Alpha Caleb

Chap-6

Laying on the ground near the pond, which was behind the house. Feeling bored. Caleb was busy training with his pack. I decided to pay him a visit in the training grounds.

I walked through the training area and pack members  looked at me with confusion.

Who is she?

I heard she is Alpha mate.

Who is the stranger?

The stranger.

I reached the place where Caleb was fighting Maxwell. People gathered around them to see, who was wining.

Caleb kicked Maxwell's knee, and he fell down, but grabbed Caleb on his way down, which caused him to fall on the ground with a thud. Maxwell was fast, he got on top of Caleb. But Caleb grabbed him and throw him on the ground, away from him. Maxwell stood up, wiping his blood running down his nose. Suddenly his eyes fell upon me. He smirked and winked at me. I knew he was teasing Caleb. Caleb's back was facing me, he turned around to see to whom he was winking at in the middle of the fight. Caleb made eye contact with me. His nose was also bleeding and a few small scratches on his forehead. He growled at him and charged at him, taking him down and started choking him. For a second I thought he was about to kill him. But he released him when Maxwell surrendered. People cheered for their Alpha.

He was making his way towards me, when a girl, from gods knows where, came and pounced at him. Making him stumble a bit. He steadied himself and her by grabbing her waist. And then the girl hugged him tightly.

My heart crushed into pieces at the sight.

Is she his girlfriend or his f**k-buddy? I thought glaring at her.

People were calmly looking at the scene like it was a usual routine and there's nothing new about it.

Caleb was saying something to her and rubbing her back up and down and smiling down at her. This sparkled a wild fire within me. My wolf got angry at her mate.

I stalked towards her, grabbed her by the back of her shirt and pulled away from my mate.

"Don't f*****g touch my mate!" I growled at her.

She gasped along with other people there.

Pin drop silence.

I continue to glare at her. She shrunk back and ran away.

"Coward!" I hissed.

I glared at Caleb. He was already looking at me, with a look that says its my fault she ran away. I was getting tearful. My eyes welled up and I ran away from there to the house.

I heard him calling me, but I ignored him. I was so angry at him. I ran upstairs and fell on my bed. Tears running down my face.

He can't hug or kiss his own mate. But can hug other females!? This thought made me cry with anger.

I heard opening and closing of the door, heavy steps coming up, they stop at the door of the room. I sniffed. My tears dried up. But I stayed laying on the bed.

I know it was him. A moment later, he opened the door, walked towards the bed, the bed dipped beside me. His hand touched my hair and he continued to run his fingers in my hair.

This gesture calmed me down but I was hurt.

"Its not what you think it is." He said, softly.

I said nothing, hoping he would explain to it me, without me asking him.

"She is abnormal, her mind is like a kids mind. She was attacked when she was very young. The attack left deep marks on her head and she wasn't able to heal. She is Jade's friend and considers me her brother. She is like a sister to me like Jade is. She was congratulating me on wining the fight. " He explained.

I felt ashamed of myself. Thinking of my mate like that and behaving so rude with that poor girl.

"I am sorry." I whispered. My voice muffled by the mattress.

He made me sit on his thighs, by grabbing me by my waist, like I was a kid.

I looked down at his chest, feeling guilty to look up in his eyes. He grabbed my face and made me look up at him. His blue eyes gazing into my brown ones. He caressed the skin below my eyes.

"You cried?" He asked, c*****g his head to the side. His hardened eyes got soft. I nodded.

"Why?" He said with wonder in his eyes.

"I though that....that she was your girlfriend or something." I said, gulping down my guilty.

"She isn't anything of mine. You are mine. My mate. Made for me. I only want you and no one else." his words made my heart burst with happiness and relief. I wanted to kiss him so hard right there but I controlled myself.

"I am sorry. I behaved rudely back there."

"Its okay. But be careful next time okay." he said, kissing my temple. He hugged me tightly.

I put my head on his shoulder and relaxed. He continued to run his fingers up and down my hair. I pulled away and caressed his cheek. He smiled at me. There were patches of blood on his face.

"Come. Let me clean your wounds. " I stood up from his thighs and grabbed his arms and lead to the washroom.

He gave me the medical kit. He closed the lid and sat down on the toilet lid. I stood between his legs. I cleaned his nose and small scratches, which were already healing. His eyes were on me all the time.

"Caleb can I ask you something?"

He hummed. I stole a glance his away and turn my eyes back to his wounds

"Do you want me as your mate?"

"Yes. What type of question is that?. You are made for me. How can I deny the moon goddess's gifts." he frowned.

"Actually, the day we met in my pack, you weren't happy to have me as your mate. You looked annoyed and angry." I said, while cleaning the wound on his left thigh.

"Leah. Look up." he said while lifting my chin up, so I can look at him in the eyes.

" I can't explain how happy I was to find you. Yes I was angry and annoyed. But not with you. I got angry because now as I have found my mate, rogues will find a way to harm our pack, especially you. Though they can try all they can, I wont let them touch you, not even single hair on your head. I am sorry, if I hurt you with my behavior that day and a past few days. This is all new to me and adapting to it. I forgot to apologize for my actions " he smiled.

"No I wasn't hurt. I just doubted you a little, that you don't want me as your mate. Sorry. " I said, feeling guilty of doubting my mate.

"Hey its okay." he chuckled, he caressed my cheek and placed a kiss there, where his fingers were before on my cheek.

I resumed cleaning his wounds. He never looked away from my face.

"Done." I said, closing up the box.

I was washing my hands when he came behind me and kissed my shoulder blade. I remained standing there, surprised. Until he asked me if I was okay. I nodded and walked into the room blushing. Thinking of our little moment.

I laid back down on the bed. Today was a eventful day. I heard running of tap, as my eyelids were dropping with sleep. I felt the bed dip beside me, after sometime. Caleb's arm went around mine and moved me back against his chest. I sighed, smiling. I fell into a peaceful sleep In the arms of my mate.
