All Chapters of The Alpha's mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I’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

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

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

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

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
