The Rogue Protector

Chapter 9

Amber's POV

Ava left to go and find the others. I just sat there staring out the window.

As much as sweet Ava tried to understand, she just couldn't understand how much I hate the idea of staying here. Really, it's not all about Ryder, my family, and this pack. I just love traveling the world, meeting new people, not having any responsibilities. I liked the idea of meeting someone eventually who would love me for me and not because of a forced mate bond.

Many werewolves argued that the mate bond was more romantic and truer than love between chosens and that might be true, but a love that you choose is one that you know is passionate and that you know is real. I just want that.

The door opened and I looked up. Ryder.

He rushed to the side of the bed and tried to pick up my hand. I pulled away instantly and kept my hands in my lap. He looked hurt but I kept my face cold and void of emotion.

"What do you want?" I asked coldly.

He looked down and sighed.

"I know you're mad at me and probably hate me. But please Amber, know that no matter how long it takes I will prove to you how much I love you and how much I and the rest of the pack need you."

"That's great Ryder, how much you and the pack need me. How about what I need? I need to be away from all of you. Ever since I left I have been so much happier. My confidence has grown. I have learned how to fight and defend myself. I have met different people, learned different cultures and languages. What did I have gowing for me here? A rejected mate, family, and pack? No, so yeah Ryder excuse me for not really caring about you or this pack who never cared for me in the first place." I stopped my ranting and glared and Ryder.

He looked pale and shaken. He was staring at the floor and then he did the unthinkable...

Ryder, Alpha of Blue Moon. One the strongest Alphas out there, went to his knees and bowed in front of me.

"Amber, I am so so sorry that you felt that way. My love it is my job to protect, love, and cherish you and I never did that. The pack never did that. Nor did your family. I recognize how weak of an Alpha and mate I' ve been. I am also too weak to let you go. I am sorry, my life. I am sorry that I can't grant you that one wish. But, I will spend forever proving to you what has changed and proving to you that you will never be taken for granted again." He stood up and looked at me with a heated and lingering look and then he leaned down and kissed my forehead. I was too stunned to move when he whispered "tú eres mi corazón" and promptly turned around and left.
