Mine, Forever Mine

Chapter 29: Alpha Male

Alexa
"Good morning Brayden." I yawn but don't move. "Good morning to you too." He chuckles and kisses my nose. I scrunch up my nose and he nuzzles my cheek. I rub the side of my face against his and press little kisses against his jaw. A low growl comes from the back of his throat and he lays over me. I let out a little whimper at the sound of his growl. That's all the approval he needed, because from there his lips trailed little kisses up my ear, and back down my neck, all the while he rubbed his face across my skin and I would nip his ear, earning another growl. We now both erupting with growl laden moans, and I didn't bother trying to hide it. One of his hands grabs both of mine and holds them over my head. "Say you're mine." He growls, while nipping my jaw. "Say you're mine." I growl back. He chuckles, and his eyes are light grey, and I know it's not his cougar doing this. He wanted to do it. "I'm yours." I finally say, his torment making me weak. "I'm yours." He says and captures my lips in a possessive dominant kiss. His hands fist in my hair and I can only curve against his body. He growls and I whimper again. He kisses down my jaw and makes sure his face rubs mine. I nip his earlobe and he nips my neck. I gasp and he chuckles. "Make me yours." I whisper and he pulls back quickly. "Are you sure? Your heat's coming, and I know what that means to your kind." He says and I growl. "My kind?" He curses, "I didn't mean it like that. I meant to wolves, your heat means a lot more than to us." He says and I nod. "I'm sure. But this is only my second heat. You would have to wait until after my third if you really want to mate." I explain and he groans. "I'd rather wait. I don't want to injure you in any way." He says. "Then I guess we wait." I say and he sighs. I kiss his neck and he growls. He kisses down my jaw again and my breath quickens. He kisses my neck and my breath catches when I feel his fangs sink into my neck. He licks away the blood then presses a gentle kiss on it. I quickly turn the tables on him and flip us over, with me straddling him. His hands hold my hips tightly and I lean forward. I kiss the base of his neck and trail my lips upward. He groans, and tilts his head. I press one more kiss then bite down. I run my tongue over the mark and kiss it. I kiss his lips and notice his eyes. Close up they are a charcoal grey with silver flecks. "You can't believe how turned on I am." He whispers and I could smell a change in him, and my own body was responding to the subtle shift in hormone levels. Then someone knocks on the door. "I thought you lived alone." I say and flop down beside him.

