The Alpha’s Feisty Mate
Chapter 74: I won’t be your Luna

Isabella POV

The rest of day went by quickly. Alpha Drake kept trying to get close to me, but I wasn’t having it. Enough is enough, he knows what I need from him for this relationship to work and until he treats me as his equal, he’ll be sleeping alone.

I have bigger problems on my plate, at the moment. I need to come up with a plan to get Clair, Trish and myself off the territory, without being detected.

It was now, early evening and I decided to go replace Clair. I know, trying to talk with Trish alone will be difficult, specially since Erik has been glued to her. I think our best option, will be to pass her a secret note, that has the plan details.

I made my way to Clair room and knocked. A few seconds later I heard “come in”, so I opened the door.

Clair was sitting on the bed and appeared to be alone. She smiled, when she saw that it was me.

“Hey, where’s Jared?” I asked.

“He had some pack business to take care of, something about night patrol.” Clair replied.

“Perfect, I wanted to talk to you about the plan.” I said, as I made my way towards the bed and sat down beside Clair.

“Yes, and we need to figure out, how to relay the plan to Trish. Erik, won’t let her out of his sight.”Clair said, with a thoughtful frown.

“Hmmm, I know.” I said, while also deep in thought.

“Ok, so this is what I’m thinking, we need to leave midday at 3:00pm. The guys have meetings in the afternoon, so that should give us a few hours head start, before they realize we’re gone. We can take one of the SUV’s, it will be harder for them to track us.” I told her.

“What about Trish, how do we get her away from Erik?” Clair asked, sounding concerned.

“I’m going to arrange, for another warrior to conduct the teen training tomorrow, instead of us. We need to discreetly slip a note to Trish, during morning training. It will have all the informing regarding our plan and instructions for her to escape Erik’s tight hold.” I said and paused for a second, before continuing.

“She needs to tell Erik, that she wants to help us train the teens in the afternoon. Erik will be thrilled at the idea of her warming up to us and won’t think anything of it. When training is about to begin at 3:00pm, instead of training we take off.” I finished, sounding confident with my plan. I could see a slight smile on Clair’s face as she processed my words.

“That’s genius, the guys won’t suspect a think, we just need to make sure that whoever is our replacement for training, doesn’t tell anyone.” Clair said.

“Ya, I’ll wait till right before training is suppose to start, around 2:30pm, before instructing one of the warriors to take over. That way, Alpha Drake, Erik and Jared, will already be in their meeting. They will be busy for hours before they even realize we are gone. I think, this is going to work.” I said to Clair, excitedly.

“I think your right. Now, how do we get a note to Trish?” Clair asked, curiously.

“Tomorrow morning at training, I’m confident that Alpha Drake, will pair her up, with either you or me. I’ll bring a note with instructions and whichever one of us ends up paired up with her, can pass along the note discretely.” I replied.

“Yes, this is going to work. I just know it.” Clair said, sounding confident with a hint of excitement.

“Fingers crossed. You sure, you still want to do this? It’s risky and your mate might not be happy with you.” I asked, with concern in my voice.

“I’m coming no matter what, Jared knows what you mean to me, he’ll forgive me when we get back.” She replied, sounding slightly unsure of her own words. I gave her a small smile, I was appreciative to have an amazing friend like her.

“Just know, if you were to change your mind before tomorrow, I won’t hold it against you.” I said, with sincerity.

“I know, now let’s write that note that we’re going to slip to Trish, tomorrow morning.” Clair said, changing the subject.

We wrote down a note for Trish, that would inform her of the plan and also provide instructions for her to follow.

When we were done, I put the note in my pocket. It was good timing because, as I was slipping it into my pocket, the bedroom door opened and Jared walked in.

“Oh, hey Isabella.” Jared said, looking surprised to see me.

“Hey, I just had to discuss tomorrow’s teen training agenda with Clair, I was just leaving.” I told Jared and gave him a smile, as I made my way towards the door.

“Have a goodnight, I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” I said, with a smile.

“Goodnight.” They said in unison, as I walked out the door and shut it behind me.

