The Alpha's Young Mate novel Chapter 14

Rosalind's POV

Thunder rumbles in the sky as I run through the emty field while Alexa yells for me to wait up, but I ignore her and continue running. I stop when I see a red wolf walking towards me. The wolf walks up to me and I pet her head.

Alexa finally reachs me and tries to catch her breath, "You couldn't just stop and wait for a while or at least slow down?"

I shrug my shoulders. "Sorry."

Alexa rolls her eyes at me before we both climb on my mom's back and she runs us home.

When we reach the pack house I jump off my mom's red back and run over to Clayton; when I was nine I finally understood that his name wasn't Alpha.

"Hey Rose." He says smiling at me.

"Clay, when can I ride your wolf?" I ask. He promised he would give me a ride yesterday but then he got busy with his alpha duties. Ever since last month he's been avoiding me, we used to be always doing fun stuff together, but now he barely even talks to me throughout the day.

"How about right now?" He asks me with a smile. I smile when he says that, and he shifts into his huge grey wolf.

I wonder what color my wolf will be when I shift, I hope it's something like black or dark brown.

I get on Clay's back and he starts running into the Eastern Woods. He slows down by a little stream and walks along side it before I get off and sit in the grass. He sits with me while I pet his soft fur.

I feel a drop of rain hit my cheek and I look to the sky. Clay stands up and nudges me to get on his back, I do so and it starts down pouring rain.

He starts running again and jumps over a small cliff — for a moment it felt as if I were flying. I smile and he runs back in the direction of the house through the hard rain.

When we get to the house I jump off him and run towards the house while he shifts and gets pants on.

When he is done he hurries over to me and we both run inside the house out of the rain but it's to late, we are already drenched.

"Rose, go change into some dry clothes." My mom says walking out of the kitchen. I roll my eyes at her and head upstairs to her and dad's room.

After I'm dressed in a black sweater and grey leggings I run down stairs to find Clay.

I know he's in his office; he's always in there working. I know I shouldn't bother him when he's working, but he's the only person I like to hang out with really, besides Alexa.

I run down the hall to his office and stop at the doors, before I knock he says come in so I do.

When I come in right away he smiles.

"Hey Clay, what's up." I say as I go and sit down on the small black couch sitting in the corner of the room.

"Just doing some paperwork." He laughs, I get up and walk over to him while he sits behind the desk.
