The Only Alpha Luna

The Bargain

"Three days," I couldn't give in to him, this would give me time to prove to myself he wasn't my mate but not provide a long enough attachment for me to fall for him.

"What?!" He shouted.

"You heard me, three days. Three days to prove to me that you are my one and only mate. That you belong to me as much as I belong to you. To prove to me that you are my equal in all things. To prove to me that you can accept me for who I am." I say without thinking again. I wish I could scold myself but both my human, and wolf self were in agreement on this compromise. They both liked this, and they both knew that he would win. I wasn't so sure though, I'm the self that was created as a front, the one that kept both sides of me in check.

"Make it a week," My wolf self said yes, my human self said yes, yet I ignored both.

"Three days or nothing." Both selves whimpered at my words, wanting this man to be with them as long as possible. Why? They both shouted and then silenced as I reminded them about the past. None of them able to provide an example that proves he is nothing like that god awful man I dealt with all those years ago.

"Truly?" The Alpha asks in astonishment. I stare at the washboard abs, and then look up at the hazelnut eyes that seemed to trap my words within me. I looked away as I said the following focusing on the door with the number. Trying to comprehend what a number truly represented, and how we as humans or wolves decided the quantity that they represented.

"Yes," The Alpha is in shock yet, has done nothing, used no Alpha voice to convince me

otherwise. My wolf self was disappointed since she was banking on him being able to scare me deep enough, hard enough for me to say yes. My human self agreed with his actions. Yet, I hated both of them and what they wanted in my opinion we didn't need anyone. Maybe it was because I somehow knew that if my human self, and my wolf self could show all sides of herself, I would be no more. The front would no longer have to be in place.

"Fine," The Alpha hisses, it's then I realize that I don't even know his name. It didn't matter though, and it wouldn't unless he could follow the next set of directions to the agreement.

"You must be on the north western border of my territory, with only two guards, four days worth of clothes, and three night's worth of PJ's by midnight. I will be waiting, if you do not make it there on time than this bargain is null and void." Instead of saying anything he growls and quickly leaves the hallway. I quickly and swiftly put my things in my luggage, while mind linking with the guards I brought telling them their duties were over. To go home, go to bed, and I would see them in the morning for a briefing at 8am sharp. They both said yes Alpha and left. I wasn't sure if they heard anything, and I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted them to hear the argument I just had. Would it make me seem weak? By doing this am I setting a good example for my people? I'm protecting them since I refuse for the same tragedy that happened all those years ago to repeat.

I put the bag on the concierge desk as always with a note telling him to ship it to my P.O box closest to my territory. Since me and him were such good friends, and I was a repeat customer he always did this one favor for me. I ran all the way to my territory, my wolf loving being released. I sit on the rock in which I told him to meet me at, I was glad that the pair of clothes I left in the hole I dug wasn't dirt stained, and still smelt pretty good. I shook my head trying to avoid such thoughts from entering my mind. Yet, they stayed. While I waited all I thought about was him, how did he rule? Would he take my pack away from me? Have I done anything that could put my entire pack in danger? Than they would drift back to his eyes, his hair the way it was short and made me want to run my fingers through it. The two sides that I had long buried seemed to be winning, yet I would not let either one of them take over until I knew that they were safe with him. I would not make myself disappear until I was satisfied.
