James
"Want to hit the club later? You look like you need it." Lewis said as he perched on the armrest of the coffee couch in my office.
I sighed in frustration as I pinched the bridge of my nose. A certain rival gaming company had risen from no where and released a killer ass game that was toping the charts with it's ratings. This caused the stock price of my game company to drop as the ratings of my game, wolfman, decreased drastically.
This issue had been stressing me a lot lately; I didn't make money from making games, it was just a hobby of mine but they were like my babies and I couldn't sit back and watch as my babies got bullied.
I tried to search for the creator of the new game but I got nothing. The game was called wolf girl. A strong girl that kicked the ass of villains and it had become popular among the females. It was a major hit and to be honest, I was impressed by the creator, whoever they were, my skills paled in comparison. Which was kind of hard to admit, that's why I sat in my office the whole day trying to find ways to improve the features of my game.
"Hello? Club? Later?" Lewis said making hand gestures with his thumb pointing towards the door, interrupting my thoughts. "You know what you need?" He asked as I looked up at him and shook my head in refusal. "A good fuck." He said shamelessly with a smirk on his face and I furrowed my brow, considering my options.
"I don't know man; I don't think I'm up for drinking tonight. Take a rain-check?" I asked with an arched brow as I stood up to leave.
"Come on man, it will help you take the stress off. Tricia made me promise to take you with me tonight." So that was the reason he wanted me to go clubbing with him. Tricia was Lewis's sister and she claimed to be in love with me. To be more accurate, she was obsessed with me. Too bad I loathed women, they had just become objects for pleasure to me and that was not something I could do to my best friend's sister.
"No man, you know very well your sister would end up hurt. I would advise you tell her to give up," I said firmly and he just shrugged, giving up on trying to convince me, good.
....
I had just entered my bedroom when a strong female scent wafted through my nostrils and I wrinkled my nose in disgust. The scent was coupled with a pungent perfume and it just took me off completely.
Now who would dare to enter my bedroom? Turning on the lights, I frowned when I came face to face with Anna, the pack whore. Clad in tiny pink lingerie, her perfect body looked sexy and appealing.
"Hi Alpha, I was hoping we could have a little chat," she said seductively and I scoffed. Anna was a desperate she-wolf who kept throwing herself at me, she didn't seem bothered that I was rude to her and I wouldn't say no to a dish handed over to me on a silver platter.
She walked over and tried to run her hands over my chiseled chest, but I caught her hands mid-air. I had one rule, no touching or kissing and I wasn't going to break it today. Turning her around, I pinned her against the cream white wall roughly and she yelped in surprise.
Opening up the drawer of the vanity table opposite the bed, I took out a condom and wrapped it around my big hard shaft and Anna twisted her head around giving me a questioning look with her eyebrows raised.
"Turn the fuck around," I spat. In no way would I fuck her raw. Which unmated male wolf in this pack hasn't had a taste of her?
I don't know if wolves could get STDS... Rabies maybe? Whatever... But I wasn't going to take any chances.
Tearing off her tiny panties, I thrust into her already wet cunt and started thrusting brutally and fast.
She moaned loudly, arching her back, meeting my thrusts, with both her palms on the wall for support. I thrust harder hoping I could feel something but no tingles of pleasure ripped through me. It was just plain dry sex which bored me to death.
Lewis was right, what I needed was a good fuck. But this clearly wasn't cutting it.
Her loud moans were starting to irritate the shit out of me. Someone was clearly enjoying herself. I didn't even try hard but she came on her own, trembling as she moaned like the slut she was. Closing my eyes to imagine a different hot figure that was only a figment of my imagination, I pulled out after a few hard thrusts, releasing my load in the rubber.
"Why did you pull out when you got a condom on?" Anna asked in her annoying voice.
"We aren't close enough for that kind of bonding," I uttered coldly. Couples bonded emotionally at the end of their release.. I wasn't going to risk having the pack whore catch feelings for me. We both knew she was only after the Luna title. She dreamed big for someone so incapable. A strong Luna doesn't get into her position by spreading her legs.
I went into the vintage styled bathroom and soaked myself in a white tub that I filled with hot water. The warm water helped relax my muscles and I just sat there thinking of ways to beat my rival and top the charts in the gaming world again.