Brayden
"Come in!" I yell, making sure my body was in contact with Alexa's. Cas opens the door and looks between us. "What do you want, Cas?" I ask with a growl of annoyance behind my words. "Diana's here with Blaez and they aren't pleased with you." He says quickly and I snarl. "Let us get ready. Keep them occupied." I say, jumping up and out of bed. "Got it." He says, and runs out the room. "Who are Diana and Blaez?" Alexa asks me. "My parents." I reply and walk into the bathroom.
Damn Brayden. Smelt like you two were getting hot and heavy in there.
I hear Cas say.
Fūck off Cas. It doesn't involve you what I do with my mate.
Dude, I don't want to get with a wolf. They stink like wet dog.
What do you think we smell like to them? And the answer's not flowers.
I know, I know. But hurry up. Blaez caught her scent already.
Shīt!
I quickly dress and spray cologne on myself. I feel hot hands sliding up my chest and warm lips kiss my neck. "I need you now, Brayden." She whispers seductively in my ear. "Alexa, not now." I growl and hold her at arms length. Her skin was burning and I knew it. Only one day, and she was in heat.
"Wait up here. I'll take care of it when I come back, okay?" I say, and she nods eagerly.
Now we get to mate her!
Bobby! No!
Why not? She's eager. Again.
She's in heat. She doesn't know what she's talking about.
So?
I'm not arguing with you.
"I want your cub." She says and I squeeze my eyes close. "No, you don't." I growl, my eyes charcoal grey. "But I do. I want it sooo bad." She growls and tries to unbutton my pants. I grab her hands and she looks up at me. She couldn't mean what I think she means. She struggles in my hands and I growl. She stops and her breathing quickens. I look down, and quickly look back up. "Alexa, when did you take your shirt off?" I ask. "I don't remember." She giggles. I lift her up and she wraps her legs around my waist. She tilts her head back and I lick and kiss her mark. I bite down on it again and her body cools. She unwraps her legs but I keep her pressed against me.
"Brayden!" I hear Blaez yell. I stiffen and she looks up at me. "Want me to stay up here?" She asks and I look at her. "No. I asked a female from the pack your size to loan you a dress and heels. I put them in the closet for you. Hurry and dress if you want or shower. I have to go handle those two downstairs." I say, kiss the top of her head, and exit the room. I take a deep breath and walk down the stairs.
Blaez looks up and stands. "Brayden." He says. Diana runs to me and takes into her arms for a hug. I hug her back then she hits the back of my head. "Why didn't you call me?" She growls and I rub the back of my head. "I just got settled in. I didn't have a chance to." I say in defense. She purses her lips but doesn't say another word. "Why do I smell wolf?" Blaez growls. Cas looks at me with a smirk and I growl at him. "Answer me Brayden." Blaez says with power backing his words. "I found her in the forest near the border. It was dark and she smelt of blood. I've had her here for the past two days." I say, looking him straight in the eye. "Who. Is. She?" He bites out. "Alexa Sinclair, Alpha Female of the RedHill Pack." She says as she comes down. His eyes widen in surprise then go back to their iciness. "And Ms. Sinclair, what were you doing on my son's lands?" He asks. "I got lost. I was staying at the AshPeak home for a few days and I couldn't stay another day. I ran, and Brayden and Cas found me." She says, while keeping her head up. "But isn't your pack in your King's top four Royal packs?" He asks and she nods slowly. "Strange. Very strange." He says and she looks up. I look at her neck and see she put a velvet choker, but part of her mark was still visible. "And let me ask you Ms. Sinclair, why do you have a mark on your neck?" He growls. "Cassander, care to explain?" He asks, turning to Cas. He gulps and looks to me. "I won't disobey my Alpha." He says and looks down at his feet. Diana rubs Blaez's shoulder, "Blaez, it isn't our business." She says. His eyes still burn with coldness but he sits down. Alexa sits in one of the chairs and I have no choice but to sit with Cas.
You're not going to tell them?
No. Maybe. I don't know for sure.
Well you better. Blaez does not like Alexa very much.
I know that. But what can I do? Tell them their son is mated with a wolf?
You mated?
No. She said not until after her third heat.
Which one is she on?
What?
I can smell it, Brayden.
Great.
Yeah. Now, which one is she on?
Second I think.
Then you have to wait this whole week for it to end. And another few months.
I know that, Cassander.
It's Cas.
You were born Cassander.
So?
Idiot.
I look between Blaez, Diana, and Alexa. Diana was calm and friendly which was good. Blaez still was glaring. "Dad." I say and he looks up at me. "Come with me. I've got something I need to show you." I say, and he nods. We walk down the hall to my soundproofed office. He walks in first and I close the door behind him. "Take a seat." I say, pointing to one of the chairs. He nods again and sits, then looks up at me. "What was it you needed to show me?" He asks. I sigh, and unbutton the top three buttons of my shirt. "Your mating tattoo. It came!" He says happily. I nod, and tilt my head. I pull back the collar of the shirt to show my mark. His smile fades and he stares at it. "Who?" He simply asks. "She's out there." I say and he snarls. "A wolf, Brayden? A wolf?" He growls, standing up to me. "We're compatible, Blaez. I marked her first, and it faded. I knew if it were to last, she had to mark me as well. And now we both are." I say and he shakes his head, pacing. "No. You cannot be with a wolf. You have plenty of females here, choose one." He says and I shake my head. "Bobby agreed with me. She's ours." I say and he sits back down. "Fine then. I won't be able to change your mind, but promise me you won't mate yet." He says. "She won't let me. You know how wolves feel about their heats." I say. "Yes I do. They don't mate until after their third, because either they lose the pup or it is stillborn." He says and I freeze. "They lose their pup?" I ask and he nods. "We can mate whenever we want. It won't affect our cubs." He says. "Have you talked with Kaleb lately?" I ask, and he shakes his head with a sad smile. "Kaleb isn't coming home, Brayden. You know this." He says and I growl. "He is. I know it." He nods and looks away. "Come on. Your mother's asking where we went." He says and we go back.
Alexa is laughing when we come back. She looks up and smiles and Diana stands up. Blaez sits, and pulls Diana onto his lap. She giggles and I groan. "Mom." She just laughs and leans back onto him. "Brayden, have something to tell your mother?" Blaez asks me and I nod. "Mom..." I start and she shakes her head, cutting me off. "I know about you and Alexa." She says and I look at her. "How?" I ask. "I can smell her on you and vice versa. You practically made yourself her perfume." She says and I look down. "Excuse me. I need to get something." Alexa says and gets up. I sit down in her seat, and pull her back onto my lap. She was pulled right up along my side, her legs thrown over mine. I rest a hand on her thigh and Cas looks at us in amusement. "Thing is, Alexa. I never thought you could catch Brayden's eye." Diana says. "What do you mean?" Alexa asks in curiosity. "He's very picky. He's glanced but will not go up to them." She says and Cas nods. "I was surprised he even brought you here to be honest. He never will talk to a female. Yet here he is, marked." Cas says and Diana looks at us. "You're both marked?" She asks and we nod. Blaez even nods, "He showed me." Alexa removes the choker and I peel back the collar. Blaez looks at Alexa's intently and at mine. "Well, while we're here we should get started." Diana murmurs. "On what?" I ask. "Your ceremony, Brayden. You know we have to make you both one." She says and I groan. "Do I have to have one?" Blaez laughs, "You can't win, Brayden." I wrap my arms around Alexa's waist and I nuzzle into her neck. "Well this... is very interesting." Blaez says, and pulls Diana tighter against him. She kisses his chin and he smiles. "So Alexa, do you plan on telling your pack?" Blaez asks. She stills and I rub her thigh. "No, I don't." She says, and Diana gasps. Then a howl rings from outside.
