Love Me Alpha

Chapter 34

“They are overreacting, it is a simple side effect that is occurring due to them being unable to phase” Adrian stated calmly, Rebecca’s eyes flashing with anger but she managed to keep it controlled.

“They are my children, can you please revoke the alpha order?” she stated in a harsh but controlled tone. However, even I could tell that she was still utterly terrified and it made me even gladder that I was Adrian’s mate so his anger wasn’t directed at me.

“No” was all Adrian stated flatly, my own features twisting into a cringe when I took note of how suddenly hostile the elder woman looked.

“How dare you! They are my children and you are causing them pain” she spoke tightly, Adrian’s only response a shrug after I had relaxed him from his tense posture by running my hand up and down his thigh soothingly.

“The answer is still no!” he snapped out as a reply, my hand tightening briefly on his thigh causing the tremors which had shot through his body to calm. I found I loved having such an effect on his emotions.

“Why?” she shouted; finally losing it.

I could understand where she was coming from of course, her children weren’t happy so neither was she. I doubted she realised how lenient he had been on the pair though; especially when I had felt how much anger and fury had been directed towards them.

“I would watch your tone when speaking to me, I am still your alpha!” he growled, his tone tight making her flinch much to my discomfort.

“And yet you are punishing my children for nothing!” she growled, my form shrinking back into the couch. I had grown up being shouted and screamed at constantly, but after living in such a peaceful pack house for so long I couldn’t help but want to shy away from it. It brought back memories I had been trying desperately to shove back into the back of my mind.

Obviously sensing my distress, Adrian’s eyes snapping towards my shunning form I couldn’t help but be stunned with the sudden fury displayed there. His pupils blending into his wolfs as he let loose a growl that caused everyone in the pack house, expect me, to flinch heavily at the deep and threatening sound of it.

Snapping his head in Rebecca’s direction his eyes narrowed, fear practically suffocating the room as Adrian was hurriedly on his feet as he grabbed her by her upper arm. I could thankfully tell that while his grip was firm he wasn’t hurting her; not yet anyway.

“How dare you come into my pack house, interrupt my day and then insult my judgement. If you must know your children are insolent, foulmouthed and ill-mannered. You should be relieved that I have only prevented them from phasing, as it is in my right to a hell of a lot more for that girl of yours making my mate uncomfortable and your son for daring to even flirt with her!” Adrian pretty much roared at her, my feel carrying me after them but I kept my distance.

“But…I…”

“There is no buts, another alpha would have most likely banished them or at least given them a physical punishment. I had been lenient on them; do I need to change my judgement call?” he snapped at her, his hand reaching for the front door as he opened it and pretty much dragged the woman outside.

I think it was at that moment that Rebecca realised just how soft he had been on her children, how even though he was considered a ruthless alpha he was also more than a little fair. I think that was what made her pale, as well as his harsh words and attitude of course.

“Well…do I?”

“No, no I’m sorry” she whispered out, Adrian releasing her roughly as he did so.

I watched along with my mate as I let my gaze follow the older woman as she dashed back to her car, her cheeks wet with her tears and I knew it wouldn’t be long until her mate came after her.

Watching her go I couldn’t help but feel bad for her, my arms moving to wrap around my form as her car pulled rapidly out of the drive. I didn’t know why but I felt my heart clench at the whole experience, how she had acted as a mother should by trying to protect her children. Hell my own mother was nothing of the sort, she had even stabbed me once in the thigh with a knife when I was still a toddler since apparently I wouldn’t stop crying. It wasn’t hard to be surprised that I was in tears in the first place; not when I had to grow up in a place like that.

“You alright, sweetheart?” a nervous and concerned Adrian enquired, effectively snapping me out of my thoughts causing m to sigh.

“Yea” I breathed out, shuffling a few steps closer to him as I wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my nose in his chest. I instantly felt myself relax; breathing in deeply as I let my wolf be purred by the scent of our mate.

This is where we belong, I told my wolf. This was where we would be kept safe, be loved and I wanted to be nowhere else but right here, right now. He was my everything.

(Sorry for the shortness of it but I did intend to put it up yesterday but I simply didn’t have the time. Anyway let me know what you thought; oh and thanks to everyone who has been sending me covers and banners since I love them.)
