The Alphas Mate

Chapter Twenty

A/N: Before the story starts I wanted to address 3 things...

1. Ashlynn brother Demitri is now Noah. I repeat DEMITRI IS NOW NOAH. I didn't think Demitri was a good fit.

2. The picture above is of Quinn. Bleh.

- XOXO Kiera

Me and Mariah walked around to the garage. I was amazed at the amount of cars lined up in 2 rows. Some were luxury cars while some were regular cars. I wasn't really a car person I just liked whatever looked nice.

" Do you know how to drive? " Mariah asked me as she pulled a set if keys out of her pocket.

" Uh, no. I mean yes I can. Just not legally. " Taylor had been so mad at me when I'd taken the car. Demitri had grounded me for almost a month.

I felt a twinge of sadness, hurt, and guilt. Sadness and hurt because I feel as if I've been betrayed by the only 2 people I had left. And guilt because I've been doing a good job not thinking about Taylor or Demitri.

" Well then I can take you to the DMV sometime this week if you want. I know some of the people that work there. " She winked at me possibly implying that I should cheat.

" Uhm yeah.. I'll think about it. You do know how to drive right? Like no cheating to pass. " I couldn't lie, I was a little scared.

" Ugh you hit one cardboard pedestrian and they say I'm a liability. One tiny scratch on another car and you can't pass. Who comes up with this stuff? " She stated as if it was no big deal. I was seriously thinking about turning around.

" Mariah maybe we should ask Jonathan to drive us. " She rolled her eyes pulling me towards a white honda.

" Come on, I'm not that bad. I've gotten better since last month. I swear. " I had placed my life in the hands of a 17 year old with a new license. Great.

" Okay fine but I swear if I die I will haunt you. " She squealed excitedly before unlocking door.

Of course it wouldn't be a regular Honda. The windows were tinted and the interior was made of white leather with gold linings.

" Seat belt check. Rearview mirror check. Hair check. And makeup double check! " She checked herself in the mirror.

Please don't let me die..

A hour later and a few heart attacks later we arrived at the mall. Young people were strolling around with their friends.

I wasn't a mall person. I was more of an shop online person. Large crowds of people bothered me. Especially the pre teen ones.

" Okay so if we work our way down, we should be done in uhhhh, 6 hours. " Mariah grabbed my arm pulling me to the closest elevator. I liked shopping but there was no way in hell I would be here for 6 hours.

" Is this really going to take 6 hours? " I groaned hitting my head on the wall.

" Yes, don't be so dramatic Ashlynn. It'll be fun. Besides you have my brothers credit card right? " She pressed the button to go up to the 5th floor. I had almost forgotten about the shiny black card in my pocket.

" Oh yeah I kinda forgot about it. " I pulled out the card playing with it in my hand. The image of Quinn coming down those steps burned in my mind and it only pissed me off again.

He didn't have to tell me what he was doing with Quinn. That was his business. But playing with my heart was a completely different thing. I wouldn't just cry about it. No, I would get even.
If he didn't have to tell me what he did with my heart, I sure as hell didn't have to tell him what I did with his money.
