Mine

Chapter 33

Roy was furious with his wolf. Why was it so stupid and insensitive not to realize that she did not want to have anything intimate to do with him?

'She would've loved our kiss' his wolf said making him groan in frustration.

"You don't get it, do you? She'd end up hating us for the rest of her life." Roy replied, hoping his wolf would shut up.

'We could see it in her eyes. She wanted the kiss as much as we did.' Roy could read Kimberly's expression at that moment, he could tell she was expectant about something but he was certain it wasn't a kiss.

"You think that way because she's your mate," Roy said with an eye roll before walking into his study.

Roy didn't want to imagine how embarrassing it would've been if he had kissed Kimberly and she rejected him, that would've been the most awkward and embarrassing moment of his life. Staring at his bandaged palm, he thought about how excited his wolf was when it felt her touch making him mentally facepalm, that was the reason he could barely control himself whenever he was around her.

'Stupid wolf' he thought, which caused his wolf to growl before going silent.

This is just what he needed, to be left alone and in peace. He looked at his palm one more time and wondered why he wasn't feeling even the tiniest bit of pain when he was supposed to since he decided to stop the healing process. He unwrapped the bandage to find his answer, he was shocked at what he saw. He couldn't believe it, his wound was completely healed.

"That's impossible!" He gasped staring confusedly at his hand and the the door.

"Who is she?"

         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mr Wright was starting to get worried about his daughter's whereabouts. He was fully aware of the fact that she was an adult and could take care of herself without his help but this was different, something wasn't right and he could feel it even though he wasn't sure what it was. He knew something was out of place, this was unlike Kimberly to not call him even once when she wasn't close to home.

She had promised to give him a call every day just like he made her promise and although he knew that wouldn't be possible with her possessive fiance beside her whom he could tolerate for acting that way since he was barely home due to his service to the nation, she could've at least called to let him know that they had arrived safely.

Mr Wright couldn't help but feel uneasy due to the bad feeling he was having in the pit of his stomach. It has been more than a week since she went on that vacation with Ian. If she doesn't call him within the next 24 hours, he'd have no choice but to call the cops. Tracing his fingers over Kimberly's photo he was holding, he hoped his daughter was alright.

Roy couldn't wrap his head around what happened the other day. He was 100% sure he didn't heal himself, so how did that even happen? He knew at that moment he was acting like a total jerk by avoiding Kimberly for two days now with the pretense of being busy, thereby putting himself and his wolf through hell from being away from his mate. But, he couldn't bring himself to trust her anymore, she was hiding something from him but he couldn't tell what it was. She certainly wasn't a rogue or a vampire. What was she then?

"Alpha," Roy heard his beta's voice through the mind link making him jump from the sudden interruption.

"What is it, Elijah?" He drily asked wondering what his beta wanted.

"We were on patrol down the Eastern border this morning, everything looked normal until I perceived a werewolf that wasn't from our pack. After inspecting the track left behind, I discovered they were fresh indicating that the werewolf was there some minutes ago, then David the Delta perceived another one, and by the time we were done with the patrol, we detected a total of three"

"Are you sure?" Roy exclaimed in surprise, shocked by this information.

No werewolves were supposed to be lurking around another pack like some rogues. If they needed help or a new home, they should be brave enough to come into the pack and ask for help. He sensed something wasn't right. If this was the doing of the white moon pack, he swore he would rip them apart without sparing any because they were fully aware of the truce between both packs, so they should know better than to cross their borders.

"Yes, alpha. We thought it was strange too, that was why I decided to mind link you immediately to let you know what was going on."

"But you didn't get to see any of them to know what pack they were from?"

" Unfortunately no, alpha"

Roy sighed massaging his temple because he was already having a headache from thinking too much. He hated being taken off guard and not being in full control of his pack at any point in time.

"Double the patrol on every side of the border. I don't want to take any chances. I'll join you soon."

"Okay, alpha." Elijah replied before disconnecting the mind link.

This isn't good news, Roy thought to himself as he tried shaking off the unsettling feeling he was having.

Kimberly just couldn't believe Roy, he was a really difficult person to understand. He agreed to start afresh and become friends with her just two days ago making her quite excited but what does he do? It turns out his definition of friendship is different because he has been avoiding her ever since, which was driving her crazy. She was tired of crying over his attitude, he makes her feel like she has done something wrong. She needed to know what she did wrong as she wasn't buying the excuse of him being busy so she decided to wait up for him.

After hours of waiting, he eventually came home. When he walked into the living room, he was shocked at first to see Kimberly there and wide awake but he immediately masked his expression.

"Why are you up so late?" He asked.

"I was waiting for you." She simply replied standing up from the couch.

"Roy, we need to talk." She walked towards him as his feet was suddenly glued to the spot where he stood.

"Why have you been avoiding me? What have I done wrong this time?"

Roy could see the hurt in her eyes as she asked those questions. How did she realize he was avoiding her?

"I told you I was busy. I'm currently dealing with some issues," he replied not quite far from the truth, just skipping the part that he now had doubts about her.

"Don't give me that crap, Roy!" She yelled taking him by surprise.

Where did she get such courage?

"I understand perfectly well what you've been doing and that is avoiding me... What do you think? That I'm a kid who has no idea what's going on?" Her voice was shaking, already betraying her.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Besides, you have Christine to keep you company." He muttered suddenly getting angry that she was the one acting like the victim when she was obviously hiding something from him.

"I don't need Christine, Roy. I need you! You promised to help me yet you leave me alone, hurting me each time you walk through that door... If you don't want me around then help me get the hell out of here!" She yelled as the tears spilled down her face.

Kimberly couldn't believe what she just said. She never wanted it to come out that way but she guessed she let her frustration get the best of her.
