The Woman Before Him And The One In His Thoughts

Keegan had a busy day going in and out of the courtroom. When you ruled almost the entire North, a lot of challenges was bound to happen on a daily basis. 

If it didn't have to do with terrestrial dispute, it would be hunting woes. Or internal conflict. Or partners trouble. Or betrayers. It was a never - ending list. 

In addition, he had a very pressing issue which he discussed with his Pack Council. 

Over the months, there have been reports of young wolves being abducted from their homes. It always happened when the wolves were alone and vulnerable. And it was an issue that'd been a burden to Keegan and the Pack. 

However, they finally received some information on the whereabouts of the wolves. It was said that they were being held hostage in a Hamlet far away from the North. 

Keegan and the council members discussed the issue extensively and came to a conclusion that they were going to attack the Hamlet to rescue the wolves. And considering the intensity of the abduction, Keegan decided he was going with them. He wanted to have the blood of the ones in charge in his hands.

Keegan retired to his chambers at dusk and found his favorite lady on his bed, lying like a meal waiting to be devoured. 

Odessa's lips stretched into a bright smile as she slowly left the bed and went over to meet him.

"I have been waiting for so long, Keegan," She cooed, hugging him from behind. She was only allowed to address him by his name when they were alone.

Keegan closed his eyes, ready to inhale her sweet fragrance. Then, he noticed there was something different. Something wrong. And it had nothing to do with Odessa. 

"How was your day today?" Odessa asked, bringing him out of his thoughts. 

He sighed and found his seat, while Odessa stood behind him, massaging his tired shoulders. 

"Stressful as always. But no blood was shed today," he answered. 

In Keegan's world, that was boring. 

Odessa's fingers found a particularly tense knot on his shoulder and smiled when Keegan groaned in delight. 

"I wish I could be there with you, Keegan, to assist you in any way I could," she stated wistfully. 

Unfortunately, she couldn't sit beside the Alpha or contribute to Pack matters unless she was made Luna. Speaking of which, she couldn't comprehend why the Alpha was still delaying the process. They've been together for more than five years. It was disturbing that he was yet to fully claim her. 

Hinting at the topic, she wished the Alpha would say something on it. But he went quiet, his eyes closed as he found comfort in her hands on his shoulders. 

Odessa gulped down the painful feeling and forced a change of topic. 

"I heard you have been invited to Alpha Jenger's grand ball. You shall be in attendance, shall you not?"

Alpha Jenger was one of the Alphas of the South and a good friend of Keegan. His grand ball was one he only held once a year where a lot of dignitaries and other mighty Alphas were to be in attendance. And of course, their ladies were expected to be with them. 

For the past three years since the grand ball commenced, Odessa has been the one accompanying him. 

"Of course," Keegan mumbled. 

"And… your favorite Mistress will be by your side, as always, will she not?" She touched his shoulder more tenderly, but all he did was moan in delight. 

Odessa's throat suddenly felt constricted. She puffed so many times and reminded herself that it was pointless having to ask. Who else would accompany him if not her? 

A moment later, she was in front of him, down on her knees. Keegan opened his eyes to find her hands on his breeches. 

"You seem troubled, My Alpha. Perhaps, I can help." There was a seductive smile on her face. 

Saying nothing, Keegan watched as she lowered his pants and took out the part of him that ached the most.

Odessa blushed crimson at how hard the Alpha was. She thought he had quickly gotten that way due to her touch. But truth was, he's been that way since Sheera left his chambers the previous night.

Even in the courtroom, he couldn't seem to get his mind off her - how pure and flawless she had been when she lowered her dress from her body. 

When his mother had told him she was bringing in the maiden, he'd expected her to look as low as a servant. What he didn't expect was her having 'that' kind of look. 

When he'd set eyes on her for the first time outside the room he'd beheaded Laycoan's spy, he realized he's never seen anyone as pretty as she was. He hated admitting to it, but he'll be damned if it was anything other than the truth.

Initially, he had no intentions of ever touching or acknowledging the 'plaything' his mother had thrusted upon him. But after setting eyes on her, he realized it wouldn't be a bad idea to make use of her while he could. 

Of course, he was never going to keep her forever - that wasn't his intentions. In a short time, he'll be done with her and send her home to her people. 

But while it lasted, he wanted to do the worst things to her. Release his darkness into her and stain her pure soul until there was nothing left. He wanted to make her scream. Wanted to make her weep. Wanted every part of her to be shattered before him. By the time he's done with her and sends her home to her people, he wanted them to get a different Sheera, not the very one they released to him. 

Good was a cave Keegan refused to be confined by. His heart held no desire for redemption.

Odessa took him deep into her mouth, struggling for respiration as he reached the back of her throat. The Alpha was no small man. Hence, no matter how deeply Odessa always took him, she could never reach the end of it.

Keegan threw his head back as he moaned. His eyes closed, images of Sheera filled his head, blurred his vision.

He imagined her being in Odessa's place, sucking him deep and making all the gagging noises Odessa made. He wanted it to be her. Wanted to stare at her pink hardened nipples while she sucked him.

His brows furrowed as he struggled to accept the fact that Odessa was the one in front of him, not Sheera. He never thought focusing could be so tasky.

Why did he crave more of her? To fill her? To hurt her? 

Odessa noticed the distraction in his face and was bothered. The Alpha had never been distracted while she touched him, not even when he had major challenges.

She tried to focus, trying as much as she could to do it better. 

She stood up a while later, wanting to undress. But to her outmost surprise, Keegan pulled back, slipping his member back into place.  

"There are pressing things I need to do, Odessa. I shall summon you when there is need."

He stood up and went into the bathroom, not sparing her another glance. 

Odessa's mouth hung open, wondering if she was in a dream or the Alpha had really walked out on her when she was on the verge of undressing.