Getting out of the tub, I stood by the marble counter and looked at my reflection in the mirror. Beads of water droplets could me spotted on my chest. I definitely was a good looking man. Even though I had fought many battles, I made sure not to have any scars on my body or handsome face. Otherwise, how would I be labeled as the most handsome Alpha in the world?
'And ruthless, cold-hearted and cruel .. you forgot to add those,' my wolf Tyler chipped in and I scoffed. He didn't like how people portrayed my image because it cost him a mate but I loved it. I don't need people anyway, it was better to be heartless than a sentimental bastard.
I got out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my waist and I furrowed my eyebrows as a perky ass came into view. Anna lay comfortably on my bed naked with her back facing me.
A surge of anger rushed through me... What gave her the courage to lay on my bed?
"Get the fuck out of my bed!" I growled murderously using my Alpha tone. She whimpered meekly and scurried off in her nakedness.
I wrinkled my nose as I stared at my bed in disgust. Fuck. 'Lisa get someone to change my bed and sheets now,' I roared to the head omega through the mind-link.
In no way would I use that bed again. Her scent was all over it. The room too, stunk of her. This was the reason I never brought girls to my room. I usually slept with them at the pack house, which was a communal house for wolves who didn't have family's. Anna sure had guts to show up in my room and try her luck.
I made a mental note to sternly warn her not to come to my room again.
....
"Please son, you have not attended a mating ball in five years how would you find a mate? At this rate, I won't get any grand pups to play with, I'm getting bored with old age," my father said and I rolled my eyes. Here we go again. Old? He looked like a man in his early 30's when he was actually 56.
"I already told you I don't want to be with anyone dad. I'm perfectly fine like this," I said as I got up from the sofa to pour myself a glass of whiskey. My father had come to see me after an hour of my escapade and we were sitting behind the dual fireplace in the sitting area of my bedroom.
"No, that's not true, you mask your emotions with arrogance, you think I would fail to read my own son?" He questioned. "Come with me, I'm leaving for the white mist pack tomorrow. Heck, I'm old but I am still looking for a second chance mate. Just come with me to make your old man feel at ease," he pleaded and I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose. I really couldn't refuse him when he pleaded like this.. he had lost his will to live when my mother was killed in a rogue attack. But after a few years, he distracted himself by raising me alone. I honestly don't mind that he's looking for a mate. My mother would have wanted him to be happy.
"Fine.. but only this once. Then that's it. I really don't want a mate," I agreed and he visibly smiled in relief.
"Oh! I almost forgot, a friend of mine made a request to let his daughter live here for a while. There's a threat on her life so he asked for your protection," my father said suddenly.
"Please tell me you said no.... "
"I agreed, he's my friend and it's something you could do, why would I say no?" He said looking at me innocently and I sighed. "We shall come back with her after the ball if she doesn't find her mate," he added and I grumbled.
Women, women, women.... Everything was about women. The world revolved around them too.......
Now I, the strongest Alpha in the world was reduced to playing bodyguard for a weak she-wolf. 'Pathetic,' I scoffed inwardly.
But I didn't want to disappoint my father, seeing the expectant look on his face. He really was my weakness.
"Fine... But only if she can be useful to the pack," I compromised and he smiled. I just invited problems by accepting to bring a she-wolf into the pack.
More women meant more problems.....
