CHAPTER 8 : DAIRY

The room was cold which made Jace sleepy so he laid on the bed when he remembered he kept Alexander’s diary under his pillow so he took it out.

“It says to return it to Jace so I think I can read” Jace spoke to himself as he made up his mind that he will be Alexander’s friend for now until he can select his new mate or old mate because, in the end, he wanted to have a mate.

Jace took a deep breath and closed his eyes, debating whether or not to read until he hummed and opened his eyes, reading the first page aloud.

“Do not read anything. Only Jace and Alex Edward have the rights to read.” Jace shrugged his shoulders, knowing that Alexander had basically allowed him to read, so he did.

The dairy was purple and had a fluffy purple and white furry pen stuck to it. “Oh cute” Jace laughed playing with the pen as he snickered grabbing his mobile and quickly opening ‘beegram’ as he clicked at Alexander’s profile taking out his recent picture that was from the park picnic day that happened yesterday when he saw there were more pictures.

Jace used his finger to slide as he saw Alexander's pictures with all his friends. There was a group picture, a picture with each couple, a picture with only girls, a picture with only boys, and a picture with Keith only.

“WHAT THE HELL?” Jace half yelled as he opened the whole picture to see Keith kissing Alexander’s cheek with a tag and comment down so he read it all out.

“One of my best friends to whom I promise the world” -thewhitefluff

“Promise the world my ass” Jace grumbled angrily as he read the other comments everyone gave.

‘Oh, how cute’

‘You both are so cute’

‘Is he taken’ -Crystalfire

“Yes, and I am his mate” Jace laughed reading Crystal’s comment as he shook his head and read all the strangers and his friend’s comments not realizing that he was stalking Alexander.

‘Love you’

‘Marry me alpha’

‘He is so cute. So fit to be my mate’

‘He is taken’ -Keithedragon

Jace grumbled as he tossed his phone on the bed, avoiding it as he sighed, shaking his head, and moved on to the next page of the diary.

‘Dear lovely mate:

Good night

I figured I'd start writing in case things don't work out for me until I meet you. I'm 16 years old, and I'm hoping you're two years older than me so we can marry and get out of this hell. My parents are verbally and physically violent, and I am terrified. Could you please come to me as soon as possible? I am in desperate need of your love.

Your white wolf,

Alex’

Jace rubbed his forehead as he turned the page and read the next letter…

‘Dear handsome mate:

Good morning,

I hope your family is better than mine. I hope you are happier because I want at least one of us to be happy. So, I'm going to avoid writing about sad topics. I figured that if I kept a diary, you would read it in the future and understand what I'm going through, and then kiss me and say all is fine. I adore you regardless of how you look or what your personality is like, even though your name is adorable. Our names combined form the name ‘Jalex,' which we can use for our son. What am I writing about? Since I want to write whatever comes to mind, I don't want to cut or tear sheets.

Love you a lot

Your Alexander’

Jace closed the dairy and took a deep breath before reopening it and reading the next thing Alexander had written.

‘Dear Jace:

All is in chaos... I'm a mess... I just want to put an end to it all...where are you? I want your support. My parents are on the verge of driving me nuts. Everything I want to do is be with you. I can't wait to turn 18 and be able to live on my own. They did so much to me today simply because my wolf is a female omega... I never asked for this...why can't everything about my life be right? Please find me before I turn 20 because I won't be able to wait any longer after that for you. I will go to the moon goddess... I understand that this dairy isn't a magical place where you'll learn all of this, but I'm confident that our relationship is deep and that you can sense what I'm feeling.

I love you and need you

Good night

Alex

Jace bit his bottom lip, closed his eyes, and sat up, his eyes widening in surprise as he flipped the page around.

‘My mate

Good morning

My entire body has turned black and blue. Will you still support me despite my scars? I just hope you welcome me because my body isn't in good shape to be seen. I have a poor body with a lot of scars on it. I'm writing because I'm going to show you this, so if you want to reject me, you can do so now. My parents told me today that omegas are rubbish, that they are useless, that they don't deserve to live...what do you think? I just hope you're not an alpha because I'm afraid of alphas for some reason.

