Spare Me Alpha but I Want Your Beta

Chapter 11- Long Night and A Good Morning

Alexa's POV

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Who the hell was banging on the door like a maniac? I looked at the time reading 11:47pm I put the pillow over my head hoping whoever it was would get the clue that I was not getting up. Groaning, I threw the covers off me, put on my fuzzy friends' slippers, and went to see who has awaken a sleeping monster.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I yelled in annoyance. Whoever it was was lucky, because I was used randows paying ding dong ditch when I lived in the city.

"Jeez, what is your probl---" I stopped before I could finish standing before me was Nate. I had too rub my eyes to be sure, because things were still blurry after getting up just now. At first, he looked pissed, then his features softened when he noticed that I'd opened the door. His fist was up in the air for another round of banging.

“Why did you Just open the door like that?” he questioned. I looked at the door as if there was another way of opening the door, but got nothing.

“Uh, I think that’s the only way to open a door … turn the knob and pull. Shaking his head in frustration.

“What if I was a killer, or a psycho! You didn’t even care to ask who it was! You just opened it like nothing!” I looked at him with one brow up. Was this man crazy? So I thought I’d mess with him. I closed the door on his face smiling to myself. On qew he banged on the door.

“Who is it?” I asked trying to hold back my laugh.

“Very funny! It’s me!”

“Me who? You know I just can’t open the door for you, you might be a killer or a psycho! So I’ll ask again who is it?” hearing him groan on the other side of the door made me want to laugh even harder.

“It’s Nate ....” then Dahlia’s words went through my head. He was with that girl, now what I don’t understand is why he is here now. So I opened the door holding it in place with one foot, my arms crossed over my chest.

"What do you want?" His smirk slipped right off his face and was replaced with guilt.

"I told you I would come back," he said, stepping closer. I held up my hand, his firm chest hitting it before he could come any closer.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come sooner, something came up, but I take care of it, and I'm here now," he said. I really wanted to bite my tongue and hear him out, but then the scent of the redheaded vixen hit me.

"What's wrong is I want you to leave, it’s late!" I said while turning and shutting the door in his face. But before I could he jammed his foot in between the door before it closed, and pushed his way inside. I was so pissed at him, the latina in me came out.

"Mira! Que te pasa estúpido! Salte!" I pushed him towards the door angrily. My body was trembling. He wrapped his big arms around me, holding me in place, my chest against his abs breathing hard.

"I like the way you talk Spanish, I don't know what you just said, but I can only assume it wasn't nice. Once you and your wolf calm down, you can tell me what I did for you to be so upset with me," he said into my ear, his breath tickled the hairs on my neck. I couldn't stop the moan that escaped my lips. Why did he do this to me? My wolf whimpered, not liking how my body responded to him. Slowly, my breathing started to ease back to normal. I felt mad at myself for acting this way it was ridiculous! He was not mines to be this upset. I barely even know anything about him.

"I'm going to let you go now," he whispered slowly, then kissed under my earlobe. I blinked back my frustration when he stepped away from me.

“What is this Nate? What are we doing? We don’t even know each other and we are acting like we belong to one another. Just yesterday you hated my very existence, now … I don’t know what changed or if you have some sort of agenda to hurt me.” I said as I sat down on my bed. He walked towards me watching me. He too had no idea what we were doing and it was written all over his face.

"What do you want from me, Nate? We just met, and you keep making me feel things I shouldn't be feeling! So what is it, sex? Is that what you're looking for? Tell me!" I asked unwilling to hear his answer.

"No! I don't want you for sex! I want you because you woke up something inside me. I thought I would never fall for anyone unless it was my mate. I don't know what it is that keeps pulling me to you, but it's there, and I can't ignore it! As much as I tried to fight that feeling, I can’t.” He sat beside me putting a finger under my chin and turning it so I would look at him.

“I can smell that red haired girl all over you…” I said not daring to look away from him I wanted to see the truth in his eyes when he responded.

"She came by to talk to me; she wanted to know why I kicked her out the other night when you were there. I am not going to lie to you, Alexa. Addison and I had a sexual relationship, but the minute I knew I wanted you, I stopped. I told her not to come looking for me, because what we had was over."

