Together we're better.

the alpha

Emily's POV

After I was brought to my apartment. which I love it. It looks modern designed in dark grey and teal. It came with a smalls kitchen, bedroom, small sitting area and the bathroom.

The bathroom was stocked with really expensive skin care products, hair products, make up, and even curling and straightening irons. The kitchen was also packed full of food. The lady who brought us here said they bought and stocked this room especially for us. This must have cost a Fortune.

I looked in the bath and found a basket with high in shampoos, soaps, bath bombs, lotions, and bubble bath.

I decided to take a bath. I pulled out my lavender and chamomile spice pouch to put in the tub.

Once the tub was full and the right temperature. I placed in my spice bag. I then undressed and climbed in. I needed to think about what I am going to say to Dakota. The last time I saw him he had saved my life. He wanted me to come with him and I told him I had to figure it out alone.

I've been having crazy dreams about him and I being intimate together. I found out he was telling me the truth. I found a book on werewolves in the cabin. I read about mates and I realized he wasn't lying.

I just don't know how to deal with it. He was my first love, then my bully, then my hero, and now he's my soulmate. He's supposed to be my other half but, he made my life hell for so long.

I'm so confused about my feelings. The truth is even after he humiliated me I still wanted him. I was more broken hearted then anything. His rejection broke me.

He told me it was because I embarrassed him. He was embarrassed to be my boyfriend. That hurts so bad. I don't understand what's wrong with me.

I know I talked about the visions I had and told them about the visit I had from my dead adopted father. I know I was different but, did that really make people hate me. I get why supernatural beings hide. Because people reject and hate anything they don't understand.It was cruel. People are cruel. My soulmate was cruel.

How could my life turn out this way? How does one go from working to get in a good college, to working to get an army together? My life is just so insane. I was just a boring antisocial misfit. Now I'm a which on the run for her life.

All I ever wanted was to get out of Ms. Away from the man I loved who refused to love me back. It was just too much. Falling in love with someone who doesn't feel the same. It's torment to see them happy when you're miserable. It's torment to be alone and see them holding onto someone.

All I wanted was to escape him but, our destinies are tied together. I don't know how I am supposed to accept that. How do I just forget all that he's done to me? He is the only boy I have ever wanted. I have never had a crush on any other guy. Somehow without even knowing what a mate is, I knew he was mine.

Now he knows too. Now I can show him how it feels but, I won't. I would never do that to anyone. I would never hurt someone that way. So how can my soulmate live him doing that to me.

I decide I'm not going to be able to relax until I get it over with. I pulled the drain and hopped out of the bath. I grabbed a towel from the shelf and wrapped it around me.

I made my way to my purse and pulled out my phone. I dialed the number. I rang a few times.

"Emily?" Dakota's voice come through the line.

"Yes. It's me. We need to talk." I tell him.

"Thank goodness. I have been worried sick about you. I can't take this anymore Emms. I need to be near you." He tells me.

"Dakota, we are busy starting trying to gather all the supernatural beings to stand against the legion of the sun. I need your help getting werewolves to join." I say getting straight to the point.

"We who? Where are you?" He asks

"I'm in Memphis TN with the vampire king." I answer.

"The vampire king? Emms our kind and vamps hate each other. Getting our people together could be a war on its own." He tells me.

"I have inside information that your kind is next. They've already hit the witches and the shape shifters. They're going to begin wiping out packs." I tell him.

"They already started they hit the blue moon pack last night." He informs me.

" Listen, it's time to put our differences aside and stand against the real enemy."

"Emms I will try." He says

"Koda, I need you to come down here and help us start going over a plan. Jonathan has sent word to Eros and he is going to call queen Odessa. You're our only hope of getting the werewolves to join the fight." I tell him.

"Let me pack a bag and I will head your way." He says.

"Thank you."

"Emms you're my mate I will always be there for you. You need to know that." He tells me.

"I know Dakota. I think I knew before I ever knew what you were or what it meant. I had a vision of us older.we were happy so happy. I fell in love with you and then you broke me. I can't just let it go. I need time. I need us to be able to do what is best for our people. Please just let me have to time." I say desperately.

"I know Emms. I regret it everyday. If you can't accept me . I understand. If you need time to accept me. Just know I will wait forever. You are the only person for me. Since the day you turned 16 I have suffered. Knowing I hurt my mate. The one person I was supposed to love and protect. Emms Im killing myself. All I need is a chance to show you. I love you and will love you til my last breath." He says brokenly and my heart breaks for him.

" Koda, I don't want you to hurt. I don't want pay back. I don't know what I want. My whole life is crashing down around me. I can't deal with it right now. It's too much. My heart can't take anymore right now. I'm so broken and lonely. I don't want to jump into something I might regret." I say through my sobs.

"Shhh baby please don't cry. I know you're having a hard time right now. That's why I want to be there for you. I'm your mate. It's my job to make it better. To love you through it and I know it's hard to believe that. I know I made it hard for you to trust me. I will give you whatever you want. If you need me to be a friend. Fine, but let me be there for you." He tells me.

" I guess I will see you tonight?" I ask him as I try to stop the tears.

" I'll be there. Let me inform my beta and get some stuff together. It may be tomorrow before I arrive. It's a long drive from here Emms."

"Yeah I know. I guess I just really need some sleep I'll let Jonathan know you'll be coming."

" See you soon Emms. Try and get some sleep." He say me before the line died.

I went to the nightstand my bed I picked up the phone and called line 12.

"Hello." Came Jonathan's voice.

"Yes, Alpha Dakota Black will be arriving tomorrow. He has agreed to reach out to other alphas." I inform him.

"Okay, I will let my staff know. Have a good night Ms. Grayson."

"I will thank you so much for everything. Good night."

After that we hung up.
