My human mate

Rehearsal

(Alisha P.O.V)

One month goes like a blur, and I finally able to write the play with the help of Miss. Raymond and my father and submit it to Miss. Raymond, and guess what our play was selected by her. We have also started rehearsal the play one week ago, after school and my mother also has permitted me to stay at school, after school, and to wake up on my usual time, but it is only till the play was shown in the school.

As the bell ring signaling us that the school was over, we pack our bags and go to the cafe near the school to have something to eat and then come back to school for rehearsal. It has become our routine from a week that after school we will go to the cafe to eat something then come back to school for rehearsal, then spend some time hang out of the school and go back home.

Today, we are going to rehearsal the balcony scene where Romeo and Juliet confess their love to each other. After reaching school we go to the additional room and go through our script and then get to our position. I climb up the fake balcony and stand on it.

“Oh, my!” I said leaning against the edge of the balcony, placing my chin on my hands, acting like I don’t know that Robert was watching while gazing up at the ceiling.

“She speaks. Oh, speak again, bright angel. You are as glorious as an angel tonight. You shine above me, like a winged messenger from heaven who makes mortal men fall on their backs to look up at the sky, watching the angel walking on the clouds and sailing on the air.” Robert said to himself while walking closer to the balcony.

“Oh, Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be Romeo? Forget about your father and change your name. Or else, if you won’t change your name, just swear you love me and I’ll stop being a Capulet,” I said my line while looking at the ceiling.

“Should I listen for more, or should I speak now?” I heard Robert said his line.

“It’s only your name that’s my enemy. You’d still be yourself even if you stopped being a Montague. What’s a Montague anyway? It isn’t a hand, a foot, an arm, a face, or any other part of a man. Oh, be some other name! What does a name mean? The thing we call a rose would smell just as sweet if we called it by any other name. Romeo would be just as perfect even if he wasn’t called Romeo. Romeo, lose your name. Trade-in your name—which really has nothing to do with you—and takes all of me in exchange,” Just as I speak my line as Robert comes in front of me and stand under the face balcony, I feel balcony started to shake, and I scream as I fall down from it and close my eyes, to get myself ready to feel the pain but I didn't feel it at all instead I feel the two strong, muscular arms holding me tight to a muscular chest.

I open my eyes to see Robert was holding me in his arms while looking worriedly at me. I cried and hide my face between his neck and shoulder and cried my heart out.

We were rehearsing the play, while I was looking at my script when I heard Alisha scream and look up to see her falling down from the fake balcony, but I was fast to catch her before she touches the ground all thanks to my Lycian speed.

I look down at her worriedly and she opens her eyes to look at me, she cried out and hide her face in my neck. I look up to see Karin's minor Riddi and Siddhi running away backstage and I feel my Lycian let out growl inside my chest in anger.

"How dare they tried to hurt our mate? Let me out, I want to make them pay for even thinking to hurt our mate," he said with a growl while scratching the walls inside my mind to come out and take controls of my body.

"Not now, our mate needs us now, we will take care of them, after making sure she is fine," I said to him, he growls at me and sits beside the wall inside my mind.

"Alisha!" Our friends shout at us and run towards us.

"Alisha are you okay? Are you hurt?" Kanika asks worriedly and she just shakes her head at them while still hiding her face in my neck and crying her heart out at me, and I feel my heart clench painfully

and hear my Lycian whimpers inside my head seeing her like this.

"No, no, don't let me go please," she said while shaking her head at me when I bend down a little to put her on the floor, on her own feet.

"Make her seat on the chair," Miss. Raymond says to me and I walk down the stage and sit on the chair while still holding her in my arms. I put her in my lap and start patting her back to calm her down a bit and try to control my anger towards those bitches, as Alisha is my priority, she comes first but I make a mental note to punish them after I was sure Alisha was okay.

"Sssh...sssh it's okay, it's okay, your safe now," I said softly patting her back to comfort her. She hiccup and then look up at me.

"Here, drink this, you will feel better," Kanika said passing a glass of water to her. Alisha takes it from her and slowly takes a sip of water. After taking a few sips of water she passes the glass back to Kanika.

"Feeling better now," I ask her and she nodded her head at me.

"We are done for today, you all can go home now," Miss Raymond said to us and was about to walk off the audition room but I stop her from walking out on us.

"Miss. Raymond, can you wait outside for me, there is something I want to talk with you about?" I ask her, stopping her on her way, she nodded her head at me and walk out of the room.

"Nate, can you drop Alisha at her room, I don't want her to drive back to home at this condition," I ask her in my alpha tone and he nodded his head at me, knowing that I won't leave my mate alone like this if it's not something important that I want to do right now.

"Call me, when you reach home, okay love?" I ask her. She nodded her head at me, I kiss her forehead and after putting her on the seat beside me, I walk out of the room.
