The Lonely Alpha

A New Beginning

Aria POV 

A few hours later, we had arrived at the borders for my new pack. The entire car ride over was silent, only a few words being exchanged between Nicholas and his beta. After crossing the border, we made our way to the pack house, which sat on a sprawling 12 acres of property. The truck cruised to a stop in and guards started to stream out, checking the area. My door was thrown open and after nearly spilling out onto the ground, a pair of strong arms grabbed me. I looked into the kind eyes of the guard that caught me and murmured a quick thanks.   

“Your welcome, Luna,” he said. I gathered myself and walked around the truck to get a better look at the house. It was a recently remodeled mansion, which boasted a height of at least 3 or more stories. Tendrils of ivy curled up the sides, giving it a rustic charm. The landscaping was beautiful, it allowed the house to blend into the scenery effortlessly. I heard a throat clear behind me and turned around to see Nicholas and his beta, looking at me with amused expressions. I blushed and caught Nicholas’ eye. My heart beat quickened again and I felt a tugging sensation in my heart. His smell of sandalwood and mint wafted over me. I found my mate!, I rejoiced silently. Olympia whimpered in my head again. I felt another blinding pressure in my head. This time, I knew exactly who it was. 

Mate, I heard the voice whisper. I wanted to run into his arms and run my fingers through his hair. I imagined smashing my lips against his, his hands roaming my body... 

Just then, I felt a sharp pain in my head as the mindlink was torn away. Nicholas, who had a confused look on his face, turned cold. I wanted to scream out in agony, the pain was so bad. His beta, sensing what was happening, reached out towards me. 

“Hello, Luna. My name is Jacob and I am Nicholas’ beta, his second in command,” he says. He has playful brown eyes and a mop of blond hair on top of his head. He stood an inch shorter than the Alpha but seemed just as powerful. I curtsied slightly in his direction. “Hello, Jacob. It is nice to meet you.” Remembering my training, I bowed to the Alpha. “Hello, Alpha. You have a lovely home,” I say. 

Smirking at me, Nicholas says, “You are Luna in title only. You are only here to keep up appearances and appear at my side for events. We will not share a marital bed, ever.” His words stung and I fought back the urge to cry. I was not going to give him the satisfaction of getting to me. I nodded stiffly and replied sarcastically, “Understood, sir. May I go to my room now?.” Nicholas narrowed his eyes as Jacob roared with laughter. Nicholas shoved my suitcase towards me and said,” Grab your things and head upstairs. I’ll expect you in my office in an hour.” 

He brushed past me and walked inside. Jacob hung back, watching his Alpha leave. “He seems like an ass but he can be pretty cool sometimes. Just give him a chance.” And with that, he walked inside, leaving me to wonder what I just signed up for.

Nicholas’ POV 

I slam my office door shut, infuriated. How dare she speak to me like that, I thought. I sat down at my desk, trying to get her sweet smell out of my mind. Jasmine and rose petals, I thought. It was damn near impossible to concentrate on the car ride over. I almost wanted to take her right then and there. My wolf, Zeus, spoke to me. She is our mate, he said. The moon goddess herself sent her to you. I ignored him as I poured myself a drink. I can’t take a mate, Zeus. You know why, I replied back to him. Her scent clogged my nostrils again and I clenched my teeth in protest. Go to her, Zeus said. I gulped the whiskey down, feeling the burn in my throat.  

I can never take a mate, I told myself. I remembered the promise I made to my father almost five years ago. I leaned back and closed my eyes. I could picture Aria vividly in my mind. Her long, wavy black hair that fell to the middle of her back, her soft green eyes clashing against her golden skin. Full and beautiful pink lips and freckles that lightly danced across her tiny button nose. Pure perfection, I thought. I heard my door open and close. I peeked through my lashes to see Jacob standing in front of me. I sighed as I poured another drink. 

Jacob waited patiently. “Well, is she?,” he asked eagerly. I waited a beat before answering. “Yes, she is indeed my mate. Zeus howled at the sight of her,” I say dully. I flashed back to when I first laid eyes on her. I almost shouted in delight, I was so happy to see her. Jacob celebrated a moment before taking note of my expression. I held my head in my hands, my father’s words ringing in my ears.  

“What’s the problem,” Jacob asked. “You of all people should be rejoicing. You can keep your wolf now!,” he exclaimed. At 24, I had never had a mate or even went out searching for one. I was told by our pack’s witch doctor that I was in danger of losing my wolf if I didn’t find my mate soon. I scoffed at the idea of losing Zeus but I noticed in the recent months, Zeus and I haven’t been communicating as much. I only hear him sporadically now and it was starting to become concerning.  

