Secrets of his Mate

Nine

Elana

Most people would've thought I had lost my mind if they were to find out I had willingly attended a party then made out with the man who kidnapped me just a day ago and held me hostage. Maybe I was indeed crazy. My obsession has driven me all the way to this point. Why stop now? There was little to nothing in my life I was embarrassed about and absolutely nothing would stop me from getting what I wanted.

But I had screwed up. I allowed my emotions to take over all of my rational thinking. So, I was going to do everything I could to keep Alessandro wrapped around my finger, even if it gave him blue balls. I needed to keep him close and ensure to control my composure upon my next opportunity.

After making myself vulnerable and placing myself at the right place at the right time to get into Alessandro's pack based on just a hunch, I succeeded in finding her. That b***h was here. She was his sister of all things, but she didn't live here. I should've sat with her and allowed her annoying, whining voice to talk my ear off and get inside her head. Unfortunately, I knew I wouldn't be able to look at her long. Her long face, bulging fisheyes, and short, flat hair made me want to puke. To anyone else, she must've looked like an average woman, but my hatred for her made each of her flaws pop.

I was furious with myself. I didn't expect to see her and lost all focus. There were so many ways I could have reacted and all I did was trigger a nerve in myself after rejecting her. I could've done way better than that. I was feeling like a failure even though there was so much more I wanted to know about this pack and about her. I had to remind myself I needed to come up with a thorough plan in order to strike. Acting on impulse would get me nowhere. I reminded myself the time would come.

Taking a deep breath, I stared at the door. A sudden realization hit me. Alessandro didn't lock the door behind him when he left moments ago, and I didn't hear him fetch a guard to stand watch. I quietly dashed to the door and slowly turned the knob. I peeked out between the small crack to be greeted with an empty hallway. It was completely silent except for the sound soft, husky moans intensifying in the next room. Suddenly I heard Alessandro groan and a thud hit the door with heavy breathing causing me to jump back. I wanted to laugh. The pig jerked off as soon as he walked out and barely made it into the next room.

I waited a moment for him to leave to make sure I didn't get caught roaming the mansion. He walked out with a giant smile, and I watched as he strode down the stairs before I followed barefoot stopping just before the top step. I peered down to see him talking to Roman briefly then taking off to a room nearby. After double checking that the coast was clear, I flew down the steps and entered the room. It was a massive, dark library that didn't appear to be used very much. Alessandro was at the end of the room pulling a book that opened a secret door.

The door shut and I tiptoed towards it. The fake book was easy to spot from the rest. I counted long enough to create space between us before pulling it. The door led to a cold, dark, stone stairway dimly lit by candles. It was a dungeon. I traced the steps down to the bottom where ceiling lights brightened the placed. I hid studying Alessandro's actions.

He was going from three prisoners’ cell to cell yelling and torturing them. He asked why they were after me. That made me raise an eyebrow. Not long after losing his patience, he beheaded two men and a woman. I looked at them closely and rolled my eyes when I recognized them. Stupid young wolves truly believing they could kill me was a joke. Now they were dead, and Alessandro still didn't have answers. A smile crept on my lips. He killed them in a bloodlust rage just to defend me. It was a bit of a turn on to be honest.

He shouted at his minions to clean the mess and I moved my feet rapidly to hide behind a wall as he walked back up to the mansion without glancing back. After the large men dragged the lifeless bodies, I made my way down a row of cells in the opposite direction. There were two men locked in cells at the very end. The first was a very tanned bald man who looked at me with curious, tired eyes, but didn't speak as he took heavy, deep breaths. The second was pale in comparison with dirty blonde hair and green eyes. Both had dried blood all over them, but the blonde had way more and was covered in welts and bruises.

The blonde smirked at me as I took my time examining them. "Who are you?" He asked cockily.

"I have a few names, but I like to go by Elana," I said flatly. "I'm now also being called, Luna."

He grinned shamelessly. "What an honor it is to meet Alpha Alessandro's mate. Of course, you would hot as fuck." I rolled my eye as he continued. "Now tell me, Luna, did you come down here just to look around? Cuz I could use a lap dance from a fine ass girl like you."

I laughed at him and stepped up to the cell pressing my body against it. "I don't even know your name yet."