Zoe I did a hair toss before doing a shoulder move then I rolled my hips in a circular motion, then went lower towards the floor with my hip roll, got up slowly whining my waist sexily as I grooved to the music. The guy behind me put his hands on my hips following my movements grinding as I rubbed my ass on his crotch not missing the hard rock thing that was now poking my butt. I looked up slightly and smirked tauntingly when I saw the seething Alpha..... ..... Tiffany and I had arrived a bit late for the mating ball. She kept changing her outfits because they didn't appeal to her. I ended up making the decision for her to avoid spending another extra hour getting ready. Now fully dressed in a royal blue off shoulder gown with a high split, she looked beautiful. It was not hard for me to pick what to wear; I wore a red two piece suit consisting of a lace crop top and a long high split skirt for easy movements, adding black sandal high heels an
James I was impressed; Alpha Jackson had done a good job with developing his pack. There was a huge black steel gate at the entrance with a facial recognition system. Visitors had to get a pass to be allowed entry. After showing the guard the mating ball invitation, he used his key card to open the gate for us. Lewis was driving, while I sat in the passenger seat and my father in the back seat. Lewis came along not to find his mate.. but to meet 'fresh blood' as he called it. My friend was a big time player; I wasn't a saint either though I wasn't overly friendly with women like him. I turned my attention to look at the area. We passed by a few modern houses, hospital, a big mansion which I presumed was the Alpha's; some restaurants, it even had a mini shopping mall. No one would think a place like this existed in the woods beyond the mountains. I loved my pack but this one had a feminine touch to it and it was beautifu
Zoe "Don't worry Alpha Jackson, I will TAKE care of her," James assured my father, the word ''take" coming out stronger than normal. I narrowed my eyes at him in annoyance, wondering what he was upto acting like he's nice and kind. It irked me that my father had taken a liking to him the moment he stepped foot into his office last night. He kept talking about how his friend's son was all grown and powerful after the introductions were done and I was left alone with him so that he could caution me on his usaul "don't let your wolf out" talk. It looked like he was dropping certain hints because he kept saying James was handsome and he would make a good mate. I scoffed inwardly in disagreement; Mr grumpy-pants was nothing close to a good mate. He was so grumpy all the time; a certain movie was definitely missing a smurf. 'Oh yeah? and you're all smiley right? By the way... you two are like two peas in a pod.' Chloe countered in
Zoe I quickly composed myself and looked up at Lewis, giving him a questioning look with a raised brow. Sighing in relief when he finally averted his eyes. His gaze made me uncomfortable; it felt like he was trying to see through me.... and I hated that. "Jericho take Zoe to one of the bedrooms and ask some omegas to take out her luggage from the car," James's cold voice broke me out of my trance and I looked at the man he had given instructions to. The black mist pack, I noticed had a lot of good looking men. Jericho had a great body build and a buzz cut that gave him a mature sexy look. He was clad in a white vest and black sweatpants. The vest hugged his chest showing his abs and the exposed biceps made him look strong and manly. The tribal tattoos on both his forearms made him look more masculine and aggressive. I kept gawking at him while naughty thoughts filled my head. This was a dream come true... I sighed as I imagined
James I felt hopeless; I fucking lost again. Zoe...what kind of she-wolf was she? No matter how much I tried to inflict pain on her, she remained unfazed. Her indifferent attitude led to me making a dick move. I used Tricia whom I normally never interacted with to provoke a reaction from her but she was still unaffected. I wanted so much to see her face contorted in pain, couldn't wait to see how long she would keep up the strong façade. But instead, I ended up shooting myself in the foot. The one at the receiving end of pain was me. I instructed Jericho to show her to her room but she stood frozen as she gawked at him. It was like she was hypnotized by his eyes. I glared at Jericho as he shifted nervously, a small blush on his face. The fucker was feeling shy? She's my mate! 'Well, he doesn't know that... besides, our mate is a beauty with a strong personality I'm sure a lot of unmated wolves would be after her,' Tyler chimed.
