PREVIOUSLY IN The Alpha's Mate is a Tomboy...

Cole and I decided to just forget about Ash in the meantime and just enjoy the sun. A few minutes later, Tyler arrived with some refreshments and we started to have fun.

When it was time for lunch, Tyler and Cole helped me prepare some food for Ash.

"Can we just add a little dosage of poison in his food so Hale's suffering will finally be over?" Tyler asked.

Obviously, Tyler didn't like Ash's conditions. He said he was abusing his power and it doesn't help that Tyler doesn't really like Ash. Like they are not on friendly terms.

He is just civil to him because he's our next Alpha but he never liked him nor even tried to make friends with him.

"If killing is not a crime I would have done that a long time ago. " I said,

"Stop it you two, we can get in trouble if  someone will hear us, you know," Cole said,

"Well, he is not exactly my favorite person at the moment," Tyler said,

"When did he ever?" Cole asked jokingly,

"I still don't know why you hate him so much," I said curiously,

I know he doesn't like Ash but he never really said why.

"His personality is enough to make me dislike him." Tyler grumbled before he added, "Anyway I need to go, I promised to help a friend out." He kissed my forehead and bumped fist with Cole before he left.

➖➖➖

Cole kissed my forehead and whispered some words of encouragement in my ear before he knocked on Ash's bedroom door and left.

"Come in," Ash said in a cheerful voice,

I scowled and yelled, "And how am I supposed to do that if you won't open the door, ash-hole. I am carrying a damn tray for Shrek's sake."

"Oh, right." I heard him mumble before he chuckled.

I heard some series of footsteps before the door finally opened.

"Good noon, sir. How may I help you?" He asked teasingly,

"Unless you want this soup to be poured all over your obnoxious self then I suggest you get this tray from me and just text me what you want me to do next," I grumbled angrily.

He grinned and said, "You're the slave, not the other way around so why don't you put the tray on my bed."

I did as told but not without stomping my feet angrily on his floor.

"You know, I'd say you're cute but that would be wrong since guys are not supposed to be called cute unless you will agree to be in the puppy category."

"I don't need your stupid compliments, Ash-hole. Just tell me what I am supposed to do next so I can leave."

He closed the door and walked to his bed before taking a seat near the headboard.

"Feed me."

I just scoffed and put the tray of food in the bed.

"If you're done acting up, just text me and let me know what's the next task," I said before turning to leave.

"I already told you what's the next task, Lee. I said, feed me."

I halt and turned to him angrily, "You are not disabled or paralyzed so why don't you feed yourself?"

"But I want you to feed me. I know you are dying to have a moment with me and now is your chance." He said teasingly, patting the space next to him.

My wolf rejoiced while I became angrier.

"When are you going to get it in your dead brain cells that I don't like you? Share this moment with Carmen, I know she's the one who's dying to spend time with you."

"Is that jealousy I hear?" He asked teasingly,

I scoffed and crossed my arms, "Please, as if I will ever feel any ounce of jealousy when it comes to you."

I smell something burning. Oh wait, that's your soul being barbecued in hell, Haylee. You lie way too much. My wolf said.

I ignored her and made my way to the door again.

"If you won't feed me then just forget the little progress you made, Lee. Because I won't sign that waiver." Ash said, taunting me.

I huffed angrily and stormed back to where he is.

"I can see smoke coming from your ears, Lee. Maybe you should tone the fire down a little."

My wolf laughed and said, See, even he knows you're burning in hell. Just tell him that he's our mate already so you won't suffer anymore.

Please, like that will ever happen. If he will find out that we're his mate he will make me suffer more, trust me.  I replied.

You know, if I were in your position, I'd be kind so he will feel guilty in ordering me around. He's pushing your buttons because he finds it entertaining how you get so easily worked up. My wolf said,

It's Ash-the-freakish-asshole, who wouldn't get worked up if they have him to deal with?

I just decided to block my wolf and sat beside Ash then start to silently feed him.

I avoided looking at his face and decided to stare at the food instead.

"You know, what you are doing is very impolite."

"Feeding you is impolite?" I scoffed and added, "oh please."

He chuckled and said, "You are feeding me yet you are staring at the food."

I looked up and glared at him, "Well, it is also rude to stare so I'd rather be impolite than be rude."

He laughed, "My sweet little Lee-Lee, impolite is the synonym of rude."

I blushed and muttered, "I know that."

"Yeah right. Whatever makes you sleep soundly at night."

The next thirty minutes consisted of me feeding him while he constantly teased me. I said some sarcastic remarks but most of the time I just remained quiet.

After emptying the plates, I stood up and carried the tray.

"Just text me what should I do next."

He just nodded so I turned and headed for the door.

I was about to open it using my other hand when he called my name.

"What?" I asked, looking at him.

"Sleep with me."

My whole body froze and the tray that I was holding fell to the floor. I can hear the plates clattering and some are breaking.

