2025-03-03 23:00:37I’m jolted awake by the sound of a car in the morning, feeling absolutely out of it. My eyelids felt heavy, and my mouth felt full of cotton. I looked at my phone to check the time, and it was around 6 o’clock; not much time had passed since I fell back asleep out of exhaustion from my episode.
I heard the car door slam and realized that it was coming from the driveway, so I got out of bed and went to the window to see who that was.It was Dameon. He walked up to the house like someone with a purpose, his face serious like something was wrong. His eyes were glowing, like when I first saw his wolf in the woods.Curious, I left my room to the hall and stood at the top of the stairway, the shadows covering me. His knocks resounded, and sure enough, a tired-looking Ralph went to open the door. I tip-toed down the stairs to eavesdrop on their conversation from a spot where they couldn’t see me.“ Dameon?” Ralph asks, confused. Why are you here? It's the weekend, and you d

The Alpha's mate chapter 13
The next morning, I made up my mind to get out of bed and go to school, no longer moping around in my room. I was only making it worse by staying in my room all day with no social interaction.As I got ready, pulling on some black skinny jeans, my mind replayed the event of yesterday. How Dameon got so close to my face, his dark brows furrowed in some emotion I couldn’t place. He wasn’t acting like his usual self. Had he really been… concerned about me?I knew I was being stupid for even considering that. There was no way he would care for me. But when I remembered how it felt to be in his hands, how safe I felt against his chest, I wished it was true.But those are just silly thoughts. My friends were crazy enough to see him as a romantic prospect for me but I’m certainly not. I did my best to shake the thoughts of Dameon from my mind grab my bag and go downstairs.Ralph was kind enough to drive me to school today which I was really grateful for. I didn’t want to fa

Willow povAfter getting a lecture from Lia about the importance of keeping your phones on and about communication, I head to my first class. It was algebra, so it kind of sucks, but we just had to do a simple worksheet, so I just tried to get it done as quickly as possible. As I was finishing up with the last problem, I felt like someone was watching me so I looked up just to find a guy who was sitting a couple of decks away from me looking at me. When he saw that I had caught him, he quickly flashed me a sheepish smile, showing his perfectly aligned white teeth.I smiled back shyly, blushing a bit because he’s pretty cute. He has curly brown hair and caramel skin, and soft grey eyes ringed with long dark eyes. I don’t know why he was looking at me, but it was a nice change because attractive guys usually treat me like I was invincible, or like I’m an annoyance, in Dameon’s case. Gosh, did I just admit that Dameon is attractive.?Anyway, I think the guy's name is J

The bell interrupted my thoughts. I grab my things and walked out of the class to the hallway. I hate the hallways. The chatter of students is really overwhelmimg and people always bump into each other.“ Um, hey,” I hear someone say behind me, but I paid no heed to it because its was probably someone passing by who was talking to their friend.“Hi? Willow?” the voice continues, and I turned back and looked up with wide eyes at the alpha who approached me“ oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you were talking to me!” I say, my cheeks burning up.Jake chuckles, looking kind of embarrassed as well. “No worries. You probably didn’t expect me to talk to you suddenly,”“it’s fine,” I smiled with reassurance. “What’s…up?” I felt kindof awkward. I didn’t want to make a bad impression to a popular guy, in case he choose to target me like Adam does.‘’ you must have noticed me staring at you earlier in class. I-I wasn’t trying to be weird or anything, I was just cu

I waited at the pick-off area after watching Lia and Brianna leave; I kept a lookout for Ralph's grey car. But instead, I see Dameon's sleek black car pulling up behind me. I get in, looking confused. “I thought Ralph was going to pick me up”?“ He’s busy with pack duties”“Okay,” we sit in awkward silence. I didn’t know what to say to him after what happened the last time we met. As I was trying to think of what to say, I spotted a bloody gash on his arms“ Oh my God, Dameon! You’re bleeding!” I gasp at the sight as I cover my mouth. The sight of blood made me nauseous.“ Thanks for letting me know; I had no idea,” he replied sarcastically as he droves, looking unfazed by his injury.“ How can you drive with that, aren’t you in pain”“ I had no idea that getting a little injury made someone an invalid”“ That not a little injury! Oh, that looks bad. We need to, we need to—” I grasp the dashboard, feeling a wave of nausea pass over me. I close my eyes shut, trying to stop my lunch fr

He smirks. “ can see the little gears in that pretty head of yours, but don’t worry I don’t think you’re the reason behind it,” I blush at his remarks. “ why? You don’t still think I’m a spy?” He shakes his head in amusement. “ No, you are just too naïve to be a spy” “ what?!” I cross my hand and pout in defense. “ I’m not that naïve” “ yes, you are. You fall to easily when people tease you.” “gosh, you are just like this Alpha at my school.” That seemed to catch his attention. “ An Alpha?” he asks his expression darkening I consider whether or not to tell him the event of the day but decided to anyway. “well, he said he wanted to be friend with me. Then tricks me that I had his name wrong. And he said it was because I was to fun to tease.” Dameon looked shocked, rubbing a hand over his face. “ seriously, I cant believe you. You are definitely too naïve” “ And you are definitely wrong”

