The Alpha's Abused Mate

**a week later”

I'm in the living room dusting the furniture while Damien is on the couch using his laptop. I felt him watching me

"Is there something wrong?" I asked

"Why do you ask that?"

"I felt you staring at me"

He opened his mouth to answer but the door bell rang

"I'll get it"

I went and opened the door. I smiled widely when I saw who it was "Jake!"

He attacked me with a hug

"Hey Carla, I missed you"

We pulled away

"Aw I missed you too"

Damien cleared his throat from behind me

"Hello" Jake greeted

"Hi, and you are?" Damien asked

"I'm Jake"

"He's my friend from school" I responded

Damien's face did not look good at all. He looked like he would strangle Jake at the slightest opportunity.

"Who's he?" Jake asked me

"This is Damien. .uh my..."

I didn't know what to say

"Boyfriend" Damien said

"Oh" Jake looked disappointed

"Yeah that's it" I said

Oh wow. I was not expecting that

"Can I talk to you outside?" Jake asked me

"Sure"

I stepped outside closing the door behind me

"You never told me you had a boyfriend" he frowned

"I don't"

"He said otherwise"

I sighed

"It's complicated"

He looked at me for a while then shook his head.

"Okay I get it"

He handed me a box of chocolate with red roses

"These are for you"

I collected them from him with a wide smile.

"Thank you so much"

"l was worried about you in school. I didn't see you for a whole week" "I was sick that's all"

"Sorry, are you okay now?"

"Yeah, I'll come to school tomorrow":

"Well I wanna ask you something"

"Go ahead"

"The principal announced that there's gonna be prom next week Wednesday. I wanted to know if you'd like to go with me"

My heart did cartwheels. I've never been asked to a school dance before. I am over excited. The best part is I'll be going with a cute guy.

"I'd love to"

"Really?"

"Yes"

"Won't your boyfriend be mad?"

"One..he's not my boyfriend. Two . He doesn't have to know" "Okay good"

“Thanks a lot"

"No problem, get well soon”

"I will, bye"

I entered the house with a big smile on my face.

Damien stood there with a big scowl on his face

I gulped

"Did he give you that?" Damien growled

"Yes alpha"

He took them from me and threw them in the fire place

"But why?" I cried

"I told you I never want to see you around him again"

"I didn't know he was coming"

"Oh didn't you?"

"He's still my friend"

" don't give two fucks who he is. I don't want you near him period" "why?"

"Leave it alone"

He walked up the stairs. I don't know where the confidence was coming from but I followed him to his office closing the door behind us

I'm determined to know why

"Why don't you want him near me?"

"I said leave it alone”

"No I won't"

"Have you forgotten who you're talking to"

"it doesn't matter right now"

"Yes it does. I demand respect”

"I'm giving you respect, I just wanna know why I can't see a friend” "I said leave it alone

"l won't"

"Do you want to be punished?"

"I don't care about that right now. Tell me"

“Carla for the last time. Leave —it-alone"

He said the last part slowly

“No”

"Can't you see he likes you? You're obviously attracted to him too. He's a threat to me. Isn't it obvious?"