"What?" I exclaimed, "Are you out of your already detached mind?"

He stared at me and smirked before he laughed loudly.

I just stared at him, dumbfounded.

What the hell is so funny?

He stopped laughing and said, "You should have seen your face."

He shook his head and laughed again.

I clenched my fist and stormed to him, "You stupid shit, that wasn't even funny." I yelled angrily,

"It wasn't, but your face? Fucking priceless, Lee." He said before he resumed laughing.

I can feel my cheeks heating up from embarrassment.

🔹🔷🔹🔷🔹🔷🔹🔷🔹

I heard a knock on my door but I ignored it. Because if that is my parents or my brother, they will just come in. I just don't really feel like talking to anyone right now. I am still fuming over what had transpired in Ash's bedroom a while ago.

I can't believe that he had the decency to joke around about me sleeping with him like it's trivial.

I know I shouldn't be surprised because he's a freaking manwhore but the thing is, he knows I am still a V-Card holder. Granted I kind of sometimes talk like I am not, but I am still a Virgin from head to toe.

Why am I even overthinking this? He was just probably trying to get this reaction from me.

I huffed and heard another knock on my door.

"Babe, you there?"

I quickly perked up when I realized it's Cole. My ray of sunshine can make me forget this nonsense.

I hurriedly got up and opened the door.

A bright smile quickly appeared on his face, "I have been looking for you. I was really worried Hales, I thought Ash did something to you. You didn't reply to any of my texts and all my calls went to voicemail."

I frowned and pat my pockets. "Where's my phone?" I asked myself, looking around my room.

"Uh-I Don't know?"

"Shit! I must have left it at the pool or in the kitchen."

"Let's look for it then," Cole muttered before he pulled me with him.

We looked for my phone in the vicinity of the pool and the kitchen but we can't find it.

"Harley's going to kill me. That phone was my birthday gift from him." I said dejectedly,

"I know. He spent his savings just to buy that latest iPhone. Let's ask around, maybe someone found it."

We ask around the people who are nearby and even those people that we bumped into earlier.

"I'm sorry Babe but your phone is probably stolen or something. We've been looking everywhere for it and even all the pack members said they haven't seen it as well."

Where could my phone be?

It can't possibly be stolen. Stealing is a major crime here, you can either be stuck in the dungeon for life or you will get kicked out of the pack.

You could ask Ash, you know. You might have left it in his room.  My wolf suggested.

Right. Why haven't I thought of that?

Because you're dumb? My wolf teased,

I just ignored her and told Cole to help me find it in Ash's bedroom. I just hope that he's not there right now. I don't really feel like seeing him yet. I am still mad and a little embarrassed.

"Can you mind link him Cole and ask where he is right now?" I asked Cole when we arrived outside of Ash's bedroom.

He nodded and mind-linked Ash. I just stared at him and prayed in my head that he went out.

Cole nodded and looked at me, "He's in his father's office and he will apparently be there until 6."

A grin quickly appeared on my face. "Really? That's great. Now let's go inside his room."

"What? Hales, No! If we get caught..."

"Trust me, we won't." I interrupted him, "He said he will be at the office until 6 so let's go. Time's running and we ain't moving yet."

"Hales..."

"Pretty please Cole? I am pretty sure my phone is there."

He sighed and opened the door himself.

We went inside and looked for my phone. I looked for it in his bed but it's not there. I turned and looked for it on his nightstand but the lamp is the only thing that is there.

I sat on his bed and huffed. I can hear Cole going through Ash's cabinet and opening some drawers.

"Cole, can you mind link him again and ask him about it? I am pretty sure I left it here."

I can now remember that I put it on the nightstand before I sat on his bed and started feeding him.

"Cole?" I asked when I heard no response, "Coley?" I asked again before I turned to look at him.

I quickly stood up and went to him after seeing the look on his face.

"Why do you look so shocked? What's in the paper?" I asked curiously,

He stared at the piece of paper some more before he looked at me.

The kind of look that says I am doomed.

"Cole, what is it? You're scaring me." I whispered worriedly.

"I can't fucking believe this." He muttered to himself before he reread what's written on the paper.

"Cole please, I'm popping my pants." I tried to joke but let's face it, it ain't funny.

Cole seemed to be in a daze because he just kept staring at the paper.

"Damn it, Cole, what the hell is written in that freaking paper?!" I snapped angrily, getting anxious.

"Tell me honestly Hales, I know it's written here, and seeing as your penmanship is here then the accuracy of this is 101%. But hales. My God! I can't believe this." He rambled.

"Cole, just get straight to the point!"

"Hales, you already found your mate, right?"

I froze and stared at him.

"And it's unfortunately Ash." He continued reluctantly,

"W-what?" I asked before I tremblingly snatched the piece of paper.

I stared at the familiar piece of paper. The paper that Damien passed to me on the day of my birthday. The paper that contains the truth.

How the hell did Ash get a hold of this?
