Alpha Caleb and the Blessed Wolf

15.

CALEB

We arrived at White Crescent pack in the late evening. This place has been my home for these past seven years. It was the first pack I took over when I turned 18. My Father had sent me out on the quest for Obsidian Blood domination and also the start my search for the blessed wolf. In truth I was thankful as f**k to get away from him and that pack. Destruction and darkness were all I left.

I loathed who I had become and the fear everyone felt around me and my demonic wolf.

Even after claiming pack after pack White Crescent remained my new home. Somewhere far enough from my father and his political spies yet large enough to accommodate my warriors and business.

Immediately on our return I was bombarded with issues and demands needing attention. Nikita was taken to my bed and only a female doctor and two maids were allowed near her. They bathed, dressed and cared for her. All while my wolf clawed at my insides to go to her. After listening to my people's issues I was finally able to make my way to the office.

Owning a large tech company had its perks. Phone reception returned few hours back even through dense forestry but I dreaded looking at it knowing there would be a thousand emails and texts to reply to. Now as I was noting down of all the problems my pack members had thrown at me and scanning the emails my mind still wandered to the girl upstairs in my bed.

A long slender leg blocked my path around the desk.

"Paige?" My surprise quickly turned to a glare. "What are you doing in here." I demanded

Shocked by my tone she quickly lowered her leg and bowed her head.

"I..I...forgive me Alpha. I just wanted to welcome you home"

Honestly, I am no saint, in fact most would say I'm the complete opposite. So what if I have fooled around a little, ok maybe a lot. I am almost 25 and have been mateless until now. Paige was just one of the she-wolves desperate to please me, desperate to be dominated. It was only natural for she-wolves to seek out powerful males. I being an alpha couldn't deny her needs...or my own.

Her welcoming p***y would be the perfect distraction from the current mate situation.

The need and desperation to find Nikita after she escaped had rattled not only me but the raging beast inside. But I was back control now knowing she was locked away safe in my bedroom. Safe? Since when did I care about her f*****g safety. I wanted to reject, kill, torture or use her for my own pleasure not keep her safe.

My wolf growled in my head. The "big bad" mutt was betraying me for some fluffy red tail, pathetic. He wanted to barge through the room and lick her up and down from head to toe, then repeat it till she was begging for me to claim her. Shoving his desires down my gaze focused on the needy woman leaning seductively on the desk.

"Turn around and bend over" I commanded. My s****l frustration was next level I needed a release.

Practically purring she positioned herself face down on the desk arching her back slightly. Most of the women knew my deal. I'm not the relationship type. But Paige, being daughter of one of my father's councilmen just keeps on coming back for more. A glutten for punishment, thinking maybe she could be my chosen mate no matter how poorly I treated her. No chance in hell that was going to happen now that I've seen and held my actual mate.

Fuck there I go again thinking about her.

"Did you miss your Alpha?" forcing my mind back to reality.

"Mmhmm" my hand collided with her rear in a solid slap.

"Is that how you answer me?"

"Sorry sir."

"Good girl" rewarding her by grinding roughly against her backside. I slapped her ass cheek again.

"Did you miss your Alpha?" I repeated slowly.

"Yes sir" Her arousal tingled my nose. My jaw clenched. What once use to be mildly pleasing was now tangy and sour smelling. Nothing compared to the deliciousness of Nikita's. From that first faint scent that barely reached me across the gorge I wanted to bury my nose between her legs and inhale every subtle note up close. Taste her desire, lap it up like a dog lapping at cream.

My c**k strained against my zipper. Not for the woman in front of me but the forbidden one upstairs unconscious on my bed.

I growled fingers digging into Paige's hips imaging Nikita sprawled on my bed right this moment. Red hair making a flaming halo.

Every one of Paige's features was compared to Nikita. Her hair wasn't as shiny but an almost sickly bleached blond, skin overly tanned, she lacked the firm roundness of her ass cheek when my palm connected the spanks. In fact her whole body was a little too skinny for my liking anymore. Nikita's body was athletic with a plump little rear, I still hadnt seen her breasts yet but just imagining them made my c**k pulse. Shaking away the thoughts I continued grinding.

"Did you miss this?" Pulling her hair with one hand tilting her head back I unzipped my jeans and rubbed my hard length against her core. Pressing her chest deeper into the wood.

Flipping up her skirt and pushing her panties to the side I could see her glistening ready for me.

Fuck, I didn't want it, I didn't want her.

But I needed the distraction, needed to release all my pent up frustration and anger. My fingers played at her entrance coating her p***y in readiness for me.

"Yes sir"

"Good girl."

"Tell me what you missed" I stopped my movement, slipped on a condom from my desk drawer I never go without one. Poising at her entrance she groaned at the loss of friction.

"Your c**k sir, I want your c**k in my pussy."

My wolf was growling inside my head driving me nuts, screaming at me in disgust, to stop.

"Like this?" Grabbing her wrists behing her back in one hand the other reached around her throat tilting her head back before ramming my c**k deep to the hilt.

"Yes." she moaned wantonly. "f**k me hard, Caleb."

"Don't say my name. Try that again?"

"Please.... Please f**k me Alpha." Within the second of her finishing her sentence I withdrew almost all the way out and slammed back in. Closing my eyes I continued pumping. Images flashed into my mind. Images of soft white skin flushed pink from need and exertion, wild red hair, blue eyes looking at me with so much fire yet so innocent. My thrusts became rougher, fingers digging deep into flesh. Setting a punishing rhythm, f*****g her with wild need.

I growled. This doesn't feel f*****g right. Flipping her onto her back. Despite the different positions release wouldn't come. It just still didn't feel right. I could imagine Paige was Nikita all I liked but the truth was Nikita's body and scent was already imprinted on me. Paige's body was tense and shaking. I opened my eyes to see tears coming from hers. In frustration I pulled out. Sighing.