Zoe Strangely I had slept peacefully; no strange dreams or nightmares. I had even forgotten about the fact that I hadn’t eaten dinner and slept in. It was only till mid morning that I finally woke up. Squinting my eyes open, I lay on the bed for the sleepiness to fade away then got up, yawning and stretching. I picked up my phone from the bed to check for messages but was startled by the time on it. How come no one woke me up? I was used to being woken up back at home so I didn’t see the need to set an alarm. Sniffing my armpits, I wrinkled my nose. I needed a bath, ‘and a shave,' Chloe chimed. ‘Girl I just shaved 2 days ago,' I countered. ‘Yeah but even humans shave frequently, you’re a werewolf so you’re bound to be more hairy,' she remarked and I groaned, I hated doing that, it felt as gross as being on your period. That shit sucks. ‘Well, you got to be clean down there incase Mr Alpha wants to eat you out. We wouldn’t want him to f
James “Alpha, what does the message say?” Lewis asked after I had calmed down from my fit of rage. “It was a warning, strengthen up security at the pack borders and monitor those entering and leaving the pack,” I instructed in a low voice. Trying hard to mask my emotions. I couldn’t say what the message said as it involved Zoe and until I found out how the rogues knew she was in my pack, I would be trusting no one. My anger flared up again when I remembered what was written in the letter. HAND HER OVER AND EVERYONE ELSE REMAINS SAFE. YOU WOULDN’T WANT YOUR FATHER TO DIE LIKE YOUR MOTHER WOULD YOU? RK. The rogue king was after Zoe but why? Was he in love with her? The very thought sent Tyler over the edge and he growled, ‘Mine! We have to protect our mate.’ I agreed with him on this one.. I didn’t want her and I hated her for no reason but I wouldn’t let anything happen to her. Neither would I allow her to be claimed by
Zoe The day had passed by in a blur. I spent most of my time on my laptop and only went downstairs when Lisa announced that dinner was ready. Not wanting to sleep on an empty stomach again, I rushed down but still sat by the dining table alone. Lisa said James had eaten already but I felt like he was avoiding me. Which didn’t make sense, given how he didn’t have a problem grazing his teeth on my marking spot earlier. I sighed as I now lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling while sleep evaded me. Replaying the scene when James trapped me in his arms, heat rushed through to my core. Making my panties wet. I frowned…those were freshly clean and now I had to change again. But that was the least of my concern right now. I could still feel his warm breath on my neck when it brushed on my skin. The epic tingling sensations sent ripples of lightening bolts through me and if I didn’t get up, I would have begged him to fuck me right there and th
Hi lovely readers. For those that have read this book till the end, thank you so much. I appreciate your support. For those still reading it, I would like to notify you that I'll be merging this book with book one, The Alpha's Rejection. You can still continue reading the book by checking the chapter title you left it at. And if you do happen to read the Alpha's Rejection when you've already read this one, do not read past chapter 50 because that would be the beginning of the Beta's Turmoil. Thank you so much for reading my work. I hope I keep bringing out content that would be worth your time. With love, Natie.
THREE YEARS LATER Lewis It was funny how time flies. One minute you’re a child and the next, you’re an adult who’s responsible for yourself and other people. In my case, I was a mate, a beta and a brother and a soon-to-be father. That’s right, Ariana and I had our wedding 4 months ago and now she was carrying our pup. A boy. She was the most beautiful bride I had ever seen and on that day, when she said I do, it was one of the best days of my life that I’ll cherish forever. The last three years have been nothing but blissful. Life was great. We would have problems here and there but nothing that was not solvable. After all, this is real life and not everything can be perfect. Alpha James and Zoe left on a honeymoon tour a month ago and left their pups in our care. They were living with us at our mini-mansion that I built for Ariana and I and boy, they were a handful. We had a nanny for all four of them. Matteo, Alpha James’ baby brother thought he was his brother’s son
Ariana I’ve been living in the blackmist pack for three months now and I can attest that it’s much better than the human town. I liked it here. At first, when I learnt that werewolves exist I thought they would be primitive and living like cavemen but they surprised me by being more modern than ordinary humans. The pack was designed like a small town. It had shopping malls, residential homes and a large packhouse where the majority of the wolves stayed. Mostly unmated ones stayed there. Despite the modern setup, the flora and fauna were not tampered with. We were still surrounded by a big forest. On full moon nights, we would go for pack runs which were led by the Alpha and Luna. And then most times, I would go on a love run with Lewis, my mate who had been nothing but lovely ever since I settled here. The only thing I missed from the human town was my aunt Judy. “Can you get me another dress? Where’s the red one I chose earlier? I look good in red.” Zoe asked one of the o
