MY POSSESSIVE MATE

6

BLAKE

I stared at Diana through the windscreen as she walked as fast as she could to the pack house, and all I wanted to do was scream. My palm hit the steering wheel as I glared right at this house. Why did she have to be his daughter? It could have been anyone else, not Alpha Paul. But the goddess played a trick on me by bringing me to this place.

Slamming my hand repeatedly on the steering wheel, I tried hard to control myself. It would take me nothing to walk into this pack and destroy everything that had brought me so much pain, but still, it wouldn’t be right because she was in there, and I just couldn’t hurt her.

"Damn this whole thing to the moon! I don’t need this!" I grumbled as I turned the car around, driving at full speed to my pack.

Diana’s scent was still everywhere, pulling me in, and I hated that. She didn’t have to belong to that wretched me, and still, I wanted her a lot more than I could have liked. It was the worst thing to ever happen to me, and I just hoped, with all I had in me, that this affection wouldn’t become my undoing.

A nervous energy rocked through me as I moved through the crooked path before I finally got to the pack house. There were a few omegas around, but they were like an incessant pain on my path. They tried to wave as I moved through them, but I didn’t look at them even once. Their wicked gazes were not needed right then.

I finally slid the car into the parking space and tossed the car key to the valet before jumping out of my car. The urge to be alone consumed me so much, and I found myself running to the pack house. The door was slightly open when I got there, and I quickly dashed in, only to see Ethan sitting alone on the dining table with a fork in his hands.

His eyes connected to mine almost immediately. "Alpha, you came back so quickly," he observed.

I scoffed, ignoring her as I continued towards the stairs. The clatter of utensils greeted my ears, but I didn't turn my head in his direction. Just as I was about to take my first step on the stairs, he jerked me back harshly. My leg twisted painfully, but somehow I managed to hold myself upright.

"I'm so sorry," Ethan mumbled.

I looked up at him with a glare. "What the hell was that?"

"I'm so sorry, Alpha. I was trying to get your attention, but you weren't listening to me. It was the only choice that I had," he said with a sad smile.

I rolled my eyes. "What exactly happened that you're so violent?"

He frowned lightly. "No, I should be the one asking you that question," he snapped.

I huffed. I tried to move away from him, but he moved along with me, stopping me from moving too far. My brows knitted together in anger. This was just the limit.

"You're irritating me right now, Ethan. What the f**k is your problem?"

He shrugged. "You're crossing the line right now, Ethan. Don't give me a f*****g headache!" I snapped angrily.

"I wouldn't be doing that if you didn't look so miserable. What is the problem? Why are you behaving this way? You were a bit cheerful when you left, but now it looks like you're fighting with the world or something."

I sighed as I turned around, pulling at my wrist in a bid to control myself. "You don't need to worry about what I'm doing. All you have to do is take care of yourself, and everything is going to be fine," I grumbled.

"It's no use talking to you, is there?" Ethan whined.

I shrugged as I turned around to face him. "Whatever," I mumbled.

Shoving Ethan out of my way, I made my way up the stairs to my room. Getting safely inside my room, I slammed the door shut and clicked it locked. Now, no one was going to irritate me with their nonsense questions. I would be fine and get my brain working with no external drama.

My steps were soft as I made my way to the picture by the side of my bed. It was resting on the counter and looked quite harmless. But it wasn't. My parents had been destroyed because of Alpha Paul and his wife, and I would have to take revenge. It may not have been Diana’s fault, but I would never have anything to do with her again.

'Why don't you reject her, Blake?' My wolf whispered softly through the mind-link.

The thought of Diana almost getting kidnapped by that boy made my heart clench. I had the insane urge to hit that man so much, and for the first time, I realised the mate bond wasn't the only thing making me have so many protective instincts towards her. I also cared a lot for her.

'I don't think that I would be able to do such. I need more time to think. I really don't want to talk about all these because it hurts me so much,' I grumbled.

'Pardon me, Blake. I'm going to support you in any decision you make, but it would be very difficult to understand that lady since her father hurt your parents so much. People have always picked themselves up after a broken relationship. This time, you would have to do the same.' he whispered once more.

I gritted my teeth hard as I placed the picture back where I had kept it before retreating out of the room. I was tired of these thoughts, and I needed some sort of release. The only thing I had to do was run.

That was exactly what I did until I got out of the pack and moved in the direction of the river. There, I saw Greta, the beautiful red-haired woman who was Beta Theo's daughter.

She shifted her gaze towards me and smirked. That was when I noticed that her flowery gown was a tad too short today. I tried to ease my emotions as I waited, and in moments, she was in front of me.

"Tell me something, Alpha Blake. Is it true that you've found your mate?"
