The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

A tradition? Who in the hell comes up with this? Why would anyone want to hold off from having s*x with their mate?

"That's f****d up". The words were out before I could stop them. "He would rather I suffer in pain so he can show everyone he resisted the urge?". I was speechless. Did no one ever think to ask the female how they would feel in this situation? "I didn't think he would participate Leah. You both have been waiting so long to complete your bond. f I'm bonest I wasn't expecting, you home until at least Monday"."

A laugh fell from my lips. I couldn't wrap my head around how crazy this was. He was doing all of this to get his ego stroked. "I need to not be here right now". I got to my feet. I didn't even know what to say to her.

"Please don't leave".

"I don't want to be around him". Jake had done and said a lot of things that made me question if I wanted to be with him but this, this was too far. I had stuck by him through everything, forgave him for his mistakes and this is what he does to me. "I understand Leah but please don't run off. He won't like that".

"I can't stay here". He would rather hurt me than love me. "I won't be a part of this just so he scores a few points within the pack. If he wants to prove how strong he is, then let's see how long he can really last". "Leah please-...".

"I'll be back soon I promise".

My skin itched and tingled but I had gotten used to the slight burn. Pushing the plate to the side a sigh fell from my lips. My appetite gone I got to my feet and left.
