Chapter 25 

Alpha Nicholas 

Tonight has been up there with a fucking tornado. From hosting a ball to being forced to meet wanna–be future Lunas to finding my mate, all of which I didn’t want then to add on being woken out of bed to hear of She–wolves running around our lands at 1 in the morning, And if that wasn’t enough, one of those girls just so happened to be my mate and the other my brother’s mate. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly happy for my brother. I know he’s wanted his mate for a long time but what a shit situation for it to happen in, and what are the odds that his mate would be my mate’s best friend? Shockingly, that’s what! I know there’s more to his mate’s story and I have a feeling that there’s going to be some work to be done to help her, but she’s family now and there’s nothing we 

won’t do to help her. 

My mate and her best friend trying to run off is also the reason that I now find myself sitting in my office at 2 in the morning with 

ing my mate on the other side of my desk looking lost, sad, and afraid. I can only imagine what she’s thinking… that I don‘ towards her. That I’m not affected by the mate bond, or that I don’t feel the tingles but I do, I feel it all.

I also know that she thinks that I don’t want her as a mate and of course, while I may have made sure that she thought that to be true, it doesn’t mean that I want any harm to come to her, and that’s the problem, she has been harmed. She’s clearly in pain, I can sense it, can feel it. I’m also an Alpha which means my senses are more heightened than other wolves and I feel even more deeply. She’s in pain both mentally and physically and I know that after how I have treated her I don’t deserve to know what’s going on with her, but it doesn’t 

mean I’m not going to try. 

“So your name is Bonnie?” I see her slightly shiver when I say her name and it pleases me even when it shouldn’t. “Yes, it is, Alpha Nicholas.” I nod while Storm rolls around like a pup in my head loving her name. “How old are you Bonnie?” My gut is telling me she is 18 after something Lily said but surely the Moon Goddess wouldn’t give me a mate 10 years younger than me… would she? “I’m 18.” Yes, yes she fucking would! 

“Now, would you like to tell me your story?” She scrunches up her nose with a look of confusion and I swear it’s the cutest fucking sight I have ever seen. Fuck, she’s starting to mess with my head, I can feel it. The sooner she goes home the better. I hope Lily doesn’t want Bonnie hanging around here because I don’t think I could handle it. It’s only been a few hours since we met and despite my thoughts, feelings, and even determination not to have a mate I can slowly feel the mate bond drawing me in and it needs to stop. 

“You felt the efforts from the first moment you laid your eyes on her and you know it! You can lie to yourself but you can’t lie to me!” Storm growls rattling my head. The longer we are around her the more angry he’s becoming at not having her be ours. Why the fuck did I think it was a good idea to have her stay here with just me in the room? “You wanted to spend time with her. We both did because tomorrow you’re going to send her away and destroy her and us because you’re a selfish prick!” 

I know Storm’s right to be pissed but I can’t handle it right now not when I have my mate sat right in front of me so I block him out and turn my attention to the girl sitting in front of me. It’s then that I notice what she’s wearing. She is in leggings and a tee–shirt both of which look old and torn with a baseball cap on that covers half of her face. “Take your hat off.” Her eyes meet mine as she slides it off her head and I swear that I stop breathing. Despite all of my feelings, I can’t deny that this girl is absolutely beautiful and no doubt the most beautiful girl, that I have ever seen.
