Reunites with her Stones Alpha ( Girl Alpha Mates series #2)

~~ ~~ Clenching of the Heart~~

Sage's P.O.V

I was walking Becca towards my office to have a word with her.

I let her go to the office first because I was raised to have respect for women. I should have treated my wife just the same before we got together. I love her so much. I can read Becca's mind. She will try to have her way with me, and I will not let her do that in any way.

I am about to sit down at my desk when I feel arms wrapped around my middle from behind me and feel someone kissing my ear. I was like, who, what the f**k.

“I missed you, baby,” I heard in my ear. “Why haven't you contacted me?"

"Because I do not want anyone but my Mate, which happens to be your supposed best friend that loves you and was sad that you left without knowing you were a b***h and a two-face, towards her back when she wasn't looking. You were the one that got me to hate her because you told me that she would never want a dog like me, and you told me she said that to you, and I believed you all this time. I should've known you were jealous of her ability to have anyone fall in love with her heart and soul and her kindness. I even had a hard time hating her, but I always remember the words you told me she said about me. I made her life a living hell because of you. I almost lost her. I am not letting anyone take her away from me.

So that is why I am going to tell her the truth,” I say. I look over at Becca. She looks angry and is clenching her fists so hard they are turning white on her.

“ You’re mine, Sage, always have and always will be. I do not care how I will have you again, but I will, and I am not going anywhere. I will tell her how you used to wish she was dead, that you hated her. I will tell her that you thought she was the ugliest person you have ever seen. Then I will tell her how you used to get me to pretend to act shy and scared and to be her, so you could pretend you were f*****g her hard and fast, and I would always cry for you like her by pretending like you always wanted me to. I cried in agony also with all the hate you had for her, and tell you to pretend that it was her you were f*****g, but should I continue, baby?” She says.

“Go ahead, Becca, and I will tell her the truth about everything. Then I want you here and never return ever again,” I say with a wide smirk on my face.

She is looking at me like I have two heads, “You’re mine, Alpha, always have been, and if I have to get in between you both, I will,” she says.

“ Let’s see you try, bitch.”

She is walking around the desk where I was, and then out of nowhere, she attacked me and tried to rip my clothes off me. She starts to kiss me and touch me everywhere, then she shoves me down on her, then unbuckles my belt, unzips my pants, and shoves them down. I am like, no, I can’t do this. I won’t do this. I shove her off me, but it's too late... Someone is at my office door, and I heard a gasp. I am like, oh f**k. Lee, my wolf, he is like yep, you’re f****d, even though it wasn’t your fault, but still, you did so much to our mate all of her teenage life. What is she going to believe? You or this whole ordeal.

I look over, and there is Duke with his Mate, Derek, and Vanessa with her husband Guy. They are looking at me like they want to kill me, but what I look closely at was Vanessa, wanting to hurt Becca. Duke and Guy are both glaring at me like they want to send me somewhere that no one knows where to find me. I am trying to mind the link, but they wouldn’t have it; they blocked me, even Lee tried with their wolves, no can do. We were both blocked, and they know not to do that, but I don’t blame them. We’d all become friends after that almost war with The Vamps.

I look over, and I see Gabe shaking his head, and he is holding up my wife because she looks like she is about to go over there and kill either me or Becca, who is still her in her heart and mind best friend. Gabe is looking at me with a smirk and that look, saying, I told you so.

And then I looked towards my wife again, and the look on my wife’s face was the hardest to swallow; her look of disgust, hurt, and heartache. I watched her turn around, then dash down the hallway toward the front door.

“What's the matter sweetheart,” I heard her mother say.

“Sage, oh no, Sage, come here. Amanda left, she drove off. Where is she going?” my mother says.

“Why does my baby girl have tears in her eyes and running down her cheeks, and also why are your pants unbuckled and unzipped?” My father says, “Please tell me you didn’t screw up again.”

I didn’t answer and ran out of the house and shifted. I even tried to get hold of her wolf, but all I could get from her was screams and hurt and mumbling.

“Why did you do this to us? We are going to have your pups, you assholes,” she mind-links back to me.

“I am sorry. I swear she came onto me. I don’t want her, I swear. I love you, baby, please try to believe me. I swear that the truth will come out.”

Lee says to Anaya, “Please believe me. Sage was ambushed by that sneaky b***h, and she is not who Amanda thinks she is. She hates Amanda because she is jealous of her for having Sage’s attention when they were kids, and she wanted Sage, but she lied. She told lies to Sage and me about what Amanda said, but it’s not true. I tried to let Sage know that maybe we should ask Amanda, but he

was so hurt that he just hated Amanda and spent more time with Becca. That is when she started making up s**t even more. Please tell me you believe me. I have never lied to you, baby, please believe me.”

“I believe you, babe,” she says back.

“I have a feeling she is not going to be stronger now by not breaking again so easily. Oh, Sage wants to talk to me. Should I do that?”

“Yeah, baby, do that.”

“Sage, what is it you want to say, and I will let Amanda know for you?”

