All Chapters of The Alpha's mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Warning: abuse, disturbing elements. The room is dark; it’s suffocating. I’m lying on the cold floor, breathing weakly and my stomach growling. I’ve been locked in the basement for over a day, given a water bottle and nothing else. I move a little bit, the chains around my ankle clinking as I do so. I regret moving immediately, as the movement sends a jolt of pain through my bladder. I have to pee badly, but Alpha Eric hasn’t come down in hours to let me use the bathroom. I sob quietly, tears streaming down my face, leaving trails through the dirt on my cheeks as I recur the events that have led me to be punished. I shouldn’t have taken a different route to the market. I got jumped on the way, and the culprits had stolen Alpha Eric’s money. I returned to my step-father empty-handed. I swallow, trying to resist the urge to drink water because if I drink water, the need to use the restroom will only get worse. Twenty minutes later, I can't take it anymore. I’m so thirsty I stru

The next morning, I made up my mind to get out of bed and go to school, no longer moping around in my room. I was only making it worse by staying in my room all day with no social interaction.As I got ready, pulling on some black skinny jeans, my mind replayed the event of yesterday. How Dameon got so close to my face, his dark brows furrowed in some emotion I couldn’t place. He wasn’t acting like his usual self. Had he really been… concerned about me?I knew I was being stupid for even considering that. There was no way he would care for me. But when I remembered how it felt to be in his hands, how safe I felt against his chest, I wished it was true.But those are just silly thoughts. My friends were crazy enough to see him as a romantic prospect for me but I’m certainly not. I did my best to shake the thoughts of Dameon from my mind grab my bag and go downstairs.Ralph was kind enough to drive me to school today which I was really grateful for. I didn’t want to fa

The bell interrupted my thoughts. I grabbed my things and walked out of the class to the hallway. I hate the hallways. The chatter of students is really overwhelming, and people always bump into each other. “ Um, hey,” I hear someone say behind me, but I pay no heed to it because it was probably someone passing by who was talking to their friend. “Hi? Willow?” the voice continued, and I turned back and looked up with wide eyes at the alpha who approached me “ oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you were talking to me!” I say, my cheeks burning up. Jake chuckles, looking kind of embarrassed as well. “No worries. You probably didn’t expect me to talk to you suddenly,” “It’s fine,” I smiled with reassurance. “What’s…up?” I felt kind of awkward. I didn’t want to make a bad impression on a popular guy, in case he chose to target me like Adam does. ‘’ you must have noticed me staring at you earlier in class. I-I wasn’t trying to be weird or anything; I was just curious,” his face w

He smirks. “ can see the little gears in that pretty head of yours, but don’t worry I don’t think you’re the reason behind it,” I blush at his remarks. “ why? You don’t still think I’m a spy?” He shakes his head in amusement. “ No, you are just too naïve to be a spy” “What?!” I cross my hand and pout in defense. “ I’m not that naïve” “ yes, you are. You fall too easily when people tease you.” “gosh, you are just like this Alpha at my school.” That seemed to catch his attention. “ An Alpha?” he asks his expression darkening I considered whether or not to tell him the event of the day but decided to anyway. “well, he said he wanted to be friends with me. Then tricks me that I had his name wrong. And he said it was because I was too fun to tease.” Dameon looked shocked, rubbing a hand over his face. “ seriously, I can't believe you. You are definitely too naïve” “ And you are definitely wrong” After chatting for a while about random things, I eventually went to my roo

Chapter 19The next day and the next day after, Dameon and I gave each other the silent treatment. When he was driving me to school or back, I always kept my head. And when we did talk, his voice was cold and emotionless. More than being angry, it made me really sad.I know that I brought up something he didn’t like but do I really deserve this? I wasn’t trying to offend him, I was just curious. He was the one who lashed out and, in turn, made me lash out. I was getting tired of him acting like this after a few days of it.It was the same as usual this morning as he was driving to school. I was surprised he was still taking me to school. His relationship with Ralp was rocky b, but I guess he won't disobey him to a degree.As I was still receiving the cold shoulder, I found myself signing multiple times, and I could tell that it was getting on his nerves,s, so I kept doing it. It was not long before he finally snapped.“ what fucking is it”?” he snarls, turning to
