I'M MATED TO THE STRONGEST ALPHA MALE

"I am fine without a mate. I don't hate the idea or anything, I am good at what I do and I am happy. I am satisfied." I think to myself,

Since I am going take over, I have started visiting packs with my dad. Shadowing him and learning the intricate stuff that you don't hear about meeting neighboring alphas for maintaining alliances.

Three months in and we finally end up at the Black Creek Pack. Alpha Jackson is also prepping his son to take over. Andre.

It doesn't take too long for us to get there, just two hours flat.

The first day there goes by with ease, Alpha Mike is a sweet and fair alpha. And although he and my dad weren't the best of friends, they have an amazing acquaintanceship. The respect they both share for each other surpasses everything, so they are always able to come to an understanding."

But, Andre is different. He didn't show up that day. Alpha Mike had sent him to take care of a task at a neighboring pack. At dinner he said he was supposed to be back the next day but he still didn't show up until the ending of the third day.

We all finished eating dinner and I decide to head out for a walk to get some fresh air and a little exercise after that delicious meal. When out of no where, the sweetest mix of blackberry and cedar hits me and I start looking around to find where it's coming from. Laying eyes on him, it's as if time is standing still. Enya is going crazy and telling me to go to him.

When he finally scents me too he stops in his tracks, looks around and then we made eye contact. The second our eyes meet, I knew, we both said mate at the same time. He is too far for me to hear him but I saw his lips move. That was when I hear it, the most sickening voice yelling babe, and the next thing I know, a she-wolf is jumping on MY mate, kissing him, and he's letting her. Instead of dropping her, he walks with her in his arms past me, never breaking eye contact, with a look that says don't you dare do s--t."

So what do I do? the only thing I can, I go on my walk like I intended to. If I don't I will go on a rampage.

So I went on a walk deep into the forrest and uprooted a few trees to calm myself. There is an Alpha conference at the end of the week and I need to keep it together.

"Sapphire, we should try to talk to him" Enya urges me over and over.

"Fine" I say giving in, "but not before the conference. After the conference I will confront him and try to see if we can work things out."

It's the morning of day 4 here. Dad and I head over to alpha Mike's office so that can continue where we left off from yesterday.

Dad knocks on the door and pushes it open once alpha Mike says come in.

Who do we see when we walk in? My bastard of a mate.

"Don't call him that" Enya scolds me,

Rolling my eyes, "He is though"

Alpha Mike introduces us and to say he was shocked about me being Sapphire Black is an understatement.

"Nice to meet you" I say, as I extend my hand for a hand shake.

"Likewise" he responds with a tight jaw.

When we shook hands the sparks erupted, but before it could go any further he drops my hand and turns back to his father.

"Why is he treating us like this?" Enya asks

"Because he's a bastard" I answer,

As we stop to have lunch I completely ignore him and only say goodbye to alpha Mike.

Later on my dad came to my room, "Sapphire, earlier today when we stopped to go have lunch, why did you ignore Andre?"

"Ugh, it was that obvious huh?"

"Yes"

Sigh, "You'll know after the conference on Saturday"

As my dad and I walk into the pack house right before dinner, Andre was already there with that same she-wolf but when he saw us at he door he started making out with her right in front of me. He's taunting me and Enya loses it.

I don't even remember when I grabbed her by the shoulder and threw her off him. It caught everyone off guard because he was still sitting there wide eyed. Even my dad was caught off guard."

"Sapphire!" he yells, "What are you doing?!"

Having been attacked from behind, the she-wolf got up reasonably pissed and rushed me. I easily grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up in the air. Andre stood and started growling and yelling for me to put her down. He was ready to fight me.

I am his destined mate, the one the moon goddess created for him, but it's obvious that doesn't mean anything to him.

Enya is pissed, we both are, but I am also incredibly hurt so I let Enya do all the talking.

She turns to him and says, "Pettiness I can deal with, but blatant disrespect for who I am to you I. WILL. NOT. TOLERATE. YOU WILL NOT DISRESPECT ME IN THIS MANNER."

"PUT HER DOWN NOWW!!," he growls out.

"OR WHAT?" we challenge him,

"OR I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE DEAD!", he threatens as his eyes flicker between his normal dark brown and his wolf's hazel eyes.

"ANDRE! What is going on here?!!" yells alpha Mike

I tighten my grip on the she-wolf and she starts to whimper and squirm more.

Andre starts to shift and that's when I felt my father's hand on my shoulder.

"Princess, that's enough." He says softly.

"Tell the bitch to drop her now!" Andre yells,

That did it for my dad. He lets out a menacing growl and backs Andre to the other side of the room.

"YOU IMMATURE, INEXPERIENCED PUP! IF YOU WANT YOUR LITTLE MISTRESS BACK IN ONE PIECE I SUGGEST YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WATCH YOUR TONE WITH ME OR SO HELP ME I WILL SPREAD YOUR GUTS ACROSS THESE WALLS" my dad threatened.

"ALPHA BLACK! I SUGGEST YOU CALM DOWN! UNLESS YOU INTEND TO START A WAR TWO DAYS BEFORE THE CONFERENCE! I WILL NOT STAND ASIDE AND WATCH YOU LAY A HAND ON MY SON!" says alpha Mike.
