Chapter 5 - what you are

Alexandria POV

 " hey babe did you see my gray hoodie? "Luke say searching the closet with his back turned to me

 “You mean the gray one with red writings on it?" I answer knowing full well which one he is talking about.

 "Yup, that one, the only gray one I have and you know that" he says peeking his head out of the closet looking at me with one eyebrow raised.

 "No, nop I don't know which one you are talking about" I answer all innocent with the biggest duo eyes I could master. 

"Funny coz you are wearing it" he says walking towards me with narrowed eyes then picks me up and go toward the bed.

 "Still don't know what you are talking about” I say giggling as he puts me down on the bed putting both his hands on each side of my hips.

 “Babe, take off my hoodie or I'll take it off for you, that’s my favorite hoodie" he says all serious now.

 "Nop that’s my hoodie now and it’s MY favorite" I say sticking my tongue out wiggling out of his arms and hiding to the door. 

I hear the alarm sound, I wake up from my beautiful memory smiling till reality hits me that it’s just a memory and my smile flatters.

 I get out of bed and get the gray hoodie out of the closet.

 It’s the only thing left of him along with my necklace only because that’s was what I was wearing when they came that night and That’s the reason I only have it as they burned down everything.

 I hug the hoodie, it brings me little comfort because I feel like I’m hugging a part of him. 

I hear the alarm again but I’m not willing to leave it yet… to leave him.

 I send a message to work saying I'll be in late, and after few hours of crying I reluctantly put the hoodie back and get ready for work.

 I get to work and as soon as Sarah and Emmy see me they start wiggling their eyebrows teasingly at me. 

"What’s wrong with you two?" I ask.

“Oh, Mr. Blue eyes called just before you came asking if you specifically can attend their meeting and take the meeting points" Sarah say with a sign.

 “But we don't take points in meetings like this nor have I ever attended them" I say frowning my eyebrows. 

“Girl, why do you look like crap? That’s the wrong day to look like that” Emmy says shaking her head in disapproval.

 "And why is that?" I say annoyed now. 

“Didn’t you hear me, Mr. stronghold asked for you.. SPECIFICALLY... it's obvious he has a thing for you, do you know how rich he is?" Sarah tells me as if I'm so stupid to miss such an opportunity. 

"well I don't give a fuck how rich he is and if he is interested in me" I tell Sarah then switch my attention to Emmy 

"and that’s the way I look and if Mr. blue eyes don't like it he can shove his opinion up his ass" I say angrily and as I finish I hear someone clearing his throat and now I notice the horrified look on the girls face. 

I turn and he is standing right there by the elevator and with the look of amusement on his face and his brother shaking his head and chuckling lightly, he heard everything. 

WELL FUCK ME AGAIN. 

Derek POV 

 "well I don't give a fuck how rich he is and if he is interested in me… and that’s the way I look and if Mr. Blue eyes don't like it he can shove his opinion up his ass" I was welcomed with the melodic sound of my mate cussing me out.

 Oh she is a hand full ... This is going to be fun, I thought to myself as she turns around mortified of the fact that I heard her.

 " Mr.bl- I mean Mr. Stronghold you were not supposed to hear that "she says with a straight face now, oookayyy. 

" oh so the fact that I heard what you said is what's wrong here not the fact that you said it in the first place?" I say more as a statement than a question. 

She sighs then pauses for a second... that's a weird reaction, I thought to myself.

 "Girls, can you leave us for a minute" she turns saying to her friends with a small fake smile, they do leave then she turns to me.

 “listen up here, I'm really not in the mood for your games and I'm definitely not a call girl for you to call in the morning requesting me or whatever the hell that was" wow she definitely took that the wrong way, and before she continue I cut her off saying 

"WAIT, that’s not what I meant or want, you got the wrong impression, that’s not what this is" but she is the one to cut me off this time.

 " I don't care what you want or what you think this is, I really don't give a shit about you or who you are so give up before you even start " she said raising her voice now.

 mate or not that was disrespectful and a bit much , my alpha wolf won't take disrespect lightly as I feel his anger raising and I barely contain him " ENOUGH" I boom with my alpha command 

" you will not talk to me like that and you will do as I say from now on" I say angrily, this is going terribly wrong .

 She is actually taken back and then anger contour her face but she calmly says something that shocked me to the core.

 "Don't you dare alpha command me; I'm not one of your omegas" … what the fuck?! 

 Alexandria POV

 oh shit! I was angry and I lost it and blew my cover. I wasn't actually upset with him I was angry at myself for the fact that he and his blue eyes consumed my thoughts for a good part of my day yesterday and that I was a little bit happy when I learned he was interested in me … and his captivating smile of amusement that he had when he overheard me cussing him out. 

I was angry that I let my thoughts drift to someone other than Luke ... no, he is the love of my life, He will always be the only man for me, how could I betray him like that. 

I was furious with myself and I took it out on him. I know I overdid it but when he alpha commanded me that just took me over the edge.

 What? He thinks he can command me into going out with him or something? Who does he thinks he is? And more importantly who does he think I am? 

So I blurted out those words not caring about the consequences and as soon as I'm finished saying the words, I regretted every word I said since I even stepped into this damn building.

 "What did you just say?" he says narrowing his eyes at me. 

Okay maybe I can still get out of this mess "I mean I know you alpha male type trying to order everyone around you and stuff" I say very unconvincing.

 "No its not "he says. 

"it's not what?" I ask innocently fully aware of what he means.

"That’s not what you meant and we both know it, now you know what I am, do you know what you are?" huh? Does he know who I am and what I am? 

I start panicking thinking about finding somewhere new to hide... a new identity, I have to contact Max but it’s dangerous..My thoughts were cut off by him

 "Do you?" Well the cat is out of the bag now so no use in playing dumb. 

"Okay, I know what you are and who you are but how do you know who I am?" I ask him firmly. 

"Easy... I was built to know you, to sense you" I look at him dreading what I think he means as he continues

 "I'm an alpha and you are my Luna",

 oh no, I can feel myself pale as I step back saying 

"oh no no no... is your moon goddess fucking with me " I almost scream with anger,  

I see the hurt in his eyes from my reaction and I feel bad that I hurt him but I do the one thing I've been doing for the last three years, I run away.
