The Delta's Cursed Mate

Revelations

Leon’s POV

I was not expecting my mate to be such a little vixen. She was always so shy. When she let me watch as she played with herself was the sexiest damn thing I had ever seen in my life. I could see exactly how tight she was as she f****d herself with her fingers, her walls wanted to keep them exactly where they were. s**t, she would feel so good tightly wrapped around my c**k.

That f*****g banging on the door pissed me off, though. I knew that Delilah had soundproofed each of our rooms. It wasn’t like we were being particularly loud. Reina was really quiet despite not being able to hear her own moans. I threw the blanket over her, no one could lay eyes on that body except me. I cracked the door open, standing behind it to hide my erection.

“What the f**k?” I growled.

“I would like to speak to my daughter.” Richard sounded upset. I knew he could smell our arousal. No one would really be happy about smelling their daughter’s arousal.

“Oh, uhm… can you give us a minute?” I wasn’t one to be embarrassed but standing in front my mate’s father with a raging hard on, the sweet smell of her arousal in the air would be the one thing that made it happen.

I felt Reina’s confusion through the bond, and I told her who it was. The confusion shifted to pure mortification as she realized that she was still on the bed naked, covered in a thin layer of sweat and my c*m in her p***y as her dad stood outside the door. I heard her jump up and run back to the bathroom. I closed the door to help Reina, and tried to get my d**k to turn off, but walking in on my mate with her glorious ass on display did the exact opposite. I growled deep in my chest as Kane sent pictures of her bent in that exact position as he pounded into her.

Fuck, Kane! Stop. You aren’t the one who has to deal with the hard on.

Take a cold shower. He snickered.

Fucking wolf. I grabbed a shirt from the bathroom closet and put it over Reina and found a pair of shorts that were way too big. I got dressed in a pair of sweats and hoodie, thankfully it was just long enough to cover the tent in my sweats.

We walked out of the room, and down to the meeting room that was supposed to be Delilah’s office, but Deacon hated being far from her for anything longer than an hour. I used to call him p***y whipped, but now I could understand. Once a wolf gets a taste of their mate, it’s better than food, or air. I could live with my face between her legs and die a happy man.

As I looked around the room my reality set in. I was about to talk to my mate’s parents with a fuckin hard on. Reina giggled before she pulled me to a couch and sat on my lap. I wrapped my arms tightly around her and kissed her neck. As much as I wanted to leave marks all over her skin, I would have to hold back.

Not in front of my parents. She giggled in my mind.

I loved that I could mind link with her again. It was nice knowing how to sign, but I wasn’t perfect, and I went slow most of the time just to make sure I had the word I wanted right. Unlike her parents who had been signing for years. Rowan would sign some things, but especially when he purposely wanted to leave Reina out of the conversation, he would stop. He was a big brother and probably did it to piss her off.

“Reina, my sweet girl.” Christina already had a steady flow of tears down her face. If she wasn’t signing, I’m not sure anyone would be able to understand a word she said.

Reina gave a soft smile, “I’m fine, Mom.”

Rowan huffed but didn’t say a word. He was an Alpha, but he respected parents. I looked over at him, his eyes were a deep brown, his wolf at the forefront and pissed the f**k off. Delilah and Deacon came in, also not happy. For the first time ever, Delilah refused to sit in Deacon’s lap which further pissed him off, but his wolf had to submit to the True Alpha. She was the Alpha of all Alpha’s. No one could disobey her command. James didn’t feel it as strongly as the rest of us, but he still obeyed the command. He also didn’t fight it. Whatever Delilah said was gospel and that’s the beauty of wolf hierarchy.

“What’s going on?” Reina looked around the room.

Delilah looked at me. She knew some sign language, but Reina was one of the very few deaf wolves around us.

“She wants to know what’s going on.” I signed as I spoke.

“Christina and Richard have something they would like to share with the class.” Deacon growled. “Something that should have been mentioned before all this s**t started.”

I looked to Reina’s parents. Christina’s sobs were taking over her body as she buried her face in her mate’s shoulder and Richard looked pale. Sickly pale.

“When Rowan was a pup… he was sick. Really sick.” Richard started his eyes flicking between his two children.

Reina stiffened. She knew this story.

“He had a high fever and couldn’t keep down anything. He lost weight, and since he didn’t have a wolf, there wasn’t much we could do except watch our son die. We had heard of Dylan at the Red Rock pack, but something about him never felt right so I didn’t want to call him. I heard about a warlock who was helping wolves, so I found him. He did help and didn’t ask for money. When the time came he asked just to come back to Iris, and we couldn’t ask questions.”

Rowan growled deeply in his chest. “You just accepted that a f*****g warlock would help a wolf and expect nothing? Are you stupid?!”

