Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 23

JADEN PERRY

I woke up with her in my arms.

That's the best feeling I've ever had. Her neck has two dented marks. Last night I realized I marked her, I didn't mean to but she was too good to resist.

I trace my fingers on the mark and she judders.

"Good morning," I greet kissing her head.

"Hmm," she mumbles, exhausted. The sound makes me smile.

It was her first time and it made me prideful that no other guy has touched her the way I did.

I didn't mean to wear her out, smashing her even when she had passed out, she was addictive each time I had an orgasm, and I wanted her more.

"You sleep tight baby don't bother no one will disturb you till you are ready" Kissing her temples she snuggles the bed sheets tighter.

I get off the land and bed and quickly dress in my rumple clothes looking back at the damsel in my bed, her red hair covering part of her face, my Hailey. "Ohh Jaden finally you are needed in the main room your tailor is there to help design your suit"

"Don't let anybody into the room "I instructed the guard stationed out. He nods on the command and I draw my attention back to the messenger. "A suit?" I have a question.

If I didn't have hundreds of them, why do I need a new one?

"Your dad ordered it he expects nothing but perfection in the coming celebration"

Right! Another thing that needed to be taken care of.

Just for the moment I say inwardly exhaling going to do my father's bidding.

Riley and I stand five feet apart standing on stools as the tailor and designer team take our measurements and suggest what we would like.

Riley does most of the picking, no choice I object because I feel the whole thing is a waste of time and I have other matters to tend to. Why the hell did we need new handmade ones when I could easily sign a check and get one?

I keep my emotions intact, not bothering to act as my father isn't in the room. Riley kept her distance and for her sake I was grateful.

We've not had the opportunity to talk or I haven't gotten the courage to take responsibility for a child from someone I don't want.

It is a big deal. Riley was just another fling that managed to stick and didn't budge, somehow managing to get into my sister's heart and now my father's.

A mistake I regret gravely. I can't even stand to look at her anymore. It was a wonder what I saw in her at first.

That's the thing I didn't see. I was blinded by my ego and plans to anger the moon goddess now she was repaying the favor.

***

The arrangements had been made vastly in a short space of time, not a thing out of place that was always his rule; perfection or perfection.

I see her walk down the stairs looking better in that maid's dress than Riley in her fancy clothes. I see her look at Riley and a sudden sadness engulfs her features making my heart ache.Visit Jo b n i b.com to read the complete chapters for free. If you are not reading this novel on Job ni b .c o m, some sentences are incomplete. The mark has started taking its effect I know she's just overwhelmed by all this just after the night we had just had and I was betrothed to another woman I had prayed she would be too exhausted and sleep throughout the whole goddamn thing but I should have known better she was a strong lady I admire wholeheartedly

"Oh Hailey dear will you come here" Riley called out to her, she puts up a facade but I can hear her bleeding heart.

"Get me a pen and a piece of paper" I ordered a maid holding an empty tray.

"Yes Alpha "she says, swiftly returning with what I asked. I scribble a note to Hailey. I'll love her to sleep by my side tonight again and maybe try to assure her that my promise still stands no matter what happens here tonight. Hailey was looking at Riley like she had grown another head.

I stride to the table passing Hailey, locking my hands with her and she takes the paper.

"She's needed elsewhere" I say smiling at Riley and kissing her a ploy so she won't object, as a puppet, she does exactly what I expect, dismissing Riley and looking at me like I was the moon.

I avert my gaze to Hailey as she's walking away.

"Alpha Jaden" someone calls drawing my attention and that's how the night continues a lot of greetings and congratulations that I fake a smile through.

"Ladies and gentlemen" As his voice blares I knew it was Lord Perry that was about to be announced, classic!

Even on my day, he was still the center of attraction.

He stands alluring, glowing in his power a flare of perfection.

I always knew where I got my good looks from and something happens that stuns me. He smiles at me.

It may be just for show but I had never seen him smile at me that way since my coronation of being Alpha.

I return the smile which he quickly deters towards the cheering crowd. I sip my glass of champagne as he starts his speech.

I feel Hailey, her essence that clung to me as the gift of the mark, it was more intimate than the mate bond. We can tell each other's thoughts and feel each other from a far distance when the process has been completed but I still feel her. She is scared.

I tense feeling her heart racing like it was mine scanning the room for her, which was pointless even if she was in the room the multitude would have blocked me from seeing her.

The sharp pain stings in my chest, almost yanking me off my chair.

"Jaden, are you alright?" Riley asks, noticing my uneasiness.

I shove her hand on my shoulder away feeling something deeper than the penetration of the mark.

I was heartbroken.

Everyone stands up to cheer for something lord Perry said and so do I.

I stand up from my chair drawing a lot of glances I smile grimly striding casually following her scent out the hall ignoring Riley who was calling out to me, and the ladies who kept trying to flirt but I was drawn to none hoping the pain in my chest won't lead to the outcome it represents.

