In The Arms Of The Bad Boy Alpha
Chapter 25

Lily's P.O.V

After receiving a phone call while I was at school, I quickly picked up my bag off the bench and immediately ran out of the school gates. I was running as fast as I could, but after ten minutes it started raining. When I left home early, it didn't look like it was going to rain. I hadn't brought an umbrella with me, but I had to get there as soon as possible. I had to get to the police station under any circumstances. My phone began to ring and I saw that it was Bella.

"Hello." I said, answering her call wiping the rain drops from my face.

"Lily, are you okay? What happened? Why did you leave school in such a hurry without telling me or Victoria? If there is a big problem then tell me and I will come help you with it." Bella prompted. I could hear the rain beating down around her through the phone, it seemed as if the rain was even worse there. I didn't want to bother her with this. I also really didn't want to take her to the police station with me.

"Yes, there is a big problem, but don't worry I will handle everything. I will call you later." I assured her. I knew she was worried about me, but she understood my point and we both hung up the phone. I reached the crossing signal and hurriedly started crossing the road before the light turned red to green, but a bike was speeding towards me at a great speed.

How could he drive so fast when the light was red? I thought to myself but then my mind went blank as I didnt know what to do. I couldn't go backwards or forward because I was going to get into a huge accident either way.

"STUPID GIRL!! COME HERE!!" A voice yelled. I was suddenly pulled back, wrapping me in the possessive hold of an unknown person. I closed my eyes as the bike was still barreling towards me at full speed. I almost cried out in fright, but when I opened my eyes the bike had just passed by, not hitting me. Both my hands and legs were shaking in fear, but I tried to control myself and my breathing.

The hold on me got even tighter and the warmth coming off this person's body was something else, it made it so that I didn't want to move. I looked back to see who was holding me, who had saved my life, and my face drained of all colour when I saw that my saviour was none other than the person who hates me the most. Leo. I immediately freed myself from his hold in a panic backing away from him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, looking around me only to replace that the rain had now stopped, but I was soaking wet. I placed my hands over my body, especially my chest as I was in such a hurry I had run out of the school in my sports clothes and it was not good. These clothes were showing off my figure and the skirt was sticking to my legs.

Leo's eyes were staring at my body, I lowered my head in shame as not only was he looking at me but so were other men that were passing me by. I peeked up at him to see that his gaze was still on me, but he had a look in his eyes as if he was saying that he had every right to look at me, anywhere he wanted to.

"I was just passing through when I saw that an i***t was just waiting to be hit by a bike instead of saving her own life." Leo replied, taunting and making fun of me. At this time I had no more reason to argue with him nor did I have the time.

"Thank you very much for saving my life, I apologise for wasting your time." I impolered before running across the road. I took my phone out noting that I had wasted twenty minutes and I have yet to reach the police station yet. I left Leo standing there, not glancing back at him once. It was evening and soon it would be dark, so I decided to finish my journey by taxi for the last five minutes.

I was trying to stop a taxi, but each one just passed me by and never stopped. Suddenly a black expensive car pulled up in front of me, but I couldn't see the driver because the windows were tinted. The window rolled down and I saw Leo, sitting in the car. I didn't know that this was his car. What the hell was he doing here?

"Come in and sit down." Leo said, but I couldn't accept his invitation. Why was he offering me a lift?

"Thank you, but I will get a taxi." I murmured as irritation and anger arose on his face at my rejection of his offer. He was again gazing up and down at my wet body. I thought he was going to start spewing his normal venom at me, but instead he opened the car door. "Get in now. This is the last time I am asking you, after that I will pick you up and put you inside the car." Leo demanded, I knew he would do it. I looked at my mobile again, seeing that I had wasted even more time waiting for a taxi and he was the only one who could help me right now.

"Oh god....I know this is going to be a stupid idea, but I have no other solution." I mumbled to myself getting into his car and closing the door behind me. The seats in here were luxurious and I had never had the chance to ride in a car, this was my first time. What if I got his seat dirty? He would scold me. I was waiting for him to start driving, but when I looked up I saw that he was staring at me. He looked as though he had heard me grumbling at him, so I quickly looked away from him and looked to the road, pretending that I hadn't said anything.

