Alpha Mate Series novel Chapter 13

A month and a half later

Sadie POV:

I have to get out of the house. I've barely been to the back yard since the rouge was caught. Alex is overwhelming, barely leaving my side. I know he's worried, but damn it, I need peace. I haven't seen Lex in over a week and the only reason I get to see Ellie is because she's my brother's mate.

I was sitting with my family at dinner but I didn't engage in any conversation, only looking down, playing with my food. I felt Alex's thumb skim down my cheek, making me look at him. He was so confused, I could see it.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly. I nodded slightly and went back to playing with my food.

"What's wrong baby?" I heard his voice through my head, giving us privacy. "I've been stuck here for almost two months, Alex. Can we please go out? Even to the cafe at least?" I asked him. I felt Alex kiss my cheek. "We'll go later today. I promise. Just you and me." He said. I smiled softly and hugged him, burrying my face in his chest.

"I love you." He said softly. "I love you, too." I replied, before going back to my food.

A few days later:

After weeks of begging, Alex finally let me go to school as long as I always had someone with me. So being the good people they are, Lex and Ellie switched their schedules to have all my classes with me.

We were leaving for lunch when, of course, Emily walked up to me. "Hey, tell Alex I had fun last night." She said making my heart sink. "What?" I asked. "Yeah, while he was working, I stopped by. Let's just say.. He was happy to see me." She told me with a smirk on her face.

Before I could control myself, I slapped her, before leaving the building.

I took my time getting home, crying the entire way. He didn't, did he? He loves me. Right?

Alex's wolf growled twice as loud. "I didn't fucking touch her! I told you when she came, David never let her in the house!" He yelled back.

"What the hell is going on here!" We heard my dad yell as he stormed into the living room. Alex and I turned to him, growling loudly. "I didn't touch her, Sadie!" Alex yelled again. "Then why would she say that?" My wolf yelled. "Are you fucking kidding me?! She said it to fuck with your head! You can't be this stupid!" He yelled in my face.

Sam suddenly stepped in and pushed Alex away from me. "Don't treat my sister that way!" He yelled, his eyes glowing. "Shut up, Sam!" Alex yelled.

"Get out!" My wolf yelled as she shoved him towards the door. "Fine!" He screamed before slamming the door behind him.

My wolf gave me back control and I fell to my knees, sobbing as Sam hugged me close to him.
