Forgiving Mr. Alpha

My Fault...

Sorry I haven't updated. It has been a crazy month for me. You have no idea... Plus, I have time locks on my computer, so my writing time is limited. So, sorry for this over due update. And I will not stop this book unless I say I don't want to write it or I delete it. So thank you for sticking with me, those who have! And thank you for the comments! It is encouraging to know people like my book and want me to continue. Sorry that it is a short chapter, but time is limited. But I do hope you enjoy it! And sorry for any misspellings or anything. So thank you all so much for everything and continue voting and commenting! :D

Ryan turned around with a thick smirk on his face, only for it to disappear while being pinned up against the cupboards by River. River's face was stiff and his hands held bawls of Ryan's plaid shirt in a death hold. A raging storm could not define how River must have been inside. More like a volcano and a hurricane colliding creating a new storm of spinning lava and thunder crushing everything in its path and boiling anything in existence. Rage wasn't in his eyes, death was. He gripped Ryan's shirt tighter and pulled him up higher. Long, anger filled breaths escaped River as he made no attempt to calm down.

"Mine." He growled out. His voice deep and evil which sent a warning by itself. Just that one word had my heart racing and my wolf running inside me like a dog who sees its walking leash. That one word sent shivers down my spine that spread to my veins and carried it through my body. 

His stiff, raging face didn't scare me like before. It brought me a sense of relief and security. Like he actually wanted me. Like he really wanted to protect me.

"You rejected her." Ryan said stubbornly. That's when reality settled back in. He did reject me. He said he didn't want me. My body shut down quickly. River no longer seemed handome or like a saviour. I saw the dark, scary man anyone would see at the moment. The fists I thought were there to protect me felt like they were punching me. The deep scowl on his face was pointed at me, not Ryan.

"I took it back." He growled again even lower than before. The vibration of his voice traveled through me, only to leave an echo in the emptiness. 

"He wants us Aria! He really wants us. Our mate loves us!"

"No he doesn't. And even if he did, we wouldn't take him back."

"Why? He is our mate! Our other have! You can not deny him. You love him as much as I do."

"No, I don't. He is not our mate. He is rejected by us as we are to him and his mate. He will never be our mate, ever!" 

My wolf didn't respond. I called for her, but she didn't come. I had hurt her, but it was for the best.

"We were just having a little fun. Right, Aria?" Both of their heads turned towards me. My eyes connected for a split moment with River's and I felt hope. But all hope was lost when my eyes connected with Ryan's eyes. They held warning signs in them that apposed a threat. A threat to me that I would not be able to escape if I answered with a no.

My secret could not be told. It was too deep, to personal for anyone's ears to hear. But Ryan knew it. I was so foolish to tell him. He knew I was weak and vulnerable after the incident. It really was my fault. i had put myself in that position and didn't try to resist. I was scared to. It was my fault. I was so stupid to fall into the trap! But I was so young, how was I to know? Common sense. It really was my fault. It was all because of me.