Chapter 18What I did expect was the uncomfortable silence that followed after I spoke. Dameon looks at the cup in his arms with a plank expression as Lucien looks from his son to me worriedly.“That’s great, Willow.” Ralph says, “ I guess you are at that age now where you want to know more about nature.”“ what do you guys know about mates?” I hoped I had not overstepped. I don’t know why they’re acting like this. Did I say something wrong?.Ralph looks at me hesitantly, glancing at Dameon who didn’t look too happy. “ well mates_”“ mates are a complete sham,” he interjects, scowling,” a stupid waste of time to spend dreaming about”I felt something break inside me as soon as the words left his mouth like I was hoping that he would say anything else but that.“ Dameon,” Ralph said with a warning in his voice“ what? It's not a lie” he continues unfazed by his father’s glare. “ but I guess someone who spends their time with their head in the cloud wouldn’t understand” he continues sta

Chapter 19The next day and the next day after, Dameon and I gave each other the silent treatment. When he was driving me to school or back, I always kept my head. And when we did talk, his voice was cold and emotionless. More than being angry, it made me really sad.I know that I brought up something he didn’t like but do I really deserve this? I wasn’t trying to offend him, I was just curious. He was the one who lashed out and, in turn, made me lash out. I was getting tired of him acting like this after a few days of it.It was the same as usual this morning as he was driving to school. I was surprised he was still taking me to school. His relationship with Ralp was rocky b, but I guess he won't disobey him to a degree.As I was still receiving the cold shoulder, I found myself signing multiple times, and I could tell that it was getting on his nerves,s, so I kept doing it. It was not long before he finally snapped.“ what fucking is it”?” he snarls, turning to

Hey, watch your mouth, bitch,” Adam snaps. “ and pick up that pencil for me,” he says, pointing to the yellow pencil he just dropped.“What?” I looked at him like he had lost his mind.“ I said pick it up” he demandsI almost laugh at the audacity of his request. I summoned all the courage in me for my response, taking Lia's advice to stand up for oneself, and I was tired of taking his shit any longer.“ No.”He raises his eyebrows in shock, surprised that someone disobeyed him. “ what did you just say to me?”“ I said no! I didn’t stutter,” I said, glaring at him. Then I flip him off.I was shaking as adrenaline coursed through me, the only that was powering me at that point. I couldn’t believe that I stood up to Adam. I had never flipped someone off like that in all my years of living.The barely restrained rage on his face made me realize that I had made a grave mistake,I rushed out of class as soon as the bell rang. I managed to see my friend

The Alpha's mate chapter 75
The second we got through the door after he picked me up from school, Dameon was on me, his lips crushed against mine, and I melted into it, clutching his shirt tightly in my fists and standing on my very tiptoes because he was so tall, and I was eager for more of the kiss. He saw my struggle and leaned down, hooking his hands under my thighs and picking me up, bringing me to his waist as I wrapped my legs around his torso, hooking my hands around his neck. We were pressed tightly together like this, chest to chest."Much better," he said, "Can feel all of you on me,"I blushed, and then he was kissing me again, hard and deep, as I lost myself in it, tangling my hands in his hair. I loved how he was holding me like I weighed nothing, how his large hands groped my thighs as he kept my body propped up in his hold.I barely registered how he walked up the stairs to my room, pushed the door open with his leg throwing me down on the bed, climbing on top of me. My stomach flipped in antici

I gave Dameon a kiss on his cheek before I got out of the car, waving at him happily before I walked in the gates. I headed off to my first period skipping happily down the hall, a contrast to yesterday. My classmates were going to get whiplash from my mood swings, I swear.When I got to Math, I saw that Jake had moved his seat back to mine. That was a relief. That meant that our 'making-up" held merit. And that we could still be friends."Someone's in a good mood," he remarked as I sat down next to him, not able to wipe the beaming smile off my face."I just uh, had a really good breakfast!"I don't want to bring up Dameon again and make things weird."Sure,"He sounded kind of sarcastic and my smile dropped a little bit. He immediately sees this, and an apologetic look comes to his face. "Shoot. Sorry. I am working on not being salty about it "not being salty about it,"The 'it' he referred to must be my relationship with Dameon. "It's okay," I reassured him. I didn't want to fight

"What do you think?" He asked me. I thought, since this guy is one of Dameon's work colleagues, I wanted to be friendly. "It's pretty. I really love the color," "I was right, eh," he lightly pats the seat of it, "Pretty things like pretty things, don't they?" I laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Was he calling me a thing? "I can take you out on it if you want. It's up and running," he suddenly suggested. "I d-don't think-" "Come on. I would take you for a wild ride, sweetie. You would love it," "Um," I looked over to the door where Dameon disappeared through. When was he coming back? "You don't fancy an old man like me? That it?" he raised a bushy eyebrow. Both his eyebrows look like furry caterpillars and combined with him staring at me expectantly. It gave me the urge to laugh. I couldn't help it, I started giggling, trying to muffle it with a hand over my mouth. I don't know why, but something about the situation Was just so funny. "Aw, don't be like that, swe

