Alpha Zeke

Chapter Four

I wake up, my body pressed against Zeke's. He has an arm around me, holding me in a tight grip. I relax at the sparks that come when he touches me, only to realize a minute later he was holding me. That asshole, I told him not to touch me. I try to squeeze out of his grip, but he only tightened.

"Zeke!" I whisper-yell.

"Mhm?" He mumbled sleepily.

"Let. Go." I order him through clenched teeth

He immediately takes his arm away and sits up, looking at me with some sort of emotion in his icy eyes. Either sadness or fear... Maybe both? "I-I'm sorry, Ali. I didn't realize-"

"Shut up" I interrupt him. He just nods before standing up and stretching. "Do you want to shower or anything?" I ask him after a minute.

He nods. "Yeah, I could use one," he responds. I noticed his hair had gotten greasier and stubble had grown on his chin since he got here. I get up from my place on the bed and walk over to my closet and grab out a towel for him.

"Here, there's shampoo in the bathroom. do you want a razor?" I ask, throwing the towel at him then pointing to the bathroom on the right side of my room. He nods and I pass him a fresh razor before he goes in.

***

Fifteen minutes later he comes out in just a towel. "Umm, Ali, my clothing is still at the hotel I was staying in," he says, not daring to look me in the eye.

"I-I'll get you some of my dad's clothes to wear for now if you want" I stutter from the sight of his perfect body. He looks up at me through his blonde hair darkened from the water. I quickly try to fix my face, I probably looked like a fangirl drooling over her favorite band member. The more I think about it, the redder my cheeks get.

"I think that's a good idea, Ali," he says before taking a step closer to me; so close that I could feel his breath as he whispered. "You know, if you want this body can and will be all yours."

At that second, David walks in. "Ali your dad-" he stops as he see's what's happening.

"Ha! Yeah right! Get away from me you egotistical mutt," I say, deciding to make a scene out of it.

"Umm, am I interrupting something?" David asks hesitantly as I push Zeke away.

"No,-" I start.

"Yes," Zeke argues.

"No, David, you weren't. I was actually just going to my dad's room to get him some clothes, let's go," I say. I walk toward the door, grabbing David's hand, ignoring the growl Zeke lets out behind me.

***

I get back with the clothing alone, David thought it'd be best if he didn't see Zeke again. He grabs the clothing from me in silence and gets dressed.

"Egotistical mutt. I will give you credit, I've never heard that one before," he says as he walks out.

"Oh, what ones have you heard?" I ask curiously.

"The usual human ones, sometimes I'll get a creative girl like you. I've heard Douche Dog," he says with a smirk, but I frown. 'Sometimes I'll get a creative girl'. 

"How many girls have you dated?" I ask quietly. I watch as the smirk and color fade from his face.

He stays silent for a moment before explaining. "Ali, I'm 27. I got my first girlfriend when I was 12, I've been dating for fifteen years. I've had probably twenty girlfriends, two I've loved. One I was with for three years, the other four. I broke up with my last eight months ago and I decided it was time to find my actual mate. I swear all those other girls are in the past, Ali. It's only you now, I promise"

I just look at him as he finishes. He has all right to date, since I wasn't there, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. I walk out of my room silently, closing the door behind me. I walk all the way to my favorite tree, I climb up and start crying. why did it hurt so much?

~Zeke's POV~

I watch Alisha walk out. I hurt her, I know I did. I wasn't going to wait forever, I wish she understood that. A man has needs, and what I need now is her.

Look what you did! I told you you shouldn't have slept with those other women. Now our mate hates us. My wolf snaps at me.

Thanks for the support. I swear I'll fix this, if it kills me. She's ours, I'll do whatever it takes to get her. I try to make him feel better.

Ha. You did well last time. Remember how she almost rejected you? He taunts.

Ugh. Please don't remind me, I doubt she'd try it again. I tell him.

Well, I wouldn't test her. he finishes.

I sigh and walk out of the room. The best person to get advice from would probably be her dad. I walk down to the alpha wing of the building and knock on the door, a second later a short, grey-haired lady opens the door. "Hello, sir, may I help you?"

"Yes, I would like to speak with the alpha."

"Of course, I'll get him," she runs off and a second later Connor comes in the door.

"Hey Zeke, come in," he says, moving out of the doorway to let me in. "Want anything to drink? Coffee?" He asks.

"No thanks," I respond and he leads me down a hallway to his office.

"So, how's it going with Ali?" He asks and I sigh.

"Actually, that's why I'm here. I fucked up..." I explain how I had girlfriends before and how Ali was upset about it. "All the girls in my pack couldn't care less, if they got a month with me they were on cloud nine. But Ali, she's different. She cares. Now I feel like shit for what I did and I don't know how to fix it."

"Zeke, she's not 'most girls'. I bet half of it is she's still upset about finding her mate. I think the best thing you could do is just talk it out with her."

"Thanks," I mutter before turning and heading out, he's probably right. I just need to talk it out.
