Chapter 4 What's wrong with those people

We arrived at the airport and headed straight to the plane. I was even more worried to embark on the journey. "What's wrong hun," his Beta asks looking concerned.

"I. . I've never flown before," I spoke nearly in a whisper however I knew he could hear me. He laughed.

"Oh kid, it's the best," he says, setting his hand on mine and guiding me closer to the plane. Alpha William lets out a small growl that makes me jump. He quickly looked at me with concern. But his Beta just ignores him and continues to manoeuvre me to the plane.

"There are drinks and food and even a bed for taking a nap. I love flying. Well, I love flying privately," He chuckled. The Alpha simply shakes his head. We walk into the aeroplane. It's so beautiful. There is a couch and 4 single seats, each set with a table.

There's a velvet curtain serving as a partition to another room that has a mattress in the back.

The beta walked in and sits in one of the single chairs. He gestures for me to sit down on the couch and I complied. The Alpha sits next to his beta. I can see both of them staring at me. However, before they could say, a lady walked in and asked if we would prefer any refreshment.

They both order a whiskey. The woman then comes over to me and asked," And what can I get for you, sweetie?"

"Oh no, thank you. I don't want anything. " I said shyly.

"Bring her water to drink, Sarah," says the beta.

"Sure," Sarah bobbed her head upwards and goes to the front of the plane.

"Since I was once born, I have never seen anyone act this shy before," Liam stated in his head

"I'm trying not to overwhelm her, however, do not suppose she's ever even been out of that house," I reply. We are all sitting in the aircraft in silence.

"Sir, we are about to take off," Sarah tells me as she delivers our drinks. "We might reach our destination at two pm," she informed us. I saw the look of shock on Bridget's face.

"It's a 3-hour straight ride," I explained. She collects the water from Sarah and nods in appreciation.

"Man, this is going to be a lengthy plane ride," Liam said through the mind-link. I gave him an unamused look.

After about fifty mins, Bridget seems to have relaxed a bit. Liam and I discuss some plans that we have about the new training facility we want to build. We have three plans to decide on.

After about an hour of arguing with Liam, discussing all of our options and arguing on a few satisfying ones, we finally decide on a plan. I glanced over to check on Bridget and saw that she had fallen asleep while we were working. I get Liam's attention and point at her,

"Do you think this means she's getting more comfortable?" Liam laughed.

"Should I leave her here or take her to the bed?" I asked him.

"Maybe it's too soon to carry her off to bed. " Liam says, pointing to the closet where there are extra blankets. I get up and grab one and move to her. I lay the blanket on her as gently as I can.

This is the closest I have been to her. I notice her shirt is hiked up on her side revealing the end of a scar. That's when it hits me. She is wearing long sleeves and jeans, is it to cover up her scars? I felt a wave of anger rush over me.

"What's the wrong man?" Liam asks in my head. I know he can feel my anger from there. I finish covering her and move to the back of the plane with Liam right behind me.

"What's up, man?" Liam asks glancing concerned.

"Liam, I have a feeling she is covered in scars. She is wearing long sleeves and pants in the middle of July. And I saw the end of a scar on her side. I don't know why I just felt so angry," I said pacing back and forth. I want to punch something so bad.

Rage is filling me up inside and I feel like I'm going to explode.

"Excuse me," a shy voice grabs our attention.

"WHAT!?" I shout, my voice filled with anger. It's Bridget. She bounces and looks like she wants to crawl into herself and disappear.

"Oh Bridget, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...," I trailed off when Liam walked to her

"What can I get for you huh?" He asked softly.

A small growl leaves my mouth out of my control. Her eyes are glued to the floor.

"I just wanted to know where the bathroom is," She says in a whisper.

Liam moves forward and stands in front of the door.

"It's right here my lady," He says as he opens it and bows. She shyly giggled and steps forward. She then heads into the bathroom and Liam turned to me with a grumpy look. "Man you have to get it together. You can't just shout at her. " He shouted.

"I didn't mean to. Man, this is not how I imagined meeting my mate would be. She acts like she doesn't even feel the mate bond," I say in a huff.

Bridget comes back from the bathroom and moves back to the couch.

"Bridget, would you like to sleep on the bed instead? I know that sofa isn't that comfortable." I asked with a laugh.

"Oh, I don't mind. It's much more comfortable than the bed I have at home and it's bigger," she whispered the last part.

"But if I'm in the way. I can stay in the other room Alpha." Her eyes never left the floor. I sighed and answered, "Bridget, you are not in the way. I just want to make sure you are comfortable." She looked up and smile then turned around and heads back to the couch.

"Did she just say that the couch is bigger than her bed at home? What the hell is wrong with those people?" Liam mumbled behind me.

"I feel like it's going to be a long road before I can get her to be comfortable with me," I said almost defeated. The rest of the plane ride is quiet and Bridget slept off again. I and Liam continued our conversation.