“I did what was best for my pup!” Richard yelled back.

“What about my sister?! Was this best for her? Couldn’t lose your precious heir.” Rowan jumped out of his chair. “She spent two years with someone else’s wolf. A f*****g feral wolf. Her mate rejected her because of you!”

I had been translating for Reina, who was getting more and more angry. She felt hurt and betrayed, betrayed that her parents were the ones who had done this to her. Hurt that she was again reminded that I rejected her. I wrapped my arms tighter around her and kissed her neck.

I’m not going anywhere, baby. I’m right here, and it’s you and me forever. I tried to calm her down, but she only stiffened further.

If they hadn’t done this, then I wouldn’t have hurt you. We would have known about each other 2 years ago. I missed two years with you, because of them. They were supposed to protect me, and they did the worst thing to me.

I couldn’t respond, because the truth was, she was right. Partially. They didn’t know that the warlock would come and take her wolf for Goddess knows why. They also had to pick between two children. One that was very sick, and one that was nonexistent. When Reina was born Rowan was perfectly healthy and happy to be a big brother.

Reina’s hands flew faster than I could keep up, I got a few sentences: “Don’t talk to me” “How could you?” and the last was “I hope you choke on your guilt”. She stomped out of the room leaving us. I wanted to follow but Kane was growling. He was pissed that someone had hurt his mate. He was out for blood, he wanted to kill whoever the warlock was, but we didn’t know so he would settle for her parents.

“You hurt my mate. I don’t care if it was 20 years ago, it hurt her last week.” I growled.

Delilah growled, “Kane, shut up.”

I looked back at my Alpha incredulously, but my mouth was sealed shut.

“You aren’t a parent, so you don’t understand.” Delilah said softly. “If I had to pick right now between my kids that are asleep in their crib, or some kid that we might possibly have in the future, I’d do whatever I could for my babies. No question.”

Deacon inched towards her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Baby..”

“No, I’m not saying that they shouldn’t have told anyone, I’m just saying I understand.”

Rowan was still sat snarling in his chair, but the weight of Athena’s aura was too powerful. I was completely confused. The mate bond made me angry for Reina, I wanted to strangle her parents. They made her feel so left out, so alone. They could have told her or gone to the warlock and begged him to fix it. Given themselves up, instead of their possible child. My rational side made me realize they were stuck between a rock and a hard place. It’s not like the warlock came out and said, ‘hey in 22 years I’m going to come back cut your daughter’s back and swap her wolf’s soul with an older more feral wolf, and she’s going to run away, meet her mate get rejected and then find everything out later.’

I looked at how heartbroken Christina was. I don’t even think they realized what happened until the Phoenix came. I mean 30 years, two happy children, a thriving pack. Who really would think the absolute worst?

“I… I understand.” I muttered.

Rowan’s eyes snapped to me. He was seething. It made me oddly happy that someone was that protective of my mate other than me and my wolf, but it pissed me off that he could blame his parents so easily and not even think about how they feel. If my parents had done what they did, I would be angry yes, but I was their only child. They almost lost me and couldn’t go through the possibility of that again, so they didn’t have any more pups. Rowan was made to be a big brother. I was good as an only child. My parents loved me and even at 25, I was still incredibly spoiled. Like my car for instance. It was actually a gift from my parents, for my birthday. This year I wasn’t supposed to know, but they were sending me and Reina on a vacation.

Christina stopped sobbing long enough to stare at me.

“I don’t like it; in fact, my wolf is itching to tear your throats out. But I understand. You didn’t know that Markus would come and steal your daughter’s wolf. I can’t blame you for doing everything you can to save your son. You could have at least warned someone about it. Anyone. You knew my parents and how much they are willing to help a fellow wolf.” I growled the last part.

Richard growled lowly. Admitting to another man that he had failed, was difficult for a man. Harder still for an Alpha. We were supposed to be the strongest in the pack, the leader. If we failed, our pack failed. I couldn’t imagine how it felt as a man. A father. When I had pups, I would give everything to save them, including myself or my title. If it meant they were healthy. I really couldn’t judge them because I would do it too.

“We need to know everything about what he did. Everything.” Delilah commanded.

Sadly, they didn’t know much. He cast a spell; the next day Rowan was healthy. Two years later they had Reina. They assumed the warlock would come eventually, but how could anyone really assume that he would do that. They didn’t even know he had come. It was some boy that Reina had gone to school with. He was fascinated with Reina, but she didn’t show interest in any males. Kane puffed our chest. She showed plenty of interest in us earlier in the bedroom.

Are you still talking to them? My mate’s voice was like the most soothing balm for any anger I could have felt.

I’ll be there in just a bit, babe. I stood and excused myself from the room.

