Alpha's dangerous Mate

Chapter 9

Roderick

I stood still and motionless as I watched my mate who was ready to combat with me. She looks so scary and ready to fight me and it had me wondering just what I have done to deserve this type treatment from her. Mates are meant to be loved and protected. My mate who is supposed to love me is ready to kill me if given the chance.

Not that I'm afraid of her but, she is my mate. How am I supposed to engage in a war with my other half?

I raised my two hands up in surrender as I stared into her eyes that was filled with rage and hatred.

I don't know the reason for her animosity towards me.

She had two knives in her hands, I can't believe that she had a weapon like that with her. I think she doesn't realize that the silver weapon in her hand was very deadly to our kind. It probably hurt her, that's why she's tying the hilt with a piece of clothing. I wondered how she had managed to obtain such weapon.

"Alice, please I'm sorry if I have done anything to offend you. But please, can you calm down first? I'm not here to do anything to you. You're my mate!" I tried to reason with her, my voice sounding desperate. Of course I'm desperate. I have been waiting for six years.

"If you want me to calm down, then answer my questions first. What is mate and why am I your mate? What is Alpha and why are they calling you that?" She threw a confusing question to me once again, confirming the doubt in our hearts.

"Something is definitely wrong with mate" Jimmy said in my head, sadness lacing his voice which broke my heart further. I silently nodded in agreement. We have been waiting only to be given a mate that doesn't accept us.

How do I put my mouth and explain what mate and Alpha is when she herself is also a werewolf?

My wolf whimpered in my head in pain and I tried my best to calm him down.

I think we should give her sometime to think, while we also find the appropriate time to explain everything to her. I said to Jimmy and he didn't say anything in protest. He remained silent which shows that he was in agreement with me.

"Alice, I will give you time to make up your mind and tell me what is happening with you. You know I can't go anywhere because you're in the pack land. I will send for you when it's time to talk properly" I said to her. As I took some steps towards her and stood before her, my gaze holding onto hers. My breath hitched as I got closer to her, trying hard to control myself. I wanted nothing but to pull her into my arms and hugged her tightly, assuring her that everything would be alright.

With me standing few inches away from her, the world stopped momentarily as we stared at each other's eyes. Mine was filled with want and lust, while hers was filled with both want and hatred. Despite all her efforts to push me away, I could still see that she wants me as much as I want her. That's the reason why I really want to give her time.

"Take care of yourself mate, I will see you soon" I said to her before turning towards the exit.

"Are you leaving already, Alpha" Victoria said to me as I closed the door behind me.

I smiled dryly at her before saying a simple, "Yes" that's all I could mutter because my heart is broken and shattered into million pieces. My wolf is whimpering in pain and I'm trying hard to calm him down, because if I don't he might go back in there and forcefully try to get our mate to accept us.

We are almost going insane as it is right now.

"I'm so sorry for my daughter's behavior, Alpha. I don't know what got into her since today. She has been acting strange" Victoria said with a melancholic voice.

"So the abnormality in her behaviors started today?" I asked.

"Yes, Alpha. She was find yesterday and this morning, she appeared to be different. I will try to find out what is wrong with her" She said.

"Thanks Victoria. I will take my leave now. I hope she doesn't act this way the next time we sees each other, I won't be able to handle it"

After saying this, I walked over to the car and quietly sat in the passenger seat. I wasn't getting myself at all.

"Let's go back, Rick. Maybe, she will accept us this time. We can't go without her, we need mate by our side" Jimmy continued to whine helplessly, he was howling restlessly in my head.

"Jimmy, let's allow her to calm down for now. We can't fight her just to get her to accept us" I countered, trying hard to control my crushing emotions. It hurts so much. Seeing your mate without being able to hold or touch them really hurts so bad. The emptiness I felt before meeting her became doubled.

Zane didn't say anything as he drove us back to the pack house. He did well to leave me to my thoughts which I need at this time. I just wanted to be alone, so, the moment we got back, I headed up to my room. I got to my room and slammed the door shut as I went to the bathroom, turned on the shower and stepped in. I let the tears that was buried in my eyes to follow freely, this way, it won't show that I'm actually crying.

