The Hathaway Alpha

Chapter 6

Dinner went by fast and soon I was helping Andrew get ready for bed. Alex left to go home, and Alpha Hathaway went back to his room, once Drew was fast asleep I checked on the girls and found them all asleep as well. Times like this is when I miss Claire the most, after we have guests me and her would sneak out to the roof and attempt to draw them.

I went into my room and grabbed my drawing notebook, then I started to climb out my window. "what are you doing?!" Alpha Hathaway stood by my door, his face was livid, his eyes were pitch black and his fangs were growing out. I was already half way out of the window and I nearly fell, I small scream escaped and I held on tighter, without warning he was there holding onto me preventing me from falling.

He roughly pulled me in and with the sudden pull I dropped my notebook and pencil. "No! I dropped them." I complained and looked out the window to see where they fell to. Luckily, they fell perfectly on the table we ate at. I turned sharply towards him.

"What are you doing? You made me drop my book." I glared at him, it was possibly a bad idea but that notebook was the only childhood part of me that's left, the only thing I haven't out grown, the only thing I couldn't bring myself to pack away after Claire.

"What was I doing?!" he glared back, more harshly mind you, "you were the one who was going to jump out off a window!"

I stared at him and I couldn't help laughing, his eyes stayed black and he stayed glaring, my laugh died down and I looked up at him, I started to explain softly, "I wasn't going to jump, I was going to climb up to the roof so I can draw, besides I jump out of this window on a daily basis, I won't get hurt." Even if I did get hurt I can easily heal myself, I added silently to myself.

Before he can reply Liam started to cry in his room, I excused myself and left to check on him, I got to his room and picked him up, he stayed crying, I again tapped the side of his mouth only for him to open it, so he was hungry.

I put him down and made him a bottle with the stuff in his room, I then wrapped him in a blanket and went outside to the garden, I sat at the table and started to feed him. My mind wondered to Alpha Hathaway, he was very confusing.

I didn't imagen meeting my mate would be like this, but I also never in my wildest imagination that my mate would be him, I didn't think fate can be this cruel. The more I thought about it, it made sense in a twisted way. I hurt people, I never killed but I was worse, I made them live in suffering. He was my punishment, but I also lost half of me, wasn't that enough?

Claire, I thought losing her would be my punishment but I guess I was even worse than I thought, maybe if I had killed those people instead of letting them bleed out or make every part of their body full of cancer or anything I would have done, then loosing Claire was going to be enough.

On the other hand, he can be what mum said. He understands how war effects people, how horrid it was to keep fighting day and night and not knowing why, I wasn't even sure if he knows why there was a war in the first place.

I sighed and tilted my head back. When I straightened up again, Alpha Hathaway was standing right in front of me, I held my scream to avoid scaring Liam. I didn't notice him.

"Did you draw these?" he asked, he held my notebook and was flicking through it. I jumped up and tried to take it from him but with Liam in my arms that provide a difficult task.

"You can't look that! I didn't say you can!" I exclaimed, I never showed anyone any of these, obviously not including Claire. He looked at me for a half-a-second and continued to flip through it. Once he got to the last page he closed the book and put it on the table then sat down himself.
