BETA DOMINIC.
Iwas driving on thefree highway at three o‘clock in the morning as I made my way back to the territory. I followed the Alpha’s advice and went out, trying to ease the annoyance of being the only one left unmated residing at the packhouse.
I didn’t have any plans to go out tonight. I was serious when I told Alpha Riley that I would spend the night looking up at the moon, but then the Alpha and his Gamma decided that tonight was the best time to leave their windows open so the whole packhouse ground could hear their females while they satiate their heat.
It was torturous. Not that I got aroused, but it left me with a pang of pity for myself. I was twenty-three, the same age as the Alpha, but I hadn’t found my fated mate yet. I wondered if I would meet her one day or if I just had to content myself with a chosen one.
A chosen one isn’t bad. In fact, I already knew who I wanted.Janna. Alpha Jacob’s half-sister.But the problem was, I felt she didn’t feel anything for me.
I let out a deep sigh as I slipped my hand off the window, holding the roof of my car as I drove faster down the highway.
Sleep will be terrible tonight. Alcohol wasn’t helping at all.
I tried to clear my mind of any thoughts and just focus on driving when a figure began to take shape ahead of me on the side of the highway.
Is that a female? What on the fucking earth is a female doing in the road at three o’clock in the morning alone?
I hit my brakes hard, the tires screeching loudly and making the female jerk back from her position before the car came to a full halt in front of her.
My eyes squinted as recognition flashed in my head. She looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure where I saw her. But she seemed much younger than what I remembered of her.
“Lady Katarina?” I asked, my brows furrowing as I raked her body up and down. She was wearing tight black jeans and a hoodie of the same color that hugged her body perfectly.
She swallowed before she shook her head, pulling the hood off her head. “I’m not Katarina.”
“You look like her.”
“Yes, she is my sister. What are you doing here?”
The nerve of her to ask me when I should be the one asking her. “The question is, what the fuck are you doing here? How old are you? I thought Darvin and Katarina’s sister was still a kid.”
“Well, apparently kids grow up too.” She snapped at me, rolling her eyes as she crossed her arms against her chest.
I shook my head, leaning my elbow on the window before pointing at the bags sitting on the ground. “You didn’t answer my question. What are you doing here? Running away?”
“None of your business. Who are you anyway?”
“Alpha Jacob.”This is going to be fun.
I would have said Alpha Riley but with my Alpha’s constant visits to their territory, they might have crossed paths and she would know it wasn’t him.
“Oh, Goddess!” She clamped her hand over her mouth as the color started to drain from her face. “I’m sorry, Alpha.”
Nice. Now I know what it feels like to be an Alpha.
“No harm done. Now talk. Are you running away? Spill everything or I’ll roll off command to let you speak the whole truth.” My mouth twitched, but I suppressed the smile from tugging at my lips.
“I’m waiting for my boyfriend. He should have picked me up two hours ago, but maybe he got sidetracked.”
Or maybe already fucking someone else.
“Hop in. I’ll drive you home.”
“No. I need to wait for him, and besides, Darvin will…”
“Darvin will raise hell if he realizes you’re not home. How old are you anyway?”
“Seventeen.”
