Catch me Alpha

A threat arrives

Grace's POV

Once again I woke up in the same white room. This time, however, it was not so bright, outside there was a storm that obscured the whole plain in which this house was located.

Yet the first hours of the day spent sleeping, I spent them in the warmth, suddenly the comfortable heat was gone, only coldness.

I felt the melancholy that this place gave me, far from home, far from the life I knew.

There is no way to tell what time of day it is, the weather outside doesn't allow me to find out. If it had been morning, I would have heard birds chirping, if there were any in this corner of the world. There are no noises, the screams of dangerous creatures from last night seem to have dissolved during the dark hours.

I try to get up when I hear a knock on the door, without having time to answer, in the room recapitulates the blond head of a man which I do not know. Immediately I grab the lamp near the bedside table, ready to defend myself with my teeth.

"I'm a friend" the man raises his hands in surrender. "Please lower the lamp, I'm just here to escort you to your room."

"I'm already in my room. Who are you?" The man giggles

"The big boss would never allow his mate to settle in the wing dedicated to the infirmary" The man now continues to laugh

"I'm fine here, I'll ask one last time. Who are you?" The man now continues to laugh, does he found my situation that funny?

"I'm Jimmy, the beta of the pack" he comes closer and puts his hand on the lamp I had grabbed, and slowly puts it back on the nightstand. I don't know why, but my instinct tells me to trust him.

"You are certainly his type" he turns and with a tilt of his head invites me to follow him.

Leaving the room, I find myself in a large corridor with countless doors, behind them there probably were room similar to the one we were in until a few seconds ago. I begin to doubt that this is just a simple house, it is probably a packhouse.

Jimmy goes left and I follow him behind keeping a safe distance, so I can watch all his movements carefully.

'Prudence first'

Jimmy blue-eyed, although looks like a boy too young for the role he holds, doesn't seem the type to mess with.

His posture and his physical appearance let glimpse hard years of battles and sacrifices. I know more than anyone else that the role of beta is a big burden, to be responsible more than anyone else, to answer directly to the alpha.

At home I wasn't just the second in command, I was the executioner. All the enemies, all the opponents ended up face to face with me, I was responsible for it. I firmly believe that Jimmy's role is no different from mine.

Jimmy stops in front of an open elevator.

"Your room is on the fifth floor, last door on the right" with a finger he show me the button to press

"I thought you would show me my room" It is not that the idea of ​​being close to him exalted me, but having someone whose name you know helps me feel less alone

"If your mate knows me close to you inside the elevator, he would probably cut off my head" he chuckles "The alpha is very uhm... protective" he smiles when he finds the right word to say. I would have said... paranoid

"What's his name?" my mate, the alpha,big boss these nicknames begin to tire me.

Jimmy sighs

"He will tell you"

"He doesn't expect me to call him alpha, does he?"

"He expects you to submit." Jimmy's friendly eyes turn accusing.

Right

This isn't just about her and her mate, it's about the whole pack since he's the alpha. If he doesn't stabilize the power, the whole pack suffers. John too often found himself in these circumstances.

Oh John, I couldn't even thank him, not even say goodbye.

The elevator opens revealing the fifth floor to me. I follow Jimmy's instructions and go to the last door. Without delay, I open the door.

If I hadn't leaned on the door jamb, I would certainly have fallen. The air in the room is thick with his smell, so strong it almost makes me give in. The smell of pines enters my lungs. With the fear of not being able to make it, I close the door. There must be a mistake, this is not my room. I can't even go in without my knees going weak and my lust getting stronger

"Don't you like your new room?" I jump in surprise. I learned too quickly to recognize his deep and suave voice.

Slowly I turn around, I thought I could avoid him at least for a day, avoid the fire that devours me inside whenever he's near me.

"There must be a mistake"

His dark monolid eyes scan me, his face a few centimeters from mine, this closeness sends my hormones into disarray

"No mistake was made." I can feel his warm breath that smells of mint, all my will begins to slowly give in to temptation.

His black hair is pulled back, his skin is clear and cand. I am so close that I can see a small mole in the center under his lower lip. It's really attractive, so unique.

"Go in, inside you will find everything you need. Once ready, join me in my upstairs office." He comes closer, smelling me. He gently moves my hair with one hand. My skin starts to burn in anticipation. Suddenly he stops and heads for the elevator.

"Be quick, I hate waiting"

And once again he leaves me too dazed to answer. I no longer recognize myself, I cannot form a decent sentence in his presence. How should I think of living in his house, in his own room if I melt like ice cream everytime I'm in front of him.

A hot shower might help me

Noah's POV

Sleeping next to Grace was one of the most refreshing experiences of my life. I felt at home, loved, even if she doesn't know it and I highly doubt she would have agreed. Reluctantly I had to leave her and get up. I am comforted by the idea of ​​seeing her again later.

I was waiting frantically for her, I had to talk to her quickly. Jimmy had the morning shift and he was not reporting good news. The borders were surrounded by enemy wolves. It happened all the time, the rival packs knew I still hadn't found my mate, and each time my territories were targeted by alphas eager to take over my land. They thought I was weak, yet I had defeated them all. I often struggled with alphas accompanied by their mates, they were too strong together. But thanks to my strategies and my father's experience, I had always managed to split the alpha from his Luna during attacks. In order to spare my army losses, I had to aim for them. But I have the bad feeling that now strategies can no longer serve, the new attackers learn from the experience of the defeated, they become more and more cautious. The appearance of Grace is a gift, but it can also be a sign, to finally put an end to all these years of attacks. With stabilized power, no one would dare challenge me anymore, I was already one of the most powerful alphas and with my Luna beside me only a fool would try to challenge me.

I'm not going to push Grace into an open fight though, I didn't bring her here to get stronger or to solve my problems. No, she's here because she's part of me, the half I can't live without.