I wanted to know everything, but nothing came before my mate. As I entered the room, I heard low growls and snarls, but everything in the bond screamed hurt. Not a drop of anger seeped from my Ginger. She sat on the bed curled into a ball, facing the large window. Her shoulders shook. I moved to sit behind her on the bed, my arms automatically wrapped around her waist and pulled he into my chest.

We didn’t speak while I let her cry. She was never angry at who ever had done this, just hurt that someone would. Now she knew it was her parents’ fault, and that hurt her further. Then realized that they only did it to save her older brother, who once was her favorite person. Guilt flooded her for being selfish. Around and around, she went. I kept my arms around her kissing and nuzzling into her neck. Kane was linking with Emerald, trying to calm her down.

I carried Reina down to the backyard. Blue Moon had a huge forest surrounding the territory, perfect for wolfs to hunt and play. I stripped and shifted. Kane huge head nudged her shoulder, a small smile on her face. Kane nipped at the hem of her shirt, gentle yips and barks encouraged her. He pranced around her and showed his submissive side when he laid on his belly. She sat on the ground, and he put his head in her lap. She pet his head, the giant puppy actually tried to purr. Like we were a f*****g cat or something.

After ten minutes of chin scratches and him making weird purring sounds, she finally shifted. Kane growled deep in his chest at seeing his mate, and this time it was his real mate. As most females do, she swished her tail under his nose before walking away. I don’t know what it was about Kane, but he wasn’t like most dominate male wolves. Most of the time males loved a chase, not my wolf. He sat on his haunches and just watched as she walked away.

Dude, what the hell? Go get her! I growled at him.

Shut it, human. I know what I’m doing. He laid down and just watched where Emerald had walked to.

I rolled my eyes but waited. Impatiently. I wanted to be with my mate. I had missed so much time with her. She was there physically, but emotionally we were strangers. Not that we really touched either. Kane huffed at my impatience. That’s why we matched so well. He was calm, I was… less calm. I wanted control to go find Reina. I was the possessive and dominate one in the relationship between Kane and me. I didn’t want anyone to be near her or look at her without me there. Especially when she was in such a fragile state.

Mate is stronger than you think, shut up and let her be. Kane was annoyed.

We’re in an unfamiliar territory. With a warlock on her ass. You really want her left alone?

Alpha wouldn’t let anything happen to Pretty One. We are her Delta; we are her pack. Shut up and wait. Kane blocked me from him. A first.

We had spent many years with each other. Hard not to when he was the only reason I was alive. Without him, I wouldn’t have bonded with James and Axel, or their wolves and given up. James especially helped with controlling Kane. Well, his wolf did. When Kane first emerged, he was less than amicable. Pissed that he was awake so early, and even more angry about the fact that we had to shift so many times before my bones were ready for that. We grew a lot faster than normal wolves. James hit his full height just weeks after his wolf emerged, I just stopped growing last year.

I let my mind wander, not like I had another choice. Between the past, present and future, I couldn’t imagine my life any different. All paths led to my Ginger, and she was everything I could have asked for. We had our difficulties, but it would only make us stronger. At least I hoped.

Reina came out, with a random shirt on, it hung down to her knees and showed off those beautiful milky legs. Kane growled. He didn’t like that she was wearing a male’s shirt. He sniffed it and huffed. His claw cut the shirt down the front. Her hands flew to cover herself.

Kane! Why would you do that?!

If you are going to wear a male’s shirt it will be mine.

I rolled my eyes; guess he was just as possessive as I was. At least my mate wouldn’t smell like some other male.

It’s Deacon’s shirt, you moron. Kane grunted, I’m not getting punished for my mate smelling like Alpha’s male.

Give me my body back, fleabag.

Reina watched us as we fought, and I guess we looked funny because she giggled. Kane licked the side of her face, before we shifted back. I picked her up and carried her back to my clothes and pulled my shirt over her body. I knew Reina would be hungry after a shift, she always was, so I took her into the kitchen. Delilah had a thing with snacking. Deacon called it a problem, but after eighteen years of eating the bare minimum and absolute garbage, I called it making up for lost time.

Reina was shocked at the amount of junk food stashed in the cabinets. I explained Delilah’s fetish with snack food. Especially after having the twins. Deacon had her on a very strict diet during the pregnancy, and she had hidden snacks all over the house so that she could have them.

That’s not fair, she carried his kids but couldn’t eat what she wanted? Reina snorted. She grabbed a bag of beef jerky, sweet candy and extra buttery popcorn.

I smiled, grabbing my own bag of chips and a water. Deacon won’t admit it, but he’s a health nut. Also twins for the first pregnancy, can’t be easy. Alex wasn’t small either.

Still when we have pups, if you control my diet, I’ll hang you by your balls. She smiled sweetly and walked away.

She wanted pups with me!
