His submissive alpha mate

Chapter Three

"I'll figure this out tomorrow." Is what I said but... I lied.

It's been a total of maybe three days since I met my mate and I have obviously despite what I said, been avoiding him.

"You look like shit." I look up from the plate of food I had been staring at for the past twenty minutes to my best friend Tyler.

"Morning." I mumbled ignoring his comment.

He reached out from behind me and took a strip of bacon off my plate before stuffing it into his mouth, "You still avoiding him?" he questioned with an amused smile that had me believing he already knew the answer.

"What do you think?" I questioned back sarcastically.

Of course I was still avoiding him, that was the reason why I was in such a terrible mood.

Ever since I met my mate, Antony, and started avoiding him I've had trouble sleeping and the fact that I still get up early every morning doesn't help.

He hummed with a chuckle as if he were actually trying to think of an answer, "Mhm your still avoiding him." he said starting to laugh harder.

I elbowed him in the side causing him to wince in pain before sitting down beside me, "Hey, don't take your anger out on me!" he said as he continued to rub his side before taking my plate.

I watched as he scarfed down everything that was on my plate and tried my best not to throw up.

On top of those two other issues I also haven't had much of an appetite, I guess that's what I get for avoiding my mate.

I laid my head down on the cool table starting to feel worse than I had before, I didn't know what to do my wolf Omarion hadn't been talking to me.

He blocked me out after calling me stupid for avoiding our mate and not giving him the chance to understand us.

To be honest I am being stupid but I can't help but avoid him. I'm just so scared that once he finds out about me he won't want me, I can't handle being rejected.

"Why aren't you eating?" a deep voice asked into my ear and that's when I finally noticed the sweet scent in the air.

Really! Am I that exhausted that I didn't even notice my own mate enter the room?!

Instead of running off like I usually would I stayed put, I was just too exhausted to try and avoid him at the moment. Also his presence was helping my headache

"Luca?" He called my name in a more demanding tone.

"I wasn't hungry." I said still keeping my head on the table.

"You haven't been hungry a lot lately." he said knowingly.

"I already gave my plate to Tyler so I won't be able to get a plate anyway." I replied sounding ruder than I intended.

I didn't even have to look to know he was glaring at Tyler, he had been doing that a lot lately.

I told Tyler I'd handle it and get Antony to cut it out since it was scaring him but, I obviously haven't been able to do that since I'm actively avoiding him.

"I'll give you my plate so you better eat it." he began walking away but stopped and turned "Stay put." he ordered before turning back and disappearing into the kitchen.

As soon as he was in the kitchen I immediately got up. I went upstairs as quietly as I could not wanting to give away any proof that I had left.

Once I reached my room I plopped down on my bed, still feeling exhausted from the lack of sleep these past few days.

'Why did you leave me here with him?' Tyler's voice whinned into our link.

'You know why.' I sent back before closing the link before he could answer.

"Your an idiot." Omarion growled into my head.

"Welcome back your highness." I said sarcastically with an unamused laugh.

"Why won't you just try and talk to him? Your not even giving him a chance to try and understand us."

"Don't be an i***t you know why. He'd reject us the moment he found out we weren't dominant, I'm just protecting-"

He cut me off with a growl "Don't you dare say your trying to protect us!"

"But I am." I said

"Luca are you f*****g serious right now?! Antony's not submissive. the way he handles us is proof of that." he snapped

"Goddess can you stop being so weak?! His rejection could destroy us, don't you get that?!" I snapped back.

"But he wouldn't reject us."

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do!" he said with one final growl before receding back and blocking me out.

I sighed leaning more into my bed. I closed my eyes feeling my headache from before coming back.

Before I know it a couple of minutes pass and I begin to doze off, eventually falling asleep.

*****

"I can't believe you almost slept through the meeting." Tyler said in an amused tone from beside me.

A few minutes earlier Tyler had came to wake me up because my alarm obviously didn't.

Now we're in a room with a few other drudgery pack members waiting for

Kevin, aka the alpha, to get here.

Before they even make an appearance a sweet smell wafts into the air. No less than a minute later Kevin and Antony come walking into the room, me and my mate make eye contact and I not so subtly look away.