Your Alex

When Jace realized his cheeks were damp, he simply sighed and rubbed his eyes to prevent the tears from falling. As he started to read the next letter, Jace shook his head.

‘My lovely mate:

Everyone and everything irritates me. I was mocked at school today because I'm short and chubby. They yanked my hair out of my head and slammed me against the wall. My head is now bandaged after I visited the nurse's office, and I consider myself fortunate because the nurse is excellent. She is way better compared to my other teachers, who have chosen to ignore me and allow my classmates to bully me. Nobody likes me, and I don't like myself, but I'm curious if you do, and if you'd accept me and my broken body.

Hehe

I like you, Jace

Your Alex’

Jace stood up angrily as he wiped his tears away while he grabbed his guitar and put it inside its case. He wore his shoes and sprayed some perfume as he sat on the bed.

“I should probably read the recent ones before I take the next step” Jace spoke to himself as he agreed and opened the diary reading the recent things Alexander wrote.

‘Dear mate:

Do you attend my university or do you attend another but maintain touch with Crystal and Keith? Whatever it is, I wish I don't meet you because I am terrified of meeting you. Just thinking about you makes my chest hurt, my body hurt, and my head hurt. You rejected me, and I'm supposed to avoid you now, but I can't. I believe I am going crazy and will die soon as a result of the rejection that is slowly killing me like poison. Whatever the case may be, I will make every effort to avoid you. Is it even necessary for me to write to you? I should stop writing to you because we are no longer mates. You know what these letters will now be for, my future second mate, or you can read them after I die.

Alex’

“Like hell, I will let you die this easily,” Jace spoke as he sighed pinching the bridge of his nose when he turned to the back page and read another thing Alexander wrote.

“Hi, Jace,

I had no idea I'd run into you at the park today, let alone that you'd be a childhood acquaintance of my friends. You're really attractive, and I had a feeling you'd be an alpha, so that's not surprising. Your wolf is absolutely stunning. The color black is one of my favorites. I never expected you to reject me after all these years of waiting, but I suppose we weren't meant to be. I hope your partner loves you as much as I do. You wanted to know what my last request from you is, right? My final wish is for you to accept me, love me, kiss me, and never let me go...but I understand that this is a lot to ask of a boy who has already rejected me. Okay, I love you, but my feelings for you will fade soon, and this fictitious Jace in my head may become my friend. I mean, who am I kidding? I'm on my own now. I'm not in the mood to write today, so I won't be able to articulate myself, so... take care. I don’t have anyone…

Alexander Edward.”

“Why do you sound so sad for a person who agreed to this rejection?” Jace whispered as he turned the page back and read the one Alexander wrote in the morning.

“My lovely mate:

Good morning…more like good afternoon. I'm going out with my friends for the first time. I'm not sure if I look fine, but they advised me to dress casually, which I am doing. Keith and Crystal have wanted to travel by motorcycle, but I am afraid to do so. I mean, it's my first time, so I'm hoping I don't make a fool of myself. Do you prefer cars or motorbikes? Since you are my only family, I will enjoy anything you enjoy. Ok, I'm getting late, so I'll tell you about today's outing later.

I adore you.

You’re Alex”

Jace sighed as he smiled seeing how happy his mate seemed when he had written all this and just a few words changed his happiness. He quickly read the next thing Alexander wrote

“My dear amazing mate:

Good morning and I hope you are doing well. I am not feeling that well today but maybe that is because I was very excited yesterday that I made friends for the first time in my whole life. People finally accepted me and I hope you accept me as well because you know there are many cases where mates just go with someone else because of many situations. I don’t know about you but I will accept you no matter what as you are my fated pair and I am fated to love you. I know most people say this is a life force and all but hey we are werewolves and mating is normal in our kinds. I think today’s dairy is long compared to what I always wrote for you…I just hope we meet soon.”

Your Alex.

Jace took a deep breath as he read the next one when his eyes widened.