"So she was your girlfriend? In spite of not wanting too, I felt jealous.

"No, she never was my girlfriend, and yes, sometimes she stayed with me, but what we had is over! Please believe me.

I sighed, closing my eyes, and prayed that I was doing the right thing. He pulled me in his arms. It should have felt wrong-I should have pushed him back. Instead, my arms went around his neck, and he breathed in my scent, holding me close. Laying me down he quickly pulled his jeans and shirt off, leaving himself just in his boxer briefs. God, he was gorgeous, I couldn’t believe that he was here wanting me, pulling me close to his body it felt so right to be in his arms; yet so wrong at the same time. Once we were both in bed, I laid my head on his chest, cuddling close to him.

"Sorry for snapping at you," I murmured.

"It's fine; I guess I deserved it," he mumbled back, running his fingers through my hair.

"What do we do now?" I questioned.

"We can talk tomorrow. For now, let's get some sleep." I reached up and kissed him gently, and he responded tenderly. I pulled away before things went to far. Trust me I wanted too.

"Good night," I whispered.

"Good night," he said, and kissed the top of my head. I smiled and closed my eyes loving his warmth.

I woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon and eggs-something I wasn't used to. Normally, I made breakfast, and Lia got to reap the benefits. Seemed like today was going to be different. I got out of bed and folded the sheets, went to the bathroom to wash up. I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked different. Maybe I was really lacking sleep. I felt good, my body wasn’t stressed or tense at all. I shook my head grabbing y toothbrush which was already wet. Did he use my toothbrush? I finished up, and I stopped short, and couldn't help admiring the view. Nate was in front of the stove with his jeans hanging low from his hips, showing his Marc Jacobs briefs and fully muscled back. He was cooking for me! Oh if Jonah could see this he’d die. Mmm, I wanted him for breakfast forget the bacon! I want meat!.

His low chuckle brought me back from my distracting thoughts. "Stop, Alexa. I can smell your arousal. If you keep that up, I might be tempted to take you right here, on his little countertop"

My breath caught in my throat. Oh my! He brought two plates of breakfast to the table, and it smelled amazing. He walked over to me, his eyes hot and smouldering, and I gulped. Okay, it was going to be hard this was going to be so goddamn hard. He bent down and kissed me softly, and sat down, oh no come back I want more! I thought.

"Let's eat before the food gets cold," he said. I nodded. A small, triumphant smile played on his lips, and I wondered what it was for. Then he pushed my plate towards me and said, "Eat."

"Did you give me the wrong plate?" I cocked my eyebrow, pretending to look suspiciously at him.

"No! Why?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Stop making that face, it might stay like that. I just don’t eat this much. This plate can easily feed two people" I laughed. Putting a spoonful of egg in my mouth, I moaned. It was so good. I smiled. "These are the best eggs I've ever had I might just keep you after all just so you can cook for me." His laughed and it was so sexy.

"I wouldn't mind you keeping me at all, but my Alpha might have a problem."

Speaking of the Alpha, I totally forgot he was still out of town.

"When does he come back? I need to talk to him about me staying here, seeing that Alpha Julian was pretty stern in his demands." He shook his head.

"What?" I asked.

"I don't know why, but it doesn't feel right. Julian has never made such a decision before. He's been acting strange ever since you arrived, and by the way, I talked to Nick. He's coming back Saturday evening."

"That's too late! I have to be gone by Friday," I groaned, covering my face with my hands. I didn't have a chance.

"Don't worry, I talked to Nick. He said you can stay as long as I present you and Dahlia in front of the pack, and you both pledge your fidelity to Crescent Falls."

I had just taken a gulp of my orange juice, I choked and spit it out everywhere, even in Nate's face.

"You did WHAT?!" I yelled, looking at him as he wiped his face off with a napkin. He turned then, narrowing his eyes at me, and I tried to hold back the giggles. “You think that was funny, that actually stung my eyes, I can barely see you right now.” he said jokingly. I answered with a nod of my head.

