I'm the Alpha's Mate

Chapter 17

My skin stung and boiled on my cheek. A tear ran down the burn, cooling the single stream of my face. I begged myself not to look up because I'm scared of who I'm going to see. But I already know who it was.

The pregnant woman that stood beside me swiftly knelt down and held me in her arms. I let out another small cry from the pain, but also the betrayal of my mate.

"Alpha, y-you can't hit Luna." The pregnant woman stuttered. Why is she worried about me? She just lost her mate?

I couldn't help it, and my eyes peered up at Ryujin. She looked frustrated. Regretful. She ran her hands through her hair then her eyes turned black. In a split second Ryujin sprinted towards the open door and shifted into a ginormous black wolf. The wood floor crumbled under her feet. I sat on the ground speechless.

I quickly stood up and ran to the door, but when I looked out, she was no where in sight. All I saw ahead was an empty field of long grass and the tree line of the woods.

"Luna, we must get the doctor." One of the many guards called to me. Why are they so worried about me?! There is a dead man on the floor!

I turned back with a strong expression. "No, no I'll be fine, I'm going to go find him," I say in an authorized tone. They all looked at me as if I was crazy, and I was. "I'll make sure there is a proper burial and funeral for our beloved, hard-working guard."

So I fled the house and headed towards the forest line, but a very expensive sleek looking sports car caught my eye. A mischievous smile grew on my face and I picked up a fairly large rock from the landscaping.

I held up the rock like a serial killer and glared at my reflection in the tinted window.

"Sorry, Alpha." I muttered before smashing the window causing pieces of glass to fall on my feet. I know I must look like a crazy ex-girlfriend, but that douche just hit me!

Oh dear goddess, I'm turning into a monster. I mean I don't even know what a douche means besides the literal meaning. I learned it off of Jersey Shore, Grandma wasn't home and I was twelve, sue me!

A thousand thoughts ran through my mind, yet I continued to search for Ryujin. She hit me, and here I am looking for her in the woods. I'm clueless and stupid, but I don't care.

After passing by many trees I came up to a small pond. In the water I could see my reflection. My dark brown hair trailed down my shoulders and my eyes seemed to glow in the sun set. There was a red mark on my cheek and my shoulder hurts like heck. But I got at least enough revenge for that, maybe I'll kick her in the balls again.

There was a small boulder resting in the water and a half in the moist dirt. I sighed and climbed up on it. I sat on the top over the clam water.

"What do I do?" I ask down at my reflection. A tear slipped from my cheek and fell into the clear water, making a ring pattern. I don't even know who I am anymore. I just busted the window of a very nice car oh gosh, I hope that was Ryujin's car!

"Why are you out here?" A deep voice calls from behind me, and immediately I knew who it was. My entire body stiffened.

"It's dangerous out here, a rouge could kill you!" Ryujin scolded me and I rolled my eyes.

I spun around on the rough rock and crossed my arms. Ryujin had a pair of black basketball shorts hanging lowly on her hips, displaying her muscular toned chest and arms. There were small and large scars in many places on her skin, I guess from fighting.

My cheeks blushed furiously and I quickly covered my eyes with my palms. Last night I could barley see her bare chest, but now I feel like I'm breaking some rule.

"Why did you hit me?" I ask her innocently with my eyes still covered. Suddenly her hands covered my hands and carefully removed them from my face. Ryujin stood right in front of me, shirtless.

Stay on topic!

She sighed and looked down at my dangling feet. "Yeji there are no words to explain how sorry I am, I hate myself for laying a hand on you-"

I cut her off by hugging her tightly, like it was the last time I would ever see her. "I don't want to hear it." I mumbled into her bulky shoulder.

"But Yeji I-"

"No!" I cut her off again. "You killed a man, and by the looks of how easy it was for you I bet you've killed a hundred more. That's what I'm not okay with."

Her expression changed from apologetic to stern in a single flash. "He hurt you!" Ryujin growled possessively.

"So did you." An extremely pained expression flashed on her chisel face.

"I don't want to hear any apologies, but ryujin you scared me. Y-You hit me and I fear that it's going to happen again." I confess softly to her.

Her hands grasp my waist and she lifts me off the boulder and back onto the dirt and grass. I looked up at her and she pulled me in a tight loving hug. She rested her chin on my good shoulder then kissed it gently sending a wave of pleasure and desire through my aching body.

I tried to lift my arm up but yelped in protest. Ryujin pulled away and scanned me for any wounds. "I think I dislocated my shoulder," I mutter and carefully rub my arm. "You have to pop it back in."

"No, I don't want to hurt you anymore." Ryujin protested.

"But it's hurting me like this." I peer up at her with big eyes and a sad face. "I've dislocated it before and my grandma popped it in back then, just do it quickly."

She cringed then slightly nodded. "Fine but if you want me to stop just tell me."

Ryujin grabbed onto my arms shoulder already making me hold in cries. After one fast attempt, she got it back in. I shouted and yelled then grabbed onto my shoulder. "Ow ow ow ow, that really hurt."

Ryujin placed a kiss right where the dislocation was, then another. The pain was starting to subside and I took in a deep breath. "Thanks." I blush lightly at the many kisses she trailed on my arm.

She didn't say anything just gave me a small smile and yet another kiss on my cheek, but her lips lingered on my skin. I really want her to kiss me already, deep down I ached for her lips to be on mine.

"It's getting dark, let's head back." She said