I will get rid of these wolves as I always have, while she will be safe and well protected.

A light knock on the door distracts me from my thoughts. I smile, it is undoubtedly her, I feel it from her smell, it reaches my lungs from beyond the door.

"Come in"

And there she is, wearing a white sweater, high boots and a skirt that is little too short. I obviously didn't mind seeing her like this. I really loved the view but the house was full of wolves, full of predators. The skin that the skirt left uncovered distracted me from my goal. Fantasizing about what was hiding under her clothing, would get me nowhere. Indeed, it would get me to bed with her. Lately, especially in her presence, I find myself having little control, I can not behave properly.

I wouldn't mind claiming her right now in the chair she just sat in. But I decided to wait for her, press her to do something will make her hate me more than she already does.

Sitting behind the desk, I feel too far away from her, so I decide to get up and join her in front of her chair. I pull up the sleeves of my shirt and I sit on the desk. As much as she tries to not let it notice, you can see from a mile away that she is fascinated by my every move, not that I do it on purpose. But I need to be close to her.

I can't help but notice her crossed legs, too tight. I know exactly what you're trying to hide from me, Grace.

"Grace, listen to me very carefully now." Suddenly she turns her head towards me, there was something in her grey eyes.

"What's your name?"

"I will tell you later"

"I'm not going to talk to someone whose name I don't know." This little wolf, until an hour ago did not even have the courage to hold my gaze, now she talks back.

She has his own style, I like it

"Noah, alpha of bloody runner pack"

Grace's POV

"Noah, alpha of bloody runner pack"

I know the fame of this pack, everyone knows it.

"Grace, you don't have to be afraid of me"

It shouldn't surprise me their reputation, even John's pack was pretty feared, but it wasn't as cruel and merciless as Noah's. I had heard of it in the past and had always been frightened. But now, strangely, this is no longer the case.

Noah remains seated on the desk, one leg dangling and the other resting firmly on the ground. He puts a hand on his thigh, and he leans slightly towards me.

"If you don't stop looking at me this way, I'm afraid this conversation will end differently than I planned.

I look away from his thigh which I didn't realize I was staring at so intensely, I meet his gaze, his already dark eyes now seem even darker, I lower my gaze mortified

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean"

"You must never ever apologize for this. I'm yours to watch." with his warm hand, he gently grabs my chin and lifts it

"I'm just afraid that my self-control may fail, and I need to talk to you first"

"What is it about?" Noah removes his hand from my chin and slowly sits in the chair next to mine.

"The borders are guarded by enemies, they do not allow us to move. Soon we will be under attack" This was not news either, everyone knows that the lands of the bloody runners are the most coveted, for their strategic position and also for the precious resources.

"You have nothing to fear, I will have you escorted as soon as possible to a safer place."

"Don't you want me to fight by your side?" it is well known that the alpha always fights side by side with his Luna, they draw strength from each other.

"I would never put your life in danger willingly." He rests his warm right hand on my cold bare thigh. The contrast of temperatures makes me thrill. With this weather, I shouldn't have put on a skirt, but whoever packed my stuff, didn't bring much for me to wear.

"I was born for this. I was a beta before I know how these things work" Noah gets up irritated, the lack of his hand makes my wolf wail.

"Grace you told me you hated me, you don't want to be here and I know for certain that at the slightest opportunity you will try to sneak away"

This was a low blow, although in the last few hours I have thought of nothing but escaping, at that moment my offer was sincere. I really wanted to help without running away.

"I understand perfectly why you don't want to trust me" I get up and reach him in front his big window. His back faces me,I gently place my hand on his right bicep and he suddenly turns surprised and breathless

"My intentions are sincere, I want to help" I know very well that mate males are too protective, if Noah already decides to lock me up somewhere, in the future he might even decide to not let me leave even the house. This will get worse and worse.

He cups my hand with his, his control begins to falter. I am one step away from my goal. At home I was brought up to charm powerful men to do whatever I wanted. I never felt remorse, it was gratifying to see how they fell into the deception of a young she-wolf. Yet using these tricks with Noah made my conscience dirty, it wasn't fair. No, I can't do this to him.

As if his skin were burning, I let my hand drop. I meet his gaze, there is confusion in his eyes. Just like me, in these days he is torn between his way of being and the bond that brings us closer and closer.

"Grace" he whispers my name without the strength to say it louder, as if it could burn his tongue.

"Noah, I understand if you..." the moment his name left my lips, his eyes widened

With a quick movement, Noah pushes me against the coldness of the wall, his nose a few inches from mine. He sniffs me deeply, while my heart rate goes crazy. All that can be heard in the room is my heart beating wildly and his breathing that becomes irregular. With his nose he softly tilts my chin up. Immediately he buries his nose into my neck, his warm breath electrifies every part of skin it grazes. His smooth black hair tickles my cheek I instinctively grab them with my hand. He growls loudly and grasps my delicate skin with his teeth.

He grabs my hips and holds me closer to him. His hands on my body is completely a new feeling. I could see sparks fly.

I had some experience with men, but never knew my man's hands could be so exciting yet so loving.

I can only see him, there was none.

Then he starts licking the spot he has slightly bitten. His wet tounge is even hotter and more sensual than his hands. I couldn't help but to get wet, feeling a fire down there in my panties. I don't know what to do, I can't even try to hide it from him. I parted my lips and a moan escaped

His licking stops and I shiver.

"Go back to your room" he orders me in his alpha voice and goes back to his desk.

I'm still leaning against the wall, still in disbelief.

He sits on his chair and grins, a lonely dimple lights up his face.

He likes messing me.

I feel my blood boils,he seduced me and even used his alpha voice with me

Enraged, I leave his office slamming his door

Two can play the game, Noah
