Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 16

I love the way the stars adorn the sky, when I was younger I used to believe my parents were stars watching over me but with time I realized my silliness but it wouldn't hurt believing they were, if they were I hope they know how much I love them, how much I miss

them, how badly the world is treating their little girl and she stayed strong.

I wouldn't mind being a star leaving this cruel world. Death won't hurt but I had made a promise to my dad I wasn't backing away now.

They were the only ones who genuinely cared about me. I held onto the necklace tighter, Jaden wasn't a part of them. I'm still a bit confused about his intentions and he knows that I hate him but I'm glad that he's here.

"I love them too," Jaden says, with a sigh. " Sometimes all I need to do is come here and let go watching the stars" I almost laugh at the hypocrisy of it. How could he possibly understand how I feel? "Look" he points his fingers

"A Persian horse"

"I can't see it" I say, not recognizing my voice with this weak one.

"Here" he pulls my hands sending sparks were he touched pointing just like his "I'll show you"

Using both our hands to trace out the imaginary horse.

"Ha" I chuckle as I see its weird shape.

"I usually thought the stars were stupid like why you so goddamn finer than me" he pouts.

Don't flatter yourself" I scoff, smiling.

You don't think I'll make a pretty star like that one over there" he points out a small one in a small orbital space with no star close to it like the others, it was isolated but still glowing.

"That's you," Jaden emphasizes.

The lonely part was true, but I was in no way pretty I look away as the ache in my chest overwhelms me I'll never be pretty always be a pathetic slave.

I start to leave his arms but he doesn't let me pull me back and hold him tighter.

"Hey I'm sure that star is wickedly jealous of you" he says genuinely and I laugh it off if I was so pretty why had he rejected me? Who in their right minds will want a life like mine. I won't even wish my enemy my miserable life unless they were Riley and Shyna. His expression darkens making me look away.

"It was pretty neat for a roof except the black soothe" I say trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, I made it happen, I come here a lot." I look towards him as he runs through his hair nervously, Jaden Perry shy I never think I'll ever see the day.

"Why?" I am curious to know what an Alpha is doing spending time on a roof.

"Well sometimes I need a break from everyone plus I got my own let's say.... Bed-ish"

77

Bed-ish?" I asked, puzzled.

27

Come I'll show you walking to the side he stops in front of a concrete rectangle shape a little bit high above the ground and tilting to the left he can not be serious.

"My bed tada" I don't know what he thinks a bed is but this ain't it. Looking at my scrunched face he adds

"Come I'll show you" he walks up to it and lies on the thing easily.

Again I repeat he can not be serious.

"Come lie with me" I stare at him like he had grown another head, how could he say it easily?

The thing looks big enough to contain two people but I'll have to be close to him for that.

"I won't bite" he teases "when will an Alpha ask you to rest under the moonlight with him?"

I roll my eyes with a shrug, I lie with him, his hand my pillow, his beautiful smell of citrus calms me, his body heat making me warm as we lie comfortably in the silence. "What's that?" Jaden asked, touching my closed hand.

I open it up, the emerald and chain glowing under the moonlight I sniffle holding back tears.

"It was my dad's his last gift to me on my 11th birthday, the only thing I had left of him, I miss him with every fiber within me"

It's wrong I'm opening up to him, I know it but I don't stop.

"If he was here he'll definitely wipe away my tears goddamn if he were here I'll not be a miserable slave”

He folds his hand underneath my head pushing me to him, placing a light kiss on my forehead.

"Everything will be fine" he mutters and I doubt it nothing ever has been and recently it looks like nothing will be.

"Stay away from Dimitri" he says, cutting the silence and peaceful thing we had going between us, he had nothing to worry about though Dimitri was just a mistake I wish I had never encountered.

"Why should I" I ask anyway knowing how high his jealousy rate is, it's really pathetic that he doesn't want me neither does he want anybody to have me maybe it's because I bruised his manly ego not being on the list of girls he'd swept of their feet and he was dying to add me to that list tch!

"He's not a good guy" he answers bluntly, almost making me laugh. I sit upright looking at him a bit offended, getting a sudden urge to defend Dimitri.

"Who are you to decide that " I huff, yes, Dimitri had hurt me, made me weak, played with my emotions but Jaden had done worse.

"You're right I'm in no position to say that " he apologizes and I'm taken aback did Jaden Perry just accept his error. Where had Jaden gone? And who was this imposta.

"Now come back I'm freezing without your warmth." I know he wasn't lying. I felt it too, he had shielded me from the chilling night wind, I lied back needing his warmth too.

Giving me a kiss on my forehead he places his head on mine.

I breathe in knowing this was just an illusion by the morrow Jaden Perry would be back in his rightful place the jerk I've always known and I return to my being the pathetic slave, I was..

***

"Ughh" I whine at the sound of the goddamn birds disrupting my sleep and the blazing sun I felt I was melting underneath.

I was sweating profusely, and not just because of the sun, it was as a result of Jaden's weight draped on top of me almost suffocating me. The man weighed a ton.

I pushed him off me roughly squeezing my way out.

He groans his features uneasy lips in a deep scowl I could tell he was not an early riser, he looked so beautiful under the sunlight, his gold locks hair falling on his face shimmering under the sun rays and somehow he had removed his shirt while I was asleep He had a beautiful body, the body of a warrior. There was a scar on his left chest.

Instinctively, I touch it passing my hand along the path it had been tatted I could feel his heartbeat he was in a deep slumber making me bolder I trail my hand to his second side softly circling his tiny nipples he rumbles and I stay still only moving when he doesn't advance to awaken.

Loving the thrill of assaulting his body while he sleeps I crouch my hand lower, dropping my hands on his abs then I notice a bulge lower I gasp his morning erection underneath his black pants.

"Maybe I could... I think sliding lower the enchantment sending shivers down my spine how large he would be.

"Not so fast sweetheart" he grabs me on my hand "unless you're going to make me cum this morning" I'm stunned to replace him fully awake. He had fooled me, pulling my hand forcefully. I run away ashamed climbing down the ladder grateful I don't hear footsteps behind me.

Not looking where I was going I bumped into a wolf.

My eyes widened as I picked the familiar scent, Dimitri.

He looks at me with plain disgust.

"I can't believe you" he spat, pushing me to the side, like I was just a dent in his way.

"You're an asshole you know that" I say defending myself.

"You're a hoe" he tone laced with disgust.

"Why the fuck did you use me when I'm sure they were many other girls willing to let you be their plaything" I confronted.

Use you?" He said sounding a bit hurt "you were with me thinking of another, how do you think I feel pleasuring you and you moaning out his name, you know how badly I wanted you" he's now standing close way too close my body tingling from his enraged eyes I'm sure he feels it too when he kisses me full on the lips pinning me behind the ladder, his tongue hot on mine, I s**k in a breathe as the familiar electricity burns within me

"God Hailey what are you doing to me" he pulls away looking at me differently with softer eyes. " Meet me tonight close to the forest I'll be waiting for you" before I could utter a word he left me in my frenzy state, my heart pounding so hard in my chest I felt it could explode.

"Hailey" Jaden calls out, watching me closely I compose myself pulling a smile.

"Alpha" I greeted with a bow then left swiftly to avoid him noticing my flushed state.
