Alex's pov
after I walked octavia home, I headed back to my house. it was on the other side of the pack, and now I hated it since I'm so far away from Octavia.
when I got back, I went to my room seeing leyla sitting on the bed wearing some revealing clothes. I don't know why she kept trying. I haven't touched her since we marked and mated each other in the beginning, I hated that I ever touched her in the first place. I also don't know why she kept doing this because I told her that Octavia is my mate. she wasn't too happy about that because she knew that ment she would have to step down as the Luna of the pack.
"leyla, get dressed. You know I'm not going to do anything with you, especially now that my mate is here."
I watched her face screw up with fury. I knew that tonight was going to be a long night ever since I found her at my border and had Kyle take her to that cabin.
"I don't know why you didn't just reject her she is a lone after all. and I rejected my mate to be with you. this isn't fare. I'm the Luna of this pack, and I'm your chosen mate!"
I felt myself and axl getting mad. we didn't choose this it was forced on us.
"Leyla, you know damn well I didn't choose this for you or me. you and the world coucile chose this for me, but it was also stated that once I found my true mate that you were to step down from the Luna position. I never told you to reject your mate. You did that on your own. you knew the rules and consequences that followed with becoming the stand in Luna, and I made it clear from the get-go that I wasn't going to touch you more than I needed to. and. the only reason you still have the position is because octiva still has to adjust to pack life again."
I watched her get more and more angry by the minute. her face was twisted in a snarl, and her fists were clenched so tight that her knuckles were turning white.
"I've sacrificed so much for you, and you don't even care. you're ready to throw me out for someone who could be a spy for another pack. she could just be telling you a sob story just to get in here. I don't understand any of this, I mean, why I met my mate, I felt the pull, but I never felt love for him like everyone says is supposed to happen. I've don't so much for you and this pack, and you're just throwing it all away for some gir!"
I couldn't respond right away. I was fighting axl for control. he and I were both mad about the thing leyla was saying, and if I didn't gain the control, I needed axl was going to kill her.
once I gained control over my body, I let the alpha aura take over.
"leyla, you listen to me and let me make this crystal clear. she is not some girl she is my mate, the one I've been waiting for my whole life. I have and will never love or care about you the way I will and do about her. you didn't love your mate because you got it in your head that you deserved to be Luna by all means possible. you activly went out of your way to force any alpha possible to take you as a mate, not me. yes, you've done good as a Luna, but the part was never supposed to be yours anyway. You stole it from someone who was destined by the moon goddess to be Luna. your mate was a beta and you saw him as not go enough for you and that's your problem not mine or my mates problem... also you need to move out of my room. i am no longer willing to let you stay here now that I have a mate. you can have one of the guest bedrooms until octavia is ready to move. In then you'll be moved to the pack house."
I watched pain, anger, dispaire, and something else flit through her eyes before she masked it over with anger. she stood up and walked toward me, looking me in my eyes every step. that made axl even more angry, taking it as her challenging us.
"Let me tell you this alpha, I will leave this room because I can't believe how blind and selfish you are to me. but mark my words, you and that bimbo will regret the day she crossed that border and threatened my role as Luna to this pack."
that's where I lost all control. I reached out and grabbed her by her neck, squeezeing it hard enough to cut off all air supply. I was no longer in control of my body. the amount of fury running through my blood at how she just threated, not just me but my mate. I will not let this slide. I brought her closer to me and watched all the anger leave her eyes replaced with fear. good, she deserved it and much worse.
"leyla, I will not tolerate you threatening me or my mate. threatening me alone is punishment for banishment. do you want to be a rouge? threatening my mate or harming her in any way will be sentenst to the cells or get you killed. I don't care who you are or what role you have. I am the alpha of this pack, and what I say goes. leave my room now. I don't want to see your face. you can get your stuff tomorrow when I leave. until then, don't show your face to me."
i let go of her and watched as she fell to the ground, gasping for air. shd looked up at me with fear in her eyes. i've never reacted violently before, no matter how far she had pushed me, but threatening my mate was too far.
she stood up on shakey legs and quickly left my room.
when she was gone, i just stood there for a while thinking. i knew she was going to do something, but i didn't know what or when she would do it, and that's what made me nervous. i remembered i have a meeting that i have to travel to another pack in about a week. maybe i can convince her to come with me so nothing can not, i would have kyle watch her while liam takes care of the pack.
with that in mind, i made my way to the shower to clean up before going to bed.
after my shower, i laid in tossing and turning. my hear and wolf were begging me to go to octavia and be with her, but i knew i couldn't. i told her i would give her time, and i meant it. i wasn't going to rush her into anything that she wasn't ready for. it hurt, but i respected her and her desions. i knew she had already been through a lot, and i didn't want to add more to it because i am impatient.
with that in mind, i was finally able to go to sleep. a restless one with octavia and her silver and black wolf haunting my dreams
