My Alpha, My captain

Chapter4

Jackson

After the football game, I wanted to reach out to the isolated Wolf from last night but she was gone.

All I felt for her was sympathy, I couldn't relate to her predicament but I knew it hurt.

My story is a different one. I don't do the love or dating thing because I hate women a lot. I hate women including my mother.

Shocking right? What if I said my mother was the reason I hated women? My dad, the late Alpha of Rivermoon pack told me the story of how my mother abandoned us and left. She abandoned not just my father but me also.

Since childhood, I'm not interested in love. I don't know how I was going to choose my Luna but I knew I would cross that bridge once I got there.

Recalling that Sarah told me that today was her birthday and she was having a solo celebration, I decided to look for her. There was no other place for her to be if not the bar where we met yesterday and my presumption was right.

I got her a small cake at a store nearby, it was going to be my little present to her. Even though I rarely cared for any Wolf, I found myself

concerned about her, probably because of the humiliations she had faced from her ex-boyfriend.

“Happy birthday,” I said, dropping the small cake on the table.

She received it and blew off the candlelight. “Thank you.”

I have never felt this way before, the intense desire to sniff someone, hug someone. I felt it a bit on my way to this place but now it's stronger. It's so powerful that I wanted to mistake it for Sarah.

“Mate,” we growled together and I found out I wasn't mistaken for her, it was truly her. Sarah was my mate!

I could see the confusion in her eyes, she was not so happy but she wasn't sad either. I think she was waiting for my expression before knowing how to react. I might be wrong, I might be right.

Standing awkwardly there wasn't going to help so I turned my back and left. At least I had done the most important thing I came to do, to wish her a happy birthday.

I turned my back and left without saying anything to her. Don't get me wrong, she didn't say anything to me either. I transformed into my wolf and ran to my pack, Rivermoon pack. I even forgot my car and forgot that I drove to school.

“Are you trying to say that the isolated wolf I hear about is your mate?” My beta asked after I narrated everything to him.

He was the first person I consulted whenever I was in trouble. My beta was very close to my late father and because of my young age, I go to him most times when I'm troubled to help me with solutions.

“Did you reject her instantly?” he grumbled like it was nothing.

“I couldn’t reject her, I feel this connection with her. I don’t know, I need time to think about this.”

“She has a cursed bloodline, she won’t amount any good to you. You have to reject her instantly.”

This might be the first time I would go against the beta but like I said, I needed time to think it through.

“Did you forget how bad you despise women? Did something change? Did that desperate she-wolf try to seduce you into this?” My beta asked, seeing how indecisive I looked, I said I was going to think about it but it seemed like he knew my solution already.

I raised my left hand to signal him to stop talking and he just bowed a little and left.

Sarah.

After the word mate came out of my mouth, I gawked at him surprisingly.

Many thoughts were running through my mind. Was he going to accept me? What does he think of me?

Jackon might, Sorry, Alpha Jackson might seem like a tough person but in the few moments I spent with him, he showed me nothing but care.

Though I didn't know much about him, I only got to find out that he was an Alpha of the Rivermoon pack today. There might be other things I don't know too, but something I was certain of was that behind his tough nature and loathing for women, he was kind to me.

Jackson must be as shocked as I was and he would need time to make up his mind.

Looking at the cake he had brought for me. I called Claire to find out if she was okay.

“I think he likes us, his wolf likes us too. I can feel it, so he will come back to us.” Claire assured me.

Her statement relieved me a bit and I believed her. I quickly ate the cake and went back to my room happily.

It's been three days now and everything has been going the same way, the same routine.

People still looked at me weirdly in school, I don't know how they heard the news but I overheard them saying they knew I and Alpha Jackson were mates and he wouldn't waste time to reject me.

Our Alpha had also called me to confirm how true this was. He asked if Alpha Jackson had rejected me and I told him No.

The way our Alpha talked about Alpha Jackson made me believe that he was a strong Alpha among his fellow Alphas. His pack, Rivermoon pack was also among the powerful and less attack records.

“He must have been in great shock for having someone like you as a mate. Don't worry, he will come for your rejection soon.” Our Alpha groaned at me as I sat on the mat with my head bowed.

Alpha Jackson wasn't like that, I didn't want to believe any of them or the rumors they said. I would wait for him to come.

Throughout these three days, we did meet in school but we didn't talk. He didn't approach me and I was scared to do that. I would rather wait for him.

On the fourth day, I met Jackson in school earlier but as usual, we didn't communicate and I was back to the pack. There was nothing much to do so I just stayed in the room.

I heard a knock on my door and opened it, the face looked strange, I had never seen him in the pack before.

“Alpha Jackson of Rivermoon pack said I should hand this over to you.” He dropped the item on my doorstep.

Before I could say anything or ask any questions, he left. It was a brown envelope.

I stared at the envelope as I brought out the written note inside. What did Alpha Jackson write to me? Was it a rejection letter?
