Mated to the lone alpha

A Rude Waking

Ashers P.O.V

I was sleeping happily, dreaming of the day I might finally meet my mate when I heard the booming voice coming from outside the pack house but not recognising it. I slowly stand up and groggily look out the window. There I saw the man easily recognised as Sapphire's father, the only issue is he did not look too happy.

"SAPPHIRE! GET OUT HERE NOW! DON'T MAKE ME HURT PEOPLE" he yelled out and the expression on his face was serious. He came ready to fight which meant I have to defuse the situation quickly.

I quickly pulled on a tank top and shorts then sprinted down the stairs and out the door to stop the overly aggressive male before he could do something he'd regret, like try and fight Bennet which would be a huge mistake. I got outside in time to see Taylor trying to talk the man down but that didn't go too well for Taylor, the end result was him being thrown across the training yard.

"Sir I'm gonna ask you to calm down before you get yourself hurt. We don't want to hurt you and the way you're behaving right now is going to hurt your daughter as well" I stated as I slowly approached him with my hands raised slightly in the air to show I meant no harm but he didn't take kindly to me. He meant to harm and before I knew it he'd hit me and sent me flying back, luckily I landed it. I let out a low growl as my eyes flashed orange and I was about to run at him before I felt a hand on my shoulder stopping me.

Sapphires P.O.V

I was dreaming about Bennet, which I would not admit to if anyone asked me, but I was rudely woken by a voice I knew very well yelling at the top of his lungs. I groaned and opened my eyes to see I was still nuzzled into my mates bare chest which made me smile brightly before I heard my father yelling again which dimmed my smile. I got up and looked out the window to see my dad throwing the playful guy Taylor around like a rag doll. I looked over at Bennet and sighed, knowing I should have texted my father last night telling him I'd be sleeping here with my mate.

I run to the cupboard and change into one of Bens shirts and joggers before I follow him down the stairs and out the door just in time to see Ash about to run at him, luckily Ben stopped his best friend just in time. I walk towards my father and glare at him with a fiery hatred at what he'd just done. "You are unbelievable. I spent the night with my mate. you knew I'd be here and you knew I'd come home later for fresh clothes but you still come here and make a cock of yourself" I yelled at him.

"Sapphire get home to your mother and pack. we're leaving and you're going to an all-girls boarding school" The moment he said the words I hated him, purely and simply but I knew why he was saying it. He was trying to provoke Bennet and it worked quite well. "Father you can go fuck yourself if you think I'm leaving my mate and my pack" I retort quickly.

"I'm sorry sir but you have no right to take your daughter with you. It's a shame you want to leave but if she chooses the pack and me then there is nothing you can do but turn tail and run before I make you" I heard Ben state as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Then I challenge you Alpha Bennet Rage to a trial by combat. Winner gets Sapphire" My father growls and I stand there even more shocked than ever, hearing my father use me as a bargaining chip in a trial by combat.

"Sir just think about what you're saying. You're demanding a fight that you can't possibly win and you're hurting your daughters' feelings by offering her out as a prize. Go home and calm down before you do something you regret" He stated softly as he started to walk me back inside since I was yawning and rubbing my eyes, still being tired I leaned into his bare chest.

"Now I see why your parents died when they have a coward like you as a son" My father spat like poison and I got chills at how silent everything was after he said it. I knew he'd done something he shouldn't have and all hell had broken loose. I felt Bennets body leave mine then I heard the loud growls as he shifted and glared at my father.

Then the fight began.
