Alpha of the Dead

Chapter 19

(Tiernan’s P.O.V)

“Why can’t you keep your f*****g mouth shut Lily? What do you have against Siobhan that you have to make situations worse? First you shame her and blame her for her s****l assault and then now you are coming at her with this bullshit?!” Stella yells.

“She’s being a f*****g child! She needs to get over it.” Lily shouts back, crossing her arms over her chest.

“It doesn’t matter what YOU think! This stuff has obviously affected her so badly that she felt that she couldn’t come to her own f*****g family about what happened to her.” Shelly sobs out.

“Did your time in the dungeons teach you nothing?” Brian asked her, incredulously.

Lily rolled her eyes at her family as she got up out of her chair and walked down the stairs and out of the packhouse.

“What is wrong with that girl?” Derrick whispered, shaking his head.

“I’d be happy to put her back in the dungeons until she learns her lesson.” I say, shrugging.

“Why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be comforting your mate?” Patrick hisses.

“Oh f**k!” I yell, before running to our bedroom.

Great f*****g mate you are.

Hey! You didn’t say anything to me!

Why should I? You should have gone after our mate as soon as she turned to leave.

I roll my eyes at him as I make my way into the bedroom, seeing Siobhan sitting cross-legged on the bed with her phone in her hand.

“I just don’t understand where the animosity came from with Lily. We were never close growing up, but Goddess f**k, Jeremy, I didn’t think it was this bad!” She says to this Jeremy person.

Who’s Jeremy?! Why is she talking to Jeremy!?

“Have you thought about ASKING Lily why there’s so much animosity? You aren’t psychic and neither is she. We’ve discussed being transparent with the people in your life and setting boundaries with them as well. You can’t expect someone to be transparent with you if you aren’t transparent with them,” Jeremy states.

Siobhan finally notices that I’ve entered the room and her eyes go wide with surprise, her heart rate speeding up.

“Sorry Jeremy, gotta go.” She says quickly before hanging up.

“So…who’s Jeremy?” I ask, as nonchalantly as possible.

“If you must know, he’s my therapist.” She says with a sniff.

“Oh.”

I wasn’t expecting that answer.

“Yeah, oh!” You need to calm your t**s when it comes to other males, dude, I work with other men and my therapist happens to be a man.”

“Is he a shifter?”

“If you must know, yes, he is.”

“What kind of shifter?”

If he was a tiger shifter, I could steal her phone to call him and find where this Wyatt douche kabob is.

“I’m not going to tell you because I see the look on your face and it tells me all I need to know about what you would do with the information if I told you.” She states.

Busted.

“I have no idea what you are talking about. So, therapy huh?” I ask, changing the subject as smoothly as I could.

“Yeah, nice try dude.” She snorts.

“Why are you calling me dude? We’re mates, call me something else, kitten.” I pout like a f*****g three-year-old.

Siobhan smirks, a wicked glint in her eyes and I knew I had just dug myself into a hole that she was going to bury me in.

“Oh? You don’t like me calling you dude? You want me to call you something else? Hmm. How about Alpha Caveman? Princess? Baby girl?’ She giggles.

“Never mind,” I say with a huff before throwing myself down onto the bed and pouting again.

Siobhan crawls over to me and pecks my pouting lip, making me smile. I grab her by her waist and put her in my lap, kissing her full on the mouth. I deepen the kiss, wanting to explore her mouth, taste every inch of her when my intra-realm cellphone starts to ring. I sigh, leaning my forehead against Siobhan’s as I look at the caller ID.

“Alpha King Rian, what can I do for you?” I ask, answering the phone.

Siobhan starts nipping and sucking on my marking spot, making my c**k hard and making it difficult for me to concentrate on the phone call.

“Preston is ready to return to the Human Realm. Will someone be at your portal to escort him?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Give me five minutes, then you can send him through. Thank you, once again, for allowing him entry into Màni and onto your pack lands.” I say before hanging up.

“Preston?” Si asks in a whisper, making sure her breath brushes across my marking spot.

“Yeah.” I say, breathlessly.

Drake, Preston is coming back from Màni. Please meet him at the portal.

Yes, Alpha.

I close my link as Siobhan bites down on my marking spot, making me moan and rock my hips against her.

“What are you doing kitten?” I murmur.

“Oh…nothing.” She says against my neck, rocking her hips against mine.

“If you want to f**k, just say so.” I laugh.

“I want you to f**k me.” She says as she pulls her face from my neck, looking me straight in the eye.

Ask her now! This is the perfect opportunity.

“Kitten, I need to talk to you about something first,” I say with a groan, grabbing her hips to keep them still.

I couldn’t have this conversation with her rocking her hips against me, making my c**k beg to be inside her.

“Well, make it quick. I want your d**k in me.”

I groan louder, “You’re killing me. How much do you know about b**m and Dom/Sub dynamics?”

“Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada.”

I take a deep breath and begin my explanation to Siobhan about what a healthy dynamic is between a Dom and their Sub, and about the different types of Subs, Doms, and dynamics. A few of my explanations made her squeeze her thighs together, particularly when I was discussing Primal Doms/Prey and when I was discussing Sadist Doms.

“Okay, that all makes sense to me. So now I need to know, since you brought this up, what kind of Dom are you?”

“I’m a Primal Dom, a Hunter, I enjoy the chase. For me, it’s about exploring the basest part of who we are as a species. Acting on my urges and impulses, letting go of being civilized and following what my instincts tell me. I enjoy the fight to gain control and the fight to gain dominance over my prey. If you ran from me right now, being as turned on as we are, I will give over to my instinct and chase you. You will be my prey and I will hunt you down and take you wherever we are. I won’t care who can see or hear, I will take you wherever I catch you.” I answer.

Siobhan’s eyes darken with lust, and her arousal begins to fill the room.

Mm, little mate is turned on and so is Tala.

I almost missed the glint in her eye, before she jumps off the bed and darts out of the bedroom running from me.

Oh, kitten, you can run but you can’t hide. I mind link her, giving her a decent head start before I begin my hunt.
