Alphas Broken Mate
Chapter 58

Andrew's POV

As I was walking out of the office I saw Brandon's smile at Lina and it made me want to punch his face in. I don't like being back here. Lina lived here for 4 weeks with another man. And now this guy? I don't trust anyone here. I decide to wait outside the door for this meeting to be over, I lean back against the wall. I'm getting used to bossy Lina. It was pretty hot to see her in there asking questions, hot! A few people pass me in the hall as I'm waiting for the door to open. Sheesh what are they talking about? Just then the door opens and Brandon walks out with a big smile ine his face. That guy annoys me. Lina and I spend the rest of the night trying to bring order to this pack. After a few hours Lina starts yawning. After a few more hours she's passed out on the couch. I let her sleep, she's definitely pushing herself. I was making headway in all this mess so I kept at it. But after an hour I was seeing double and needed to sleep. I got up and picked up Lina in my arms. She snuggled into me and I smiled. I carried her to our room and tucked her into bed. I crawled into bed with her and wrapped my arms around her. I breathed in her scent and fell asleep.

Catalina's POV

When I wake up I am surrounded by my mates scent.

"Lina, you should come train with us today. You'll get to see the warriors and Brandon in action." I hear Jet in my head. I groan because I know he's right.

"I'll be right down." I tell him. I slip out of bed trying not to wake Andrew. I have no idea what time we went to sleep. I grab some training clothes and head out of the room. Jet is standing out my door waiting for me.

"Just like old times." He says with a smirk. I hit him on the shoulder and we head out.

"How did training go yesterday?" I ask him.

'Well let's just say they are well acquainted with laps now." He says and we chuckle.

"Oh hey." I stop him.

"I want you to be my beta for this pack in the mean time. I made Brandon the Gamma. I have a few ideas for who I want in certain positions, but until I can trust the people here I need someone I trust under me. What do you say?" I ask him. "I would be honored." He says.

"Good. And if you have any ideas let me know. I have a feeling I'm going to need all the help I can get." I say as we make our way into the training field. As we enter I stand next to Jet as he addresses the pack. I am the Alpha here, I need to see what shape they are in and what they need to work on. We start off with a warm up and move to group work outs. Jet instructs a new move, he is a really good training instructor. He's firm but encouraging. He makes it fun but is serious about the important things. I know he wanted to come back here with us to take his mind off Julie, and I hope it's the right thing. Goddess what do I do about Julie.

"She needs to be held accountable." I hear Helia say.

"She is Jet's mate. And Andrew's sister. Maybe just banish her? Kayla chimes in.

"But then I would be banishing Jet." I add. Helia and Kayla are very different, it's like having multiple personalities in your head. They start bickering back and forth. A lot of times I have to push them back because it's crowded in my head. "Lina?" I look up and just now notice Jet standing in front of me looking concerned.

"Sorry. My head, it's a little crowded." I say

"Just push them back when you need to. You looked like you were in pain."

I sigh.

"I know. I'm ok. Have we gotten to sparring yet?" I ask with a smile.

"Yes, we'll partner up." He says. I nod. Jets POV

I give some instructions on the new move and walk around to make sure everyone is doing it correctly and safely. I look over at Lina and she has this pained expression on her face, like someone with a migraine. I walk over to her to get her attention. "Lina?" I say and her face relaxes and looks up at me.

"Sorry. My head. It's a little crowded." She says. I can only imagine. My wolf can be a nightmare in my mind. But ever since Julie has been arrested he has been quiet. I know he's worried and scared for his mate. I have also been thinking about rejecting her which is another reason he's quiet.

"Just push them back when you need to. You looked like you were in pain." I say.

She's been getting this face more and more lately and it's concerning. I don't know how she handles two forms.

"I know. I'm ok. Have we gotten to sparring yet?" She asks looking very eager to beat me up.

"Yes, we'll partner up." I say. She nods and gets in her stance. I give more instructions to the warriors and they all pair up. I'm not doing any challenges at the moment, because I'm trying to get everyone back up to where they are supposed to be. Lina and I spar for awhile. Lina is getting faster and stronger everytime we spar. Ever since she became the High Alpha her strength has only increased. She's stronger and faster then me now. I wonder if I know someone stronger for her to fight? As I'm thinking that she throws me to the ground, but I take her with me. We both land on our backs and I let out a groan. She laughs.

"I think we can stop for today." She says.

"Tired of getting your a*s kicked?" I say and I groan to stand up. She has been kicking mine the whole time. She laughs and hops up.

"Yeah old man. I'm tired." She claps me on the shoulder.

"Old man? How old do you think I am." I ask

"Well with the noises you've been making I'm thinking 60?" She says with a laugh.

"Ha ha ha. So funny Lina. Let's get breakfast." I say as we walk out of the training facility.

"They are getting better. They didn't fall to far behind. They should be ready in a week." I tell her and she nods. She's a bit quiet. I reach out and take her arm to stop her. She turns to me.

"Hey what's wrong?" I ask.