‘Dear amazing mate of mine:

I hope you are doing well. I bumped into a guy today and his name was “Jace de Leon”. Are you Jace de Leon? Are you my mate Jace? Well, I could smell forest and apples from Jace de Leon but unfortunately, I couldn’t see his face since his half body was turned to the other side and he was staring at a man who looked scary. I was also starring at the man but before I realized it, Jace de Leon had to run away so I couldn’t question if Jace de Leon is my Jace…Also I was getting stalked today again and it is getting scarier and scarier day by day so please meet me soon and protect me because this stalker is a wolf and I feel uneasy whenever he is near as if he wants to kill me. I am really scared babe…that stalker even communicated with me through mind link and that is why I am hiding in my room hoping this night goes by quickly so I can tell my friends and they can save me since you are not around. I am getting sleepy because I took a long warm shower while I was stressing about this situation and now my omega body got no power.

Good night my destined one,

Love you

Alexander

“WHAT THE FUCK? STALKER?” Jace yelled as he quickly read the previous letter to find more about the stalker thing since he was now worried for Alexander. Without any care, he read whatever he saw first.

‘My lovely mate Jace~

I made few friends today and they were all very nice. Two of them are betas and one of them is an omega and the other a human but what surprises me is that two of them are alphas but they are so different from all the alphas I have known. Are you an alpha? Or a beta? Maybe an omega like me? But whatever I will love you no matter what is your rank in the wolves. I am happy that at least I know your name and that you are a wolf. I hope I meet you soon so we can have our own story. A story that we will start and only we will end.

Love you, my fated pair,

Good night

Your Alexander.

‘Dear mate:

Good morning~

I am in university now…YAY…Did you notice yesterday was a new moon and I prayed to the moon goddess to meet you soon. I am living a better life compared to before. Yeah, I feel lonely but once I meet you everything would be okay. I don’t get abused and I just got myself a new bed with the part-time money I was saving. I left home and won't ever return to that horrible place again so come to me soon so I could leave this place with you.

Love Alexander~’

“At least you are living a happier life now, but I can't accept the stalker thing,” Jace thought to himself as he kept the diary in the cupboard. He locked the cupboard and took the keys with him. He walked out of the room, clutching his wallet, keys, and phone, only to run into Crystal, who looked at Jace puzzled.

“Can you tell me where you're going?” Crystal inquired, puzzled, as Jace mumbled "Mate," causing Crystal to groan.

Even though he was going to Alexander's place, Jace walked away knowing Crystal must have assumed he was going to visit Richa again. As he started his bike, Jace sat down and sped down the lane towards Alexander's place.

***

Jace parked his bike and walked inside the house, where he saw a guard and approached him.

“Hey, man, what is Alexander Edward's flat number?” Jace inquired, as the guard looked at him puzzled.

“Who are you?” The guard inquired, and Jace answered, "I am his lover, and I am surprising him." "Oh sir, he lives on the third floor..." 307 or 304, I believe.” As Jace hummed his way to the elevator, the guard spoke.

While waiting for the elevator to open, Jace pushed the button, walked in, and pressed the 3rd floor while the door closed and he waited. Another ding could be heard when the door opened, so Jace stepped out and knocked on the 307 doors first.

As he relaxed, Jace heard Alexander's soft voice say, "Um...Wait”

Alexander flung open the door, his eyes widening in surprise as he stammered out “J-Jace.”

Jace hummed as he walked in, shutting and locking the door behind him as he looked at Alexander.

“How are you doing with your fever?” “Did you take any prescription medicines?” Jace rubbed his neck and sighed, his hand resting on Alexander's forehead as Alexander took a step back.

“It's my heat, you should go,” Alexander lied in the hopes that Jace would believe him, but Jace simply laughed.

“What do you mean, heat?” Is this for real? You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. It's a typical fever, as far as I can tell. You'd been sick since the morning, and your body was hot when I kissed you...” Jace spoke as he drew Alexander closer to him and stared at the small boy.

