The Blood Moon Alpha's Mate

Chapter 4

Roman

I jump out her window shifting in the air and landing on my paws. Why would I do that? I should not have come here. I don’t want a mate that stupid mutt must’ve taken control.

Wasn’t me that right there was all you. I told you, you loved her

I do not love her I don’t even know her

You sensed she was in danger and went into full panic mode

Yeah well it won’t happen again I don’t want her and once we figure out how to fix her she’s gone.

I arrived at the pack house 10 minutes later. I should get some work done then go to bed I have to pick her up in the morning and train with the pack it’s going to be a long day. I make my way up to my office and I see Sloan sitting on my desk practically naked legs spread waiting expectantly for me I’d forgot all about her. Sloan’s the pack slut I’ve been sleeping with her for the last couple months. I used to hook up with the unmated she wolves in the pack but a lot of them would get overly attached, start thinking we were a thing or that I would mark them, make them my Luna. After a while I stopped screwing around in general but started again because I have needs and Sloan was easy, she knows with her reputation she’ll never be Luna, but she satisfies me, usually. But, finding Araya today even if I am just going to push her away, I’d rather she didn’t know about my reputation.

“What are you doing here Sloan?” she walks over to me and starts kissing my neck trying to unbutton my pants, but it doesn’t have the same effect that it used to.

“Baby, you don’t remember you asked me to come a couple days ago.” I grab her wrists pulling her hands off me, not hard just strong enough to let her know I’m serious.

“I’m not your baby I’m your alpha no matter what we do in here. Now if I’m asking why you’re here its probably because I want you to go. As you can see, I’m not in the mood.”

I can see the disappointment on her face in the last couple months I’d never once turned her down and she did not like my rejection.

“What’s wrong? I’m sure I can fix it Alpha.” She says trying to be seductive again.

“I don’t want you to fix anything Sloan there’s nothing wrong with me I just don’t want you.” I start to get annoyed with her when she tries to touch me again. I she was starting to piss me off Sloan isn’t usually so needy, and I am not in the mood for her to be acting like she has some claim on me. I shove her back into my desk, stalking over to her I lean down and grab her face in my hands. I say through clenched teeth “Sloan, I don’t want you. All of this is making you look a little desperate, now get out of my sight, before you embarrass yourself anymore.” Her face turns cold somber then without a word she slides off my desk grabs her coat and walks to the door. Before she leaves, she turns her head over her shoulder and says, “You found her, didn’t you.” Her question more of a statement. “I thought you didn’t want a mate.” Her questioning reignited my rage she didn’t have a right to question me I’m the Alpha. But I kept my composure and told her what she needed to hear.

“Not that its any of your business, yes, I found her, and no I still don’t want a mate. I just don’t want you either.” I say walking over to the door where she’s standing her body is tense and her eyes are filled with tears. “Remember I am your Alpha not your boyfriend you’re a quick f**k, an easy lay, you don’t question me.” With that I close the door in her face and walk over to my desk to do some work before heading to bed. When I go to sleep I dream for what feels like the first time in forever about pale brown eyes.

Araya

I wake up early I tossed and turned all night after everything that happened yesterday I was completely on edge I decided to take a shower to wake up my body before class. As I’m getting dressed I smell something I hadn’t in years my moms pancakes. I run downstairs and see her in the kitchen making breakfast my jaw drops open. She turns to look at me and I see her she looks more alive than I’ve seen in years if this is a dream I never wanna wake up I’ve missed my mom so much and when I went to my room last night I was afraid she slip back into her old ways, but here she is in the kitchen making my favorite chcolate chip pancakes.

“Good morning honey.”

“Good morning mom.” I say skeptically still in shock

“you hungry?” she asks while simultaneously making my plate.

“Starving.” I say taking a seat, she sits beside me and we talk and eat breakfast together it all felt so natural and I was happy to have my mom back. WhenI’m done eating I head to school. When I get to campus I see my friend Ryan we’ve been best friends since middle school, he’s gotten me through all my tough times. We tried to date once but ended it so that we wouldn’t ruin our friendship.

“Hey Ray where were you yesterday? We were supposed to study together.”

“I’m sorry Ry pie I totally forgot I had a weird day yesterday.”

“Really what happened? Are you alright?” he immediately becomes concerned Ryan’s always worried abot me and helps any way he can.

“Nothing bad happened my mom apologized to me and it’s like her depressive episode finally ended.”

“That’s great Raya. What brought that on?” I knew I couldn’t tell him about my mate and werewolves and everything that had happened to me yesterday, he’d probably have me committed. So even though I hated to I lied to him.

“I’m not really sure why but I just cracked and confronted her.”

“Well I’m proud of you for finally sticking up for yourself you deserve to be happy”

“Awe Ry Pie I love you.” I say pulling him into a hug.

“Are you ever gonna stop with that nick name its awful.”

“No you’ll always be my Ry pie.”

“Raya you’ll always have me.” He says it looking into my eyes deeply and I swear he means that as more than a friend and my body doesn’t like that as much as it used to instead of the butterflies he used to give me my stomach is in knots.

You won’t want anyone but mate

What why?

He’s the one for you, your body knows it, I know it, the only one who hasn’t caught on is you, you can resist the bond as much

as you want mentally but your heart and soul will crave him.

Ava I don’t want him. Not in heart, mind, or soul.

Lie to yourself all you want, but the moon goddess knows.

The moon goddess?

She’s the one who gave me to you, and us our mate.

Well I hate to say it but think she made a mistake.

The moon goddess doesn’t make mistakes Araya, also your friend is looking at you like you have 2 heads.

“Earth to Raya. Where’d you go?”

“Uh- I was just lost in my thoughts. I should get to class I’ll see you later” he looks ate me concerned and confused, but says okay as I head to class.
