The Alpha's Mate

Chapter Five

He is in his human form still, and he shakes his head at Noah. "Calm down, he doesn't want to fight Noah. He didn't do anything" a louder, deeper growl comes, and I feel a harder nip at my neck.

Some wolves are known to be more territorial, especially if their mate is unmarked. Dominant wolves tend to be a lot more territorial, and when their wolves take over it can be deadly. Sense Noah has the alpha gene, he's more dominant. Which is probably why the jealousy and growling is so extreme right now.

I never thought I'd be the reason for someone to act that way. It's hot but also scary. My wolf seems to think it's really hot, because he pushes forward nipping at Noah's neck.

"We will go, let him go Noah" he gives a slow nod, and Pops makes all the wolves take off for the clearing. Dylan hesitates, because if Noah isn't in control, and he runs? His wolf will take it poorly. And chase. Then attack.

Dylan slowly backs away, and Noah lets a low rumble from his chest. My wolf nips at him again, drawing his attention to me instead of Dylan. Then I hear Dylan take off.

"Cool down, then meet us at the clearing" Pop's voice is hard, and then he's stripping and shifting. Once we hear his footsteps soften, Noah switches completely. One second he's angry and growling, the next he's nipping and licking me. A lot. I feel like a cat being groomed. My wolf just purrs, returning the gesture whenever he can.

I guess we tend to forget that mates are everything to our wolves, and that this time is important. Although we hate each other, it doesn't mean our wolves do. And they need time together too. I wonder how it was for my dads?

'Shift' Noah's deep voice wraps around my mind, pushing through our bond and breaking into our link. Without hesitation, I shift. Then he does, and he's on top of me.

Naked.

"Get off me" I huff , pushing at his chest. His hands wrap around my wrists, pinning them above my head. His eyes are dark, a sign his wolf is on the surface.

"Who is that?" His voice is deep, rough.

"D-dylan" the stutter happens without intention. "He's been my best friend for like 8 years. You've met him like 10 times. At least" my voice hardens, and his body sinks into mine.

"Why are you guys so close?" This question makes my brows furrow.

"You're close with Layla, aren't you?"

"I'm not attracted to Layla"

"You were supposed to be mates" I snapped, and his eyes flicked between mine.

"I'm gay" he says after a moment.

"Well yeah, you are now. But before-"

"I've always been gay" he cuts me off, and my throat clenches. Always?

"Why didn't you tell me?" I snapped.

"Because all of us gays have to share it with each other?" he scuffs, finally releasing me, standing and slipping on gym shorts once he's on his feet. He throws me a pair, and I slip them on. "Not all of us have it easy" he snaps, as he starts pacing.

A rough laugh escapes me. "You think I had it easy, Noah?" pushing to my feet, I stalk over to him. "I was an openly gay kid, with two fuckings dads. I got made fun of by everyone. I got called names by everyone. Wolf, human, old friends ''I scoff, shaking my head "I kissed a boy at a party, and got called names for a week. A week straight Noah. So i didnt have it fucking easy"

"At least you could be yourself!" he practically roars, stepping into my space. "I had to fucking hide. I couldn't come out to my parents, because I'm expected to have an heir, and a Luna. And in case you didn't realize, I need a female for that. Not you!"

His voice is harsh, and it makes me flinch. My heart sinks for a moment, and my voice is quiet when I say, "I have two dads, Noah. My dad got pregnant. Three times. You were never expected to be with a woman. You put that on yourself." I take a step back. "Sense it's so obvious that you don't want me, then dont be with me" another step "I won't reject you, but it doesn't mean we have to be together"

You won't ever fully be happy if you don't give it a real chance.

Please please please say something-

"Okay" Noah nods, and my wolf cries in agony, but I just nod. Walking off, I head towards the pack house, as a piece of me breaks. And I don't know if I'll ever be able to fix it.

I didn't leave my bedroom for three days after that.
