Chapter 109 – Morgan

I rushed out of the house, already running late for my hair appointment. I dashed down the steps ofthe porch when I heard a car door slam shut at the house next door and instinctively, my eyesflicked to their driveway, only to see the familiar black jeep of Miles. My heart dropped. He hadavoided me since that night by the lake. Never giving me an explanation as to why he had donewhat he did. Other than a one–lined

message.

Sorry. But, you were never Meant for me. We know that. I am going on tour to replace a chosen mate.Time for us to move on.

My heart had felt like it had broken at the sight of the message. I had clung to the hope he wouldcome around to the idea of e would come around to the idea of being with me. Wondering if what hehad said in his message was just words to hurt me. It was a tactic Miles often used. He seemed togain pleasure in seeing others suffer; and he had a vicious tongue at times. I knew he was far froma decent guy, yet I missed him terribly. The times I read and re–read his message was crazy. Itdidn’t make sense to me. He was an Alpha. He would never have to take a chosen mate. He wouldbe the one making the rules.

But, then when, I had then heard of the plans being made by the Alpha, my Dad and my brothertoo, of a tour for Miles to go around the packs of the country to meet potential mates, I

realized what he had said had been the truth. He had decided, or been told, he should replace achosen mate before coming Alpha, and he would be returning home with a prospective new mate. Ihad been well and truly been discarded.

I was never going to be with him, and I felt my world crumbling around me. I had felt so alive whenhe had begun to show me attention. Yes, he was older than me,

32 from being a teenager,

I had thought he was truly amazing. A real heartthrob. Like so

many young she–wolves… well, probably not just the young she- wolves, if rumors were anything togo by… Miles liked the ladies, and the ladies liked him.

So, when he began to pay me compliments, and seek me out at events, I felt privileged. I naivelybelieved he must want me. Must be interested in me. However, now with how he has treated me, Ican not help but wonder if he had ulterior motives. My head had been all over the place since hehad been treating me like this, and even more since the event at the lake…

However, I had since heard that Miles had returned from this so- called tour early, having orderedhis Dad that it was not what he wanted. I was shocked. Everyone knew that Miles did not like beingtold what to do, but for him to stand up to his Dad in such a way was crazy. But, it was typical Miles.He was getting tired of being kept waiting for his Alpha title, and he was beginning to show it in hisactions. But, hearing he had refused to take a chosen mate… well, let me just say, it gave me hopethat he may consider me again… I could be a chosen mate if he would only Hook close enough! Iknow I could make a perfect mate for him…

But, I had not seen him since he had returned. Scared of how he might react to me, consideringhow he had treated me. All until now. His eyes zoned in on me, as I almost stumbled on the last

step of the porch, quickly steadying myself. I saw him smirk. I felt his eyes flickering across mybody, dressed in short denim cut–offs and a little white cropped top, a lot of my body was ondisplay, exactly the way he liked…

“Begging for it, aren’t you Morgan dressing like that?” he sneered, leaning against his car, and Iturned to look at him with disgust.

“What is that meant to mean?”

Was he really commenting on my clothes?! The sun was shining and the weather so warm, so I wasdressed accordingly. Who was he to say otherwise?

“Exactly what it sounded like.” he chuckled. “Dressing like a hooker, you may as well be wanderingaround the pack offering your services to the men.”

His words hit me like a spear to my heart, but I did all I could to act like they had not bothered me. “Iwill dress how I like. And I am perfectly covered up. Nothing on display except my legs, belly andarms. All the vital places are covered, jackass.” I snarled.

His gaze darkened at my sharpness of tone, which I rarely took with him, but I would not have himinsult me like that. This was how so many of the girls in the pack would dress. It was in fashion rightnow. Not to mention the weather was so warm…

“Oh, does the truth hurt, does it, whore? You know you are desperate for it. You were ready to giveit up for me. I bet any damn wolf in here could have you on a fucking plate if he told you the rightthing.” He moved closer, venom in his voice -making me shudder. “You know what that is called,Morgan?

Easy. So fucking easy.”

“Easy, huh?” I laughed. “So easy, that you never had me.”

I began to walk away, not willing to stand and continue being insulted by him any longer. He wasthe worst. But he dashed after me and soon joined me by my side, taking a tight grip upon my arm.“Don’t even flatter yourself darling, if I wanted you; I would have had you. Just like that.” And heclicked his fingers to show me. “Difference was, I never really wanted you.”

I felt my heart clench in pain. How can he say that? The things he used to say to me, he can’t havelied about it all… he had said so much…

“I wouldn’t be too sure.” I rolled my eyes at him.

“You suddenly seem to be awfully confident little Morgan.” He tugged at my hair. “You off to meet anew man? Is that why you are all dressed up, like some cheap hooker?”

“I am not dressed like a fucking hooker. These are just the clothes I like! Clothes that arefashionable right now. Clothes that lots of she–wolves are wearing, you should know,

considering half the women you have slept with wear this sort of thing.” I snapped.

“Well, my new mate will not be dressing like that when she arrives next week. She will berespectable. Outside, of course, in the bedroom, my wife will be like a hooker. Doing all I ask ofher…” he tells me with a smirk, as my heart dropped at the mention of a new mate… they had saidthe tour had been called off… so how had he found a new mate? My heart clenched in pain… hewould be married? And the look of pleasure upon Miles’s face told me he was enjoying seeing mesuffer at
