I'm the Alpha's Mate

Chapter 14

At first, I believed that he wanted me dead, but that does not explain why I am not already killed. Surely he could have done it by now, his frightening dedication conveys that, so why is he holding back? Is the Alpha waiting for something specific to happen? There are too many unanswered questions, and I do not know how to begin solving them. The Alpha Kenn provided me with the facts that he is no longer in power and that no one has seen him in years, maybe he can give me more. Maybe I can work with him. There is a possible chance he will not want to work against his Uncle, but he did not sound too proud of him on the phone. If there is a chance that we can work together, I will take it.

With my idea fresh in mind, I hurry outside and across the pack land to where Sebastian told me he would be with Andrew. After my disappointment yesterday, this will definitely give me hope.

Instead of finding Sebastian I come upon two rather large wolves tackling, tossing, and growling at each other. With another minute I recognize Sebastian's scent, telling me that he has to be one of the wolves. Their battle looks to be nothing other than a game. Coming closer, I catch myself in a laugh when one lunges towards the other but meets the patchy grass with a thud. The two notice me and put an end to their match, and when they shift back, I look away with rosy cheeks.

"Keep trying buddy," I hear Sebastian's voice.

Glancing back, I see my mate clothed walking alongside Ryker. I do not waste a second before spilling my idea. "Sebastian," I rush to him, "I know what I want to do about the Alpha."

Ryker leaves us and Sebastian gives me the go ahead. "Alright, let's hear it."

"I want to work with Alpha Kenn if he can. He knows the most about the Alpha, and I think, with his help, I can put pieces together and figure this all out. Maybe I can call him, tell him about everything, and he'll open up more. Maybe I can visit the pack—since I don't expect him to come here—and I can learn more that way."

Sebastian looks uneasy. "I don't know, Evangeline. I can't trust him."

"But we called him before?"

"Calling is different than visiting, and going by yourself is a definite no."

Not willing to give up, I continue on. "I won't go myself then. I can go with guards like I did when walking to my grandmothers. They can stay with me, watch over me, protect me if anything happens. Please, Sebastian," I grab his hand and use a similar face to the one I persuaded my Grandmother with. This one is less childish though. "Please. I need to learn more about him."

"I'll think about it," he says. "In the meantime, call and ask. You don't even know if you are welcome yet."

"Alright, I will. Thank you."

I wish I could read his mind, at least then I will know what he is thinking. I cannot help but believe there is another part of him that I have yet to uncover. I know the protective, intimidating side of him, but there has to be another. The side that knows why he does not miss his parents, the side that trusts, the side that he keeps so deeply hidden from me, that is the one I want to reveal. Sadly I tend to have too many ambitions at once. Focussing on them all is hard.

I locate the phone number on a piece of paper with other detailing on it. The paper is in the same corner it was before, held securely underneath the phone itself. Taking it, I also grab the phone and dial in the digits before I become too anxious. All in one breath, I hold the phone to my ear and squeeze my hands into fists at the familiar ringing sounds.

"Alpha Tate, you call again?"

I suck in a gulp of air. "This is Evangeline, his, um, Luna."

"Oh Evangeline, yes of course," his voice picks up. "More questions?"
