Where's my Alpha? (GirlxGirl)

Chapter Thirteen: Jealousy

Riya P.O.V

I could not believe my ears. We were going to be having another bonfire! I loved sitting around a warm fire talking late into the night. There's nothing like it. A bonus is that we could invite one person from another tribe to join us. My father had decided this would be another good thing to help calm the tensions between the packs. I knew who I would be bringing.

Then I could even cuddle with her under the moonlit sand and talk. I could be accepted by the end of the night! It was a perfect idea.

I was interrupted by my epiphany by Steven.

"Going to the bon-fire Riya-bug?" He pulled on my hair. I settled back into our friendly way of things.

"Of course, Steven" I jabbed him in the side with my finger, "Why would I miss the stories told at the fire? Oh wait- I miss them anyways because someone talks my ears off."

"Keep hating. You would rather listen to me then those boring ol' stories anyways."

"As if I had a choice." I swatted at his hand which was still entangled in my hair.

He snorted. Then my phone vibrated. I took it out. Before I could hold it away from where he could see it he read the message from Kendra.

Hey Gurl.... You still plnning on taking your mate to the bonfire? She didn't want to go so I already told her she had to go because she was an Alpha. Good lie huh?

Steven's face reddened and his eyes snapped up to mine. He said everything between gritted teeth. "You. Have. A. Mate."

I winced. I had avoided telling him this for days because I was scared of his reaction. Just proved I was right .

He looked at me with fire in his eyes. "Your. Mate. Is. An........Alpha."

He snarled in my face before stalking away. It hurt to see him like this.

Then he turned back with an almost evil grin on his face. "But you haven't seen her very much have you? Well, it's obvious out of the two of you who is reluctant... you're ALPHA MATE."

Reminding me of that made me want to cry. She wasn't all that reluctant.... Was she? Besides, we were getting along better and better. Nothing would deter me.

"Therefore, I am still in the competition! If she breaks your heart I will be right here to catch you when you fall. Ha. And she will break your heart." Steven promised me a glint in his eyes.

"Steven...." I whispered. "Don't.... Just, Don't."

He looked at me and swallowed. I could see his pain for a second before his eyes became hard, "We would have been so perfect together Riya. I.... I...." He pushed a hand through his hair.
