The Alpha chose me

Chapter eleven

I yanked my wrist from his grasp and bolted. I could hear him call after me but I didn't care. Tears blurred my vision as I shifted into my red wolf. What was he? Who was he? Questions slammed into my mind with so much force it shook my entire body.
I had been running for awhile now and my body ached with stress and exhaustion. I stumbled and tripped on a branch, lurching my wolf forward into the air. I shifted mid fall and landed naked on a soft bed of moss and leaves. Exhaustion seized me and I closed my eyes, relieved by the feeling of the cool damp earth against my burning skin.

I was tired, sore and broken. I wanted nothing more than to just lie there forever and forget about all of this. But a small part of me knew that it would never happen , I had to fix this. Somehow.

SNAP! I jumped and sat up in a defensive position,ready to face danger. But instead my body softened at the sight of Rose standing behind a bush, from the amount of skin showing I assumed she too was naked. She looked uncomfortable , I could see the pink that stained her pale cheeks. I smiled and stood,not bothering to cover up my exposed body. Rose adverted her eyes, she seemed so young and vulnerable like this. I raised my chin and looked at her, willing her to meet my gaze. And she did for a few seconds before turning away.

" I have nothing to be ashamed of, and neither do you " I said in a flat tone. I was still in pain from what happened last night and I didn't want her to know, I didn't want anyone to ever know. In all truth I was ashamed of my mate.
She looked over my body for a brief second before looking away." Speak for yourself" she mumbled. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. She looked at me then back down at her body.

I opened my mouth but she raised her hand for me to stop, instead she stepped out from behind the bush. I gasped. She was covered in scars, they marked her stomach, her legs, her arms and I could only imagine the marks on her back. They were claw marks. From another wolf.
I met her gaze with a newfound sense of anger that she was hurt like this. She looked into my eyes and I watched as they filled with tears that slowly began to stream down her face.

" this is what Alpha's do " she sobbed " they destroy women! " she swiped at her tears and crossed her arms. I took a step towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
" whoever did this .....I promise I will find out who did this to you and I will punish them" I said menacingly. She looked at me and her stance softened. She enveloped me in a tight hug that I returned.
A sudden presence alerted us, We both instantly pulled apart and turned to look at Sam who was carrying clothes in his arm. He took in the scene and smiled " well well what do we have here...Oh some girl on girl action I see" Rose glared as he winked at me I laughed back. " I thought you said i wasnt your type? " I said quoting him. He shook his head " YOUR not" he pointed to me chuckling, I prefer redheads. Rose and I dressed and we made our way back to the small cottage house we had stayed at before.

I couldn't tell them what happened last night with James, they would hate me. And right now they were the only friends I had. No I wouldn't tell them. Ever.

Instead a new question popped up in my mind. What was Rose doing there anyway ?
