Triple Alpha Threat: Book 1

Ch. 4 - Dark Wolf

Drake POV

Night after night, I prowled the woods of the Nightmare pack, always just a whisper away from their border. As the Alpha of the North, I had no business here, yet something kept me tethered to this enemy territory. I wasn't sure what I was searching for, but I knew I'd find it soon enough.

The pack house was bustling, a large gathering in full swing. Hundreds had come from miles around to celebrate, blissfully unaware of the chaos about to unfold. An explosion shattered their revelry, sending the pack into a frenzy but I remained hidden in the shadows as a silent observer.

Three unknown wolves crept from the woods, stalking six women around a fire. I watched, uninterested in their fate but curious about the attackers' audacity. The Nightmare pack was the strongest in the South; only fools would challenge them.

Then, a scent hit me. A rich, sweet, scent with a burst of citrus and a hint of honey vanilla. My wolf stirred, an undeniable pull drawing me toward it. My mate was here, in this cursed territory. A woman destined to destroy me and my brothers.

A growl rumbled through me as I watched her. She stood defiant, ready to protect her people despite the overwhelming odds. My wolf wanted to claim her, to drag her away, but I fought against the urge. She was dangerous, a potential downfall, yet my instincts screamed to make her mine.

I turned my fury on the other wolves, ending them swiftly and brutally. When her voice reached my ears, commanding and powerful, I wanted to hear more, to dominate that strength. But the distraction was short-lived.

One of the wolves snapped at her dress, and my vision turned red. My wolf erupted, propelling me forward. I rammed the wolf, killing it instantly. Standing over the lifeless body, I locked eyes with her. She was a goddess, and I was her dark guardian.

With a final, lingering look, I forced myself to retreat. I needed to get back to my brothers, back to the club where I could lose myself in a meaningless distraction.

Inside, a petite blonde waited, fear written plainly across her delicate features. She wasn't forced to stand before me, no, she would have sold her firstborn for the privilege. And yet she shuddered beneath the weight of the anger radiating from a powerful Alpha as I came face-to-face with the truth of my existence.

I had found my fated.

A woman as dangerous as she was captivating, destined to unravel everything I had built.

"Don't speak," I commanded. "Kneel."

She obeyed, trembling before me as I undid my belt, my body a live wire of tension and fury.

"Suck my dick," I ordered, my voice a guttural snarl. She complied, and I closed my eyes, imagining my mate's face instead. The fantasy only intensified my need. My hand tightened in her hair, my hips thrusting violently.

"You're mine!" I shouted, lost in a haze of lust and rage. The pressure built until I exploded, a guttural roar tearing from my throat. But it wasn't enough. My wolf demanded more. He demanded our mate, marked and claimed.

Pushing the woman away, I roared at her to leave. The battle inside me raged on. "We need our mate," my wolf growled. "She is ours."

"She will betray us," I warned. "We can't be close to her."

But my wolf was relentless. I stormed back to my brothers, frustration boiling over. "Do you have a plan?" I demanded from River.

"Our Beta friend came through," he replied, a wicked grin spreading. "Let's go."

My other brother, Chase,smirked at me, ever the instigator. "Someone's extra horny today."

"Shut up!" I snapped, grabbing him by the shirt. He laughed, unphased. The bond between us was strong; we were triplets, one soul split into three.

They didn't know about her. I couldn't bring myself to share the truth. The storm inside me was mine alone to weather. We had a mission: to conquer the South. Only then would I claim my mate, whatever the cost.

I didn't know what I would do with her. Fuck her, kill her, tie her up to satisfy my horny wolf day and night. There were so many things I wanted and needed, and it was already driving me insane.
