I Am The Alpha Whiskey, Winter, and Worst Case Scenario 2
He leaned leisurely against the far end of the wooden fence, half-shadowed by the yellow garden lights. A cigarette burned lazily between his fingers, the ember flaring as he took a slow, unhurried drag.The smoke curled past his lips, dissipating into the cold air like a ghost slipping through the cracks of reality. It was a haunting sight. Like I'd met the devil during his smoke break.His hoodie was pushed back slightly, his dark hair stark against the night. He looked untouched by the cold as if winter had decided he was too untouchable, too distant to claim.I had no idea how long he’d been standing there. Watching. His black eyes flicked to me, amused yet seemingly unbothered like he was expecting this.Something sharp and ugly twisted in my stomach. Fate was being cruel bringing us together. That was another messed up manifestation of our bond. Mates will always find a way to meet. It applied even when I didn't want to.Higan exhaled another slow breath of smoke before finally

"Leftovers, that's what you are! Get that through your thin-molded skull," Higan’s voice was gruff and serrated as his words gutted me open.My gloves had frozen solid from my nerves exploding, I couldn't even try to defend myself with them in the way. I desperately wanted to freeze his hands off, to get him off me but I was stuck tight between his hold.His grip on my arms was anything but gentle as his fingers pressed deep enough to bruise and it did. My skin stung under the fabric of my sweater. I winced out loud, grimacing from the growing pain.I tried to find my voice, to tell him off but my words fell apart on my tongue. It lacked the spine I wanted to display.Yet, a strange form of violence was brewing in my blood. I recognized the rage. It was my wolf's. She was pushing for control, she wanted to fight.As much as I'd love to let her, I was at the mercy of his pack grounds. He was still the alpha and I could get killed even if it was self-defense.I was helpless. The realiza

“Pray tell mutt,” Ethan spoke in a measured resonant growl, stopping right in front of Higan. “Why shouldn't I end your misfortune-stricken life right now?“Higan’s shoulders twitched, his fingers flexing like he was considering something reckless. Then the groans got louder. I frowned, darting my gaze toward the source of the sound.I couldn't feel it myself but I knew somehow. Perhaps from the way my body hummed, or from the growing urge to touch Ethan, I knew. It was another pulse of authority.Higan’s breath hitched, and I watched, stunned, enthralled, terrified, as the weight of Ethan’s presence pressed him lower. I sucked in a shallow breath, my gaze darting from one to the other.“That's your defense? More thoughtless recklessness?“ Ethan mocked.I couldn't see the face he was making, all I could see was his back and his head tilted down as he looked down on Higan.The moment stretched, a battle of will and submission, but there was never a real fight. Higan never had a chance.

“I understand you're mad right now but you don't have to yell to communicate Ethan,” I stepped back, turning my gaze away as I folded my arms against my chest.The wind had picked up so the cold bit through my sleeves, but I didn’t move. I couldn’t move, not with the way Ethan was looking at me.“Oh so you do know how to stand up for yourself,” he jabbed in a calmer tone, but it did nothing to soften the impact of his words.My breath caught softly in my lungs. “Surely you're not insinuating that It's so easy to do so with,” I paused,” him.““Why not?“ He bit back, squinting his eyes.I couldn't answer so I chewed on my lip looking down at the road beneath my boots. The knot in my stomach twisted tighter with every second. My chest heaved slightly and my breaths came out in visible puffs. My nerves were frazzled and my body was colder. It was getting hard to think of anything to say.“Because he's your mate?“ He pressed on, spitting the word ‘mate’ like sand in his mouth.A heavy feel

“I can't,” he retorted, tapping a button I guessed was to switch on the heat. I guessed so because my seat suddenly felt warmer.I leaned into the leather chair, letting the tension roll off my back.“So you say yet you can pinpoint my feelings to a thought,” I hummed out a sigh pressing my head against the window.He flexed his grip on the steering wheel. I wasn’t sure why I watched but his hands were awfully tight with tension. “It just comes naturally because we're —” he paused and for a minute, silence haunted us.“Connected,” I say absentmindedly. The word slipped from my mouth, soft and uncertain.“I wouldn't say, connected,” Ethan quickly responded as he drove. I turned to study his profile, the set of his jaw, the muscle ticking in his cheek.“Why not?“ My voice was quieter now, hesitant.A loud heartbeat passed. Then another and finally, after the third heartbeat, he glanced at me. “You're awfully good at keeping your distance, it’s hard to feel connected with you.“I didn't w

“Of all the times a snowstorm could hit,” I grumbled shakily to myself, my teeth chattering as another shiver wracked my body.“It doesn't really respect schedules,” Ethan remarked playfully.I only hummed In response, holding my body tighter hoping some warmth would flourish within me. Nothing happened. Wasn't this the perfect moment for any other of my powers to come alive? Hopefully, one that could stop me from freezing.“you're cold,” Ethan pointed out and I shot him a look, quirking an eyebrow.“Oh really? How'd you come by such a guess?“ I bit back, slightly annoyed.Ethan's gaze flickered to me, sharp and assessing. He ignored my sarcasm. “It's abnormal.”Would he stop staring? I scooted further into my seat, curling my lip in distaste. Something about the situation was prickling my nerves with irritation. “I noticed,” I said with my jaw clenched.“Do you think it's a Melbringer —” he began but I wasn't up for any sessions of speculation.“I can't think right now, Ethan.

