The Alpha’s obsession

Chapter five

“Hey? Liya?” The voice sounded distant, faded. Her head throbbed with pain

“Liya are you okay?” Her eyes opened slowly, and she inhaled. The night air felt warm and soothing.

“Liya talk to me, who did this? What happened?” Chloe, she was here. She could make out a blurry figure hovering above her face. She blinked, opening her eyes wider this time and as she saw the worry-etched face of Chloe, it came back to her.

"I’ll be okay, you’re here.” was all she could manage in a voice hoarse from pain and dehydration. “Yeah I’m here, let’s get you home.”

“What about your mate.?” she manages to croak.

“It's okay, he is not in town.”

Merliya felt herself being picked up.

The next morning Chloe woke her up she was in her house. “Stand up, you can tell me what happened over breakfast. Liya stood up and they moved to the kitchen with Chloe’s help, where she narrated everything that had happened over the past two days and nights to Chloe.

Merliya’s bones had mostly mended themselves over the course of the previous night but she still had bruises all over and couldn’t walk properly yet and she still felt mostly exhausted so after her late breakfast, Chloe helped her back to the room where she soon passed out sleeping.

Chloe woke her up sometime in the night “You know, you should come out with me,”

“You really do need a night out after these past few days, don’t you? You could honestly use the fun and drinks and we’d catch up. Sound’s nice don’t it?” But Merliya was still

Nursing her broken heart had no interest in leaving the bed. Two weeks later Chloe tried again and right as Merliya was about to decline once again she she felt a tug on her chest which progressively grew into a dull ache and then a sharp pain.

Just then, it hit her. She knew exactly what was going on, her fated Mate was having s*x with someone, and until she mated with someone else she would keep feeling the pain whenever he had s*x. Life was pretty cruel. After that

Liya couldn’t say no, not when he was out there sleeping with other people and living his life. So she agreed to go out and chose to Chloe dressing her up in a sleek dress and drive them to the club.

They did go out but had to go out of town because Merliya could risk having any Pack members see her. Chloe agreed and so they drove out of town and stopped at this nice bar and nightclub way out of Pack territory.

Chloe suddenly looks over Merliya's shoulder and gives her a wink. Before Liya has a chance to ask where she’s going or what is going on, she feels a presence behind her and then a light tap. He was tall, muscular and exuded power. Even stronger than what she felt with the beta.

“May I?” His voice was deep and somewhat soothing. His black eyes were deep and mysterious as their eyes met, she felt pulled in. “Please,” She waved towards the chair and he sat. “My name is Jake."

“Liya” She answered,

"Liya, what a beautiful name for an equally stunning woman. What brings you to this bar tonight?"

"Thank you, Jake. Just needed a break from the usual routine. How about you? What's your story?"

"I saw this place and thought, 'Why not? Maybe I'll meet someone intriguing.' And well, here you are, proving me right."

Merliya blushed at that "Flattery will get you everywhere, Jake. So, do you often have luck meeting intriguing people?" She was surprised by how smoothly this was going.

"Only on lucky nights like this one. What about you, Liya? Ever find yourself swept off your feet in a bar before?" He teased.

"I can't say it's a regular occurrence, but who knows what tonight holds? Maybe I'll break the pattern."

"Maybe we both will." He smiles at her.

She nearly gasped out loud as she felt the pain again. She looked at the glass in her hand and downed the contents, grimacing. She looked up from her glass and saw a couple leaving the club that bore a startling resemblance to her sister Davina and her boyfriend Ken. She blinked rapidly not believing her eyes and before she could get closer they were gone. No, it's not possible, her sister died in the fire. But she started to think about the conversation she overheard Ken having the morning of the fire she shook her head telling herself she had too much to drink because she didn't want to consider the alternative that her sister had something to do with it.

She looked up at Jacob and keeping eye contact with him, asked “Do you want to get outta here?” Jacob felt like he knew what she was implying but they had been drinking so he asked,

“Are you sure?”. At this Liya stood up and took his hand, leading him out of the bar. Even though she knew Dayn would not feel it if she f****d someone else until they had Mated for the first time, she intended to have s*x with this attractive stranger until she drowned out the pain that she was feeling.

She led him outside behind the bar where they practically ripped each others’ clothes off, sucking at each other’s lips passionately. He picked her up against the wall, easing away her panties as he entered her moist warmth, repeatedly thrusting with all that he was. They howled out their hearts as they climaxed together, there under the light of the new moon. They decided to get a room in the motel behind the bar where they spent the night, frolicking throughout the night.

The next morning Jacob stirred as he woke up, he reached out beside him to touch Merliya but frowned as his hands found only sheets. He turned sharply to look and saw that the bed was indeed empty, he glanced around the room quickly then stood up and looked around.

No sign of Merliya.

His eyes caught something on the bedside table. He walked over and picked it up, it was her earring. It carried so much of her scent and Jacob groaned as he lifted it to his nose and drank in her sweet, dark, luscious scent. Impulsively he picked up the bedside table and flung it against the opposite wall, he bared his fangs and growled,

“My room, NOW!” He growled loudly into it. A half minute later, a tall huge figure burst into his room and took a knee as he saw Jacob.

“Yes, Alpha?”

“You will find her for me. And she’s likely carrying my heir so you better do it quick. You will use all resources available to you, you will use all your might, I do not care if you turn over every stone in the kingdom. Do you understand?"

“Yes Alpha." the guard stood up and made to leave. “Stop, smell this.” Jacob reached out his left hand and the guard took a whiff of her scent in the earrings, “That is her scent. And one more thing. She doesn't know I'm the Alpha.”

Jacob turned and looked out his window, he had his jaw set and arms akimbo. He was going to use everything he had as Alpha king to find her. He had known immediately he entered her that he was her first and now he was going to make sure that he was her last. He would scour the kingdom and find her. She was to be his, no matter what is takes.