I made my way back to my own room. I wondered if Alpha Drake would be there, or not.

Once I got there, I opened there door and found Alpha Drake sitting on the bed, waiting. He was looking at me and I could see desperation in his eyes.

I didn’t say anything and walked to the dresser, I grabbed a pair of fresh panties and a tank top, before headed to the bathroom and shutting the door behind me.

I stripped out of my clothes and had a quick shower. When I was done, I grabbed a towel and dried myself off before putting on the clean pair of panties and the tank top.

I walked out of the bathroom and I found that Alpha Drake was still seated in the same spot and his eyes were glued on me. I could see the longing and desire within them.

I started walking towards the bedroom door, without saying anything.

“Where are you going” I heard Alpha Drake ask, from behind me. I stopped in my tracks and turned my head to look at him. I could see the pain in his eyes.

“I told you Drake, until you treat me like I should be treated, your equal, I don’t want to be around you. I’m sleeping in my old room.” I said, with a short tone.

“That’s not fair, Isabella, please don’t do this. Things had really been going good between us.” He said with desperation, as he stood from the bed.

“You’ve known all along who I am, I’m not going to change because your possessive nature can’t handle a strong and capable mate.” I spat back and he remained silent. I could see he wanted to say more, but he looked like he was having an internal battle. I decided, to continue walking towards the door.

“Your Luna ceremony is schedule to happen in two days.” Alpha Drake said with a sad low voice and I paused once again.

“I suggest you cancel it. I won’t be your Luna if things don’t change.” I said dryly, without looking back at him.

I opened the door and left the room, closing the door behind me. I let out a breath, that I didn’t even realize I was holding in.

I knew deep down, what I was requesting of Alpha Drake was right, but it still broke my heart to see him so sad and defeated. I love the man, I want nothing more than to be his Luna, but I also need to remain true to who I am and that’s a strong, independent she-wolf, who doesn’t let anyone control her, not even her mate.

I made my way into my old room and climbed into bed. I had so many emotions running through my body, I was mostly hurt and sad regarding my current relationship with Alpha Drake, but I was also nervous about how he would react tomorrow, when he replaces out that once again, I went against him and left the territory.

Hopefully we can get on the same page, after the Alpha Rogue is taken care of. I think this pack would only thrive, with two strong leadings running it together.

It didn’t come easily, but eventually sleep took over.

Alpha Drake POV

I was waiting for Isabella in our bedroom, when the door opened and she walked in.

She didn’t say anything to me, she headed for the dresser and grabbed some clothes, before she went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

I let out a frustrated sigh, she won’t even talk to me.

How can I fix this? I’ll have to try and get her to talk, once she comes out.

I do see her as my equal, I just struggle with the idea of her do anything, that could put her in harms way.

Fifteen minutes later, the bathroom door opened. Isabella walked out, in a black tank top and a pair of panties. It was her usual sleep attire. I didn’t mind it, she looked sexy as hell, even now while she’s mad at me.

She started walking towards the bedroom door, when I asked her where she was going. It tore my heart apart, when she told me, she was going to sleep in her old rooms

I tried to reason with her, but she wasn’t budging. I even brought up the Luna ceremony and my stomach sank, when she told me to cancel it.

I need to fix this, I’m not canceling that ceremony, Isabella, will be my Luna.

I watched as Isabella left the room and closed the door behind her. Leaving me alone with my thoughts.

My wolf was going berserk in my head, we need our mate by our side, this is torture for the both of us.

‘Do something, we can’t lose her.’ Devon growled in my head.

‘I don’t know what to do or say.’ I replied, letting out a frustrated huff.

‘Let her have a damn say in things, why is it so difficult for you?” Devon asked, with an irritated tone.

‘I will, starting tomorrow, I’ll let her have a say, even regarding The Rogue Alpha.” I replied, with determination. Devon just huffed in frustrating, as he retreated to the back of my head.

I will win her back, even if it’s hard for me to reign in my possessive side, I have to, or I’ll lose her. I can’t let that happen, she’s my everything.
