'No. Stop. No. Let me go.'
Everything in this part of the club smells disgusting, alcohol, vomit, pee and the scent of fluids encouraged him to decrease the extent of how must he is willing to smell. Unfortunately without his abilities finding a drunk Leo proved to be very difficult and it didn't help the vile scent was getting to him. During his search he saw a man trying to force himself on a drunk, unwilling person although he was desperate to find Leo he could not in good consciousness leave the molestation to happen
He banged the man's head on the wall. Damn he must have misjudged the proximity between the drunk ass and the smaller man. The smaller man almost followed judging by his unsteady stance, almost hitting the questionable ground. Thankfully his adrenaline and instincts worked together to catch him. That is when he realized he just saved his Leo from hitting the foul grounds. His wolf sneered at what could have happened. Growling, his wolf wanted this human to forfeit his life for touching his fated and trying to force himself on him.
"Ahh."
He held his head as if trying to stop the constant swimming and his full attention followed his fated. He wants to get him out of here but Leo is still drunkenly fighting him.
"Leo. Shit. Don't worry I got you."
"No. No. Let me go. No."
Tears soaked his t-shirt and he held on to hand and kissed it reassuring his fated.
"It is me, Jayden. It's me your Jay, baby."
"Jay. Jay."
This was the second time he blacked out in a span to twenty minutes. What if he was late? What if the man managed to defile his fated? What if Leo called out his name and he was nowhere to be seen? What if Leo hates him after tonight?

LEO'S P. O. V
2 days later
Leo woke up warm in large comfortable bed in arms with... It took him a minute to realize that hot incredibly warm body belonged to-
Suddenly jumping up as it he has been burnt, he suddenly got light headed and used his hands to balance on Jayden.
"Leo. Are you fine? You ran a slight fever."
Jayden checked on him as if all was forgiven. He remembers everything and remembering how tender and loving he is hurts more because he still cheated on him.
"Stop! We. Done."
Shit he really fell for a cheater, gosh his an idiot to never have seen the signs of a cheat. His head and heart hurts so bad that he cannot stand this alphas presence right now.
"Leo."
"Let me go. My head hurts. My heart hurts. Seeing makes me hurt. Stay away from me."
"Leo."
"What?!"
Suddenly he realized what helped him balance grew in length under his touch. When he realized he held onto this man's.... His face flushed a perfect shade of pink, he did not know what to do from here... Jayden was not complaining and that messed with his mind more because he did not know what to do, in his head they are done.
"Shit! I am so sorry."
He apologised absolutely modified, this counts as the worst and embarrassing break ups known to mankind.
"You still touching it."
Goodness still?! Jayden winked and the man unlock a new shade of embarrassment this man did not have the privilege to see.
"Yeah. Right. Sorry. Um. I. It is getting hot. I am leaving. No. I have got to get going. Bye."
A hand stopped him and he tried his level best not to look down. Eye contact, Leo. Eye contact. His body still weakened and it took everything not to jump his bones? Eat him up like his own personalized Thunder dome ice cream, eye contact dammit. Leo you must be mad. Angry. He cheated. You hurt. He cheated. It is over. Do not cry. He cheated. It is not your fault. He cheated. Hold your tears back. His a cheater.
"This is your room."
"I will go to Xander's apartment."
"He took a trip with Noah to attend a wedding or something I am not in the slightest interested in."
"Then you get out."
"In this state?"
"Yes. You deserve each second of that. I knew it was going to be more challenging for us to work but you messed up. You were not faithful- you are an asshat! Dammit you cheated on me! Hell if I care about your problem- in fact bare the aftermath."
"You not that cruel."
"Wanna bet- asshole?"
He smirked but then he realized Jayden still held on to his arm.
"I bet you do not have proof of that."
"Oh yeah? I will be right back. It was all over the Newsfee-… Insta… Face.... You took it down. Get out! I do not have time for this mental fuck!"
"Here is my phone."
"What do you expect me to do with your phone?"
"The picture you looking for is there."
He took the phone and when he saw the picture that brought him so must hurt, he slammed his phone on the alphas chest.
"Take this. Bye!"
"This is still your room."
Leo, just did not want Jayden to stand before him and disrespect him by lying.
"I know it is. Now get out!"
"Stop being suborn and look at the picture, it is clearly photo shopped. Look."
The sheet, curtains were his. This was a picture without the disgusting home wrecker. He took the picture of the handsome alpha when they started their thing. The third time he was horny, he decided to call Jayden to come over and after their marathon. Leo woke up earlier and saw how perfect his fated looks. He took the picture to have something to masturbate to. Shawn clearly tried to hide the focal parts, wait Shawn? That douche has his phone and he clearly does not know how Jayden's bedroom looks like. Fuck he jumped the gun. That makes Jayden is innocent? Dammit. His going to pay for that accusation and maybe the picture thing. Mhmm... His going to pay for that...
"Shit. Jayden. What happened to your face?"
"Lucas jumped into the same conclusion as you. Here take your phone, it is yours and don't you ever disrespect me like that again. This phone and everything I give you are gifts, I do not want them returned even when you are angry. Got it? (Leo nods) One last thing, I hope you do not have to walk anywhere tomorrow."
Shit there was no escape, his body has already submitted to his heated gaze making him melt on the spot.
"I am sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, putting my life in danger after that and not believing you."
"I got punched, accused and I had to deal with an annoying Shawn who destroyed your old phone."
"I said I am sorry. You can punish me, please."
"Deal. Apology accepted. Now before we start. Hands. Perhaps, me binding you will teach you to wait for me to relieve you..."
"Jayden."
"Say it."
"Please. Make me yours. I want you to make me yours, please. I should have heard you out now something bad almost happened to me. I was scared, if it wasn't for you- please make me yours I want to belong to you, alone.
Next time I have a problem I will come to you, mm first. I am sorry, for the trouble you have been through because of my jealousy and insecurity. I love you. Please do not be mad at me. I do not know what else to say but please. Sir?"
"Leo look at me. I can never be mad at you. I love you so much more than you will ever know. Please come to me next time before making a drastic judgment. When I said I only want you and have eyes only for you alone. I mean it my love.
I will never let go of you, you mine now and I treasure as well as possess what is mine. Tonight I will make sure you never second guess my love for you. Okay, now enough with the chit chat. Kneel..."
Kneel... Leo guessed he will be paying for everything minus the half nude picture that he took, which was fair.
