The Fated Prophecy

Chapter Four

Alpha Clark's POV

To say I'm a little taken aback is an understatement. What has this sorry excuse for a man done to my mate. I'm raging, all I see is red. I look over she looks afraid of me. Sh*t. Change of plans.

"Hello, Christine is it?" I flash my smile and as usual another female has succumbed to my charm.

"Yes. Who are you?" She's no longer interested. Hmm.

"I do apologize ma'am my name is Clark. Clark Matthews." I feel I should explain myself. I never have before. "I saw this young lady this morning when I was getting my coffee and pastry. I was captivated by her beauty." I look at her, but she seems somewhere else.

"Listen I'm sorry, but I need to be here for my friend. Hell, you just heard all of that. How can Tim be so f*cking stupid?"

"Christine." Isobel whispers her name. "It's not his fault I messed up." Tears falling from her eyes.

I just want to go over and wipe them away, make her feel better. I'm rooted to the ground.

I notice Christine glance at her watch. Isobel sees this too and speaks.

"Christine, go. Go home to that hubby of yours and those precious babies. When you get there give them a kiss from Auntie Bel." She gives a small smile.

She likes kids? I always wanted pups. My heart is so big right now. Wait, will she want to have me? Have my pups?

"Isobel. I can stay."

Waving her hand Isobel stops her. "I will be fine. I just need to sit here for a few minutes."

Christine looks at me. "I can sit here with Miss Isobel. I promise no harm will come to her." I don't know why but I crossed my heart.

Christine's lips are in a small tense line. "Ok Mr. Matthews, but I'm warning you when I call Isobel in a few hours she better not tell me things I do not want to hear." I just give a small nod and smile. She's feisty. And she seems to genuinely care for my mate.

Christine gets into her car and zips out of the small lot behind the coffee shop.

I look back to Isobel with her face buried in her hands still crying.

"Go to MATE! Comfort her. Our closeness will ease her pain. Stop her from crying. I can't stand seeing Mate in pain." Harvey growls at me. Really? Since when? 

I decide to speak. "Miss Isobel, my name is Clar...."

"Mr. Clark Matthews. I heard." Why is she looking at me like that? I step forward and I smell something. It is so faint I didn't notice before.

"Harvey, she smells like a rogue."

"So." He growls. Again with the growling? What is his problem?

A million thoughts run through my head. This must be a mistake. The Moon Goddess wouldn't mate me with a rogue. No she messed up.

"NOOOO! She didn't."  This wolf. I swear when things are settled here he is getting a piece of mind. 

Isobel speaks before I have a chance to say anything. "Yes, Mr. Matthews I am a rogue. I have been thinking those same thoughts all day." What is she talking about? "The Moon Goddess made a mistake. Mating an Alpha such as yourself with a common rogue."

I will not deny I was thinking those things, but I believe in the mate bond. I don't care if she's a rogue. She's MINE! I scream in my own head. Harvey growling with joy that we are not rejecting our mate. He's still getting a piece of my mind later.

"Mr. Matthews as you stood there and heard me pour my broken heart out to my friend I only ask if you could wait some time before you reject me. I don't think I'm strong enough to deal with that right now." Her eyes pleading with me. Then she lowers her head back into her hands.

Harvey and I are now panicking. Does she want us to reject her? Why did I have to second guess the Moon Goddess? I make my feet move to where she is sitting on milk crates. I crouch in front of her. Her cries are now just sobs. Is it us? Are we comforting her just by being close?

She slowly looks up and she's startled I'm right in front of her. She just blinks, confused maybe? I reach for her face with both hands. What is that feeling? Never have I felt this with a she-wolf.

"Miss Isobel, I am not going to reject you. I also will not lie to you. I was thinking for a second that maybe the Moon Goddess made a mistake. I believe too much in the mate bond to believe she could ever make a mistake. She has her reasons and I will not second guess them again." Tears still flowing I wipe them away. "I do not like seeing my mate cry. Besides I couldn't reject you if I wanted to." I let out a slight laugh.

"What's so funny? There is nothing funny here." Again her tears ripping at my heart.

"Miss Isobel, what I meant is I do not want to reject you. And I can't reject you anyway." She's confused now. "I do not know your last name. So, as long as you keep that hidden there is no chance I can reject you. But, like I said I don't want to." She smiled. Her smile is perfect. I love the way the corners of her mouth raise up to show two dimples that for some reason I hadn't noticed in the coffee shop. I want to kiss her. My hands are still cupped to her face even after I wiped her tears away I just couldn't let go. I didn't want to let go.

