The King's Alpha

5. It's never a good idea to tick off a wolf

Nicolaas POV

To say that I was angry was a complete understatement. I was f*****g pissed off. I was all set and ready to go to South Africa because honestly I had been putting it off long enough and then the elders called for a lost minute meeting for my coronation. A meeting that couldn't happen in the morning because no life had to make sure I could go to Soth Africa at all... Life had to make sure that I had to wait to see her.

Karmin. The new Alpha of the recently merged pack Die Klien Bay. I hadn't seen her since her parents funeral since the day my world really turned upside down... The day when she found her mate. My wolf wanted to challenge him right there and then for her but as far as I knew she only ever saw me as a friend or protective older brother... So I stayed away letting her deal with the loss and taking over of the pack. Even after I heard about her challenging her mate and rejecting him I still didn't go see her. I wasn't about to be King and my father could not get away to go sort out the mess. We had sent an adviser to check up on things but once he gave his report my father saw no need to rush over there.

I read the report. She had done an amazing job but to be honest I knew she would. So here I was looking at this message she sent me and not paying any attention to the elders and what they were saying. "Your Majesty I said I am glad to hear that you have finally decided on a chosen mate to make your Queen." I looked at them with a blank expression. "What the hell are you talking about?" I demanded from them. They all looked scared. Good I thought, even though I would never hurt anyone in my pack I needed them to still have a little bit of fear for me. I looked at them waiting for one of them to tell me what the f**k they meant. "Um well your Majesty we hard that you had decided to take a chosen mate and were going to crown your Queen"

What the f**k. I had made the decision to take a chosen mate but I hadn't spoken to anyone about it or even who is was.... Oliver. I had told Oliver but I knew he wouldn't have said anything unless... "f**k" I growled out loud. This time I have had it. "ALEXIA!! GET THE f**k TO MY OFFICE NOW!!! OLIVER YOU BETTER COME AS WELL." I yelled through the mind link. with in moments both siblings where standing in my office in front of all the elders including their father.

I was done with her. I was done with her and her mother's tricks to try get her daughter up the social ladder. For me this was too flippen far. "Alexia why the f**k have you been going around telling everyone that I am taking a chosen mate and that I will be crowning her during my coronation?" I say as calmly as I possibly could. I could see both my Beta and his father's faces go red. They both knew what their Alexia and her mother were trying to do. They had been trying to do it all our lives.

Alexia's eyes went wide and her face paled.... "Answer your future King!" Oliver hissed at his sister. " I.. I over heard you speaking to Oliver, telling him how you had made up your mind and who to ask to be your chosen mate. You talked about how you have known her almost your whole life and how you... um have had feelings for her for a while. You both agreed that she would be a great fit because her and her family have been close to yours for so long.... Oliver gave you his.. his blessing. I... I thought you had finally decided to ask me. I just.. I just got excited thats all. I'm sorry I should have let it come from you about our joining of hands." She bowed her head acting as if in shame that she let some hug secret of ours slip. She has always been like this. Thinking that there is no one else I could possibly want other than her. I honestly thought her crush would go away.

She was two years younger then Myself and Oliver and even though she we had been close it was more of a little sister type love than actually wanting her. Don't get me wrong she was very pretty and as a beta female one of our top fighters male or female but she just wasn't the woman for me... The one I have loved for most of my life.

"You stupid f*****g brat" Oliver hissed. We all looked at Oliver. "He wasn't speaking about you, you stupid stupid girl! How many times do I have to tell you that this "secret love affair" you have with Nic is all in your f*****g head!" It was becoming clear that he had forgotten that we were in a room filled of people. I got up. " I want to make one thing very clear and that you ar all to spread the word. I have decided to take a chosen mate but she is not from this pack. I haven't even spoken to her about it yet and I will not be crowning my Queen at the coronation. Do I make myself clear!" Everyone swallowed and nodded their heads. " Now if you do not mind, elders I ask that you leave so that I can deal with this f*****g mess and waste of time."

It was time to deal with this once and for all. "Elder Derek. Please may you mindlink and ask your wife to join us." "Yes Alpha" and his eyes glazed over. The truth is Elder Derek was my father's Beta after Karmin's father left to take over his Mate's pack as she was the Alpha's daughter and had no intention of running the pack herself. When the next Generation took over the roles of the Alpha, Beta and Gamma, our fathers became Elders of the pack minus my father of course.

I mindlinked my Gamma John to come meet us. There was a knock on the door and John walked in... I was starting to get pissed off. I mindlinked John a whole 5 mind after Derek asked his wife to join us. . Where the f**k is she! My face is starting to get hot. I know I'm getting red and I can feel my wolf Will trying to come out. He is pissed and no one will like it if he is pissed. I yell through the mind link not even caring to only yell at her. "ALICE GET TO MY f*****g OFFICE NOW!" Will growled. oh yes my wolf was beyond pissed. He kept telling me to kill them. He was acting as if Karmin was our mate.

