The Rebirth of the Betrayed Alpha

"Time has gone by so quickly" She whispers, pushing the thought out of her mind.

"Yea and I can't still believe that I am here with you"

"I'm not always fearless" she blurts

"What?" He throws a glance at her while fixing his eyes back on the road "What did you say?"

"I'm not always fearless" Tears crowd her eyes.

"You aren't?"

"Yes Nathaniel, I get scared too and sometimes I wish to have someone to be next to me"

"I am next to you"

"Is not what I mean"

"I meant when I get scared"

"When were you scared?"

"When we first met"

Bewildered, Nathaniel was at a loss for words, he could still remember that day so clearly like it just happened a moment ago. Despite observing her Intently, he didn't see a trace of fear, he must have known she has had stories about him from

her pack.

"You were scared"

"Yes I was scared because I never imagined meeting you let alone being your mate"

"I didn't know, I thought you were not scared since you didn't fail to tell me how you feel about getting into a marriage agreement and told me not to stay off your business"

"I was scared of course but still I knew I needed to tell you that"

"Why did you say that?"

"I wasn't prepared to have a mate, to be honest, I had already given up on having a mate"

"I never gave up on meeting you Alexandra, I needed you and I knew that someday I would meet you, although I was reluctant about approaching you on that day"

"Yet our wolves howled to each other, it couldn't just wait"

"Yea it couldn't. Have you ever been scared again?" Nathaniel asks concerned, he hoped he would always be there to protect her whenever she was scared.

"The day of the Alpha election ceremony"

"What were you scared about?"

"I wasn't sure if I was going to defeat Adam and that made me scared but after I came closer. I felt stronger and at that moment, I only wished to beat the crap out of him and turn him into a laughing stock"

Nathaniel smiles, he never underestimated what Alexandra could do.

"You sure humiliated him"

"Not the way I wanted" she frowns remembering what her pack member had told her earlier.

"I'm sure I didn't do much, after awhile is going to die down and no one was going to remember how he lost to a female Alpha"

"I'm sure no one would forget so quickly"

"How do you mean?"

"Guerrero pack is not a small pack, news has spread like wildfire and so no one was going to forget this ceremony. At least not while you are still the Alpha"

"Right I'm still the Alpha" she muttered, remembering why she was heading to the riverside with Nathaniel in the first place. She wanted to talk to him while she still could.

"Don't worry you gave a show, and as for Adam Hawthorn, that was a red letter day for him" He chuckles causing Alexandra to smile, looking not the window, seeing Nathaniel driving through the familiar road, driving past giant oak, she could feel the scent of fresh water flowing from the big River to all corners of the city as it supplies water to Guerrero pack and other small neighboring packs.

"We are here" Nathaniel hits the brakes, lowering the back windows of his jeep and Alexandra sees it was different from the car he has been driving.

"What happened to your Mustang GT?"

"I got bored so I packed"

"I don't like this jeep"

"Why?"

"Is ugly"

"You so blunt right now"

"Says the Alpha who doesn't have a filter in his mouth"

"I have a filter, Alexandra"

"Since when? You talk about strange things without fearing who was around"

"What strange things?"

"The things you talk about" she states, pushing the urge to say the name.

"I don't know the strange things"

Without having to guess, Alexandra knew he was messing around with her and she wasn't going to fall for it.

"What do you mean you don't know"

"I don't, give me a clue or I will be a lost bunny for life"

"I meant the words you said at the council building and other times"

"What word is that?" Nathaniel feigns to be lost

"Are you messing with me right now?"

"Why will I do that?"

"You know what I'm talking about Nathaniel Starkov"noveldrama

"No, I don't!" He states firmly and Alexandra observes her, she couldn't tell what

he was thinking but no emotion showed that he was trying to mess with her.

"I meant kiss, you bluntly say it out loud, without minding who was around"

"Really? Well that's different"

"How so?"

"Is different since we kissed and are mates"

"You're unbelievable you know, that's your theory"

"Not a theory but facts I gathered while observing two werewolves who are mates"

"Your observations are wrong, you probably picked out the wrong type of werewolf, was it an Omega?"

"It was a beta"

"He wasn't good"

Nathaniel laughs glancing around the quiet surrounding, he could only the thumping beat of her heart, moving in a pleasant manner that calms his heart, trailing his hand up his chest and moving his fingers to his chest listening to the beat of his heart as well while Alexandra gapes at him wondering what he was doing.

"What are you doing right now?" She gives him a mysterious look

"What does it look like?"

"I don't know, are you in pain?"

Nathaniel's jaw drops, and he couldn't believe she would dare ask such questions,

this was the first move werewolves made to their mate. They learned the beating

of their heart, that way they would recognize themselves anywhere.

"You don't know what I'm doing"

"I don't Nathaniel"

"That's weird, I was listening to your heartbeat and trying to know if mine beats

the same way, that way I can be able to recognize anywhere"

"How would you know the beat of my heart"

"That's why I'm Alpha Nathaniel" he winks at her and she rolls his eyes at him.

"How arrogant"

Nathaniel laughs. "By the way, why are we here?"

"I want us to talk Nathaniel" she states sternly causing the emotion on his face to quickly fade away, not liking the sound of her voice.
