The alphas sister is my mate

Chpt. 7

-Erica's p.o.v.--The end of half time-

I screamed in pain as my ankle twisted the wrong way. My hands flew to my ankle as tears quickly stung my eyes.

"Oh my gosh are you okay?" Kelly, one of the cheerleaders, asked.

"No, I think I sprained my ankle" i said as all the cheerleaders crowded around me. Our coach and Kyle came running onto the field.

"Don't touch her!" The coach called out. She kneeled in front of me.

"Can you stand?" She asked.

"I don't know" I said.

"Help her up" she said and the girls helped me up. I took a step forward but fell from the pain that shot up my leg.

"I can't, it hurts" I said.

"Kyle can you carry her back?" The coach asked.

"Of course" he said and picked me up bridal style effortlessly.

"How bad does it hurt?" He asked.

"Really badly, it feels broken but I know its not" I said and he nodded.

"So why weren't you focused?" He asked.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Come on, I know you Erica this wouldn't have happened if there wasn't something you need to get off your chest" he said and he was right.

"I don't want to talk about it" I said remembering the cuts on Jaydas arm she was so quick to hide then run off.

"Does it have anything to do with your mate?" He asked and I shook my head no, lying.

"It's just me, I'm not in it today" I said and he sighed.

"If you dont want to talk I'm not forcing it out of you" he said and set me on the bleachers.

"Ow" I mumbled as my ankle throbbed.

"I'll get you some ice" he said and walked off.

"Are you okay?" I heard someone ask behind me. I turned to see Jayda, I looked straight again.

"I'm fine, it'll heal" I said as the coach came over.

"Let's get your shoe off" she said and went to untie my shoe.

"Ow" I mumbled and she roughly started to take off my shoe.

"Ow, that hurts" I said sorta snapping at her.

"Sorry, but your foot is swollen" she said and finally got my shoe off. Kyle came over with a bag of ice and gently put it on my foot.

"If I know anything about you Erica is that you'll be back out there by tomorrow" kyle said and gave me a cheeky smile. I smiled slightly laughing.

"Of course I will, have you learned nothing about me?" I asked and ruffled his hair. He laughed shaking his head at me.

"I need to get back to the game but keep the ice on it" he said standing up looking at me.

"I will, win the game" I said.

"You know I will" he said and kissed my cheek before he ran off again.

"I'm gonna go" Jayda said and I looked at her.

"Why?" I asked and she glanced out to the field.

"Jayda-"

"No, its okay" she said getting down from the bleachers and walking off.

"Jayda!" I called as I got up limping after her.

"Wait please, I told you I broke up with him. There's nothing between him and I anymore, I swear" I said and she turned around to look at me.

"How do I not know that? Do you even still want me as a mate?" She asked taking me aback by surprise.

"Why would you even ask me that?" I asked.

"I know you saw it, the cuts on my arms. Why would you want me as a mate?" She asked.

"Yes, I saw it and I want to know why but I wasn't going to force you to tell me. It hurts me to know that you're hurting and won't tell me why. I don't care that your a girl and my mate, I don't care about any of that. I care about you and only you" I said meaning everything.

"Im jealous-"

"Of Kyle, I know. But I mean it when I say there's nothing there and if it helps any we've never done anything sexual because we're both saving ourselves for our mates. I want you and only you. I will never reject you Jayda Winters because I, Erica Moon accept you as my mate" I said and she smiled a real smile.

"You accept me?" She asked and I nodded.

"Of course, and I will tell you again and again till you believe me" I said and she came closer to me wrapping her arms around me. I hugged her back loving the feeling of her in my arms. I looked to my right towards the field to see Kyle looking at me wide eyed. He heard me...great.

How many times do I have to tell him not to eavesdrop on me?

-after the game-

I stood by the bleachers my ankle almost healed. I had my arms crossed over my chest waiting for Kyle.

"Your mates a girl?" I heard kyle ask. I turned to look at him.

"I can explain" I said.

"I don't think there's anything to explain" he said.

"Yes, there is, when I found out I wanted to reject her because I didn't want my mate to be the same sex" I started.

"So why didn't you?" He asked.

"Because when she looked at me, I didn't want to anymore. I wanted her close to me. Is it so wrong to have a mate of the same sex? There are plenty of gay mates in our pack" I said.

"Why havent you told anyone?" He asked.

"I did, I told Heather" I said with a shrug.

"You know what I meant" he said and I sighed.

"I don't want anyone giving her hate or me hate. I mean i went from dating a guy to being mates with a girl" I said throwing my hands up in the air.

"I understand"

"Please don't tell anyone" I said and he sighed.

"Okay I won't" he said and I smiled hugging him.

"Thank you"
