I come to, hearing a loud noise to my right that's giving me a headache. Ugh, I hate alarms they ruin everything. I smack my hand over there only to hit something soft that feels a whole lot like hair. I try to open my eyes, but it's like I'm sitting in front of the sun.
I here the noise again, it sounds awfully like a-
I hit him.
"AAAAAHrggg!" He startles awake, making the oddest sound. It's between a growl and a scream and incredibly endearing. Or, I'm mean it would be if he didn't have a girlfriend and lied to me about it. AND since he did it is completely and totally, absolutely un-endearing.
"Ruby? Are you awake?" Hmmm? Do I tell him I'm awake or not? if I pretend I'm asleep he might leave, or he could stay here. But if I wake up it probably means we'll start fighting.
What to do, what to do? Ugh, I hate guys. I knew I wouldn't want a mate.
I hear a whine. Oops, I must of said that out loud. Guess I can't pretend I'm asleep, can I? Sad! I try to open my eyes again, but am blinded, I quickly shut my eyes as hard as I can. Hoping that I don't open my eyes and find out I'm blind. It get pitch black behind my eyelids so I figure Kai notices and decided to do me a favor by closing the curtains or blinds. know it's black behind my eyelids. I squint my eyes then open them fully and lift up my head.
"Ouch!" We say at the same time. Yeah, I did it again. We bonk heads not as hard as last time, but hard enough that my head hurts.
"Not again. Grrrrr! Why can't you just leave me alone?" I whine. "I'm not your favorite chew toy, okay! You can't just play with me whenever you want until you break me!" I say this with so much emotion you'd think I'd have known him all my life instead of just a few days. That's how it is with mates though, as soon as you meet them you become seriously attached so much so that you aren't suppose to want anyone else, but them. Obviously, that's not true, seeing as, as soon as we got here Kai seemed to forget about me.
"I wanted to make sure you were okay." Kai says a bit defeated, with a frown.
I roll my eyes even though on the inside I feel all warm and fluttery. All I want to do is comfort him and never see that frown on his face. I close my eyes trying to repress my instincts. I have to resist, I can't have him walking all over me thinking I won't do anything about.
I glare at him trying grab anger from deep inside where there was none. This just makes me annoyed.
I should be able to be mad at my mate, he lied to me and made me feel horrible. And I only just met him. But I mean this could just be a one time thing and won't happen again!
No.
Ruby,
Just no.
You are a strong independent woman, who needs no man to make you feel get about yourself. You can take care of yourself and your family/pack just fine so you do not need him.
I nod to myself. I know that and I'll just keep repeating it until I can handle being without him. Yes, that's how it'll go.
"Ok, well I'm fine so you can leave." I say in a no arguing tone even though I know he'll argue. How did I know because he's just so damned predictable.
"No."
"Yes!"
"No." He stares me right in the eye and blatantly refuses me. I gotta admit he's got nerve. That I am totally impre- no, I mean unimpressed about. "I refuse to leave my Mate when she's just been injured and compromised." He says this in a gruff tone. Almost like it's barely getting out his throat, and making a giant hole in it as it goes. That would explain why he's refusing me.
He's already dead!
Wait he's dead? No he's not dead I just imagined that. Right? I check his throat just in case and find it perfectly fine without any cuts or bruises or anything on it. I let out a sigh of relief.
Because you know I could be blamed for his death. And I don't want to have to go in front of the council and talk about my dead mate. Okay just stop, stop.
Ruby, deep breath in. Deep breath our. Deep breath in, deep breath out. I repeat this a few time to calm my speeding heart and lay back down to calm myself further. I didn't know I'd get this freaked out over thinking he'd die.
K back to the present.
"Well as your mate and an Alpha I want you to leave and leave me alone. I can't deal with you." I say in a firm voice or what sounds like a firm voice.
"As your mate and your equal I refuse to leave you alone when you mad at me and have just been injured." He states through gritted teeth with his shoulder flexed in a way that shows off his muscled, but not overly so, arms. God he's perfect. I let out a soft sigh before I realize I'm staring at his arms. s**t!
I look up to see a smirk on his face and glare at his face even harder his expression shuts off after that.
"I think your just disappointed you got caught in your lie." I say matter-of-factly. I'm trying my best to control my anger instead of exploding like dynamite, but it doesn't seemed to be working cause I'm shaking and can feel fur start to grow in my hands and legs. I know my eyes will be all wolf if I'm starting my change. I try to calm but then see him and just get angry.
I hear the tear of fabric and see the hospital gown I was wearing on the ground ripped in half next to my wolf.
Then I look up at the asshole whose
My mate and remember that girl all over him and start to growl.

Okay, so I just finished this and I know it's not even a little bit edited but I'll edit it tomorrow.
I think the next chapter should
Be in Kai's POV, what do you think?
Do you think Ruby's being fair to him?
Please comment it encourages me to
Keep writing!
Love,
Lex
