Alpha Cameron's Vengeful Mate Chapter 30: Alpha Cameron's Vengeful Mate
“Tiyanna, I need you to tell me what you want. Use your words.” I heard him say through the haze. Why does he want me to talk? I just need him to make this go away.
“I don’t know what I want. This hurts but I don’t want to do this just because of what’s happening to me. I want this to happen because we want each other and not because we feel obligated.” I say before groaning in pain.
“I do want you.” he murmurs.
“Then if that’s true, why are you still making her your Luna?” I asked him through tears. “I’ve already been rejected once and then I meet you and I’m being rejected again. Why? Why am I not good enough for my mates?”
“You are good enough. Mark was an asshole, because had he paid any attention, then he would have felt that you were the most powerful person in that damn pack.”
“Then why don’t you want to be mated to me?” I ask him.
“Look, it has nothing to do with you. I just don’t want a mate, so that’s why I decided to get a chosen one. She won’t have any power, but it will get everyone off my back about having a Luna. She knows that she will be luna in name only and will only be called upon for certain things like taking care of visitors or throwing a party. Why are we even discussing this now? We are supposed to be trying to help you. Lets just go to sleep. I’ll hold you and hopefully that and my scent will help you.”
He lays next to me and pulls the covers over both of us before wrapping an arm around me and pulling me close to his body. The towel is gone and his chest against my back is making the pain more tolerable. We lay there in silence and my eyes start to droop from the exhaustion of the events today. In the morning I’ll be out of his way and he can have his chosen mate. I’ve already had two mates so I don’t see the Goddess granting me a third after this rejection. I’m too tired to keep thinking about any of this as my eyes close, but before I drift completely off I hear him say, “I wish things could be different, but I can’t keep you as my mate” and a lone tear drops from my eye before I fall asleep.
The next morning, I awake to the sun on my face and thankfully no pain. I stretch my limbs and hit something on my right and jump up to find my mate sound asleep next to me. He looks so cute sleeping that I take a few minutes to just look at him. Seeing him this way, you’d never think that awake he is the most ruthless Alpha there is and wouldn’t hesitate to kill someone. I guess this is the only time that he is at peace and doesn’t have anyone to fight or a pack to run. In your sleep or grave I guess are the only places someone can truly be at peace.
Stretching out my hand, I gently brush away some of the hair that has fallen on his handsome face. I look a few seconds longer before quietly getting out of the bed and finding a shirt of his that is long enough to cover me and I head to the door to leave the room. Opening the door, I look back towards the room to make sure he doesn’t hear me and when I turn the knob to leave, I run right into the one person I never wanted to see again.
“What the hell?!” screams Trinity and that wakes up Cameron.
Cameron starts to move around in the room and I know that he is putting on a shirt being that he was only in his pajama pants. This is not a scene that I want to encounter, so I try to walk past her and she pushes me back into the room. I stumble a little but quickly regain my footing and a growl comes from me.
“Do not put your hands on me again or I’ll tear them off your body!” I scream at her.
“Oh, I’d love to see you try, rogue.” she growls back.
“Do not tempt me, whore.” I growl louder at her.
“ENOUGH!” yells Cameron.
“What the hell is she doing leaving your room with only your shirt on? What is going on here? I demand answers!” she yells.
By now, Talon and Caroline have come upstairs to find out what all the yelling is about, I’m sure. Great, now we have an audience. Since she wants to make a scene, I’ll give her a scene.
“Well, isn’t it obvious what’s going on? I know you’re stupid, but I didn’t think you were this dumb Trinity. I mean, I am standing here in nothing but his shirt as you said. What does that usually mean when you look like this? I’ve heard you’re very experienced in the walk of shame.” I smirk at her and I hear Talon and Caroline chuckle a little.
“Are you insinuating that I sleep around?” she asks looking astonished.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to insinuate anything.” I say to her.
“Good, because...” she starts but I cut her off.
“You misunderstood me dear. What I meant is that I meant to say it flat out. Everyone knows you get around. Hell, I was here only one day and heard the rumors about you, which I would have overlooked had you not thrown that nasty shirt at me last night.”
“You bitch!” she screams and raises her hand to slap me, but I grab her hand and twist it behind her back hard. My wolf surfaces faster than I can stop her and I hear bones start to snap.
“AHHHH! This crazy bitch is going to break my arm.” she screams as I do just that before turning her back around and slap her across the face hard.
