The Lonely Alpha

Newfound Confidence

Chapter 4

-----------------

        Alex looked at my legs as if he was questioning something, maybe he doesn't feel comfortable with me walking around partially naked. A look of satisfaction crosses his face when he finally decides what ever it is he's thinking about. I shake it off and wait for him to leave the room first, I follow after him to the living room. The air in the room was tense when my eyes connect with the Alphas, quickly he looks me up and down in disgust. Alex pushes me behind him as a way to protect me, though I don't see what there is to protect me from. The Alphas face was red with anger, his hands clenched into fists, the silence was killing me.

I decide to speak first,"What is it you want exactly?" Teicu stirs inside me, she didn't like the tone of voice I was showing to our Alpha.

"Watch your tone! I want you away from my son," he pointed at me with much anger as if it was a passion of his.

Irritation roles off Alex as he speaks,"There is nothing you can do, we're fully mated. If she goes I will too, even if it doesn't mean sacrificing my Alpha title."

Alpha Beck growls at his son,"You don't understand, she is not strong enough to be a Luna, her title is one of the lowest ranks. We can not have that for this family. It would've been easier if you just rejected her in the first place."

"What does it matter what my rank is? I can still have Luna instincts either way, It happens to all Luna's whether they were born into it or not. Luna Ella wasn't born into it, she was only one rank above me yet, she was still pared with you by the moon goddess and gained her Luna instincts," by the time I'm finished I'm in front of Alex stepping closer to the Alpha, I know I pushing my limit but, it needed to be said.

"I think that's enough from all of you," I'm slightly startled by Luna Ella's voice, she enters the room and stands beside the Alpha. "You are over stepping right now, Antheia. You are to apologize for disrespecting your Alpha. You are right, titles do not matter, my mate is going to deal with me making that argument though," I step back a few steps until I'm closer to Alex.

I look at Alpha Beck,"I apologize for my tone, I did not mean to disrespect you Alpha."

Alex pulls me to his chest and holds me,"Why can't you see that everyone disagrees with your opinion?"

The Alpha heaves a sigh,"We will speak of this further at home Alex. Until then, she is to go back to her mother. She is worried sick."

    Guilt sets in all over again, how could I just leave her without saying anything? Quickly, I hurry to grab anything I left in around the house and stand by Alex again, waiting to leave. He sighs and nods, leading us to the garage. My stomach starts to hurt from not eating breakfast but, that is the least of my worries right now. Once I'm in the passenger seat I search for my phone, finding it I turn it back on. I regret leaving home, but I don't regret what happened within the night. The screen on the phone lights up showing me it was close to being 11 am, there were many missed calls from my mother and multiple texts, all asking where I was, how worried she was, and that I was in much trouble. I could tell Alex felt my anxiety through the bond because he was starting to fidget and look at me. I sent encouraging words through mind link and continued to text my mother that I would be home soon.

   I don't know when but I had fallen asleep and my neck started to hurt so, in result I woke up. I look to my left at Alex who was still driving, he looks back at me and tells me that we're 30 minutes away from being home. Relief rushed over me until I looked down, I have no pants on. I know I left without putting any on, which was stupid of me, that will be another thing my mother is going to yell at me for. Instead of stressing over everything, I preoccupy myself with the radio. Pressing onto one of the many buttons, I only stop when I hear a song I like. Alex looks at me and smiles sadly at my attempt to make things better, his right hand reaches out and holds onto my left one. I feel very grateful for him in this moment, I only hope he feels the same.

     After a few minutes of sitting in the passenger seat, listening to music, we start passing houses that belonged to many pack members. I fidget in my seat when we approach my house, my mother was already outside waiting. She watched us pull up to the house with a stone face. Once we reach her, I turn to Alex and smile at him, quickly I lean over while putting my hand on his cheek and kiss his lightly. I open the passenger door and step out nervously, my eyes connect with his and he nods once the door is closed. Watching him drive off, I turn to my mother, I don't see any sign of disappointment on her face, only wrinkles of stress, stress that I caused.

    She beckons me forward as she goes into the house, I'm quick to walk up the driveway and open the white gate that enclosed the front yard.  I speed walk through the front door and close it behind me, my mothers shadow come from the kitchen. As I reach her, I notice she is sitting at the dinning table and I go to sit with her. Her eyes are focused on her hands, both were tangled together tightly. Once I'm seated she looks up with a permanent frown on her face.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was? You never responded to me when I called, texted, or mind-linked. But here you are, smelling like that boy, a fresh mark on your neck, and with no pants on," fury seeks through her mouth making me cower a little.

I look at her with an emotionless face,"He's my mate mother, I know you were worried and I'm very sorry I put you through that. Though, you witnessed what happened, I just want to be with him without anyone's approval. Not his fathers or even yours. He is my mate, we will be together as long as we please."

One of her eyebrows raise in surprise of my sudden confidence,"Very well, you may be an Omega but, you will be a great Luna, I don't  doubt that. Though, know who you're speaking to next time, I am your mother after all. I just wish you knew I want the best for you and if that means you leaving with him then so be it."

There is nothing but truth in her voice and posture,"I apologize, I'm just so over what the Alpha keeps saying. When will he just understand that there is no changing the fact that he can't stop me from being with Alex."

"He's a stubborn one, he'll accept it at some point just give him time. Now go take a shower and change. You can stay home today but, you will go to school tomorrow, understood?"

    Standing up, I nod, letting her know that I did understand and rushed to my bedroom. My plain door in view, I lock it behind me and walked to my bathroom. Here is where I start to miss him already.
