Alpha and the Outcast

Chapter Seven

Justin

NO, NO, NO, SHIT! It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. She’s going to hate me and it’s all my fault. Way to go you stubborn jackass. What the hell was I thinking?! My wolf was doing backflips while I’m here freaking the hell out.

He was glad we had marked her as our own, but I wasn’t. Not about the marking of course. I wanted that time to be special for her. An us moment. A memory that she would always remember. And I just ruined it.

To make it worse, I snapped and growl at her. Which in return just pissed her off even more. I tried to apologize and was met with a sound slap to the face.

Can I blame her?

After I acted like a dick. “Yeah, some alpha I am."

I thought about going after her as she stormed out the pack house, but she wants nothing to do with me. I felt my heart sunk to the pit of my ass. Nauseous kicking and it's not from bad food. My mate just stormed out and I had no idea if I’d ever see her again.

Days passed; I was feeling miserable.

My wolf keeps pushing me to go after her, find her and each time I pushed him back. This was his fault too. I was about to go for a run to easy my mind because I needed it, when my phone rang.

Justin: - Hello?

Riley: - Justin?

Although hearing her voice was sweet music to my ears. I also picked up a bit of worry in her tone. A bit of dred filled me. I ask if everything were ok, hearing her say no, my heart sinks a little knowing that this is my fault.

She’s been burning up ever since we bit her neck. My mate was in discomfort all because I couldn’t control my stupid actions and temper. I asked where she was. The need to go and comfort her now on the forefront of my mind. When she replied home, I dashed out of the house.

I floored the gas pedal willing my van to go faster. When I reached her house, I busted through the front door which would need some new hinges and made my way upstairs.
I stopped in front of her door and took a steading breath before I rap three times.

“Riley Grace?” I called.

She answered, her voice a whisper when she responded. “Come in” she replied. I rush in going straight to her side and pulling her into my embrace, and ask “how are you feeling?."

When she says much better, the relief that washed over me, had me sighing deeply with great satisfaction.

I look down into those eyes, one that can melt someone’s heart. So where do we go from here? I whispered in her ear. “I don’t know, she said”.

My heart is pounding in my chest, not sure if she’d like what I’m about to suggest but then again there’s a first time for everything.

“Riley” I said, softly.

I want you to move in with me. She stared at my face studying it a while, then nodded her head. I wasted no time in packing her things as quickly as I can.

She was mine now and forever. I scoop her up into my arms, holding her tight against my body. Not wanting to let go. Her body felt so right against mine.

I apologized to her over and over sincerely, begging her to forgive me. She didn’t forgive that easily, she made me work for it.

Really…work for it.

I didn’t mind though. I’m an alpha, so I was used to hard work. She was my mate, my future and my life and I’ll do anything to make it up to her.

Anything.
