All Is Fair In Love And War

"You know you don't want her, alpha. You are taking her from everyone else because you know you can. Because you know she is only a lowly omega who will go with you wherever you ask her to go." Simon pulled me closer to him, and Alpha Austin nodded.

He slowly let go of my hand, a small smile on his face. "How about I show you just how true that is?" He stepped away from me, the same smile still on his face.

"I won't let her go with you."

Alpha Austin laughed, then looked at me. "I will wait for you at home." He said simply and turned away.

When he had said I was the one he wanted, I had dared to let my crazy heart flutter. There was no mate bond between us, so what would I count on to bring him back to me? Nothing at all.

Knowinh that, I slowly released myself from simon's grip. I had nothing to bank on, and now, with just one taste, his lips on my neck, his hands on my waist, I am like some stupid she wolf on drugs.

"You want to prove him right? You want to leave and run to him like some lost puppy so he knows he has complete control over you?"

But he does. He controls the part of me that controls everything else.

I suck in a deep breath. "Excuse me, Simon. Please."

He didn't try to stop me anymore as I walked away, my fists clenched. The alpha's home was on the far end of the pack, on completely opposite sides with the pack house. I stopped just as I got to the front, my heart pounding like crazy.

I was being a fool, I know. I wanted him too much and I know he knows that too. He doesn't think I am worth foghting for, so why am I here? Because I want to fight for him? What if it gets too hard?

Despite my wolf cowering like crazy inside me, I turn away from the house. I shouldn't go. I am an omega. I am also not his mate. The omega and alpha love doesn't happen here. I am being delusional.

"Were you thinking of leaving?" Austin was in front of me, his hair falling on his sides as he watched me through his lashes.

"I am not your mate. What would I be doing here?" I asked him, but inside I hoped he would tell me not to go. Because just like he said to Simon, I was the one he wanted.

He walked to me slowly. "In the eyes of the world...and mine, you have nowhere else to go but here." He said it like an order.

I bit down on my lip summoning courage. I was already getting greedy. I never even got to stand in the same place as him back then. And now, I was behaving like a fool because circumstances had favoured me and brought me right to his knees. Because those circumstances knew that was exactly where I wanted to be.

"I will stay at the pack house tonight." I said and started to walk away.

Before I knew it, his hand held my arm and drew me back to him. I opened my mouth to say something, before his lips came crashing down on mine, stealing the breath out of me.

His hand weave onto my waist and bring me up, so my legs wrapped around his waist. Once I was stable, his hand laced into my hair as he slowly parted my lips.

This was the taste I have imagined for so long. I didn't realize when my eyes closed, and my hands fell on his chest, then his hair, then the back of his neck.

There was so much of him to explore, so much of him that I wanted to love, so much of him that I couldn't wait to run my hands on...

I didn't realize when we entered the house, I just heard the click of the door as he closed it, and my back hit the wall.

He never left my lips as we went upstairs towards his room, most probably. My back suddenly hit the bed as he lay me on it, then let his arms hold him up as he hovered above me.

His deep red eyes were even darker, and it got a shade darker with every uneven breath I let out.

"Austin..." I said, but it sounded like a moan. A gasp. The name I had woken up with on my lips every night since the thanksgiving.

His hands slowly went through my hair, and his dark smike widened every second. My heart was beating like crazy inside me as he slowly lowered himself, till I could feel it on my face is his lashes moved.

"How would I have known such an unconventional entanglement would result from that look you gave me at the thanksgiving?" He said, and chuckled.

"What do you mean?"

He didn't bother answering it, as he claimed my lips again. I shamelessly let him, his hands cupping my waist and slowly massaging. It wasn't my place, but with every kiss, with each stroke of his fingers in my hair, I became greedy.

All, they say is fair in love and war, isn't it?

This was both love and war. I hadn't asked for this..but now that it was here specifically, him, on top of me, kissing me like he knew how I wanted to be kissed...how would I dare to not want more? What kind of stupid she wolf would I be to not crave more?

My hands wrapped around his body too, my hand slowly riding up his simple grey shirt.

He suddenly stopped and smiled at me, then removed my hair from my face.

"Is...something wrong?" I said, doubting if I would be able to hear him from the loud beating of my heart in my ears.

He laughed and sat up, his shirt offering me an irresistible view of his back. It was almost hard to believe that I had actually had my hand there just a minute ago.

He turned to me, one of his brows raised. "How could you love me when even I can't love myself?"

He seemed solemn. Cold. And the next thing I did, I don't know who to blame on.

I got off and came in front of him, and ever so slowly, sat on his lap, and wrapped my hand around his neck. He looked at me like he wasn't surprised.

Like he had countless woman do this to him before. But I was determined to be different. I was determined to be the one in the end. Selfish, I know. But the concert of love is selfish.

"I am sorry, Austin." I said, watching his eyes. He only slowly blinked as he waited for me to say more. "I am sorry, but...Catherine can't have you anymore."
