Between two Alphas (Part 2) Between Love and Hate
Maison's
“Oh my god Maison!"
We were away from everyone, alone when I gave her, her present.
“It was my mothers. I know you guys never met, but I know if she was here she would have loved for you to have it."
She looked up at me and smiled with tears threatening to fall.
“Thank you."
“You deserve it."
I pulled her onto my lap and hugged her.
“I will always be grateful for what you have done for me."
She started scratching my head, making me lean even more into her.
“You're going to be a great mate to someone some day."
She pulled away then, looking down at me with tears in her eyes.
“I wanna be yours, just yours Maison because I love you."
I watched her eyes before I wrapped a hand around her neck.
“I love you too, but I can't have you."
“Yes you can. I'll go with you, we can be together."
“No, we can't. You don't belong to me and you know that."
“I can if you would just let me."
I sighed, pulling my hand away and took her hand in mine.
"You know how I feel about taking you away. We only agreed to sneak around until you found your mate or turned eighteen whichever came first."
“Have you found yours?"
I looked up at her and shook my head.
“No."
“Then we can still sneak around right?"
“Josie, we spoke about this. Once you turned eighteen that was it."
“But I don't want to stop. I like spending time with you."
“So do I, but I can't keep you, you don't belong to me."
“Then I don't want to belong to anyone else."
She then got up and started running.
“Josie, stop!"
I caught up to her and grabbed her waist, pulling her back against my chest.
"Josie, please. This isn't about me not wanting you because I do, but I can't take you away from someone you haven't met yet. If and when you do and you still feel the same way then I'll take you home with me."
She quickly turned and looked up at me.
“What about you?"
“What about me?"
"What if you find your mate?"
I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to answer that. There was no way to explain to her about how I felt so I pulled away and ran my hand into my hair.
“I don't know. I always saw myself not having one. You and I were only supposed to last until you found your mate and then I figured I would just go back and do what I needed to do."
“But you can't be alone forever."
“Better than to suffer like my mom did."
“But you're not your mom. Things happened!"