This is the first time since that night, I'm crying again. I don't cry for anything. But I have to cry right now because it hurts a lot. My wolf was just whimpering too in my head as we let out all the pains that we have been holding in since we met her. People sees me as a lucky and heartless Alpha that has it all. But they failed to notice how pathetic that I am for not having the most important and special people that's supposed to be in my life.

I began to question the Moon Goddess why. Why she decided to make me a miserable and unlucky Alpha. Not that I hate my mate, but rather, I love her and everything about her so much. But it could have been better if she could also see us the way we see her.

I pressed my hands on the glass wall as I bent forward, the cold water pouring on my head. After crying under the cold water, I switched off the shower and stepped out. Wrapping myself with a towel and drying my head with another, I just wore a boxers and climbed onto the bed. Loneliness gripped me, rendering me useless as I climbed into the bed and buried myself with the quilt. I just wanted to sleep and see if I would forget everything about her by the time I wakes up. But after tossing and turning for a while, I hissed in annoyance as I stood and quickly wore my clothes and left the room.

I went over to my office and decided to get to work. That's the only possible remedy for my bleeding and aching heart.

"Rick, where are you? Old alpha wants to see you" Zane's voice came through the link.

"I'm in the office" I replied before closing the link.

Seconds later, the door was pushed open to reveal my old man. The only blood related family that I have in the whole wide world. He is now in his late eighties, with his hair all white. Yet he is still looking very agile.

This man is simply too strong and exception. He did not only endure the death of his mate, who according to my father had died so early. But he also endured the death of his only son, my father who had died together with his wife that was heavily pregnant with a pup. My grandfather is surely the most strongest man in the entire universe.

I could endure without seeing my mate at all, at least, I will know that I wasn't destined to have one, but after setting my eyes on Alice, I don't think I can endure without her by my side. I would probably wither like a leave and die a lonely and painful death. I hope she accepts us soon.

"Hey, son! What the hell are you thinking leaving your grandfather all to himself?" He whined grumpily.

I smiled at him as I stood up from my chair and rounded the desk to go and sit beside him on the couch.

"What brought you here, old man" I teased him, and by now, my smile was now wide.

"Don't bribe me with your smiling face, Rick. Why did you refuse to communicate with me through the Link?" He asked with his face and voice stern, showing how serious he was.

"I was very busy grandpa" I replied.

"Busy doing what?" He asked while I remained quiet. My silence made him to go ahead to say what he wanted to say. "Anyway, I'm organizing a party this weekend and I want to invite the neighboring packs to see if you will be able to find your mate. Since you've refused to do something, I think I will have to step up and do it. You're already twenty four already Rick and you being so lonely is not good for you"

I just looked down but couldn't say anything to my grandfather. I don't know how to tell him that I have found my mate who is ready to kill me instead of accepting me.

I'm so pathetic isn't it? Maybe I don't deserve to have a good life like other wolves.

"What is wrong son?" My grandfather asked worriedly, noticing my crestfallen shoulders.

Tears welled up in my eyes but I didn't want them to spill, so I bit down my lips and clenched my hands into a fist. An alpha is not supposed to shade tears, damn it!

"Who is she?" My grandfather asked, catching me by surprise.

I snapped my head up at once to look at him, causing the tears to spill.

"You've found her isn't it? Nothing can make an alpha shade tears easily than his mate" I just stared at the man but couldn't muster any words out from my mouth.

"I'm sorry for disappointing you grandpa, but it hurts so bad" I said, with my voice hurt. I felt so embarrassed.

"Who said an alpha can't cry? An alpha that simply can't let it out when it pains him won't learn to be responsible. Your grandmother made me to shade tears for the first time so I know. Where is she?"

Knowing that I couldn't hide it from him, I simply allowed him to come into my head and see everything for himself.

"What a dangerous mate that you've got there, son!" He teased me while I suddenly smiled wiping my tears as pride filled me.

I love my mate's audacity so much, but it would have been more sexy if she was to act like that towards the right people and not me that's her mate.

But then, my grandpa frowned at me making me to shiver and swallow the lump in my throat.

What does he have to say?