Looking into those emerald green eyes that seem to glow when looking at me I am captivated. I don't know what comes over me. I slowly pull her face to mine. I want to feel her lips on mine. Her eyes never leave mine. Just as our lips are about to touch she closes her eyes. I stay staring until our lips touch. Electricity is all I feel when our lips finally meet. Does Isobel feel that too?

Just as I am asking myself that she deepens the kiss. Her hands cupping my face and running into my hair. I couldn't think, my lungs were burning. I heard something behind us, but I ignored my instincts. I didn't want to let go until we both heard him. "You f*cking nasty wh*re. Is this why you have made me wait, because you were f*cking him?" He spits out his words. 

We split apart and I growled. How dare he speak to her like that. I stood and stared. Isobel jumped up to explain herself.

"Tim. I..It's not wh-what y-you think. Please. I don't know him. I just met him today when he came in for coffee." Tears again. I'm going to kill him.

"I don't believe you. SL*T. You were practically f*cking him right there. You wouldn't even do that s**t with me. I'm glad I've been f*cking Erica for two years at least she knows how to please a man. And it has been confirmed she's having my baby. You disgust me." She is being destroyed my this human in front of me.

"Tim, please. I love you. We can work this out. I don't care you cheated. Please don't leave me." She's bawling. I can't believe what I'm hearing from her. She wants to be with him, she loves him. Then anger I'm going to reject her.

"No you are not. She doesn't understand. I can feel her wolf she wants us. She knows. Isobel doesn't think she's good enough for us. This a**hole just broke her heart. Because she wanted to wait. She is pure and perfect. DO NOT REJECT HER!" Harvey wants to come out and he's making it hard for me to keep him back.

"Um... No. I don't want you. Honestly I don't think I ever really wanted you. I just wanted to f*ck you and deflower you. I got comfortable with you supporting me. Hell the ring you threw at Erica was paid for with your money." He laughs at her. Then he looks at me. "Good luck f*ck boy. Ya might want to get tested glad she spared me from that. Bye wh*re." With that he turns and walks away. I seen red. I took one step after him then felt a small hand on my arm stopping me. She must have felt my anger. I immediately calmed down. What did she just to do me?

I closed my eyes. I turned towards my mate and open them. As I feared she can barely breath because she's crying. She starts coughing and drops to her knees. He destroyed my mate in front of me. I feel a need to touch her, so I bent down and rubbed her back. What I want to do I know I can't. I want to take her and show her true love. She is slowly calming down. She's back down to sobs after almost making herself vomit a few times.

Isobel grabs my arm and gets up from the ground. "I need to go home to see if Tim is there. I'm sorry."

She lets me go and walks to her small car and gets in. I pull out a card the ones I normally kept for any she-wolves I found myself attracted to. This is the last card I'm giving out and it's to my mate. My one and only, my future Luna, wife, and mother to my pups. I know I'm reaching already, but I have hope. I will not give up on her.

"Miss Isobel." Her hands tightly gripped on the steering wheel she looks up at me. I saw a flash in her emerald green eyes. With what though? I realize I'm staring. "Please take my card. My cell number is on the back. If you need anything I beg you do not hesitate to call me no matter day or night. I will come right to you. Okay?" She nods as she takes my card.

"I'm sorry again Mr. Matthews. Please think about my request and wait a little before rejecting me. I'm sure you can figure out my last name."

What? Didn't I just tell her? Wh...Why? I pinch the bridge of my nose a bad habit my father also had. It does help keeping some emotions in check. "Yes, Miss Isobel I will wait." I turn and walk away. I don't want her to see that she has turned this big bad Alpha into a puppy dog. Plus I feel tears, anger, fear, hope. I glance back she hasn't moved yet. I hop in my Jeep start her up and take off squealing tires leaving rubber behind. I am pissed I am going to kill him.

"What are you doing? GO back to mate. We need her. I won't let you reject her."

"Shut up mutt." I never speak to Harvey like that. "I am not rejecting her I am giving her space."

"She doesn't need space she needs us to heal her."

"No, I am not forcing her. Look what that d*ck did to her. He tried for Goddess knows how long and when she refused he f*cked her friend and got her pregnant."

"Sorry Clark. I just want our mates. I want to see her wolf. She is strong. I felt like she was trying to reach me."

"Patience buddy if she doesn't call right away we will just have to come for coffee everyday to see her. Didn't she say she worked at a nightclub? And there must be something wrong there is no way she can reach you. We are not connected."

"Yes, but didn't say which one. I know what I felt. She is strong and she doesn't know it. I do."

F*ck. I have no clue what Harvey is talking about. I think he's just going crazy because our mates do not want us. Well I'm sure her wolf wants us, but Isobel doesn't her heart belongs to someone else.

 "Just be patient my wolf the Moon Goddess knows what she's doing. I hope."  With that I push Harvey back and just drive around.
