Alphas Don’t Beg

Chapter 15 - Vexed Gamma

Gabriel POV

She growled.

She f*****g growled.

She has a wolf?

And a very powerful one, from what I can sense.

I immediately feel a connection with her, maybe because she is going to be the queen and I’m her subject.

Damn! She really is the queen.

She shuts her eyes and takes deep breaths, in an attempt to calm herself down or her wolf… she has a f*****g wolf!

“Gabriel, you need to walk away… now” she says with her eyes still closed, breathing heavily.

“Yeah, that’s not going to happen”, like hell I’m leaving now.

“You stupid fucker” she says, clenching her fists and clenching her eyes shut, she is losing control.

“Don’t rail her up you i***t or she’ll shift” Alex snarls at me, still kneeling, I guess she commanded them not to move.

“And what will happen if she does?” I wonder.

“It might just kill her” Zander explains, rooted to his spot.

What! No, she can’t die.

So that’s why no one ever saw her wolf?

She suppresses a growl then bolts deeper into the trees.

And Phoenix let out a growl.

“What is it?”

“I don’t know, just follow her”, so I do just that.

“You have a wolf?”, sorry, I’m still processing this.

“Of course, I do, you mother fucker, there are two f*****g prophecies about it for crying out loud” she snaps at me.

Here it is again, the flash of red in her eyes.

Okay, I must calm her down or she’ll… die!

“Get out of here Gabriel, you and your f*****g alpha who you so loyally follow, just pisses me off more” she growls, then punches the tree next to her.

“Go… away” she says between heavy breaths, clenching the tree trunk so hard it’s going to snap between her fingers.

Oh goddess, it’s happening.

I have to stop it.

“Stop being so f*****g angry, or you’ll shift” I yell at her, worried… she can’t die... I can’t let that happen.

“Yeah, yelling will calm her down you i***t”

Shit, he is right!

“Listen... princess… you ha-”

“Who the f**k are you calling princess?” she grits out.

Fuck me, I’m only making it worse.

What the hell should I do?

“Fix it” Phoenix growls.

Fuck it!

I just grab her by the back of the neck and crash my lips into hers.

She tastes like the purest honey, and I just want to devour it.

She is stunned for a moment, but I guess it did the trick because after that … came the sweetest feeling of her kissing me back.

She is kissing me back!

Oh dear moon goddess, make this last forever.

This is better than I’ve imagined… her lips on mine… our bodies that close… her between my arm… this is-.

“Stop” she says, cutting off my trail of thoughts… stopping our sweet kiss.

“What’s wrong?” I ask.

“What’s wrong is you kissing me. What the f**k do you think you are doing?” she says, pushing me away and I almost fall on my ass.

“I was trying to stop you from shifting… you are welcome”, I did… and I also really wanted to kiss her, and I want to do it again.

“And that was the only way you knew how, you perv?” she says, then punches my arm and it f*****g hurts!

“Well, it worked, didn’t it?” I say rubbing where she hit me.

“Who the f**k told you it wouldn’t only piss me off more and I would shift and gladly bite your head off” she says with an amused smirk.

“I was hopeful… and from the way you kissed me back… I was right” I say matching her expression.

“Pfff… I… it was just the heat of the moment, and where did you get the idea to do so anyway?” she asks, narrowing her eyes at me.

“Well, I saw it on a tv show once … and I hoped it'd work in real life” I say getting closer.

“Teen wolf?” she asks with one eyebrow raised.

“Yeah… you know it?” I ask intrigued, taking more steps towards her, it's like I can't stay far from her.

“Stiles was my favourite”, of course he was.

“Funny, Lydia was mine” I answer with a smile, and she smiles back.

I want to hold her again... it’s like she fits between my arms.

“So, you like bossy girls?” she asks with a chuckle.

“No, I love strong women” I say, getting lost in the depth of her ocean blue eyes, and she seems to like the answer.

I’m so close now, I can feel her breath on my face.

I lean in for one more kiss and I swear she is meeting me halfway, but before our lips touch, we are interrupted by a vexed future Gamma.

“What the hell is going on here?” Alex asks, while Zander glares at me and if glares could kill, I’d be dead right now.

“Nothing” we both say, moving away from each other like the other person just caught on fire.

