Alexander POV
I waited all night to see Blake’s car drive back into the pack house parking lot where I knew his car always stayed, my anger and frustration growing every minute before I finally had to force. myself to sleep knowing I’ll have to wake up early tomorrow morning to take care of my duties.
I woke up as the first ray of sunlight streamed into my room from the space between my curtains and the first thing I did when I woke up was go and check the parking lot. My jaw hardened when I saw that Blake’s car was still absent. I quietly went to take a bath before dressing up and going down for breakfast. I picked at the food like a toddler with a plate of veggies and it was times like this I hated how my mom made us eat together as a family all the time. I felt my mum’s worried eyes on me the entire time but I refused to give her the chance to ask me any questions.
My mom was so in tune with me, it was as though we had some sort of mate bond but between mother and child. She could somehow feel when something was up with me and when I was hurt. When I was little and another kid pushed me down while we were playing causing me to bruise my knee or something, my mom would suddenly appear, fussing all over me. She was just one step away from reading my mind and with that thought on my mind, I rounded up quickly at the breakfast table before she could attempt to try it out.
When I got to work I couldn’t concentrate on a single thing because all I could think of was Blake spending the night with Isabella. My Beta spending the night with my mate. I was pacing

and I just couldn’t calm down until finally I caught a whiff of Blake’ s scent outside my door and forced myself to sit down before I pounced on him. He knocked twice as usual before pushing open the door and I sprang out of the chair, my resolve not lasting even a second.
“Where are you coming from?” I demanded and Blake veered back a little at the suddenness as well as the threat in my stance.
“From Bella’s? I drove her down here and dropped her off in front of the gallery before coming here. We were a little late because-”
“That’s enough!” I thunder, refusing to hear exactly what it was that they had been up to. Blake stared at me in confusion.
“Hey, what’s the problem, man?”
“The problem is you s…” I paced the room once more, running my fingers through my hair, “You couldn’t just drop her off and leave? Why did you stay back?”
Blake looked at me like I had lost my marbles which only did well to p is s me off even more, “She was passed out and wouldn’t have been able to lock the door behind me if I had left. Was I supposed to leave her there, vulnerable and prone to danger? Was that the better option?” He growled eyebrows narrowed.
He was insinuating that she was still too unconscious to make any decisions and I knew Blake would never take advantage of a woman but…but what about this morning? Why were they ‘a little late’? It’s not like he had any reason to stay away from her. No one. knows what we are and Isabella is a very attractive woman and they’ve been cozying up to each other lately.
“Well, why do you care? Huh? Why do you care if her door is unlocked or not?”

Blake stopped, his head c ock d as he stared at me incredulously while I breathed heavily, my torso rising and falling as I glared at him, “Because I’m a person Alexander. Wouldn’t you care? Wouldn’ t you care if she would be in danger? Do you really hate her that much or is this something else, huh?”
I glared at him and he glared back before. We stayed that way for the next few seconds until Caleb and Mason barged in. Caleb’s eyes darted between both of us before widening unrealistically while Mason hurriedly came between us both, pushing us apart from each other. I let him because I was exhausted with it all, otherwise, it would have been to Mason like pushing a wall but I let it and I was soon a distance away from Blake.
“Why on earth are the Alpha and Beta of a pack fighting?” Mason wanted to know, his face holding deep concern while Caleb looked just as confused.
Blake backed away from me, “Someone is mad at me for staying behind at someone’s apartment when she’s drunk and unconscious to make sure she’s safe instead of just leaving her there while she obviously can’t come and lock the doors since she’ s too passed out to do so.” He spat.
Caleb raised his eyebrows but a smirk graced his face, “Please elaborate.”
“Yeah, please,” Mason added and I ran my fingers through my hair.
Blake glanced at me before he began to do just that with an expression that said that he didn’t give two f uc ks whether I wanted them to know the full gist or not. “Alexander and I were at the club last night and Izzy was there too. She was drunk and he wanted me to take her home.” He said leaving out the part where he stopped me from beating some guy to a pulp.

“Now that I think about it, I wonder why he did not just take her home himself if he was going to b it ch about this. Anyway, Bella passed out before I got her to her place and what kind of person would it make me to just leave her there with her door unlocked?” Caleb’s eyes darted to me and I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.
“So I slept on her couch in the living room and brought her to the pack house this morning since her car is still at the club and here comes Alexander, yelling at me like I stole his candy.”
Caleb threw back his head and laughed and I stared at him confused and still pretty much wired up. Mason, although he wasn’ t laughing, wore a hint of a smile. I was about to demand exactly what was going on when Caleb spoke.
“This is the kind of drama I’ll pay to watch. Well of course you stole his candy Blake. He thinks you slept with Bella.” He said and I tensed.
“What? No, I did not! She was passed out dude, why would I do that?”
“Alexander is too in love with Isabella to reason,” Caleb smirked.
“Are you insane?!” I growled at him, “Why would I be in love with. her?” They all laughed and Blake’s anger eased into a small smile. as he looked at me. “Okay, enough of all this, I have work to do and I’m sure you guys do too,” I said, dismissing them.
“Do you like her though?” Blake pressed and I glared at him while Caleb snickered.
“He’s one of those guys that bully the people they like instead of just confessing.”

“Isabella annoys me, that’s what and I don’t give a da m n if you sleep with her or whatever, I’d just hate for you guys to get deceived by her,” I said, lying through my teeth and hoping to the goddess that they don’t take that as a go ahead.
“She doesn’t seem like a bad person.” Caleb mused but I ignored him.
“Well, we’re not going till you and Blake make up or whatever. It can’t be good for the pack for you guys to fight like this and over a woman no less.” Mason said seriously, his arms folded as his eyes darted between Blake and I. I hated that he was being the sensible one right now.
“We weren’t-” I pinched the bridge of my nose and exhaled deeply, “Sorry man, that was uncalled for,” I said, feeling quite
embarrassed now that I obviously didn’t have anything to be so angry with him for. That plus them thinking that I was in love with Isabella.
I scoffed inwardly. Yes, we were mates and I didn’t want anyone to know that and yes, I may have been a tad bit jealous at the thought of Blake having something to do with her but that was as a result of the st u pid mate bond. I definitely wasn’t in love with her.
“It’s alright,” Blake said and they soon filed out, leaving me to my thoughts.
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. My elbows were on the desk while I rested my head in my palms. This whole thing was a mess. What if Blake falls for her eventually? Had I given them the go-ahead concerning her in telling them they can go ahead with. her? Why the hell was she even in that club yesterday and who knows how long she had been there? Who knows what she had been up to before I found her drinking alone?
