The Newbreeder

Chapter 10

Jasper  

I went to Amaya's room hoping to feel better, hoping that I could explain to her why she was in pain last night but I came to find out that Elijah was with her last night. I knew I could feel someone with her but I thought it was Melina or a maid, the fact that it was a male made my wolf angry and me anxious.  

But I was left confused and stunned. I was confused about how she was able to move as nothing happened. When my father would be intimate with Marie my mother would not be able to move for the next week or so, but Amya looked as if nothing happened. And I was stunned at how angry she was with me, I thought the mate bond would have more control over her. Every time Jacob would apologize to Melina for sleeping with someone or my father would come to apologize to my mother for the pain she felt, they would say it's okay and continue as if nothing happened. 

Yet Amaya is holding a grudge against me as if the mate bond isn't doing to her what it did to them. 

I try not to think too hard about this so it doesn't ruin my day. I finished my run, then I said I would help teach a sparring class for the new wolves. They are mainly teenagers who have just met their wolves. 
Once I finish that I pass the hall that leads to the main area of the palace when I smelt Amaya. I grew curious so I followed it to find her in one of the private training rooms with Elijah, Jacob, and Melina. They stood in front of her as she sat on the floor with her legs crossed over each other, I opened the door to see what they were doing. 

".. and that should help you and your wolf connect just a little more." Melina finished saying before looking up at me along with Jacob and Elijah. I knew Amaya could tell I was there because her aura was giving off angry vibes, but she didn't turn around. 
"What do you want?" she asked still not facing me 
"Nothing, just checking up on you," I told her 
"I'm good, you can go now," she asked taking a deep breath and rolling her shoulders back 
"Actually, I need to talk to you" I was desperate to talk to her that I was going to tell her about the meeting my father wanted to make. 
"I don't. Leave" she stated harshly 
"No, I just.." 
"Dude, come on," Jacob said walking over to me 
"No, I need to apologize to her. Please" I begged in our mind link. She nodded and signaled Melina and Elijah to leave the room with him. 

Once the door closed Amaya stood up and turned to me. I got to get a better look at her now that she was standing. She was wearing a matching teal sports bra top and legging set that looked amazing on her dark skin body, the legging showed off her thick thighs and big hips. I loved the smoothness that came with her skin and the way that her curly black hair looked on her, she was the perfect mate for me and I'm messing it up. 

"Look you're entitled to do whatever you want Mr. Alpha but leave me and my emotions alone," she said walking past me, I swiftly grabbed her arm to stop her from turning her around. We stared into the eyes of each other. I could hear her heart racing. I love how her scent wrapped around us but I knew that if I was to stay that close I wouldn't be able to focus enough to talk to her. I stepped back to put space between us so I could breathe.

"My father wants to meet you," I said, clearing my throat. I looked at her to see her roll her eyes 
"Okay fine I just need to change," she said before she opened the door and left 

*** 
After an hour, I changed into black slacks and a white button-up because I knew that after this meeting with my father and Amaya, that I would have other meetings with pack leaders. I walked over to Amaya's room to take her to my father knowing she didn't know the way there.
Once I knocked on the door she answered by opening the door wearing a white shirt that was cut to show a little bit of her stomach with a pair of blue jeans. I studied her face, she looked unamused when she was with me. It pained me and my wolf spirit. 

"Are we going to go or are you going to stare?" she asked sarcasm in her voice. I didn't care to answer so I started to walk in the direction of my father's office. 
"What is this meeting for? Does he know about your late-night activities?" she asked in a joking tone. I had grown tired of her attitude and her comments and I would be damned if I continued to let her talk to me like that. 

I grabbed her by her waist and quickly pushed her against the wall that was closest to us. Once her back hit the wall she grasped at the quick movement that I had made, I gripped her throat around my hand applying a little bit of pressure. 
"I get that you are upset with me so am I but you will stop it will these jokes of yours" I stated closely to her with a harsh voice 

"Or what?" she asked, clearly trying to get under my skin. 

I put my knee in between her leg grinding it into her crotch area while I slipped my other hand into her shirt grabbing her boob from over her bra. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, I applied more pressure on her throat bringing her closer to my lips as I leaned into her 
"I can make your life a living hell whether that's the fun way or the painful way" as I spoke I tightened my hand around her throat slowly cutting off her airway, and she gripped my hand trying to rip my hand off of her. I let go after I felt her grip go loose, she took big gasps of air, breathing big intakes of air.  

"Fuck you" she coughed out leaning on her knees 
"You wish you could" I shot back 
After she took a few more breathes she stood upright and then I know she was fine, hopefully, that taught her the lesson she needed 

As we got to the door I could sense more than just my father in the room. I opened the door to see my father with Marie behind him as he was talking to two other people. Chole stood in the corner next to the sofa against the wall facing the bookcases. The two people that were talking to my father had now turned around and I could see them, they were Chloe's parents Marian and Tom. Marian looked just like her daughter, just without her blonde hair. Instead, she had brown hair with blonde highlights, Tom had a dad's body with black hair. He was on the board of pack members that made decisions with my father about pack things that needed to be done. 

"Finally you're here," my father says, standing up and walking over to us. Amaya stood next to me, without noticing I put my hand on her lower back and she leaned closer to me. 

"Micheal, alpha of the pack," he said introducing himself as he held out his hand for her to shake. 

"Amaya," she said shaking his hand 
I looked up to see Marian and Tom giving us weird looks as this interaction was happening. As my father started to walk back to his desk I led Amaya to one of the empty seats in front of his desk. Chole stood up from her seat on the sofa to the other chair next to Amaya. I stood leaning on the bookcase waiting for my father to start speaking. 

"Amaya meet Chole," my father said introducing them little did he know that they know each other very well 
"Yes, we have met," Chole said 
"Great that makes this easier," my father said 
"Amaya, do you know what a step-in mate is?" he asked. I was confused as to why he was asking her this. I haven't really talked to her about anything other than being my soulmate, she shook her head no. 
"Well, a step-in mate is when an alpha hasn't met their mate and the pack needs a luna so he is given a female wolf to be mated to, Marie was my step-in mate and now she is the pack luna. Do you see where I am going with this?" he asked 

"Come on and this is who you want to rule our pack, someone who doesn't even understand the pack customs" Tom angrily shouted. My father growled letting his alpha status radiate off of him making Tom quiet down. 

"Anyways, after Jasper didn't find his mate in the first few months of him being eighteen and he hadn't found his mate we started preparing Chole to be his mate but now that you are here it puts us in a hard position," he said 

"I'm sorry I don't understand why, if every wolf has a mate and a step-in mate, if you don't find your mate  and Jasper has found him, why is it a hard position?" Amaya said I loved that she wasn't afraid to ask the questions that needed to be asked. 

"It's difficult because I still want to be luna and I will be luna, newbreeder"
