The Alpha Can Wait

Chapter 9

Eli's P.O.V

What the fuck is this bitch doing here?

I watch as my mother saunters into my house, her shadow passing by my study, since she doesn't know exactly where I am. I can smell her strong perfume waft into my nostrils lighting up my discomfort of her being here in my presence.

Why is she back?

I haven't seen my mother since before the Match back in June. She left immediately after I won and I haven't seen her since then. She's been known to leave out of the blue all the time, only coming back for some Luna priorities when father called for it. All throughout my life my mother was in and out, never really staying for long periods of time. I know she leaves, she hates me and I understand why.

I'm not her son.

My eldest brother and youngest brother are her true sons while I'm from another woman. She has always held a grudge against me for this. Knowing that I'm the product of another woman bothers the shit out of her and the fact that I'm Alpha, and not apart of her bloodline, makes her feel powerless.

"Eli?" I look back down at Hana after focusing on the door, waiting for my mother's perfume to fade in the house.

Her face is heated and a film of sweat glistens on her skin. I smell her excitement slowly die out and my desire to mark her lowers in intensity.

I climb off of her and go to sort through some of my paperwork lying on my desk, getting ready for my assignments for the day. I have a lot to due, apparently there's complications on the borders. Humans are trying to enter unknowingly on our territory and the rouges aren't helping.

I hear shuffling from behind me and sense Hana heading to the door.

"Where are you going?" I question, still sifting around in my piles of paper.

Her breath pulls in and her nervousness increases.

"School? I have school today." I stop what I'm doing, walking over to her.

She tenses as my feet pad across the hardwood.

"You're not going like that." I note her attire, which is only my shirt and boxers.

Watching her like this makes me hard all over again and it takes a lot not to touch and kiss her against the door.

"I'm going home first." She turns her gaze away form me, scratching her short hair as she tries not act like she wants to leave.

"Fine." My voice is clipped but I open the door for her to walk out.

She looks dishearten that I'd agree so easily. I'm not one to fight for someone to listen.

"Eli are you-"

"Shut up and get out now. " I don't need my mom hearing us and I really need her to get out before I pull her back in to finish what I started.

Her face hardens and I already know what's coming next.

"You know what?! Fuck you Eli!" Hana turns back around and bounds for the door, slamming it behind her as she storms out my house.

Crap. Her reactions are so easy to read even though it's been less then a week since we met.

"Eli? boy where are you?"My father's voice travels down the hallway. "Come now."

I choose to listen to my father, trailing down the hallway down to the kitchen where the voices emit. My maid, Grace, comes up holding clothes to me.

"Master Eli? Would you like a shirt? I have Lady Hana's clothing as well." She frantically holds the clothing to me but I dodge her walking around to keep going.
