Alpha Mate

No.18

Alex’s POV

It’s been over a week since we caught the rouge. I didn’t care enough to get the mutts name. Every time I went to question him, he would taunt me and demand to see Tammy. I came close to killing him at one point when he started telling me all the things he wanted to do to her. I would have if David hadn’t come in to stop me. As much as I wanted to kill him, we still needed answer from him. It’s late and I’m exhausted. We’ve had so much s**t happening in the pack, I’ve been in my office trying to get it all taken care of. Tammy had already been in bed when I got back so I didn’t get to spend any time with her. I haven’t even gotten to talk to her in a day and a half. It was killing me.

Being a Luna on top of a student, she’s been busy as well. She’s started helping me train my warriors which is a huge load off of me. She’s a damn good fighter and an amazing teacher. She pushes the wolves to their limit some days, but it’s only because the threat has been so high. A rival pack has declared war for the death of one of their own in my land which wasn’t our fault. After she held her own against the wolves, I have no doubt she can hold her own this time as well. I knew she was brave, but when I saw her jump to attack the thing she is most afraid of without hesitation, I knew we could count on her.

After a few more excruciating hours of work there was a small knock on the door. “Come in.” I called out. A girl I hadn’t spoken to in goddess knows how long walked in. “Milly? What are you doing here?” I asked confused. She bit her lip lightly and I knew where it was going. Milly was the first girl I had ever been with. I used to be in love with her, but she was unfaithful. I caught her one night with David’s younger brother and ended it immediately. “I’ve been thinking about you, Alex.” She said. Not this again. I just got rid of one slut now here comes another?

“Milly, you know I have a mate and you know how I feel about her.” I said. “Don’t you love me anymore?” She asked. I sighed standing up. “Milly, I moved on years ago, okay? Now I have my mate. One girl tried to ruin it. Please, leave it alone.” I told her. “Alex, please. I made a mistake.” She said. I’ll give her one thing, she hasn’t touched me since she walked in, nor has she tried. “Please leave, Milly.” I told her. Her eyes started to tear up, but she complied. “Yes, Alpha.” She whispered before leaving. I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. I know the poor girl still has feelings for me. Even though she made small advances she never tried to make a real move. She’ll understand once she finds her mate.

“Hello Luna.” I heard her say with her voice cracking slightly. “Milly, are you okay?” I heard through the door. “Yes, Luna. I’m fine. I think Alex is in his office. I saw him walk in a couple hours ago.” “Thank you Milly.”

Tammy’s POV

“Milly, are you sure you’re okay?” I asked her. She only nodded sadly and walked away. When I walked in, Alex gave me a smile. “Hi, beautiful.” He said and kissed me. “What’s up with Milly?” I asked him, worriedly. She was a sweet girl and I didn’t like seeing her that way. Alex sighed and sat down. “She came in the office just before you got here. I should tell you something about her. The two of us have somewhat of a history.” He said. I began to panic slightly. It is Emily all over again? “She was my first girlfriend. I was in love with her but she had been cheating on me for months with David’s younger brother.” He continued. I was getting more and more worried about where this was going.

“She came in here, told me she missed me and still loved me. She never made a move to touch me, or over react. She simply told me how she felt. When i told her I was devoted to you, she backed off.” He finally finished. I’m upset with this news but I respect her for the way she handled it. “I’m not mad, Alex.” I told him. He looked at me surprised. “You’re not?” He asked. “I’m upset, sure but i know you love me and I’m glad that Milly respected your decision.” I told him. “She really is a nice girl, baby. She knows her place and I really don’t think she will try it again.” He said. “I know.”
