Dominant Enemies… and mates

As It Should Be

I don't feel different today, but apparently I'm the only one who doesn't notice my changes. Alex, Rio and Diory apparently sense that I'm being ‘overbearing’ even though I was literally doing nothing but driving in absolute silence.

"What the fück have I even said today?" I complain when they end my patience. Diory sitting on the passanger looks at me with offended eyes, "What?"

"You need to calm down when you talk to me, you big dumb dog," she says, frowning.

"Yeah, dude, check your attitude, we were just talking about your scent," Rio complains and Alex accepts. I can't do anything but shake my head, I feel like I'm being gaslit. I literally did nothing but exist and they started to shït on me. And now I can't even defend myself.

"I really think it's your scent, dude," Alex says, making me roll my eyes. Can't they shut the fück up? "You're emitting some kind of alpha power."

"It because you're fücking getting on my fücking nerves!" I yell, losing my shït and stopping the car when I finally get to the parking lot. The immediate silence in the car makes me close my eyes. God, "I'm sorr-"

I can't even finish apologizing because Alex opens up the door and both twins leave the car, very dramatically. My sister is still looking at me with her psycho blue eyes.

"I really don’t like you right now," she says and opens up the door to get out as well, leaving me alone in the car with my apparently overbearing scent.

I would really just decide to skip school and go for a drive to cool down, but my wolf wants to see that little albino brat, so I have to force myself to leave the car and get to school.

I might be overthinking but I think everyone stares at me as I walk past them. I lift my hand awkwardly and mess up my hair because I don't know what else to do. Everyone is just looking at me weird and I don't even know how to act. The one thing I know is that I should keep my mouth shut if I don't want to keep pissing people off.

I get to my classroom and most of my classmates are already in here, but the one I want to see isn't. That sucks.

I walk to the open seat behind my cousins and they both look at me like they're still pissed.

"Are you guys going to get over it or what?" I ask. Rio rolls his eyes and looks away. He's always the most difficult one, but Alex just sighs and gets up to sit next to me, leaving his brother alone, "Really, dude, I don't know what that shït in the car was about. I'm sorry. Hey, Rio, can you hear me? I said I'm sorry."

"Yes, I heard you," he says, rolling his eyes, but I can see he breathes out and calms down, "If you keep trying to subdue us, we're going to have a problem, okay? You're not our alpha or something, to be pulling that on us."

"I wasnt even trying!" I excuse myself, but his eyes don't change, "Fine, I won't do it again. But can you promise not to be such a little girl and get upset over dumb shït? When have I ever been purposefully overbearing?"

"Yeah, Rio, he's right," Alex says, "Laurie is just a dumbass who doesn't know how to control his wolf. Just chill out."

"Fine," Rio says and calms down enough to turn to us. We keep talking about something else but five minutes later the teacher comes in and starts the class. And Kingsley is not here yet. He never misses class unless his family is out traveling but I know for a fact they came back this morning, so why isn't he here?"

I can't concentrate in anything else except him. I logically know he's okay, there's no reason to think otherwise, but my wolf keeps trying to make me leave the classroom to go get him. Or talk to him somehow, but of course I don't have his number.

"Laurent?" Someone asks, pulling me out of my thoughts. It’s the teacher, "Come here."

"What?" I ask, but she's just looking at me waiting for me to comply. Everyone else's eyes are on me as well so I stand up, looking at my cousins for a second before I walk over there. They're just as confused as me.

"So, Laurent is now an alpha. Today is his eighteenth birthday." she explains.

Oh, great. This isn't awkward at all.

Alex and Rio try to hide their laughter. The rest of the class says happy birthday awkwardly, not knowing what the hell is going on either.

"Not only that, but he is a dominant alpha. I'm sure you felt a shift in the energy today," she starts and everyone starts mumbling and agreeing, "That's because Laurent's wolf is emitting pheromones to subdue everyone. This is something we talked about last semester, you guys remember? Dominant pheromones. It happens in fated relationships and with dominant alphas."

"You said it was really rare to have someone with dominant designation," someone says, looking at me. Honestly, I just want to disappear.

