The 'Rogue' at the End of the Tunnel

14. The Beta's Love

No reply.

He just goes silent. I wait in order to hear his answer in this annoyingly stretching awkward silence.

I finally put off my cheery facade as he stares in to the space. I shift a little bit to sit in a normal position and stare into the space just like he was.

"It's hard, huh? To let go?"
I murmur in a soft voice.

"It is." He somehow managed to croak out.

I sit there still trying to figure out a plan on bringing him out of this situation. I could directly ask him to reject his fated mate and claim Amelia as his but that would make me heartless.
Fuck! What am I supposed to say.

"Do that."

Huh?

"Go on and tell him to reject his fated mate and claim Amelia as his."
I hear a very familiar magnetic voice in my mind.

Blade.

Well, that's my mate's way it seems I think as a smirk forms on my face.

"You know what? You both should just reject you fated mates and claim each other." I suggest nonchalantly, like it was a normal thing any other wolf would do.

I was more than aware of the fact of how harsh and underhanded method that was. And of course I didn't want to witness anything like that.

He abruptly turns to look at me, his eyes wide as saucers, a snarl for back up.
"You must be kidding me." He responds while trying to hold back the snarl that was to be followed.

Wow, Alex is such a easy person. Note the sarcasm. I had thought he would just become more disappointed, but it just got to his nerve. Shit, I am starting to want to kick my mate for putting such a thought into my mind.

"Well, what's so wrong about it if both are so in love with each other. You guys are fucking Beta and Third-in-command of our pack. Damn it." And I said it. The one thing I was trying not put it so harshly.
Alex still looks at me like I was threatening to kill both of them, ready to attack.

"What? Am I wrong." I continue with what you would call a sly smirk still playing on my lips. His face changes ever so lightly as uncertainty flashes through his eyes.

"Wouldn't she listen to you if you asked her to reject her mate? Aren't you the ever-known lovers? Aren't you confident? Or are you afraid she doesn't lov-"

"Shut the fuck up!" He literally growls. Followed by another.

Oops, wrong call.

And before I could say anything his off the roof and down.

"You are quite daring to direct your growl towards your Luna, don't you think Beta?" I hear my mate practically snarl, threat clear in his voice.

Uh-oh. Blade had already kicked him down. Seriously, this Alpha...'s not bad huh.

"Get your head straight, you fucked up Beta. You cannot let such trivial matters get to you, if you don't dare to make it work." My mate growls at him.

I see Alex still sitting down on the grass while rubbing his head.

"Sorry, Alpha." Is all he can mutter.

"Huh, for crying out loud. You never get to choose whom you fall for. But you can't have it affect your morals. For a moment you even considered going along with her plan." Blade announced out loud.
My mate looked really handsome as his jet-black hair gleamed under the sunshine, his blue oceanlike eyes held overwhelming amount of pride and his voice held authority as he gave the Alpha speech.

I was so lost in admiration that I had failed to notice the incoming sourness in my neck since I had been looking up from my position still sitting while Blade was still standing.

"What am I even supposed to do?" Alex questions followed by a slump.

"I Alpha Blade Silvas of Rogue Under the Moonlight Pack revoke your title as the Beta of Rogue Under the Moonlight pack, Alexander Rian Greece." My mate declares as both of our expressions turn into that of horror. I was still better, however Alex had gone pale as a sheet, like he had seen a ghost.

"Whaaa-" I am still halfway through when Blade intervenes.

"It's only until her birthday. You are free until then. Take your time to come up with a solution. I will be waiting for your return." He states, as warmth takes over his eyes and a warm smile embraces his lips, while he puts his words into action with open hands.

This action of his spurts a whole bunch of butterflies in my stomach, I feel giddy all over to see this side of my mate. He had a knack of handling situations. Unlike the rumors, this guy was simply lovable. The rumors even said that the Rogue King would skin you alive if you were to engage in any displeasing activities.

"Wait, who even does that?" He suddenly questions me as he had his body completely facing towards me, he had bent a little bit with both his hands on his hips, with an eyebrow raised. He looked like a mother right now, it was laughable, at least I wanted to laugh out loud. But he seemed have noticed it as well.

He backs off, straightens and jumps down the roof, and he sets off at such inhuman speed, he was already nearing the house, leaving with a huge patches of red on both my cheeks. I don't know why I was blushing stupidly, however his last reaction seemed to have brought this on. He had been a little flustered and that is why he had left so fast.

My phone starts to ring, I pull it out of my pocket to see that it was from my mate. I place it on my ears after receiving it.
"YOU ARE COMING HOME, RIGHT NOW." He proclaimed and the phone goes off with a beep.

"What was that?" I think to myself.

I look at Alex, who looked a rebellious kid being grounded for stealing a candy still sitting on the grass. He hadn't moved an inch. He had this unbelievable expression on his face that I had this urge to click a picture of him and tease him once everything was alright.
Well, I do it either way once I was down. I clicked a ton of pictures from different angles hurriedly.

"Hey, it's okay." I blurt regardless of how everything was going to end.

"He wouldn't take anyone else for his Beta." I reassured with a smile.
"Also, I am sorry, I cannot stay here anymore. My mate seems to want me there." And with that I am off to go to my mate.

Blade.
