The Betas Forbidden mate

Onyx

XIA JR

Mid-conversation, alpha blacks eyes clouded over. Someone must be mind linking him. Moments later, Roger alpha blacks gamma storms in.

Take ash to my private wing. I've already contacted the pack doctor. Then meet me in the dungeon ASAP. I want this handled quickly and quietly. Roger nods then exits with ash in tow.

Alpha black what's going on?

Intruder, he says, without slowing his step. Right as he gets to the door, he stops.

This is the last time either of you will harm my child,your alpha. Accident or not, I'll kill you with my bare hands. Then he walks out slamming the door behind himself.

That was no mere threat. Ash is his pride and joy.My life been nothin but chaos.We have to do something different zion.

Lifting him bridal style gently so as not to wake him. Dreading each step to our room. The outcome of the conversation we have when he wakes up will determine whether we confront the long road ahead of us or lose our bond forever. The thought of losing him strains my heart.

Placing him gently on the bed, I stop just to take him all in. His lashes flutter as he sleeps. His chest rhythmically rising and falling in tandem with mine. I'm so sorry I overreacted. I don't want you to leave.

I'll give up everything to be with you. Just tell me what you want, my love, I whisper in his ear as I drift off to sleep.

I would never disrespect our bond by laying my hands on another person. For me, there is only you. I swear to the moon goddess above nothing or no one could ever extinguish these feelings I have for you. Even if you do not have a wolf. I would conquer the seven seas for you. All you need do is ask.you are my everything.

All seven? Zion whispered. Tracing the trail of tears on my face.

Every single one my love. I will spend the rest of my life proving just how much I love you. Please forgive me.I should have fought harder to you. I can only imagine the stress you've been under.

You have every right to be upset.I should have told you the whole truth from the beginning. I was afraid you wouldn't see me as an acceptable mate.

Little mate, I will love every version of you. In evey life time. I will always choose you. How are you feeling?

I'm exhausted, my head is on fire and I keep hearing a child cry.

A child? There aren't any children in the pack house. It probably has something to do with you collapsing earlier.

You just need more rest. We can talk in the morning if you'd prefer. Would you like some medicine little mate?

No, it's fine. Besides, the pack's medicine wont work on me.

Then what can I do to make you more comfortable?

A sea salt bath perhaps? My oxygens low it causing migraines.

Do the baths help?

It's only a temporary fix.

We will find a more permanent solution later. For now rest, I will go draw you a bath.

But zion can I ask you something?

You can ask me anything.

Tell me about yourself.we've been together for months and I know virtually nothing about you.

Do we really have to do this now?

At least tell me how you ended up in our pack? I did find it strange that no one noticed you entering the territory.

I was sent by my pod leader, who was in contact with Alpha Black to hunt down mya, the glamor assassin. He gave me access to the grounds on the condition that I be discrete and not cause a panic. One of my few conditions was that I always had access to a large body of water. That's how we ended up meeting at the lake.

Okay, that makes sense. whats a pod leader?

He's like our version of an alpha.when we are taken away from our family we are assigned a pod leader.They guide us and teach us how to protect ourselves.

Why would they take you? Is that how you became an assassin?

Pretty much. After several attacks on our species, this was a last resort for us to survive. There are a lot of myths surrounding my species.The truth is our numbers are dwindling. The less people know, the harder we are to kill.

Look, you've been full of questions. I will try to answer everything to the best of my abilities, but first you must promise to never repeat what I tell you.

Of course.So why don't you just breed more to improve your numbers?

We were practically extinct at one point, so many of my kind opt to keep their heads down and stay out of sight. Unlike most species, our body falls more into the natural selection category.

We can't reproduce unless both parents are strong, and our generics mix well. The best chances of that happening are with your life partner.

All the toxins in the water that have practically sterilized most of our males. The few who can reproduce usually impregnate multiple females just to keep our species from going extinct. If nothing changes in a few generations, there will be no one left to breed with.

And growing up in the Black Sea? Was it hard on you?

As hard as it would be on any child I guess.were trained to hunt and fight .Constantly forced to test out our skills. We are taught different techniques to adapt to any environment, like the kiss I used to speak your language, shapes shifting ect, etc.After a while you learn to turn off our emotions.Hints the bloodlust . As I am sure you can recall from our incident in the river.its horrifying. Even I'm scared of what I'm capable of. But with you, I'm no longer afraid, and I feel like for once I can rest easy.
