Made For The Alpha

Frustrations

Anthony's POV

I don't get it. I just don't f*****g understand. I finally found my mate after 12 years. Twelve f*****g years and she acted like she wants nothing to do with me. I slammed the door and got out of the bedroom as fast as I could before my wolf could tear her clothes apart. My Wolf, Ranger, wanted to mate with her and mark her right then and there.

Before I left, I made sure to lock the door so she could not escape; or so that any unmated males wouldn’t be able to get in. I didn't understand what was going on with her, but I did know that there was no way in hell I was letting her go. She was mine.

After leaving my mate, I stormed into my office and plopped down in the chair. I ran my hands through my hair. I let out a sigh of frustration. “Go back to mate. Breed mate now.” Ranger was growling and snarling in my head.

“We can't right now. She said no and I have no plans to force her.” I said to Ranger as I thought about how to explain consent to an animalistic counterpart.

“Fine, could we just cuddle? I could smell her.” Ranger desperately asked as he tried to persuade me.

“We don't even know her name.” I stated matter-of-factly.

“I want mate.” he whimpered.

“I know, I do too. But we have to be patient, so we don't scare her. If we scare her, she will reject us.” I said that last part in almost a whisper. “And we’ve waited too long for that to happen to us.”

Four hours later, I found myself back at the door to my room and just stared at it. I finally willed myself to move my hands and knock on the door. When I didn't hear anything, I thought “Maybe she’s asleep.” I unlocked the door and opened it slowly and peeked into an empty room. I threw the door the rest of the way open as I let out a glass shattering roar. My dark black eyes darted around quickly; they searched every possible hiding spot until I noticed the open window.

I ran and jumped out of the three-story high window and shifted midair. The ground shook as I landed on all four paws. I ran as fast as I could after her.

“No, mate can't leave us.” Ranger snarled as he padded through the forest as he traced her scent.

“No.” I thought, “She can’t.”

Kaya POV

I ditched my shoes and managed to climb down the side of the pack house without anyone knowing or hearing anything. “Yes,” I whispered out loud with joy and a fist pumped. I quickly covered my mouth and looked in the direction of the forest. I sprinted toward it as quickly and as quietly as I could.

“Where are you going? Mate isn't there.” Nova asked, upset at the thought of leaving her mate.

“Sorry girl, but we have to do it. This is what's best.” I said in an attempt to soothe her anxiety. She whimpered but didn't protest. She loved the boys just as much as I did.

I started making my way through the tall trees. “We have to get back to the boys, grab them, then we'll get out of here and go anywhere else because we can't stay here now.” I told her and myself. Nova could sense the desperation in my thoughts, so she said nothing.

A loud roar shook the ground and cut through the quiet of the night. In an instant, I knew it was him and that I was in trouble because he was on his way to find me.

I started to run faster in the direction of my Nana’s house, not daring to shift because it would make my scent stronger. I wasn't sure what to do if he caught me. I knew I couldn't outrun an alpha, especially if he was in wolf form, but I still had to try.

I could feel his aura getting closer so I climbed the nearest tree. Shortly after that, a huge black wolf came running up to the tree that I was hiding in and started sniffing the ground, slowly circling the tree and then looked up with a snarling growl. Suddenly his voice came flooding into my mind over the mind link. “Come down, little mate.” He said with irritation laced through his voice.

“Let me think about that for one second. Yeah, no.” I answered sarcastically.

His wolf harumphed in frustration. “Please, little mate. I promise I won't hurt you.” I said nothing in response. “You can't stay up there all day.” he said in reply to my silence.

“I don't know, it's kind of nice up here.” I looked around at the branches surrounding me, “Peaceful. Less alpha-y.” You could almost hear the smirk on my face.

“I'm losing patience with you, love.” he snarled.

“See, that seems more of a reason for me to stay up here and away from you—” I was rudely and abruptly cut off by his huge wolf knocking into the tree. I lost my balance and desperately tried to grip the tree to no avail. I fell. He shifted as fast as lightning and caught me before I hit the ground, I landed roughly in his arms with a thud. Immediately, pain shot through my body and my toes curled in reflex. That was going to bruise. “How dare you?” I hissed in pain. This whole situation was getting more and more f****d by the second. I attempted to kick and throw myself out of his arms but stopped when I realized he was naked from having just shifted. My eyes grew wide at the realization. “Clothing!” I squealed as I covered my face to hide my reddened cheeks.

“I shredded them coming after you.” he replied with his rough, deep, handsome voice. I kept my eyes plastered closed as he carried me back to what I presumed was the packhouse. I reached up to my hair and found that it was a rat’s nest, tangled and messy. I knew my dress was torn from the climb up the tree and I tried to cover my exposed skin from him.

Eventually we reached the pack house, and he kicked the door open, he wasn’t going to put me down. I tried my hardest to ignore the pain in my back as he shifted my body in his arms. He carried me back upstairs into his bedroom. After shutting the door firmly behind him, he finally set me down on the bed with a bounce. He turned towards the dresser, opened a drawer and pulled out some basketball shorts; Which he put on with lightning speed. I watched quietly as he grabbed another pair of basketball shorts and a large T-shirt, then threw them at me.

“Change.” He said to me as he turned around. I quickly discarded the dress and put on the clothes he had given me. The shirt was huge, but it worked. I triple tied the shorts and sat back down on the bed. He walked quietly to the armchair and picked it up, setting it down right in front of me. He sat down and we stared at each other for a couple minutes in silence. His eyes were mesmerizing, I could see the emotions he was feeling as we stared at me intently. I felt— ashamed? Baffled? Shy? I didn’t know, but I looked away and down at his closed fists. He let out a husky growl as he clenched them tightly. “What is your name, little mate?”
