The Alpha's scorned Witch

MY MATE IS A WITCH!!!

Ashton

Lucas and I were going over the plan on how to deal with the vampire king and if the witches would be most helpful on the battlefield or behind the scenes when the most amazing scent wafted through the room, making me lose track of all my senses. It smelled like pine trees and coco powder which was a weird combination but mouth watering nonetheless.

I knew what this was. I spinned around eagerly to see herb opening the door and in walked the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She looked straight out of a painting, like she wasn't real. She has the smoothest chocolaty skin I have ever seen, which made me want to taste her all over. Her eyes were two different colors, one a fiery red and the other an ocean blue.

They were captivating and holding my attention effortlessly. Her curly purple hair fell to her waist and was begging me to run my fingers through it. My eyes didn't miss how she was holding onto the arm of some man I couldn't be bothered to look at right now.

She felt me staring and turned her attention towards me, examining my face just as hard as I was examining hers. When our eyes met, my wolf howled with longing "MATE", we growled.

She stared at me in shock. Did she know what a mate was? She wasn't a wolf. I could sense that much. I walked up to her and grasped her in my arms, laying my face in the crook of her neck. She's so tiny I chuckled to myself. She just stood there confused for a minute, then gently placed her hands on my hips griping my shirt. I chuckled to myself again just inhaling her delicious sent

"Alpha Ashton" said Herb, a little unsure. I begrudgingly moved away from my beautiful mate to stare at herb I realized there was another man in here. He was as tall as me and had honey skin with grayish blue hair. He stared down at my mate with shock and amusement to my chagrin, but she didn't meet his eyes. She continued to stare at me warily.

I was suddenly super aware that we were not alone in the room and got a little embarrassed by my impulsive actions. I cleared my throat. "Yes Herb", I said. He looked at everyone in the room a little warily, which was weird for him he was usually so composed "I would like to introduce you to Alexi and Eric from the elemental coven.

My eyes widened, and I looked at the man who I presumed was Eric and my mate, Alexi. She gave me a small smile that would have made my heart melt if my heart wasn't already beating erratically. "You're the witch," I said in a low snarl. She backed away and hid slightly behind Eric, cowering a little at my tone.

"Yes you wanted our help for something", Eric said, stepping fully in front of my mate, obviously not liking my tone either. "Alpha" asked Lucas, "are you alright". I was beginning to feel faint. "I won't have a witch for a mate," I said, stalking out of the room, slamming the door behind me.

I jumped over the railing of the long flight of stairs an began running out the packhouse toward the forest, shifting into my wolf Klaus but keeping control. I ran until I reached a clearing in the middle of the forest and lay down to rest. 'I can't believe this' I told Klaus.

For seven f*cking years, I've been waiting for my mate and I finally found her, and she is the thing I despise most in the world, a witch of all beings this is un- f*cking -believable. Not only did they take away my parents, but now they're taking away my ability to ever find true love. I will never forgive them for that.

Ugh THAT B*TCH how dare she come in here and turn my life upside down, and she was holding the arm of another man. The thought made my wolf snarl in my head. 'Shut up, don't work yourself up over someone like that. I bet she's a wh*re anyway', I said to him. 'Don't you dare talk about mate that way. She's perfect', he yells in my head.

'You don't seriously want her, do you' I asked, feeling a little betrayed that my own wolf would choose to willingly love a witch. My wolf huffs in my head 'I told you not all witches are the same' he says, obviously annoyed. Over the years, my wolf has said this countless times.

He thinks it's wrong of me to condemn a whole species over what one coven did 'of course they are'. I say. He's being naive. They worship the same god and have the same principals and values. Therefore, they're all the same. I could feel my wolf roll his eyes 'all wolves worship the same moon goddess, and we're not all the same are we'. He asks 'well no but-' 'then why would they all be'. I don't have an answer that irks me 'you probably hurt mates feelings' he said sullenly.

I didn't want to think about the eyes that looked sad and glossy as I stormed out of the office, so I closed the link to my wolf and lay in silence. The only noise being that of birds and a distant water fall. I drift off and eventually found myself asleep and dreaming.

In my dream, Alexi and I are walking in the middle of town, star gazing and laughing. I took her away from the town and into my favorite part of the forest was a water fall leading into a lake pool. Next to the lake was a big flat rock perfect for having picnics. It was my favorite spot because the lake had heating stones, so no matter the weather, it was always warm.

"Want to join me," I asked teasingly. She gave me a nervous smile. She watched me undress until i was in nothing but my boxers. I'm not a strong swimmer, she said nervously. "It's okay I got you" I said taking her hand. I helped her undress until she was in her lace panties and matching bra.

My eyes trailed over her smooth, delicate, exposed skin. I led her into the water. She wrapped her arms tightly around my neck and legs around my waist, leaving a painful bulge in my boxers. "See, this is nice, isn't it," I asked in a husky tone. She blushed "yeah its pretty nice", she whispered looking down at my chest. One of my arms wrapped around her waist keeping her afloat while the other reached up to tilt her face up so she was looking at me.

"Eyes on me beautiful" I whispered. She blushed again. "Goddess what are you doing to me" I said, as I closed my eyes and rushed to push my lips against hers. The kiss was gentle at first but slowly got more dominating. My tongue darted out to lick her bottom lip begging for entrance, which she quickly gave me.

Our tongues engaged in a dance, slowly caressing each other until we were breathless. When we were out of breath, we slowly parted. I opened my eyes, horrified to find that it was no longer Alexi in my arms, but a familiar pale face with dark pink eyes stared back at me with a devious smile that quickly turned to horror. I'm sorry she whispered

I jolted awake confused by my surroundings until I remembered that I was in the forest. I looked up at the sky and realized the sun had already gone down. It was probably around dinner time. I also realized that as much as I wanted to avoid them, I had guests to tend to and a war to fight, so I begrudgingly made my way to the packhouse and shifted back into my human form, grabbing some clothes we kept by a tree in a basket just in case.

I walked inside and saw a few omegas setting the table for dinner with two extra plate settings and sighed. Herb appeared out of literally, no where scaring the absolute sh*t out of me. He was the only guy I knew that could actually sneak up on a wolf. "Sir, the guests are currently preparing for dinner", he looked me up and down. "Might I suggest you do the same?" He said, okay wow, I looked myself up and down. It's not like I was dressed homeless.

I had on a pair of dark blue jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt. It looked fine to me, but Herb's expression was making me second guess. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing," I asked. "Where to begin," Herb started, "nevermind I'll just go change" I said before he could go on a tangent and bruise, my ego which wouldn't be the first time he's done that.

"Before you go, sir, for the table placement would you like Luna Alexi to sit next to at the head of the table?" I paused. Klaus howled in delight at someone calling her our Luna. I, on the ther hand, had mixed feelings about it. 'Give mate a chance' he growled at me. I sighed 'I will'. I told him "have her placed to my right," I told Herb. He nodded, and I took the elevator up to my floor and walked to my room to get ready for possibly the most uncomfortable dinner I've ever had.
