Chapter 3: THE WOMAN ON MY BED

“The King has sent some women along with a message again.” Raphael, My Beta glanced at me through the mirror before his eyes returned to the road in front of him.

My fists clenched, I already knew what this ‘message’ would contain.

“Tell him I'm not interested,” I sighed, staring out the open window. The drive to the town had been a long one, and I noticed how much the town had changed from the last time I was here.

The town was under a pack I commanded but even after all these years, the evening air still smelt the same.

Fresh and filled with nothing but sins of my past.

“You will have to listen to him one of these days.” Raph’s voice broke through my thoughts. “You aren't getting any younger.”

“I don't need a woman to warm my bed.” I gritted through my teeth. My father, the Alpha King has been trying all he could to get me to take a woman to my bed. He wanted a grandchild, one that would be a possible heir to the throne but I’ve defied him all these years.

It wasn't like I was interested in becoming the Alpha King anyway.

Raphael sighed, “You're putting me in a tight spot.”

I knew I was, Raphael was my Beta but he couldn't defy the Alpha King’s command.

I took a sip of the drink in my hand, a rare type of wine my father had sent as a gift along with his annoying message. Father was hell-bent on making me sleep with a woman, but there was no way in hell I would let that happen.

At the age of 32 when other wolves had long found their mates, I remained mateless, cursed by the Moon goddess never to have a mate. It was a curse passed down from my ancestors, one that even my father couldn't escape, and had to resort to finding a she-wolf to bear his pups.

I was one of those pups.

The curse never bothered me, I was a heartless monster after all. A mate was nothing more than a liability, an excuse to make even the strongest of Alphas weak but not me. I was the most powerful werewolf that existed and I certainly did not need a mate.

The car drove past building after building before finally stopping in front of a two-story building. It was a small hotel I asked Raph to book for my stay In the Nightshade Pack.

I was due to arrive tomorrow for the Alpha’s daughter’s coming-of-age party but I decided to drop in today so no one knew of my arrival. I didn't need to worry about anyone recognizing me because not everyone knew what I looked like.

If it wasn't for the favor the Alpha and his wife had done a few years ago, I would’ve never agreed to come to this party. I never liked the Alpha of Nightshade and his woman annoyed me to the core. She has been trying her best to pin her brat of a daughter on me for a while now.

The hotel’s ground floor reeked of alcohol the moment we walked in. It looked like some sort of party was being held with a bunch of horny people sprawled all over the place— Disgusting.

Raphael took care of the formalities while I walked straight to my room to rest. I took a quick shower and was throwing a shirt on when the door to my room opened and a woman hurried in, locking the door behind her.

What on earth? How dare they send a woman to me?

Angrily, I closed the distance between us in the blink of an eye and growled in my Alpha tone “How dare you come in here?”

She looked up and at the same time, a strong scent of lilac hit me, taking me by surprise as my wolf, Haze pranced around in delight.

Before I could make sense of what was happening, the tiny figure pulled me into a kiss. I pushed her away almost immediately but then she kissed me again.

This time, I found it hard to pull away. The smell of her arousal was thick in the air. It smelt so delicious that It took me all I had in me not to bend her over right there and then to have a taste.

I almost scoffed realizing the thought that crossed my mind. What on earth was happening to me?

“Get.Out.Of.My.Room.” I forced the words out, ignoring the growing bulge in my pants. I was hard, so fucking hard. My body didn’t feel like mine anymore as something took over. An urge, a beastly urge that wanted to devour the woman in front of me.

This wasn’t me… I was never like this with a woman. What on earth was happening to me?

Whatever self-restraint I was practicing shattered the moment I saw her lick her lips. I captured them and without a second thought, took her to the bed where I pleasured her.

I had never seen a sight more sexy as I watched the red-haired woman beneath me writhe and moan in pleasure.

I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer, drilling her dripping pussy without mercy. She was close, I could feel it as her back curved, her waist grinding faster than ever but just when she was about to explode, someone knocked on the door.

A groan of frustration escaped my lips but I never stopped moving. I pumped harder and faster till her entire body shook in my arms as she came all over my dick.

My thrusts continued till minutes later, I exploded into her dripping pussy before rolling off her body.

The knock came again, this time forcing me to get out of bed.

I threw on a robe before walking to the door, wondering who dared to interrupt us.

“Alpha,” Raphael’s face came into my view, he looked hesitant.

“What is it, Raph?” I replied impatiently. My mind was only on the naked woman in my bed. I wouldn’t mind a second or third round.

“Well… about the wine the king had sent earlier… I found out it was laced with a good amount of Lust Bane.”

Lust Bane? Fuck, I knew what that was. A crazy aphrodisiac which once taken awakes carnal desires the moment one smelt the opposite sex. That must explain why my self-control vanished into thin air in the presence of that woman.

“Father….” My eyes darkened. I should’ve known. My father would stop at nothing to fulfill his desires.

“Forgive me for not realizing sooner,” Raphael continued, “But you don’t have to worry about that because I’ve already sent away all the women the King arranged for you.”

I frowned. What was he talking about?

“What are you talking about? You sent all the women away?” I asked and he nodded.

Confusion was written all over my face. If Raphael had sent all the women away, who was the woman on my bed then?
