The Feral Mate

Chapter 43

Pasha showed me the way to the True Alpha’s house, I took her straight up stairs and laid her down on the bed, River laid there crying on my chest, I hugged her tight and let her cry it out until she fell asleep.

I don’t know how long passed when there was a knock at the door, “what?” the door opened and Atlas walked in, “what do you want Atlas?” “Alpha Leo is down stairs, he would like to talk to you, I will stay with River” “fine” I gently got out of bed “please look after her” “I will” said replied as she slid into the bed, where I was laying.

As I walked down the stairs, Pasha and Alpha Leo were sitting down, talking.

“Huxley, please take a seat” “its Alpha Huxley, only my friends and mate can call me that and you are neither, Alpha Leo” “my apologies, Alpha Huxley, please take a seat and have a drink, it’s a single malt scotch”.

I didn’t sit down with them, I picked up my drink and downed it in one “talk, explain to me why the fuck my mates Grandmother called her a whore?” “She was just shocked to hear that she was mated, that’s all” “is she not allowed one? Does she want River to stay single and alone, oh I know what it really is, it’s because I'm a feral? Isn’t it?” Alpha Leo didn’t say anything, he didn’t need to answer me, I already knew the answer.

“I'm leaving and I'm going to take my mate with me and pass this message to your new mate, she will never see River again” “Huxley, you can't do that to her” shot Alpha Leo a look “Alpha Huxley, please don’t do something so rash” “why the fuck can't I? I'm looking out for mate, why should I let her go through what she did earlier? Her own Grandmother no less calling her a whore, the one that should always be on her side” “ok, lets all calm down, Alpha Huxley, please stay the night and we all can start a fresh in the morning, it’s a long drive back, I bet you all are tired from the drive here”, I grabbed the bottle of scotch and walked out the door.

I didn’t want to stay here, not how River has been treated, I downed a few shots from the bottle before sitting down on the steps, I heard the door open and then Alpha Leo sat next to me, he took the bottle and took a shot, “Alpha to Alpha, do you really love River?” “Yes, I do” “will you protect her?” “With everything I have, I love her so much, yeah it might have been a short time but I really do, I know I am still classed a feral and feral Lycan’s are dangerous but I don’t think I am, not now that I have River, I've never felt like this before, it’s a strange feeling sometimes, all I think about is her, what she up to? Did she sleep well? Is she hungry?” “I see that you care for her deeply, it’s a shock to hear that she is mated in such a short time, I've known her, her whole life, when her parents were killed I took her and the twins under my wing, they were the only pups in the pack, they were our future, then the twins left the pack, I already knew that the pack was dying out but I had a small hope that they could save the pack but they left” he said taking another shot from the bottle.

He handed me the bottle back as he stood up, “I'm going back to Maxine’s place, please look after her, I will call in the morning for when breakfast will be ready” then he left, I had another shot before going back into the house.

Entering the house, Pasha was nowhere to be seen, I went upstairs to the room I had put River in, Pasha was standing at the door looking in, I walked up to see what he was looking at, River and Atlas were fast asleep, cuddled up together, “it’s a shame to have to wake her up” “you saying you want to sleep with me Pasha?” I said putting my arm over his shoulder “what? No, I'm not in to dudes, even if I was your not my type, I think we would both be tops” he shook my arm off his shoulder, I let out a little laugh “I would make you my bottom bitch” “your not touching my arse” “shame, it’s such a nice arse” I said giving his arse a squeeze, Pasha looked at me shocked, “I'm joking, shall we leave them for a little while and go finish this off?” I said holding up the bottle, “you trying to get me drunk so you can fuck me? I see straight through you” “I was going to try” I laughed.

We sat outside drinking, Lycan’s have a high tolerance to alcohol but some spirits that have a high % of alcohol in like scotch could get you drunk if you drink bottles of it, I joked with Pasha, flirting with him as we drank, it was gone midnight when we had finished off the bottle, I could feel a little buzz from it, probably because I've not drank in over five years.

Pasha picked Atlas up and took her to their room, I did ask Pasha one last time if he wanted to be my bottom, he told me to fuck off, I took River’s trousers and jacket off, she was still fast asleep with me moving her around, I took all my clothes off, I prefer to sleep naked but I had brought some PJ’s as I didn’t want to be naked in River’s Grandmother’s house but they were all still in the car outside her house.
