My Alpha and Beta

Ch. 104 - Who I'm Meant to Be

Riley POV

I followed Liam back to the little party our company held at an upscale restaurant. Men were dressed in their finest suits and women their most extravagant dresses. It was a beautiful venue bathed in white with silver sparkles everywhere.

I watched Darrel with heated eyes waiting for the perfect opportunity. I wasn't sure what Liam was planning, but I was sure it ended with death. I couldn't let that happen, but a part of me did. We needed Jax to tame us both.

"You ok?" Sophia looked at me with worry.

"Sure." I took a long sip of my wine.

"I can feel your Lycan begging to come out. What did Liam do this time?"

"It wasn't Liam, someone from my past."

"Ooo, I smell death. I like it!" Sophia's eyes shined purple as her hand rubbed over her baby bump. She was on child number six and I didn't know how she did it. That woman was always pregnant and usually with more than one.

"My baby is going psycho." Her husband wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Does my wife need a lesson on how to behave? They are my favorite to teach." He whispered in her ear and she purred at him. Everyone in the pack knew when Sophia's eyes turned purple she was not to be messed with. Only her mate could calm her hybrid, and it usually involved them naked. Come to think of it, Barry liked hard lessons too. Maybe it ran in the family.

"Catch me if you can, mate." Sophia painfully twisted his wrist, then ran out the back door. I knew better than to expect anything else from a fairy. I don't think she did much else than fuck her mate.

"Excuse us Riley. My mate needs a good spanking." Dylan said with black eyes then stalked after her. We didn't give those two much responsibility at the office, or at the pack. Luckily for them, they were family though.

My eyes caught Barry's as he growled after his sister's mate. For a few months they all even tried to live together. There was more than a handful of times Liam and I had to pull Barry off Dylan, and Sophia off Barry. Sophia was a wild one and had intuition of things to come. With her hybrid fully released she was a devious child using the world as her playground. They are a very strange family, but I considered them my family.

Darrel moved towards the steps and caught my eye. I smiled seductively at him and he nodded to follow. I would love to get that man alone.

"Find me in ten minutes and make sure Becky is with you." I told Liam across the room. My handsome man, cleaned shaved in a charcoal suit stood with his hands in his pockets. His eyes flashed black at me sensing my instant arousal from his presence.

"Ten minutes, then I'm taking you home for a good spanking too." He warned me. Despite being across the room werewolves could hear everything perfectly.

"I haven't been bad."

"You have no idea how bad you are right now. I'm looking forward to enlightening you though."

"It's not bad to be sexy. Stop staring at my ass." I shot my head back at him as I climbed the stairs. His eyes were glued to my back side.

"Your scent is the little temptress. Ruby is begging for a good fuck and I plan to make her earn it."

"My scent is as it always has been, and don't forget who controls Ruby."

"It so much more potent tonight, love, and I know exactly who controls her."

My eyes squinted at him and he looked down between his legs. Men were impossible with their big egos and larger dicks. Liam knew something I didn't though.

He was playing some game and of course stacking the deck in his favor. Maybe he deserved a good spanking. I imaged Liam laying above me, eyes dark with desire as Jax put our fierce Alpha in his place. Liam would deny liking it, but I knew he wanted Jax to dominate him. Goddess, we just wanted Jax home.

"There you are." Darrel smiled at me.

"Here I am."

"Your perfume smells so good. What is it?" His head leaned to my neck, taking a deep breath. Did my arousal effect even humans?

"Nothing special. You smell good too. It's been so long since I last seen you. How have you been?"

"Not much has changed. I'm the CEO now. This merger will put me on top too. Your husband makes the final decision, right?"

"He does. Liam is very powerful."

"Is there any way I could persuade you to help me get this deal?"

"Like what?" I batted my eyelashes at him.

"I think we both know many ways I could help you." His lips moved closer to mine. This bastard was hitting on me and with his wife downstairs.

"I always found you so handsome. My marriage has been a little... distant lately. Liam is away so often on business."

"I bet it gets lonely. A beautiful woman like you should be cherished." Darrel kissed me and I let him with a smile. I could smell my mate close. "Let me cherish every inch of this sexy body." Darrel's hand grabbed my ass, pushing me closer and forcing his tongue between my lips. I let him take me a moment, but didn't kiss him back.

"Darrel! How could you?" Becky's voice squealed out.

"Don't make this a big deal, Bec. You know I always wanted Riley." Darrel said, ignoring her tears and looked back to me. "Why don't you let me take you home? Bec can drive back on her own."

"Really! You married him?" I looked to Becky while pointing at Darrel. There seriously wasn't a more disgusting human and this stupid woman married him.

Becky's mouth dropped open embarrassed then she ran from us. I felt bad, but not that much. Now it was Darrel's turn.

"Where were we?" He whispered, leaning back to my lips.

I kissed him roughly, taking control and making him tense at how aggressive I was becoming. My body tightened, heat rising, and eyes burning red.

"Ow!" His hand came to his lips. Blood stained his finger and it made me smile. "You're a little wild aren't you? I'm in charge here babe..." he smirked at his words then looked up meeting my wolf. "What the fuck!" He screamed.

Darrel tried pushing me off the outside balcony and quickly realized I wasn't some scared little woman anymore.

"What... what are you?"

"Your worst nightmare, Darrel." I stepped closer to him, grabbing his neck in my hand. "I should warn you, tell you to never touch another woman without her consent again. I should make you pay for what you try to do to me." I broke his wrist with one hand and he screamed in pain. The sound satisfied my wolf greatly. "but I rather watch you die."

"Please... no." He croaked out as I strangled him. Then I tossed my hand out and threw him over the edge.

"Gorgeous!" Liam was next to me in a flash, hand over the balcony and holding onto Darrel's shirt. He screamed as his feet dangled in the air. "Bad girl!" Liam reprimanded me.

"He was bad. I was giving justice to all the women he molested, or worse." I pouted as he lifted him back on the balcony.

Liam stood Darrel on his wobbly legs and looked him in the eye. "Run and don't come back!" He ordered and Darrel bolted out of sight.

"You can't go around killing innocent people, or exposing our kind to humans."

"He isn't innocent and it wouldn't of mattered if you let him die."

Liam pulled my body in his arms. "I should had known you would be unstable tonight. I'm sorry."

"I'm not unstable!"

"Baby, you're so out of control and I can't wait until I get you alone. Brandon already left to pick up our kids."

"What? You..."

"You and me, all night. I promised I would show you how much I love you and I intend too."

"Take me home!"
