Rogue Vs Alpha

Chapter 3

*Aiden POV

        As i look down at my mate, panting, wanting more i can't help but feel a cocky grin spread across my face. This could work. She can't resist me. I don't need love, don't want it. It makes things complicated and messy. Killed even. I will treat her well in return she will be the perfect Luna, the Luna that will help me get s**t back in order. 

    'You can't force this Aiden. She can still reject you-us. She deserves everything we can give her and more.'

    'You said yourself we are short on time. I don't have the time to make empty promises about eternal love and all that bullshit. All she has to do is be my Luna in name and give me some pups.'

    'What makes you think she will? She seems pretty resistant when she is thinking clearly?'

    'She has been out casted her whole life. She may not want to admit but i can't imagine anyone Wanting to live that way. Especially a young woman. Trust me. She may not full see it now but i need her and she needs me. Wither she likes it or not.'

    She seems to be calming down. I can't smell her arousal as much as a few minutes ago. She seems to be thinking a bit clearer. Hopefully she will make the smart choice here. 

    "I can give you everything you have desired from what i guess has been a dream of yours since you were a young pup."

    "Since you seem to know everything about me all of a sudden please enlighten me."

    "A family."

    That got her attention. She's listening but still seems to be on edge. She hasn't even bothered to get off the floor, don't think she has even really noticed she is covered in dirt and mud. Her eyes haven't left mine since i said family. Her body language tells me she craves it, like any sane person would. 

    "I will treat you like my queen with your rightful place by my side. Together you and i can change the pack. Bring things back to how they were when-

    "When Luna Diana was still alive you mean? What makes you think anyone would ever accept me as their Luna. You all think i am the reason she is dead. And don't you f*****g dare lie to me and say you never once thought that. Because if you did, if you truly believed i had nothing to do with it and saw how much i loved her. Even though i didn't know her long she treated me like her own daughter! And all you f*****g ass-holes sat around and blamed me instead of finding her real murder!" 

        *Evie POV

    Once i started speaking the words just started flowing out like a waterfall. I could feel the tears in the corner of my eyes running down my cheeks. I didn't care anymore. Every single emotion i have been holding in these past 10 years have started coming to the surface all at once. I don't even care that i'm screaming at my soon to be Alpha. He was my last straw. I can either lay over and die and wonder why my whole life, or i can take control of it. It's my life and i am sick and f*****g tired of being told it's not okay to exists. What he is proposing is a plan that will get him what he wants. He doesn't care that i have no one. Hell he doesn't even seem to care that i am his mate. Just another means to an end to get what he wants. And i can't help but feel if i take his hand and become his, it is the final nail in my coffin. 

    'But he is our Mate, the moon goddess has blessed us with him for a reason.'

    'He said himself that he will never love me.'

    'That's not what i heard. I can feel his wolf crying out for me. I think maybe he is afraid to fall in love. Seeing how his father lost his mate, his life. Maybe this is him saving himself from the potential pain he thinks we might cause.'

    'Oh boo f*****g who! Where was he when the kids were throwing rocks at my head in the school yard? Or when someone tried to burn down the house with us in it? Or when i was stressed to the point of never being able to shift and losing you for a full 2 years. He doesn't get my sympathy. Or does he deserve it. If he wants me, he needs to prove it.'

    I'm done playing their games. Now it's my turn to play and i'm not going down without a fight. 

    "It sounds like to me you are making empty promises. You don't give a s**t if i want a family! You want to use that against me to get what you want. Sorry i'm not interested."

    I cross my arms and stare him down, well try to at least. I have never done anything this extreme before and i'm sure he can feel my hesitation in my voice.

    "I'm sorry i don't think i have explained it properly. You don't get a choice. You either come willingly or i take you. Your choice."

    "You can''t be f*****g serious. You said yourself that you don't want or need love. Why not reject me and take someone else as your Luna? It doesn't have to be me."

    He sits and thinks about what i said, taken aback with my question. I guess he thought he could bully me into doing what he wants. 

    "I''m not going to reject you, you will become my Luna end of discussion!"

    Before i could throw a rebuttal his way, he stomps over to me and throws me over his shoulder and beings to walk in the opposite direction of my house. I struggle and scream for him to put me down which falls on deaf ears apparently. I must have yelled as much as my body could handle. The adrenaline seems to be disappearing since i am all of a sudden having a hard time keeping my eyes open. 

    He hasn't said anything since he picked me up, and it peaked my curiosity. "Why me? Why does it have to be me?"

    Silence. Nothing but f*****g silence. I try to focus myself on his heartbeat, his breathing. For some reason it calmed me, which was irritating. He is basically taking me against my will. I can feel myself falling closer and closer to sleep. As i give up and start to close my eyes, the last thing i hear is "You'll see." 

    *

    I awoke with a sharp pain shooting from my ankle up through my leg. I look down to see some unfamiliar female touching my leg. I pull my leg up and kick with the other sending her flying across the room. I quickly sit up looking around the room not recognising anything. And then all the memory's from earlier in the day come flooding back, I guess i am at the pack house. 

