The beta's enemy mate

The truth will set you free....

I open my arms slowly, they feel crusty, sore, heavy, like they had been rubbed painfully with sandpaper. I feel strong arms wrapped around my belly, I glance over my shoulder and see Chase. His eyes shut, looking peaceful as he slept soundly. A small smile braces my lips. This is what it must feel like... I be held by someone that loves you. Not that Chase loves me or anything.... but for a moment, I try to imagine it, the delusion making my morning already seem better.

His eyelids flicker, and suddenly flings open to reveal his green depths. Thy soften for a moment, then suddenly as if reality crashes down, they turn stoney, and cold. He withdraws his arms, and rubs his sleepy eyes. Clearing his throat, he turns and says, "glad your ok.... how ya feeling? Any better?" I nod. "Ok well... I have to get ready for training." He climbs out of bed and rushes to the bathroom. And back to square one. Where we both act like total arseholes to each other.

I sigh in frustration, after last night, I thought things had changed, but apparently not. I lay there for another moment or two before I too climb out of bed, I head to the closet and change my outfit. I wore a black bodycon dress with white lace, and white laced high heels, I decided to just do my long hair in a fancy side braid. The dress showed off my curves and made me look sexy. Normally I didn't like to show off my back but seeing as how the dress and my hair hid most of it, I decided what the hell.

I had decided to tempt Chase into wanting me, last night something about him changed, he was different, and I wanted that, I wanted that guy that acted like he cared, acted like I meant something and I was determined to get him. So if I made him drool a bit, well it was a win for me, I wasn't going to show off like the other girls did, with their boobs singing out and arse on show, I was going to keep it classy, leave a little to the imagination.

With that attitude, I set off towards the kitchen where I could hear them all gathered around the table, cutlery clattering against the many plates laid out before them. As soon as I entered, all eyes were on me, the men looked at me with lust, the girls were shocked and speechless, but Chase.... I could see his jaw clenched. His hand fisted on the table, as if he was trying to hold something back as best he could. I ignored them all and walked confidently towards the Luna. As I approached, she gave me a warm heartfelt smile, I returned it.

She handed me a plate and gestures to the chair beside her, I gracefully sat, and thanked her quietly, the Alpha examined me for a moment and glanced at Chase before he gave me a full smile that reached his eyes. "Good morning how did you sleep last night? Good?" I nodded, the Luna adding food upon food on my plate, she must think I don't eat what with all the bacon there was piled high. The Alpha must have sensed my distress as he whispered to her, "sweetheart if you pile any more on, she might not make it through the door anytime soon...."

The Luna blushed at him an apologized to me, I waved it away, saying "it's nice of you to help me, thank you Luna. I'm not really a big fan of bacon... but the sausages look delicious, how do you get them so juicy?" At my question I hear Chase choke on his mouthful of coffee, a few snickers ran around the room. I ignore them and carry on. "I mean I've seen quite a few sausages in my time, but where I come from their small compared to these, how do you make them so hard yet so soft?.."

Even the Alpha starts choking on his bit of sausage at this point, Chase looks like his eyes are about to pop out, and a couple of young teenagers at the back burr out laughing. The Luna giggles and replies whilst still laughing, "it's all about the handling, you have to be quick yet slow.... you know tease the sausage into cooking, you don't want a soft sausage that's not a little salty do you?"

At this point nearly everyone is breaking out into laughter and me and the Luna share a secret smile, Chase shoots up out of his seat and heads out of the door, the smile on my face slowly fades as I see a skinny blonde with a big rack and no arse chase after him. I blink a couple of times and turn my attention back to my full plate. The Luna, whose name was Amelia, rests her hand on my arm. She gives me a small sad smile. "Give him time.... he'll come around, it just takes time sweetie..." after that everything quietened down but out of curiosity I make an excuse and head out of the door. I turn up the stairs as if heading back to my room.

I hear faint movement behind one of the bedroom doors on my left, as I get closer, it gets louder, I manage to make out bed springs, and grunts and a high pitched squeal. "Oh baby.... yes... oh god baby.... fuck me chase, fuck me harder baby.... I'm coming.... oh YES!" I hear a male grunting sound as the bed gets quicker and quicker, one lay grunt and everything turns quiet.

I slam my hand over my mouth, afraid of making any noise, I hear shuffling again so I quickly hide around the corner, I peek out and see that blonde bimbo come out straightening her dress, Chase followed behind, zipping up his jeans, he wore a smug smile on his face. And pecks her on the lips, with his hand resting at the small of her back he guides her down the stairs and out of site.

Once their gone, I slide down the wall, unable to brace myself any longer. Tears stream down my face as I hold back the sobs. A brown pair of men's boots appear in my line of site. But I don't look up, too afraid, in too much shock to even acknowledge this mans presence. He squats down and with a sympathetic look says to me, "hey... you alright there?... need a hand? Or shoulder? My names Kane by the way...... come on let's get you up, trust me you don't want anyone to see you like this."

He gently lifts me up bridal style and I bury my head into his cotton shirt. I peek up at him, I take in his appearance quietly, his dark nearly black hair unruly, his eyes crystal blue, his square jaw was taut, and I felt his muscles bulge with my weight, he must be tall too. (Pic of Kane below.)

He takes me to a large bedroom, with a queen sized bed, all in the colour blue, it felt serene, gently laying me down on the bed he disappeared into a doorway only to return with tissues, a wet cloth, and a large drink of hot chocolate. He hands me the tissues and cloth, but when I reach out for the hot chocolate, he smirks and says, "oh no... this is for me... this hot chocolate might be too good for you.... sure you wanna try it?"

I nod quickly, he chuckles deeply and hands it to me, then sits on the edge carefully watching me. "So I guess... you heard that right?" I nod sadly. He sighs deeply and rubs my arm. "I'm sorry about that... is he.... your mate?" I shake my head. And think before I give him my answer. "He's supposed to be my mate, I got chosen to come here, ya know by the council... but he hates me. And now I know why.... it's because he already has her.... he doesn't want me...."

He studies me for a moment and then confidently announces, "well.... fuck him. If he doesn't see how attractive and kind hearted you are then he's an idiot... I tell ya what.... if you want to, I could talk to the Alpha and see if he and I could swap places.... you could mate me.... only... ya know if you wanted to. It's up to you, no pressure but the offer stands." I raise my eyebrows, maybe I could.... should.... but I would have to think this through properly...

"Can I think about it? I just don't want to rush into any of this." He nods his head fast. And stammers, "how about you take your time, but for now, maybe... we could.... or I could ya know..... woo you? Ya know date you.... take you out buy you flowers... that sort of thing?" I smile brightly at that. I tell him that that would be nice. And that I was looking forward to it.

With that I left his room and wandered back to mine to watch tv til the sun set, I was getting giddy, I'd never been on a date before and a date with Kane was probably going to be worth all the drama this morning. For once I felt light, knowing that someone actually wanted me for me.
