Alpha Aiden

Aiden’s Pov

I looked at myself in the mirror trying to get ready for training with other warriors and the image of that night flashed right in my mind. I remember how the serene meadow near the edge of the forest, with a small brook winding through and wildflowers dotting the landscape. The sky is overcast, hinting at an impending rainstorm.

I was eighteen then, I was wandering through the meadow trying to seek solace from the pressures of being the future Alpha. I was in deep in thought when I heard laughter and music in the distance. My curiousity made me follow the sound and emerge from the trees to witness a magical scene.

I stood at the edge of the meadow, mesmerized by the sight before me.

Her hair wet and her dress clinging to her, moved with a grace and joy that took my breath away. I had always known her as the quiet Omega girl, but here, in this moment, she was something else entirely—free, radiant, and utterly captivating.

I felt a strange pull towards her, an emotion I had never experienced before. I watched as she danced, completely unaware of my presence, and something deep within me stirred.

I believed that was the day I started feeling something towards Shenaya. At first I thought it was just a lust and thought when I found my mate I would be better but it gets worse everyday coupled with the fact that my mate is a maniac.

After so many years of lusting over her why did I not feel satisfied after having sex with her?

After the sex I just knew she had to be my mate either choosen or forcefully. I was grateful to the moon goddess when I heard she was pregnant because with the way she was scared of me, I was hundred percent sure if I had ask her to be my chosen mate she would have rejected me immediately and my Alpha ego couldn’t take the rejection. I just had to force a marriage on her so I can finally own her to myself.

I know I have been cruel to everyone of course but I couldn’t help it. My pack has been the most powerful Pack in the whole of Rome from the time of my great grandfather Lucien who had maintained orders in the pack. I couldn’t show any form of weakness because enemies could come through that to get me.

I got to the training field and ground damp with morning dew. My warriors gathered in a circle, stretching and preparing for the day's practice. I stands at the center, my presence commanding attention. I was putting on  a sleeveless training uniform which reveals my muscled arms.

"Today, we focus on endurance and precision," I announced with firm voice and resonant. They all nod with  determination on their faces.

The drill begins with a rigorous run around the perimeter of the field while as the leader, I was at the forefront pack with a relentless pace.

"Keep up!" I shouts over my shoulder when I noticed some of them slacking behind and with that, some of the warriors slacking started to push themselves, not wanting to disappoint me.

After the run, we moved on to combat exercises. I don’t usually participate in this part of the training but today I need a good distraction since my mind has been wandering and thinking about my new bride.

I pairs up with the best fighter to demonstrate techniques with swift, powerful movements.

"Strike here, aim for the vulnerable spots," I instruct with intense eyes and I felt a wave of satisfaction when I saw fear in their eyes. No one dares to challenge me because I am sure they do not want to lose their heads or hearts.

Shenaya’s POV

I found myself a sit quietly at the far end of the hall. The Whole pack  is gathered here for a communal meal. Communal Meals often happen every once in a month in our community, it was the Alpha’s order so he could see his pack members bonding.

 The large dining hall is filled with the smell of food. I kept my head slightly bowed sorely to  avoid direct eye contact with anyone. I didn’t have any friend because my father was my bestfriend and I have been using large amount of perfume ever since I found out I was pregnant. My baby bump is not out yet so I’d like to keep it from all the idiots interested in their Alpha.

I don’t want anyone to know I am his wife either. We need to keep this private between us until I can finally settle with it in my mind.

I started to noticed how the lively chats among pack members started to die down. I watched as children who were playing and noisy became quiet and well-behaved. No one had to tell me before I knew what was going on. I raised my head and there he was all in his glory.

Pack members make way for their Alpha, His Beta clears his sit at the head of the table. His eyes started to survey the room, his eyes missing nothing, his presence a dark cloud over the gathering and everyone trembles.

His is eyes landed on me and I flinch unconsciously as our eyes met. I couldn’t hold his gaze so I quickly looked away. For that brief moment I could swore I saw his stern mask slips, replaced by a flicker of something unreadable—surprise, confusion, and an emotion he quickly suppresses.

What is wrong with this man?