    "That was quite a kick." 

I look over to the left as Aiden sits there chuckling at my response. I couldn't help but blush. The sound of his laughter sounded angelic, like a different person altogether. 

    "Are you alright doctor?" He said while barely containing his laughter. The doctor stood up and rubbed her face while glaring at me. 

    "I'm fine Alpha. She took me by surprise, otherwise that would have ended very differently."

    "Your staring sorry glaring as if you are expecting an apology. I won't apologise for protecting me myself." I spat between clenched teeth, how would she feel if she woke up in a strange place with a strange person touching you. Her face went bright red, she looks as though she wants to rip my head off. Before she could say another word Aiden cleared his throat and she took a step back. 

    "I have wrapped her foot, it is just a light fracture. She should heal in no time. I will take my leave now if you no longer need me." 

    "Yes that's fine thank you Melissa. Sorry about your face." He said with a panty dropping grin. What the f**k. He kept saying how he wanted me as his Luna and here he is flirting with this f*****g b***h. 

    'Why do you care? You said you wanted him to reject you?' 

    'That's not i meant. I don't care.'

    'Sure Evie.' She's laughing at me. The mating bond is a lot stronger than i thought. I look up to see doctor slut is gone and Aiden is standing at the end of the bed, watching me have a silent conversation with myself. He seems amused. Like i am his own personal entertainment. 

    "Where am i? The pack house?" 

    "No."

One worded answer, sick. He's being cocky, i don't like cocky. 

"Then where am i? And can i have more than a one worded answer ALPHA?"

We sat there in an uncomfortable silence for a moment before he spoke again. Like he was waiting for me to say something else.

    "We are at my house. I bought a separate residence that very few know about. I needed it with the way things are at the moment."

    "You mean with the way your father has been acting? And Ryan?" I feel like i have said too much. He looks angry now but i can't tell if that is directed at me or the situation. One thing about being invisible is i see things i don't necessarily want to see. A couple of months ago i saw Alpha Jason dragging a young girl not much older than me to the woods by her hair. The look in his eyes, i'll never forget it. Every time i think about it a chill runs down my spine. 

    "And what would you know of it?"

His question snaps me back to the present. I look up and no longer see anger, just curiosity.     

    "Today wasn't the first time your brother has corned me into a beating. And your father is not very subtle when it comes to woman or alcohol or anything really. Whenever i see either of them i try to avoid them at all costs. You've seen what happens when i don't"

    Just thinking about it puts a bad taste in my mouth and from the look on his face i would say his as well. He looks off in the other direction as if he is having a conversation with himself, most likely his wolf. 

It seems like they are arguing. 

    'I think he is having a hard time as much as you are. It doesn't seem like he fully believes in having a mate.'

    'What do you mean doesn't believe?'

    'I mean he believes in the moon goddess and mates but it feels like he doesn't believe they can bring him love if that makes sense. Maybe with him witnessing his fathers downfall after losing his mate he believes that a mate without love is safer?'

    'That makes no sense. If he feels that way then he should just reject me and find someone else he can f**k with. I don't need it or him.'

    'Calm down. I am merely taking a stab in the dark here. I have known them for as long as you have. The only way to know for sure is to ask him. Talk to him. And don't write him off to early, the last thing you want is to reject him and live to regret it for the rest of your life.'

    She has a point. I sigh and look back up to him to find he is now staring at me, waiting for me to finish my conversation with Scarlet. He looks a bit calmer now. Well i guess it's now or never. 

    "Why am i really here Aiden? Why not reject me and find someone you might actually like? Why does it have to be me?"

    He lets out a heavy sigh and walks over to the edge of the bed to sit down. He starts running his hands through his hair while staring off into space. Why is he acting so weird? 

    "You becoming my mate, my Luna is the best way for you to have the pack everyone to finally accept you. I am not lying when i say i will treat you right Evie." Oh god he turned and looked me in the eyes when he said that. His words sound sincere but it still doesn't explain what's in it for him? He said himself he doesn't think love works. 

    "What's in it for you? Are you asking me because it has to be me or do you-

He cuts me off before i could finish that sentence. 

    "It has to be you because the council will never accept me as Alpha unless i have my mate and at my strongest. The council is very anal when it comes to rules and tradition. And although there is no law that states an Alpha can't chose his mate they will never stand for it. The will oppose me every step of the way if i reject my mate the moon goddess has 'blessed' me with, with some random girl i have picked from any random family. That's why it has to be you. And you know this will work for both our best interests." 

    Although his words feel real and sincere they also feel cruel. I always dreamed of finding my mate and he tell me he couldn't live another day without me. Just wanting to feel loved. 

    'What do we have to lose Evie?'

If i accept him as my mate will he truly treat me well? If we start a family and have pups will he be able to show them love or will he turn out like his father? Is he a risk i am willing to take?

"Okay. I will be your mate."

    After all scarlet is right. What else do i have to lose?
