Alpha of the Dead

Chapter 30

(Siobhan’s P.O.V)

By the time I got out of the hotel, he was gone.

Serves you right! How could you say something so vile to him!? He takes great pride in being a good Alpha to his people and you just s**t all over it.!

I didn’t mean to say it! I was just frustrated!

Well, thanks to your b***h move, Steele is blocking me out. I wouldn’t be surprised if they reject us after this despite how much pain we will all be in.

I didn’t respond, I couldn’t. She was right because he had every right to reject us now. I had continuously pushed him away, telling him I didn’t want a mate and had every intention of rejecting him before leaving. I run back up to the suite and grab the keys to one of our cars and make my way to the packhouse. I get to the gates and that fucker Luther was at the gates again, I knew he was going to give me a hard time after my comment earlier this week about his d**k size.

“I’m here to see my family, Luther, so just let me through.” I lie because I know that he wouldn’t let me through to see Tiernan without an appointment even though I was daughter to the previous Beta and sister to the current one.

“It’s a little late for a visit, don’t you think Siobhan?” He sneers.

“Nope, I don’t. So, you can either open the gate or I’ll drive through the damn thing.” I growl.

He scoffs, calling my bluff and that’s when I through the SUV in neutral and rev the engine.

“Don’t test me Rumpleforskin!” I bellow.

“Fine! You don’t have to be such a t**t about it.” He mumbles, before opening the gates.

I put the SUV back in drive and race through the gates while flipping him off. I make it to the packhouse in record time, throwing the car into park and turning the engine off. I throw myself out of the car and through the packhouse doors, running up the stairs to Tiernan’s floor. His door is closed, and I can hear sniffles coming from his bedroom, he’s crying. My heart seems to shatter into a million pieces, I caused that. Because I couldn’t control my frustration and anger, I caused the mighty Alpha of the Hallowed Manes Pack to cry. I knock on the door and am shocked that he allows me to come in. When I look at his face, it was streaked with tears, and I couldn’t help the fact that my eyes start to water, and my chest feels tight. Then, he speaks the words of rejection.

No!

“NO!” I scream.

I slap my hand over his mouth before he could finish but I could feel the pain of the bond starting to break. I couldn’t believe that he was actually going to go through with the rejection, he told me he was giving me what I wanted. Was that what I truly wanted? No, it wasn’t. I wanted him and I wanted Steele, and so did Tala. So, I did the only thing I could think of to resolve the matter.

“I, Siobhan Williams, daughter of Beta Derrick Williams, accept you, Alpha Tiernan Hathaway as my mate and Alpha.”

Then I did something I never thought I would do, I marked him…without his consent. I felt my canines pierce the soft flesh of the spot between his neck and shoulder and felt his blood flood my mouth. He tasted as good as he smelled. I released my hold on him and then sealed my mark. Tala couldn’t help but preen slightly at seeing our mark on his neck and I couldn’t help but feel a bit happy and proud too. But he was furious. Furious to the point of telling me to leave, thinking that I don’t truly want him. I do want him, I want him so much, but I give him what he wants…space. So, tears streaming down my face, my heart, breaking once again into tiny pieces. Shattering over what I’ve done. Tala howled in pain and anger; it reverberates in my mind. I slowly make my way back to the car, when I literally run into Tiernan’s father, Marshall. He grabs me before I can fall backward on my ass, and when he gets a good look at my face, he knows.

“Si? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” I whisper, trying to get out of his hold so I can go crawl under a rock and die.

“No, this isn’t ‘nothing’. Tell me what’s going on. Please don’t make me use my Alpha command.” He pleads with me.

I sigh, “I said some nasty things to Ty this evening, making him leave the hotel. I came here to apologize and when I got to his room, he tried to reject me, but I stopped him. I spoke my acceptance of the mate bond and then I marked him…without his consent.”

Tears came full force now, sobs ripping through my body, knowing that I basically left him with no choice but to accept the bond and mark me. A rejection at this point will kill us both. I pushed Marshall away from me and ran out of the packhouse and down to the car. I couldn’t help but feel like I was no better than Wyatt and his friends. I took Tiernan’s choice away from him, like Wyatt and his friends had done to me.

I climb into the SUV and drive myself back to the hotel, my vision cloudy from the tears in my eyes. I’m not sure how I made it back, with my mind all over the place along with my emotions but I did. I parked the car, walked back up to the hotel suite, and threw myself on my bed, sobbing. I didn’t even bother to close my bedroom door behind me.
