Hard Embrace

COMPETE

It was morning as I walked down the sidewalk. I was on my way to Alpha Sterling's home with freshly baked cinnamon rolls....he enjoyed the last batch I made.

My mind constantly replayed the night we had together, and I smiled to myself every time. He was everything I wanted in a mate, and I knew I could take care of him the way he needed.

I figured he would just be getting up, ready to make himself some coffee. My soft baked cinnamon rolls would be a delicious treat...along with my body if he wanted it.

I knocked on the door, then fixed my dress.

If I'm lucky, he'll be horny too.

A shirtless Alpha Sterling opened the door, and I instantly became moist. I smelled the scent of fried bacon coming from out the door as my eyes stared at his perfect body.

"What's up, Mindy?"

"I made some cinnamon rolls and wanted to bring you some. I know how much you love these."

"Oh okay...thanks."

There was a loud sound like a pot hitting the floor. Sterling walked away to see what it was, and I came inside to see as well.

"You alright, baby?"

There was a woman I've never seen before standing at the stove, scrambling eggs. My Alpha stood behind her and kissed her neck.

She only had a t-shirt on....obviously his t-shirt.

"Hello, I'm Mindy," I said loud enough to break up their PDA.

Sterling moved to the side, and the woman turned around. "Oh, Hi..I'm Tamryn."

She was pretty, but she wasn't a werewolf. This has to be one of his many flings.

"Alpha, do you still need me to take care of those papers for you? The papers we talked about a few nights ago..."

"No, Chet handled it already. But thanks."

"Alpha?" Tamryn looked surprised.

"Mindy, thanks for the treats. If I need assistance with anything else I'll contact you."

I gave him the container of cinnamon rolls.

"Okay. Oh, and I left my panties here the last time we talked...have you seen them?"

The look on her face was priceless. I couldn't have her thinking she was special. He looked annoyed, but it was worth it.

"No, I haven't. You can go now."

She turned off the stove and was about to walk out of the kitchen, but Sterling stopped her.

"Nice meeting you, Tamryn."

I smiled as I walked out of his house. I wasn't going to make things easy for her or any other bitch until I got what I want....and that's being his Luna.

***

When I realized Tamryn left the banquet, I was furious. She wasn't a werewolf or a part of my pack, so I couldn't link with her and track her whereabouts.

It's a possibility that she was upset about our encounter with Sylvia, but she has to grow up and get tough skin. I still want her by my side, even if she's too sensitive.

I called her twice with no response...she really was testing my patience. I decided to stay at the banquet, then afterward, I left with some company to take my mind off of being pissed about Tamryn.

The next morning, I began to feel guilty as I stared at the naked sleeping woman in my bed. Not for fucking her but for the way I treated Tamryn in front of Sylvia.

She doesn't know the politics and responsibilities of being an Alpha. My stomach warmed up at the thought of Tamryn laying next to me instead, and I knew I needed to have more patience with her.

Besides...I would've rather been deep inside of her last night than this woman.

I got up, dressed, and got rid of my guest. I gave calling Tamryn's phone another try... still no answer.

Maybe she's home. I'll go over there.

Then I remembered I had a locator on her phone. It was put there for safety precautions once she became mine. I leaned back and checked the map of the tracker.

The area looked familiar, but it was still tracking. Suddenly, my phone rang....it was Tamryn.

"What happened to you yesterday?"

"I'm sorry, babe. I got really uncomfortable, you wouldn't have understood."

Her soft voice took the sting off my words.

"Who took you home, or did you even go home?"

"I called a taxi...I had to wait a while, but I needed to go and clear my head."

While she talked, I got in my car and drove to her place. As I figured, she was saddened by our encounter with my peers. This conversation was leading up to her giving up on our relationship, and I wasn't going to let that happen.

"Davis, I don't think I'm cut out to be your girlfriend."

"I highly disagree...you're perfect."

"I was called trash by your friends..."

"None of those people were my friends."

"Then why did you try to change me for them? You were ashamed of me."

My hand gripped the steering wheel as her sniffles came through the phone.

"I apologize for that, Tamryn. You didn't deserve that treatment."

There was silence on the other end. I continued to speed down the highway, and finally, I pulled up to her apartment.

"I want to make it up to you. Will you let me, sweetheart?"

"I-I don't know..."

"Well, open the door, and we will figure it out together."

I saw door 44 open slowly, and I smiled. Walking towards her, I felt a different energy coming from her. Then it hit me...another scent lingered on her, and it wasn't human.

I walked inside and locked the door. "Did you have company last night?"

Her eyes looked surprised at my question.

"N-No...I was alone."

The scent was beginning to anger me....it was another werewolf and an alpha to make it worse.

She is lying, and I'm going to find out who he is.

"Nevermind, let's start over. I'm sorry for everything, and I really want to be with you, Tamryn. I messed up, but I want to fix it...give me a chance to fix it."

I opened my arms to her, and she walked into my embrace. A sigh of relief left my mouth. I have another chance to claim her, and I will...along with getting rid of the Alpha whose scent is on her.
