❤️-CHAPTER 4-❤️
~ alpha Benedict pov~
as I danced with her I felt the urge to hold her, protect her and never let her go this was the first time i felt like that but I didn't want to believe what my mind projected so I danced with her until the music stopped and everyone continued with their conversation .
I wanted to catch a glimpse of Amelia again so my eyes darted across the room then I saw her standing between her mother and brother Kyle he was to be the next beta after his father.
she was whispering something to her mother
then she left them and slipped through the door. I wanted to follow her when someone tapped my shoulder
it was Elena stone wearing her revealing dress again
what are you doing here I asked coldly
she replied casually my parents were invited so yeah I'm here
she curled her hands around mine and I felt the urge to remove them
don't remove my hands okay we're in a party at least act like we're still friends she said
but I wouldn't budge
next thing I knew she was already drawing attention to us people were looking at us and to them we were the perfect bride
she held my hands as I walked on to greet John my beta after the pleasantries I walked off then I shoved her hands of me
not long I smelled the most intoxicating scent ever it was caramel and honey
I looked around to see the source of the smell
I couldn't find it but I maintained the perfect composure
When I saw Amelia enter Ryker started jumping in my thoughts then he said something shocking
MATE
Amelia was my mate ,
like the daughter of my beta whom I saw as a kid was my f*cking mate .
I couldn't believe it the mate bond was undeniably strong
I started moving slowly towards her but then she looked sad, broken and I sensed that some thing was wrong but I couldn't place my hands on what it was so I decided to approach them gently she was talking to her parents then I saw their expressions
it was a mixture of pain, confusion, they were also scared
finally I understood what was wrong she didn't shift.
meaning she was wolfless I quickly hid my scent from her
because I knew it would mean trouble if she sensed me but then everyone turned their attention to them
whispering
it was bad enough when a pack member gossiped about you talk more of the whole pack it wasn't good
I didn't mean to act on impulse but next my wolf roared at them to keep quite
the whole room fell silent then she turned looking at me like I was a hero in shining armor
but I knew that I wasn't
that's I wouldn't protect her it pained me then the whispers begun again
they were throwing derogatory and painful words at her
then we heard a shoe click on the floor
it was Elena walking with all the confidence as if she owned the place
So your Amelia
it's a shame your wolfless
and the whole room erupted with laughter
she looked around with pleading eyes like she wanted them to listen to her but no one wanted to
how could it come to this
Reilly came forward immediately and shielded her
soon she said
MATE
while looking at me then I remembered that my wolf unmasked my scent with anger
Now I will have to make a decision that might cost me my mate
