My Alpha Mate (ON HOLD)

Chapter Four

Charlottes POV
The doctors said I could go home today. So that's were I'm going. I'm sitting in alphas car in complete silence. To say it was tense would be an understatement.

I only spoke when spoken to and never made eye contact. Even though he tells me that it's ok if I don't do these things I can't help it. That's just the way I was taught.

"How are you feeling today Charlotte?" Alpha asked softly. "I'm good Alpha." I sat stiffly as I replied. He let out a sigh of annoyance and disappointed.

I cringed knowing I did something wrong and not knowing what sort of punishment I would get. "Charlotte, baby how many times do I need to tell you that you don't need to call me Alpha. You are my equal."

"I am sorry Alpha." I responded in a monotone voice. I was not going to fall for his tricks. The car came to an abrupt stop on the side of road. I froze knowing I would most likely get my punishment now.

I felt alphas hands roughly turn my face to look at him. "GODDAMNIT CHARLOTTE WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN?! I'M TRYING TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT BETWEEN US! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU IM SORRY?!"

With each word he spoke his grip on my face got tighter. I knew he would leave bruises were his hands were. Tears started flowing steadily down my face. The memory's from that night returning

I came back to reality when I saw his eyes turning from black, to blue. His eyes soften and filled with regret. He quickly released my face, and I let out a sob as I lightly brushed were the bruises were forming.

"Oh my god. What have I done? Angel I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I just got upset. I didn't mean to do that. Please baby. I'm sorry." During his speech he took my hand in his.

I was quick to snatch my hand away, and on impulse I spoke. "Just leave me alone." I said barely above a whisper as I looked out the window. I knew he heard though.

I heard him lightly sniffle as he pulled off the side of the road and continued to the pack house. As soon as we pulled up in the drive way I opened the door and ran inside.

A good ten seconds later I could hear footsteps running after me. I ignored the weird looks I got as I ran. I rushed up the stairs and to the attic were my "bedroom" was.

As I opened the door to my bedroom I noticed that what little I had wasn't there. I turned to shut myself in the room, but before I could a foot blocked the doorway. Alpha walked in.

He was rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "I um, I had your stuff moved to my room. I thought you might be more comfortable in there with me." That was the final straw.

I looked him in the eye, and I broke. "YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT! YOU ARE NOT MY MATE!" I yelled with all my might. "Don't say that." He whispered brokenly. Tears started to fall down my cheeks.

"You know... I used to think that my mate would be my hero. That he would take me away from this place and we would run away together and live happily ever after. I guess I was wrong."

"Baby please. I can be that person. I can be the mate you deserve. If you just give me a chance I can make this right." Tears started to build up in his eyes and threatened to spill out.

"I can't do this right now.... I just need some time." I lightly shoved him out the door and closed it. I slid to the floor as a cried. I cried until I ran out of tears, and was exhausted. I laid down on the floor, closed my eyes and let myself be taken into oblivion.
