Chapter Fifty-Four

What?

That was not what I expected her to say, I don't know what I thought she would say but it definitely wasn't this. As usual Rachel watched me carefully and closely, observing my facial expressions and body movement.

"Whose mate?" She thought I was someone's mate? She thinks a werewolf believes I'm his soulmate? I haven't even had any actual interaction with any werewolves here expect for Alpha Alessandro and Teresa.

"Alpha Alessandro."

My heart stopped beating for a second before it began to race so fast and so loud that I was positive she could hear my heart too.

"What?" I gasped the word out.

Alpha Alessandro? She thinks I'm his mate?

Rachel nodded. "Don't tell me that thought never crossed your mind."

A high pitch giggle filled the room and it took me a second to realise the sound was coming from me. "Alpha Alessandro?" My giggles began to turn into laughs. "You think I'm his mate?"

Annoyance filled Rachel's eyes, seeping into her face but I couldn't stop laughing at the absurd words she had said. The more I thought about it the more it made me laugh, maybe I was finally losing it but I couldn't stop laughing.

How could I be Alpha Alessandro's mate?

I'm not the only one losing it, Rachel must be too if she thinks I'm his mate.

"It's not that funny, you can stop laughing."

"I'm sorry." I held my hand up in mock surrender as I continued laughing. "It's just me and Alpha Alessandro, the idea that we're...we're mates is just plain crazy."

Rachel did not like my comment and anger flashed in her eyes before it went blank. "I'm not crazy and I'm not the only one who thinks that."

Then anyone else who thinks that is crazy too.

"If you guys knew what happened between us." I said in between my laughs. "You definitely would not think we're mates."

"What's happened between you two?" Rachel asked casually.

My laughter stopped as I thought about his words, his threats and the times he had actually hurt me.

There was no way I could be his mate, right?

"He.." I paused slightly before changing my mind on my answer. "I'm a prisoner here, trust me I'm not his mate."

"A prisoner huh?" Rachel questioned sarcastically. "I wonder how Alpha Alessandro would react if I hurt myself, I don't think I would get the same reaction."

"I didn't hurt myself." I snapped, tired of her ridiculous questioning. "He hurt me, I was bleeding because of him."

"Okay." Rachel muttered. "What would you like to eat?"

The question threw me off and I blinked a couple of times. "What?"

"What do you want the chef to make? Lisa told me my role is now to look after you until you're well."

"I'm not hungry. Why do you need to 'look after' me?"

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Alpha's orders I guess." She was giving me the knowing look again as if to say she's right and I'm wrong. "Are you always this difficult? Don't make my job harder than it is, choose something to eat."

Even though I wasn't hungry I decided to pick something. "A chip butty please."

Rachel gave me a look that said 'seriously?' before bowing slightly. "Your wish is my command."
