The Alpha & The Ripper

Chapter 10: She Escaped

JAYDEN'S P.O.V

I have just gotten out of a very important, yet extremely annoying meeting with my pack. Apparently, rogues have been spotted lurking around my territory but they aren't doing anything.

It's like they're waiting for something... anything to either tell them to attack or to keep spying on us. I'm pretty sure that's what they are doing. They are collecting information. The problem is though... what are they collecting information about?

That's what we are about to find out. My Beta Scott captured two of them and they are now in the cellars, waiting for me to go down there and do what I do best. Doing what actually brings me joy... and that's torture.

Not only has the rogues been stressing me out, but also my beautiful, sarcastic, stubborn, smart-ass little mate has been stressing me out... BIG TIME!

First of all, I still have no idea who she is. She refused to tell me her name, so I continue to call her princess. Even though that name gets under her skin, I really do not give a shit. She refused to tells me her name so I have to call her something.

Second of all, she seriously almost made me put a tube in her because she refused to eat anything. Like she thinks I would poison the food or something. She still has no idea what a mate really is. She may say she does, but she honestly does not if she thinks I would poison her.

I could never hurt her... EVER!

Besides Karla... she is the only thing I truly have. The only thing I truly care about.

But I have never met someone so stubborn before as my mate is. She is more stubborn then me, and that is seriously saying something.

Every day since she has been here, she just sat in that corner, staring at the wall. I have been letting her use my bedroom, her not knowing that I sleep in the same room as her every time she falls asleep. I make sure to wake up really early before she does, so she doesn't freak out when she wakes up in the same bed as me. Even though, she is going to eventually do that without any problem on her own.

I constantly had to carry her to bed, because she always fell asleep by that corner... not knowing exactly how that was comfortable. I know she knows it's me who carries her to bed... I just hope that her silence about it is meaning that she likes me doing it because she thinks it sweet. Not because she is planning on hurting me one night in the process as I do so.

Not that I'm scared... it's just holding her in my arms and carrying her to the bed is what I look forward to every night. I know I might sound like a creeper but, I love watching her sleep. She looks so at peace and not stressed about everything.

I know this whole thing has been rough on her. She was kidnapped so I could use her for information and threaten her team... she is absolutely right about that in the beginning. And if she wasn't my mate, she would probably either be badly injured or most likely dead because she made it very clear that she will never give up her teams information.

And I totally respect that.

She is tough.

It surprises me how tough she really is. I know hunters train all there lives to become quick and strong... but she is different.

Not only is she fast and strong physically, but I think mentally as well. Something happened to her... something that made her become heartless and ruthless. Something that made her build a wall up so high, so know can know who she truly is. I can tell she is hiding behind that wall of hers, scared to death to come out from behind it.

That wall is what is keeping her from feeling... from caring. I know I have no room to talk, but my situation is completely different then hers.

That wall of hers is what is keeping us apart, and I need to find some way to brake it down. I need her to trust me. I need her to accept me as my mate. I need her to let me mark her and I need her to mate with me so I can protect her.
