My Alpha Mate (ON HOLD)

Chapter Eight

IMPORTANT A/N- Go read AlenaDes 's book 'Mated To The Alpha King'. It's so amazing. The plot is so original and there is never a dull moment in the book. You'll be hooked until the very last word. By far one of my favorite books on Wattpad!

Charlottes POV
I couldn't sleep much last night. I've been up since six this morning. I couldn't stop thinking about Brandon.

Every time I thought about the kiss we shared last night a goofy smile would find it's way to my face. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a knock at my door.

Walking over to the door with a smile on my face. My mood dampened when I saw who was at the door. "Beta Alex." I said lowering my face not making eye contact.

Beta Alex never really joined in the beatings. He would occasionally hit me when I did something wrong though.

He usually liked to use his words more than his hands. Even though this didn't leave physical scars it left emotional ones.

"Hello Luna." He said softly. "Hello Beta." I replied stiffly. "Charlotte, you don't have to call me that. You are a Luna. Not a regular pack member."

I didn't respond. Not knowing how to. The tension in the room was thick. I wanted nothing more than for him to leave.

Clearing his throat awkwardly, he spoke again. "Brandon would like for me to escort you to his office." He spoke stiffly.

At the mention of Brandon's name I instantly perked up.

"Lead the way beta." I said a little more enthusiastically. On the way there Beta Alex decided to make conversation. "I'm glad Brandon has you." Alex spoke genuinely.

I gave him a small forced smile. "It's kind of funny though. I've never seen my best friend so whipped." He chuckled and I couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

Brandon and Alex have always been great friends. In fact they are such great friends that when I had none I couldn't help but envy the special relationship that they shared.

We finally arrived at Brandon's office. I was about to knock when Alex pushed the door open. Probably not used to knocking.

Brandon was at his desk. His muscles were taunt, and his bicep flexed as he typed vigorously, making my mouth water. He soon froze when he sensed us.

His head snapping up looking directly at me, turning his head to Alex after a few seconds.  "Thanks for getting her man. You can go now."

He said the last part more like a command than a suggestion. Alex chuckled. "Alright, alright I'm going. You be safe kids." He said winking in my direction.

Brandon let out a possessive growl. Obviously seeing the wink that Alex gave me. Brandon was about to jump out of his seat to lunge at Alex.

Sensing this Alex quickly bolted towards the door laughing. I shook my head at Alex and his antics. I may not like him, but he was quite entertaining.

As I turned to Brandon I was surprised to see him right in my face. I yelped in surprise, jumping back. I stumbled over my feet almost falling.
