The Gamma's Daughter

Chapter Fifteen

Mercy

🦋

Today is now Tuesday and I have been keeping to myself since the party a few days ago. I mostly been avoiding any and everyone besides my Mom. I decided a jog would help clear my mind and get me out of the funk I am in so I went to the lake and started running around it creating my own track.

Billy has still yet to link or come and talk to me so that only tells me one thing. He chose his Mate. I can't be mad at him for that, but what I am mad about is the fact the he could have fought harder for our Friendship instead of giving up completely and submitting to her.

It is what is it I guess. I should be used to losing Friends by now, but what hurts the most about this one is that he is still alive and well choosing not to talk to me. I really think his Mate would understand and even like me if she was to get to know me, but I'm not going to keep bringing myself down over it. Yeah, our Friendship was close, but his Mate is more important.

I mean, come on! I gave my position as Gamma to him. Granted I didn't want it, but I could have chosen anyone else, yet I didn't. I talked my Mom into choosing him because he was my Best Friend and right for the job. It is what it is.

I just kept jogging until I seen movement through the trees. I quickly stopped and jumped behind a tree peaking out. It was just Michael and Cooper so I sighed relieved, then kept on jogging. I passed them with a nod and smile. I would have stayed to talk, but I really like this song playing through my ear buds right now.

The thought of Bash came up and I had to shut that down immediately. Every time I seen him, I turned around and walked the other way before he could even see me. I've been doing good with ignoring him or so I think so. I come to realize that I don't regret the night because the sex was fucking mind blowing, but due to that reason I decided to ignore him. I can't chance it.

When I find my Mate, I don't want to have to have an awkward conversation about my night and semi weird relationship with Bash. I just hope my Mate doesn't think less of me for sleeping with him.

When I got back to the house I went straight to the basement which wasn't empty. I ignored Billy as he trained with his Mate who I still don't know the name of. I could have asked my Mom, but I decided not to bring it up. I'm glad she isn't pushy on the subject and respects my boundaries of not wanting to express my feelings on things I don't want to speak of.

As I was doing pull up and listening to my music I was surprised by a gentle tap on my hip. I opened my eyes, then dropped down a little confused on why his Mate was even touching me. I thought I disgusted her?

She said something, but due to my earbuds still playing music, I didn't hear her. She looked intimidated and I didn't like that. Why all the sudden is she acting all innocent and scared like she wasn't a bitch to me? I pulled my earbuds out raising a brow.

"Hi." She smiled lightly.
"Hi?"
"I just wanted to say that I am truly sorry. When I first met you my Wolf and I were very terrified that you were a threat to mine and B's relationship. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions as quickly as I did without knowing more about you." She apologized.

I looked into her eyes seeing she was telling the truth, but what I didn't understand was why they didn't come to me sooner.

"Where is this coming from all the sudden?"
"Every time he would bring you up I would snap and shut him down. He told me he wouldn't mark someone who didn't want to get to know his Family." She sighed.

I get it now.

"I see. So you're only apologizing because you want to be marked and Mated to 'B'."
"What? No." She stuttered.
"Merce." Billy sighed causing me to roll my eyes.
"It's cool. I get it. I'm not mad."
"I really am sorry. I didn't want to listen to him until he made me listen. He told me about y'all's Best Friends group and I immediately felt bad about how I treated you. You don't have to forgive me out of an obligation to your Friend, but I still would love if you would." She smiled kindly.
