Chapter Fifty-Four
What?
That was not what I expected her to say, I don't know what I thought she would say but it definitely wasn't this. As usual Rachel watched me carefully and closely, observing my facial expressions and body movement.
"Whose mate?" She thought I was someone's mate? She thinks a werewolf believes I'm his soulmate? I haven't even had any actual interaction with any werewolves here expect for Alpha Alessandro and Teresa.
"Alpha Alessandro."
My heart stopped beating for a second before it began to race so fast and so loud that I was positive she could hear my heart too.
"What?" I gasped the word out.
Alpha Alessandro? She thinks I'm his mate?
Rachel nodded. "Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind."
A high pitch giggle filled the room and it took me a second to realise the sound was coming from me. "Alpha Alessandro?" My giggles began to turn into laughs. "You think I'm his mate?"
Annoyance filled Rachel's eyes, seeping into her face but I couldn't stop laughing at the absurd words she had said. The more I thought about it the more it made me laugh, maybe I was finally losing it but I couldn't stop laughing.
How could I be Alpha Alessandro's mate?
I'm not the only one losing it, Rachel must be too if she thinks I'm his mate.
"It's not that funny, you can stop laughing."
"I'm sorry." I held my hand up in mock surrender as I continued laughing. "It's just me and Alpha Alessandro, the idea that we're...we're mates is just plain crazy."
Rachel did not like my comment and anger flashed in her eyes before it went blank. "I'm not crazy and I'm not the only one who thinks that."
Then anyone else who thinks that is crazy too.
"If you guys knew what happened between us." I said in between my laughs. "You definitely would not think we're mates."
"What's happened between you two?" Rachel asked casually.
My laughter stopped as I thought about his words, his threats and the times he had actually hurt me.
There was no way I could be his mate, right?
"He.." I paused slightly before changing my mind on my answer. "I'm a prisoner here, trust me I'm not his mate."
"A prisoner huh?" Rachel questioned sarcastically. "I wonder how Alpha Alessandro would react if I hurt myself, I don't think I would get the same reaction."
"I didn't hurt myself." I snapped, tired of her ridiculous questioning. "He hurt me, I was bleeding because of him."
"Okay." Rachel muttered. "What would you like to eat?"
The question threw me off and I blinked a couple of times. "What?"
"What do you want the chef to make? Lisa told me my role is now to look after you until you're well."
"I'm not hungry. Why do you need to 'look after' me?"
Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Alpha's orders I guess." She was giving me the knowing look again as if to say she's right and I'm wrong. "Are you always this difficult? Don't make my job harder than it is, choose something to eat."
Even though I wasn't hungry I decided to pick something. "A chip butty please."
Rachel gave me a look that said 'seriously?' before bowing slightly. "Your wish is my command."
I rolled my eyes before calling her, stopping her in her tracks. "Rachel? Can you get me a phone please?"
Though she was confused about the request she nodded.
"Oh, and some shoes please."
"Anything else princess?"
I shook my head, regretting it the instant that I did. I watched as she left the room quickly and got up into a sitting position. With Rachel gone I began to think about what she had said.
It was crazy, she was crazy. There was no way I was Alpha Alessandro's mate. I didn't have much information on mates but I was pretty sure Werewolves would do anything for their mates and had this sick obsession with them.
As I was telling myself how delusional Rachel was, doubt began to seep into my head. Maybe I hit my head too hard because I started to entertain that idea. Could I be Alpha Alessandro's mate?
He hates humans, he has made that every clear from the beginning and it was common knowledge that he did. Perhaps the idea of a human mate after hating humans for so long made him not react in the same way a normal Werewolf would do if they met their mate?
He acted so strangely around me and though he was pissed off when he found out his cousin was dead he seemed more concerned about what his cousin allegedly did to me. He was angry at his cousin instead of me, he got me a therapist to help me with my trauma and hadn't killed me or Cami- yet.
Rachel was right, if this was any other human they would have been dead already yet here I am. Granted I'm bruised and not exactly healthy and happy but I was still alive.
Am I Alpha Alessandro's mate?
He wasn't the only one acting strange, my reaction to him was very strange too. I was scared of him, however, I was not as scared as I should be. I was petrified of him before I had met him but after I did meet him that fear wasn't as strong anymore. I was saying things I never thought I would ever say to an Alpha and my body was reacting to him in ways I couldn't explain or understand.
Could it be possible?
How could it be possible?
He's an Alpha and I'm just a human. Yes werewolves did have human mates but what are the chances of a human hating Alpha having a human mate?
A humourless laugh escaped my lips, it would just be my luck for it to be Alpha Alessandro and the poor unlucky human to be me.
"You sound like you've lost it. Maybe the doctor should check your head again?" Rachel's voice filled the room. She was carrying a plate on one hand and a bag in the other.
Handing me both the plate and the bag, I put the plate on the bed and opened up the carrier bag. It contained my socks and shoes so I slipped them on. I also checked the bag for a phone but nothing else was inside it. "What about a phone?"
"I was told that you are not allowed a phone?"
She couldn't be serious? Resisting the urge to scream, I asked her a different question. "How do I find out if someone is my mate?"
A small smile emerged on Rachel's face. "So you believe me now?"
"No." I told her truthfully. "I'm just curious."
"Uh-huh." Rachel muttered, sounding like she didn't believe me.
"So are you going to help me or not?" I asked as I took a large bite into the butty.
Rachel nodded. "I'll help you. You have to do something drastic and if he is your mate, he'll freak out."
"And if he doesn't freak out?"
Rachel shrugged. "Then he's not your mate."
Doing something drastic did not sound like a good idea but how else could I find out if he was my mate? I mean I knew it was very unlikely that he could be my mate but what if he was? I had to be sure that I was not mated to a psychopathic werewolf.
"Okay so what should I do?"
The next thing Rachel said completely and utterly shocked me.
"You should try and kill yourself."
