Nathans POV
I'm reading the alliance's contract through when I feel Lea trying to mind link me, I let her through.
'I'm gonna be late for training.' She says nervous. 'Why?" I roll my eyes, if she thinks I will let her decide when to attend training and not, she's gonna be sorry.
'Have a visitor, I will be there in a couple of hours.' That sounded like an order, she haves some nerves. 'What visitor? Lea, don't you dare disobey me aga... 'She cuts me off, what the hell? And who's this visitor of hers? I'm going to strangle her when she shows up for training.
'Relax, Nathan.' Jeremiah sighs. 'No I won't, Jer. She keeps disobeying me and trying to charm me into not hurting her, but I'm done. I will make her work for it when she's fighting against me.' I growl back at him.
'If you say so.' He shrugs, making me roll my eyes. 'I do, I do say so. She will not be able to sneak around my punis..' An agonizing pain runs through my chest, making it hard for me to stand. I clutch my hands to my chest and then the pain is suddenly gone.
'What the hell was that?!' Jeremiah howls in pain. 'I have no idea!' I take a deep breath, worried the pain might come back, but it doesn't. I take my bag with my training clothes and head over to the training center.
It's located a few miles from the packhouse. It's like a community center, all the young warriors and those in school hang out there. I walk out the packhouse and run to the center. There's training everyday at 9 am for my warriors and again in the afternoon when the school closes. I want everyone in my pack to learn how to fight. Damon is usually the one in charge of the training. I'm normally in my office, sorting through different contracts and stuff. That's what I hate most about being the King, all the damn paperwork.
I slow down my pace when I reach the center. A lot of my warriors were standing outside the center, talking and laughing. They all stop when they see me. They look down on the ground, expecting me to be mad. That's their image of me, The Ripper. I nod and smile to the ones I walk by, and they look shocked at my behavior. Damon is standing up the wall next to the front door. He nods and smiles at me with a goofy smile.
"What's so funny?" I ask him with a smirk. He keeps giving me the goofy smile.
"Nothing Alpha, I just think the guys is worried you might had a stroke." I turn to him with confusion. He laughs.
"I didn't have a stroke! I'm trying to be polite." I growl at him. He keeps laughing.
"Sorry Alpha, but that smile of yours is creeping them out. I can give you a few pointers on how to smile." He laughs.
"Shut up, Damon. Now get the training started!" I snort, he's incorrigible. He walks away still laughing his ass off.
"Come on guys, lets get started. Don't mind the Alpha, he's just trying to charm you all." He shouts throughout the center. Everyone looking at me, some even laughs. I shake my head and laughs too. Damon walks over to me again.
"Sorry, couldn't help myself. Where's Lea?" I growl at his question.
"She's having a visitor, says she will be a few hours late." I reply, he looks at me and sighs.
"I'm sorry, Nathan. Do you think it's Alpha Blade? Or is it not a sexy visit?" I sigh too. I have no idea, but the thought of her being with another man makes my inside boil with rage.
"I have no idea." I pin my nose with my fingers, closing my eyes. The warriors line up in front of us and Damon starts to pair them off. They go to the mat and starts training. The training goes on for a couple of hours and at noon I call it a day. I haven't seen or heard from Lea, so I decide to go look for her.
I reach her door and try to knock, but she doesn't answer. I turn the door handle and opens it. Her room smells amazing. Her bed is messy and her clothes is everywhere. She's a mess. I go to the bathroom and find it locked. I knock on the door but still no answer. I take a deep breath, I smell blood and a lots of it. I kick down the door to the bathroom and find her naked on the floor next to the bathtub. Her heart has been ripped out of her chest and there's only a big hole left.
"Oh my god, Lea!" I rush to her side, taking her up in my arms. The floor is covered in blood. I take her to the bed, laying her down. I lay next to her, spooning her lifeless body. I kiss her cheek and wait for her to heal.
I mind link Damon.
Found Lea, she had another crossover. Cancel my meeting this afternoon, please.
Yes, Alpha. Is she okay?
She will be.
I cut the link and look at her. I can hear the cells in her body healing, every muscle and tendon. I will never get used to this. It must be horrible for her.
'You felt it too.' Jer tells me. 'But that makes no sense? Why would I feel her pain when she's not my mate and I haven't marked her.' I respond. 'Yet.' Oh he's a pain in my ass. 'You are very certain she's our mate, huh?' I growl.
'Yep.' Is that all he has to say? 'Care to tell me why?' I ask annoyed. 'No.' He shrugs. 'Fine, go away then, you dumb wolf.'
I cut him off before he can make a nasty comment. Suddenly, her body heats up and I can hear the last muscles connecting to each other.
A loud gasp came from her lips and she flies out of the bed. Her body is shaking and her eyes is full of panic. She looks around the room with her hand clutched to her chest. She finally sees me, and her body relaxes. I get out of the bed and walk over to her.
"You are okay, you are safe." I tell her with a slow voice, making sure she understands them. She nods and I take her face in my hands. The sparks is overwhelming, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. I keep holding her face, I'm afraid of letting her go. The tingling feeling her touch provides, makes it hard for me not to kiss her.
I pull her closer to my chest, feeling her naked body against mine. I look down her body and my hands run down her neck to her n****e. It turns hard under my touch, and a moan slips through her lips. I can feel Jeremiah fighting to take over but I can't let him. He will mark her on the spot and she's not ours, not yet.
"Do you like what you see?" She whispers, and I realize I'm staring at her n*****s. I look into her eyes and they are black, her wolf is about to take over too. I can't do this. I take a step back and see the disappointment in her eyes. I turn around and walk out of her room.
'What the hell are you doing, Nathan?!' Jeremiah snarls in my head. He wants me to go back, take her where she stands. 'I'm sorry, Jer, I can't do it, not yet." I tell him. He growls in the back of my mind. I walk to my office and slams the door shut. Damon walks in a couple of minutes later.
"Your meeting has been moved to tomorrow. How is Lea?" He asks me with a curious smile, looking up and down my body. I look down at my body, I see blood and a large bulge in my shorts. He gives me a smirk.
"She's fine. Don't say a word, Damon. I'm not in the mood." I growl at him. He gives me a goofy smile and a nod.
"Not gonna say a word." He runs his finger over his lips and pretends to lock them with a key. Childish man. I look down at the bulge again, I was painfully hard.
"She wouldn't f**k you?" He holds back a laugh, looking at my depressed face. I throw a stapler after him which he avoids with ease.
"Oh she wanted too, believe me, I could smell her lust. But I can't mate with her, Damon. You know that. My father would kill me and her if I do." He nods, giving me a small smile. He knows that in my position I need the right mate and she's not. Though it breaks my heart, knowing I will never be able to mark her as mine.