W:They disrespected our future Queen and you wanting to keep a calm head!

N: Stop acting as if she is our mate. We haven't even spoken to her as yet. We don't know if she even likes us!

I blocked him out. He needed to calm the f**k down. Just as I looked up Alice walked right into my office without knocking or anything. " Aaah my baby girl I am so so happy for you and to think I'm the mother of the future Queen aaah I can't believe everyone can eat their hearts out!" "ENOUGH!" Alice shut up and looked at me. Something clicked and her eyes went wide. " Ever since I can remember you two have tried to make something out of nothing. Trying to push us together. Trying to give me a love potion to make me fall in love with Alexia and all so that you two can climb the f*****g social ladder. Let's get one thing straight right f*****g now. Alexia I do not love you. I actually don't even like you at the moment. I am tired of this s**t and I will not have the both of you here when and if the woman I would like to be my Queen comes. I have made the decision you are both to leave the castle immediately. You are to move into a house that is designated for Elders.

Alexia you are stripped of your privileges that comes with being a member of the court. The only reason why I am not stripping you of your rank is because of your father and brother. Alice. You are stripped of all your privileges of being a member of the Royal court. You are stripped of all your privileges that comes with an Elder. Both of you are no longer allowed to step foot into the castle unless invited by either myself or my Queen." Alexia looked deathly pale but said nothing. Her nother on the other hand.... " How could you be so cruel!" "Mother shut up" looks like Alexia found her voice. " Now I want you out by tomorrow evening. Elder Derek you are more than welcome to carry on living in the castle but I will completely under if you would be moving with your mate" "Derek do something please!" His mate was now crying. "Enough Alice. You have completely embarrassed our family. You are lucky that the Alpha didn't banish you! Really f*****g love potions! When will you f**k just stop! Didn't work with his father so you try with his son!"

I just stood there. I had no idea that Alice had tried the same s**t with my dad back in the day. I guess I'll have to call him later about it. Alice stood there crying trying to curl up to her mate but Derek wasn't having any of it. He was angry very angry. "Alpha would it be fine if we could leave, we need to start packing." "But of course there is an empty house just out side the gates that I think will be perfect for you and your family" "Thank you Alpha" I gave them a nod and they both walked out, Alice started crying hysterically once the door close behind them. I turned to look at Alexia, I see some of the colour was coming back to her face and she was deep in thought. She looked up at me and I could see her temper finally rising... Here we go I thought.

" After everything that has happened between us you just want to throw me aside. After everything I've done and allowed you to do!" I took a deep breath. No one knew but her and I what had happened between us, to be honest it was only after the third time did I realize she was slipping me something in my drink and that's what made me really angry. It took me so long to realize what the f**k she was trying to do.

I could see the confused expression on Oliver's face but I didn't have to explain anything. "No one is better than me! No one! I am the best female fighter on this earth! I would give you strong pups to lead the pack to greatness! I am the only female you have spent most of your life with growing up!" " No your not. You are not the only female I have grown up with. You are not even the female I'm the closet too!" I could feel Will trying to take over. He was done with her s**t and he was done with the disrespect towards the woman I loved. I could feel my eyes go black as something clicked in her head.

"HER!!! YOU ARE THROWING US AWAY FOR SOME STUPID LITTLE SHE WOL...." I had her by the throat. Will wanted to kill her right there and then. "You will NOT disrespect her like that do you hear me! I have had it with you and your bullshit." "GET THE f**k OUT OF MY OFFICE NOW BEFORE I KILL YOU" She whimpered but turned and left immediately.

I sat back in my chair and looked at Oliver, it was clear her was confused and I felt like maybe he should know what was going on. "Sigh, Oliver why don't you pour is a drink and I'll tell you what's been happening." He poured us all a double scotch and we sat and drink in silence. " I always knew she had a crush on me, I mean it was clear as day. I thought over time as we got older and as she could see I was clearly not interested at her at all.. it would go away but it didn't and it just made her try harder.

Oliver I swear and you know this, I always had eyes for someone else but sometimes it would get tough, sometimes I needed to speak to get a females perspective on my emotions about Karmin because honestly I didn't know why the hell they were so strong for someone who wasn't my mate. The first time it happened was after Karmin's 18th birthday. I was devastated that we weren't mates and I just needed to get away. I was drinking in my room when your sister came in to find me. I was beyond drunk and one thing lead to another. But before we could finish I hear a gasp at my door. I stopped and realized that this wasn't the right thing to do so I sent her off.

