The Alpha King is My Mate

Ignored

     Its been 5 days since I started this heat. And its been getting worse everyday. So I've had to be near Victor more often.

He's been really busy too. And stressed out. When I'm not laying with him, he's in his office, or doing something that has to do with working. He doesn't even talk to me when he's with me. Only holds me for a little to ease the pain, then leaves with barely a word.

I know he's worked up on that 'Nate ' guy, but he doesn't have to completely ignore me. I'm starting to think he doesn't want to deal with me anymore.

While I'm thinking to myself, Maria and I are in Victors room painting each others nails.

"Do you think Nick wants kids?" She asked.

I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Why? Did he mention something?" I chose to respond.

"Well, because I've always wanted kids. A family with a mate to kiss me and help me take care of the little ones when I need a break. But I'm worried that if I mention something to him, he'll reject me." She said looking down.

"Maria, he won't reject you. He's always been the one to want to be a dad at an an early age. He used to to tell me he wanted a boy first and then a girl, so her big brother can protect her when he's not there. Just ask him." I told her.

She smiled and reached for a nail file. I noticed something red on her neck.

"Mary? What's that?" I moved the hair off her neck. Then it hit me.

"HE MARKED YOU!!" I squealed excited.

She put her hand on my mouth.

"Yes, he did." She said giggling.

I observed the beautiful marking. Its a red rose with the initials N.C. in pretty writing.

My mark is a full moon, with a wolf overlapping, and the initials V.P in cursive.

"Its beautiful." I told her.

After a couple hours, she had to leave. I couldn't leave because Victor says its dangerous for me right now. Where is he anyways?

Hours passed and my pain and hunger increased. I decided to go get something to eat, then look for him.

I walked out and carefully made my way to the kitchen. Thankfully there wasn't anybody else there.

I grabbed some bread, peanut butter, and raspberry jam, quickly making a sandwich.

I sat down with a glass of milk and took my time eating. Halfway through, I heard footsteps approaching.

I looked at the entrance and saw CHRIS come through. I was shocked. I never thought I'd see him again.

I got up and started backing up to the back exit.

"I swear, I'm not going to do anything." He held up his arms.

"How do I know that?" I said.

"Easy. If I wanted to do anything, I would have already tried. Instead of standing here like a guilty child." He said laughing.

I looked at him suspiciously before sitting back down. He slowly came and sat next to me.

"I wanted to come and apologize for what I did. I'm not asking for forgiveness, but it'd be nice to have it."

I looked at him weirdly.

"Well, I can't forgive you yet, but I'll work on it." I say with a small smile.

"OK, I'll live with that... So how has my brother been?" He asked getting up.

"Ignoring me." I state sadly.