"Uh-huh," he said. “Cat got your tongue?” he said pulling my chair so that I was inches away from his face. I thought he was going to kiss me, but instead, he wiped his wet face all over me. I yelped. "Gross! Get away!" I said, ducking under his arms. He laughed, walking to the sink to wash his face. He grabbed the towel and wiped dry, I couldn't help but notice droplets of water sliding down his chest to the hairline of his naval. Shaking the perverted thoughts out of my head. I needed to know why he would put me in such a situation.

"What do you mean, pledging us to your pack? What does that entail?”

"I spoke with Alpha Nick, or as you call him, Nicholas. I told him about Mason finding his mate, and about you being your sister, and since she will be a part of my family, I told him I was taking responsibility for you and her, which gives me the honor to present you to my pack," he said. I tried to wrap my head around what he just said. He came up behind me, wrapping his arms around me while kissing my neck. "It will all work out, Alexa," he mumbled on the side of my neck.

I don't know if this was a good idea, but what other option did I have? I was going to have to roll with the punches. He turned me over to face him, cupping my face in his hands, his piercing grey eyes bright as ever. "I want you to pack your things today. I don't want you staying in this motel anymore," he stated in a firm voice, giving me no room to protest.

"Where am I supposed to go?" I questioned. Was he going to make me move into the pack house without knowing anyone? Besides everything, I was technically still a rogue. "You're moving in with me," he said. My eyes bulged out of my head.

"I know what you're thinking … this is too sudden, we've only known each other for a couple of days and so on. Honestly, I don't care about any of that. What I care about is you, and I have a big enough house for us. You don't have to sleep with me in my room, Alexa. You can have your own room. I'm sure Dahlia wouldn't mind being with her mate, and the same goes for Mason."

What was I to say. I watched as he watched me process everything in my head. His eyebrows creased with worry. Could I move in with him? Something inside me was telling me not to do it.

'We shouldn't; what will our mate think of us? Living with another man? He'll be furious, or may reject us; we must be pure.'

'You say it is wrong, but you purr in delight when he's touching us! Make up your mind … I know I have and it’s what I want. I don't know if I'll ever find him, but in the meantime, I have Nate, and he wants me. He's offering to care for us, and I'm taking that offer, mate or not!' I blocked my wolf out. I was already confused; I didn't want to feel anymore guilt or regret.

I looked at Nate, he waited patiently for my response, and I was thankful he didn't push me for a quick answer. I gave him a genuine smile. "Yes, let’s do this" I whispered. He chucked, pulling me to him, and I felt his chest vibrate against mine. I don't know what was going to happen from here on, but being with Nate made me feel protected. The feeling of knowing that someone was willing to help you pick up the pieces of your life, was amazing. Locking my fingers in his hair, I gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Well, I guess I should get packing, then?" I asked. He smiled.

"That sounds like a great idea dimples, but I have to get going. I have to do my rounds and my beta duties." I frowned. Our morning together was so amazing I didn’t want it to end, but he was right. He had a life to get too, and as for me I had to get ready for my new one.

"Okay, I'll start then, and hopefully your brother will let me borrow my sister," I said to him while walking him to the door. He turned to me, kissing my nose.

"I will make sure she's home after school. Mason has rounds too, so he has no choice but to let her go for a few hours."

I smiled up at him. What did I do to get so lucky? "Thank you," I whispered. He leaned down and captured my mouth with his, making me want to pop my leg out like the movies. It was every bit as good, wonderful, and sexy. He was an amazing kisser, and there was no doubt about it. He nibbled on my lower lip, making me moan, and took the opportunity of slipping his tongue inside my mouth. I responded with equally our tongues danced around swallowing the taste of each other. Finally I pulled back leaning his forehead against mine.

"It's going to take everything I have to walk out this door, Alexa. The only thing keeping me sane is knowing that you will be in my arms later. I've got to go now, but I'll be back later to pick you up," he said. I nodded, and watched him get in his truck and drive off.

