The Alphas Human Mate

EMILY'S P.O.V

I felt my anger boil at the sight of seeing Four on my way home from school, it was only break time but I stormed out after I tried to calm down for a few minutes but my anger grew until I had to get out of there, I felt trapped. I had been rehearsing what I was going to scream at Four when I seen him from not mentioning the fact that my wedding day was supposedly in three weeks. But now that I seen him as he unloaded boxes from a large van onto the ground outside a shop all I wanted to do was run over and punch him, I knew it would hurt it I did it though I would only end up hurting myself.

As I became closer to him I seen him look up through the crowd off people that were already gathered here, I don't know how he saw me or maybe he could hear my heavy breathing but his eyebrows crinkled together probably wondering why I was out of school already and maybe I looked angry from the outside.

"What's wrong did something happen?" He asked as he stopped what he was doing and started walking towards me. His question was innocent but I don't know how he didn't know what I was angry about. How long did he think he could not tell me this?

"Why didn't you tell me? I thought you weren't going to lie to me anymore" I began my rant ignoring his question as I felt my vision turn blurry as a result of the anger I was feeling.

This wasn't a little lie, this was something for the rest of my life. If he thought for a second I was going to agree to marry him he was very wrong. Wasn't me being here and not running every chance I got enough?

Something must have clicked in Fours head as he closed his eyes taking a deep breath before he chose how to respond to me.

Instead of the bullshit I through he was going to begin feeding me he grabbed my hand and began walking towards a building. If this was any other time I would of been angry but I wanted answers and if going away from staring people was going to get me answers I would follow.

Once we were in an empty office building he let me go and took a deep breath as guilt was laced over his face, but that didn't make me feel any better.

"I was going to tell you-" He began and I felt my anger push my rational side away and I felt my emotions take over.

"Don't feed me that bullshit Four, you knew this the whole time and you didn't think that maybe you should tell me? Ask my permission on it? Or as usual treat me like a bloody child-" I felt my voice rising as it bounced off the small walls that surrounded us as I began to pace throughout the room. Knowing that I had no other choice but to accept this was my life from now on was one thing and I still even struggle after months but marriage? At seventeen? My mind couldn't stop racing at the fact that I was being forced to do this and I had only three weeks to stop this.

"Emily, I didn't tell you because I've been trying to get it stopped for weeks and I didn't want to stress you even more cause I know how you would take this shit" Four cut me of his voice slightly raised as I could tell from his clenched jaw that he was getting angry.

"What do you mean trying? Four isn't it your bloody decision?" I didn't understand what he was saying which only frustrated me even more.

"I've already pushed it back as much as I can, I've been talking with the council to get it removed but I don't have a say. It's a tradition that's been in this pack since it started, they are not going to listen to some 20 year old Alpha that's already trying to change things" He explained, the council? What did he mean by that. "I'll keep trying love, but believe me I don't really want to get married as well" He continued which made my anger soften a little bit.