“This would be the perfect moment to whip out those blankets,” I shivered from the frigid air biting my skin. I was left in just my undershirt and tights and the thin materials were offering little protection against the creeping cold.Ethan didn’t say anything. Instead, he reached for a thick pile of blankets on the rear parcel shelf. I didn’t notice they were there, neatly folded in one spot.He loosened a black fuzzy one from its fold and draped it around my shoulders. The momentary closing of the space between us left me flustered. For a minute, he was too close and then he was not.The car was quiet, save for the howling wind outside and the rustling of the blankets. I pulled mine tighter around me, trying not to look at him. It was hard not to give the way his arms flexed as he settled a blanket around himself and the slow, controlled breaths he took as he moved.He was a sight, buried under the darkness of his dead car, buried under the snow, he was still quite a sight. A beaut

“I’ve never had a mate.” Ethan began. My breath caught softly in my throat. A frown tugged at my brows. I raised my head slightly, just enough to see his expression. His eyes were hazed and seemingly distant. “Really?” I whispered. He leaned his head back against the seat, staring far ahead into nowhere in Particular. “Not in the way you have.” His lips twisted slightly. “The bond is supposed to be put in place way before we meet the one meant for us, right? That’s how it works for most wolves.” I nodded slowly. “Yeah pretty much.“ He hummed. “But, I was born without the bond.” I blinked. “What do you mean? I thought everyone had a mate.“ Ethan shrugged. “Being an Original is a lot of things. Strength. Longevity. Power beyond what most Alphas can comprehend. But it also means, "Solitude.” He trailed off, exhaling through his nose. “It means I’ve spent years, decades, without that connection.“ The reality of his words sank in. Decades? I knew Originals aged differently,

The room was silent, housing only the fading echo of her words.“I saw you at school. You were attacked by Melbringers.”The words sent a pulse of ice through my veins.“Attacked?“ I stared at her, waiting for some sort of clarification. Some piece of information that would make it make sense. Because it didn’t.Yet the situation felt oddly familiar. Something similar had been said before by her when we first met at the back of my school with Becca.“I’ve seen this before, More times than you can imagine.”A premonition? A vision? Wait, that was ridiculous. Werewolves can't have abilities to look into the future. Right? Even with the little I knew about originals, that would be out of place even for them.But then, I felt the weight of everyone’s eyes on me, felt the way my parents tensed, the way even Tyler shifted uncomfortably. I licked my lips, trying to push past the tightness in my throat.It couldn't be true right?“I don’t…” I glanced at Ethan who stared straight ahead hoping

The drive back to the Stark mansion was surreal as if the world outside the car had softened at the edges. Ethan had called snow plowing services to clear out our path and from there, it was easy driving.The storm had passed, leaving behind a stillness that felt almost reverent. The sky was a crisp blue interrupted with bits of clouds being pushed away by a desperate rising sun.There were still bits of winter gloom in the ambiance but it didn't feel so to me. I couldn’t stop smiling.It wasn’t the well-measured smile I had grown accustomed to putting on, it was real. Something delightful was bubbling up from deep within me. A first in years.My fingers danced absently over my lips, still tingling from Ethan’s kiss. My whole body hummed with the lingering warmth of him, the weight of his hands, the gentleness of his hold.I had made the choice. And now I sat here, giddy and restless, my heart fluttering like I had swallowed an entire flock of butterflies on a sugar high. Did butterfl

He finally looked me in the eye. “I still do,” he softly admitted, sitting up to straighten his back as he faced me once again.I couldn't help it, staring at his lips. He was suddenly so close for me to consider touching them honestly. The breath I let out was shaky. My insides tingle.What was I to do with this? With him. With the way he wasn’t pushing, wasn’t demanding. Wasn’t taking. I reached to touch his face, gently caressing his cheek. He leaned into my touch and the air crackled between us.For so long, I had been waiting for the other shoe to drop. For him to say the kiss in that study was a mistake or it wasn’t supposed to happen. I would have believed it, after all, he was under some odd influence from my authority.But instead, he was waiting. He was giving me the choice and waiting for me to take it. Meanwhile, I was being so foolish getting caught up in my head with the idea that he didn't want me. Bond or not, Influence or not, Ethan wanted me.I smiled at him, my hear
