Mated to the Wrong Alpha

Chapter 6

David’s P.O.V.

“Ellie, not right now,” I tell the girl I have been dating for almost two years. I’m not sure why but things feel different today. After dinner, I went into the kitchen and seeing Taylor so defeated and scared, it stirred something in me. I have tried to get her out of my mind all evening but all I did was toss and turn. Ellie went to shower, and I even snuck to Taylor’s bedroom to check on her, but her door was locked. It’s a simple old rusted lock, that I could easily break if I wanted to, but it is the only privacy she has in this whole pack. Why do I feel so bad about mistreating her, when I am the one who hit her in front of the whole pack? I let Ellie torment her and she is a traitor in my pack's eyes. I feel my wolf become excited every time he has been near her lately.

“She excites me, her frame, her eyes, her smell. Something about her makes me crazy.” Riker says as he prances around.

“Do you think she could be our mate?” I ask him, a little afraid of the answer.

“I’m not sure, but ever since the incident in the kitchen, Ellie has been repulsive.” He shuts me out now, putting up his block. I grunt which makes Ellie think I am into what she is doing, or trying to I should say.

“Ellie, enough!” I bark in my alpha voice, she stops immediately. Tears forming in her eyes as she stands up and wipes the corners of her mouth. I pull my pants up and zip and button them.

“What’s wrong with you? Ever since earlier, since you were helping that traitorous b***h, you have barely looked at me.” She says rubbing her hand on my chest, the feeling of her skin on mine pisses me off. I grab her hand and throw it down.

“Not everything is about s*x, Ellie. Maybe I just want to be left the hell alone.” I say in a cold tone. She looks at me shocked and runs out of the room. Normally I would feel bad but right now I am thankful for the peace and quiet. She has not stopped harassing me since she walked in on me helping Taylor.

Taylor… Her name gives me chills. A loud knock rattles my door, “Son.” I hear my fathers voice on the other side of the door. I roll my eyes and quickly slip on the nearest shirt. I walk to the door and open it, “Yes?” I ask, annoyed.

“Do not take that tone with me boy!” he roars. My father has no patience, no room for disrespect. When I was 6, I yelled at him for accusing me of doing something I did not, and he forced me to carry wood logs up and down the hill of our pack. He would force me to swim with them on my back, I learned then not to ever talk back to him.

“Sorry,” I mumble as he storms in.

“It’s been brought to my attention that the Alphas of the packs attending your party are bringing their daughters, and a few unmated she wolves. Now son, I know Ellie and you have been together for awhile, but if she turns out to not be your mate you will have to break up with her and find yourself your mate.” He says in a voice not to be challenged. He demands respect and only his way goes, it does not matter about anyone else. I just nod my head, I feel a bit of relief when he mentions Ellie not being my mate and breaking up with her. She has been very clingy and walks around like she owns the place.

“Not to mention, she tortures Taylor on a daily basis,” Riker says, annoyed. I sigh defeated, I do not understand these feelings I have, I just need to get some sleep. It’s late and tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday, a huge party being thrown in my honor. I should be thrilled, why does it seem that I am not?

“Ok, if she turns out to not be my mate I will break up with her,” I say ignoring everything else he has said.

“Tomorrow, dance with every shewolf you can, your wolf will know if he finds his mate.” He says before he walks out of the room.

All I have heard for years is about how when I turn seventeen, I will need to find my mate and take over the pack. Well, the time is here, and it scares me shitless. My father runs a tight pack, with tight rules. There is no room for commentary, you do as you are told, or you will be punished. It’s how I was raised, which is why when we heard about Taylors’ parents conspiring against my father, they had to be executed. I’ll never forget the look on her face as she pleaded with my mother and father to spare their lives. I sigh, as a pinch in my heart starts to burn.

I go to my bed and plop down, I lean back and try to not think about the girl who has corrupted my every thought, all evening. I had to have fallen asleep because the next thing I know I feel the bed dip next to me, I look up to see Ellie naked crawling into my bed. I take a deep breath and exhale. If I want to get Taylor off my mind, why not do what is laid out in front of me? It’s not like Ellie isn’t beautiful, because she is. Her long blonde hair flows down her back in perfect waves, her breasts perky and her n*****s so pink and succulent. She has a perfectly curved body, with a nice round ass. Her bright green eyes lock with mine, willing me to take her. Her bright pink bud stares at me, calling me to dominate it. My member twitches and I sit up, rolling on top of her.

“I’m sorry about earlier, I am just afraid you will not like me anymore if I am not your mate.” She whispers as she trails her fingertips over my arms.

“Don’t speak,” I say as I lean in and start kissing her neck, small moans escape her.

The next morning, I wake up alone in my bed. I get out of bed and take off towards the bathroom. I need a shower after last night. It was hard to keep Taylor off my mind. Even as I am deep inside another, she still fills my thoughts. I take a quick shower and head to my bedroom.

