Filed To Story: Claimed by the Alpha I Hate Book Read Free
Frustrated and wanting more, I decided to head to the swimming hole.
Any memories of Scott and I at the swimming hole had faded under Alpha Nolan’s touch. Alpha Nolan’s touch seared my skin and sent waves of pleasure tumbling down.
I left the pack house and frowned, I assumed Mason and Breyona would’ve stuck around. One quick look at my phone and I see why they hadn’t. I was in the locker room for nearly half an hour with Nolan.
I could only hope the scent of my arousal faded by the time tomorrow came around.
I decided to call home and let Dad know I wouldn’t be heading back from training right away.
“Hello, Daisy.” My Grandma’s voice sounded on the other end of the phone and I sighed with relief.
“Hey Grandma, I won’t be home for a little bit.” I replied, scrambling for an excuse.
There was a pause on the other end, “Does this have something to do with Alpha Nolan?”
I clamped my lips together and struggled for words. Grandma had always been a little too smart for her own good. She always seemed to know things she shouldn’t. Dad and I used to joke that she’d be a witch if it wasn’t for her werewolf blood.
“No.” I chuckled, trying to make it sound effortless. “I just need some time to myself after what happened last night.”
“I understand, dear.” Grandma’s kind voice called out, “Will Breyona or your other friend be with you?”
“No..” I frowned, hoping she wouldn’t tell Dad.
“Just be safe, Daisy.” Grandma’s voice was stern, “I know you’re more than capable of taking care of yourself, but try and stay clear of the forest for now.”
“I will Grandma.” I lied.
After I hung up the phone, the guilt set in. I hated lying to Grandma, but the swimming hole had always been somewhere safe and private I could go. Living in a pack was like having an entire town of siblings, there was never any alone time.
I strolled down the road and to the edge of the forest, my eyes flickering around as I stepped inside.
The sounds of the forest always worked to calm my nerves. The crickets and birds mixed with the smell of wet earth was like a sedative.
In no time I could hear and smell the fresh water.
I had enough tormenting from Alpha Nolan today, and decided to keep my clothes on. I simply walked to the edge of the water and sat down on one of the giant rocks. This rock in particular had a flat and smooth surface.
While some part of me had missed home, another side desperately missed Grandma’s cottage.
Her little cottage with a dense forest surrounding it, was one of my favorite places to be. There was endless privacy for when Maya simply needed a run. The density of the forest around Grandma’s house provided the perfect coverage for Maya to run around undetected.
The fresh smell of herbs and wet grass in the morning had become the alarm I loved waking to. The wolf and human side of me were at odds.
Maya loved living on her own, nothing but forest surrounding us. She chafed under command.
I on the other hand felt a sense of duty to my family. Dad needed me, and Sean did too whether he’d admit it or not. Things felt complete with Grandma living with the three of us.
My churning sea of thoughts were cut short by the rustling of bushes and cracking of twigs.
I had already assumed Alpha Nolan somehow followed me to the swimming hole again, but the noise was coming from the opposite direction.
I scrambled off the smooth rock and away from the rushing water when a face I had once loved came into view, a face I never wanted to see again.
Scott.
Scott emerged from the brush of the forest, looking exactly how I had remembered him.
His sandy blonde hair was slightly longer now, and his torso was a little more swollen with muscle. His blue eyes held the same arrogance they had held his entire life.
His blue eyes were full of caution and some strange emotion as he slowly approached me.
“I’m alerting the others.” Maya snapped.
“Wait.” I demanded, “I want to hear what he has to say.”
“If he gets too close, I’m ripping his head off.” Maya growled.
“Agreed.” I replied.
“Daisy.” Scott breathed, “It’s been a long time.”
I blinked at him stupidly. Out of everything he’s done and put this pack through, that’s all he has to say?
“No kidding.” I snapped, “You better come up with something better unless you want the others to find out you’re here.”
Scott shook his head, “You wouldn’t call them on me, would you Daisy?”
“Like you said, it’s been a long time.” I kept my voice indifferent, staring at him with hard eyes.
Seeing Scott in person was proof that things had indeed changed. The butterflies that once scattered in my stomach under his blue-eyed gaze were now nonexistent. Looking into the depths of his ocean eyes invoked none of the feelings they had used to. All I felt for him now was hate, a dangerous emotion for any creature to hold.
“Daisy.” Scott’s voice turned soft as he took another step towards me, “You know I’d never hurt you.”
My heart squeezed at the sincerity in his words, but my mind knew better. Scott only held interest in himself, he cared for only himself. The girl who had been raised along side him was the one hurting.
The new Daisy felt nothing for him.
Scott took another tentative step, “I made a mistake, Daisy. I never should’ve left you.”
“Don’t listen to him.” Maya growled, her eyes locked on Scott.
I shook my head, “I’ll never listen to him again.”
My heart squeezed again as Daisy from the past finally heard the words she had been dreaming of.
“Just a few more steps.” Maya murmured, and I was in silent agreement with her.
“What’s done is done, Scott.” I snapped, “You found your mate, now get lost.”
Scott shook his head, “She means nothing to me. It’s always been you, Daisy. I’ve loved you since the beginning, and even now I can’t get you out of my head.”
