"Get up or, so help me goddess, I will carry you." this isn't the kind-hearted, gentle male I'm used to. This is an enraged Alpha who has almost lost something that he believes belongs to him. I slowly stand, keeping my eyes cast down as I trail behind him back to the pack house. Once inside, Theo brings me to his office before shutting the door behind us. Closing me into a small room with an angry Alpha.

"Alexandra, you have ten seconds to start explaining yourself." he says pinning me with a glare as he pinches the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"Please just let me leave." I beg my voice barely louder than a whisper but laced with desperation.

"WHY?!" he shouts, his anger getting the best of him and his hands that are gripping the desk cause the wood to let out a groan. Theo's dominance spreading throughout the room, feeling as if it's suffocating me.

I'm not strong, I'm weak. I can't stand up to this Alpha anymore, to my mate anymore. I crumple. My knees hit the floor hard, my hand coming up to cover my mouth trying to stifle the sob that's attempting to escape. "Please." I whimper and Theo's eyes begin to soften, losing the hardness they possessed from his anger. He moves towards me but I hold up a hand, I can't bear to have him near me right now.

Instead he kneels on the ground in front of me, "Alexandra, I'm sorry for my earlier actions but I couldn't lose you especially not when it's so obvious you're in danger. I'm begging you, let me help you little warrior."

I shake my head, tears running down my face, "I can't lose anyone else, I can't, I won't survive."

"Please talk to me love." his voice pained, it's obviously taking all his willpower to not touch me.

Taking a shuddering breath, I look at him, "Everyone I've ever cared about is dead, my entire my family, my pack. I can't watch this pack get destroyed just because of me, they'll come." I bring my legs up to my chest, hugging them closely as my tears continue to flow. Apparently this is Theo's breaking point and I feel him pull me into his lap, rocking us both as he tries to lessen my pain. I cry for my loss, I cry for thinking I could force my moon blessed mate away and for causing him pain, I cry for the unknown future we have waiting for us.

Short but emotional. It looks like Alex has finally accepted the bond understanding that it's futile to resist. The couple has a lot they need to open about to each other. How is Alex going to be able to talk about her troubled past when she tries to ignore it to the best of her ability?

As always, thank you for reading and comments are always welcome!
