Royal Alpha Emerald

CHAPTER 5

~EMERALD~

I did not sleep at all last night. Even though we found the rogue who helped my mate escape, I could not sleep. It is like I am scared of him running away again. I lay on my bed and I try to sleep but sleep won't come to me. 

I get up and go to room next to me in which my passed out mate is. I try to be as quiet as possible. I open the door and I find my mate sleeping peacefully. The moon was shinning very brightly today and the moonlight coming from the window is the only source of light in the room and I can see his features. I hear him stir in bed and I come out of my stance and i remember that I am in his room. 

I get out and press my back against the door trying to breathe as I was about to get caught. What is happening to me? I have never lost control like this and no one has had an effect like this on me. I know I face the fact that he is my mate one day but why now? I can't do it. I can't accept him. I just can't. I need to reject him and fast before the mate bond deepens. 

I go and try to get as much sleep as I can before the rejection even though I know he will be in mind all night. 

'Don't reject him please' my wolf whispers softly and I block her out as a single tear betrays me and falls softly down my face. Why am I crying I don't even know him. I wipe them and just lay trying not to think abou tomorrow and hoping everything goes by plan even if it breaks me. 

It is finally morning and the hours felt like months. I get up and dress into my gym clothes as I want to run a bit before everything goes down. I pass down my mate's room and fight the urge to go inside. I put a straight as I head down. I see my beta in the kitchen and he says something which as I pass through but I brush it aside as ignore him only focusing on going for a run. 

I think he got the message that I want space as he did not follow me. As soon as I reach a large tree I hide behind it and strip my clothes and I shift. I give my wolf control and we run though the trees in a swift. The wind is moving in the opposite direction of us and we slice through it. As I am the Alpha my wolf is bigger than all the members in the pack. 

I run for about an hour and then I come back to the tree where i left my clothes. I shift and quickly get dressed. 

As I walk towards the pack house my heart starts beating fast. I enter the house and find no one. I head up and I stand in front of my mate's room. I can smell his intoxicating smell and from the noises coming from inside I can figure out that he is fully awake. I put my hand on the door knob and twist it slowly. Well let's hope everything goes according to plan. 

I see my mate laying on the bed with his one hand handcuffed to the bed. He sits up straight and stares at me. "Well look who's here, The mighty Alpha" he taunts which makes me growl. Why is he making it so hard. "Can you remove these-" he starts but stops as he finds me snarling at him. "-or do you have something else in mind" he says smirking and it makes my heart skip a beat of the idea of us mating. 

"Shut up" I say as I quickly recover from my inappropriate thoughts. 

"Come on! You are no fun" he says whining. "Why are you even here?" 

"I-I am here to umm-"i try to say but the words just don't come out of mouth and he finishes my sentence "-to reject me". I can see a lot of emotions in his eyes. Hurt, anger, rejection all these emotions evident on his face but he masks it fast. 

"Yes" I say and I try to break the eye contact as it was too much to bear. 

"Then why don't you get over with it" he says challenging me to say the words. 

I open my mouth to say something but no words come out. Get your s**t together Emerald I say to myself. "I Emerald Richardson Alpha of Werewolves reject you Jas-Jasper-" I sigh in defeat. I can't reject him. I turn around and place my hands on the door trying to process what to do next. 

"Listen, I know you hate me and you want to reject me so why don't you just let me go with my pack and you will never see me again" as soon as those words come out of his mouth a deep growl escapes my throat. 

I turn to face and I walk towards him. He straightens up as he sees me walking towards him. I bend a bit so now our faces are inches away. He looks a but shocked from my sudden movements. 

"Listen and listen carefully, under no circumstances I am going to let you go. You will stay here for the rest of your life. Are we clear?" I say in my Alpha tone as my wolf tries to take over. He gulps and he nods. "Good" I say. I reach for my back pocket and I take out a single key. I reach over to his handcuffed hands and uncuff him. He takes his hand and massages his wrist with an irritated face. 

I stand straight totally missing the closeness of my mate. "You can shower and get dressed. There are some spare clothes in the closet. A person will come after you are done and then we have business to do" I say smirking as I head out to have a cold shower.
