My Alpha Mate

Chapter 5: I Just Slapped My Mate

Chapter 5: I Just Slapped My Mate

I wake up to an empty mansion. What the hell? They tell me I can't be left alone yet they disappear while I was asleep? My thoughts of curiosity are put to a halt when I feel my stomach rumble. After what seemed like forever of wandering, I manage to find my way to the kitchen only to open the fridge finding it short on food. On the top shelf there was a jar of peanut butter, the bottom shelf consisting of a half empty can of Pepsi.

What kind of rich people have no food?! I'm going to starve! I groan at the thought. Looks like I'm going to have to prevent my own starvation by going grocery shopping. Question is.. How do I get to the store? I don't have a car.. Nor do I know where the store is. What I do have, however, is legs and a phone with GPS navigation. Besides I need to go for a run, anyways. I just can't shift is all.

I run back to my room that I'm staying in and put on a sports bra and joggers before lacing up my pink, Nike sneakers. I grab my headphones and head for the woods at the edge of the property. I've always loved the woods. It's so free and calming. I pull out my phone and get directions to the nearest grocery store. It's about a half hour away on foot so for me it will only take about twenty minutes to get there. I've been told that I have the stamina of a wolf. Of course this was by humans so it caused suspicion that had to be stopped so in public I stop every few blocks acting like I'm winded when really I could run for miles without any problems.

About halfway there, I get the feeling that someone is following me. My instincts are never wrong but when I stop and smell the air to see if it's a human or wolf, I smell this musky smell and I can't tell if it's from the woods or if it's a wolf hiding its scent. I pull my headphones by the cord so they fall to the ground seeming like they fell out on accident. I squat down to pick them up and listen for any sound that could help figure out what's following me.

When I stand up, I come face to face with a man slightly taller than I am with slight scruff on his chin. His hair is pushed up messy like giving the impression of no care of anything. I'd estimate he's in his mid twenties but I'm instantly taken aback by his eyes.

His eyes are were glowing alpha red when I first looked at them but he has switched them to a gray like blue. He's a wolf. Not just any wolf, an alpha that killed for his position. Born alphas like Jake have sapphire blue eyes. If blood is spilled for the alpha position, the eyes turn the color of blood.

"You must be new here, gorgeous. The names Scott Porter, what's yours, darling." I scrunch my nose at the nicknames as he flashes a smirk. I can see the lust in his eyes and I know I need to avoid eye contact.

"Nope. I have to get going now, goodbye." I turn to walk away but my arm is caught in his grip as he sniffs the air. Shit. I try to hide my scent but it's too late, he's already picked up my wolf smell. He let's out a low growl still gripping my arm.

"Ah, darling. What's an unmated wolf as pretty as you doing out in the woods alone? Tsk tsk. How about this? You come with me back to my pack and be my Luna. Sounds like a good offer, yea? You go from being a stray to a Luna and I get to have you as my wife. Now either you can accept the offer or I can force you to come with me." Suddenly a low growl comes from the trees and as much as I hate him, I let out a sigh of relief as Jake emerges from the forest.

"She isn't going anywhere with you, Porter. She's with me. now get your filthy, mutt paws off of my girl." If looks could kill they would both be dead. Jake would be double dead though because I'm glaring at him over the fact that he called me his. Like bitch no. I am not an object to claim. I don't say anything, however because if I did, this Scott dude would retaliate and try to kidnap me or something. I snap out of my rambling thoughts when Jake puts a hand on the small of my back pulling me towards him until his lips meet mine. I pull back in a slight daze. He's a good kisser. Not that I would really know considering I've never been kissed before. Wait. This idiot just stole my first kiss. This Scott Porter guy let's out a low, terrifying growl.

"You will be mine one way or another in time." He then leaves into the trees. I turn to Jake ready to flip out on him only for him to kiss me again. I try to pull away but he's stronger than I am and frankly I'm enjoying this. He's like putty in my hands right now and I feel like I'm the one in power. He pulls me closer to him and when I feel a certain object poking me in the stomach, I pull away but not before quickly glancing at his member poking from the inside of his joggers. I feel a blush creep onto my face. Those girls were right he is packing. That's when it hits me.

The girls were right. That means he actually did hook up with them. Which means that I'm probably no different to him than those cheep sluts. My heart tightens in my chest. I suck in a deep breath and exhale. I am not jealous of them. I can't be. I don't even want to be his mate so why do I even care? I just don't want to be treated like them. That's it. It has to be. I mean I don't like Jake or anything. I hate him but I have to give him the benefit of doubt because he's my true mate..and my alpha. Yet he acts like I'm one of his little toys.

That's when I snap. I walk up to my now confused looking mate and the palm of my hand connects with his cheek. I just slapped my mate. No, I just slapped my ALPHA mate. I feel like a bad ass now. He looks at me like it hadn't even fased him. There goes my feeling of being a badass.

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I haven't had time to even read much this month. I got my uncle a puppy only to find out that she has a parasite and has almost died a few times if we hadn't taken her to the emergency vet she probably would have. On top of that, my landlord is selling my house so I'm in the process of moving and until Friday of this last we (as in 2 days ago) I had no idea where I was moving to and have to be moved out by the end of the year.

Luckily things are getting better. The puppy is on medication and this is the 4th day that she's been on it and her health has improved so much it makes me want to cry of joy because I really didn't want her to die she's such a little sweetheart. Also, my parents found a new house to move into and it's in the town I grew up in a few blocks from two of my best friends' houses.

Once everything is less stressful and I have some spare time, I'll be writing much more often. Again, sorry for waiting so long to update and thank you to my readers for being so patient.
