Alphas Broken Mate
Chapter 26

Catalina's

POV

I woke up on Andrew's chest. The warmth from his body was calming. I took in his scent and breathed deep. I kiss his chest. I love the feeling of him next to me. I thought back over everything that has happened and everything that has been said. I think about Andrew's chosen words, "if I can avoid it." Which means there is something he's going to do that he can't avoid. Something that will hurt. And Lilith last night saying to trust myself only. Which means I can't trust them. A feeling of loneliness flows over me. But also a feeling of numbness too. With everything that's been happening I feel numb to it. I sit up and make my way out of bed. I change my clothes and I head downstairs. I replace Andrew's father siting in the living room with a book. When he sees me he puts it down and looks up. "Good morning Lina. How are you feeling today?" He asks.

"I'm alright. I wondered if I could ask you a question." I ask sitting next to him on the couch.

"Sure ask away."

"I know you can't tell me why I was angry, but I wanted to know what I looked like when I exploded with fire as Andrew said." He thought for a moment.

"Well, you are correct you were mad. I could feel your anger. When we took our position you tried to step out of the circle and couldn't. I felt the rage in the room then I heard your scream. It shattered all the glass in the room. I saw your face. It was full of pain, not physical I don't think, but emotional. A second later flames completely covered you and filled the space of the circle. I felt the heat from the fire. Then just as quickly as the flames appeared they were gone." He reaches down and grabs my hand. "How much do you remember?" He asks me.

"I remember the anger. I remember the heat. I remember the fire. I remember the feeling of losing control. I remember feeling broken."

"Broken?" He asks.

"Like a part of me broke away. Like I was losing something. It's hard to explain." I say.

"That's alright. We'll figure it out." He squeezes my hand. It's nice to have a father figure I can talk to. I've never experienced this before. I hear someone coming down the stairs and look up to see a sleepy Andrew. "Morning son." His father says cheerily.

"Morning. Is there breakfast?" He asks.

"There is now." Lilith replies coming out of the kitchen with food. We all get up and join her at the table.

"So when are we leaving?" I ask after we all dig into the food.

"We should leave soon. We have a long journey back home." Andrews father says. I nod. I need to finished packing up. But I have one last person to talk to before we leave.

"Lilith can I ask you something." I ask

"Sure child what is it?"

"I know you can't tell me some stuff about last night. But I wanted to know, from your perspective, what did I look like." I asked. She looks at me and smiles.

"Oh you were so mad. I haven't felt rage like that, well ever. You approached Andrew and stepped into the circle. I didn't expect you to burst into flames but I wanted to be safe. I told them to get into there positions on the triangle and I did a barrier spell to keep you in the circle. You tried to take a step out but we're blocked. Three emotions ripped through the air: rage, sadness, and something else. I didn't quite catch it at first but I felt fear. A primal fear and I think all of that together triggered the fire. You screamed and it ripped through the room. Fire exploded from you and it was hot. Left a good mark on my floor too. I saw you floating off the ground."

"I was flying?" I cut her off

"Haha floating, flying is a movement. Then just like that it was over." She said. The table was silent.

"I know it's a lot to handle. But I have faith in you Lina. You will make an excellent High Alpha." She says. High Alpha, I haven't heard this term before. Was that really going to be me? "Should we go upstairs and pack up so we can head out?" Andrew asks bringing me back from my thoughts.

"Uhh, sure yeah." I say and we head upstairs. I start packing my bag but something inside me feels like this will be my last moments with Andrew, I don't know why. I walk over to him and take the shirt that he his folding out of his hand. I place it on the bed. "Whats wrong love?" He asks and I pull his head to mine and crash my lips into his. He kisses me back and wraps his arm around me pulling my body against his. I felt his hands go towards my a** and he lifts me up. I wrap my legs around his waist and I feel his c*ck hard against me. He pins me against the wall then he kisses me down my neck. A moan escaped my mouth when he got to my marked spot. I wish he would mark me. I wish I could be his. I nibble on his ear and he groans in response. He lifts my shirt over my head. He unhooks my bra and his mouth replaces my ni**le. He sucks and kisses me. I was panting trying to replace air. I moaned as I felt him bite down softly. He pulls me way from the wall and places me on the bed. He removes my pants and underwear. Then he slips off his own. I help him with his shirt. His mouth back on mine. His kiss was hungry, desperate, and so was mine. His hands pull me to the edge of the bed. I felt him rub his c*ck on my nub I close my eyes and let the electricity from his touch flow through my body. I wanted to feel him inside me, I wanted to feel all of him.

"Andrew please." I begged him to enter me. "You will have all of me." Andrew whispers in my ear. I feel him enter me slowly. I arch my back as the full length of his c*ck presses into me. I hear him let out a moan then he thrusts in and out of me. Andrew trails kisses down my neck as his thrusts grow harder and faster.

"You feel so good Lina." Andrew whispers into my neck sending chills down my body. I could feel the build up of pressure in my body. Andrew slides his hand to my nub and starts circling it and pinching it. I let out another moan.

"Lina I want to make you c*m." He says in my ear. I feel like I'm on the edge and I could fall at any moment.

"I'm going to c*m" I say out of breath. I hear him growl and thrust faster. Then I see a flash and I come undone all over him. I feel him release inside me and we stay like this panting into each other.

"I love you Lina." He says pulling away from me.

"I love you Andrew." I stand up and go to the bathroom, lock the door, and cry. I don't know why I'm crying. I just feel alone. I take a shower and clean myself up. When I get out of the shower I see Andrew sitting on the bed with everything packed. Andrew doesn't look at me, I know he feels it too.

"Ready?" I ask him. He looks up puts on a fake smile and nods. We head down stairs and meet his dad and Lilith. We said our goodbyes and loaded up into the car. Andrew's father was driving, I was in the passenger seat and Andrew was in the back. We started making our way back to the plane. The car ride was quiet and I spent a lot of time looking out the window. After about an hour of us driving we were still in the woods however it wasn't as thick anymore. Then out of nowhere I see a large SUV seconds before it plows into the side of our SUV. It's like it happened in slow motion. My side of the car caved in, I slammed my head on the window and pain shoots through my head. I see Andrew's Dad's head slam into the steering wheel. I can't see Andrew. Parts of the car are flying in the air. All I can think about is the pain in my head and then blackness.

Meanwhile

"Boss we got her." Jackson says.

"Good, and her mate?" I ask.

"We have the mate too, and the former Alpha." He says.

"Leave Raymond. Bring the mate and the girl here. Do not hurt them any further. I need the mate alive." I say.

"Yes sir we will be there in a few hours." Jackson says.

"And Jackson, keep your disgusting hands off her." I say. He better not touch her or it will be the last thing he does. "Yes boss."