I started packing up our things. I pulled out an old wooden chest that my parents had given me to save all my awards from school, but I now used for saving all of our important documents. I realized that it was heavy. What the hell had I put in it to make it so heavy? As I tried pulling it out, I lost my balance, and the chest slipped out of my hands, falling to the ground. "Damn it!" I groaned, stepping down from the stool. I started gathering all the papers. Then I noticed that the bottom lining of the chest had popped off in one of its corners. I pulled the rest of the lining off, and a letter addressed to me in my mother's writing came into my hands. I gasped in surprise and shock, and dropped it on the ground. Then I stared at it, trying to remember if I'd put it in there. No, I have never seen this letter before.

My chest tightened with emotions, and I stared at the letter from my mom, feeling the memories and emotions cloud my thoughts. I reached out to touch it, and suddenly tears started forming in my eyes. She left me a letter.

"This can't be," I whispered to myself. All this time, the letter was here, in my chest... and I had never seen or discovered it. Hearing the door slam, I snapped my head towards the sound and panicked.

"Lex! I'm here. Where are you? And why are some of our things packed?" Dahlia questioned with a curious tone, and her footsteps advanced towards me room. I quickly put the letter back in the lining, then replaced the other documents. Wiping my face, I strengthened myself. I had to read the letter, but later. "I'm over here, Lia!"

"Hey! What's going on, Alexa? Don't tell me were leaving," her voice pleading.

"No, we're not, but we are leaving the motel. So start packing." I locked the clamps on the chest, and set it on my bed. When I get some time alone, I would find out what my mother had written in her letter.

"And where are we going?" She followed me out to the kitchen, where I was pouring myself a much needed glass of wine to calm my nerves.

"We're moving in with your boyfriend," I stated, looking at her, waiting for her reaction. A smile appeared on her lips, and then she screamed.

"I love you, I love you, I love you!" Crushing me into a hug, she giggled, and I hugged her back. God, she was so excited! It made me happy once again. It was a whole day that I didn’t see her we'd never stayed away from each other for more than a few hours. I'd missed her, but I to learn this was going to be my new normal. "Don't get any ideas. You're still a teen, and while I'm around, I don't want to see the two of you undressing or on any tables."

"Lex!" she chided. "Of course I won't. Plus, Mason and I talked about it, and we have decided to wait until I go through my first shift before we mate." I groaned.

"That's good to know...I guess? It's just a little weird that my little sister's going to possibly lose her v-card before me." She laughed, putting her arm around my shoulder with a cocked eyebrow.

"So, what's the catch? You wouldn't willingly stay at Mason’s house. I know you and Nate don't like each other, I kind of figured that out the other night at dinner. So how come you're okay with this?"

I kept walking back and forth picking up, letting her arm fall to her side while she stood waiting for an answer. I laughed to myself. She huffed and followed behind me. I might as well tell her, because she was going to find out sooner or later.

"Lex," she whined.

"Lia," I mocked back.

"Don't mock me! Tell me what's going on; I want to know!" I smiled nervously, and leaned on the wall. Then I noticed how dolled up she was, and in very expensive clothes. She had on these cute bebe skinny jeans and a pink blouse with a black blazer and black open toe platforms

"You look nice," I observed.

"Don't change the subject, Alexa" she jabbed her finger at me. "If you haven’t noticed, my man wants me to have nothing but the best, and if that makes him happy, then so be it. Now are you going to tell me, or should I call Mason and have him ask his brother?" She crossed her arms over her chest while tapping her foot on the floor.

I rolled my eyes. She was always so demanding. "I guess... Nate and I are kind of getting to know each other," I mumbled slowly.

As soon as I said the words, she widened her eyes in shock. "You're kidding me, right?" she said, disbelief lacing her words.

"No, I'm not. And I'm definitely not discussing my relationship with you. Now let's get this ready. He should be here later tonight." I started packing again. I stopped when she spoke again. "Damn, this is going to be weird, but I'm glad anyway. I'm really happy that you're opening up to a man, Lex! God knows you need to let off some steam, because you can be such a bitch sometimes," she laughed and ran off. I threw the first thing at her that I could see, which turned out to be my brush.

"Missed me... Ha," she said triumphantly. I groaned. Even my sister could see the lack of excitement in my life.
