Save Me Alpha

CHAPTER 14

ROSALIE POV

Training was BRUTAL.

Ow

Ow

Ow

Every step I took after it was so hard. I wanted to play with the knives, but Debbie said to start off with basic attack and defence moves, some I already knew from classes I've taken, others I didn't but enjoyed learning.

After 2 hours of training straight, yes straight. No break. Slave drivers man I tell you.

I had to bare in mind these woman are wolves, because they didn't stop and barely broke a damn sweat.

At the end of it, the woman started talking to me about training again tomorrow but they laughed when I said maybe take it easy on me. They invited me to have dinner with them, as sweaty as we were which I accepted. 

I didn't know if this was like friendship or something, but I liked it.

I started headed to the pack house talking to Jan about the other girls, the ebony skinned queen was called Aliyah, she was really nice and kept commenting on the guys that were also training. 

There was Rachel and Hannah, non identical twins, which could have fooled me to be honest, both looked like they had been beaching it everyday being as tanned as ever, the only difference I could see was that Rachel had pure black hair and Hannah had chestnut brown hair. Again, both really nice too. 

The other woman, who appeared a little apprehensive around me was Francesca, Frannie for short, she was Italian with excellent English, dark blonde hair and blue eyes, she was shifty around me. I don't know why.

As we entered the pack house kitchen, it wasn't too busy, the girls sat at the little island, I spotted Sofia cooking and she gave me a smile and a wink when she spotted me. She placed a massive salad bowl on the table, a big bowl of pasta and a plate with assorted sticks of carrots, celery etc.

A little too healthy for me, but I like these girls so I'll eat it.

We all filled out plates and dug in.

"So Ros, tell me. What lies did Miranda tell you about our alpha?" Jan asked.

The twins started laughing, Rachel piped up "She's already started huh?".

Hannah started speaking with a mouth full of food, "She does it with all the guys Ros, when me and Hannah got here she told us, alpha liked to keep new girls in his basement to r**e for month before selling them to other packs."

Jan made a disgusted noise, "When I dated Jaxon before Cams got here, Miranda told me that Jaxon liked his girls young and once he found out my age, he'd kick me the curb."

I could feel the shock on my face, did Miranda lie?

"Sh-she made my mate reject me..." A little voice said, I turned my head to find Frannie, her eyes focused on her food.

Sofia had told me about mates being able to reject each other, she explained it as a kind of suicide.

Really painful apparently.

Frannie met my eyes, "how did she do that?" I asked, Miranda was a b***h but surely not that bad?

Frannie put her fork down and looked at me.

"She convinced him I was cheating on him, back then I had a gay best friend Charlie, except nobody knew he was gay except for me and Miranda, it was her brother... my then mate Alex walked in on us having fallen asleep on the sofa watching a movie, he went crazy and killed Charlie and rejected me on the spot. I just accepted it... he had killed my best friend and Miranda didn't even bloody flinch... later I found she had slept with Alex and then he went to another pack." She had unshed tears looking at me.

This poor woman.

"Why would Miranda do that? What would she have to gain?" I asked, feeling suddenly pissed.

A tear escaped Frannie's eye, she shrugged and wiped the tear away.

Aliyah put her arm Frannie for a hug, "She's a f*****g psycho Ros, always has been. As soon as she came here, she was like it. Nobody knows s**t about her before she came here, when Carmen died... Miranda was determined to be the new Luna. No matter what." 

"Who's Carmen?" i asked.

Aliyah's eyes darted around the table, I saw Sofia's back to be immediately stiffen.

Jan put her arm on mine which I instinctively pulled away and put my hands in my lap, "She's Jasper's first mate Ros, didn't he tell you? She was killed in a rogue attack, he was a train wreck after that. You're his second mate, his second chance at happiness."

My breath caught in my throat.

His first mate died?

My poor Jasper.

"He's so lucky to have a second mate, I'd give anything." Frannie said, running her hands through her hair while wiping away another tear. 

I turned to her and smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry Frannie, I didn't know." 

She smiled back and nodded at me.

Maybe that's why she was shifty with me, from what I've heard, second mates are extremely rare.

Not heard of often.

"Anyways, on a lighter note, would you like to come to join us at Jan's room tonight for a slumber party? We are having loads of fatty foods and wine! We're gonna watch some girl films and then probably have a cry at the Notebook too." Deb asked me. 

A slumber party?

"You guys want me to come?" I whisper towards them all.

