The Alpha's Rogue Mate

Chapter 21

After a long time of making out, Alex and I pull away from each other breathless. Alex looks at me and smiles, I just stroke his cheek with my thumb.

"So what's John up to today? I mean what's he doing while you're not Alpha," I ask.

"Taking care of some little stuff," Alex tells me.

"Like what?"

"Well there's kind of something going on between Full Moon and Dark Skies Pack."

"What do you mean? Is it something bad?"

"Yeah." Alex doesn't look at me. "They've declared war on us because they suspect that I sent some of my fighters to take out a group of their women and children because we're a blood thirsty pack."

"Well if they want to be idiots and take on the biggest Pack in the U.S then let them do it. Their Alpha will be running back to his territory with his tail between his legs."

"We aren't the biggest Pack, Vex."

"Then who is?"

"The Denali Pack which I think you were apart of or some of your family was." I sit up and look at Alex with surprise on my face. "And I've asked them to come and help us fight."

"You asked another Pack to help you take on one Pack? That's kind of unfair Alex."

"No it's not. Knight Pack is helping Dark Skies because they have been allies since their two packs were formed. So it's only fair that I call my closet ally."

"Wait? Full Moon and Denali are allies?"

"Yeah, why does that surprise you?"

I sit up straight and look down at him, he sits up and looks at me. I try to control the emotions running through me, I swallow the lump in my throat.

"Okay, I haven't been completely honest with you Alex." I feel Alex looking at me worriedly. "I wasn't always a Rogue, I was part of a Pack. The Denali pack actually, and that's why my last name is Denali, my father was or still is the Alpha of the Denali Pack. I ran away from my Pack when I was thirteen."

"Why'd you run away?"

"Because I didn't want to be Alpha, and I still don't want to be Alpha. I am not a good leader and I just want what I want, which is why you shouldn't want me."

"But Vexy-"

"I know you're gonna say that 'we're Mates and that we don't judge each other for our pasts' but I let my father down. I let my Pack down, and I let my bloodline down. And that's something I never thought I would do."

"Vexy, there's nothing wrong with that." Alex tries grabbing for my hand but I jump out of his grasping range and stand up, I look at him outraged.

"There is EVERYTHING wrong with that Alex! Sorry if I actually have my parents and I wish I hadn't betrayed them!" I regret what I said the moment it comes out of my mouth. "Alex, I didn't mean that. I'm so sorry."

Alex gets up and walks around the room, I start to walk towards him until he throws the lamp across the room. I jump as the glass breaks all over the floor, Alex throws the side table across the room and it shatters against the wall. Alex starts punching the wall, the brick wall. I rush over to him and grab his arm but instead of it actually stopping, his hand flies back and hits me on the side of my face.

Alex looks at me and he realizes what he did when I sit up and feel my jaw, nothing seems broken but I know I'll have a bruise. Alex just looks at me and I look up at him, neither of us knowing what to say. I can't be mad at him because I made him mad, and he can't be mad at me because he had hit me when he was mad.

"I'm gonna go," Alex says. He just leaves and I continue to sit on the floor.