"Leave" I said coldly. I wanted her out of my sight.

Yep I'm a prick.

Turning away I walked over to the liquor shelf. I needed a strong drink.

The door suddenly opened again, I was about to growl at the new intruder to f**k off.

"Woah, just passed a very upset looking Paige" Hendrix commented.

Pouring myself a glass of whiskey. The Amber liquid slid down my throat with that satisfying burn as I remained silent.

Hendrix dropped onto one of the armchairs, ankles crossing on the coffee table. Pouring myself another I sat back on the office seat behind the desk, the desk I just uselessly used to f**k on. I wanted someone to come sterilize it, better yet burn the f*****g thing. I just wanted Paige's scent gone. Eyes closed pinching the bridge of my nose trying to ease my growing headache.

"You wanna tell me what's up or do I have to guess?"

I continued to ignore him.

"Have it your way. Let me think. Blue eyes, red hair, by the size of the bra in her room I'd say a pretty nice set of tits."

Growling before I could catch myself. Eyes snapping open, blazing flickering between mine and my wolf's.

"Don't you speak about her that way" I threw back the last mouthful. Standing abrupty and heading back to the liquor to regain some self control. Fists coiled tightly on the bar bench in anger. I couldn't even enjoy f*****g without HER invading my head. No one else can dare to look at her.

"HO-LY S H I T!!" He sounded out each syllable like he had an epiphany. "No way! No f*****g way!!"

"What?"

"She's your mate isn't she?" My body froze and my head snapped up.

"Damn it!" Not the reaction I was expecting. "Stupid Boyd. Now I owe that fucker a hundred bucks." He grumbled arms folded sulking like a kid.

"What the f**k? You two made a bet on me?" I replied.

"Dude, you were intolerable, moody, and obsessed for the past week. I just thought it was because you hate losing a prey. Plus all the stress of taking down the old man's greatest rival."

I almost laughed, as if that would stress me out. Taking over packs is easy but dealing with a little girl surprisingly is not.

He continued "I thought you wanted to claim the 'Blessed Wolf' as victory prize. On the way back here Boyd made a bet that she was your mate. I thought it was a sure bet because after all the s**t you told me about her I thought there was no way the moon goddess would be that messed up to make you two mates. Holy s**t is she really your mate? That's f****d up."

Yeah bro I was just as shocked, I thought

"Yeah f*****g fantastic! A mate that is the enemy. What the hell am I going to do?"

"Well since you already went all rabid wolf and marked and we have been waiting a long time, you could force her to submit and become your Luna."

"No. f**k no." I growled.

"Yeah true. That option I doubt she would appreciate. Also her wolf seems pretty badass she might just rip out your jugular in your sleep or worse your royal baby maker. Option two you try not forcing her and let her fall in love and become Luna by choice."

"What the f**k is with you obsession for a Luna."

"You two would be serious power couple goals." I think Hendrix has been hanging around too many she-wolves who the f**k says power couple goals. Rolling my eyes at him.

"There's only one problem with that, she is still the Blessed Wolf from the moon goddess and I'm supposed to kill her."

"Oooh the goddesses blessing blah blah blah." He said the last bit pretending to mimic what I'd told him the other day.

"You don't even know what her powers are, and she sure as hell doesn't know how to control them. Think about it, she was just a baby she didnt ask to be born. Wouldn't getting a weapon like that on our side help our cause. She's young, what teenage girl doesn't dream of finding their mate and if you really are hers then that's the leverage you need to get her on our side."

"You don't understand. It's so much more complicated than that." I replied sitting back down my hands running through my hair.

He stared at me arms crossed face full of judgement. f**k me he was not going to let this go. Exhaling deeply, leaning my elbows on the desk, head in my hands.

"My mother lost her mind rambling on and on about getting what we deserved. All I have wanted since I was 16 and found out was to kill the blessed wolf. I can't just flip that switch off and be all lovey and shit."

"How the hell am I going to kill or torture her especially when I can't even f**k another she-wolf without thinking about her. I'm so f****d and soon we will all be if she realises he true power and destroys us!!"

"There had to be a reason why you were mated to each other. Get her to fall in love with you. I didn't say you needed to fall in love with her."

Love me? My face must have been plastered with confusion.

"Make her fall in love with you. We will need her if we want to win this war."

The War. The War my father created because of his hatred of humans. A war that was pointless.

"You cannot be serious. I ruined her pack and captured her parents, she even thinks I killed ... her boyfriend." Gritting my teeth at that last word. "No, she is the f*****g enemy and will stay as my prisoner for now until I can figure out what to do." One thing for sure my father could never find out about her.

"Yeah I guess that is easier considering you have zero game with women anyway. The only way you ever get chicks is because of your Alpha status, and that doesn't seem to impress your little mate."

"Piss off"

"I bet you you can't get her to fall for you before she turns 18."

"I bet I could."

"Ok your on."

"No. That wasn't a bet."

"I think it was. Don't worry bro I'll be wingman."

The fucker gets me everytime when he wants to make a bet and he knows it.

"Making some pups with that fire cracker would be fun too."

"OUT now." I yelled. His laughter followed him down the hallway..

Reeling from Hendrix's words this time. A dangerous thought that never crossed my mind before.

Love me. Get her to love me.

The mate bond would strengthen our connection when she does come of age. Whether we liked it or not our lives were entwined now. I had thought of keeping her prisoner, killing her, breaking her spirit into submission, using her for my pleasure, never once had I thought to make her fall in love with me.

I didn't know what I was like to be loved since my mother died. I don't even think I'm capable of giving love or even receiving it. Hendrix could be right though. We could use her power on our side.
