So you're the Alpha...that's nice

Chapter 11

Hey guys,

Thanks to all the comments and votes you guys left me since I love the support as you let me know each of your thoughts on the story.

Sorry this chapter isn’t one of my longest but for the next chapter to work I had to cut it slightly short, but just to warn you Chuck isn’t at his best in this chapter.

Lots of love

Chuck’s Pov

As soon as I said it I regretted it, watching as she scrambled to her feet as she disappeared around the corner before what I had just ordered her to do caught up with me. I felt my wolf snarling inside of me, telling me to run after her, to get on my hands and knees and beg for her forgiveness but I ignored him. I didn’t want a mate, I didn’t need and a mate and I certainly didn’t need Chloe.

But she needs us my wolf snarled at me, making guilt flash through my emotions for a split second before I shoved it deep down. I didn’t want to feel guilt; I had done nothing to feel guilty over. It wasn’t my fault that she scared easily, a quality that didn’t make a good alpha female! She would be better off without me, and so would I!

“Hunter-“ Jenny started in a small tone before I shot her a look clearly telling her not to involve herself in my problems. She was a friend, a pack mate but what I did and what I didn’t do with my mate was my business and my business only. I didn’t want their input, I didn’t need it!

“Leave it Jenny” I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair, grabbing a bottle of beer before heading back up to my study where I had been most of the morning before I had kicked Chloe out of my room. Again I felt a flash of guilt but I quickly pushed it aside as I took a long sip of my beer. Due to our high metabolism it made it practically impossible for us to get drunk, what with the alcohol being burned off as soon as it entered our body’s and such. It was why I didn’t mind drinking it when I was stressed or frustrated; not only didn’t it affect us like it would a human but the taste I found surprisingly soothing.

I didn’t know how long I stayed in my study, taking the time to sort through the pack finances as I tried to keep my mind off Chloe. I hated how she seemed to always be on my mind, how my wolf constantly yearned for her presence when she wasn’t near enough for me to feel her. It was irritating, and while I knew it wasn’t her fault I found myself blaming her for it. If she had never come in the first place then everything would have been fine, I never would have met her and I would never have started feeling so much!

She’s our mate, she doesn’t deserve this!  My wolf snarled at me but I shut myself off from him, something I reluctantly found myself doing more and more often. I couldn’t help it, if it was to do with Chloe than I didn’t want to hear about it.

Sighing I shook my head and flipped through my papers, not realising that I had completely skipped eating anything until there was a knock at the door, my keen sense of smell telling me that it was my beta, Eric.

“What Eric?” I sighed as I leaned back in my chair, pinching the bridge of my noise with my thumb and forefinger as I heard him enter. It wasn’t until I smelled food that I sat up straighter, watching him through slightly narrowed eyes as he entered nervously with a plate of what looked like spaghetti bolognaise. It was clear he was nervous around me; I wasn’t the friendliest person to be around when I was more than a little pissed.

“Nina cooked, she thought you might be hungry” he shrugged as he handed over the plate, his mate was a great cook I thought with a thankful expression as I reached out to grab it.

“Thanks mate” I smiled as I put it on the edge of my desk, watching as he shifted on his feet in front of me, clearly wanting to tell me something but finding it difficult to do so. I decided to put him out of his misery, I didn’t like to see him so uncomfortable after all.

But you don’t care if our mate is! My pissed off wolf snarled but I again ignored him, I had more important things to think about than that at the minute, even if he didn’t agree with me.

“What is it Eric?” I asked with a frown, wondering what he was so nervous about.

“I talked with Jenny-“ he started but I cut him off with a sharp look full of warning, I may be their friend, I may care for them but I was still their alpha. If I didn’t want to talk about it than that was final, I didn’t want to talk about it, I didn’t want to talk about her!

“Don’t Eric, just don’t” I warned, not wanting to go into it right now, or ever as a matter of fact.

“You’re going to have to talk about it sometime mate, you can’t hide forever” Eric stated just before he shut the door, leaving me both annoyed and seething. I knew he was right, I would have to decide what the hell I was going to do with the whole mate situation but I couldn’t help but be angry that I had to. I didn’t want someone that close to me, someone who depended that much on me….I just didn’t.

I didn’t come down for the rest of the night, a few of the pack coming up to check on me and while it was unnecessary I was touched that they cared. Looking outside I noticed that it was pitch black, my brows pulling together when I couldn’t feel my mate in the house or anywhere nearby. Even though I didn’t want the whole mating thing it didn’t mean I didn’t feel it, the aching in my heart or the fact I could sense when she was near due to my wolf purring in delight to being near her presence. I hated to admit it, but I liked the feeling more than I would have liked.

I sat up straighter in my office chair as I stared at the clock on my desk, shocked to find that it was nearly 2 in the morning and she hadn’t gotten back. I was suddenly hit with a wave of fear but it wasn’t hers shockingly, it was both mine and my wolfs panic that she was gone. I shook my head ignoring it, she would be back.

I found myself staying up waiting for her as I sat in my room a few hours later, my wolf to restless to let me sleep as I tried to read one of my favourite novels only to find that I couldn’t concentrate. See this was how it started, I would worry about her more than I wanted to and there was nothing I could do about it. People left, people died and the thought of letting myself fall for her and then…no I wasn’t even going to think about it. I would just ignore the mating pull and try and push her away, even if I hated to see the pain in her eyes when I did so. I may not want a mate, but I wasn’t a monster who didn’t have feelings.

Snarling out in frustration I ripped the sheets off me before jumping to my feet, not bothering to get anymore clothes on other than the boxers I was already wearing. It wasn’t like I was trying to impress her; I didn’t care what she thought of me!

Making my way downstairs I jogged towards the woods, stripping off my boxers before tying them around my ankle in case I needed to get dressed again. Unfortunately our clothes didn’t phase with us like we all would have liked, but beggars can’t be choosers I guess. My mates scent from this morning was thankfully still there, even if it was slightly hard to find due to it not being a fresh trail. I knew if I hadn’t of been an alpha, having keener senses and such then I wouldn’t have been able to scent it at all.

Find her! Apologise! My wolf continued to growl at me, his presence stronger now I was in my wolf form as my black paws hit the ground with a large thud. Being an alpha meant that my wolf was the biggest, the largest so I had a lot of muscle on my wolf as I took off into the woods, pushing his thoughts aside and concentrating on my anger. Why did she have to act so childish? If anything I despised the idea of her being my mate more and more since I was now having to run after her through the woods in the middle of the night when I should have been sleeping soundly in my bed where I wanted to be, but in the back of my mind I knew that my wolf wasn’t the only one who wanted a repeat of the night she had slept next to me….

Sorry it was short but I hope you liked it! Let me know what you thought!
