Alpha's Cursed And Broken Mate chapter 15
I wasn’t about to let him feel like he was the victim here. “First of all, Tyler is not the pack alpha. Second, he doesn’t have the fucking mark or he’d have shown it to everyone.”“Nobody else has the mark so he’ll be alpha by birth,” Kyle said. “Look, I know you don’t deserve this, but just stop fighting.”“You’re a prick, you know that? You act like you’re trying to help me but you’re just as bad as them,” I said through gritted teeth.“You know that’s not the case,” he said. “I’m nothing like them.”“Oh yeah? Then why didn’t you stand up for me when I was ten and Tyler gave me two black eyes? Where were you when Julian pushed me down the stairs or broke my ribs? Or the time you stood by and watched while Tyler held me under the water in the lake until I passed out?”“I’m the one who dragged you to shore,” he said.“Doesn’t make you a good person,” I said. “It makes you a weak follower. You stood by and did nothing. One time of saving me doesn’t undo all the hurt you were silent fo

Someone was talking and my head was pounding. My mouth felt like sandpaper. What the fuck was going on?The memories of the cave and Tyler came flooding back like a tidal wave. I should be dead. But I didn’t feel dead. I felt like shit. I was pretty sure if I were dead, I’d be feeling nothing, right?I could feel the ground under me and the breeze moving the air. The smell of campfire and pine filled my nostrils. It was clear I was outside and it seemed dark enough through my eyelids to be nighttime. There was something covering me, a blanket maybe?I kept my eyes closed and listened for the voices. Had Tyler and his friends come back for me? Were they going to finish me themselves or had they brought me back to save me? Was this all sort of some fucked up head-trip?A chill went through me when I realized I didn’t know these voices. I would recognize Tyler’s voice anywhere. I hated that I could, but it was true. And this was not Tyler.“She’s awake,” someone said.Silence fell around

As soon as I released Sheila’s hand, I rose to my feet and started patting myself down, feeling for injuries. I felt my shoulder, my wrist, my head. My hair was matted with dried blood. My arms and legs were covered in dirt. Some of it stuck there by blood from phantom wounds. There were no signs of the bite marks or broken limbs.I knew shifters were fast healers, but even my injuries would have taken time. “How long have I been here?”“We found you last night. You’ve been sleeping for almost twenty-four hours,” Sheila confirmed.That didn’t seem long enough. “How long ago was the full moon?”“Four days,” Sheila said. “Is that when you fell?”I nodded.“You were wandering in your wolf form for a while,” she said.“Why are you here?” Sexy Voice asked.“Can you give her a few minutes before you interrogate her? She’s been through a lot.” Sheila turned to me. “Ignore Alec, he’s an asshole.”“What about me?” The other man asked. I’d almost forgotten he was there.“That’s Malcom, he’s als

I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Of course my carefully packed bag and all my cash was gone. Tyler had made sure he’d left me with nothing. Not that he thought I’d survive the cave. “I’ll figure it out.”“No, you won’t,” Alec said. “It’s a three day walk to the nearest town. And that’s for someone who’s healthy and has proper supplies.”“I’ll be fine but I appreciate your concern,” I said.“If you say so,” he said with a shrug.I shook my head as I turned away. Of course I managed to step on something sharp immediately. “Fuck me.”I grabbed my foot and pulled the stick out of my skin. Could I possibly go more than twenty-four hours without bleeding?“Like I said, you’re not going to make it on your own,” Alec said.“Thank you for the astute observation.” Limping, I carefully stepped forward, not turning back to the group.“Alec, do the right thing,” Sheila pleaded.“She’s practically the poster child for our community,” Malcom said.“Get back here.” Alec sighed.Accepting

I turned away from her, not in the mood for more conversation, but I wasn’t sleepy. I’d just woken from a very long nap and I was surrounded by strange shifters I didn’t know.Soon, I heard the soft, deep breathing coming from Sheila and the snores from Malcom. I turned on my back and stared up at the sky. Stars were visible in the breaks from the trees and the moon was nearly full. If I had shifted, would I be able to do it again?Crickets chirped and the wind rustled the trees. The sounds of the forest were calming and peaceful, and I almost felt like I could let my guard down. I closed my eyes and tried to feel for my inner wolf. I felt the same as I always had. There was nothing else there. Just the pathetic girl with the smart mouth who always said the wrong thing.Disappointed, I opened my eyes and looked around. Alec was sitting on a log, staring into the dark woods. There was no way I was going to sleep while he was awake.I walked over to him and sat down on the log, careful

My foot was healed by the time we started for Alec’s camp. I tried to swallow back the excitement bubbling inside me. I’d healed from the injuries sustained before and during the cave, but I’d shifted. Until this moment, I wasn’t sure I’d retained the magic. I didn’t want to allow myself to believe that I could shift on my own, but maybe it was possible.Sheila, Malcom, and Alec each had a backpack on their backs. Their sleeping bags were rolled and attached to the bottom of the pack. I got the sense they did this often.“So you three were on patrol?” I asked.“We had some reports of talismans in the woods,” Sheila said.“She doesn’t need to know,” Alec said.“Witches?” I asked.“Not your business,” Alec said.“I would rather know what I’m getting into. Besides, who am I going to tell? You made it clear that trying to get through the woods to civilization on my own is a death sentence,” I reminded him.“Ignore him, he’s just pissed we didn’t find anything,” Sheila said.“Another wild-

My face and neck felt hot and I knew my cheeks were likely pink. Either these shifters were lying to me, or my pack had lied to me. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what was true.“She thinks we’re going to kill her and eat her or skin her alive or some bullshit,” Alec said.“You really think that?” Sheila asked, her tone pained.“I don’t think you’ll hurt me.” I really didn’t. They could have already if that was their plan. “They taught us a lot of things in Wolf Creek that don’t seem to be true. I thought all shifters needed a pack. That it was harder being on your own.”Even though that was my plan, I never considered that I counted into that theory since I couldn’t actually shift.“It is harder on your own,” Malcom agreed. “That’s why we live in a community. We have companionship but we don’t have the burden of a pack.”“We prefer to be around others like us. It makes things less complicated,” Sheila explained. “But packs have systems, rules, expectations.”“You don’t have rules?” I was li

A group of children ran past us, nearly colliding into Malcom. He jumped to the side and the kids shouted apologies as they continued on in their game.Under some of the trees, I caught sight of hammocks, lounge chairs, and more tables. Little groups were gathered all around. They were talking or playing with children or cooking food on grills.It was the complete opposite of the way Wolf Creek felt. I’d grown up with what could only be explained as forced community. This was different. It felt authentic, peaceful, welcoming.People waved to Sheila and Malcom and none of them seemed to care that someone new was with them. I wondered if that was due to Alec’s presence. Then I realized he wasn’t with us anymore. A little weight of disappointment dropped into the pit of my stomach. I should be thrilled that he was gone, but there was something intriguing about him. I told myself it was the safety he could provide, but that wasn’t true. Even my own fight or flight instincts seemed to be t
