Beauty and the Beast: Alpha Edition

Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO

Jax O'Connor's POV:

As soon as we could, I traveled to the next pack house, furthest from where I wanted to be, my bed. I was giving myself the one-year mate hunt party thing to see if this woman that was made for me would be anywhere. So far, nothing out of the three hundred packs I've been to. I am losing hope and so is my beast. I can feel him scratching around in my mind begging to be let out to find his mate for life. Me too buddy, me too. I'm not even sure she will want me anyways, because of the shit that I have done.

We arrive and already I can feel a sense of calm flow through my body, a calm I haven't felt in my soul since my mother passed away two years ago. It made my whole body both relax and tense up with the familiar feeling, not knowing why I was feeling this way. I ran my tattooed hands through my long hair, remembering how my mom was the only one I let cut my hair growing up, and I hadn't cut it since she died so it's unmanageable at this point. The dark hairs go all over the place and curl to a ball most days, which is why I sport a man bun usually. Though, I forgot a hair-tie this time around which makes my chest rumble with annoyance at my forgetfulness.

We made our way to the door in unison, like always, the men of the pack are there sensing the dominant aura of me and my people. I greet them and some of the men tremble at my size while others don't even look at me. The alpha though, he spoke with confidence, which I like. "Alpha Jax, how may we be of service to you today?" with a small smile, I nodded towards his men in acknowledgement of them before speaking to their alpha male. "I'm here to have a mate hunt party, if you would allow me that pleasure of staying for one night that is."

"Of course, Jax, you're always welcome at my table and in my pack home." Before anyone else could speak, the presence of a woman caught our attention. We all went silent to see what was going on, and she walked up to the Alpha and spoke. "Dad, grandma made your favorite pie, she told me to bring you some." And then licked her fucking finger that had whipped cream on it from holding the plate, and I swear to god I had never had a boner for a woman so bad. I adjusted my pants discreetly, wanting to ravish this short woman with lips so red that they looked like cherries. Of course, her lips being red was lipstick but by god could this woman bring my mountain of a body to its knees at her beck and call with those lips.

I stared at her until she turned pink from staring at me back, and then I licked my lips and she looked away as her father started introducing me to her. "Sweetheart, this is Alpha Jax O'Connor, I'm sure you've heard of him before, he came here to see if we could throw a small party for his mate-find year." Her dad looked at her and she slightly nodded to him as a reply and then spoke words that sounded like the best orgasm you could ever have. "I'll go get some of the others and we will prepare rooms for them." She smiled at him before looking me in the eyes once more and handing the pie over to her father and leaving the room quickly.

They fed us with the leftover food, and we were told that the rooms were the ones upstairs, so I headed that way after thanking everyone who cooked food and wishing them a good night. Immediately, I noticed her putting the pillowcases on the fluffy looking pillows, I noted that her body tensed when it noticed me there with her, her breathing increased slightly, and her nipples erected. NIPPLES. She's not wearing a bra, fuck me. Actually, I'd really like her to ride my face until she can't speak anymore but I'm sure she won't want to.

Without speaking, she cleared her throat and she motioned for me to help her with the sheets. She bent over to grab the one side that had slipped off, fuck is her body the hottest thing that I had ever seen. I'm going to be dreaming of that ass for months now. Fucking her in every position possible is a wet dream in itself. My hair kept falling in my face, so I eventually growled in frustration at not having a hair-tie to hold it up, she tensed and froze for a second biting her lip with lust at my dominance. Shit I think she can see my dick through my pants, her face flushed to the max, running all the way up to her ears and down her neck. That's right, you want to fuck me just as bad as I want to fuck you.

We silently finish making the bed I will be laying in tonight and she goes to leave without a word to me, her mate. No, I won't let her. I was right on her ass pushing that door closed and enclosing her body inside of my arms. I could feel her eyes on me the entire time we were making that bed, she knows we're mates, I know she feels the pull too. I started sniffing her out of instinct, trying to find that delicious smell that mates put off for one another. I move my hands from the crown of her head all the way down to the hair on her neck, moving the barrier away from that sweet scent. She whimpers with the action, smelling of the need to breed with my wolf. Her whole-body shudders as I run my nose along her neck where that sweet scent was pooled, smelling along it trying to ingrain that in my mind.

I breathed for a few seconds longer and then sighed silently, realizing the only reason she wants me is because I am her mate, nothing more than biological need for one another. Though, my heart felt a pang of hurt that she doesn't want me in the way that I want her. She will have my babies in that belly before too long, and my heart in her hand. Unless she rejects my mating, then I will die without my queen by my side and the empire I built will crumble and die with me. I am nothing without my mate and my soul and body know this. I don't need the mate hunt party anymore. I have found her. My Mia Walsh.
