Resilience

Ch 3. Mate

"Hey sexy. You are one of the finest asses I ever seen" a greasy looking male said as he slide his hands down my waist to my ass. I grabbed his hand, twisted it and shoved him off.

"Don't ever touch me again." I said in a controlled voice. He looked more turned on by my dominance and strength. He took another step towards me, reeking of desire. I felt my wolf clawing to get out again, but before I could put this asshole in his place, I felt the room get quiet when the doors opened. Everyone turned and was looking at whoever had just walked in, but I couldn't focus. My nose was filled with the most incredible scent and my mind felt dizzy.

Mate. My wolf purred inside me. I felt drawn and in a daze. My legs started walking towards the smell before I could even comprehend what was happening. As I squeezed past the crowd, trying to get towards the incredible smell I could overhear some of the wolves talking.

"What is he doing here?" "Oh my God he is so sexy!" "Should we be worried?" "The Ares Pack hasn't attended the Ball in decades." "I heard Alpha Cayden is on the verge of going feral without a mate."

Ares Pack. Alpha Cayden. Everyone knew these names. Like the God of War, the Ares Pack lived up to their name. They were known for being cruel, blood thirsty and conquering any Pack that crossed them or didn't give them anything they wanted. Cayden was technically still the son of the Alpha. He should have been named Alpha by now at the age of 23, but his father was a evil man and refused to pass on the crown until Cayden had mated.

As one of the strongest and most powerful packs in the world, women would throw themselves at members of the Ares Pack. Cayden was known as a complete manwhore and used woman like disposable napkins, but he had never mated. Apparently his father would not accept any mate except his true mate, as she would give Cayden the greatest power through their true mate bond.

It was unusual as an Alpha heir to not have found his mate at his age, and it made him even more angry and frustrated. It was rumored he invaded Packs, killing those who didn't willingly grant him access as he hunted for his mate. I couldn't see Cayden or the other wolves from the Ares Pack, but I felt the wolves in front of me parting like the sea as they seemed to be walking my way. My feet were immobile as the dizzy haze grew stronger and stronger until there was no one separating me from the Ares Pack.

"Move b***h!" an angry she-wolf that was as beautiful and as menacing as a puma yelled as she rushed towards me to hit me. I couldn't even focus on defending myself, I was solely focused on the glorious God that stood before me in the middle of the Ares Pack. He was at least 6'7 towering over everyone in the hall. His body scream s*x, power, aggression and strength. He was the most stunning man I had ever seen. Dark brown hair, tanned skin, a jawline that could cut soft butter and the most inviting lips.

Mate. Mate. Mate. My wolf screamed inside me, yelping to break free.

"Stop." He commanded with the most attractive voice I ever heard. It oozed authority and made my panties wet. The she-wolf who was steps away from clawing my throat out was instantly frozen in shock as she looked between me and Cayden. "Mate." He growled with his eyes dark with lust. My heart was beating so fast, I thought it might bounce out of my chest.

I kept my eyes locked on his as he strutted over to me, not noticing anyone else except the glorious man in front of me. My body heated with desire, burning with the need to have his hands and mouth all over me. I fluttered with anticipation and bit my lips. He glared at my lips so intensely I felt like I couldn't function, breathe or live until I felt him.

"Mine." He gritted through his teeth as he approached me.

"Yours." I stated without hesitation.

I hadn't notice the she-wolf bowing to the side with a shocked face or everyone else staring us as he reached me. All I could see was him. He wrapped his large hand around my waist and pulled my body flush against him. Sparks and lightening zapped throughout my body from his touch. Every ounce of my body, heart and soul wanted him, needed him.

His other hand found the nape of my neck and he slammed his lips against mine. My mouth immediately responded to his fiery passion. I let out a gasp as his hand on my back found its way to the slit of my dress, sliding it under and grabbing my bare ass. He took my open mouth as an opportunity to invade my mouth with his tongue. I let him take control as my legs wrapped around him, grinding my core on his bulging crotch.

I had to pull away to take a much needed breathe. His face immediately pressed into the nape of my neck, sniffing me. He pulled back and his piercing green eyes looked into my soul.

"I've been searching for you" he breathed out. His voice only intoxicated me further. I pressed my nose into his neck and took my own sniff. He smelt of gasoline, the forest after rainfall and maple syrup. It was the most delicious smell I had ever smelt. I pulled back to look back into his eyes, into the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen.

"Cayden of Ares Pack." He stated.

"Aella of Jacarda Pack." I responded.

"I need to mark you now." It wasn't a question. His eyes flickered between green and black. A sign his wolf was pounding to get free. I wanted nothing more than to bare his mark, but I need to tell him I was a latent Omega. My wolf screamed at me to just let him mark him. But I couldn't do that. He needs to know.

"No. We need to talk first." I whispered as I slowly climbed off him against the wishes of my wolf, and apparently his. His grip tightened around my waist and neck as he pulled me closer.

"No one says no to me. You're mine and you will do as I say" He commanded. And without hesitation, his canines came out, and he bite the junction where my neck met my shoulder. Pain and pleasure ripped through my body filling my head with erotic images. I couldn't stop a moan escaping my mouth.

For the first time in my life that I could remember, my wolf didn't mind someone commanding us. She was too happy and drunk on the idea of completing the mating bond through s*x at the moment. I too could not think of anything else than letting him do whatever he wanted with me.