They all started nodding their heads and smiling, Rachel started clapping her hands excitedly.

"I'm 26 guys, I think maybe I'm a little old." I say, trying to hide my smile.

Debbie laughs at me, "So? I'm 32, the twins are a year younger, Frannie is 21, Aliyah is... 28? Close enough and Jan is 30 next week so no you're not too old. Unless you want to call your friends old? Not cool" She laughs again.

These woman want to be friends with me.

People want to be friends with me.

I can feel a weird sense of excitement taking over, "Sure OK... but can I invite Cameron?" 

Jan smiles and nods, "She always comes honey don't worry, I think Nina is coming too, you'll like her, she's the pack's accountant, she's all work and no play. Only 17 though, but really mature for her age."

I nod and smile and them all, they start talking about what pajamas they are gonna wear and what each of us could bring, I didn't have anything but Sofia butted in on my behalf saying she would make brownies for me to take. 

Jesus Sofia, mom move much?

The talked abruptly stopped, I looked up seeing them all staring at me and then behind me, all of them start smirking at me and keep making gestures towards me.

I'm not good at socialising so I don't have a f*****g scooby doo what they're doing.

Someone coughs behind me, I feel butterflies fluttering like they're on cocaine in my stomach.

Jasper...

"Sorry ladies, just grabbing some... food and then I'll be out of your way." His voice is a drug on it's own.

Just like porn for my ears I swear.

Jan starts fake coughing at the girls at the table, "We were just leaving alpha, Rosalie here was just saying she hadn't finished eating but we are sucky friends and don't want to say, right ladies?"

Ummm what?

The rest of the girls murmur 'Yes' and move quickly, while Jan keeps her hand on my shoulder keeping me in my place. 

First time I didn't feel weird with the contact.

As the girls filtered out of the kitchen, Sofia winked at me and mouthed 'later' at me, Jan pushed open the kitchen door and said, "I'm sure alpha will walk you to my room later so you don't get lost, we're meeting at 9, see you later hon" and she left.

What just happened?

I turn back to my food, I don't look up but I can feel his presence near me like a sun ray.

Don't be f*****g shy Ros.

You're not scared of anyone.

I look up from my plate and see him grabbing a plate from the counter, I notice he's still in the same outfit as early, I of course noticed. Shorts, t-shirt and sliders. Nice.

Control yourself Ros.

He fills his plate with food, "So can I sit? Or are you break my nose like you did Miranda's?"

I clench my jaw hearing her name.

"Don't you want to know why I broke her nose?" I ask.

He stands there staring at me holding his plate.

I roll my eyes, "Just sit down for f**k sake".

He smirks and sits down across from me, can't say I'm annoyed but a little distance can keep my mind in check.

"I don't want to know why you broke her nose, it's healed now by the way, she's a werewolf, we all heal fast. She has had a lot of bones broken over the years because of her mouth don't worry... I just hope you didn't believe whatever s**t she tried to feed you." 

I looked down at my plate, I was really hoping it would take a while for her nose to heal.

BITCH.

I started eating again, he followed suit.

"Can we start again please Ros?" He asked catching me off guard.

I look at him, unsure if to trust him.

"I mean you know about wolves now, you know about Miranda being a lying cow. Can we get to know each other please?" Oh god, he really smashes through my defenses. 

I stop eating and look into his eyes.

"What about those shitty rules you gave me before?" I hadn't f*****g forgotten. Mostly because he said he'd f**k me, of course my dirty mind didn't forget.

Jasper laughed and put his fork down, "I'm sorry about those OK, the only rule is that you don't leave me without giving me a chance?"

Ugh, I was slightly hoping he would uphold some of the rules.

Pulling my mind out of filth city, I nodded at him.

I got up and emptied my remaining bits of food in the bin before putting my plate in the dishwasher.

"So I'll be outside your room for 9?" I look up at him and smile, he gives me pantie soaking smile back.

Lord have mercy.

Is this what being mates is like?

I walk to the door, feeling myself a lot more than I have in years.

I stop at the door and turn to him, suddenly feeling like a horny teenager.

"Yeah 9 is ok but could you do me a favour?" His eyebrows furrow confused, he nods at me.

"Could you rethink the rules? I liked the ones about being punished if I misbehave..." I bite my lower lip seductively and could see him gulp surprised by my words.

"I especially liked the punishments you talked about." I winked at him and left feeling wetter than a waterfall.

I'm gonna try embracing these feelings.

Maybe take a cold shower too.

Ugh.
