Raised Among Alphas

80 - Alpha's Meeting

Alora POV

"What is this?" Ithax whispered in my ear, bringing me out of my trance. 

I didn't even notice when he shifted, but now he was standing right behind me. His chest flushed and glued to my back. His broad shoulders towering over me. His left hand found my waist and gripped it pulling me closer to him, while his other hand was trailing the markings on my arm. 

The opals flashed under his touch as if they were caught on fire. I lifted my eyes over my shoulder to find his lost on me. His breathing was forced and I could feel the desire burning with his touch. The grey in his gaze was gone and only dark lust remained in them. Those eyes and the light touch of his heavy breath under my ear had transported me into my most animalistic fantasies. 

I was craving more of him, more of his touch. I wanted him to explore every inch of this new body I was given. I wanted to see my skin burning fires over me, all provoked by Ithax. 

Losing any sense of decency, I closed the distance between our lips. It wasn't subtle by any means. It was desperate, passionate, and lustful. Just as his eyes. This earthy taste clashed against my lips and Ithax quickly intruded his tongue into me, giving me more of his vivid flavour. 

Standing perfectly still behind me, the wandering hand that had been exploring my arm, went straight for my neck. Lifting my face to him and finding a place on the nape of my neck where his fingers tangled with my hair. Ithax had me locked under his powering arms, and I wasn't willing to ever escape them. 

I felt his excitement rising against my lower back, and then he cut our kiss. Holding onto his last strand of self-control, he cleared his throat. With a devilish smile and a glare in his eyes, he gave me a last peck on my lips and held on to my waist. He was using my body as a shield to hide the evident lust during his current naked state. Our eyes remained on each other as well as the rising aura of passion in the room. 

"It's my new armor" I answered him, remembering by mere luck the question he had asked me before losing my brain under his gaze, lips, and touch. 

He lifted one eyebrow confused, my answer not answering his doubts. 

I smiled shyly at him then turned my attention to the room. Everyone remained frozen staring at us. 

"Leaders, we should talk" I pinned my eyes on Jathred and Leila first, then Kasthor and Valerie. I scanned the room looking for the wolves I had mind-linked before and gestured them to follow me. Lastly, my eyes landed in the far corner where Dylan was waiting to meet my eyes. He understood that I wanted him to join us. 

One by one the wolves around us shifted and got their robes on or left, going back to their rooms. Except about a dozen of now human bodies that were now heading to the fourth floor and into Jathred's office. The members that were attending the Alpha meeting. 

Jathred led the way up the stairs with Leila linked to his arm. They were followed by Beta Mathias and Beta Thierot. Kasthor and Valerie stood right behind them, then three of our Elders. Dylan and his red-haired sister went after them. Mikah had asked his second-in-command to join him and both of them gave me a quick bow before heading up the stairs. Sophie and Tioban, the guard posted by Ithax to my Luna squad made their way to us. I'm assuming Ithax mind-linked them to join us, they followed after the Shrubland wolves. I gestured to Roger to follow them and lastly, Ithax and me. We linked our hands and walked up the four flights of stairs, he had found a robe and I was no longer his human shield. 

The echoes of the many footsteps on the stones were the only sound around us. And they dispersed as all 18 of us walked down the hall and into the office of the Alpha of the Great Grasslands.
