Chapter 4

Alora was in her room, angry that everything had gone wrong in her life.

Why should she take all this crap?

She could get away and start her life again, without this mate shit, but there was something that pulled her to him.

Maybe it was his wolf or something, however, he didn't want her, Kayden didn't, so why bother staying when everything was so stupid?

Ella knocked and came in with the food.

Alora just looked at her and turned her head away.

"Don't bother, I've lost my appetite", she told her.

"Please, Alora, finish your dinner, Alpha will get mad if you don't", Ella told her.

"What's wrong with this man, damn it?!" She said, frustrated.

Ella sighed and put the tray down.

"Listen, he's not a bad person, he just suffered much, that's all," Ella said.

"We all suffered, Ella, but that doesn't gave us the right to be mean", Alora said.

"That's true, but he really went a lot, especially when his parents died and he needed to take over the pack, you remember that", Ella told her.

"Are you serious?" Alora asked in disbelief.

"The same day when I lost my parents, Kayden lost his, he was barely 18, of course I remember that day", her voice became quiet, as a whisper.

"I was only 16", she said like she remembered something, and her eyes filled with tears.

"Yes, and I was 18, just find out that Jake and I were mates", Ella said.

"That was the same time when Alpha found his mate too, just 6 months after the deaths", she said, then stayed quiet.

"Are you going to tell me what the hell happened after I left, or you just going to sit there in quiet?" Alora asked her.

"There's not much to tell, actually", Ella said, with a painful smile.

"Dana was from a big, rich pack and she didn't want anything with Alpha Kayden", she said.

"What?" Alora thought that she heard wrong.

"That was her name, Dana?", Alora asked.

"Yes", Ella answered.

"In that time, we were a small pack, not that strong and big, not to mention that rich, as we are now, especially when Kayden needed to start from beginning", she said.

"Please, go on", Alora told her.

"Well, there were a few packs that heard what's happened and offered help, which was badly needed and Kayden accepted it until she came, and everything changed."

She was from the Black Mountain pack, an Alpha's daughter, and they are filthy rich, well, at least they were back then, now we are too, I guess", Ella continued.

"When she finds out that Kayden is her mate, she refuses him instantly, saying she deserves to be treated as she used to, instead of living in poverty, so she rejects him."

"No one knows about that, except Jake and me, no one Alora, and now you know", Ella looked at her, pleadingly.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me, but my God, that's mean, even for a bitch like that one is", Alora commented.

"True", Ella said.

"So, he refuses their help and dedicates his life to making this pack what he is today, what we all are today."

"The biggest pack in the country", Ella said proudly.

"What's weirder is that he never talked about that, never mentioned to anyone that he met his mate, except tonight, when he told you, so everybody thinks that you are his first one, after so many years and we all are so happy because of it, me especially, Ella said to her.

"I honestly couldn't believe that he told you that, Alora", Ella said.

"I think you affect at him much more than he knows ", she said.

"You mean making him pissed at me all the time?" Alora said.

"No, I mean that you are making him feel something he didn't know he could", Ella said.

"Yeah, by putting myself into the dungeon, again", Alora said.

Ella smiled.

"I doubt that", she said.

"I never saw him like that before, he's different around you, even when he's mad", Ella told her.

"Ella...", Alora started, but she interrupted her.

"I know what you are going to say, but please, give him a chance, please", Ella begged her.

"What chance, the man practically took my whole life from me, I can't let I'm do that, I want it back", she protested.

"You know it doesn't work that way, Alora", Ella said.

"You two are mates, you owe yourself a chance for happiness, you know that, don't be stupid and throw all that away", Ella told her.

"He is so...ugh!" Alora sighed.

"Not to mention that he started awfully wrong, by practically imprisoning me" " she stated.

"Oh, come on, he's an Alpha, what did you expect, that he will let you go away just like that?"

"He wouldn't do that even if you're not his mate, you probably would still be at the dungeon", Ella said.

"Yeah, and my own brother put me there", Alora said.

"You know he couldn't disobey, besides, he knows that Kayden is fair Alpha, no matter of his so-called cruelty", Ella said.

"It's his enemies that just talk like that about him, not even knowing him", she said.

"I don't know if I can do that, Ella", Alora almost cried.

"You can try", Ella told her.

"I don't think I can", she whispered.

Ella just watched her, not saying a word, and then she left the room as if someone told her to do it.

Alora felt bad.

She was upset and confused, not knowing what to think, she just wanted to close her eyes and sleep, pretending like it was just a bad dream.

She slowly started to prepare herself for bed, when she heard the familiar heavy footsteps approaching the room.
