The OFF LIMITS Alpha

Chapter Five

It's my first day back to school since I ran away. I'm honestly nervous since I haven't seen anyone since I ran away, besides Liz and Ren.

I don't like how Ren wants me but isn't willing to break up with Ashlee. Damn that boy for not just dumping her for a long time ago.

As I get ready for school, I decide to straighten my wavy hair, as well as my makeup. I put on skinny jeans and a bright, baby blue tank top. I put on boots that have an inch heel on them. After that I grab my car keys to my mustang and drive to school.

I quickly step out of my car and smile when I see Mason.

"Hey Mas!" I squeal.

"Quinnlyn is that you?" Mason asked as he squinted.

"Yes Mas, it's me!" I said sighing and pouting slightly.

"I've missed you so much Quinny!" Mason said as soon as I reached him, then he hugged me so tight that my back cracked.

"I've missed you too but I'm fine and I had a great time by myself!" I said smiling at him.

Honestly, I had an amazing month by myself, I learned that it hurt to be rejected but I can be strong and not fall apart. He may be my "soulmate" but right now we just aren't meant to be together so here I am today living my life without him.

I made it through without dying from not being marked and I haven't went through heat yet either so obviously my wolf side has been fighting to keep it away and for my sake, I hope it doesn't come any time soon because I still haven't decided between my three options.

"I'm going to go now," I said before leaving.

I walked through the halls that will be forever boring. I can't believe I'm eighteen and my wolf senses are even better now than when I was seventeen.

"Hey Quinnlyn, can I talk to you?" Someone asked.

I turned around to find Ashlee. I put on a fake smile and just gestured with my hand for her to continue.

"I broke up with Ren because I found my mate, and I found out that you're truly his mate, but this isn't me being nice, this is me helping Ren. Just forgive him," Ashlee said then she sighed, "And for what it's worth, I think you'll be a great Luna."

"I don't want Ren, and I most certainly don't need him," I said before walking away.

"Just give him a chance, he really is amazing you know and finding your mate is the best thing ever!" Ashlee shouted down the hallway.

I just ignored her, what does she know? She's just been with every guy in our school. The best feeling is when you can take control of your body and not let your mate decide things for you. I sulked all the way through the school day. Once I got home Connor was waiting for me.

"Hey Quinny, so Mom left and Dad's upstairs," Connor said giving a sad smile.

"I need to talk to Dad quick," I said before running upstairs.

"Dad?" I asked once I knocked on the door.

"Come in Quinny," my dad said sadly.

"Dad, I'm so sorry for running away!" I replied before I hugged him and began to cry.

In movies the girl almost always looks good when she cries but that's not entirely the case for me, me crying isn't cute, I actually found myself annoying.

"Quinny, why did you run away from me?" My dad asked with a few tears of his own falling.

"I was rejected and I had one month to be marked by my mate, but I didn't want him to mark me so I ran, and I survived on my own," I said.

"That's my girl, but please don't ever run away again," my dad said.

"I promise dad," I said hugging him one last time.

I got up and left and decided to go for a run. I ended up at the cliff again, I'm kind of growing attached to the adrenaline rush it gives me from jumping off it.

"You scare me everytime you jump off of the cliff," a boy says.

I climb my way back up the cliff to find a smirking Renier Collins.I just looked down at the water before quickly looking back up and glaring.

"Well I'm not your problem, so even if I would hit something it wouldn't concern you," I said.

"Quinn, I know I rejected you but I promise if you would just give me a chance, I'd love you, protect you, and be the best mate you could ask for," Ren said looking at me.

"No Ren, I'm not taking you back, you had your chance and you chose to stay with Ashlee and it's not my fault she dumped your sorry ass for her mate," I said.

"Fine, have it your way but," Ren replies, "Just think about us if we were together."

I backed away from Ren, "I'm not being your mate, you're an arrogent ass of an alpha."

"At least I don't run away because my mate rejected me," Ren growled back angrily.

"That's because I never rejected you!" I yelled, "And yes, I said that I wouldn't let you break Ashlee's heart but you chose to stay with her."

Ren froze in place and he clenched his jaw. I quickly realized what I said and then decided that maybe I should reject him.

"Renier Collins," I began.

"Please don't reject me," Ren said before he kissed me.

I felt myself lean in closer to him as we kissed. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy kissing Ren. He is the hottest guy in school and yet he was my mate, the one I was so rudely interrupted by due to him kissing me.  I wanted to pull away but yet I didn't.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked when I pulled away to breathe.

"Sure," Ren said.

"Why did you reject me?" I asked.

Ren sighed before saying, "Well you basically told me to."

"Ren, I think before either of us commit, I think we need to go out and date other people, mostly me since you've been with practically every girl," I said.

"Quinnlyn, I want to get to know you, we can take it one step at a time, and since we're mates, why waste anymore time when we'll just be together anyways?" Ren asked.

"Because Ren, I think you'll just end up hurting me!" I yelled.

"Alphas, we have a problem!" Someone shouted.

I looked up to find one of Ren's pack members.

"Come on," Ren said grabbing my hand gently and pulled me towards the woods again.

Ren started talking to me as we followed his pack member.

"Quinn, I want to kiss you and be with you so please just give me one chance, if I screw it up I promise to leave you alone," Ren said.

"What if I don't want you to leave me alone?" I asked.

"Then I'll be there whenever you need me and I will always help you," Ren said before kissing my cheek.

We finally got to the spot where Ren's pack member was standing.

"What is it Payton?" Ren asked the guy who's waiting for us.

"We have a problem alphas, we have rouges trespassing on our lands and they keep getting closer," Payton replied.
