Fighting For My Mate

Chapter Five

Irene's POV

          After crying in Jared's arms for a long time I fell asleep.  I woke up in my bed and was confused as to how I got here.  That was until I remembered everything that had happened.  I remembered about Finding out that my mate was no other than the famous Alpha Rick Collins.  He was known by everyone in our world.  How couldn't he.  I mean he was alpha to the biggest pack of warewolf.  His pack was known not only for ther size but for their strength.  This was a pack that no one wanted to mess with.  All my life I've heard about girls dreaming of being Ricks mate but never in my life did I think I would en up being his mate.  He wasn't only known for his pack but for his reputation with women.  Which was another reason why I had to stay away from him if I didn't want to get hurt again.

          I was so deep in thought that I didn't hear the knock on the door until Jared poked his head in.  "Are you okay love?" I didn't know how to answer that question.  I just wanted to sleep and not wake up until I had a solution all of this.  I was obviously not okay but I had to be strong.

          "Yeah I'm okay." I whispered. 

         "Want to talk about it?"  He actually seemed woried and it killed me to know that I was the cause of his worry.

         "Yeah.  I guess that could help me clear my thoughts."  I really did need someone with me right now.  Someone who could just hear me out and not judge me for what I did.

          He walked into the room and sat next to me on my bed.  "Come on, I'm all ears.  You know you can trust me.  I want to know why you were crying once Rick left.  Did he tell you something bad?  Was he the cause why you were crying?  Did he tell you you couldn't join the pack.  Talk women!!  Tell me am I going to have to eat take-out again?!" he asked facking horror.  "Please tell me you will still be able to cook for me, because after tasting you marvelous food I know I can never go back to eating take-out." he facked cried.

          I couldn't help but laugh at what he said last.  That dumbass would care about food.  "Really Jared?  Food?  Do you love me just because I know how to cook?" I teased him.  I couldn't help but smile when ever he's around.  He always has a way of making me feel better by making me laugh.  He really is a great guy and I hope that who ever is his mate knows how much this guy is worth and learns to cherish him.

          'unlike others' my wolf groweld.  And just like that I was back to the sad state I was in before.

          'Thanks a lot.  That really did hurt.  You know, you could be a real bitch sometimes' I snapped at her.  I really loved my wolf but at time I hated her too.

          'Gee I wonder who I seem to be like' she said sacastically.

          'Dont start with me.  You know you'll never win' I warned her.

          'Yeah I know how fucking stubborn you could be at times' she snapped at me.

          'Gee I wonder who I seem to be like.  Anyways end of discussion.'  I really didn't want to hear what she had to say because I knew that would only make me weak and at this time I needed to be at my strongest.

          I snapped out of my little fight with my wolf when a pair of hands clapped loudly infront of my face.  "Earth to Irene.  I repeat: Earth to Irene" Jared said looking at me with an amused look.  "Wow you can really space out Irene.  Here I am declaring my undying love for you and you leave me hanging.  I'm pouring my heart out to you.  Telling you how I fell in love with you since the first time I looked into those beautiful big brown eyes of yours and what do you do?  You ignore me.  Here I am answering your question and you ignore my answer.  I'm really hurt Irene." he said looking away.  What on earth is he talking about?  Love declaration?  What the hell?
