Subduing My Alpha Mate

Chapter Three

Marvin inhales on getting to the exit of the building where the werecouncil was meeting which happens to be the headquarters of Havillah Industries, a company that has been managed by the Alpha Supremes of the US for several years.

His wolf has been weirdly calm ever since they laid eyes on their new mate, Gabriella probably just as shocked as Marvin was about their new mate.

She was extremely beautiful even with how stoic she looked and managed to stir his loins which he wasn't sure if it was an effect of the mate bond or if he truly found her attractive.

'But she is so different, she's not like...', Marvin is thinking when pain coursed through his veins like a fresh stab to his heart. 'I thought I promised not to think about that again', he reminds himself and sighs.

"Damn it Marvin, why are you nervous?", he growls.

'Why wouldn't you be nervous when a mere lady was able to command you and your wolf after an entire life of being in control?', his mind argues.

"She didn't command me, it was Dad who allowed me", he counters.

'You would have followed her out in a few seconds even if your father hadn't allowed you so don't be silly', his mind retorts and this time he could feel his wolf growl in agreement with the thought.

"Whatever, she's a female Alpha", he murmurs. "Marvin, you must be really crazy to be talking yourself in a public place. You're lucky the employees are not present due to the meeting", he chuckles and flips the door open only to see Gabriella in his front.

Her face immediately turns red on seeing him and she begins cursing herself internally for allowing her wolf to convince her to go back in to find him.

"Hey", Marvin grunts uneasily and she takes a step back then another, before smiling then realizing it was stupid, before reverting back to her emotionless facial expression.

"Hey", she replies in the most confident and in-control voice she could manage.

"Should we go somewhere else before we talk? Maybe a coffee shop or...", Marvin trails off as she bites her lips then swallows.

'How is she so sexy? She's not your type!', his mind yells frustratedly surprised at how alluring he found her.

Unknowing to him, Gabriella is mentally berating herself for having made such a suggestive gesture. It was all because of her perverted mind and equally crazy wolf.

She had been about to suggest his bedroom as the perfect place for them to go before they talk when she realized herself and bit her lip to swallow the stupid thought.

'Now, the guy must be seeing you as a stupid horny lady', she imagines and groans internally. 'He asked you a question!', she suddenly remembers and swallows.

"Umm... Let's just talk here and get it over with", she spits and he grins making her stomach suddenly fill with butterflies.

'We aren't getting over with it anytime soon, Missie', Marvin is thinking as she tries to force down the blush that was about to surface.

'He only smiled Gabriella, get a hold of yourself', her mind screams.

"So should we start with introductions first?"

"Good call", she breathes.

"So... Definitely, we know we're mates", Marvin begins and she swallows uneasily. "I'll take that as a confirmation and go-ahead", he concludes and she slowly nods. "And I know you're Gabriella Stone even though I shouldn't have any need to call you that", he adds and immediately berates himself for saying such a flirty line.

"And why is that?", she smirks and Marvin laughs knowing there was no escape: he had to continue with the flirting.

"Since we both know we're mates, it wouldn't be out of place to switch to calling you something more personal", he grins even though inwardly very nervous and she glares at him which makes his smile falter. "Hey, I'm just trying to make you relax here. You're so tensed when I don't bite", he excuses. "Okay, I actually bite but I certainly am completely harmless, to you"

"Are like this with every girl you meet?", she asks.

"No, I'm always professional", he replies honestly. "But I have to make an exception for my mate though", he adds with a shrug.

The flirting was becoming easier as he kept doing it. She kept maintaining a poker face though her olive green eyes were betraying sometimes which made him realize his flirting was not as unwelcomed as she made it seem.

"So I'm Marvin Hale", he finally introduces and her eyes widen. "Yes, your Alpha Ultra", he chuckles already knowing why she was shocked.

"You are not my alpha ultra, your position is still under deliberation", she spits and he chuckles.

"I know my father and I know your Alpha Supreme, and I'm certainly sure that the list you made is going to be tossed in the dustbin or somewhere around because he won't give it a second thought", Marvin replies and she glares at him.

"That would be wrong of him!"

"You can't challenge him for doing that, can you?", Marvin retorts and she rolls her eyes. "Very sexy, Margarita", he comments at her gesture and she glares at him.

"My name is Gabriella! Don't you dare call me anything except that!", she yells and he squints at her then laughs.

"Stop commanding me, Margarita, it scares my wolf, which is quite weird because you're not the only alpha here. I guess even my wolf wants you to always be relaxed"

"Shut up! The Red Moon pack will never submit to your authority and we will fight alongside our allies till we get what we want", she roars.

"What do you have to gain in this?", he questions directly and she is caught offguard for a moment.

"What do you mean? You seem smart despite being sexy as f**k, Oops As f**k was a wrong intensifier in this kind of situation but you get what I mean, you should have a personal stake in this", Marvin utters and she groans angrily.

"I'm not that kind of person", she defends.

"There's nothing wrong with wanting to have a personal gain in anything you do, Margarita"

"Don't call me that name!"

"Why? It feels perfect", he argues. "I didn't wake up this morning expecting to find a mate so for me to have constructed such a fitting term of endearment on the spot must have been a suggestion from the moon goddess herself"

"Do I look like I care?", she fires at him.

"You really shouldn't actually", he shrugs. "At least for now, but you definitely should be honest with your mate and tell him exactly what is your gain if your father becomes the alpha ultra"

"I just said I don't have any gain, didn't I?"

"I doubt that", he counters. "Whatever gain you would get wouldn't match up to what you will get if your husband is the alpha ultra so be rational Gabriella. Argh, that was so weird, I'm never trying it again"

"It should be Miss Stone actually, Alpha Stone would also be welcome", she replies and he laughs.

"That should do since you're the only Alpha except my father that can make my wolf compliant, Alpha Gabby or Sexy as f**k Alpha", he chuckles and her eyes narrow.

"What is wrong with you?", she yells and he laughs.

"I don't even know", he sighs then grins.

"I believe we're done with this meeting, you and I can't work since you're my rival"

"Your father's rival", Marvin cuts in.

"Whatever", she sighs. "I, Gabriella Rachael Stone, an alpha and daughter of the alpha of the Red Moon pack, reject you Marvin Hale, alpha of the Moonstone pack, as my mate"
