The Royal Alpha

Chapter 54: The Dream!

FENRIS

"Open the damned door, Sierra," I shout from the other side of the room in our cabin for the third time now. All I can hear from the inside is that she's crying and her pain beats at me. I don't like it one bit. I don't care what would have happened. I just care about the fact that she's with me now and that she's happy with me.

I lost control back there in the meeting hall that is the only reason why I allowed her to run away but never will I let her go away from me. She has no reason to be upset because of some orthodox, hypocritic idiot's opinion about our mating.

"I will break this door in the next minute if you don't open it," I mutter quietly showing her how serious I am about the fucking door. Damn the door!

After a few seconds, the door opens to reveal my mate. Her face is tear-stricken and her hair is flowing all over her shoulders making me itch to run my fingers through them. She's still in the earlier dress and all I want to do is rip it off her body and lose myself in her but I control myself, barely.

I start to walk in the room and she launches herself at me. Goddess! The trust she has in me. She jumps at me with the confidence that I will catch her and I do, every time she does that.

"Shh. It's okay baby. I don't care about what ifs and what would've have happened. All I care is about you and us. Okay?" I fold her in my arms as she sobs those gut-wrenching sobs and I want to all but punch Conan in the face. Ignoring the violent urge, I pick her up and walk towards the bed, sitting with her in my lap. She continues to sob with her face buried in my neck and I let her get it out.

It is anyway time for us to talk about the past and end it here itself so, I wait for her to speak.

"I am sorry, Fenris," she hiccups again.

"It's okay baby. Just don't cry anymore, please. I feel helpless when you cry like that," I whisper and she immediately stops hiccupping. She sits up in my lap and lifts her puffy face to look at me, offering her lips to me.

How can I resist? I bend down to cover her lips with mine, making her believe that I am still here with her. After a few seconds she relaxes in my arms, her fear subsiding a bit, and leans on my shoulder heavily. I caress her hair slowly, soothingly, giving her time to speak.

"I am an only child of my parents and Aztec is also an only child of the Alphas. Being the Alpha and Beta kids, we always were the most protected pups and that is the reason why we formed such a good friendship. When I turned 17, I started misunderstanding Aztec's behaviour whenever he used to be protective of me. I thought that he's being protective maybe because we are mates and from then, I started thinking that we are mates. I started behaving like that and also kept the other she-wolves including Alexandria away from Aztec. We fooled around a bit but then when I was 19, he wanted to have sex to know what it felt like and me being under the impression that he's my mate I gave him my virginity." She speaks without a pause and I control myself to react when she confesses about her involuntary disloyalty. I don't interrupt to tell her about Alexandria's traitorous activities but let her come clean so that when I accept her now, she won't have any doubt in her mind about my love for her. What's in the past cannot be changed but I can't let it affect our future.

"After that, he left for the training. He just said good-bye without actually talking about that night and I being the naïve girl thought that he must be under the tension of the training and I let it go. He didn't contact me once after he left for the training. I again ignored the signals and then when I turned 20 I came here in the school. When we met after a year, his behaviour was strictly friendly and again I misunderstood that he's waiting for his birthday to claim me as his mate. He even introduced me as his packmate to Tatiana," she laughs hysterically. I hold her close to my heart kissing her head in an effort to calm her.
