The alpha's mate

Chapter 36

"Bingo." She smirks. "So you aren't just a pretty face."

"Jaiden never mentioned a mate." I mumble. She shrugs and begins slowly pacing back and forth, never taking her eyes off of me.

"Yeah well that's Cassie's fault. Jaiden was so blinded by love that he would do anything for her. Kinda like you. You would both risk your lives for her." My warriors growl deeply and I hold up my hand. They instantly stop and I drop my arms to my side. "We had a plan. Make Cassandra fall in love with Jaiden again. She would run back here and reject you. I would be a scared little wolf who stumbles on your land. I was supposed to make you fall in love with me, you see. But no... Plans changed."

She finally stops pacing and Alpha Gonzalez's warriors stand behind mine. He stands by my side and she glares at him. "Jocelyn."

"Hello uncle" She says. I groan and grab him.

"There's too many plot twists for me." I whisper. He coughs nervously and I let him go. "Explain."

"Okay... My sister, Olivia, had a child." He looks at Jocelyn. "That would be Jocelyn. When Olivia died she was 15 So she lived with us for a while."

"So Valerie is her cousin?" He nods, confirming David's accusation. I glance back at Jocelyn.

"After a while, Valerie started dating this guy." Jocelyn continues. "Jaiden. When I turned 16, I found out he was my mate. He knew but Valerie was in the way. So I left. He never rejected me though. He was too scared of the pain. So another year went by and he contacted me. Of course I loved the plan because she could feel my pain. The pain of losing a mate to your own blood."

"But she's dead." I spit out through my teeth. "So why are you here?"

"Well since I can't kill her I have no choice but to kill you." She chirps. "So now do you see? Valerie ruined everything. You could stay alive if she hadn't killed Jaiden. Thank me Alexander. I'm going to reunite you guys."

"That's if you can kill me." She winks and raises her hands. She drops them and her pack starts running towards me. I growl and my pack charges towards them.

Our packs instantly start attacking each other and I glare at Jocelyn with a clenched jaw. We begin walking towards each other and I swing at her. She dodges and knees me in my left side. I growl and she punches my jaw. I wince slightly and she kicks me in the same side. As she reaches out to punch me, I dodge quickly and we growl.

She lunges at me and I grab her arm. I twist her body, her back against my chest and her arm uncomfortably close to my torso. "Kinky are we?" I growl and she smirks. "I usually wait until after the first date."

"Ah so you ARE confirming you're a whore?" I ask. She chuckles and wraps her free arm around my neck. I wince as she brings my head into her neck.

"Don't be jealous darling. I've only got the hots for you." She laughs and my face morphs into disgust. She looks down at me over her shoulder and laughs, shifting her body towards my cock. My eyes widen and she bites her lip. "Oh baby. Can't wait to feel it."

"My God... You are a disgusting whore." I dislocate her shoulder and she cries out. I push her and she looks at me.

"Oh I love it when you're rough." She chuckles. What is with this chick?! "You can't hit me Alexander."

"Why not?" I ask, getting in a fighting stance. She smiles and tilts her head, holding her shoulder.

"Well I'm your mates cousin." I scoff and she giggles. "No. You know she wouldn't want you to hurt her family. Better yet her favorite cousin."

"Fine." I say in defeat. She grabs her dislocated shoulder and pops it back into place. She walks up to me and I sigh.

"There we go. Corporate." She punches me in the stomach and I wince. She knees me and I fall to the floor. "That's right." She grits through her teeth. "Bown down bitch."

She connects my face with her knee and I groan. She runs her finger across my jaw and steps back. She kicks me again and I fall back. She hoists me up on my knees again and I hear an unsatisfying crack. I grab my shoulder in pain.

"Karma's a bitch." She whispers. I whimper and she pulls out a silver dagger. "Oh and did I forget to mention?" The sliver doesn't burn her and I stare at her. "I'm protected by a witch." She plunges it into my arm and I cry out. She pulls it out and I clutch the bleeding wound. "Come on baby you can do better."

She plunges it into my chest and I groan with wide eyes. She twists it inside me and I gasp for air. She pushes it into me deeper and I scream.

Is this really it? Is this where I die? I can't... Not without telling Valerie... Telling her that I'm in love with her.
