Sometimes Running is the Best Option

16- Monster

Chapter 16- Monster

Scott's POV-

I watched as Zak played with his fingers, too fidgety to sit for long. Edward was watching me closely, obviously trying to read me or to figure out why I called them here. Luke was too busy checking the mirror to even care. And Josh just looked mad, no doubt Emily was calling for him and he was just itching to run from here and into her arms. That just ignited my anger even more, why couldn't Amber be like that? Why couldn't she love me the way that I wanted so desperately.

"So, I called you here to explain something. Josh already knows this but-"

"Amber really is his mate and she lied about having a mate at home for unknown reasons... Now that your all caught up, I need to go" Josh said quicker than I have ever heard before. Emily must really be bribing him. Josh got up to leave and was almost to the door before I stopped him.

"Stop!" I yelled using my alpha command, "sit down!" This was igniting my anger even more than before and now I was just plain pissed. They could sense my anger and instinctively scooted back in their chairs.

"So Amber is your mate?" I heard Luke ask from the corner, obviously disappointed. This made the anger grow, she was mine.

"Yes! How many times do I have to say it!"

"And I just- it's getting aggravating!" I yelled. I could smell something that should have put a red flag up but my anger was too strong, clouding all judgment.

"What is?" Edward asked, almost afraid of the response. But the fear was not for him, fear for someone else.

"Her! She- I- she- I just wish she never even showed up in this damn town! I wish she had stayed a rogue and died a rogue!" I didn't mean them. I don't know why the heck I would say those words because I know I didn't mean them. She was mine and I had spent too much time day dreaming of her arrival. I did want her, hell, I wanted her right now.

I heard gasps from the three boys and one disapproving glare from Josh. I was sure he was imagining Emily and he would hate ever having to reject her. I would too, which is why I was confused to why I said it. But one gasp stood out, it was my mate's. I whipped around and saw Amber there, she had obviously been listening. I ran to her instantly, moving faster than humanly possible. I wanted to hold her and tell her words that were the exact opposite. I saw hurt flash through her and I wanted her to yell at me, to call me endless names, anything but the hurt that was evident in her tear filled eyes. She looked vulnerable, completely opposite from her normal state. I watched as the pain slowly turned into vulnerable hatred. She pulled herself from my grasp and I felt the coldness again.

"Don't. Fucking. Touch. Me" she said, literally shaking with anger. I felt my heart begin to slowly sink as I thought of how stupid I was. I watched as she ran, ran away from me as if I was a monster. And in a way I was. I had done this to her, I could tell she was finally showing emotions and I ruined it. I sprung into action, ready to run after her before Josh pulled me back.

"Don't Scott, she needs some time to think. Then you can run after her" I slowly nodded with tears filling my eyes. I didn't care if I looked like such a wuss, my soul mate was running from me, the monster.

A/N

I'm sorry guys for not updating in a month... I'm sure most of you are tired of authors explaining that they haven't updated in a while because of school and that has been my problem too. I'm sorry and I won't go into detail but I have been really busy.

I'm not exactly in love with this story, I have editing mistakes and my planning was horrid. I have also gotten better in grammar so if you do not wish to continue this story that is okay... :( But keep this story because I am starting a new book that I will have an editor for and my planning will be better.

Thanks Strawboes!!
