The Alpha's Angel

Chapter 6

Ava's POV

We were now all alone in the room. He studied me with his eyes as he took in every feature of my wolf. He took a step forward and my wolf backed away.

Wait what?

'I thought you were excited about meeting our mate' I said in my mind, as I talked to my wolf.

'He cheated on us!' she answered with a huff.

I didn't bother saying anything else because I knew we were both hurt by what that red-haired b***h, Stella, had said earlier. I don't know if what she said was true or if she was trying to get under my skin, but it worked.

When I had hit her, I was shocked at first, but that shock soon turned into rage as I took out my frustration on her. I think that I was finally tired of people always walking over me and telling me how weak and pathetic I was.

I didn't want my mate to think that I was weak, and I also wanted to prove her wrong. I wasn't sure what the consequences would be, but at this point there was nothing that anyone would do to me that I hadn't experienced already.

Plus, it was a good thing the alpha was away or else I'd be six feet under by now. Attacking one of his pack members would surely sign my death warrant.

I looked at him through my wolf's eyes to see him with what looked like sadness in his eyes before he masked it with a cold stare.

"Change" he ordered in an authoritative voice, throwing a blanket over my wolf.

I could feel the power radiating from his voice as I slowly started to change back to my human form. I lay on the ground with the blanket covering my naked body. I took a look in his direction, only to be met with his retreating figure as he walked out the room.

Not too long after did Katie join me back in the room. I was a trembling mess as I collapsed on the floor. My body felt weak and exhausted from the change and all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and sleep, so that's exactly what I did.

I woke up to a bright light shining on my face. I groaned and rolled over on the bed that I was sleeping on.

Wait, bed?

How did I end up here?

What happened?

As my mind kept on racing, creating scenario after scenario of where I might be, I quickly shot up in bed and opened my eyes. It took a while for me to adjust to the brightly lit room, because the drapes were open and the sunlight peeking through the windows.

Blinking a few times to get rid of the sleep, I focused on my surroundings. Taking my time to look around the room, I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that I was in 'his' room.

To be honest, I thought yesterday never happened. So many things happened yesterday that I actually thought that I was dreaming. There was just no way that I had met my mate. I still couldn't believe that I got in a fight on my first day in this pack, healed a boy and had my first wolf transformation.

It all felt surreal. There was no way that all those things had happened.

'Ahem', I heard a voice say in my head.

'Oh My God!’ I squealed in happiness.

My wolf, Alana, just rolled her eyes at me for acting so childish. But I couldn't help it. I never thought that I would meet her again. I never thought that I would ever be able to shift into a wolf after she had stopped communicating with me.

'I'm sorry', I cried, feeling guilty for everything that I had put her through, that I had put us through.

'It's ok. It's not your fault that you were a spineless i***t', she said in a soothing voice.

I felt very offended, but at the same time I knew that what she was saying was true. I never stood up for myself, never stood up for us. Sometimes she would try to take control of me so that she could stand up for us, but I would always push her away and endure the beatings.

I know that it was hard for her. I know that she has been through a lot, we both have. We were both battered and bruised. We might not have scars on the surface to match how we felt on the inside thanks to my healing abilities. I knew that there was no amount of power that could heal us, we had to work on it together. Hopefully, we will come out of this triumphant.

'Our mate is a d**k', she mumbled with a pout.

'I know', I replied with a sad sigh.

'I can tell that he doesn't want us, but his wolf, Jax, does. That's the reason why he brought us here, his wolf made him take us with him', she sighed.

'We don't need him', I tried to reassure her.

'We do need him! He is our mate, our other half. One does not exist without the other', she argued.

'I get that, but I don't want you to get your hopes up only for it to get crushed', I answered. She let out a long-drawn out sigh and frowned.

'Just know that I love you Alana', I said with a genuine smile.

'I love you too Ava', she smiled and went back into her hiding place to mope, I guess.

I felt a bit relieved that she wasn't too mad at me anymore. Getting off the bed, I went to the bathroom to do my business. I was in desperate need of a shower, so I took a quick one and changed into the clothes that were in my bag that I had brought along with me.

I threw on an oversized shirt and sweatpants. My stomach grumbled as soon as I lifted the shirt over my head. Oh yeah, I totally forgot that I went to the kitchen yesterday to get something to eat when I got sidetracked by that annoying b***h.

Searching through my bag, I found a sandwich that I made days ago. I was about to take a bite when the door opened.

"You're awake" Katie smiled with a tray of food in her hands.

"I brought you breakfast. Please tell me you weren't about to eat that" she said, looking disgusted by my sandwich.

"Hey, this sandwich tastes really good" I argued.

"Maybe a few days ago, yes," she said, placing the tray on the bedside table. I pouted and she laughed.

"Still tasted good" I said, sticking my tongue out at her.

"You're such a child," she laughed.

"I am a child," I defended myself.

"Really, how old are you?"

"18" her eyes widened a bit when I told her my age.

"Oh. You're very young. I'm 25" when she said this, I gaped at her.

"No way, you look so young."

"Good genes. Now eat up" she smirked. I couldn't help but chuckle at her answer.

I ate my food while we talked about random things. I was opening up to her about myself, minus the part where I was the punching bag of my pack. Most of my answers were vague. I didn't want her or anyone to know what I went through during my time in my old pack.

Maybe one day I will open up about those things, but it isn't going to be today. After I finished with my breakfast, we went into town together. Yes, I still got weird stares from everyone, but I ignored it. They were probably just curious to know who the new girl was.

After walking around for a bit, we decided to get some drinks and sat on a park bench by a fountain. I was sitting next to her laughing and joking around when something caught my eyes in the distance, or rather someone.

I took a closer look at the person and my blood ran cold. I dropped my drink on the ground and looked away for a second.

"Are you okay?" Katie asked in concern.

Just as I looked back in the direction of where I saw the person, there was no one there anymore. It must have been my imagination. There was no way that the person was real.

"I'm fine," I said, looking at her.

I took one last look in the same direction where I saw the person and, sure enough, he was there with a smirk on his face as he waved to me, then he walked away.

Oh no.