“Are you okay, alpha?” Zander asks her but still glaring at me.

“Yes, I’m fine, let’s go back” Blue eyes says, and leads the way with Alex following her.

Zander stays behind waiting for me, just as I pass him he slams his hand on my chest, stopping me, and I’ll admit… it hurts like a mother fucker.

“What the f**k?” I say supressing the pain.

“So, you forbid your sister from accepting me… her mate, because I’m a royal and here you are making out with the future queen”.

“It’s not like that, I was just distracting her from her anger” I explain… although it’s not the entire truth.

“I don’t know what kind of game you are playing here, Gabriel, and I did promise your sister I won’t let you get killed… but I’m not sure I will keep that promise for long” he says, staring me right in the eyes.

“You got it all wrong” I try to somehow defend myself, but I have no basis to be honest… I really wanted to kiss her from the moment I saw her.

“Then you get this right… f**k with Maxima and I’ll separate your head from your shoulders and not even your sister will stop me” he says with finality, then walks away.

Well, that was… intense.

Maxima POV

“You have to come home, now” my father tells me over the phone after I reported what happened.

“And what message will that send when I run back to my daddy at the first sign of trouble?” I try to convince him to let me stay.

“This is different Max, it’s your safety we are talking about, and that Patrick fucker is as good as dead” he growls from the other end.

“I can protect myself and I can handle the asshole... if I left, it will be exactly what he wants, plus, I know he deserves it, but his pack doesn’t”.

“She has to come home Derek” I hear mom yelling in the background.

“Maxima, your mother is worried sick, f**k Patrick, f**k his pack, and f**k the damn throne… we just want our baby safe with us” my dad says, and I can tell how worried he is too.

“But I’m not a baby, dad, I’m an alpha and I am the future queen. You have to let me fight my own battles and this battle I’m going to win, so please don’t undermine me by sending me home, you will basically be saying that everyone who doubts me is right… have a little faith in me” I say to him.

“You know I do, we do, it’s not that”.

“Then let me do it, let me stay, if I can’t handle a deranged alpha and whoever dares to attack me, then they are right, and I’m not fit to be their queen in the first place”, this is my chance to prove myself.

He stays quiet for a while then says,“Okay Maxima, I’ll give you one week and i'll send reinforcements and if you don’t come back after that, I will come drag you out of there myself” he finally agrees.

“WHAT? You tell her to come back right now Derek, or I swear to god I’ll stab you… where is my sword” I hear mom screaming at dad, then I hear some noise, like she is searching for something.

“Goodbye now, I have to go calm your mother down before she actually finds her sword” and with that he hangs up.

I put my phone down on the nightstand, satisfied by the result, only to be met with Alex’s glaring eyes.

“You didn’t tell him about the almost shift” she says coldly.

“I barely convinced him to let me stay… he doesn’t need to know that now, and no one is going to tell him” I warn her and she just nod, still glaring.

“what’s up with you?” I ask her.

“You broke our deal” she answers.

“What are you talking about?”.

“No romances or relationships until we take on our positions” she reminds me of the agreement we made after what happened 3 years ago.

“What romance? He was just kissing me to distract me from my anger”, I hope it wasn’t just that.

“Don’t bullshit me Max, there is something more there, you like him” she says, irritated.

“Well, can you blame me? He is different… he is not afraid to speak his mind, he is not intimidated by my position or who I am, it’s quite the opposite actually… I don’t have to second guess the intention of every word he says to me… and he tells me off when I deserve it”.

“So he treats you like crap and he insults you… that’s his big appeal?” she says, almost disgusted with me.

“Not when you put it like that… he is also f*****g hot and a damn good kisser” I add.

“So is Jake, but you don’t see me breaking our deal for it”, what?

“You kissed Jake?” I ask surprised.

“No, but I don’t mind doing so”.

“So do it” I encourage her.

“But we agreed, what if they are just playing us? You know how men think of women in power, you know how the werewolves view us, that we are weak and easy to manipulate… we can’t be reckless or history will repeat itself, Maxima” she says, getting angry.

“That happened to you once, Alex, It doesn’t mean it will happen again, and you are making a big deal out of this, it’s just a kiss, it’s not like we are dating” I defend myself.

“Good, because from what I heard he already has a date tonight”, What!
