Alpha Niall And His Lost Mate

Chapter 26

Niall's Pov

I knew what I had to do, and I wasn't going to let my mate fall asleep without me.

Valero gave me an encouraging smile as I got up and brushed the dirt from my jeans. I sat beside her at the bank of the river, but she didn't look at me once or acknowledge my presence.

Sighing, I scooted a little closer to her, keeping just enough distance as not to startle her. From what I've witnessed growing up, women are very snappy when they are angry, frustrated or sad, and I didn't even know which one Zoey was feeling--maybe all.

"Why did you leave Niall?" I was shocked to hear her small sweet voice asking me the question. I was still recovering from the shock that she actually spoke to me, that I took a while to answer her question.

"I-um..I came here to try and get more information about where your dad might've been from" I told her truthfully, totally unaware of how she would take it.

She removed her chin from the gap between her knees and her chest as she peered at me. She wasn't saying anything, and her face and eyes didn't give away anything either. It made me anxious to know what was going on in that beautiful mind of hers.

"Please say something Zoey" I sighed, feeling desperate for some sort of emotion from her.

"What am I supposed to say Niall? Thank you? I'm flattered?" Her tone caught me by surprise, and it killed me even more that she was this upset with me. "You could've told me Niall! You SHOULD'VE told me!"

It was then that I saw how much I really hurt her, but it was never my intention to do so. After I arrived, I learnt that they didn't know anything about him. I knew it was a long shot, so I decided to just leave right away without looking back. But when I was about to leave that same day, the mask I used to hide my scent wore off, and they all got so defensive after knowing an Alpha was in their territory.
