The Alpha

Chapter 8

Riley's POV

It's been a while since I slept peacefully without a nightmare. Who would have known that Alpha Ryan would love me? I look at him who is sleeping peacefully holding my hand. His lips parted a bit, snoring softly though his grip on my hand never falters. The way he holds my hands feel like he wants assurance that I am here truly.

I love him and I have been in love with him since I met him. I have known he is my mate the time I stepped into this pack, but I hid it to keep an low profile.

"What are you thinking about so deeply?" he asks half awake. He looks so sexy right now. I am in verge of jumping on his lap and pull him for a passionate kiss.

"I know that I look sexy, but really,what were you thinking about?" he asks. His eyes shows how concerned he is about me which makes my lips curl into a small smile on it's own accord. His face relaxes as soon as he see my small smile. I think he was worried I would reject him because he gave me scars on my back.

I hesitate to reply to his quesion and replied with a small 'nothing'. He seems to be in arguement with his own mind for a few seconds before coming to a resolve. He sighs heavily before opening his mouth to say something, but he chose against it and close his mouth and again giving a huge sigh.

"I know you couldn't trust me just because we love each other, but know that you can tell me anything you want. I will always support you" he says kissing my forehead gently. I know I shouldn't hide myself, but I can't just yet. I simply nod my head in understanding.

He stands up suddenly, making me frown in confusion. His hands leaves mine and I pout at the loss of his touch. He chuckles at my expression before pecking my pout. "Let's get you up, you are healed. It's time for stretching your sore back" he says with a strained smile and I know he still blames himself for the scars.

I let him take his own time to come of the guilt and started getting up with his help. I love him with all my heart and I know he will do anything for his mate, which is me. I have seen him reject numerous bitches who will fall on him for the luna position. I expected him to use his power and position to have his fun with those bitches, especially Jenna, but all I could see was disgust on his face as the girls shamelessly fall on his feet.

Do I blame the girls ? No. Who wouldn't want to have a taste with this deadly handsome man. He is known to keep his alpha position with strict orders, but he also manages to lead a normal teenage life. Other packs knows how deadly he is when it comes for him to protect his people and that's what I love about him, he is a protector.

"My back isn't as sore as you think. I can walk you know" I tell him sincerlely but all I get in return is his chuckles. Seriously, did I say something funny? I guess he can see the confusion in his face because he stops chuckling before giving me a small smile and there is a hint of guilt I can sense,which I didn't push further by asking questions.

He gives my hand a squeeze "I know. But I want to take care of you. Is that wrong of me to do?" with a small pout which have me mentally swooning at how cute he looks. I give a peck to his pout like he did to me which I am glad I did because of how soon his pout turns to large smile.

"All of those bullying and plans to make you hate me and me to hate you all have gone to waste" he says grinning like he have achieved something. I let out a small laugh as I hug him to me tightly wishing I NEVER have to let him go and he will never have to let me go..
