The Alpha and the Beta

Chapter 20- Unexpected Phone call

Chapter 20-

*Recap*

I hissed as another wave shot through me. “Do you have a salve or something that will take away the burn from heat?” I asked her not all too serious but still voiced my discomfort.

“I’m sorry Hun, I don’t. There’s only one fix to that.” She chuckled.

“I was afraid of that...” I chuckled back biting off another hiss of pain that rushed through me.

“The longer you wait the worse it’s going to hurt. “Her tone was soft but serious.

“I was afraid of that too.” I tried to cover up the pain with a smile. She was done with my leg when I heard the front door slam. There was an air of dominance that rippled through the air. Then his voice cut the silence. “ZOEY!!” His booming yell echoed through the hall before he stormed into the room. I narrowed my eyes at him.

“You rang, all mighty Alpha?” I bit out at him.

“We need to talk, Now” His voice gave no room for protest. I actually became a little fearful for the small woman in the room but that was only moments before he ordered her to leave the room and the fearful panic set itself on me.

Oh snap, I’m really in trouble now.

*Landon’s POV*

She stared at me like I had grown two heads. She was not happy with me but I could also tell she was a little unsure about standing her ground at this point but knowing Zoey that’s exactly what she is going to do. Even though she was nervous and I could tell she didn’t show it she just narrowed her eyes at me. There was a lot of anger rolling around in those gorgeous emerald eyes of hers.

By the look in her eye’s it says she is going to snap and I was going to catch the brunt of it all. But that’s ok because I’m not all that happy with her myself. I didn’t get a chance to tell her to wait before she killed her captor. We wanted him for questioning; he was obviously a missionary for someone. A weak link that was easily disposed of. But no of course not she had to antagonize him to the point of pushing his wolf out and break his own rules and attack her. She is never the one to make the first move but she will push and shove and antagonize the hell out of you until you do. She will push whatever button she has too to get the results she wants. And right now with her heat she is pushing every button she thinks she can just to get a result.

I’m not happy about it but I do understand because I’m feeling what she is through the bond. Yes it sucks but what else can I do. The last time I tried to fix this shit someone knocked on the door, now it’s rolling off of her in such thick waves I can’t breathe ten foot away, near an open door, without getting turned on. And with all the crap she has been sending to me though the mind link, I had to leave Brad to clean up so I could try to calm my own hormones. God that girl has a vivid imagination. But she could have chosen a better time to cut loose on me.

I know she was upset with me for not responding to her call after we got there, but we were out numbered more than we anticipated and it was a little hard to work my way through them to her. I knew she would be alright till I got there she always is. It wasn’t until she sent a cry out to everyone that I really started plowing through them to get to her faster. I watched her back out of the building, I understood at that moment why she was stressing.

Her stance became a little more relaxed once I got to her. Her fighting became more fluid and ruthless rather than defensive and erratic. She hates fighting alone. She always has. I can’t even explain how sorry I am about all of this, about not responding to her faster, about not going with her to her house, about every bad thing that has happened in the last 2 days. I have to deal with this now with a very angry, very frustrated mate who is staring me down with a death glare. To tell you the truth her death stare is actually impressive enough to make an Alpha a little nervous, and I was… a little.
