Him, His Uncle And I!

7 Rebecca

" Please save my friend!" I exclaim. My head is hanging low but not lower than my knees, which are kissing the hard scorching ground.

That's right, I am kneeling in front of the alpha, asking him for mercy. Usually, I would not dare do this, but right now, I did not have a choice, Getty's face got worse. She suddenly turned purple and could not breathe, and worst of all, she kept screaming hysterically, saying that she did not want to die. Now, how could I ignore her pleas when she is like that because she helped me?

(Smack) His guard slaps me. The crisp sound of the slap resonates so much that everyone in the street pausesband looks our way. But as soon as they saw that it is little old me, one of the slaves, they continued with their business like nothing happened.

My head is ringing, and my vision is a bit blurry, but I can still see their nikey kicks in front of me so I don't move. One way or another, I must make him help us. Getty can't die like that, I won't allow it.

" Who do you think you are? How can you disrupt Alpha's afternoon walk like that." One of his subordinates speaks.

I remain silent with my head hanging low still.

" Move away right now before I make you. Who are you to ask for mercy from our Alpha? Why should he help you?" He continues but I still don't say anything. I am not here for him but the alpha, if he can find it in his heart to-

" Rebecca, right?" The Alpha's booming voice gets me out of my thoughts.

" Y-yes, sir?" I say, still looking down because we are not allowed to look at any of the Alpha's family members in the eye because that is considered a sign of disrespect.

" I commend you. No one has ever dared to jump in front of me like you did. However, don't beg so much for friends. You never know when they will betray you." After he says that, he walks around me.

He takes about five steps forward with his subordinates following him shortly and I watch them pass me, I bite my lip and decide to go all in or go home. Getty's life is hanging by a thread.

" But she will die!" I exclaim again.

They pause. The subordinate walks back towards me. I can tell that he is angry from the way he is walking. His steps are heavy and hurried like he will attack me but I don't make a move. I remain in my position waiting for his assault.

However, another pair of shoes step up before me. My heart skips a beat because I don't need to look up to know that Ryan is standing before me. I can recognize everything about him, from his pair of shoes, his favorite denim Jean or even his shadow. I would never miss these because they are my favorite too, what he likes automatically becomes something I will cherish because I like him. Even the fact that he sometimes acts cold towards me evaporates the minute he shows the slightest bit of concern for me.

" I'll handle this, Robert." he says with in a stern tone.

" It's my duty to handle anything or anyone who disturbs the Alpha's peace. Now prince-"

" Robert." The alpha interrupts Robert. Robert pauses and then scoffs,

"Alright, you can take over, as long as she does not bother the alpha again." With that, the two pairs of shoes disappear from my sight on the ground.

I remain rooted on the ground because I know that my mission has failed, the Alpha's did not budge let alone listen to what I have to say.

" Come on, are you going to keep kneeling there." Ryan's cold voice snaps me back to reality. What is this? Why did he save me if he is going to be this cold?

" Uh, no." I say quickly, standing up and cleaning up my knees. Great, I have pink and red spots on my knees, I was biten by something. Why did I have to wear shorts today out of all days?!

Since we are alone, I still glance at him, and before I can say anything, he says,

" Let's meet at our spot in 10 minutes."

and then he leaves just like that.

I know I shouldn't be wandering around but I figured that maybe he can help me get to the pack doctor. So 10 minutes later, I am here standing in front of Ryan.

He closes his eyes and when he opens them again, they are slightly red. This is a bad premonition.

I try to walk towards him, but he says, " Stop."

And I freeze and put my hands awkwardly in my pocket. For some reason, my heart is pounding, and I catch a scent. It's a sandalwood, am I imagining things? I sniff the air again and yep, it's there, and it's coming from him.

I open my eyes shocked and I find him looking at me intensely.

" You just found out? Tch, how weak is your wolf for you to not even recognize that your mate has been close to you all the time?" he says

" Huh?" Wait, that's not what he should be saying. Shouldn't he be excited? I know I am, my mate is my freaking crush! The man I fantasized about all these years, he is my mate.

My phone suddenly vibrates and it's a message from Kayla. -any luck? she's getting worse.-

In panic I rush to Ryan and hold his arm, " Ryan, we can talk about us later, right now, a friend of mine, Getty, she needs our help. We have to go." I then turn and move forward but then I pause when I realize that he is not following me.

" Ryan?"

" I told you to not touch me. There's no us, Rebecca."

Shocked I turn yo face him, " What do you mean, Ryan? We just found out that we are mates, we-"

" Rebecca!" he interrupts me.

He breathes out heavily.

" I called you out here...to reject you as my mate."