"I've just been having a hard time trying to figure out what to do about Julie. Earlier in training that's what they were discussing. And I know I shouldn't be talking to you about it. I'm worried about you." She takes my hand. She looks at me so concerned. I remember how guarded she was when she first got here, but over time she started trusting me and now made me her beta. Even if I didn't give her a vow of protection, I would give my life for hers.

"I have also had a hard time with Julie. I fear I must reject her. She threatened your life and the safety of every child of the Moon Goddess. I don't know if I could ever be with her again." I'm surprised I say all of that, and mean it. My wolf doesn't yell at me this time. He has to know I'm right. She looks so shocked but then understanding. She takes both my hands in hers and sighs.

"I fear her life is on the line Jet. And it's not just you it's Andrew and his family that will also be affected. I just want to make the right decision. I'm so sorry this is happening to you." She says and she wraps her arms around my waist and hugs me. I'm sorry this is happening to me too.

"I'm glad we are friends." She says and I smile.

"Me too Lina." When she lets me go I feel like a train has hit me.

Andrew's POV

When I woke up Lina wasn't in bed. I got dressed and went down for some coffee. When I walked downstairs the warriors were coming back from training. That must be where she is. I step outside to see where she was, and I see her and Jet talking. I see her grab his hand and talk more. Then she grabs both his hands. I feel the anger rolling off of me. Then she hugs him. That's it. I've had it with this guy and my mate. I take off running right at him. When they release the hug I slam right into Jet at full speed. I knock him to the ground and im on top of him. I growl at him as he takes shallow breaths, good I knocked the wind out of him.

"Get your hands off my mate." I growl at him. He wheezes.

"Dude is that what this is about?" He says

"I knew I shouldn't have brought you." I say.

"It's not up to you. It's up to Lina." He says. He's right but I don't care.

"Maybe if you paid more attention to your own mate instead of mine she wouldn't be in a cell." I hiss at him.

"F*ck you. You left her too." He says finally regaining his breath.

"I want you to leave, now." I say. I don't want to see his face. I don't want him near Lina. He has always put me on edge. Everyone sees it, why can't Lina.

"I can't leave. Im her Beta." He says. I look over at Lina, she has made her way to where we are.

"You made him your beta." I growled louder then I thought and she jumped back. It reminded me of the time on the plane when I scared her on her first day as my mate. She recovered better now and her face shifted to pissed off. "Yes I did. Now get off him!" Her face is mad.

"How could you make him your beta. After Julie?" I say. Then I realize she and I haven't really talked about it.

"Andrew get off of him now." I feel a ping in my heart. I look down at Jet. He's fully recovered and could push me off but he's not. I get off Jet and he gets up quickly. She looks him over with a soft face.

"Are you ok?" She asks him. F*ck him. He's too familiar with her. He just nods and heads back to the pack house. I am fuming mad. And I know my mate is too. She folds her arms in front on herself. She isn't looking at me.

"Do you want to talk about what just happened?" She says without looking at me. Am I wrong?

"No he wants our mate." Great now I agree with my wolf.

"Yes." I say. She looks at me surprised. She faces me and waits.

"He is too familiar with you. How can everyone else see he wants you, but you? If he had paid more attention to Julie she wouldn't have to die." I say.

Catalina's POV

We haven't talked about Julie and this is my fault. We've just been so busy and I'm afraid to be a bad High Alpha. Everyone is so hurt by Julie's actions and I don't know how or if I can fix it.

"And then you make him your beta without telling me?" He's pacing. I let him finish.

"Andrew." I say calmly and he looks up.

"I know you are worried about your sister and we haven't spoken about it yet and I'm sorry. But you can't put all of this on Jet. You know that nothing has or will happen between Jet and myself.

I made him my beta this morning, he used to be the beta here already and I trust him. He's a perfect fit for the position. I'm sorry I didn't tell you yet. I love you, but this reaction to Jet can't happen again. We have such a mess to clean up in this pack and such a short amount of time." I take a few steps to him. I have no idea what he's thinking.

Andrew's POV

I. Am. A. Complete. i***t. Lina, again, is completely correct. I don't know why I let Jet get under my skin so much. I sigh.

"I do blame him for Julie. I can't help it. She's my little sister and I don't know who she is anymore." I don't look at her. My wolf needs to let off steam so I turn away and walk into the woods and shift. I take off running. I don't know the pack lands too well but I don't run far. I come to a lake and walk around it before dropping onto the forest floor. I smell her before I see her, she must have followed me. Her wolf comes and lays next to me.

"Andrew." Lina finally says after a while of silence.

"Andrew I can't do this without you." She says. I know she's right. Just then a loud crack like thunder and a flash of light. We jump up and look around us, the sun is shining bright so it's not a storm. Then I see a man standing in the middle of the lake. He walks towards us. When he gets close I growl at him.

"No need for that. I'm not here to hurt you, yet." He says to us.

Yet? His voice booms like thunder. He is very tall and intimidating.

"Who are you?" Lina asks.

"I am Zeus of course." The man says.
