Fated To The Alpha novel Chapter 8

I watched my mate leave, completely unaware I was her mate. I knew her family was hiding something, something I was eager to find out. If she wasn’t my mate, I may have reconsidered letting them into the pack. Something was amiss though they left the 2nd strongest pack, a pack her parents were born in. When I got the request I was a little shocked but also blinded by the fact that I could take them from Jackson. Our feud goes back generations so given the opportunity I took it.

His Beta was well respected and so was his mate, yet I never heard he had a child and it made me curious as to why she was a secret. I could smell she was strong, her genes strong but something was off with her too.

“She is your mate, isn’t she?” My Beta Mateo asks. He was my best friend since we were old enough to walk, always stuck by me and me, him.

I sigh no point lying to him, he knows me better than I know myself half the time.

“Yes and until she realises I want to keep it quiet” I tell him and he nods his eyes sparkling with mischief.

“What?” I demand as he folds his arms across his chest and leans back.

“Nothing now I know why you refused to come to the whore house with me, she already got you whipped and she doesn’t even know who you are to her” he says chuckling. I glare at him.

“I am not whipped”

“Whatever man, then why did you knock back Madeline. I saw her running from your room the other night crying” he says.

“She isn’t my mate” I deadpan.

“Never stopped you before”

“Yeah before I found her, I only want her now. You will understand when you find yours” I tell him.

“So what’s your plan then, keep giving her detention?” He says with a laugh.

“Well you ruined that didn’t you, I was hoping to spend time with her” I tell him annoyed that he lingered when he could clearly see I wanted to be alone with her.

“Why didn’t you command her parents to tell you why they really left”

“Because I don’t want to P!ss her parents off, they have influence over her and she trusts them. If I start off arguing with them, she will hate me” I tell him and he sighs.

“Well what now then?”

“I don’t know, I don’t really have a reason to hang around her without looking like a creep” I tell him. Mateo seems to think for a second.

“Thursday night?” He says.

“Pack run is friday after school, most of the Pack kids choose to stay at the packhouse”

“I excused them for the first week” I tell him.
