Malakai

After they left the house, a loud silence filled our house. Zara stood in the middle of the room, looking at the door like she's expecting something to happen. I could see she was upset and I wanted to know why.

"Zara?" I called out.

Nothing.

"Baby girl," I said gently. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her body.

I could feel her body shaking as I held her, so I held her tighter. I rubbed along her shoulder as she watched the door. Her skin felt so nice, so soft.

"What's wrong?" I asked, and just like that she exploded.

She shoved me off of her, turning to face me with tears streaming down her red face. She looked more upset then I've seen her so far.

"What's wrong? Seriously Kai?! Should I start with the fact that your beta, or ex girlfriend, or what ever the fuck she is to you, is purposely pissing me off. Maybe I should start with the fact that we never talked about last night...you just gave me head and thought that was enough. Well it's not because she either had fucked you or what's to! I just wish you two would just fuck each other's brains out and leave me alone, oh wait you two probably already have!!" She yelled.

My wolf was on his feet, growling and begging me to let him out. All he's thinking of is making her pay for yelling at him. I couldn't let him out, it'll be like last night. I've gone all my life without letting him break loose, till last night. He's never wanted to come out till we meet her. Now it's so hard to keep him in.

"So you have nothing to say?! What the fuck was tonight? I heard y'all little conversation in the hallway btw. Sleepovers? Y'all have sleepovers like are fucking kidding me? Oh and I'm meant to just be okay with y'all weekly fuck sessions?!" she said, looking even more upset because I took to long to answer trying to keep my wolf in.

"Zara...she's just my best friend, okay-"

"Kai, honestly I don't believe that bullshit. Y'all sleep in the same bed every weekend, ignore your own mates and focus on each other, she brags about how much time y'all spend with each other, hell I'm shocked she didn't brag about your dick" she spat.

Growls came flying out my mouth, it's becoming harder to keep him in!

"Zara the sleepovers are just something we have been doing for over 10 years. It's like a tradition, okay? It's just our thing." I tried to explain calmly.

"Oh, and where am I supposed to be while y'all are cuddling in your, no YALL, bed? On the floor like a pet?" She asked.

"No. I was thinking during that time you could spend time with your family or our pack" I answered, which sent her more anger. I thought that would be the best solution.

"Take me home right fucking now! I will never be like Charles! I will never sit there and allow my mate to treat me like a side chick" She yelled.

My wolf was sent into a panic. She wanted to leave us. She's trying to leave us! He's running all through my head growling and howling his head off. He's slowly breaking loose.

"This is your home, Zara. We can meet in the middle but you are not leaving" I said, my wolf slowly slipping out.

"There is no middle. That sleepover shit is over. You are not single anymore so it's not okay. It should've stopped when Charles came into the picture. How dare y'all disrespect him like that!?" She yelled, her voice starting to crack.

She's defending another male?!

"I can't just stop sleeping over Zara. It's tradition at this point"

She gave me a dry laugh and shook her head.

"You two need to fuck or something and get it over with. Oh and WHEN y'all do leave me the fuck out of it. Because it's going to happen. She likes you" she laughed.

"No she does not. We are just friends Zara."I said, my breathing becoming heavy.

"So I can go have a sleepover with another male? Sit by him and ignore you? Allow him to touch me and talk to him while you try to get my attention? Allow him to speak to you with a obvious attitude?" She asked.

I tried to ignore how upset that made me. My wolf wanted to kill any male that got too close to her.

"It's not the same, Zara. This is years-"

"Okay, I'll just find someone from my school who I've known for years and have sleepovers."

"Stop Interrupting me" my mouth was moving but it wasn't my words. He's coming.

"Right, your wolf doesn't like when I speak my mind. Should we call your girlfriend so she can calm you down?" She asked, making a fake sad face.

"Zara, I just want to meet in the middle okay? What if the sleep overs are only once a month?"I asked, fighting for control.

"It's killing me how you think that the sleepovers are the ONLY problem here. I've been here for a few hours and she's disrespected me and tested me like 3 times. She has an attraction to you and is begging for your attention. It's disgusting how she can do all this in front of her mate and you think it's normal. You allow this bullshit and call it a friendship" she yelled.

"You don't know anything about our friendship, Zara. She doesn't like me, that's just how we are"

"I can't wait to find a good friend like that so I can dismiss how he makes you feel!" She growled angrily.

Hearing her growl at me sent my wolf banging at his cage. Her wolf was coming out and it didn't look like she was holding her back.

I rubbed my hands through my hair and let out a loud sigh. This was going nowhere. I can't have more of our wolves out, they could destroy this whole house together. Either having sex or fighting.

"Oh am I pissing you off? Should I get Abigail so she can eye fuck you?" She growled.

"You're trying to upset me instead of coming up with a solution" I growled.

This is our second argument in less than 24 hours.

"I gave you a fucking solution...control your girlfriend"she laughed.

"She's not my fucking girlfriend, calm your little ass down!"

I don't understand why it's only hard to keep him at bay when it comes to her. I've gotten disrespected many times by all types of people and had no problem keeping him in. I've gotten yelled at plenty of times and he didn't even crack, but this one girl can have him going crazy.

"Not yet," she said coldly. She walked past me, heading to her suitcases that we never had time to put up. She picked them up and started walking to the door.

At this point my control was gone, he's too angry and strong right now to stop. My body was now his and he took control. I was just a passenger in my own body.

I watched as I ran as fast as possible to the door, slamming it shut just as she opened it. She jumped at the sound and looked at me as her eyes showed a hint of yellow.

"You're not leaving me, ever"I said, my voice deep and primal.

"And I don't wanna leave! I want to stay with you. I've been dreaming about being with my mate all of my life and here you are. You're asking me to meet you in the middle then okay, the sleepovers have to stop. Before you say that's not the middle, be mindful that I don't want y'all seeing each other at all but I'll just settle for the sleepovers! God! I don't want to fight you" She cried. Her eyes are red and puffy like the rest of her face. She dropped her head along with her suitcases and cried in her hands.

"Done," my wolf said without a second thought. I didn't fully agree to this, how would Abigail feel knowing that we will never have another sleepover? I was thinking more than 6 times a year not canceling them.

She nodded her head. "Kay" she said, holding her head down. "I'm still not 100% okay with this, but we can do one problem at a time." She sounded so tired, it made me sad.

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in my chest. With my wolf in control all of my senses, which are already heightened because I'm an Alpha, are 2 times higher. Making them 4 times higher than a regular wolf, meaning this hug felt like everything I needed.

"One step at a time, beautiful. I promise she's nothing to worry about" I whispered in her ear.

Although he was in control he just wanted to comfort her. I thought he would be bending her over by now, but he was stroking her back.

"Please don't make me crazy" she begged, holding me just as tight as I was holding her.

I kissed her hair and lifted her in my arms. She jumped a little but wrapped her legs around my waist. I walked to the bedroom and laid her down.
