Alpha Alexander novel Chapter 4

Alexander:

“I don’t care whether or not she is dead. I want her body if you have to bring it” dad snapped, glaring at me.

“My men are on the search for her. The girl has not been to her university in months, if she was still in the city, we would have found her already” I snapped, glaring at my father. The fact that he was speaking to me in such a sense annoyed me, especially since I was the one who was Alpha, and not him.

His eyes widened and a low growl escaped his chest before he wrapped his hand around my neck, choking me “Mathew!”

Mom’s voice broke through the silence of the room, and growling in warning, dad had her stop before she said a word about it “the girl’s family sacrificed their lives for your and your mother’s sake. The least we could do is ensure that their daughter is safe until she’s found her mate, do you understand me?”

The man didn’t know how much his words tore through my chest. If he found out that I was her mate and that I rejected her, then I was more than just dead in his eyes. The man wouldn’t even give me a grave.

He removed his hand from around my neck, and taking a step back, he nodded toward mom and the two of them walked toward the door. He looked at me over his shoulder, stopping at the door for a second before he spoke “I want her found, and I don’t care what it costs you. Whether she is alive, dead, in the city, or somewhere away from it. I want to know why she ran away, and I want to know of her whereabouts; otherwise, I will be sure that you pay for her leaving the way that she did”

The man walked out of the house before I could say a word, and sitting on the couch, I pinched the bridge of my nose, knowing that I didn’t know what I could do. The fact that my mate was away from the pack was something, the fact that I couldn’t even stand looking at Delilah was another thing. Her living with me in the house right now only angered me more than I could have imagined, and I couldn’t help but regret both sleeping with and rejecting Scarlett.

“Alex?” Delilah said, entering the house carrying a bunch of groceries. Her voice, which was once music to my ears now angered me, and seeing as I didn’t get up to greet her like I normally would have before that night, Delilah let out a low whimper.

She handed one of the maids the grocery bags that she was carrying, and putting her car keys on the table, she walked toward me.

“When are you going to tell me what I did so wrong that you’re not bothering to look at me?” She asked, sitting on the couch beside me. The two of us have grown more distant over the past three weeks, and it was also due to the fact that she was either growing too protective, or trying to get me to make her pregnant. She knew that I didn’t want it, but I wasn’t stupid as not to realize that she stopped taking birth control since Scarlett disappeared and I started my search for her.

“You can start by going back to your birth control pills and stop…”

“It is my body, and what enters it…”

“Then you can dream about me touching you, Delilah” I said, glaring at her. She looked down at her lap, watching as I got up from the couch “I will not risk you getting pregnant…”

“What happened to the ‘family’ that we wanted to build? As far as I know, a family was built when two mated and had their child. You’re refusing to mark me, and now you’re just annoyed that I want us to try for a baby. You have been since that slut…”
