Alpha Raphael

22

Idk kinda a filler chapter because I'm adding little details to see if people notice, for all sorts of things ;)

It's a little short too I'm sorry, but I updated fast! <3

Ariel's POV

Give Raphael sex and he treats you like a motherfucking queen. I love it. He spoiled me all day with love and I can't get enough. I love snuggling up to him and not worrying about anything else. He's my safe place.

"I love you Ariel," he whispers, nibbling and kissing the skin on my neck as I lean against him. I smile and close my eyes. I love him too.

"I really have to see my brother today." I tell Raphie. "Can I please go now? I'll only be out for a bit." I promise.

Raphie's grip tightens and he has to think about it for a while. "Fine. Only a little bit." He lets me go.

I kiss his forehead and head out after getting dressed. I head to where they're staying and know he's in there from the scent, no Selene, thank the moon goddess.

"Come in." He says, his voice sounds rough, upset.

I walk in and look at him. He's an absolute mess. He's on the bed, his  eyes red and puffy from crying. He's only wearing sweats and he's got Kleenex all around him.

"Aubrey..." I whisper.

"I think I made a mistake." He says finally. "Selene left me."

"What?" I choke.

"After her outburst, I got mad at her. She had no right to say that. And then... and then... this morning when I woke up, she wrote a note. She said she wasn't my mate." He cries harder.

I go over to the bed and hug him tightly. He needs someone too. Just like me.

"And she isn't." Aubrey adds in a whisper. "I think someone else in the meeting was my mate and she must have gotten her scent on Selene... Selene explained in her note that she played as my mate for the title and the money and everything but she can't live with me anymore. I tried so hard to love her, and I tried so hard to be nice. And I should have known she wasn't, but oh goddess, Ariel I want a mate. I wanted one so bad I convinced myself it was her."

I hold him as he cries. He sobs and sobs and I hold him. I miss his hugs. And this time he's not the one holding me as I cry. I didn't cry much, but when I did it was with Aubrey and I let it all out.

After a while, his tears dry and his sniffles start coming to an end. "You mated with Raphael last night."

I blush heavily. "Yeah."

"I'm glad you have him." Aubrey says softly. "Because he'll protect you better than any other alpha can."

I smile a bit. "Thanks Aubrey... I missed you. I missed you so much. I kept waiting for you to call..."

"Ariel I promise, when I go home, I will call at least every week. I'll call every day. Because I missed you too." Aubrey says. "If it doesn't sound so self conceited... I'd like to be alone again. I just need some time now to..."

"I get it." I say softly.

"Give this to Raphael," he hands me the treaty papers. "Tell him thank you for looking after my baby sister... and thanks for staying with me."

I nod and smile at him before heading back to Raphie. It's dark now, although I can see fine in the dark, tonight it's difficult because of a thick fog.
