Alpha’s Hybrid Cinderella
Chapter 100

Peelle

I was practically shaking in anger as I left Eda and went to go confront my brother. I can't believe the way that he has treated her, and she doesn't deserve it!

If he would just give her a chance, then he would know that she isn't a threat to our pack.

I walk into his room and before he can say anything I say, "Look, I know we're not close. I know that I'm not your favorite person or whatever, but this girl, Eda, is both of our mates. You can't storm in acting like you own her whenever you haven't even tried to spend any time with her!"

He stared at me and didn't say a word. It made me angry to see that he didn't even have a response to his behavior. I run my hands through my hair, tugging on the ends as I ask, "Do you even realize the affect you have on her?"

When he doesn't answer I can't help but curse. What is wrong with him?

I say, "Osborn, you've looked for this girl for freaking years! What is wrong with you? I thought you would treat her well because you seemed so desperate to have a mate."

He says nonchalantly, "Nothing is wrong with me. She's a rogue."

How can he care about that? This is the woman the moon goddess made for us. I respond, "So what? She's your mate! And if you would take a few minutes to actually talk with her then you would realize she's so much more than 'just a rogue"." He dismisses me, "Leave Peelle."

I shake my head before I warn him, "I'd be careful if I were you, Osborn. You might lose her forever if you don't chance your behavior."

He yells as I walk out the door, "Get out!"

I slam the door behind me and I breathe deeply as I go search for my parents. I need their advice. I don't know how I'm supposed to be around Eda knowing that she's sad that my brother isn't accepting of her.

I find my parents in their bedroom and the door was open. Still, I tap on the door as I ask, "Can I talk to you?"

My mom looks over me with her eyebrows furrowed. She can sense that I'm frustrated and that's not my normal nature. She says, "Of course, Peelle, what's going on?"

I take a seat beside her in the sitting area of their room and I say, "It's upsetting me the way Osborn is treating Eda. It's hurting her to have one of her mates reject her without outright rejecting her. I don't know how to make things better and I don't know how to handle the frustration I feel with him."

My dad places his hand on my shoulder and pats it as he says, "I know that it's a frustrating situation. But with time Osborn will get over it. No one can resist the mate bond."

My mom adds, "Your dad's right. Eventually you can't help but fall for your mate."

My parents look at each other adoringly and I know I shouldn't give up hope on my brother. My brother is so much like our dad. If dad was able to fall for mom, then surely, with time, Osborn will fall for Eda. Osborn

Peelle's presence unsettled both me and my wolf.

My wolf is agitated knowing that I have hurt our mate, but at the same time, we both detest rogues. And at the end of the day... she is a rogue.

How can I trust her? How can I know that she isn't going to betray me?

Yes, I should be able to trust her for the simple fact that she is my mate, but... there's so much more going on here.

I walk out of my room and as I do I see Eda from across the hall. She stares at me with wide eyes and for a moment I'm captivated by her. Her fiery red hair is brushed to the side, her amber eyes are captivating and are wide as she can't tear her eyes away from me. I clear my throat as I step away and head toward the stairs. My body freezes when I hear her voice say, "I'm here when you're ready."

My body is tense, and I don't know how to answer so I continue to walk down the stairs. I'm drawn to her, and I don't want to be. She is a rogue! A disgusting, vile rogue!

Once I'm outside I let out a loud growl as my wolf takes over. He runs along the path we normally go, searching for anything he can kill. Desperately needing to burn off this anxious energy as we keep away from our mate.

Eda

I wasn't planning on seeing Osborn. I just wanted to go get a drink, but when I stepped out of my room... there he was.

He was ridiculously good looking. How is it possible?

Both he and Peelle are good looking but in entirely different ways. Peelle has a very relaxed demeanor and made me feel like he could be my best friend and a very sweet lover.

But... Osborn... he looks professional and cold. I think we would b**t heads a lot in day-to-day life, but when it came time for him to take me to the bedroom that he would dominate me and want me to submit to his every whim.

The thought of him being rough with me made me feel weak in the knees. It's odd because if I imagined that with anyone else it would make me feel uncomfortable, but not with him. Even if he is cold towards me now, there is something about him that is familiar and that makes me inclined to trust in him.

I walk downstairs and see Alita sitting on the couch playing some game. I walk towards her curiously and ask, "What is this?"

"A video game." She responds, but her eyes stay glued to the TV screen. She asks, "Do you want to join?"

"I don't know how to play." I respond feeling somewhat embarrassed. I have not lived a normal life. I hope she doesn't think of me as odd.

She looks back at me and says, "Come on, I'll teach you. It looks like you'll be a part of the family. We should get to know one another."

I smile as I take a seat beside her, thrilled by her welcoming me in.
