Mistake With The Alpha Chapter 17

Samantha's POV

　　"Let me help" I saw a hand stretched towards me.

　　I looked up to see who at least is not heartless in our pack's warriors. Then I saw no one but our pack's never around young looking Gamma. I looked at him and wondered if it was intentional by the moon goddess to put all of the handsome men in the pack's leadership.

　　The Gamma has been my crush since I was a teen. I loved to see him around. He would have been if our Alpha had found his mate because a Gamma is a protector of Luna but since he is not, he mostly takes care of the affairs outside the pack.

　　With the Gamma's look, none will know that he's just one year younger than the Alpha. Not that our Alpha looks older than his age but the Gemma looks way too young for his age.

　　"Will you continue ignoring my hand?" He asked.

　　It was then I came back to my senses. I gave him my hand to help me stand up but immediately he pulled me up, the pain on my leg sent me back.

　　"Her body is too huge for the leg" a female said in mockery.

　　The Gamma sent her a glare and she moved back. It was then I noticed that the females have moved closer. I know it's for the Gamma.

　　"Is your ankle broken?" He asked me with concern.

　　I shook my head. I couldn't find my voice to talk to him. He was looking at me with those pretty eyes and it was melting me.

　　The Gamma frowned.

　　" How long have you been running?"

　　I wonder how he knew I was running. I didn't know when he came in. As I was, I didn't reply. He bent down and touched my leg, this made me winced. He shook his head and then did the most shocking thing. He bent down and picked me up. I widen my eyes.

　　"You shouldn't be doing this. I'm too heavy" I said shyly.

　　He then burst into laughter.

　　" Who the hell fed you with that stupid lie? You don't even weigh a quarter of one of the iron weights I carry daily".

　　I didn't believe him because I've always heard that I have too much weight. The shame of knowing my exact weight wouldn't even make me weigh myself on a weighing scale.

　　"Even at that you shouldn't carry me. I'll try to walk" I said.

　　" I can't smell a mate on you, so I don't have anyone who will lunge for my throat" he said with a childish smile.

　　I bowed my head because I felt ridiculed. I know he didn't mean it to where I thought it to but it was like him reminding me of how lonely and alone I was.

　　"You can't lose weight. It's your body not fat. So stop hurting yourself" he said.

　　He is getting it all wrong. He thinks I'm doing this for myself.

　　"I'm not trying to lose weight. I'm getting punished for being silly" I said with ignominy.

　　It's not news. Everyone knows I've been punished. In fact he is the Gamma and the Alpha might tell him what I did. So what's the essence of lying?

　　"Who dares to punish a beauty like you?" He asked jokingly.

　　I know he was joking but I still like the way he called me beauty. Not differentiating my face from my body.

　　John has never told me I'm beautiful. He would rather say I'm cute but he would say,

　　"You have a cute face."

　　Meaning you don't have a beautiful body. The Gamma is really a gentleman.

　　"Me" I heard the Alpha's thick voice.

　　"No, this is trouble. Why is he everywhere?" I cried in my head.

　　" I wonder," Crystal replied.

　　"Oops!" the Gemma exclaimed in a low voice.

　　" Alpha" he bowed.

　　He didn't even make an attempt to put me down even when I was trying to, he held me firmly. The Alpha was looking at him and me with a look that can be so confusing.

　　"Why is she in your hands?" He asked.

　　"I think her ankle is sprained. She can't walk" The Gamma replied.

　　"Then you should have sent someone to get the carrier to get her to the doctor," he said.

　　"None was ready to help her stand so I think it would be better for me to carry her there myself," the Gemma replied.

　　The Alpha stared at me as if I intentionally made the Gamma carry me. I don't know why he is so mean just for that little mistake of mine. I know I deserved to be punished but not hated.

　　Jaylen's POV

　　I stopped by the cafe to get myself a coffee when I heard some maids talk.

　　"Sam hasn't resumed work yet" she said to the one standing beside her.

　　"Yes. I think she's running more lapses than usual today. Did she offend the Alpha more?" She asked.

　　" How am I to know but it still baffled me what she could have done to warrant the Alpha's anger. She's such a calm girl" the maid said with pity.

　　" Even the calm sometimes fall into a trap. Who knows what happened".

　　" But I do pity her. She hates to run and now she's getting it as a punishment" she said.

　　I couldn't wait to listen to their conversation again. I looked at my wrist watch. She should have stopped running over two hours ago. I didn't believe that she would still be there since she was always eager to finish her fifty lapses. I couldn't help but to go check on her.

　　"I'm doing this because I don't want people to think that I'm a wicked Alpha," I said to myself.

　　Truely, when I got there I saw her still running. I even noticed that her legs were already shaking. I called her three times but she wouldn't hear me. Everyone was looking at her. Then I talked with a powerful voice that she couldn't resist. She stopped and looked at me. Then her legs gave in and she fell. I wanted to run to help her but my pride as an Alpha wouldn't let me. So I stood there and watched her.

　　I wasn't happy with her at all. I felt like shouting at her but I knew it would reveal my concern. After I scolded her and left without looking back to see if I stood up or not.

　　I was almost at my office when my conscience wouldn't let me rest. I know I needed to see if her legs were fine. As I was heading back, I saw my Gamma bearing her in his hands. Then I knew I messed up.

　　I wasn't happy at the way I saw him carry her. Even my wolf was angry which I didn't know why. He wouldn't even put her down with the way I spoke with him. I just watched him as he took her to the clinic.

　　I blamed all these on those on the field. I thought if they had helped her to call the carrier my Gamma wouldn't have reasons to bear her in his hands. I walked angrily to the field.

　　"Gather" I said with my alpha voice.

　　Everyone ran close to me in a hurry leaving whatever they were doing. With the way I was boiling, they knew they were so dead.

　　"I thought I trained you better than to treat one of your own like an outcast. How dare you act heartless in my pack. How dare you leave someone so helpless and not try to help. So if she was dying, you would have just let her die?"

　　My anger was rising and they were all shaking. Everywhere was so silent.

　　"I'm so disappointed in you all. If you treat your own like this, how will you treat a visitor?"

　　None of them uttered a word. Not even an apology. They know they are so dead if they dare to open their mouths while I'm still talking.

　　"Now for your heartless attitude, you warriors that's present here, will go to the pack farmland and till it for two weeks without no one's help and if I dare to hear anything about misconduct from our farmers, just know that you are so dead. Did I make myself clear?"

　　" Yes Alpha" they chorused.

　　" As for those of you still in training, I'll spare you for today. If this repeats itself again, you'll all work in the sewage" I said. " Now to the farm" I ordered then turned to leave.

　　I didn't do this because of Sam, but I did it to discipline my members. I don't want enmity between them.

　　I walked back to my office still feeling guilty about not being there to watch over the poor girl. I know she wasn't running on her own accord. They must have said something to provoke her that she was lost in her pain and kept on running. I don't know what might have happened if I didn't get there to stop her.