I see my maid standing there, I have picked this one personally, she is also not bad to look at. I drop my towel and she licks her hungry lips, I smirk. “Talia, would you please fetch me something to wear today.” She smirks back at me as she sways her ass to my closet and grabs me something to wear. I have meetings today before the party. I need to busy myself before I go and do something crazy, like run up to Taylor’s room and throw her in mine and never let her out. That thought makes me smile, maybe then she would be out of my thoughts if I knew where she was and what she was doing. No, what am I even thinking right now?

I shake my head to clear my thoughts and grab what she throws out for me. I slip on a button-down gray shirt with black pants, I put my jacket on and head for the door.

“Please, clean the sheet,” I say over my shoulder as I feel her eye f*****g me from afar.

Before I know it, I hear Ellie coming down the hall. I hear her and her friends talking about how great it will be when she is Luna. How they can finally do what needs to be done with traitor girl? I stop, smelling the air, praying she is not my mate. I smell nothing, I feel nothing. Riker is as still as can be when she approaches me.

“Sweetheart, how are you?” she asks in her sickening sweet tone. I turn towards her and smile.

“I am fine,” I say coldly, she stills. She is shocked I did not mark her right on the spot.

“Girls, wait downstairs.” She commands and they all look just as shocked as her.

She comes up to me and runs her fingers over my chest, “You look handsome today.” Still nothing happens. I nod and look at her.

“You are not my mate, Ellie.” She gasps.

“What? No, of course I am!” she yells a little too loud. I grip her arm and head around the corner out of sight of people coming up the stairs.

“Do not make a scene, Ellie,” I say between clenched teeth.

“I am your mate, your wolf just needs time to recognize me.” She says confidently, but I see the fear in her eyes.

“No, Ellie. You are not my mate, I am sure of it. Tonight is my party, I will be offered to every pack that is attending so I can find my destined. You are not it.” I say sternly. Tears form in her eyes.

“What are you saying, David?” she whimpers. It annoys me so much that I have to even say this again.

“You. Are. Not. My. Mate.” I emphasize each word. She covers her mouth and runs away. I watch her retreating form run down the stairs.

I sigh, feeling relieved that that part was over and she is not in fact my mate. “Son, the meeting starts in five minutes,” my father links. I roll my eyes and make my way to the conference room.

Hours pass and the meetings are finally over, we have a new treaty with Tred Moon. I make my way to my room, where my mother has laid out my suit for this evening. Although I feel I look fine, I guess there is no time to argue about it.

I walk into the room and see it lying on my freshly made bed. I go to it and start putting on the pieces. After I put it on I make my way to the bathroom and comb my dark brown hair. It’s not long, but not too short either. I take my toothbrush and toothpaste and start brushing my teeth. Thoughts of Taylor flood my mind and I grip my toothbrush almost breaking it.

I wonder what she would feel like withering under me, screaming my name? I shake my head again to clear my thoughts. My member stands to a point at my little fantasy. I grab the handle and open the door.

I look out into the hallway and see nobody, I shut and lock it and make my way to the party I hear downstairs. I am almost in the room when I smell something delicious, fresh strawberries on a summer's day fills my nostrils. Riker is going crazy in my head, bouncing all over the place. I grab the wall next to me as I try to regain control of my emotions.

I finally take a few deep breaths and stand up straight. I walk into the room, searching for that delicious scent. It’s stronger by the food table and I walk towards it. I’m trying hard to find it but every time I take a step a shewolf is in my way trying to gain my attention. I’m annoyed at this point and I let out a low threatening growl which makes the shewolf in front of me gasp and run away. Finally, I sigh.

I still, the scent is so strong and there is only one person that it is coming from, Taylor. I watch her for a moment as she scarfs down a plate of food, I feel guilty about all those times I hit her for stealing food. Even when I knew she didn’t, I still blamed and punished her for it. I look around and see my mother and father dancing about. I wait until she is finished and I grab her and rush her towards the door. I pull her into the hallway and she stands a few feet away from me. I look at her beautiful face and sexy frame.

“You,” I say in a hard whisper. She visibly gulps. My member twitches.

“Fuck.” I whisper. She gasps and she starts backing herself into a corner, I follow her footsteps. She trembles as I move closer and a small whimper escapes her. My member is hard as rock now with her so close. I bend down, putting my arms on either side of her. I get close to her ear and a throaty growl escapes me. I see the goosebumps rise on her neck that calls for me to take it, mark it forever. So many emotions running through my head I cannot focus on any of them but one, lust.

I lean up and stare into her beautiful brown eyes, I feel more emotions settling into me, sadness, and regret, but then I start to feel angry. Why on earth would the goddess pair me with the one girl I could not have? I see her start to shake beneath me, fidgeting her hands.

“I..I should get back to the party,” she says as she tries to duck under my arm, but I move it lower, trapping her in my little cage.

“Leaving so soon?” I asked, amused.

“Uh.” She says, trying to come up with an excuse.

The anger returns and I cannot control it, I punch the wall next to her head. She jumps, the look of terror and confusion on her face makes my heart hurt but my mind is pissed. I look down and remember all the things her parents did and I feel disgusted.

“Go, stay away from me,” I say in a cold, detached voice. She scurries away, while I mentally beat myself up.