"Dimi.." She moans. I fasten my pace walking just in time to watch the scene of Dimitri thrusting in and out of her with his fingers while kissing her and she lets him.

I stand back holding the wall for support trying to control my ragging breaths squinting my eyes shut to stop the tears from flowing.

Hailey, how could you!

After the night we had.

I see the dreams and life I planned for us crumble in ruins. I wanted her badly, but it drives me mad now she is with that son of a bitch she made her choice now I'll make mine.

Stomping off back to the party I stop a waiter grabbing two glasses of champagne, choking each of them down and grabbing more. Soon I couldn't feel the pain in my chest. I couldn't feel anything because the alcohol made me numb.

The liquor kicked in sooner making the room spin and I love the thrill.

Riley looked ravishing in that dress. I smile wickedly, why don't I repay the favor?

"Jaden you're drunk, she says stuttering.

"Ha!" I laugh in pain.

"So what?" I drag her into the room, ripping the top part and revealing her small boobs.

I stop and stare. She was nothing like Hailey.

"Dimi..." I hear her moan. I grab Riley sucking on her tits hungrily she arches her back giving me more access and tugging on my hair.

"Oh my, Jaden" she breathes.

I pull away hating the garment in between us.

"Strip!" I order which she quickly does like the hoe she is, wearing only purple panties.

"Turn around"

"You slutty bitch" I say, smacking her ass, ripping the panties, then fumbling with the button of my pants till they come loose.

I think of Hailey's body, her sensitive boobs, her p***y that tastes like nectar. It hardens me in seconds and I help the sensation by rubbing myself. "Jaden" Riley pleads, anticipating.

"Arch that back bitch" she bends low, raising her butt, spitting on my hand I rub on her ass hole.

"You want me don't you bitch"

"Yes Jaden" she begs and I don't hesitate to give her what she wants, I push her back, slamming my full length inside her she drops downwards shaking underneath me.

"Urgh" I thrust into her riding her crazy, my balls jiggling as I pound on her savagely letting my beast take a hold of me.

Yes, Jaden yes!

Hailey was coming, I could feel it making me pound harder into Riley waiting to see her.

"Jaden" she screams, gripping the headboard of the bed.

I turn to see Hailey. She looked broken, falling to her knees and clutching her chest. I almost stop but I remember Dimitri in her and continue smacking Riley as I keep pounding hard her pussy clench she is close. "Jaden" she screams, her cum dripping on her legs but I was not close to mine. I wanted Hailey as painful as I want to admit it.

Pulling out of Riley I walk up to Hailey and she is in tears.

"Why" she whispers, looking hopeless, the nerve of this girl.

A small part of me was hurt seeing her that way but a larger part was irritated.

Wearing back my pants I don't spare her a glance.

"Women" I mutter leaving the room.

HAILEY STEWARTS

I awaken gasping for air feeling my chest heavy.

The pain became more and more real bringing me back to consciousness.

I feel like I am dreaming but the pain is too goddamn real!

How...

“Ahh!" I scream rolling off the bed and hitting the ground with a painful thud.

It is the same one I perceive when Jaden is with anyone else.

Tears pool from my eyes as it accentuates.

It can't be real I say in denial Jaden has changed, hasn't he?

Getting off the floor it is a miracle my legs could hold me. I try to control my tears but they just don't stop.

I need you to trust me. I could hear him say he had begged me.

The mark of his change evident on my neck or is he just an excellent actor?

Holding on to the door frame I hear Riley moaning from inside.

The sight could damage me forever, it could leave me shattered. I may never be able to recover from it but I had to face it.

The door was slightly open. I stumble in as another crashing wave hits like someone was slamming a hammer into my chest.

It wasn't a daze, please tell me I'm still sleeping and this is a nightmare I cry.

I'm sure he couldn't hear through his foreplay.

His footsteps were getting louder towards me looking up at his blurry image.

"Why!" I cry not expecting a response. After all his promises, after the night we had, why the hell did he mark me only to betray me in the end? Why Jaden!

Why do

you keep making me look stupid even though over and over I picked you I didn't give up on us, getting slapped in the face hard each time.

I had no energy in me anymore. I was done fighting my ill faith.

I feel sick, hurt, betrayed, angry, and sad, and my emotions are all in a twirl because of this man.

"Women" he mutters walking out of the room.

Along the line, I realize he knows about Dimitri. This is my punishment for my infidelity letting my desire get the best of me, something I have always done when Jaden is the subject matter. Dimitri's voice plays in my head thick with emotion "When Jaden breaks your heart I'll be here waiting"

I glanced at Riley who was smiling wickedly.

"You can have him," I say, wiping my tears.

I pick my vulnerable wounded self off the floor, deep down I know I am going to regret my decision but it was the right one.

I hope...