Kevin sits down and I immediately look back up putting all my attention on him since the mate I'm trying to avoid is sitting directly in front of me and openly staring at me.

During the meeting Kevin talks about a ball that will be held a week from now, he said the ball was for an alliance with another neighboring pack.

That's actually the real reason why he invited us over to his pack in the first place, he wants us to witness and be a part of his packs new alliance, see I told you our packs are just like family to one another.

Once he had finished telling me and Tyler about the other pack we would be meeting and explaining to us the details of the ball he dismissed everyone from the meeting.

Kevin was the first out the room then the other pack members followed. I was right behind Tyler but as he walked out the room I was pulled back and I heard the door shut.

My back hit the door and I gasped as I felt the warmth of a hand grabbing onto my waist, even through my shirt I could feel the little shocks of electricity on my skin, letting me know exactly who had grabbed me.

"Hello mate." His voice grumbled into my ear sending shivers through my body when his breathe hit my neck.

His voice sounded deeper which confused me, I used my hands to pull his head up so that I could look him in the eyes.

Once his eyes were focused solely on mine I noticed they were a darker purple than before, they almost looked pitch black. I knew what that meant, it meant his wolf was in control.

I tried wiggling out his grip which only caused his wolf's grip to tighten, he put his face back into my neck and deeply breathed in my scent.

The same way Antony had the day we met except this time his wolf started unexpectedly trailing kisses up my neck to my ear, where he started to nibble on my earlobe.

A whimper escaped my throat and he let out a low growl as my body continued to shiver under his touch. "Why're you shivering?." he asked teasingly and I swear I could feel him smirking against my skin.

I felt his large hands go underneath my shirt and rub up the sides of my stomach before eventually reaching my n*****s.

I moaned when he started fumbling around with my hard buds while still continuing to trail kisses up and down my neck.

All thoughts about avoiding him flew out my head as my body became over taken with pleasure, and all he was doing was playing with my n*****s!

Suddenly he stopped and removed his hands from underneath my shirt, another whimper escaped my lips and I wrapped my hands around his neck to keep him from moving.

"Please." I begged him, He looked conflicted as his eyes began to darken and cloud with lust. He leaned in towards me but instead of kissing me he whispered into my ear "No." before forcefully but not harshly removing my arms from around his neck.

I felt pain in my heart at the removal of my hands, Is he rejecting me?

"Why?" I questioned, hurt lacing my tone as I assumed the worse. His features softened, he swiftly pulled me by my waist into a tight hug.

"It's not what you think love. We just need to talk about a few things before we can continue, okay?" he said rubbing my lower back reassuringly.

I nodded my head against his chest understandingly, though I was still scared about what he wanted to talk to me about.

"If I let you go, your not gonna go running off right?" I shook my head no which resulted in him loosening our hug and using two of his fingers to lean my head up. "I need words love." he teased with a smirk.

"No, I won't." I said immediately and he smiled before kissing my forehead.

"Good." he said grabbing my hand and leading me out the room, we went up a few flights and I started to become confused on where he was taking me but I didn't ask.

A couple seconds later he turned around to glance at me, "We're going to my room, figured it would be better to speak in a private place." he said as if reading my mind and I nodded in response.

We walked down a hall and stopped in front of a door before going in, he locked the door behind us and when he turned around his eyes were back to their regular purple letting me know that he was back in control.

he led me over to a couch and we sat down facing one another, he waited for me to get settled before starting to talk.

"I'm going to ask you a question, don't lie to me." his tone was serious, causing me to gulp before nodding my head. He looked me in the eyes as he asked his question, "Why were you avoiding me?" he asked.

I shifted on the couch at his question and directed my eyes to the ground. I hesitated not knowing how he would react to my answer. I know it's stupid because just like Omarion had said Antony is anything but submissive it's just, what I say could be the reason I possibly end up rejected.

He placed his hands on the side of my face and forced my head up so that I was looking him in the eyes. "Nothing you say could ever make me reject you." He said again reading my thoughts.

I nervously chuckled to myself before letting out a long breathe of air,

Okay... I can do this.