"Rare doesn't mean impossible, Genny. I just wanted to grab Laurie here and clear the air. He is not really trying to subdue any of you... not consciously. It's just the way his wolf is, okay? So please, guys... don't feel threatened. Sam, Albert, you two are alphas too, you could easily understand his pheromones as him challenging you, but that's not the case."

"Yeah, I'm not doing anything," I mumble, lifting my hand to my messy hair, making it even messier, "Can I go back to my seat now?"

"Yeah. Happy birthday, by the way," she says and as I walk back to my seat, she starts talking about pheromones again.

Now I'm glad King isn't here. I know he would have made this even more awkward somehow.

"Aww, the teacher had to help him understand whats going on," Rio teases me as soon as I'm seated.

"Aww, Rio was feeling threatened," I tease him back, he stops thinking it's funny then, but luckily he just shuts up. And then I have to deal with five hours of classes without King there. It’s always unbearable when he’s not here.

I spend the rest of the day feeling anxious and restless. Not seeing Kingsley today and not even knowing what's going on with him is making me lose my mind.

I only get distracted for a while at my birthday dinner with the whole family, but as soon as it's over and we're in our way home, my mind starts going insane with the need to go to him again.

"Thanks for the party, Daddy," I say, hugging my dad once we’re home, "I had a good birthday."

"No, you didn't, you were shaking your leg the whole time like you were..." my father comes behind my little sister and puts a hand over her mouth to shut her up. She frowns and tries to keep talking because she's still mad about me ‘trying to subdue her’ this morning.

"Stop, Diory. You've been way too mean to your brother today," my father says but Diory can't give a single fück. She keeps fighting him trying to make him let go, "Okay, girl, that's enough."

He grabs her and picks her up without letting her mouth go.

"Goodnight, Laurie. We'll keep talking tomorrow, it's late now," he says and goes upstairs trying to contain Diory's crazy body contorting and trying to set herself free like a damn wild cat.

"That is fully Daniel's fault," my dad says as he watches them leave, shaking his head, "She's a demon. I'm scared for my life everytime we're alone."

"Shut up," I laugh, "I actually think she's just like you."

"Hell no, I am not an evil spawn like her. Or like you," he says, with an amused smile, "Well, I'll go to bed now. Don't stay up too late, you have school tomorrow."

"I won't, I just want a little snack before I go to bed," I lie and my dad nods before heading upstairs. I sit on the couch and turn on the TV. I need to make some time.

I know my dad likes to get out of his room like twenty minutes after they get in so he can go check on Diory and make sure she's not doing witchcraft or something in her room. So I wait until that happens to stand up and walk to the back door.

"This is the last time I let you do this," I say out loud. Kingsley's going to be mad about this, but I still let my wolf do this only because it’s his presentation and he's been a bother the whole day.

I let my wolf come out and take full control of me. I surrender to him completelty because I dont want to be a part of this or see how mad Kingsley will get.

{ Kingsley }

[ 17 years old ]

I'm still crying. I don't know how to stop.

I've been crying nonstop for around five hours now and no matter how much I try, I literally can't stop crying.

I don't even know why I'm even crying about anymore, it's not even about me being sad at this point. Something in my body or my head is wrong because I feel like trapped in a loop. This only happens sometimes, but now that I’m old I don't want my mommy to help me calm down like she used to.

I want to be able to stop on my own.

But I can't.

"God, just shut up!" I yell at myself. I'm so done with this crying shït, I have things to do. But I still sob uncontrollably and have to crouch down to catch my breath before I pass out.

While I'm trying to not die choked on my tears, there's a creak on my window and I gasp in fear. What the fück.

It's been almost eight months since the last time. I can't believe this is happening right now. And on his fücking birthday... although, maybe that's why.

"Where are you, Kingsley?" He asks, letting himself enter my room like it's his right. But one good thing about this shock is that my crying actually stoped finally. I get up from the floor and look at him, "What were you doing on the floor? Why are you all red?"

Laurent is wearing nice clothes for the first time... ever. He's wearing fitted jeans and a button down shirt that actually fits on his body like it should.

I saw him wearing a suit once, but it was a little too big on him like maybe he was wearing his father's suit. But right now he actually looks good. His long hair is brushed back and I meet his forehead for the first time in my life. His wolf ears are also out but they look diferent, they look bigger and like part of his face is hairy too, like a full beard, even though he's had mostly a baby face until last week.