“Tell her I love her, and I am so sorry she walked in on that., Nothing happened. I was trying to shove her off me. She was the one that was doing it all. I was trying to get her off me, not the other way around, by doing it with her. I swear, baby, please tell her that. Please meet up at the waterfall, so you’ll know whether I am lying or not when I drink the water. Please, it's the only way you will believe me. Please tell her that. I am heading there now. I will wait all day and night if I have to. Please.”

I never beg, but I do when it comes to my Mate. I love her, and she is the only wolf and human for me.

Amanda’s P.O.V

I am in the sitting room with my parents, and then I hear the doorbell rang, and then my friends are all here.

“Where are Vickie and her husband?” I asked. Then I look around. “Where did Sage go, and where is Becca at?”

“Hey, guys, I missed you all so much. How have you been? So Vanessa, how was the short honeymoon you both had?” I say.

“We had a wonderful time. He took me to San Diego to a cabin by the beach. It was beautiful,” she says.

“Yeah, we even ate tofu for the first time, and the soup was weird but surprisingly delicious,” he says.

Duke says, “ Baby girl, this is Derek, my Mate. Derek, this is baby, my sister Amanda, our Luna” and friend,” he says.

“ Nice to finally meet you, Amanda, aka baby girl.”

Guy and Duke growled.

I was like, haha, that is cute, no one can call me that, but for the two and sometimes, I was about to tell Gabe when I saw him coming in with a bag of chips, my favorite kind. I squeal and hug him.

I missed you, bro,” I say.

“How have you been? How was your trip?” Guy says.

“Did you find your mate?” Duke asks.

“ Nope, not yet, but I have a feeling I wasn’t looking around here enough?”

Then we all heard a commotion coming from the back towards Sage’s office. So we all head back there. I was so happy that all of our friends were here, but I understand that Vic, Fred, and Eddy couldn’t make it; they weren't back from their Europe trip yet. I video chat with them all the time. I will be getting hold of them on video chat with all of the gang here. She will love that; I and Vanessa and I have become close, and also Arica and Melissa were iffy, but they came around, and now we are so close.

“Baby girl, let me surprise him by opening up the door and pretending you’re going into labor just for a laugh,” Duke says.

“Oh no, D, he will be so angry about it and grunt and growl at us. Yeah, let’s do it, hehe.”

As we were about to open the door, I heard some grunting and moaning, and I was like, please. No, not again, please. This cannot happen. I waited by Vanessa and Guy, but Gabe was there for me holding my hand.

“It could be nothing, baby girl, sis; it is something different than what you think it is, ok,” he says.

“Ok,” I say. “Hope you're right, bro.”

“Ready 1,2,3,” Duke says.

“No, no, no, don’t open it,” I say.

“We have to,” Guy says, “it could be what Gabe said, or it could be nothing. Do you trust your husband as we trust him as our friend and Alpha?”

I was nodding my head. Before I could say anything, Vanessa opened the door with Duke, and that is when my heart shattered to pieces, and I wanted to kill that she-wolf b***h. I didn't care if she was my best friend when we were kids. Best friends don’t do that to each other.

“Baby, I can explain. I swear I can. Baby, please listen, ok.”

I just looked at him, and that is when he saw it in my eyes. I was going to run again, So I did. I didn’t even go to our room to pack. I just went out the front door when I heard my parents and my parents-in-law asking what had happened. I didn’t stick around to answer. I just ran, and the first person I called was Vickie.

“Hey, girl, what’s up?

“I need to getaway. Could you tell the girls to meet me at an Inn in town?”

“What's wrong, what happened?” she says.

“Becca came back, and we got to talk, but something happened between her and Sage. We all caught them in his office with her lips chapped and his pants down with a look like a deer got caught in the headlights,” I say.

I could sense someone was trying to mind-link me, but I block it. I need to be left alone. It is Sage, the asshole.

Anaya is cursing up a storm.

“Lee swears it was all Becca’s doing,” she says. “Sage is not at fault at all, and he tried to push her off him by shoving her, but she was unbuckling and unzipping him when he was shoving and pushing her off. He swears that is what happened. Both our mates said that.”

“I don't care, and I need to get away.”

Then I felt Lee trying to contact me.

“Baby, please listen; we are innocent, we swear,” Lee says.

“I do not know, Lee, I need some time. Don't come looking for me,” I mind-link him back, then he is mind-linking me.

“But what about the pups? You can't be alone.”

“I will not be alone, I say. “I will have Anaya with me.”

Lee sighs. “What should I say to him?”

“Whatever you think is best, but right now, please leave me be. I am so hurt right now. What I saw in front of our friends was hard to take in. I would have killed both of them. I had to hold Anaya back because she wanted to kill the b***h and our mate. I need time”.

"OK,” he mind-links back.

I see that Sage is calling my cell. I do not answer it, and then he is mind-linking me again, begging me to answer him. I block it and park the car at the Inn.

I pay for the room and fall asleep, blocking everyone out.
