Saving My Mate From The Rogue Alpha

Chapter 3 - Will

“She doesn’t want to talk to you tonight.” My best friend states firmly.

“I can’t just leave it, I need to apologise.” I explain but my pleas fall on deaf ears.

“She won’t come home if you are here. Go up to your suite and wait until the morning. Whatever you have done, I’m sure it won’t seem as bad tomorrow.” Brody says reassuringly but he doesn’t know how much I have f****d everything up.

“I doubt it.” I say irritably.

“You don’t have a choice in the matter, you need to go.” Brody says pushing me towards the door and I let him. I’m not sure I really want to be here in the Beta suite when Beth tells everyone what she saw. Not that it will be a huge surprise to most people. My Casanova ways are well known around the pack, but everyone has noticed a change in me lately, as I have fallen hard for Beth.

I walk out of the suite and up the stairs to the Alpha suite. The home I share with my mum; Luna Michelle and my dad; Alpha Lucas.

“You’re home early.” My dad says as I walk in.

“Yes. Brody didn’t go so I didn’t feel like staying long.” I reply, deliberately not lying, but not revealing the whole truth.

“What about Beth?” My mum asks. No one has been happier about my budding feelings for Beth than my mother. I shrug my shoulders. I can’t admit I f****d it up. Not now.

“I’m tired, I’m going to bed.” I say instead, walking out of the living room and towards my bedroom.

I flop down and lay on my bed staring at the ceiling.

“Im so sorry” I try to mind link to Beth but she has still blocked me. I will apologise every day for the rest of my life if I have to, to get her to forgive me.

I wake up early and head out for a run. Sunday mornings in the pack mean long training sessions for the juniors. Being at school all week we are expected to make up the training time on a weekend with training from 9 until 1. However training with the groups is the last thing I want to do this morning, but I know I won’t get a pass from my dad. A gentle run around the pack might clear my head a bit and warm me up before the sessions begin. I grab a bottle of water from the fridge in the dining hall and leave the pack house by the main entrance. I run the perimeter of our territory and head back. I walk into the dining hall for a light breakfast before training but before I can get anything to eat someone approaches me from behind.

“Hey you dashed off pretty quickly last night. We didn’t get to finish having fun.” A sultry voice says as a hand reaches around and runs over my chest. I turn around to see the beaming face of the she-wolf whose name I still don’t know despite the fact she was on her knees with my d**k in her mouth not 12 hours ago.

“I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be rude but I wasn’t entirely honest last night. I’m not interested in you like that. Not really.” I say trying not to sound like a complete jerk even though I know that I am.

“She saw us you know. She isn’t going to go anywhere near you now, so we may as well have some fun together.”

“I know she saw us, but I’m still not interested.” I say calmly.

“Suit yourself.” She says batting her eyelids at me and biting her lip seductively but thankfully she removes her hand from my chest and backs away. I follow her with my eyes as she walks out of the room until I see Brody walking towards me with a knowing look on his face.

“I now understand why Beth is so upset.” He says despondently.

“I know I f****d up. I just don’t know how to make it right.” I confess.

“It’s not like you and Beth are a couple or anything though is it?” Brody asks.

“I don’t know. I want to be, we just haven’t got there yet.” I reply.

“And it’s not like she hasn’t seen you with other she-wolves before.” Brody reasons. I can’t believe Brody is taking my side. He is my best friend, but Beth is his sister, his twin.

“I know but I wanted everything to be different between us now.”

“All I’m saying is she will get over it soon.”

“I hope so.” I sigh. I really hope so.

We head towards the buffet and grab some food then find a table to sit at.

“How is she this morning?” I ask him hoping to hear that she is a lot less sad today.

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen her.” Brody replies.

“Did she talk to you last night?”

“Nope. She said she was tired but fine. Then locked herself in the bathroom for an hour until we all went to bed.”

During training I look for Beth all over. She isn’t in any of the groups for the warm up, she isn’t on the run and she isn’t partnered with anyone for the sparring. Attendance at training is mandatory so she must have got clearance from either her dad or my dad to not show up. I can’t believe she would tell them about last night, I sincerely hope not, but I don’t know how else she would get out of training.

My dad as the Alpha keeps a careful eye on the training as he wanders around inspecting the groups that are sparring. Me and Brody face off against each other as I grab onto his arm and flip him over my leg onto the floor and pin him down with his arm behind his back.

“Why isn’t Beth at training?” I ask when my dad is close enough to talk to.

“I’m not getting involved in whatever is going on between you two.” He states shaking his head. At least she hasn’t said anything about what she saw. “She asked if she could train away from you and I said she could as long as she gets her hours in today.” He replies.

“Where is she training?” I ask hopefully.

“Away from you. She is avoiding you, take the hint and leave her alone.” My dad states exasperated.

“I need to talk to her.” I say but he turns his back to us and walks away without giving me any information on her whereabouts.

“Come on. It’s 5-3. I need to even the scores up a bit.” Brody says urging me to continue with the sparring contest whilst rubbing his hands together and dusting off imaginary chalk from his hands.

***

Beth has spent all day avoiding me. I haven’t been able to see her, not even at a distance all day. She hasn’t eaten any meals in the dining hall as far as I can tell, and I am running out of places where I can ‘accidentally’ bump into her to talk to her. I have come to the conclusion that she probably hasn’t left her suite at all today and has likely even trained in there too. It’s evening now and Brody is over at Tess’s and her dad, the Beta is in a meeting with my dad. That only leaves Beth and her mum in their suite. I’m pretty sure her mum will let me in and then she won’t be able to avoid me. I would rather not say anything in front of her mum but I have run out of other options so I am taking a chance.

I knock loudly on the door and wait. I hear movement inside the suite and the door opens. I wasn’t expecting Beth herself to open the door but it’s a very pleasant surprise. She leaves the door open and walks inside for me to follow. I step in and close the door behind me. Beth looks tired, she has dark circles around her eyes and the whites of her eyes are bloodshot, but she still looks like the most beautiful she-wolf I have ever seen.

“Everyone is out so we might as well do this now in private. I don’t want anyone to hear what I have to say to you.” She says emotionlessly.

“I’m so sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking. I wasn’t thinking. I don’t want to be with her. I only want you.” I beg but she raises her hands to cut off my apology.

“I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want to hear any excuses. I can’t do this with you anymore. You are not good for me. As much as I love you and care about you. You can’t give me the type of relationship I need. Please just accept it and let me move on with my life.”

“I can’t. I know we are meant to be together. I know that we are fated mates and you will be my Luna one day.”

“No I won’t. If you are the mate the goddess has chosen for me then she has greatly f****d up.” She says as her voice starts to break and tears form in her eyes. I feel tears start to sting in my eyes too and I blink hard trying to will them away.

“Beth, please don’t say that.” I beg.

“It’s the truth. I don’t have anything else to say to you right now, please just leave me alone and close the door after you leave.” She says walking away from me and into the bathroom, locking the door. I stand alone in the living room wondering what to do next. I can’t make this right, I have to give her the time and space that she needs to come around. I walk out of the suite closing the door firmly behind me so she knows I have gone and she can come out of the bathroom without having to see me.