This sharper, more mature look loks great on him. So much so that I can't even form thoughts for a few seconds.

"Why are you here? We had an agreement, we said this was going to end," I say, trying to sound strong but unable to because he starts walking towards me. Who gave this guy the right to look so hot right now? "Alpha, do not come any closer to me."

He frowns like he doesn't like that, but he complies anyway. And now that he's closer, I can see more diferences. His forearms are very hairy too, and that's not normal. It also feels like Alpha has more of a presence on him now.

And not only that, he feels different. It feels like he's sucking all the air in my room, like he has some kind of cloud around him that's making me feel some type of way. I don't know if it's a good way or not.

"Why were you crying, Kingsley?"

"Just dumb things," I lie, because I cannot tell him I felt horribly fat and disgusting this morning, so much that I couldn't even find the strength to go to school and all throughout the day I just felt so disgusting I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror, "Please, can you leave?"

"No. I've been wanting to see you all day," he growls, annoyed, "Where were you? C’mon, at least let me scent you, baby. It’s been so long.”

"No. Do not get close to me," I warn, "Alpha… just give up, we’re done.”

“No, we’re not done. We will never be done, don’t you remember what I said? We're fated," he repeats, making me groan again, "I will never leave you alone. I can give you space if you want, but even then I’m with you. I’m always aware of you, worried about you, caring about you. And I will be forever, you understand that?"

Ugh. No. I don’t want to hear that, I don’t want him being sweet to me. Especially not after the shït day I had today.

“I’m really sorry it has to be like this, Alpha, but no," I say with more conviction this time, he frowns again, "I simply will never be able to look at you with anything other than hate, okay? Even if it’s not for you. You are the most incredible wolf and I do love you a lot, but your fücking face belongs to him. And you can’t be you the whole time, his family would flip out. So, I’d rather not see you at all.”

“That’s not fair and not possible," he answers, "There is no way to stop this from happening. I am yours, I've been yours since the moment I met you. I can only control the boy to a ceirtain extent, but I can make him apolog..."

"We're past the point of apologizing,” I admit, looking down. I’m glad I decided to cover my damn body with this thick robe because I don’t want to be perceived today, especially not by him, “Laurent has bullied me for most of my life. He has made every day a struggle for me, even when we’re thousands of miles away. Every insecurity I have is his fault, every time I see something ugly in me is because he pointed it out. I just simply will never be able to see him in a different way, I’m sorry.”

Alpha loses some of his aggression now that he can smell how truthful I’m being.

"What if I shift to my true form? Will you let me scent you and hold you then?" He asks and I actually stop to think about it for a second. That doesn’t sound that bad, actually. That would be hanging out with my favorite wolf, without having to look at that jerkass face, so I nod. Alpha smiles and I know he's about to shift.

"Wait!" I yell, he looks at me, "You can't ruin these clothes, I know they’re expensive and Oliver will kick your äss if you ruin them. Undress first."

I shouldn’t fücking care what his dad would do, but I just can’t let him ruin clothes this nice. I just didn’t think that meant I would have to look at his body.

His big, delicious looking body.

Oh, my god. As soon as he starts unbottoning his shirt he stops and his eyes set on me. I know he can smell how I’m feeling.

"If you want me to do something about that, you need to tell me now before I shift.”

“I said no!" I reply and he just sighs and keeps going. His shoulders look immense. My head barely reaches them. He moves on to his pants and then his boxers. And then I have to actually move my head away because my eyes refuse to let go, "Your... dïck looks bigger."

"Yes. Do you like it?"

“No," I lie with a frown, "Hurry up, Wolf and shift. Your dumb face is making me angry.”

He finally finishes shifting and then I feel complete again. His wolf is fücking massive now, even bigger than the last time I saw him. He's almost the size of my bed.

I don’t waste any time, I open my arms and hug his thick neck, burrying my nose right there and just letting myself be completly full of his warm scent.

It smells like family.

My big beautiful black wolf nudges me with his muzzle. I don’t know what that means, but he keeps doing it. He growls, too. Maybe he wants to see his wolf, too? I gues I can give it to him. I guess it'll be nice to disconnect for the rest of the day and just let them be together.

I take off my robe and shift. Letting them be happy and in love together.
