The Alpha Must Die

Chapter 27- This Night

Jaime POV

I walked through the ratty halls with my head hung low as I left him out there. My wolf scorned me and wouldn't talk to me now for betraying her.

The steps creaked and with every bit of noise my head got even more clouded.

Why did I do it? Why did I kiss him?

While I ran to him I felt like I had no control. My brain was definitely telling me to stop running, that I was making a huge mistake. But they were listening to my heart and my wolf, sadly.

When I walked away it felt gut wrenching and completely wrong, but my mind was clear when I was walking towards him.

I know I wanted a mate three years ago when I was twelve, but I was silly. Those years were my highest peak however, I was respected amongst the pack and made big decisions, so what if I was right to want one? I know now all it brings is hassle and a shit load of trouble I never wanted. Too much responsibly and forgiveness that I just don't have anymore.

The floor creaked in front of me.

My head snapped up and I saw Jake's mate standing there. She was smiling at me, expecting me to return the smile. I blinked and stared at her blankly.

"Hey Jaime."

"Hi." I mumbled. I never actually did remember her name, I'm not sure I ever knew it.

I saw her exquisite make up and nicely done hair, along with her non-mangy looking clothes. Suddenly my mind cleared up. I knew what I had to do. It was simple, and stupid.

"I need your help." I asked unsure.

"Of course, what's wrong?"

I clenched my hands in my pockets nervously and looked down.

"I need to getreadyforhomecoming." I mumbled under my breath.

"What was that?"

"I have to get ready for the homecoming dance tonight." I said nervously. I was afraid she would taunt me for giving in to such a human act but then I remembered she's even more human than me.

Every corner of her face light up and her smile wide and giddy. "Of course!"

Within a millisecond she had wrapped her fingers tightly around my arm and hauled me back outside. There I could still feel the faint remains of his scent, my wolf purred lowly with content, that sound assured me that I just made the right choice.

Jake's mate put me shotgun inside a red fiat parked outside the house. I always wondered whose car it was. It looks so tiny and, well, stupid along side the heavy duty black trucks that mostly everyone has.

She drove onto the main road and we stayed there for about five minutes before she pulled into a nice looking neighborhood. She stopped in front of a darkish blue cottage with a sign that read "Sold" on its lawn.

For a moment I sat staring at the house completely confused.

"We bought it." she said still smiling, but it was a bit more relaxed now.

"When." I croaked out. My heart pained a bit, although it shouldn't.

"Two weeks ago." she said and put her hand on my shoulder. "We started moving in."

I've lost him completely. I know we never really talk anymore, but I had one thing keeping me close to my brother. We lived under the same roof. But now, he's off to another home, probably going to expand his own family, and where will I be? Ill probably stop by on thanksgiving for a year or two if I'm alive, but I'll never see him again. I'm even more abandoned than before.