"Where?" Leo rudely asked, I instantly realized that I should not have accepted his help. My heart was beating fast from him asking me that question. I don't know how he would react when he came to know that I was going to the police station. I felt his gaze on me, waiting for a reply. I clutched my bag tightly in panic.

"I....I am sorry, it's okay, but I will go on my own." I mumbled. Grabbing the door handle just as I was about to push it open he grabbed my hand, forcing me to look at his face and I sensed that something was wrong.

"I asked where are you going?" Leo inquired, he sounded really serious. It felt like it was necessary for him to know at any cost, whether he was taking me there or not, but if I tell him I am going to the police station then he would think bad of me and he already hates me.

"If I ask you to just leave me at my destination without questioning me, will you do it?" I asked, looking deep into his dark green eyes, as soon as he heard me his eyes changed. Unexpectedly I felt as if I could hear his heartbeat. It was very strange, was it because he was holding my hand? He started the engine of the car while loosening his grip on my hand and fixing his eyes on the road.

I was surprised that he did not ask about my destination and just started driving. I had not expected this change in behavior from him. I was giving him directions and my eyes were constantly on the phone screen, shaking my right leg due to nervousness and looking outside the window. When I got a call from the same number again.

"Lily, where are you? Come quickly." Bob said as soon as I answered the phone, he seemed even angrier than before. Perhaps his voice was so loud that Leo heard, but when I glanced at him he was no longer looking at me. That means he was not listening. "I am really sorry, but I am on the way. Just give me 5 more minutes." I begged him, he shouted more. I was silently listening to him, after hearing his scolding and shouting I cut the call.

"Please stop the car right here." I asked him to stop the car on a dark street a little away from the police station, so that he would not know where I was going.

"Over here? But this road is very deserted and there is nothing here." Leo replied, stopping the car and taking stock of the surrounding environment.

"Yes, I will leave from here. Thank you very much for giving me the lift. I will try to repay your favour soon." I vowed, unbuckling the seat belt and getting out of the car. I slowly closed the car door, but when I turned around I saw that he was still sitting in the car. He would be gone soon. I was making my way to the police station and I don't know why, but I felt good that he helped me. He was better than an unknown stranger. I ran up the steps to the police station and as soon as I walked inside Bob saw me. "YOU FINALLY CAME!!" Bob shouted at me. I froze in my spot, not letting him near me.

"I'm sorry, I was in school..." I started to say, but he didnt let me finish.

"I DONT f*****g CARE WHERE YOU WERE!! DO YOU SEE WHAT THE HELL OLIVER DID TO ME!!?" Bob shouted, pointing to his head which was bleeding. His nose was bleeding and he looked like someone had punched him. I was shocked to see that Oliver had beaten him so badly.

"I'm really sorry, Bob." I muttered, walking towards him.

"Sorry won't change what he has done to me, it will not lead you anywhere, Lily." Bob grumbled, grabbing my hand.

"Please, let go of my hand, we are in a police station you cannot treat me like this." I pleaded, but he just smirked at me.

"You girl do not have any idea how the hell I can treat you." Bob whispered, my eyes met with the policeman who was watching everything. I tried to push his hand away from mine, but it was no use.

"What do you want?" I asked, and he began to look happy.

"Oliver beat me and I have yet to file a complaint against him because I was waiting for you. They will throw him in jail for a long time if I do." Bob stated with his dirty smile, I angrily pushed him away from me.

"GOOD! FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST HIM! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO!! YOU ARE HIS FRIEND AND THIS IS BETWEEN YOU TWO, I AM NOT GETTING INVOLVED!! HE DID WRONG SO HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED!!" I shouted, following his gaze to see Oliver lying on a bench. He was drunk and looked really dangerous with how bloody his hand was.

"Yes, send him to jail, but you know what he will do to you if he goes to jail just due to your stubbornness. You know what he will do when he is released, you live with him, right? You will end up being at the receiving end of his animalistic abuse." Bob warned, I closed my eyes as his words made me shiver. He was right, I can't let Oliver go to jail because he would kill me once he got out.

"What do you want?" I asked, he brought his hand up to stroke my hair.