"I'm Alpha Ethan. My buddy next door is my Beta, Lucas."

"Well, Ethan, what are you in for?"

He chuckled. " Long story short, I tried to kill your mate. I guess he didn't like that very much."

"Naughty, naughty," I teased shaking my head.

"If you think that's naughty, why don't you unchain me, and I can-"

"Oh, shut up," I demanded coldly moving away from the cell looking bored. "You can't do a damn thing to me," I laughed.

Alpha Ethan became angry. "Do you think some little human like you could stop me from doing anything I want to you?"

I couldn't help but smirk. "You have no idea what I could do to you."

He looked me up and down as if studying my features. "Why don't you show me what you can do then?" he dared becoming aroused.

"Oh, I will," I assured him. "Another time though. You might be useful to me later on."

"I can't wait." He winked at me.

I began taking slow steps away from him. "By the way, your buddy there is dying." He was a sad excuse for a wolf in his position. It was pitiful how rapidly he was fading.

Ethan's face turned red. "Lucas is that true?"

"Yes," he barely whispered.

I laughed. "Lucas is that true?" I mocked as I left them in a panicked state.

When I reached the end of the row of cells, I looked to make sure Alessandro's large men weren't in sight before skipping up the steps. I pressed my ear against the door to hear Alessandro's voice on the other side.

"We need to talk," he said. "Let's go to my office."

"Yes, Alpha," another voice answered.

After a moment, I glanced through the door. The library was empty, and I made my way across before making sure the coast was clear and running to my room. I showered and wore a large tee shirt with nothing under but a lace thong. I laid in bed thinking about my eventful day before falling into a deep sleep.

In the morning I woke up to a hand going through my hair. The action made my eyes flutter open.

"Good morning, Love. How did you sleep?" Alessandro sat next to me on the bed staring at me with a big smile on his face. He bowed his head attempting to kiss me.

I backed away quickly. "What do you think you're doing?"

A pained, confused look appeared on his face. "I just thought... After last night..."

"That was then," I said abruptly. It was fun toying with this man's emotions. He had no clue how I was feeling one minute to the next.

"But we were having such a good time yesterday. We made out. We almost had s*x!" he almost whimpered.

I laughed. "You say that like it was something magical."

"You don't think so?" He looked hurt.

I couldn't help but smirk. "Are you a virgin?"

He sighed heavily. "No," he said as if he was ashamed. "There's been a few times I lost hope in finding my mate. I was very drunk though and it meant nothing, I swear."

"Calm down," I giggled. "It's just sex."

"Just s*x?" he asked shocked at my choice of words. "That's supposed to be the most intimate thing between mates!" He thought for a moment. "How many men have you had s*x with?"

"Don't ask questions you don't wanna know the answer to," I warned.

He shook his head. "I think I need to know."

"You don't need to know that. You're just trying to be nosy, but if you really must know," I sat up under the blankets and faced him. "A lot... and a few women," I shrugged.

His jaw almost hit the floor. He looked at me carefully. "You're not kidding, are you?"

"Nope." I adjusted the blankets on my lap letting him take in the information. I watched as his face changed with each thought. He was probably imagining me with different men in different positions. I could've rubbed it in and gave him actual visuals, but I think I set him off enough for the morning.

"I don't understand. You're supposed to be..."

"A lady? Pure? Have self-respect?" He was at a loss for words. "Trust me, I've heard it all before. No matter what anyone says, I will do whatever I want with whoever I want whenever I want. I don't regret a damn thing and would do it again if I feel like it."

He looked down to the floor. "No," he growled. "Your past is your past, but you are mine now!" In a swift motion he gripped my throat and pressed lightly. My eyes widened in surprise as I looked into his that were fuming. "You are supposed to be a Luna and you will act like it! Do you understand me?"

A smile appeared on my face. It was the small, controlling act and his demanding voice that oddly turned me on. It had me replaying last night's incident.

Alessandro looked at me confused and release his grip. "Are you getting off on this?"

I laughed. "Maybe. Is that a bad thing?"

"I want you to want me the way I want you. I don't want you to sleep with me just because you're horny."

"Well, that's too bad," I said coldly.

He looked at me with so much pain in his eye. Tears filled them before he stormed off slamming the door.
