Her Alpha Mate

Chapter 5

Jaxon's POV

My best friend asked my mate on a date and she freaking accepted it! I didn't know where this anger came from, but the very next minute, I cracked a wall and blew my knuckles. Well, I didn't know what I did. I don't remember anything except Tyler asking my mate out.

"Hey Darl." I heard a seductive voice and an arm snaked around my waist.

I know it's Veronica.

"Why did you come?" I asked her while looking at the cracked wall.

"You asked me to come" she shrugged as a matter of fact. Wait.. but I don't remember calling her. Anger is taking the best of me now. I think I should talk to my mate. If this keeps going on, I'll lose my sanity. I don’t even understand why I keep calling her my mate.

"Let's talk tomorrow, Ver. Not in mood" I said, throwing off her arm and walking towards my bed.

"You are not you. And you know what? Ugh.. nevermind!" she huffed before slamming my door shut.

I forced my eyes shut after struggling for minutes and slowly, I drifted off into sleep.

I woke up early in the morning. I guess I now have insomnia, thanks to my mate. It feels like I cannot sleep without her.Fuck this s**t!! I got ready and made my way to school, only to find my mate absent. She didn't come to school as well as Ashley. A corner of my heart is just glad that the human guy who made her laugh is at school. He is not with her.

The whole day passed by a blur. I debated on whether to meet my mate or not. When I finally decided that I'll just go and get it done, I went to her home. Because she's in our pack, I can know where she lives. I'm the Alpha. Nothing happens without my consent.

“And yet you don’t even know her name or existence”Mason comments.

I don’t want to talk about her with my wolf. Because the mate part is associated with the wolf side. And Mason might flip if I tell him that I plan on letting her go.

But what happened next, broke my heart. She and Tyler were walking. Hand in hand. And my mate was smiling. Maybe I'm not the one for her. I may not make her smile. I may not love her like I love Veronica. But, this scene is killing me. I blame the mate bond.

I shifted mid air again and went on a run. I wanted to hunt. I wanted to kill someone or something to vent my anger out. I ran till I reached a pond. And there was a buck drinking some water. I gave full control to Mason and sat back in my mind.

Mason shook his fur and eyed the buck. The buck raised its head and sniffed the air. It caught my scent and that's when I jumped out of the bush lunging towards it. Just a bit, I missed it. But Mason was in his Alpha mode and chased that buck. I soon caught it and killed it in a snap.

I laid there till morning not knowing what to do. I just didn't want to go home. I don't want to see Tyler though he's my best friend. I don't want a mate. I don’t want her as my mate.

It's Friday today. Just today and it's the weekend tomorrow. Call me a child or whatever but I hate going to school. And I even have my Alpha Duties so it's just too much.

I quickly got ready to go to school and the first thing I saw was my mate talking to Tyler and God! They were laughing. When did Tyler decide to become a pain in my ass?!

"I need to talk to you," I said, turning her attention towards me.

She nodded and looked at Tyler who shrugged. What does she mean?? Is Tyler her boyfriend now? And why do I feel the need to punch my best friend’s face?

"Alone," I said looking at Tyler and he took the hint that I used my Alpha tone. He scurried away fast enough.

"I know we don't like each other. But for me to survive, I need my mate close to me. So......." I trailed while looking at her. She was looking at me with those big brown eyes, raised eyebrows, waiting for my response while nodding. She's perfect. But I'm not the one for her. I don’t understand why Moon Goddess paired me up with this beautiful Omega.

"Ok. So I want you to stay with me since you are my mate" I told her and she looked at me wide eyed. I just love her eyes.

She suddenly smiled. She smiled looking at me. Wow. I can just look at her smiling all day. God!! She's so beautiful. Wait.. why is she smiling? Before realisation hit me hard I spoke the words I would regret my whole life.

"But.. I just need you so that I can survive. Until I mate with Veronica. She'll have my pup and he'll be the next Alpha. I can't just mate to a low ranked wolf. So after I have my pup in my hands, you can reject me then." I said and then dared look at her.

Her eyes pooled with tears. Her mouth hung open and she was glaring at me. She was trying to say something but words just didn't come out. Everytime she opened her mouth and tried to talk, she would shake her head and look down.

She finally looked at me, and that's when the first tear rolled down her left cheek. My heart felt her pain. And this time, it was unbearable. My breath got hitched and my legs gave up. Is this what she is feeling now? Pain?

That's the pain of my mate. She's hurting. Just like I am. I looked up to see her. Before I looked at her , my face met with her hand. It stung on my cheek and that's when I knew, my mate slapped me really hard.

And my Alpha blood didn't take this well. Alphas always love to be superior. So I just caught her jaw and said,

"You are coming with me this evening. That's it" I used my alpha tone.

She slapped me again before storming away. She slapped me twice and I still felt her pain overpowering this.

What have I done??? I stood there thinking at what I did because to me, it sounded stupid.

"Ok. I'll come. Because I need to survive too" my mate spoke, turning around again and I nodded.

My mate will live with me at the pack house but I don't know how to face her. This mate bond sucks.

The day is gonna be long I guess.
