The Alpha’s Feisty Mate
Chapter 42: That went too far

Isabella POV

I walked towards the pack house, mentally preparing for what I was going to say to Alpha Drake.

My plan was to apologize sincerely for my behaviour, tell him that I won’t be his slave, but I could be a real assistant, I would be willing to help with meaningful tasks instead, like take care of some of the boring pack business documents that he has staked on his desk. I know for a fact that he has days worth of work piled up on there. I would be willing to do that as a compromise. If he refuses my compromise then I’ll take the dungeon punishment instead. I let out a sigh as I reached his bedroom door.

I was about to knock when I remembered, wait this is my bedroom to now, I’m not knocking. I opened the door and my eyes went wide in shock.

Jill sat at the edge of the bed with her legs apart completely n…aked while Alpha Drake stood close in front of her also completely n…aked!

They both looked towards me, Alpha Drake had a shocked expression on his face, while Jill smirked at me.

Bri pushed forward taking control briefly, long enough to let out a ferocious growl before I got control back.

I watched frozen in place with so many emotions swirling through me, anger and disbelief being at the top, but I also felt sad and my heart hurt.

Bri was ready to attack and kill. The jealousy coursing threw me was radiating.

I was having an internal battle with Bri over control and I wasn’t sure I would win, so I needed to leave, I ran down the hall as fast as I could incase Bri overpowered me. I know if she gets control she will kill Jill.

“Wait! Isabella!” I heard Alpha Drake yell behind me, but I didn’t stop.

I ran out of the pack house and kept running. I had no idea where I was going, I just kept going. I couldn’t even shift, because if I did, I knew Bri would go back looking for Jill. I didn’t want her b***d on my hands.

They were a couple before I arrived, I tried to reminded myself. I felt so hurt and I couldn’t understand why. I’m not his mate, he doesn’t belong to me, why am I acting and feeling so possessive over him?

Did he set that scenario up on purpose, to remind me I’m nothing to him? That’s cruel if he did, he took it too far.

Was Erik part of this plan when he came to replace me by the lake and told me that Alpha Drake was in his room showering? Knowing I would go there first looking for him.

I had stopped running and was walking in the forest, tears filled my eyes, my heart hurt so bad. At that moment I was distracted from my thoughts.

“That was fast.” I heard Erik’s voice speak.

I realized that I had ran back towards the lake and Erik was still there.

I stormed towards him, rage taking over my body. He stood up from his sitting position when he noticed my anger. I walked right up to him and without even thinking I slapped him.

His face turned to shock as he looked at me with wide eyes.

“You knew! Didn’t you? You set me up!” I growled at him.

“What are you talking about Isabella?” He asked with concerned.

“Don’t play stupid, you sent me to his room knowing exactly what I would walk in on.” I yelled.

“I swear Isabella, whatever happened in his room, I had no part of. I want this war between the two of you to end. I’m not lying.” He said with so much sincerity I started to believe him.

“ I’m sorry. It’s just he went to far this time and I lost it.” I said a little softer. I started to feel embarrassed at my overreaction.

“Sit Isabella, what happened?” He asked with concern, as we both sat down on a fallen tree trunk.

“I went back to talk with him, you know apologize for my behaviour and I found him and Jill n…aked together.” I said with a sad tone while looking down at the ground.

“You what?” He growled angrily. I didn’t say anything, I just looked at him shocked at his reaction. He’s one of Alpha Drake’s best friends and he’s loyal to the bone when it comes to the Alpha.

“I’m going to kill him. He did go to far. That’s just cruel.” He said with anger in his voice.

“Well I did start this game, I guess he gets the last laugh.” I said with a sad sigh.

“No Isabella, that’s not right, I’m going to talk with him, maybe it’s a misunders- – – -.” He tried to say before I interrupted him.

“He’s not my mate Erik, I have no claim on him. It’s just, lately he’s been acting almost like he wanted to be with me. He even made me move into his room, I really was starting to think he had feelings for me. I guess it’s a good thing he reminded me now that I’m nothing to him, you know, before I actually fell in love and had my heart broken.” I said and let out a dry chuckle, feeling stupid that I started to develop feelings for him.