"That's better, that's what I wanted to hear." Bob whispered,I felt his hand going to my waist. I tried to shove his hand away from me, but nothing worked as he molested me in front of a police officer, but they were all friends.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!!!" Leo shouted from behind me, growling as he violently shoved Bob away from me and pulling me into the relative safety of his arms. I was badly shivering but not because of the cold it was due to fear. Bob's touch felt so dirty, but what was Leo doing here? I had thought he had left, had he followed me? Why? What would I say to him if he asks why I was here?

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!!" Bob shouted at Leo, but Leo only glared at him. I knew that Leo was holding himself back because we were in a police station. I had seen his anger back in the store when I saw his animal eyes looking at those drunk men. I feared that if he did something here that I wouldn't know what to do. I heard his low growl as I held his hand tightly to stop him. I didn't want him to get in any trouble because of me. Leo looked down, when I saw his eyes were their normal dark green I let out a breath I hadn't even known I was holding in.

"You are no one to ask my identity. If you want to file a complaint do so because it's not like you didn't hit him in return. You hit him just as much as he hit you, in the end my lawyer would win the case and you would go to jail as well." Leo warned, still holding me in his grip. How does he know all this?

I was sure that Leo hadn't been in the police station when Bob told me everything. How had he heard it from so far away? Bob looked scared listening to Leo and the way Leo spoke, nevermind the wat dressed and his confidence proved that he was not joking about his lawyer and jail. Bob looked back to the helpless police friend who was now ignoring him. Bob then angrily walked over to me, sticking his index finger right in my face.

"SO YOU CAME HERE WITH YOUR BODYGUARD!!!" Bob angrily shouted at me.

"HE IS NOT MY BODYGUARD!!" I shouted back, not showing my fear.

"This time I am letting this matter go because of the bodyguard, Lily, but don't think that your bodyguard can save you all the time." Bob threatened me. I was once again going to correct Bob about Leo not being my bodyguard when I felt Leo let go of my waist and pushed me back so that I was behind him. Leo stood in front of Bob, completely towering over him. He grabbed Bob's index finger, the one he had shoved in my face and began to bend it back. Bob looked at him in fear, scared that he was going to break his finger in two.

"Yeah, next time you won't see her bodyguard because before you catch sight of me I will rip your eyes out of your head." Leo cautioned, the saliva was stuck in my throat when I heard him. He was saying this in the middle of a police station without any fear at all, but he wouldn't break his finger, surely not, right?

"Please let go of his finger." I said to Leo, pushing Bob's hand away. Thankfully he listened to me and Bob quickly walked away. While I looked over at Oliver who was still drunk and laying on the bench.

"As he did not make any complaint then I am taking him home." I told the police officer, he looked really irritated with the fact that he wasn't able to help Bob in this matter.

"Yeah, just take him out, but write your name and his name here. It is a formality as the case still came to the police station." The police officer said, throwing a pen on the desk in front of me. I walked over to the form and started to fill in our information, but then I saw the question about my relationship to Oliver and I had to fill it in.

"Stepbrother." Leo barked, causing me to flinch. Why was he standing behind me? I looked back to see that he had raised his brows while reading the word stepbrother, but why?

"Yes." I replied. He looked quite happy to hear that he was my stepbrother or as he likes to call him 'my boyfriend'. I never intend to let anyone know my relationship with Oliver due to my past experiences. Others used to bully me because of his drinking and fighting after getting drunk, I was abused by so many of my old classmates because of him and now Leo also knew about it.

He saw my condition, I was feeling embarrassed, my old memories were flooding back to me. I just wanted to get away from his prying eyes, so I walked to Oliver and tried to make him come to his senses.

"Oliver, let's go..." I urged, pulling his hand. He groaned as I tried to sit him up, looking at the wine bottle he still had in his hand, clutching it like it was a diamond to him.

"Let's go home." I said, touching his face to try and make him wake up, but he wasn't listening to me. I looked back at Leo who was watching everything, I felt weirder. I pulled Oliver's hand, trying to get him to stand. Thankfully he stood up, but his heavy body fell on me. I was about to fall on the floor with him on top of me, but I held myself up and then I felt Oliver's body weight was totally on me.

I could not move my legs even an inch. That was when his drunken figure was pulled away from me, he was now in Leo's hold. I took a deep breath as I was not able to breathe as I was not able to with all of his weight and the stench of wine seeping off of him. "Didn't I say to never touch another male?" Leo asked and he looked angry to see that I had touched Oliver. What was he talking about, another male? He was again acting crazy.

