I'm the Alpha's Mate

Chapter 14

Ryujin's hand traveled up my bare thigh, still awaiting my answer.

She must have figured out that I was going to stay silent because she spoke. "Do you think a Luna is just a sexual object to an Alpha?" I had a light blush flushed on my cheeks.

Her hand moved from my leg to the back of my neck, forcing me to look up at her. She stares down deep into my eyes. I can't take this, my nerves are going crazy.

"Do you think that I'll use you to have my pups?" Her expression is filled with seduction.

I let out a small whimper as her fingers lightly ran down my spine and to the small of my back. Ryujin's eyes roam over my body, scanning my every curve. She takes a deep breath. "Good thing I can control myself." She breathes out calmly." Or else you would be screaming my name till morning." She leans down and chants in my ear, causing me to blush even more.

"Now get in the bed." Slowly I left her side and walked over to the massive bed. I lifted up the heavy expensive duvet and slipped into the silky red sheets.

She looked at me in approval and then walked over to the other side of the bed. But instead of just getting in the bed she pulled off his shirt, revealing her toned muscles. I couldn't help but stare.

Why would a woman like Ryujin desire a girl like me? She's so intimidating, ruthless, handsome, demanding, seductive, the opposite of me. I'm just some girl that was kept in an attic and hidden away from real life, but she is a strong powerful Alpha. So why? Is it just because I'm her mate? Is it just because of some bond?

What if she finds out about my so-called ability and uses me, or what if she thinks I'm a psychopath.

The bed dipped down as Ryujin entered the covers. So I laid down and curled up in the extremely comfortable blankets. But I was gently pulled against Ryujin's chest, feeling her bare skin on mine.

My heart started to beat faster, and I let out a shaky breath. Here I am, sleeping in the same bed with an attractive Alpha. I did not expect this to be across the stream.

"Now sleep." She whispered, and I closed my eyes.

My eyes shot open and immediately stung from the sudden brightness. When my eyes adjusted I scanned the room, it was empty. Where's Ryujin?

I rolled out of the bed and checked the bathroom, but she wasn't there either. While I was in the bathroom I decided to brush my teeth and clean myself up a little.

When I was done I went back into the bedroom and looked for the white robe I had on yesterday. It's not like I enjoy prancing around in barely anything.

But I couldn't find the robe. I remember Ryujin dropped it on the floor, so someone must have picked it up.

Darn.

I scratched the back of my head but dodged the small bandage from my accident. I guess I'll just have to go downstairs like this and hope no one is home.

So I left the room and fled downstairs. I didn't see anyone in the living room, so I just stopped worrying and set off to the kitchen. My stomach was growling like a hungry wolf, I'm so funny.

When I reached the kitchen I walked right on in, but of course, I wouldn't get away with life being that easy. About ten pairs of male eyes shot straight at me.

I shrieked and tried to cover myself, which I wasn't having luck with. So I spun on my heels and was ready to sprint the hell out of there. I only made it about two steps before I ran into a very familiar muscular chest.

Before I could even comprehend what just happened I was pushed behind Ryujin.

She let out a loud protective growl at the men staring at me, and they all looked away faster than the speed of light.

Ryujin turned around and picked me up, like a child. She carried me all the way back up the stairs and into her bedroom, where I started.

She placed me on the bed and then crossed her arms. Is she mad or something?

"Why the hell did you go downstairs dressed like that?" She scolds me and I raised an eyebrow.

"I couldn't find my robe," I answer her briefly. Why on earth is she mad at me? It's not my fault that I got handed a small piece of clothing. "Why were there men in your kitchen?" I ask nicely, just because I know that Alphas are the strongest breed of wolf, and I don't want to see that in action.

She didn't answer me, but walked into her closet and pulled out the white robe. She walked back over to me and slowly slipped my arms through the holes and pulled it over my shoulders.

"I have work to attend to, so my brother Soobin asked to take you to your grandmother." Ryujin grabbed the robe's loose tie and wrapped it around my waist. "While you're there you can grab clothes to wear for today before you go shopping for a wardrobe." Ryujin finished and made sure the top of the robe's fabric-covered up my chest.

Then another guy poked his head through the door. "Ready to go?" He questioned up happily and Ryujin nodded. I walked up to the guy, who I'm guessing is Soobin. He wasn't as tall or as Muscular as Ryujin, but he wasn't lanky looking either.

Before I left the bedroom with Soobin, Ryujin grabbed my arm.

"Be careful." She gazed right into my eyes and I nodded. She kissed my cheek gently sending tiny sparks through my cheek and a feeling of comfort throughout my body.

I followed Soobin out of the house and towards the forest.

"So you're my sister's mate?" It was more of a statement than a question.

I nodded shyly and shoved my hands into the pockets of the robe.

"You seem really innocent and caring." Soobin randomly said out loud and I looked up at him.

"Is that bad?" I ask him.

"No, it's just weird because she's not." Soobin chuckled and smiled down at me. "So how old are you?"

"Eighteen," I answer him hoping he won't judge me on how young I am.

"That's an age difference." He muttered.

"So do you-you have a mate?" I asked him, wanting to change the subject.

"Not yet, but hopefully I won't have to wait as long as Ryujin."

I glanced up at him curiously. "How long is that?"

"Seven years." He stated. "I'm only twenty, so I guess I shouldn't worry."

Seven years, that's a long time. Seven years of trying to find your mate. Suddenly I'm no longer bothered about how protective Ryujin was over me. It feels nice, being her rare gem.

"So Soobin, what's your favorite color?"

During the walk to my grandmother's, I learned a lot about Soobin. His favorite color is orange, he loves Chinese food and tacos, and Bruiser is his dog.

"Soobin, if you and Ryujin are siblings, how come she gets to be the Alpha?" I question him curiously as we near my grandma.

"Well, my father chose Ryujin to take the position. She's stronger, more intelligent, and older." Soobin sighs. "It doesn't really bother me, though, I'm happy for her, she loves being Alpha and I don't think I would have enjoyed the position as much as hers."
