Rejecting the alpha

Chapter 18

Oscar's POV

Everything had been going so well, she had woken up in my arms and lent into me for support. In my head, my wolf was howling with joy, having my mate in my arms was the most amazing feeling in the world. I could feel our bond, wherever our skin touched, sparks coursed through my body. I could feel our bond getting stronger, I never wanted to let go. I had to suppress a whine when she stood up, I stayed as close to her as I could. When everyone went their separate ways to find a room, I watched as she walked towards the last door on the right of the hallway. I wanted to be as close as she would allow, so I picked the empty room beside hers.

It was a nice room; the view was beautiful. I walked out onto the balcony; the forest spread for miles. The mountains in the distance, the snow covering the trees making everything look like it was covered in a white blanket. A smile spread over my lips when I realised our rooms were connected, the balcony joined the two rooms. If I couldn't sleep in there with my mate, this was definitely the next best thing.

As I was unpacking my things, I heard her scream, Xander instantly took control and ran into her room. She was standing in the room wearing nothing but a towel, Mason was staring at her. How dare he, she is mine not his. Grabbing him by the neck I pushed him against the wall, I could feel his fear, but I didn't care. I heard Sam running in and felt him grabbing my arm trying to pull me away. I couldn't do anything, Xander had complete control, his anger was fuelling my own, making it hard to even want to stop him from killing the fae.

"Who the hell is Xander?" As soon as the words left her lips, I turned to her, she started walking towards me. Putting a hand on my arm, calming me slightly.

"Please can you let him go, he's my friend." My grip loosened slightly. I felt Mason take a breath. I took a look at my mate, my eyes travelling down her body. My anger returning, how dare he be in here with her looking like that.

"Why was he in here?" I growled, watching her flinch back brought my anger down. She was afraid but I'd never hurt her. I'm scaring my mate.

"He was looking for Skye, I walked out of the bathroom as he came in. Please let him go." She was begging, there was no need, I had already made up my mind. I was not going to let my mate look at me in fear again. I released Mason, not really caring when he fell to the floor. She ran straight to him, I had to stop Xander from ripping her away from him.

"You okay, Mace?" Smiling up at her, he nodded, she helped him to the bed. I sat in the chair across the room, trying to hold Xander back as best as I could. The second that idiot started moaning I wanted to tear his throat out, he was in her bed moaning for Christ's sake. This boy has a death wish.

"I think this is the most comfortable bed in the world, what is it made out of, clouds?" She started laughing and joking with him.

"No, don't be absurd. Angel feathers, very rare." They were both in fits of laughter, struggling to breathe. It hurt to watch them, they acted like they had known each other for years. I envied him, all I wanted was for her to treat me like I was something to her. Every time we got closer, she would pull away from me, when she had said she couldn't be with someone like me I thought she had meant supernatural. But she seemed perfectly fine with him, maybe it's just shifters she doesn't like.

I missed most of their conversation but from what I picked up; Mason wanted to see her car. I was just grateful she was getting dressed.

"Dude, you need to reign in that wolf." I looked over at the fae, he was always a cocky bastard. If he weren't my sister's friend, I would stay clear of him.

"Stay the hell away from my mate and I will," I growled back.

"It was an accident; I came into the wrong room," he protested, before lying back down in her bed.
