Broken (Book 3/3)

Nick POV

It's been a week and I'm slowly going insane. My wolf is ok the verge of taking over and confronting her. She hasn't talked to me since that morning a week ago.

I hate it and I can't keep it going any longer. I growl and slam my head against my desk.

I can't do it. I want- no need to hold her now. I'm dying inside and the pack is getting effected by it.

I growl and stand up quickly. The chair flies back. I walk down the hall and into the library after calming down dramatically.

I see her say in the window seat reading again. I walk closer and when she looks at me I drop to my knees.

"Please." I croak out. I bury my head in my hands. This is so against my nature but I have to do it.

"Please, what?" She asks quietly.

"This is killing me. Please just let me hold you. For 10 minuets please." I say not looking up at her. I hear her close the book before her light footsteps are walking closer to me. She sits down beside me and moves closer.

I grab her waist and pull her into my lap. I bury my head into her neck and breath deeply. She sits ridged for a while for relaxing and hugging me back.

"I'm so so so so so sorry. Please don't push me away more." I mumble into her neck. I hear her sigh before nodding slightly.

"But if you screw up again then I'm leaving." She says firmly. I nod in understanding and hold her tighter but not too tight.

After an hour of just sitting there my knees start to cramp. I stand up still holding Flare. I go into the bedroom and lie on the bed. I instantly fall asleep after not sleeping for a week.

***

I wake up and see its dark outside. Well shit. That's fucked up my sleeping pattern. I see Flare down on the floor by the fire like she always is, drawing.

I sit up and stretch before flopping down on the bed. A knock sounds on the door.

"Come in." I say and Flare jumps. Not realising I am awake. The door opens and Tyson walks in.

"Sleeping beauty is finally awake!" He exclaims and claps his hands.

"How long was I asleep?" I ask.

"2 and a half days. You were exhausted." Tyson says.  My eyes widen. I've never slept that long.

"Bare in mind. You didn't sleep for a week." He says. I nod and get out of bed.

I see I'm still in my shirt and jeans from the other day. I quickly go to the wardrobe and pull them off and put on a clean shirt and kaki shorts.

"I'm getting food and then I have Alpha stuff to catch up on." I say to Tyson. He nods and flicks on the TV.

While Flare wasn't talking to me she didn't talk to Tyson either but he was in the room most of the time to make sure she was ok.

Normally my wolf would go insane knowing another male is in the same room as my mate but one, he's my second in command and two, he's already got a mate.

I walk out and to my office, leaving Flare and Tyson to watch TV. I reply to a shit load of emails and then I get a phone call.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey Nick. It's Danny." My uncle says.

"Oh hi Danny. What can I do for you?" I ask.

"Well this year you are invited to the annual ball and it is being hosted by my pack. You may bring your beta and his mate." Danny says. He doesn't know of Flare.