“Isabella, he does like you, I know it. I can see it in his eyes, even when you piss him off. I’m sure he has an explana- – -“ he said before trailing off. I glanced at him and saw that his eyes were glazed over, he was getting a mind-link.

“It’s Alpha Drake he’s frantically trying to replace you.” Erik said and left out a sigh.

“Did you tell him where I am.” I asked.

“No” he replied looking at me with concerned eyes. I nodded and shot him a small thankful smile.

“I’m going to head back. He sounded panicked. I’ll let him know your ok, but that you need space.” He said to me as he stood up.

“Thanks Erik. I’m really sorry for slapping you.” I told him honestly.

“All good Isabella, no harm done.” He said giving me a reassuring smile before walking off.

I sat there alone with a storm of emotions running through me. What happens now?

Alpha Drake POV

After the coffee stunt I stayed in my office for an hour trying to get some paperwork done, but I was to angry to focus.

I hadn’t seen or heard from Isabella for a while so I mind-linked Erik to look for her, I was still angry with her so I figured having him look for her would be better then me going myself. I need to calm down before I talk to her.

I decided to head back to my room and have a shower. I really want to end this war that I have going on with Isabella, it’s not healthy for either of us. How can I do that?

When I got to my room I stripped off my clothes and hoped in the shower while continuing with my thoughts.

First off, I’ll tell her she won’t have to finish the week as my personal assistant. I know she will be happy and relieved at that, maybe then she won’t be so spiteful towards me. I want nothing more than for us to have a happy, healthy relationship. She’s my mate and I love her to death, even when she pisses me off to no end.

I was deep in thought when I finished my shower, I hoped out and grabbed a towel to dry off. When I was done I wrapped it around my wa!st and walked out into the bedroom.

I was completely shocked when I spotted Jill lying n…aked on the bed looking at me with a s…eductive smile.

“What the hell are you doing in here.” I growled at her, while storming towards the bed.

“I missed you, I thought I would show you what you’ve been missing out on, Alpha.” She said se…ductively while sitting on the edge of the bed and spreading her legs, giving me a clear view of her p***y.

“Get out” I growl as I got close to her and reached for her arm. At the same time she reached out and undid the towel on my wa!st causing it to fall to the ground.

Of course, at that moment, Isabella walked into the room. He eyes flew wide in shock at the sight.

Her eyes had gone black and I heard the loudest most possessive growl I’ve ever heard. I knew her wolf was trying to take control.

I saw so many emotions swirling in her eyes, anger, disbelief, jealousy and she looked so hurt. She had tears threatening to spill.

Before I could say anything she took off running down the hall. I yelled at her, trying to get her to stop, but she didn’t. I couldn’t even run after her, I was n..aked and still had Jill to take care of.

I turned to glared at Jill who didn’t seem phased by what had just happened.

“Get the f**k out of my room. I don’t want you, don’t you dare pull anything like this again or I’ll punish you.” I threatened and her head lowered and tilted to the side in submission.

“I’m sorry Alpha.” She said lowly as she stood putting on her robe and left my room.

What the f**k am I going to do. This is really bad. Isabella walked in at the absolute worst moment, I thought to myself. I rubbed my hands over my face and let out a sign of frustration.

Where did she go. Panic started to set in. I hope she doesn’t do anything irrational. I started to get worried.

I mind-link Clair first, but she hadn’t heard from Isabella.

I then mind-linked Erik next, asking if he had seen her.

‘Ya I saw her, she’s fine and she wants space.’ He replied to my mind-link with a short tone.

‘I need to know where she is, something happened, I really need to talk to her.’ I said with panic and concern clear in my voice.

‘She needs space Alpha, give it to her.’ He replied shortly ending the mind-link.

I was losing my mind. What if she doesn’t want anything to do with me after that. Our relationship was already on rocky ground. What she saw didn’t look good, will she believe me when I tell her the truth?

I made my way to my office, I couldn’t seem to sit still, my mind was racing with worry.

Devon was also losing his mind. Is she going to reject us. It’s almost her birthday and I hurt her in the worst possible way.

I need to fix this and I need to fix it now.
