Chapter Fifty-Nine
It felt thrilling, exhilarating, and honestly frightening to comprehend what this now meant for us. Us meaning Cami and I not me and Alpha Alessandro. This was our way out, this was how we would survive this horrific ordeal and move on with our lives.
My knowledge of mates wasn't that great, I barely paid attention to the lessons on Werewolves in school but my knowledge wasn't non-existent. I knew the basics, mates were everything for Werewolves and there was no way they could kill their own mate.
Even this human hating Alpha would not be able to kill his human mate.
"No."
"No?" Alpha Alessandro repeated, his voice low.
I shook my head. "We need to talk."
I bit my lip to stop the smile that was trying to burst onto my lips. I couldn't get too ahead of myself, Alpha Alessandro was very unpredictable. Though his behaviour and actions would indicate I was his mate, he wasn't the typical loving and doting mate that you would often see.
It was just my luck that I would be mated to an unhinged Werewolf who hated humans, but I had to admit I was lucky that I was mated to him, if I wasn't mated to him I wouldn't be alive right now.
"There's nothing to talk about."
Feeling brave and probably foolish, I took a step closer to him. "We have a lot to talk about."
"There is nothing to talk about." Alpha Alessandro repeated those words but said it painfully slowly with gritted teeth.
Ignoring the look he was giving me, I continued talking. "What does this mate thing mean for us? How will it work?"
Though I was still stunned at the revelation and a huge part of me was still in denial and trying to process the fact that I was mated to a freaking Werewolf, another part of me was eager to use this to our advantage. It wasn't wrong of me to do that, I had an advantage now and it would be foolish of me not to utilise it.
Alpha blinked rapidly at my words as if he too was just as stunned as I was. I was unsure of how he thought I would react but I'm sure this was not what he had anticipated. Did he think I would freak out, panic, be in denial and refuse to believe it?
I was feeling all of those things, nevertheless, I was pushing past it so I can think of a plan to keep us alive. I could freak out when I was on my own, which I knew I would do.
"You are taking this well." Alpha Alessandro muttered out before adding more quietly. "Too well."
No I'm not. I'm mated to a freaking psycho Alpha Werewolf who despises humans, trust me, I'm not handling this well!
"Would you prefer it if I ran around screaming?" I asked him as I raised an eyebrow.
He didn't know what he preferred and neither did I.
Alpha Alessandro stormed over to me and grabbed my arm. "I need to think. You need to leave."
Yes, I did need to leave. I needed to leave this place.
I tried pulling my arm out of his grip but he was too strong. "But what about us? I'm your mate." The words sounded strange and I couldn't help but let out a laugh.
I'm his mate. I'm Alpha Alessandro's mate.
The look on Alpha Alessandro's face suggested that he thought I was crazy. Maybe I was? I certainly felt like I was going crazy.
"Go to your room and stay there." He all but pushed me out of his room, slamming the door behind him.
I stared at the closed door for a few seconds before laughing again, ignoring the strange looks I was getting from the Werewolves that were standing guard. I probably was going insane but that I didn't care, I had the upper hand, I had a way out of this mess.
Once I got back to my room, I made my way over to the bed, grabbed a pillow and screamed into it. I was his mate, I was Alpha Alessandro's mate.
How was that even possible? Why was I, a human, his mate?
I needed further information on mates and how exactly I could use this so-called bond to my advantage. I could ask Rachel but any questions about mates would only further raise her suspicions about me and Alpha Alessandro and I couldn't have that, not yet, not until I knew how to use it to my benefit.
Teresa must have known I was his mate, he probably told her soon after she arrived which would explain why she helped me instead of killing me. Though she was must have been very conflicted, she didn't want to hurt her cousin's mate. It has nothing to do with me, just who I belonged to.
Who I belonged to?
What am I even thinking? How could I use that word to describe this? Belong. As if I was some sort of object.
A knock on the door had me jumping slightly as it pulled me out of my thoughts. Was it the Alpha? No, Alpha Alessandro most certainly would not knock on the door, he would barge in. Getting off the bed quickly, I made my way over to the door.
A gasp left my mouth as I saw who was standing behind it. There was one male standing there, who I presumed was a guard but it wasn't him who had me gasping out loud. It was the person standing beside him.
"Cami?" I whispered as I stared at my little sister's face. "Oh my god, it's you!"
I pulled her into my arms, words were coming out of my mouth but they weren't making any sense. It didn't matter though, Cami was here. "I've missed you." I managed to choke out in between my sobs.
"I've missed you too." Cami told me as she held on to me just as tightly as I held onto her.
We stayed like that for a few minutes as we sobbed into each other's arms. With great effort, I pulled away from her but still held onto her, scared that she would disappear if I let her go.
The Werewolf who brought Cami over to the room was still standing there, once we made eye he began to speak. "Alpha Alessandro will be here soon." With that he began to walk away, leaving me alone with Cami.
Pulling her into the room, I closed the door behind her. "Are you okay? How have you been?"
"Me?" Cami shook her head. "Are you okay? You're the one who's been trapped here."
Giving her a weak smile I answered her question. "I've been...fine." My answer wasn't a lie, the situation wasn't ideal but it's not as bad as it could have been.
"Did the Alpha hurt you? I'm sorry, you're stuck here because of me." A tear slid down Cami's face. "But that's going to change."
The determination in her voice had me worried. "Cami, why are you here?" In my happiness and delight in seeing my sister again I had forgotten that she should have been hundreds of miles away from here. She should be with Uncle Tom, safe and as far away from Werewolves as possible.
There was no way Alpha Alessandro would have brought her back, he made no indication to suggest that he would do that at all. Unless our earlier interaction had riled him up and this was his way of getting back at me because having Cami here would keep me on edge constantly, I would too worried about her accidently saying or doing something that would lead the disgusting pig's disappearance and death to us.
"Did Alpha Alessandro bring you here?"
Cami shook her head. "No, no one did."
"I don't understand." I told her truthfully. "Why are you here? Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy to see you but it's not safe for you here."
"It's not safe for you either." Cami pointed out. "And I'm no longer going to let you pay for my...mistakes."
My heart began to pound loudly in my ears as I stared at my brave but silly little sister. "What are you talking about?"
Cami raised her head up high, a strong and determined look crossed her face.
"I'm going to tell everyone the truth."