I woke up with a startled gasp, looking around to check where I was. Was he here? Was he going to hurt me? I was nearly hyperventilating, grasping the sheets as I tried to remember where I was. The room was quiet. The sound of soft breathing comes from beside me, and I look to see Dameon with his hair all messed up from the pillows, sleeping peacefully. Thank god I didn't wake him up.The sight of him filled me with some relief, but my heart was still beating a mile a minute. This often happens when I wake from night terrors like this--my body is still stuck in the dream, and the anxiety doesn't go away for a while. But why have I been having so many lately? It is really draining.In this one, my stepfather was holding me down as he pressed his knee down on my chest cavity. Any harder and he would've broken my rib cage. The hot ash from his cigar was raining down on my face, stinging my cheeks.My stomach still felt queasy; I quietly sneaked off the bed, gently moving Dameon's hands,

I blushed, my heart feeling warm at the affection in his voice. His being so sweet to me sometimes feels like a dream. I remember When I first got here, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. He was so cold and mean. It was so hard to imagine that, at that time, all I was to him was "Dark Moon trash." I was Glad that I'm "shortcake" to him now instead. He got up to go change again, and I dismissed my disappointment when he walked back out in a shirt and pants. I hoped at least that he'd go shirtless. "Are you staying over? What about Ralph?" I asked. Ralph still doesn't know about our relationship, at least to my knowledge. "He's not coming back tonight. He would be at midnight packed for a few days. Didn't he tell you?" Oh. I do faintly recall him saying something about that, but I must have been too occupied with being depressed to remember. At my intuitive expression, He ruffles my hair, climbing on the bed with me. "Come h

I played with my phone absent-mindedly as I waited for Dameon, as he had gone to freshen up. I had calmed down already, and my tears had finally stopped. I was honestly still reeling from everything he had told me. It explained so much. Why he was so touchy about mates. About Tai. Now that I knew the reason behind why he snapped at me, it hurt so much less now.And the fact that he trusted me enough to open up to me felt pretty great. That he sees me as valid, and respects and cares about my opinion of him. It made me feel like we had passed a big milestone together.I hummed softly to myself, adjusting the screen brightness of my phone when a message popped up on my screen. My Stomach drops. It was from Brianna. Her last text to me was a happy birthday wish, not a single one since that. Until now.Brianna Brianna:Why were you at my house?Shit. How do I reply to that? Yes, I was, but I accidentally saw that you defamed a picture of me, so I left. Which was wh

The flashback has ended. Back to the present time.The pain of losing his mate was too much for Ralph to bear. He fell into depression. And every time I had to look at the broken shell of the man who used to be the proud Alpha of our pack, guilt overtook me. It was all I could feel sometimes. Watching him mourn her was just as painful as my own mourning. It was a reminder that I took away what he loved most in the world. His mate. His Luna.After that, I became strong. Puberty hit me like a train and I sprouted up. I worked out. Got into fights. I just wanted to be invincible. I felt like it could make up for how weak and helpless I had been as I watched that alpha kill her.I don't want a mate, either. After seeing what both Ralph and my biological mom went through because of their mates, I swore I would never claim mine. Because they could get hurt and die in the blink of an eye when you aren't there to protect them. And I don't want to ever feel the pain of losing someone I loved

The Flashback continues She jolted, scrambling out over the blanket. She grabbed her gun and slipped it into her boots before turning to me."I need you to stay here," she whispered. My heart beat erratically, fear consumed me. "Mom! You can't go!" "I have to protect you," "But y-you're not an alpha like the others or dad! Don't fight," She smiled at me sadly. "How little faith you have in me. I know how to use a gun, Dameon," I shook my head. "No! Don't go!" She kissed me on the head. "I love you forever," she said. I watched as she left our makeshift tent, cooking her gun. I don't plan on staying here. I have to go after her. I have to protect mom. I grabbed my a little knife that Dad had given me for my 10th birthday. Mom had been so mad when She saw what the present was. He told her, "Tia, the alpha's son needs to know how to fight!" She ignored him, then whacked him over the head with a spatula. I still got to keep the knife,e though, as long as I promised to be s

The flashback into Dameon's past. It will switch between him telling it and the flashback. "Tia and Ralph aren't my biological parents. My real parents were both rogues. They had been banished from their pack and wandered across the country searching for a place where we could start anew. But they caught a deadly infection. The Disease killed them slowly. I didn't catch it, I don't know why, but it did not affect me. I had no idea what was going on. I was only 5. And, I don't even know how I remember this, but my mom sat me down one day..." Mama had tears in her eyes. She has been looking sad these days. "Look what your father did to us. We're rotting all alone out here. Can you believe it? My own mate got us banished from my pack." She said stuff like this a lot. I don't think she loves papa. "Listen here, baby. All mates are good for heartache and pain," Mama tells me. I nodded, I hope I Don't have a mate if they make you cry like this. "Not long after that, my parents di
