Death of an Alpha

Chapter 6

*knock knock*

I'm awoken by a knock on my door. I quickly look at the clock and see that it says 7 am. How did I sleep that long. I didn't even eat yesterday not with all the commotion.

"Come in" I say. I turn and see Dimitri standing in the doorway with a tray of food. My stomach growls at the sight of the breakfast. How did he know I was starving? Even Mason isn't that intuitive.

"I brought you some breakfast." He places the tray on my bedside table. I grab the orange juice from the tray and take a sip. He sits there staring at me. I give him a questioning look as if to ask what he wants without being that rude

"I'm sorry." Is all he says while staring at me with a look of hurt or concern I'm not sure.

"For what?" I ask even though I have a list of what could be wrong. He takes a seat on the bed beside me. His smell intoxicating, even more delicious than Margery's food.

"Everything. I had given up hope of ever finding you. Now that I've found you I can't ever let you go. My beast won't allow it even if it wouldn't kill us."

"It's not your fault. It's just hard to imagine anything different then what I have right now."

"I understand. Im sorry that your whole life has been turned upside down but I can promise you that I will spend my life trying to give you a full and happy life." I nod hearing the truth in his words and feeling the beating of my heart quicken at his words. The mate bond almost forcing me to fall for him every time he's around. "Could I ask a favour?"

"Sure" I say placing the orange juice back on the tray.

"Can I kiss you? My beast is demanding some form of intimacy and I'm afraid I won't be able to control him."

I nod thinking that kissing and more will be inevitable. It just still feels like cheating. I'm technically Masons wife. I'm still luna. Even though in the werewolf world as soon as I found my fated mate me being married to Mason was more cheating than me kissing Dimitri.

Dimitri leans in waiting for me to close the gap. I lean in and our lips connect. Sparks everywhere. They tingle all the way down to my toes. Dimitri's hand cups my cheek and then slides behind my head and into my hair as he deepens the kiss. This makes me wet with arousal. A small moan escaping my lips. At this I feel his grip on me tighten and he pulls me closer to him.

Mmm our mate tastes so good. I wonder what his c***k tastes like. Katya is such a horny wolf.

I then put my hands around his neck as our kiss grows even more intense. And then abruptly he grabs my hands from around his neck and almost pushes me away, standing from the bed.

"I'm sorry..." I find myself apologizing for my boldness thinking he was enjoying our kiss.

"Oh god, no." He kneels inbetween my legs looking up at me. This position is odd to me. It seems as if the King is bowing to me and that gives me a sense of equality in our power. As if now I know he will never force me into anything if he can control it. "That was amazing, I just had an annoying Lycan in my head screaming very s****l thoughts at me."

I giggle because I know what he means. Katya hasn't stopped flashing images in my head of Dimitri and I.

"You have a beautiful laugh." Dimitri says with a smile. His smile is infectious.

"Thank you."

"I should go and consult my guards and your warriors. If it's ok with you I'd like to have dinner just us tonight. Get to know each other better."

I nod thinking that would be nice. Getting to know him might make me feel better about the situation.

"Mason would also like to see you in his office." Dimitri says with a grimace before getting up. "But you need to eat first."

I nod and pull the tray of food onto the bed and start eating as he leaves the room.

As soon as I finish Lennox appears in the doorway.

"Are you ready to go my Que-." I give him a glare. "Sorry, Aurora."

"Yeah."

I get up and we head to masons office. I knock and walk inside leaving Lennon behind the door on guard. Mason is sitting at the desk looking slightly dishevelled.

"You rang?" I ask smiling hoping to lighten the mood. His expression doesn't give me any comfort.

"Yes. I have some papers I need you to go over." He stands up and hands me a stack of papers. I grab the papers from his hand. Divorce papers. How did he get these written up in less than a day? How long had he had these?

"You seem to be prepared. Happy to get rid of me?" I tried to make it come off as a joke but part of me thinks it might be true.

Mason grabs a glass of scotch on the desk and chucks it at the wall sending glass shattering everywhere. The smell of booze on him becoming more evident. Scaring me. He has never been one for violent outbursts.

"I'm not happy about this, Aurora. I never wanted this. I love you." He comes around the desk and pulls me into a hug. Yesterday this hug would've been everything I needed but today it feels weird. It feels uncomfortable.

Mason leans down and touches his lips to mine. Pulling me into a deeper kiss, I notice that it doesn't feel as good as it once did. Familiar but now I've felt a kiss with a mate and I can see why people crave it.

*knock knock*

"Aurora, I'm gunna need you to stop. King Dimitri can feel that." Lennox announces from outside the door. Dimitri must've mindlinked him.

Mason lets go of me and walks back behind his desk. I stand there with the divorce papers in my hands. Not sure of what im supposed to say.

"King Dimitri had them written up overnight. I didn't. I don't know what they say but I know you'll let me know if they are unfair." Mason pipes up. I know our divorce was inevitable now but the fact that Dimitri went out of his way to get it all started rubs me the wrong way.

"Im sorry Mason."

"You have nothing to be sorry for. I'll be okay and you'll be queen. I know you'll be the most amazing queen." Tears well up in my eyes. Im losing my best friend.

"Did you find anything else out about the attack?" I ask hoping to avoid my feelings.

"Not really, just that they were attacked and they left the note."

"I had a question about that. How did he know Dimitri was my mate?"

"What'd you mean?" Mason looks at me questioningly.

"In the note, he said he'd take his Queen. Everyone knows he is unmated, or was unmated. He would've had to been in our pack house to see that. Or...."

"Or we have a mole. You're right Aurora. Why didn't I think of that?" I shrug at his question. Mason gets up and opens the door looking for Lennox.

"Prince Lennox could you mindlink the king to come here?" He asks. Oh s**t I haven't been calling Lennox by his title. Was he disrespected? Should I have been? Omg he hates me.

"Of course." All three of us stand there waiting for Dimitri to arrive. As he walks in the door I'm hit with a wave of desire. He looks amazing. He had clearly been training with our warriors and was in a pair of gym shorts and sneakers. No shirt. It showed off his tall and muscular frame. His shaggy blond hair pushed out of his face and his forehead still glistening with sweat.

I can feel myself getting wet with the thoughts of him running through my head. A low growl emanates from his chest as I meet his eyes and he throws me a cheeky grin and wink.

"Mmhmm..." Mason clears his throat getting our attention. "The Alpha of Red Cliff pack has a spy in our pack."

"What? How? Who?" Dimitri asks.

"Aurora brought up that there's no way he should've known you found your mate. Especially that quickly."

"Holy shit." Dimitri says wrapping and arm around me and kissing my forehead. I smile at the act and it feels almost normal. Which makes me feel guilty. "You're a genius."

"Not really it was basic reasoning." I say with a shrug.

"Maybe for you but all I saw was someone threatening me."

"Well we need to find out who it is."

"Where do you think we should start?" Dimitri asks me and I feel a sense of satisfaction at the thought of him already asking me for my opinion. Either he already cares for me or already trusts me which makes me warm at the thought of being his mate.

"Question staff about any pack members who left the dining hall yesterday abruptly." Dimitri nods in agreement then turns to Lennox and gives him a distinct nod. Lennox turns to walk out the door.

"Take my Beta with you." Mason speaks up. Lennox nods and leaves. I'm assuming to get Derek and the other Lycans.

"Shouldn't we go question them?"

"No." Both of them say in unison. I feel as if I've missed something.

"Aurora, he threatened to take you."

"So...?" I ask.
