Alpha Luke

Thirteen

After dropping Penelope off at the pack house and thanking her for our outing, I drove home while humming my favorite song.

I pulled up the driveway, got out and walked to the front porch only to see Luke in a tux, holding a huge bunch of red roses in front of him with a huge smile plastered on his face.

"Hey, Gorgeous." he smirked at me as he nervously stuffed his fist in his pockets causing my wolf to pur in appreciation of the fine specimen standing in front of her.

"Hey Baby!" I yelped embarrassingly but quickly regained confidence as I made my way past him to the door without making any physical contact.

I glanced back with a grin, my wolf lifting her tail seductively in invitation for her mate to come play; only to hear a growl coming from our mates chest.

I turned and continued in my step. As I walked, I noticed that Luke still hasn't entered and used it to my advantage as I slowly started stripping...

One heel in the foyer...

One in the living room...

My panties in the hallway...

I walked on into our room, stripping my dress off in the doorway and dropping it in the spot as I waited for Luke to catch on and to play the game my wolf so desperately felt the need to play.

I walked to the bathroom and stripped my bra as I stood in the doorway before throwing it onto the bed.

I quickly rushed into the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror, noticing that my face looked a little pale. I pinched my cheeks trying to bring a bit of color to my face and sprayed a little perfume on as I started to become nervous.

Stepping out of the bathroom, I noticed the silhouette of a man sitting on the edge of our bed illuminated in the moonlight, his scent drifting to my nose - Luke's signature cologne. His features hidden in darkness as the night had sprung to life and the white curtains billowed in the wind that came through the open door.

As I stepped closer, the hair at the back of my neck stood further on end with each passing second.

"Babe?" my voice barely audible.

"Hmmm." his voice humming in a low tone before I saw the figure getting up and moving towards me.

Like a predator stalking it's pray this beguiling man ventured towards me at a painstakingly slow pace.

I tried to embrace the scent of my loving mate through the cologne but nothing reached my nose. Strange.

Maybe he's holding back his wolf enough to be alone with me.

Once the predator was close by, he leaned in closer, his face only inches from mine.

A growl of warning came from his chest making me turn my head and leave my neck exposed - much to my dismay - as a sign of submission... But a snarl had me inching to my knees on the ground.

Something's not right.

"This is not our mate." my wolf snapped making me slide backwards across the floorboards as the predator inched towards me once more.

I tried communicating with the rest of my pack members but my pleas fell on deaf ears.

The cold wall brushing against my naked back brought an old way of life back into consciousness.

I had to either fight my way out of here or manipulate my way out of this place that's no longer safe.

Suddenly my scalp felt like it was being torn from my skull as I was hoisted up in the air, my fingers clawing at the grip on my hair.

"Let me go!" I all but snarled at the intruder.

His face nearing mine once again had me snapping my teeth at him before a sting of pain shot through my face and down my spine as a palm came down on my cheek.

The familiar feeling of hatred blossomed for this person in a way that nature could never conjure as I spat in his face.

His face turning towards the moonlight had me close to swallowing my tongue.

I know those blue eyes.

All the dots in my head slowly placed themselves in a straight line of connection that was once a bundle of confusion and before recognition could rise, darkness became my fate once more as it swallowed me as a whole.
