Going Against the Alpha

Chapter 17-D:Day

Claudette’s POV

Kenny chuckles. "I think you’re his mate, dear." No way I playfully hit him on the arm, ignoring the angry Alpha that is approaching us and the roomful of people that are now staring at all of us. As soon as he gets to the three of us, he lets out another vicious growl, "MINE!"    

Alpha Roman and Beta Kenny both nod and start to move away. What? Kenny, where are you going? You are my sober companion, remember. My drunken state didn’t seem to grasp the current situation. Alpha Blake’s eyes are now pure black, and looking like he is getting ready to kill. 

“Claudette, your mate is here now, so you don’t need me to help protect you. Or get you through tonight. Alpha Blake, I’m sure, will take good care of you." He says.

Fine, whatever go I say as I wave my hand in a dismissal type way. I turn to Alpha Blake, who is no longer looks so murderous. I guess what Kenny said to me put his mind at ease.

However, I am feeling feisty at the moment. So I start asking my questions Where have you been? Why did it take you so long to get jealous of another male over here with me? If I were really yours, you would have been over here a long time ago. So, I do not think I’m yours.  

Alpha Blakes POV

It is showtime! I let out the most aggressive possessive enormous growl I have ever had. I let my mind think of the most outrageous things that could go wrong with my plan. Thinking like this makes me angrier, so it is coming off as if I am jealous of her being around two other males. I storm over to where they are. As soon as I get to the three of them, I let out another vicious growl, MINE!

The two men both nod and start to move away, just like I excepted them to do. However, I did not expect Claudette to protest to one of them leaving. I can feel my anger growing because she does not want the one she called Kenny to leave her. I’m ready to kill if I have to. This plan is going to work even if that means someone is going to die.

While Kenny is trying to convince Claudette that it is alright, I take a quick glance in her father Alpha John’s direction. Seeing the sheer panic on his face makes me want to smile, but I force myself to focus. I know he is panicking because he thinks that I can't feel the mate bond I supposedly felt last week. It looks like my plan will work after all. Alpha John is going to give me his pack, and he doesn’t even know it yet. I quickly turn my focus back to the task at hand. When I see Claudette dismiss them by waving her hand in the air like they are peasants, and she is their queen. 

This makes me want to laugh out loud, but that is short lived because the next thing I know, Claudette turns to me, hitting me with mating questions like she already knew this was a scam. My mood has quickly soured, and it is catching me off guard. However, I quickly recover, put on my smoothest sexy voice that no woman has ever been able to resist, and say Baby, as soon as you ran into me on that first day that I was here, I knew you were mine, and deep down, you knew it too. Try and tell me you didn't? I wait a couple of seconds and respond before she can. You can’t because we are mates. Just like I know how turned on you are right now. Her cheeks turn bright pink just as I flash her one of my famous panty-dropper smiles that all the girls love. She starts to say something but is cut off by her father Alpha John’s announcement.

Alpha John POV

Hey Honey, I’m sorry I’m late. I kiss Ann on the check. “It is fine. Tonight is going great so far. I’m getting to know a few of the new alphas and Kamila’s mate Alpha Denver. He seems nice. I’m so happy for them,” She says. That is great, honey, but I do not see Claudette around. Where is she? “That is a good question. Hmm…. She came in with me, and we spoke to a few guests. Ann’s face is now beaming with happiness as she continues telling me, “Then a man came over, and they ran off together. I haven’t seen her since! Maybe she found her mate too.”

I know that is not possible as I have kept her away from unmated males like I was told to until today. The only way she could find her mate is if they had met before the spell was cast. I keep trying to scan the room for her, but I’m having too greet guests right now, so I will have to postpone my search. 

Ann interrupts my thoughts by mid linking, “She is fine. Relax, this was the whole reason we decided to host this event was for her to meet her mate” I smile at her and start to relax a little. My plans have always worked before. Why should this one be any different? “Dad, how is the setting for tonight? Did you put me with Alpha Denver?” Kamilla ask. Yes, of course, you are seated with him and his beta. Everyone will be seated with their Alpha, Beta, and if they have met their mate, they will also be seated together. Unmated Alphas and Beta’s will be sat on the other end of the table closer with Claudette. This way, she can have a better chance to talk to all of them. Well, my dear, it looks like everyone is here……

All of a sudden, an enormous powerful possessive growl is heard throughout the room. Everyone stops and turns to the door entryway to see who it came from. It was Alpha Blake. He is staring across the room toward the refreshment bar. I follow his line of sight and the direction he is now storming off towards, where I now see Claudette with two other men. Watching Claudette’s reaction, she doesn’t seem bothered by the scene that is currently taken place. Maybe he is making a fuss about the bartender Brittany behind where Claudette and her companions are located. As soon as he gets to the three of them, he lets out another vicious growl, MINE! 

No! How is this even possible? At our meeting, she assured me that it would keep her and her mate from feeling the mate bond. The only way that he would know that they are mates is if they had met before. But he should no longer feel it anymore. Well, I guess I do not need to arrange a marriage now, since this works out better. Alpha Blake is the Alpha to the most extensive and strongest packs around. Even better, they are one of our neighboring packs.

My jaw is still slightly open from the shock that is happening in front of me. “Dad, you might want to close your mouth before something flies in there,” Kamila laughs. I smile and give a fake laugh. “Don’t look so shocked. Honestly, I’m surprised he stayed away from Claudette this long. Claudette literally ran into him on our way to your office the first day he was here,” she says. I feel my head nodding along with what Kamila is telling me. This makes so much more sense now. Still, my only question is how is he feeling the mate bond?
