My Alpha Mate

Chapter Eleven

I have not slept in three days. I'm afraid to close my eyes for even a second, terrified of Mark coming after me. I don't let anyone in my room, not even females. I haven't had anything to eat in a day and a half. My wolf is ready to murder me.

And Tyler is still not here.

Neither is Marius.

But Mark is.

So, of course, I'm pretty terrified.

Although, I think I feel safer than if Marius were here.

I seem to be afraid of back-stabbing, two-timing, evil, traitors.

I've tried to pack-link Tyler, but he won't answer me. Our connection has been cutoff or something.

One other thing? My flippin' wolf wants to shift. AND I CAN'T LET HER! The room isn't big enough to actually do anything, and what she really wants to do is run. The only way I could possibly do that is if I ask to be let out.

Which requires asking to be let out.

So that's a no.

I listlessly walk to m-the bed and lay down to sleep, which is pretty much all I've been doing since I found I was going to be used. I'm not tired in the least, but there's not much else to do.

I finally drift into sleep, and have another strange dream.

***************

I'm in the woods, right outside of Quinn's pack house. I can see all my friends, but they don't seem to notice me. I step forward a little bit, to where I can hear what they're saying.

"Look, I don't- can't- believe that May ran away. I know her, and I know she wouldn't abandon us all." Izzy tells the group.

"I don't believe it either. But what am I supposed to think? She's not here, there's no sign of a struggle, no unknown scent." Tyler says sadly.

I'm right here! Your father kidnapped me! I try to shout, but can't.

"Plus, Marius was probably the closest person to her- sorry Izzy, but you were with Harry. If he said she ran away - and was even cocky telling me that - then I have to believe him."

If only he knew.

"But I'm saying I grew up with her. I know her inside and out. If she were going to run away, she would tell someone. Why is the idea of dad coming to kidnap her so strange? He probably has the resources to do it."

"That's not a possibility. We had wolves patrolling the border all around. Also, I think I would be able to tell when my father, my betrayer, was near." Tyler responds.

Wow, cocky much?

"Well, I guess we'll just have keep sending people out to look for her. Let's focus on the plan to defeat Mark." This was Quinn.

"He's right. Back to the thinking board."

**************

I woke up with a gasp, breathing heavily. That was pretty odd. I think I pack-linked to someone in my sleep... without them knowing. I'm not positive, but I think that may be a Luna thing.

Which is funny, since technically I'm not the Luna yet... we haven't mated.

But anyway, I still wanna know what just happened. They didn't even know I was taken! And Tyler believes I ran away!

I don't know how to feel about that.

Then my day gets 83642756% worse- Marius walks in... with Mark.

"Hello dear. It's been a while. I would have come to see you, but I was busy getting your little mate to believe you no longer loved him. It was easier than I thought it would be, by the way." He gives me an innocent smile.

"You look a little worked up- would you like to go running?"

"Oh please, please." I'm begging and I don't even care right now. I literally need to run, before my wolf takes control and just shifts. That may be bad.

"You may run as soon as you do as we ask."

"Um... it depends."

"On?"

"On what you want me to do."

"I only request that you allow us to go with you."

"Sure. But don't get too close, because I swear to God, if your fur brushes mine, I will tear you apart."

"Of course."

The three of us walk out of the room, and stroll past my guards, who I didn't even know I had. They lead me outside and I almost cry. The smell of nature, the feel of grass. It's great.

"I have men posted around the whole perimeter of where I want you to be. See one of them and either go back, or turn. Do not engage in conversation, do not pack-link them, do not attempt to break through them. Understood?"

"Yep. Thank you." I may hate him, but I was raised to be polite.

I step behind a tree, stripping to shift. I fold the clothes up and let my wolf out. I leap through the brush, dodging trees, chasing small animals. I make sure to keep in a circular pattern, and never meet the guarding men. I only see Marius once when I looked behind me. They kept up well, a couple steps behind me or over to one side. When my wolf is satisfied, I run back to the tree, make sure no male is around, and shift back. I redress myself and walk back to the pack house. Marius and Mark are waiting for me there, and they lead me back. Mark only takes me as far as the door, but Marius comes in to talk with me. I sigh, knowing I can't really do anything about it.

As we're walking through the door, I ask him, "What do you want? I don't really want to talk to you."

He chuckles and answers, "I know you're upset with me, but hear me out. I find out my mate is in this pack, but he's loyal to the past Alpha. I was drawn to him, so I decided to at least listen to what he had to say. But then he made sense. I can't tell you why, but he did. I figured I needed to stay with my mate, and it was obvious he wouldn't leave. Mark was gracious, he let me hang on the fence for a while, before he promised the Beta title. That wasn't very important, but it was the final push. My mate and I are happy, we're excepted. I can't imagine Quinn being okay with his best warrior being gay. This way, I know I'll always have my mate. Can you at least kind of understand that?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't. A mate wouldn't do that to you. They're supposed to care for one another. Also, you were basically a bug. It would have been so much better if you had just left, came to this pack. Instead, you betrayed us all, and I can't forgive that. I really am so sorry."

"Me too. I had hoped maybe you would change your mind, join the right side. I tried, don't ever think I didn't."

"What are you talking about?"

"You'll figure it out. Have fun being alone in here again."

I'm alone now.

First thing want to say- nobody guessed from last chapter. Boo you all.

Second- MAM is completely off the ranking. I figure it's because I don't update everyday, but I have a life outside writing, so bare with my weird updating schedule.

Third- My most popular chapters are the ones with Tyler/May action. I know you all want romance, but the story needs more than just kissing and fighting with your mate. There will be some of that, but you need to keep reading.

Fourth- I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. I was pretty proud of it, and I hope it suffices. It's a little bit longer than the last one, so yay for that.

Stay cool y'all,
