ALEXANDER

'MATE!" Loki and I reveled at the sight of our beautiful mate. I couldn't take my eyes off her. The

girl's utterly drop-dead gorgeous. She had long dark brown hair that cascaded down her back way

past her tiny waist. Fair, smooth looking skin. VERY large breasts and fucking thick thighs I want to

lick and caress while we make fucking love. But it was her eyes that held my most attention. They

were blood-red, and she was looking at me with those deep gorgeous eyes with a hint of fear and

confusion and shock.

Alpha Victor pushed her towards me, making my wolf growl internally.

"He should watch hoe he handles her’ Loki said in a threatening manner.

When he introduced her to me I knew my eyes were glued to her face. I licked the corner of my lips

as she bit her own.

I wonder what those plump little lips of hers taste like? Excitement coursed through me as I pictured

her on my bed. Legs spread wide to welcome my entrance.

I pushed those thoughts to the side when I realized the direction where they were heading to. I

didn't just want to fuck her and get on with it right away. I have always sworn to myself that if I ever

meet my mate in this life, I will love her, cherish her, and protect her with all my life. No matter what

it takes, even if it cost me my life. That's every alpha's weakness. Before all this I always had a

conviction. Never admit my weaknesses. But seeing her walk through that door with grace and

poise just like royalty and feeling the strong connection pulling me to stand on my knees and

worship the very ground she walked on had changed my mind completely. It turns out, she might

just be my only weakness.

I stared down at my little mate's pretty face. I squinted, thinking about how the color of her eyes

was indeed a rare sight. But because the dress she was currently wearing was backless, missing

sleeves, and with a long slit running up her thighs, I couldn't help but growl knowing there were

other werewolves who've been fantasizing with her gorgeous and sexy body back in that pack of

hers. They were unorganized and always seemed to have had internal conflicts of their own,

women-wise.

Why the hell does she have to come in here looking like a snack? I look around threateningly,

making each and every of them males shudder as I shot them all a death glare, to which they

responded to by averting their nasty eyed from our little mate.

Looking back at our mate, she looked as if she was lost in thoughts of her own. Damn. Why does

she look so fucking cute and hot at the same fucking time?

Her father suddenly interrupted my daydreaming when his voice forced its way into my eardrums,

trespassing me.

It was inevitable for my eyes to widen the instant he finished his big announcement. They wanted to

offer Eleanor to me as my mate. Hell, before I even gathered my bearings, Elijah had ruined it all for

me and gave them the wrong idea I still have not met my mate when she was standing right there

meters away from me! I was trying to tell him my mate was Eleanor when he had raised his eyebrow

at me and mouthed “what-the-fuck-are-you-saying-asshole?’ The moment he glanced over her

shoulder to look at me, I wanted to kick Elijah’s stupid ass and leave him falling face first to the floor

with his hand on his sorry butt. Now I need to convince them Eleanor is my mate, especially her.

And that is something I don't usually do every day. I had never felt the need to explain myself to

anyone, except in this situation.

“Way to go Elijah’ I mind linked him, rolling my eyes. He giggled secretly to himself, making me want

to punch him in the gut, but that would be reserved for later. Even at a serious time like this, Elijah

was still very eager to play his games. That's my beta for you. Sometimes I wonder if he was ever

diagnosed with a bipolar disorder because of how childish he was most of the time and then

suddenly serious in some rare occasions or when he's extremely mad.

Suddenly my ears perked up after letting his father lead the conversation next. My lips instantly

curved forming a natural smile. He wanted me to take Eleanor as my mate! Which she already is. I

tried to contain my laughter inside. This turned out to be easier than I thought. When I dragged my

eyes to look at the reaction on Eleanor’s face, my smile instantly disappeared in disappointment.

Apparently, the visible frown and lines on her forehead were telling me she was...unhappy. Unwilling

to take me as her mate.

She looked at me while shaking her head in absolute defiance. But why? Has the title of Luna not

awakened her desire?

The most uncomfortable feeling rose in my chest. I've been with plenty of girls in my pack who was

more than willing to throw their arms around me and lock me in between their thighs. I can go as

far as to say all of them are even willing to kill each other just to take the spot of becoming my

mate. But her? That look of disdain and unwillingness in her eyes told me I can go fuck myself off.

I don't understand though. There's nothing wrong with me. There's nothing wrong with h—

Wait a second. I remember they said she had no wolf! Is that what this is all about? That she’s

wolfless? Is that why she doesn't want to mate with me despite my irresistible charms? It had to be.

There couldn't be anything else, is there?

It was as if my whole mood changed when I realized the reason why she was acting so...ashamed. I

asked to have a moment with her alone and the second we were, I had reassured her of her safety

in my pack. No one will dare lay a hand on my mate. Being the protective jackass I undeniably am, I

will surely do everything to keep my mate safe and make her feel protected. Back then, I wasn't able

to protect my own parents because I was weak. Now that I found my fated mate, I won't dare make

the same mistake ever again.

AFTER THE PEACE TALK...

I glanced at Eleanor who was sitting beside me at the back of my car. Elijah was driving us back to

my pack. My eyes wandered to stare at Eleanor’s face yet again, seemingly unable to get enough of

her pretty eyes that I just realized were like sparkling rubies.

She was looking outside the window and oddly seemed to have found great interest in her

fingernails. A sweat trickled down the side of her face, making me furrow my brows.

"Are you okay?” I reached my hand out to touch the skin on her back. It was then that I felt sparks of

electricity travel down my spine like lightning, making me jolt back in my seat. Eleanor looked at me

funny and confused.

“I should be the one asking that question, Alpha.” Damn. Even her flawlessly seductive voice was

enough to fucking turn me on. Suddenly I was shocked at how one woman I just met can drive me

wild and insane in one swift innocent act.

I cleared my throat and pulled on my tight shirt. My body was oddly feeling hot for absolutely no

reason.

“It's because of our mate.’ Loki interrupts my thoughts and pushed his eyes against my sockets to

get a closer look at our goddess mate. I forced him back inside as I took my place back in my own

body.

“Enough, Loki. Don't do that again.’ I warn him. This was the first time my wolf misbehaved like this.

Usually he showed no interest in the women whom I took to bed for a short time of pleasure. I

shivered. All those times spending one night stands with each of them made my skin crawl, and I

was suddenly feeling the regret consume me deep inside.

They were right. I should have waited for my mate. I should have stayed low. It was twisting me up I

couldn't even look at Eleanor straight in the eye.

“Alex.” I managed to utter.

"What?" I can feel her gaze on my face burning my skin intensely.

“Call me Alex, from now on.” Inhaling a breath, I turned my head to gaze at her beautiful face. She

seemed amused as her eyebrow had almost disappeared into her hairline.

"Okay" She said and we sat in silence throughout the whole drive back to my pack.
