Once Broken By My Alpha Mate
Chapter 23

I limped myself towards the door but before I could even reach the door, Mason and his pack started to get up. My heart was in full over drive, I had to get me and Nate out of here. I quickly limped myself towards the balcony, and jumped which I fell on Nate's body. "Sorry," I quickly said as I picked him up again and started dragging him away from this place. Not only was I lifting Nate but I was also carrying our bags. "DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!" I heard Mason shout in the distance. I didn't knew how should I feel, feel mad about the fact that my used-to-be-crush is trying to get our heads on his wall, or scared, scared that it might be the end of me and Nate. Maybe both.

Suddenly there was an old pick-up truck, in the back was full of hay. I quickly made my way to the truck and shouted to the driver "Hey! Do you mind if we catch a ride with you!?" the old man driver smiled and said "No problemo! Just climbed in the back," I quickly threw Nate in the back and got inside it and yelled "DRIVE!!!" just right as Mason's pack came outside the small cafe / Motel. The wheels of the truck screeched right as the driver pressed on the gas pedal. Before I could even register it in my mind the truck was already half way away from the cafe / motel.

As my back hit the soft hay, I let out a sigh of relief. Nate was right beside me, fast asleep. I smiled to myself knowing that what I did today saved mine and Nate's life, our future. I looked up to the sun that was about to set and thanked whoever was up there for keeping me and Nate safe. After a few minutes I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up a few hours I guess since all I could see in the sky were stars and dark clouds. I then looked over to my right and saw Nate staring at the stars. "How are you feeling?" I asked, but he didn't answer instead he said "Did you know that the stars are the second most beautiful thing in the planet," randomly. I looked up at the stars and I admired each one of them, "What's the first?" Not taking my eyes off the stars. "You," he said, making my stomach once again swarm with butterflies. I looked at him to see him already staring at me which made me blush like crazy.

His hand touched my cheek then he brushed a strand of my hair behind my ear. We stared in each others eyes as if the world stood still. He then frowned and asked "How are you feeling?" he knew something was wrong with me. Not only could he see it in my eyes but he could feel it through our bond. Even though we weren't fully bonded yet since we haven't mated yet, we still had a bond between us but if we ever mated it would become more stronger.

I then started to cry, I couldn't hold back my emotions any longer even though we were playing this so called 'GAME'. He then started to hug me and caress me as I sobbed into his chest. I've been hurt all my life, first it was all the bullying when I was little, when Chloe my best friend since diapers betrayed me, then as I left my life behind to make it all better or that's what I expected but I was wrong. Chloe tries to kill me, my father lied to me and loves Nikki better, and my mate rejects me. Or what Katy Perry says he is hot and cold. One moment he could be the sweetest thing ever and the next moment he would be rejecting me all over again.

The rain got heavier and we just laid down on the hay, worrying about nothing but just this moment. A few minutes later me and Nate were soaking wet. I touched my face and saw my makeup running down my face. Nate then smiled at me and cupped my cheek "You're so much beautiful without makeup," he said as he wiped the makeup off with his thumb. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Soon we leaned in and our lips met

once more.

This kiss wasn't the same like the others that we have shared together, this kiss had more passion, more love. Compared to our old kisses which were full of lust and desperate need to kiss one another. but this kiss was sweet and soft. Something that can only be shared by mates.

Something I hope would last forever.

I woke up to see the sun shining down upon me and Nate, I looked down to see our bodies entwined with each other. I smiled to myself and bit my lower lip. Suddenly Nate's eyes opened revealing his amazing green eyes that made me melt twice as more as before. "Good morning!" I greeted him. He smiled and said "Good morning beautiful!" As he kissed my forehead. I was confused by this because I was expecting him to reject me all over again.

"Why?" I asked him,
