Being The Alpha Female | completed

[ 3 ]

Once we got back, we went straight to see mum. She was actually resting in their room. The doctor had said everything was fine. Well, apart from bruises. "Hey mum, you okay?"

"Yeah I'm good." She says, smiling. "How was the meeting?"

"Uh, yeah it was okay." I debated whether or not to tell her I found my mate. I mean, Seth was in the room too so I wasn't sure if I should.

"She found her mate." Gee, thanks dad.

"She did? Oh well done, Chloe!" Mum goes to get up and dad pushes her back down gently.

"No, you need to rest." He says.

"I just wanted to give her a hug that's all. My baby is growing up and has found her mate!" Mum was smiling ear to ear and dad didn't really have any look on his face. Seth, he had mixed emotions I think. I just stared at her. "What?"

"We got into a pickle." I tell her. She gives me the look as if saying seriously-that-doesn't-explain-a-thing. "It's Caleb. He's my mate."

"Him? Seriously? That player?" Seth almost shouts.

"Shh, I'm not going to be with him anyway. My responsibility remains here. Besides, dad got into a fight with him, kind of."

"Oh Elliot, what the hell did you go and do that for?"

"He was hurting her! He had this tight grip on her arm and-"

"Elliot, shut it. You done exactly that when we met." She scolds, playfully glaring.

"Yeah but-"

"No buts." Seth and I looked at each other and snickered. "You guys may be 17, but you act like five year olds." She says, rolling her eyes at Seth and I. "And you, young lady, better go fix things with that mate of yours."

"What? Why?"

"A mate is for life, you only get one."

"Or none at all.." I look at Seth with sad eyes. I always felt bad for him. We were twins, so alike with everything. Yet, we were still different in such a big way.

I was werewolf, he wasn't. I could have a mate, he most likely couldn't. I could shift, he couldn't. I could mind link, he couldn't.

We were the same, but different.

"Seth, there's still-"

"No there isn't, Chlo."

"You have to have faith."

"It's fine, I'm not a werewolf like you and dad." He then walks out the room and I knew he was upset. I hated this. If I could, I'd change get it so he was werewolf and not me. It'd make me feel so much better. I have always hated seeing him upset.

I frown and go after him. As I reach the door, mum calls to me, "Chloe, leave him. Just for a bit."

"But he's upset.."

"I know, but he just needs time alone okay?"

"Okay." I still walk out anyway. I head to my room and decide, why not have a shower? They always relaxes me when I was stressed. Right now I was, because of Caleb.

He has a sexy name, Chloe, my wolf says. I laugh and shake my head. Admit it, you know it's a sexy name..as well as himself, she purrs.

I am not admitting anything. I cut our connection so I could shower in peace.

After showering, I head out of my bathroom into my room with a towel wrapped around myself. I pick out some undergarments and clothes to wear then head back into the bathroom and shut the door.

Yes, it's weird. I prefer to get myself dressed in the bathroom.. It's only sometimes I dress in my actual room. I don't know, I'm weird like that.

After getting fully dressed, I head out my room and spot that my bed was messy. What the hell? I always make my bed. Maybe I forgot.. I go over to my bed and quickly make it so it was nice and neat.

I go to turn around but am stopped when I feel an arm around my waist and a hand covering my mouth. From the tingles, I knew who it was.

I elbow him in the gut and in a split second, I have him face down on the ground. "Woah, what the hell Chloe?!"

"Don't what-the-hell me. What the hell you! What are you doing here? In my room?"

"I came to help you pack. Now get off me, will you?"

"Pack? Pack for what?" In my little confused moment and moment of weakness, Caleb manages to somehow flip us over. But I wasn't facedown like he was. He stared down at me.

"Never let your guard down." I frowned and pushed him off, standing up in the process.

"Pack for what?" I repeat.

"We're going over to what's-his-face's pack to help him out. Remember?"

"Oh yeah."

"And, we're sharing a room there so pack light."

"Sharing a room? Are you crazy?!"

"Nah, we're mates. Mates share rooms."

"Well yeah, when they're together. We're not!"

"Suck it up, sweetheart. We're sharing a room." Suck it up? Haha... I have a corrupted mind.

"Fine, whatever."

"Oh, and your dad has invited me for a family meal to apologise.. You know, before we leave."

"Wait, when are we leaving?"

"This evening."

"Oh, right. Okay." Guess I better talk to Seth before I go then.. I go to walk out my room but he grabs my arm.

"Start packing."

"Don't tell me what to do."

"I'm your mate, I can."

"What the hell? It doesn't work that way. Men aren't superior to women."

He groaned. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.. Okay I did but I didn't?"

"Shut up. Get out of my room please, I have stuff to do." I then head out my room so I could quickly go talk to Seth.