Lewis I ditched the car and ran to the orphanage since it would be faster that way. The Alpha had already begun running back to the pack after I called him to tell him his Luna had gone into labor. Taking off my clothes, I shifted and carried them in my mouth then I began to run as fast as I could. From the way Ariana kept poking into my mind every second, I knew she was freaking out. ‘Dr. Anthony prepare the Luna’s VIP ward she’s in labor.’ I mind-linked the doctor at the pack’s hospital. ‘What? That’s too soon. I’ll work on it right away.’ I continued to rush forward with Wesley in the lead. Being a beta wolf, he wanted to protect his Alpha’s pups. ‘Lewis! Hurry! I can see a head… oh my God! I don’t know what to do!’ Ariana’s shriek echoed in my head. ‘Calm down baby… You will scare Zoe. Take a few deep breaths and guide her… tell her to push as hard as she can. If the baby stays like that it will suffocate.’ ‘But I’ve never done this before.’ She responded, sounding sc
Lewis I felt like I was in paradise. At the break of dawn, I opened my eyes and found Ariana sleeping peacefully in my arms with a smile on her face. We were happy. And I hoped it remained so for the rest of our lives. I stroked her curly hair and leaned down, placing a kiss on her forehead. Ariana stirred, scrunching her eyebrows then inched closer to me, burying her face deeper into my chest. Having her back made me whole once again. I wouldn’t have survived without her and to think she had watched me die and had to experience the agony of the bond breaking filled me with intense guilt. That was not something I wanted her to go through. Ever. She had even gone as far as stabbing her heart to perform a dangerous spell to save me. That was the extent of her love for me. I could see it. I could feel it. A love so pure and true. What more can I ask for? I loved her just as much as she loved me and with each passing day that we are together, our bond grows stronger. All
Ariana I stared into Lewis’ eyes to check if he was telling the truth. Not that I didn’t believe him. It’s just that with our current situation, even I could come up with any reason that could help us be able to be together. He had just told me about how my mother and his father were childhood friends and that day, he was actually going to save her due to her call for help but unfortunately, he arrived late. “I have proof, baby… I can’t lie to you. You know that.” Lewis said with a pained expression. I cupped his face with my palms and pecked his lips. “I believe you. Even if you made something up I would always believe you.” I said and I meant it. “But I didn’t make it up my love. My father has recordings that you can listen to. I have them on my phone.” He said and took out his phone before I could stop him. We were seated on a two-seater couch in the small sitting room in the cabin after two more rounds of banging each other. I listened to the recording and when I heard
Lewis “Alpha, I’m leaving. I’ll only come back when I find my mate.” Alpha James raised his brow. “Are you sure? You’re going on a wild goose chase man. She could be anywhere.” Anger surged within me and I growled. “Are you saying I should give up on my mate? No way man… she’s mine and I’ll find her.” “How? By running around aimlessly like a headless chicken? Do you even have a clue where she is? If she doesn’t want to be found, do you think you can find her that easily?” I curled my hand, clenching it into a fist. He was right. I couldn’t just go searching without having a clue about Ariana’s whereabouts but what other choice do I have? Wait for her to calm down and come back on her own? What if she never comes back? What then? Being without her would kill me and my wolf. “I have to find her.” I said in a low voice, sounding defeated. “Come on man. We are wolves. We work smart, not harder. What’s the fastest way of finding someone in our supernatural world without using
Ariana I steeled my heart and chanted the teleporting spell while avoiding making eye contact with Lewis. I just couldn’t bring myself to look into his eyes. If I did, I was afraid I would decide to stay with him. But that was out of the question. Not after what I had found out. I had to leave for my parent's sake. I wouldn’t be able to face them knowing I had stayed with the people who took their life. Lewis just stood there, staring at me. And from my peripheral vision, I could see he was crying. My chest constricted seeing him like that. It hurt more that I had to leave him this way. I was punishing him for his father’s mistakes. It didn’t take long for the spell to take effect. As I was slowly getting sucked in, I snuck a look at Lewis. I wanted to see his enchanting face for one last time. I wanted to have it embedded in my mind forever. But the look of despair on his face crushed my heart. Now I would be stuck with his sad expression for the rest of my life. I shouldn’
Lewis I don’t know how long I had been staring at the spot where Ariana had vanished. My heart just couldn’t accept the fact that she was gone. She had left and this time I’m afraid, it’s forever. With the bad blood between us, there’s no way we could be together. For most of my life, I had never regretted any choices I made. Bad or good. Because I believed if you’re hesitant about something, you would still end up regretting whatever decision you make in the end. You would always ask yourself. What if? Could things have been different? I never wanted this type of uncertainty in my life so I was always decisive. But now, looking back, I deeply regretted bringing my mate to the pack. Perhaps I should have stayed with Ariana in the human town. I would be a CEO and she would do the work she loved. We would go back home together after a busy day at work, cook together, make love and do the same the next day just like normal people do. Most times people take advantage of thi