“I apologize for lying,” Alexander said quietly as Jace tugged his hair behind his ear and whispered, “No worries cub, now you should lie in bed,” causing Alexander to cough shyly because he was embarrassed by the nickname Jace gave him.

“And you should go home,” Alexander said as he shoved Jace, who smiled and raised his eyebrow.

“I am not leaving this quickly,” Jace said, grabbing Alexander's hand and picking him up bridal style, causing him to yelp.

“P-Please put me down.” Alexander stuttered out, wrapping his arms around Jace's waist, hoping he doesn't fall.

“No way, do you eat at all?” “You are so light and small,” Jace chuckled as he placed Alexander on the bed.

Alexander's face flushed as he stuttered out, shyly, "N-Not my fault you're strong," prompting Jace to smile and say, "Thanks for the compliment, cub."

“Stop calling me that,” Alexander grumbled, puffing his cheeks and averting his gaze.

“Ok, Babyboy” Jace laughed, ruffling Alexander's hair, who angrily said, "Don't call me that too"

"Why is your voice so low and soft?" “Yell for me,” Jace said as he continued to stare at Alexander.

“Do you want me to yell?” Are you all right, Jace? Are you in alpha runt? Or did you just meet Richa for this to happen?” Alexander inquired, and Jace responded with a laugh, "Yeah, I'm fine, and no, I'm not getting my runt, and I didn't meet Richa, so yell for me."

“What am I supposed to yell?” Alexander inquired, and Jace replied, "My name," causing Alexander to sigh.

“JACE,” Alexander screamed, shyly turning away when he heard Jace chuckle, “Pfft, still so soft and low,” Alexander huffed, his arms crossed over his chest.

“As if you can do better,” Alexander grumbled as Jace startled him when he yelled “ALEX.”

“All right, you've won.” Alexander whispered as Jace sat on the bed, grabbing Alexander by the waist and saying, "But I prefer this," before unexpectedly whispering "Alex" in Alexander's ear.

Alexander pushed Jace away with the palm of his hand, mumbling, "S-Stay away."

“OK, enough with the messing around. Simply lie down and sleep. “I'll sit here with you,” Jace said solemnly as he made Alexander lie down on the bed.

“You are not allowed to stay with me. As Jace wrapped the blanket around Alexander, Alexander said, "Go to your mate."

“I sense you're afraid, and something or someone is bothering you,” Jace said as he stood up and closed the window while turning on the air conditioner.

“Y-you...how did you do it? Forget about it. I'm fine, and I'm used to it,” Alexander stuttered as Jace turned off the lights.

“I am here, and once you recover to defend yourself; I will leave so till that time I will support you and be your mate,” Jace said as he sat on Alexander's bed, caressing his cheeks.

“So, you can deny me again later and make me even sadder,” Alexander murmured, widening Jace's eyes because he hadn't thought this through.

Jace's only plan was to talk about the stalker and nothing else. Jace couldn't contain himself when he saw Alexander sweating and his cheeks flushed red, so he barged in and said he'd take care of him.

“Look, baby, I can help you; all you have to do is ask.” Jace spoke as Alexander murmured, "You can do whatever I say?"

Jace paused for a moment, hummed, and said, "Everything," making Alexander smile as he said, "Leave my house"

"NO." Jace said sternly as Alexander groaned out “I thought you said you'd listen,”

“Shut up,” Jace said softly, pecking Alexander's lips as he proceeded, “or else I'll take you to my house,” Alexander's eyes widened.

“F-Fine, but I'm not accepting the deal, and when you leave, just lock me up in this house and leave.” Take the keys and send them to Keith or Crystal, and I'll get from one of them.” Alexander stuttered and closed his eyes, ashamed, as Jace whispered, "Well, now sleep."

Jace grinned as he caressed Alexander's cheek as he watched him fall asleep. Alexander yawned as Jace kissed his forehead, recalling how tired he was before he came here. Jace removed his shirt and settled next to Alexander in his trousers.

Jace laid down as Alexander shifted in his sleep, snuggling in Jace's chest, turning Jace's cheeks red as he wrapped himself in the blanket and hugged Alexander, falling asleep as well.
