My Monster Mate (Book I)

Forty-Six: The Outrage

The Outrage
Elijah.

I had been making the bed when I received a mind-link from my sister. I placed the last pillow down just as it rung in my head.

'Bridgette linked the Pack that you're Alexander's mate. I'm sorry.'

It froze my heart my Pack, my home. They probably hate me, just as I thought all was well. Just as I thought, things between Xander and I were running smoothly, – I mean, a couple that has nicknames for each other stays together – just as I got my wolf back. I thought I might even get introduced as Luna.

Then this.

Talk about a life of bad fucking luck.

I had just taken a seat on the bed when I heard Alexander ask, "What's wrong?"

He had just come out of the shower, all beautiful and wet his abs glistening. Gosh, sleeping with him has brought out the most outrageous thoughts I never knew exsited within me.

"My sister –"

His face immediately changes, "Is she okay?" The worry in his voice is evident.

They really had grown closer this past year, I hadn't believed Nicholas when he had told me just how in sync they were. However, as these few days have passed and now this... I really do.

It made me really happy to know that the two most important people to me had become so close. It would've killed me if they were still at each other's throats.

I gesture for him to relax, "She's fine, she's fine." I couldn't help but chuckle, "She just linked me. My... The North Pack know I'm here, they know I'm your mate."

"Didn't they already know?" He looks disinterested.

I give him a what-the-fuck look, "No! Have you forgotten you attacked them! They hate you, we – they, still haven't forgiven you."

He frowns noticing my slip even with the cover up, "You haven't forgiven me?"

"I –" Dammit, I didn't think he'd realise the slip up, "I don't know. I haven't put much thought into it. Too much has happened since then, nearly two years have passed."

I wasn't lying, I've barely even thought of the attack. From the moment I met him it had slipped my mind. It sounds horrible and conceited but it was the truth, since I've met Alexander things have just been happening. Train wreck after train wreck, I haven't had a moment to breathe.

The first three days after the attack were brutal, having to deal with the funerals. There was little to no rebuilding that had to be done since the attack hadn't reached the city, the Pack was just somber because of the deaths.

After my birthday my thoughts and my life just went downhill. I haven't actually sat and thought about much since that night.

His lips were still downcasted, "What does this mean? Are you going back there?"

"Yes. I have to, I have to set everything right, I owe it to Jameson. He babysat me, everyone knows that. They'll use that against him, they'll know there was no way he hadn't known. We're close, everyone knows that too. I have to go back, to make sure they don't try to overrule him over this."

I shuffled around, remaking the bed. It was turning into a nervous habit of mine. Trying to focus on anything but the issue at hand by doing something else, normally I just fiddle. Now, I'm doing the damn bed again. I was smoothing over creases that weren't even there.

Seeing this Alexander chuckles making his way to me, he grabs my hands holding them in his. He places light kisses on my knuckles and smiles gently at me.
