My Mate

Chapter 8



We have been at the party for about an hour now and we are all having so much fun we’re all drinking, dancing and playing all sorts of games. Then Emily comes rushing over with her phone in hand.

“Hope, where’s your phone?” before I answer her, I register what’s going on and start walking outside to the car. I left the pack house without letting my parents know where I was going and then I got distracted and forgot to call them.

I check my cell phone and find ten missed calls from both mom and dad and a dozen text messages from an unknown number. I call mom right away and she picks up on the first ring.

“Hope, where are you?” She sounds frantic.

“Mom don’t worry ….” I’m cut off when I hear Zayn’s voice on the line.

“Where are you?” he asks in a low chilling voice.

“I’m at a friends house with Emily and ….”

“You have half an hour to be back or I’m coming to find you.” I hang up the phone, this can’t be happening. I call dad.

“Princess where are you? and why did you leave without telling anyone?” He asks as soon as he answers

“I’m sorry it happened so fast. I’m on my way home now.”

“okay, I’ll see you soon then” he replies and I hang up.

Emily comes over “Mom called again she said we need to get home asap.”

we get everybody and head back to the pack. This time Emily and I are riding with Jason and Derek. As soon as we enter our pack borders I see security all over our territory. Someone must have been really worried.

They pull us over immediately and one guy walks over to us “The Alpha wants to see you all in his office now.” he says. Oh goddess. We continue all the way up to the pack house and Jason parks the car in front of the mansion for a minute I feel like I can’t breathe. As we walk inside we are greeted by Mom and Luna both standing with their hands folded.

“Why didn’t you let us know you were leaving? we have been worried sick!” mom says.

“I’m sorry” I say and she hugs me.

“The important thing is that you’re back now” Luna says.

“Where’s dad” I ask.

“He went home, do you want me to wait for you?” mom asks looking towards the Alpha’s office.

“No it’s okay, go ahead I’ll be there in a bit.” She smiles at me and walks out the door.

Everybody else has already entered Zayn’s office.

I walk in ” well well well look who it is” Zayn says in a low voice with a menacing look on his face. I walk over and stand next to the rest. He is sitting behind his desk and we are all standing waiting for him to say something. I take the initiative to speak since they are all quiet.

“I’m sorry we worried you but we’re back now” I pause he has his head down now

“And it’s not the first time we go out at night to a friends house outside our territory.” He stands up slowly and takes off his suit jacket. The first three buttons on his shirt are undone and he rolls the sleeves up a few times then sits down again.

He looks at me “Are you done?”

I stay quiet for a few seconds then say “Y..yes, so can we go? we have school tomorrow.”

He gets up, comes around his table and stands in front of us with his hands jammed in his pockets. “If this ever happens again, you will regret it.” He says looking at the guys.

“Alpha I’m sorry we should have told someone we were leaving” Jason says

“YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK, GET OUT” Zayn grits through his teeth and if looks could kill, Jason would be ten feet under. Jason leaves quickly and the rest of us remain quiet.

“All of you get out..except for you” he says pointing to me, I swallow hard. They all leave and I’m left alone with him. He takes slow calculated steps towards me with his head down and hands still in pockets. He circles around me once then stops right behind me. I gulp and put my head down. He doesn’t have to say a word, the power and aura coming off him speak volumes and I can feel his breath on my neck. “What did I say about respect?” He asks

“I…I ……” he doesn’t wait to hear what I have to say

“You left with your friends without even thinking for a second about me…” He pauses for a few seconds like he’s having an internal battle with his wolf.

“Zayn I didn’t think going ……..” he cuts me off again

“Leave” He growls at me and I’m in shock. I want to explain myself but I can’t, he told me to leave. I wait a few seconds but I feel like crying all of a sudden so I turn around and leave.

All I can think about is he is going to reject me. Maybe it’s for the best?? Then why do I feel so heart broken all of a sudden. ..