I still remember thinking I could smell Karmin's scent but I was so drunk that I felt like I was imagining it. So I went to bed and slept it off." "Wait... you said you felt drunk? We never get drunk no matter how much we drink?" " Exactly, someone had slipped me something during the evening, but I didn't know when it happened or even where that glass was to have it tested thats how upset I was. Any way a year or so passed I noticed your sister trying her luck but I just wasn't interested, I was busy trying to find my mate and after another failed ball I woke up next to your sister in my bed. I had no idea what had happened or even remember having s*x with her but I could tell that we definitely did. I felt sick to be honest. I didn't want your sister and I knew I was never going to."

I could see Oliver and John thinking this over. I could see they were thinking how I just didn't know what the hell she was doing. But the truth was I wasn't as close to her as she thought we were. I was always distant to her, never rude but I wasn't like please come sit on my lap or tried to get close to her like I had with Karmin as she gotten older.

"The last time it happened was at the funeral of Alpha Mark and Luna Sofia. I wasn't expecting Karmin to find her mate that day so to say it threw me for a loop is an understatement. This time when I woke up with your sister beside me I knew what she had done. I hadn't had a single drop to drink until she rocked up at the hotel with a bottle in her hand. I was so angry with her and myself. I couldn't believe she had done this and Will was fighting me to kill her." Oliver's face paled a little. He knew better than most what type of monster Will can be if he wants. He has seen it with his own eyes, he has had to stop me a few times. He absent-mindedly ran his hand over the scar Will gave him on his chest. I shivered. I hated that I had done that to one of my best friends .

" By the look on her face when you mentioned the love potion I take it she didn't know you knew." " No I didn't say anything to her I had already decided what I was going to do with her. I wasn't going to banish her unless the woman I chose to be Queen wanted her gone and honestly that still stands." Oliver nodded his head. " You know if Karmin agrees, Alexia wont give her any peace. She will go out of her way to make her life a living hell... even from the out side of the castle." " Sigh, I know but this isn't high school. She steps out of line and she is gone. Beta female or not. I have waited for her for far too long " " Alpha.. what if she doesn't want to leave her pack? What if she doesn't want to be Queen" I looked at John. "Been quite this entire time and this is what you finally say? Some mate you are." " Ya ya ya but I'm being serious. We all know you have had a soft spot for her since her first time coming here and I know that you fell inlove with her as she got older but still. I've heard only rumors of what had happened with her last mate, and to be honest I don't know if she even would want someone... I believe men have tried but failed."

I let out aloud growl. Just the thought of that mut who was even worthy to be her mate mate my blood boil, I didn't need to hear about hpw other men might have tried to get into her pants. At the end of the day regardless that she is a she wolf she is still an Alpha. and I know what it is like when a run just can't release the tension coursing through your muscles. I know what it's like when only a s****l release will do. I could feel Will coming to the surface. I look at my Beta and Gamma and they knew to get the hell out of there.

I walked out my office onto the balcony. With one motion I jumped off and shifted mid air. Will was pissed off.

W: No man will ever touch her again!

N: You are being a bit dramatic but I do agree. We won't leave until she agrees to be ours.

W: You better not! I'm not leaving Isabella again! She is mine!

I couldn't understand why he was like this. lately it had been getting worse, the need for Karmin to be with her in every way two people can be together was increasing and Will was giving me a headache. We stopped by the lake and I shifted back to my human form. I stood there and look over the water. Not many people know about this place and because of that it makes it the best place to just come and think.

I remember the last time I stood by this lake. It was the last time Karmin was here. I had shown her this place a few years before told her it was my place to think to calm down when the beast inside was raging. I had just come back from another pack who was hoping that their daughter was my mate. I still remember feeling like a failure that maybe the Moon Goddess didn't have a mate for me not that I would blame her.

It was starting to get cold the air turning white as I breathed out. As I got closer to the lake I realized that she was there swimming. I stood frozen as I watched her slowly get out the water. The shirt she was wearing hugging her body, making me wish I could just rip it off and see her. I could make out the outline of her perfect breast and a hard n***le which I desperately wanted to suck into my mouth. The breeze changed and I could smell her arousal. I still remember how my heart beat increased and my breathing quicken. I could smell her arousal getting stronger and she turned in my direction and did something I wasn't expecting.

She slid her hand between her legs and started playing with herself. I could hear how wet she was from her fingers sliding in and out. Will was trying to break out to go claim her right there, but I just couldn't let him. As she was about to c*m I swear I heard her whisper NY name but I wasn't sure... I turned around and ran.

Looking down at myself now, I was painfully hard. so I did what I always did when I revisited this memory. I fisted myself so hard that my c*m was just dripping down my front. I sighed. One day little one... One day ill get to taste you. With that I cleaned myself shifted and left.

Soon I thought. Soon.
