The Alpha's Rogue Mate

Chapter 18

I open my eyes to see Alex sleeping in a chair next to the bed, my back aches and a moan escapes my mouth when I try propping myself up on my elbows. The chair creaks and I look to see Alex awake. He rushes over to the bed and gently turns me over, his hands are on either side of my face. I try to reach up and touch his face but the pain in my back doesn't allow me to straighten my arm completely.

"Are you okay," Alex asks.

"I broke my spine and now it's killing me," I tell him through my teeth.

"That is why the doctor gave me these." Alex holds up and a bottle that has pills inside of it. "He said to give you two every morning and two an hour before bed."

"For how long?"

"He said a couple days but if you're hurting a lot." Alex gently kisses my forehead. "A week."

"So you're gonna be taking care of me for a week?"

"Or a couple days. Depends on how much pain your in."

I slowly reach up and wrap my arms around his neck, he must know what I want because he picks me up gently and makes his way down the stairs with cautious steps. I lay my head on his shoulder and wait to feel the couch under me. But it doesn't come so I look up to see Alex looking at the door with anger burning in his eyes. I look and see Brandon and Kyle standing in the doorway.

"Long time no see brother," Brandon says. He looks at me and smirks. "Hello Vexy."

"What do you want Brandon," Alex growls.

"Can't I come by and see my brother once in awhile? Or check up to see how my future sister is doing?"

"No you cannot. Now leave Brandon. I am busy." Alex turns around and starts walking into the kitchen.

"Busy doing what? Taking care of your slut of a mate?" Alex stops and turns around, growling at Brandon. Brandon just smirks.

"Alex calm down. Just ignore him," I whisper.

Alex sets me down in the recliner and strokes my bottom lip with his thumb. He gives me a kiss before turning around to face Brandon and Kyle.

"Alex don't."

"How dare you insult your future Luna, Brandon. Of all the people, I never thought my own brother would be the one to insult their superior," Alex says

"I'm sorry Alex but it's true. She had a thing with me and then Kyle. Even all of the Enforcers witnessed it," Brandon tells him.

"It's true Alpha. And she wanted to mate with me sir," Kyle says.

"You liar," I yell. The three of them look at me. "You are the one who wanted to mate with me Kyle. And I said no. And the same goes for Brandon. I never wanted to do anything with either of you. You shoved your tongue down my throat, Brandon. And I might have thought Kyle was attractive but I never wanted to do anything with him." I feel the tears starting to form in my eyes. "So stop trying to turn Alex on me. Stop trying to make him hate me so much that he'll reject me!"

They all just look at me in shock, Alex turns to both of them and makes them leave. When he comes over to me I have tears rolling down my cheeks; I never thought I would cry.

"Hey shh," Alex says in a soothing voice. "Don't cry Vex. I don't care what they say, you're my mate and your past isn't going to change that."

"I never cry," I tell him while wiping my tears away.

"There's nothing shameful in crying. You still look beautiful no matter what."

"That's not what I mean. I didn't cry when John burnt that word into my back and I didn't cry when my mother died. But I'm crying now." I look at him and stroke his face. "Over the thought of losing my mate."

Alex picks me up and sets me down on the couch gently, then disappears into the kitchen. He comes back with a glass of water and the two pills I'm suppose to take. I slowly take them from him and swallow the pills, the pain slowly starts easing away.

Alex sets the cup on the coffee table and starts walking away but I grab his hand and pull him down onto the couch. I look at him worriedly but he just stares at the off t.v.

"What's wrong," I ask frantically.

"Nothing," Alex tells me.

"If it was nothing then why are you acting," I grab his face and make him look at me. "Not like you."

"I don't know what you mean?"

"You've been acting odd since I told you why I was crying. Now please tell me what's wrong."

"I'm just still mad about what Brandon said. Our parents raised us to respect our Alphas. They would've been angry with Brandon if they were still alive."

"Stop fussing over that, it doesn't matter about what he said. Don't let that ruin our happiness that was here."

"But it keeps running through my head. It just won't get out."

I press my lips to Alex's, he forces mine open and nibbles on my bottom lip. My hand slides under his shirt and slowly runs up and down his muscled stomach; I slide his shirt over his head. My eyes widen at how muscled his entire upper body is. My hands can't help but run themselves all over his body.

"You are such a distraction," Alex says.

"I know. But at least it's helping," I tell him.

I feel Alex's lips on my neck and he grabs my arms, I feel him lightly sucking on the skin just below my ear; he growls from pleasure.

"Please let me mark you Vexy," Alex asks.

"No Alex," I say.

Alex growls and squeezes my arms tighter, I can feel his teeth lightly biting on my neck.

"Alex, stop."

Alex pulls away from me angrily and sits up, I look at his angry face and watch his jaw clench and unclench. His fists are gripping the couch really tight. I reach forward and slowly put my hand on his shoulder, he is shaking a little.

"I don't mean to be so cruel to you Alex. But I don't want that yet. You have to understand."

"You unmarked is causing males to look at you like they want you." Alex looks at me and I can see that his wolf wants to break through, and is just on the brink of showing if I don't say the right things. "And it is angering me too much that I can barely keep in control."

"You promised me time. And I don't leave the house for people to look at me. So how would they look like they want me?"

"I don't know if I can handle that."

I scoot closer to Alex and lay my head on his shoulder, I place my hand on his other shoulder; Alex holds my hand that is on his shoulder. I look up at him and smile, I am pulled over his lap but my legs are still over his lap. Alex tugs at my shirt and I grab his hand to stop him; I run my hand over his stomach again.

"Do you know how much of a tease that is," Alex whispers in my ear. I lightly run my fingers over his stomach again, but this time right above the top of his pants. "Now you're asking for it."

Alex pins me under him and pins my arms above my head, he lightly kisses my jaw.

"You know this isn't fair because I can't do much with my back," I whisper.

"I know. And that's why it's fun."

"Maybe for you, but not for me."

"I'll make it fun for you."
