All Chapters of The Alpha's mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Have you ever felt like you were so sad that you became numb? You couldn't move. Couldn't do anything. After crying myself to sleep last night, I lay in bed, staring at the wall blankly. I still felt that horrible pain in my chest, it throbbed with it as my mind forced me to relive Dameon Snapping at me. It emphasized every word he said, telling me how much he must have hated me.Deep down, I knew he said he didn't mean it, but how could he have said it and not meant it? What did I expect when I Did the worst thing possible: bring up his dead mom when he was drunk? I didn't know why I did that. Maybe it was because I was desperate for a connection. I wanted to be someone he could confide in. Kinda...like how one had to rely on a mate. I wanted to be that for him. But Lia's Talk about us possibly being mates just got to my head and I went too far. I was The worst, and I know that.When I thought about how happy we were, and how good our relationship felt, I felt like shit. I spoiled i

I froze as he walked forward." Can we talk, Willow?" he asked. I could not speak. I just stared at him with my eyes wide open, trying to remember what Lia had told me to do in this situation. She Looks at me and notices my discomfort. "She doesn't want to talk to you," she told Dameon. But he just ignores her. All his attention was on me. He looked worse than yesterday, the dark circles under his eyes much more pronounced. "Love, please. Let me talk to you," I found myself slowly shaking my head, almost doing it involuntarily as I gripped Lia's arm tightly for support. I could face him. I couldn't even look at him without the hurt of what he said coming back to me. "Willow," Lia whispered, "Say Something," I swallowed nervously, locking eyes with Dameon who looked apprehensive of my answer my heart clenched as I looked at him “ No,” I said, shaking my head. His shoulders slumped in defeat. He looked on the verge of begging me to hear him out, but he clenched his jaw in resis

I didn't have to think long about how to deal with the situation because then he embraced me from behind, pulling me against him. "I'm sorry, Willow. I'm so sorry," he murmured, my back to his chest.It was like all my strength had left my legs and I sank to the ground, Dameon going with me. One touch and I was weak, realizing how much I had missed the warm embrace of his arms. "Dameon..!"I said his name with anguish."I Shouldn't have let you leave like that that day. I'm so sorry for turning you away," I started to cry, the regret of everything flooding in."Don't apologize for anything. I was the one who fucked up,"I shook my head, sniffling as he pulled me into his embrace even tighter. "It's okay,""No, it's not. I was mean to you." he buried his face in the crook of my neck, kissing me tenderly there. "I'm so sorry,"I took in a few deep breaths, hiccuping as I tried to calm down he just held me, his grip tight yet not painful, just enough to show me that he didn't want to let

The Flashback continues She jolted, scrambling out over the blanket. She grabbed her gun and slipped it into her boots before turning to me."I need you to stay here," she whispered. My heart beat erratically, fear consumed me. "Mom! You can't go!" "I have to protect you," "But y-you're not an alpha like the others or dad! Don't fight," She smiled at me sadly. "How little faith you have in me. I know how to use a gun, Dameon," I shook my head. "No! Don't go!" She kissed me on the head. "I love you forever," she said. I watched as she left our makeshift tent, cooking her gun. I don't plan on staying here. I have to go after her. I have to protect mom. I grabbed my a little knife that Dad had given me for my 10th birthday. Mom had been so mad when She saw what the present was. He told her, "Tia, the alpha's son needs to know how to fight!" She ignored him, then whacked him over the head with a spatula. I still got to keep the knife,e though, as long as I promised to be s

 I played with my phone absent-mindedly as I waited for Dameon, as he had gone to freshen up. I had calmed down already, and my tears had finally stopped. I was honestly still reeling from everything he had told me. It explained so much. Why he was so touchy about mates. About Tai. Now that I knew the reason behind why he snapped at me, it hurt so much less now.And the fact that he trusted me enough to open up to me felt pretty great. That he sees me as valid, and respects and cares about my opinion of him. It made me feel like we had passed a big milestone together.I hummed softly to myself, adjusting the screen brightness of my phone when a message popped up on my screen. My Stomach drops. It was from Brianna.  Her last text to me was a happy birthday wish, not a single one since that. Until now.Brianna Brianna:Why were you at my house?Shit. How do I reply to that? Yes, I was, but I accidentally saw that you defamed a picture of me, so I left. Which was wh
