Ayden's pov
The sound of metal clinking wakes me from a deep sleep and I slowly open my eyes to see the Alpha standing over me, undoing my chains, an unreadable expression on his face.
"Get up."
"W-What's going on?"
"Don't ask questions, just get up and follow me."
Slowly sitting up, I slid off the bed and barely managed to take one step before my legs went out from under me. A shout was the only warning I had before a pair of muscular arms wrapped around my waist, stopping me just as I was about to hit the floor.
"Be careful!"
"I-I'm s-sorry."
One hand left my waist, lifting my chin until I was looking into the Alpha's beautiful blue-green eyes.
"Are you able to stand now?"
"Y-Yes."
"Good."
I thought that the Alpha would release me right away and let out a gasp of surprise when he tightened his hold on me, pressing his lips against mine. I tried to push him away and he let out a warning growl, so I immediately stopped.
"You taste so good Ayden."
Giving in, I tangled my fingers in his hair, deepening our kiss with a moan. He slipped his hand under my shirt and it was like someone dumped a bucket of ice water on me.
"S-Stop."
"What is it?"
"This is . . . This is wrong."
"Why? You belong to me."
"You have a mate and I'm just the pack slave . . . please stop torturing me."
"I'm not the one whose torturing people Ayden. You're the one . . . forget it, I didn't come here for this. If you can stand up, then follow me."
A wave of disappointment went through me when his hands released me, sliding to his sides, but I pushed it away and followed behind him as he left the room.
"You will be staying with the Omegas from now on and will assist them in their daily tasks. For now, you're going to help with cooking breakfast for the pack. After that you'll help take care of the pups, after all you'll need the training."
I was confused, but I followed his order staying silent and the Alpha stopped and turned to face me.
"Don't you want to know why, Ayden?"
"Yes, Alpha."
"I told you not to call me that."
"I-I'm sorry."
"Never mind, the reason I want you to train with the Omegas is so you can learn how to cook my mate's favorite dishes as well as my own and you will also be responsible for the rearing of our pups."
"Pups?"
"That's right, Tara is pregnant, she'll be having my pups in seven months."
"But I thought_________________!"
"An Alpha can have pups with anyone he's mated to. What, did you think I needed you to bear my pups?"
"I . . . I wanted to."
The Alpha looked hurt for a minute, but it quickly disappeared.
"I never would have allowed that."
"Please, can you just take me to the Omegas now?"
Without speaking, the Alpha quickly starting walking again as if he couldn't wait to get away from me. We soon arrived at the basement and the Alpha pulled out a small key and unlocked the door.
