Run Like You Mean It (Berlin wolves series)

Chapter 11

~~Lia's POV~~

I yawned as I woke up and stretched out. I layed my head back down on the bed only it wasn't the bed. I was laying on something hard and warm. I lifted my head back up to see a sleeping Alec. Then events of yesterday flashed through my mind. I had finally shifted and Alec was my mate...that much I remember.

"What are you thinking so hard about?" A husky voice asked me smoothing out my forehead of its worry lines.

I had been so deep in thought that I hadn't realized Alec's breathing had changed. I blinked a couple times, yawned, and then rested my chin on my hands before replying.

"Last night, " I whispered with a slight smile on my lips.

Alec smiled too, "That is a very happy thing to be thinking about. But you looked worried about something. Tell me."

I sighed.....I didn't want to bring up Beck at a time like this but it was gonna come up sooner or later so I couldn't avoid it. I was contemplating what to say when Alec looked at me seriously.

"It's Beck isn't it?" He asked sitting up and pulling me into him and I buried my face in his chest.

I don't know why I was so upset about it. Sure I had a maybe-more-than chrush on him....but I have a mate now and nothing was going to spoil it. I sat up and pulled my hair back.

"Its nothing. I am perfectly fine. Now, I am going to take a shower and when I'm ready we can go do something, " I said getting off the bed and walking towards the bathroom.

I took a nice long hot shower to relax my muscles. When I got out I put on the clothes I had brought in with me; shorts, a purple tanktop, and my black jacket. I stepped out of the bathroom to find Alec already dressed and ready. This time Rules and Derek where gone so I figured they had already taken off. Alec and I made our way to the lobby to eat breakfast and we sat with Scott and Jacob. I was content with staying silent and not tlaking but some people had other ideas.

   "How do you like your new living arrangement, Lia?" Scott asked me smiling widely.

"Shut up," I said smiling and blushing.

  They all laughed at me until Beck stepped in. His eyes where focused solely on me and it was cold hard stare. I flinched back and when he saw this his eyes softened a little bit.

  "Lia, can I talk to you please?" He asked me softly.

"Sure," I replied getting up, but Alec stopped me.

  "You dont have to go with him," Alec said touching my arm.

I kissed his cheek, "I know. I need to talk to him though."

  Alec nodded and turned around. I followed Beck to the elevators to talk. We faced each other but we didnt talk for quite some time.

  "You said you wanted to talk to me," I said being straightforward.

He only nodded his head.

 "Well?" I asked.

"I know that..that Alec is your mate now and I'm happy for you. But I want you to pick me over him. You've known me since we where born, Lia. You've only known him for like a couple weeks and your already in love with him? I mean come on, Lia! Do you honestly believe he loves you?" Beck said and by the end he was yelling.

  I scoffed, "Yeah I do believe he loves me becuase that's what mates are supposed to do! And yes I love him! I'm not going to pick you just becuase I've known you longer! Alec is my mate and that is not going to change!"

 Beck rolled his eyes, "Please! He probably still does random girls when your not around! Has his way with them becuase you wont give it to him! If he knew that you where easy he would sooner screw you and leave than be your mate!"

  As soon as the words left his mouth I hated him. I never thought I could hate him but I guess he proved me wrong. Beck had gone to far and I wasnt going to forgive him this time. It was too late.

 I felt buckets of tears streaming down my face as I spoke the next words, "I hate you, Beck! You're a stupid doushe bag and I hate you! I will always hate you!"

  I lunged at him but two strong arms caught me around the waist and pulled me back kicking and screaming.

  "Lia stop!" Alec was yelling at me.

I didnt listen. I didnt want to. I was still crying and kicking to get at Beck when I saw several of the other guys trying to hold him back. He was probably going for Alec. I yelled and kicked some more and finally kicked the person behind me's family jewels nad he let me go. I stumbled and then began sprinting towards Beck. But I felt Alec grab me and pull me back again. The tears where still flowing down my face as Alec turned me around so I was facing him. He pulled me close and rubbed my back; I wrapped my arms around his waist and cried. I cried so much I figured I had run out of tears. I had lost my best friend...for good.

  "Shhhh baby. It's going to be okay," Alec wispered in my ear.

Thats when I heard Brian, "Beck go! Now!'

  But I didnt have the energy to turn around. I was still crying and by that point Alec was holding me. I had wrapped my legs around his waist and he was holding me up while I cried and rubbed my back.....
