Alpha Zander
Chapter 24

It was a very frustrating start to the day.

Every time I smelt him I had to act as though it was nothing, every time he walked passed it killed me that I couldn’t speak to him.

I didn’t realize how hard this was going to be, is it hard for him too?

It seems he is just moving along casually without any care for the world.

‘Remember this is what you wanted, I’m 100 % sure Zander would have loved to mate and mark, on Saturday night when we saw him’ Kia oh so helpfully reminded me every time I pined for him.

I know Kia, I just wish it wasn’t so hard, I at least wanted to be able to speak to him a little bit. But even then I don’t know what we could discuss’

I waited for the girls at the steps by my locker, we always ate at the cafeteria for lunch and today was no different.

I could feel a pull towards the football grounds, I walked around to the windows that opened up all through the hallways to provide sunlight through the dark corridor.

I saw Zander in a sports outfit with a red rugby top, black shorts, and black shoes. He was running around being a bit silly and stupid with his friends, some of the cheerleaders were on the steps watching the boys, a pin of jealousy coursed through me as the twins from Westfield sat there giggling at Zander. Brooke and Mia, the ldentical twin wolves from Westfield are tall, stunning blonds, they always wore matching outfits, today they had on white jeans, red heals, and a red crop top with leather jackets. Their parents are the Gammas of the Westfield pack, making them Gamma Heir.

Would I always feel this insecure with him being around others?

I must have been watching him too long, as he stopped a tackle from one of his friends he looked up in my direction, his eyes locking with mine. They were different from the other night, not cold glare but not a friendly happy one either. I wasn’t sure what happened between us. I tiled my head in question what was wrong.

He just completely ignored everything and looked away coldly.

Kia whimpered at the thought of him being angry at us, I was confused and getting upset myself.

I wasn’t sure what I did, even if I did anything at all.

Can you contact Jace’? I asked her.

‘No, I don’t know what’s happened’ she mumbled. I tried to fight the tears that were threatening to come through. What did I do? l only wanted to figure things out. I didn’t want to ever make him angry or hurt. I thought we left on good terms on Saturday night.

As I was thinking of ways to try and contact him. Chloe came up behind me startling me. “Hey, girl you ready?” She asked linking her arm with mine.

“Oh, Hey yeah sure, Lunch usual spot right?” I responded

“Yep, ls everything ok, you look distracted?”

“Yeah I’m all good, let’s go” I mumbled back, and turned around heading through the doors towards the cafeteria.

“‘So I hooked up with Bobby on the weekend” Chloe blurted out as we walked.

I had to hold back a giggle, Bobby Enderson has been trying to get in Chloe’s pants since she started cheerleading this last, he is the Alpha Heir of the Riverview and has the same arrogance and cocky demeanor as most Alphas.

“Really?” I asked trying not to sound so amused.

She shot me a pouted look “I know I always said I didn’t want to but he asked me on Friday, we had study hall together and he isn’t a bad guy,” she continued her rant as we walked into the cafeteria.

I hadn’t had much to do with Bobby, just that he is in our year and not a bad guy he also slept around from what I have heard.

I was a little surprised Chloe gave into going out with him, I guess we all have that one weakness.

I’ve had my fair share of guys asking me out but back in 10th Grade, it got out that I was waiting for my mate so everyone kind of stopped asking me since.

It didn’t exactly bother me much, I was waiting for my mate, I just wanted to be the one to tell people rather than being on the rumor mill.

We made our way over to the table where Ollie and Brent were sitting with Sam and Don, they were all a part of the football team this year, and some of Ollie’s buddies who he hung out with.

I was somewhat surprised Chloe didn’t say anything when we sat down, She and Don had a fling going last year it seemed that was well and truly over if she is going to go out with Bobby now.

We sat down and started chatting the boys were being boys with their stupid talks and discussions about the football game and what girl was the flavor of the month this month. I saw Skyla over with her pack members today, I guess they were sticking close together today, I smiled at her and waved just as I had Zander and some of the others who were on the football ground fled into the cafeteria making all sorts of racket while lining up to get lunch.

Thankfully I had packed mine this morning and not had to bother with the crazy lines today.

As I was digging into my lunch I felt a course of pain shoot through me so unexpectantly, everything numbed in pain, I could barely move. It hurt like nothing else I have ever experienced before. ‘Kia, what’s happening’ I whimpered.

‘Where’s Zander’she asked quietly.

I looked around and saw the twins all over Zander, one of them was kissing him on the lips moving her hands all over his body and the other whispering something in his ear playing with his collar.

My eyes blurred with tears fighting to release the hurt and anger that flowed through me, I tried to keep everything under control.

This time Kia remained silent rather than the usual thrashing around trying to be let out.

At this moment I have never felt so weak, so humiliated, even though no one knew we were mates, we knew and I thought it meant something to him. I guess wrong, I was so very wrong.

I didn’t know what to do so I just got up and left without a word to anyone.