A strong Alpha needs no Luna, a strong Alpha can lead his pack into victory, I heard my father say. Even though it had been many years since his passing, I can still hear his message in my ears. I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts and tuned back in to what Jacob was saying. 

“What are you going to do now?,” he asked. “Will you mark her as yours?” 

“No. My wolf may feel a bond with her but I don’t,” I say, lying through my teeth. “This is simply a marriage contract and nothing more.” 

Jacob looked at me, sadness etched on his face. “I can’t tell you what to do but I think you are making a big mistake.” He gave me one last look before heading to the door. As he opened it, Aria was on the other side, poised to knock. She looked surprised to see Jacob standing there but quickly regained her composure.  

“I-I'm here. You asked me to meet you?,” she said to me hesitantly. I motioned for her to come into the office. “Sit down, we have some business to discuss," I say to her.  I looked at Jacob, hoping he would get the hint. He got the message and left the room, closing the door behind him. Aria sat down in front of the desk, nervously looking around.  

I drank more whiskey and focused my attention on Aria. She returned my gaze, a fire burning beneath those beautiful eyes of hers. 

“How old are you?,” I asked. She raised an eyebrow at the question but answered. “I’m nineteen years old.” 

“Are you a virgin?,” I asked sharply. Aria’s cheeks flushed and she nodded her head meekly. “I am,” she replied. “You would be my first.” I drew a sharp breath at her answer. She peeked at me through her long lashes, gaging my expression. I adjusted myself in the chair before pressing on. Picking up my glass, I examined it contents before downing the rest. Good ole liquid courage, I thought. Her smell drifted over again and I felt myself melt like putty with her just being in the same room as me. No weak alphas, I heard my father say. 

“As Luna, you are expected to perform certain duties,” I explain. “That includes welcoming guests, hosting events, going over pack schedules, etc. Those are your day to day concerns.” Aria nodded, following along. “Since we are ‘married’,” I say, putting my fingers in quotation marks, “You are expected to serve me as well. I will expect you to service my every s****l whim and bear me at least one pup,” I tell her. I put some force into the last part, her eyes widening at the thought of having my pups and she begins to blush. 

Holding her head down, she whispers, “Yes, Alpha.” I smirked at her submission as a thought popped into my head. I press the secret button on the underside of my desk, locking the door. I walk in front of her, unbuckling my pants. Her head lifts at the sound and her mouth forms a tiny ‘o’ as she realizes what is about to happen. I pull my pants down and my erection springs free. Aria’s eyes take in every inch of my d**k as I slowly stroke it with my right hand. I take my left thumb and place it against her lips. 

“Open wide baby,” I say, the liquor taking full effect. Aria opens her mouth and I slowly push my thumb in, her mouth already hot and waiting for me. Slowly, I start dragging my thumb in and out, matching the pace as I fingerfuck her mouth. Aria’s soft moans soon fill the room and I could smell her arousal. After a minute or two of this, I popped my thumb out of her mouth and Aria looks disappointed. I placed my tip on her lips and said, “Suck me off, baby.” 

Aria wrapped her lips around my d**k and slowly started to suck. I was getting a bit fed up with her pace, so I grabbed fistfuls of her hair and started to f**k her pretty little mouth. She’s a fast learner, I thought as she gulped me down with no problem. Soon, I was hitting the back of her throat, my groans becoming incoherent. I leaned back against the desk, my hand guiding her head up and down. I enjoyed the feeling of her wrapped around me and wondered what it would be like to f**k her. All in good time, Zeus said, enjoying the show.  

“Ah, s**t. Get ready, baby,” I warned her. I felt the familiar tightening sensation and let out a growl as I finally came, my seed bursting all in her mouth. I held her head there for a moment, waiting until I was completely finished. I pulled out of her mouth with a plop, stuffing myself back into my pants.  

“Swallow,” I commanded. I watched as she swallowed every last drop, licking any remaining drops on her lips. I sat back down in my chair, watching her carefully. Her eyes shone brightly and her cheeks were flushed after what just happened. I wanted nothing more than to take her up to my room and show her who her Alpha is but I restrained myself. I sighed and said coldly, “You are dismissed. Go get cleaned up.” I turned away from her but not before seeing the hurt look on her face. I waited until she out of the room before pouring another drink.  

No weak Alphas.