"Didn't you just read that he is my stepbrother?" I asked, looking at him with anger and a little confusion in my eyes.

"Yeah I read it, but I also read the word step written in front of the word brother." Leo replied, holding Oliver up by the collar. How can he be so powerfully strong? He was only holding Oliver up by his collar, taking him out of the police station while maintaining sufficient space between Oliver and himself. It seemed as if Leo's nose was extremely sensitive and he was not able to stand the smell of alcohol oozing from Oliver's pores.

He violently threw Oliver into the back seat of his car, like he was a sack of potatoes and then I saw him get a bottle of water out of the front of his car and start washing his hands. I didn't feel good seeing him doing this and I knew he was uncomfortable with Oliver, but he still did it.

"I'm sorry." I said, he looked at me confused.

"For what? Don't tell me you are trying to back out of the promise you made me. Come on now sit." Leo urged, so I got into his car.

"What promise?" I asked, giving him a puzzled look as he started to drive.

"I knew it. I knew you were just saying that. You said that you would repay me for helping you, remember?" Leo reminded me and I nodded. He had taken it too seriously, but a promise was a promise. I looked back to see Oliver who was dirtying the back seats of Leo's expensive car.

"Don't look at him!" Leo growled as I checked on Oliver. What is his problem? I quickly looked at the road and not at Oliver. After half an hour he stopped his car in front of my home. Quickly jumping out of the car, opening the back door I tried to pull Oliver out. "Move," Leo said, pulling me back once again he helped me in this matter.

"Go ahead and open the door." Leo suggested, I run to open it. He brought him inside and I closed the front door before opening the door to Oliver's room. Leo threw him on the bed and quickly exited the room. I too got out of his dangerous room as fast as I could, closing the door behind me.

I turned around to see that Leo was looking at me, it felt weird that he was here, inside my home. I never would have thought that Leo would ever actually be in my home and he must think of it as a dolls house. My eyes went to his shirt that was dirty, possibly ruined because of Oliver's wine!!! Oh my god! His shirt looks so expensive. He also noticed his shirt and I was waiting for him to say something.

"Ummm....you can clean your shirt in my bathroom." I offered, pointing to my room as I knew he would never use Oliver's bathroom. He nodded and I was surprised to see that he was willing to go into my room. I opened the door for him as he was carefully watching me, but I kept telling myself not to look, it was embarrassing.

I thanked God that I had cleaned my room before going to school and that there were no clothes left out of my cupboards. Leo walked into my bathroom and I took a deep breath, but then I noticed the bathroom door was still open. Why hadn't he closed the door? I went to my study table and arranged my books that were looking messy.

"Perfect!" I muttered to myself, smiling and as I took a few steps back my back hit something hard. I was startled and looked over my shoulder to replace that Leo was standing behind me and looking straight into my eyes. He was walking closer to me as I was backing

up.

"W...What...happened?" I asked, backing up until my legs touched my study table. His large hand reached forward and pulled me closer to him by my waist causing my heart to beat fast. I was alone in my room with him and he was touching me. "You know about me, right?" Leo asked, my eyes widened. Is he talking about him being a werewolf? Will he kill me if I say yes?

"Tell me." He insisted, touching my lips. I did not say anything as I had no desire to die. That was when I noticed that his hand was turning animalistic and his nails were growing into claws. I breathed hard as he touched my lips, but it was no longer in fear. I didn't fear him, but there was something else happening inside me, his touch was driving me crazy.

"So you know." Leo whispered, his mouth mere inches from mine, his eyes shining once again like before.

"It's good that you know." Leo confided.

"Really? It's good. Why?" I asked as he pulled me closer to him, leaning down so that our lips were almost touching.

"Because you are my mate...." Leo confessed just loud enough for me to hear, as he softly brushed his lips against mine kissing me. My eyes widened when I heard the word 'mate'. I am Leo's mate? I panicked trying to push him back.

"No, I am not your mate." I said, but he again pulled me closer and kissed me again. This time I could not push him as he gripped my whole body to his and deepened the kiss. He nibbled my lower lip, I felt like a toy in his skillful hands. "You were....you are and only you will be...." Leo promised into my mouth, having stolen my first kiss.
