Her savage Mate

The choice

Alexander Pov.

I sat behind my work desk, waiting for Roy's to climb the stairs to my office. From the moment they entered my territory I knew their every move.

This office is mainly used for that - showing power and intimidation.

One of the alphas called it my throne room, where I listen to the commoners' problems.

Well, it was not entirely a lie, people that visit me always want something from me. They usually want protection from other packs or rogue werewolves, and my pack is the only one strong enough to defend them.

I could hear the front doors open as my beta Mat led them to my office. He knew this routine well, we always dealt with official visitors the same - he leads them into my den and I scare the s**t out of them. Then they beg for help, and we decide if it is worth our time.

But this time it felt a little bit different. I was not sure why they came here today, and that bothered me.

The deal was that I would come to them on Sunday to pick her up. We would get married, and her father gets protection from the Underworld pack alongside a million dollars.

Simple.

So why the f**k are they here?

The doors to my office opened and Mat stepped in, followed by alpha Maverick and my bride-to-be Amelia. For some reason, my eyes immediately went to her. She looked calm and cold, completely unbothered by what was going on… s**t, have I made a mistake and she is not sane?

But then she lifted her eyes and met mine for a second… and I knew that she was completely sane… well okay, that is a far reach to say that when I hadn’t even talked with her yet, but her eyes showed more intelligence than her father's did. Which intrigued me a bit more and was a great sign.

She turned her eyes away immediately, so I turned to her father.

Meeting her eyes first, was a clear sign of disrespect to him as an alpha. This was not planned on my part, but I liked how it played out. This man, no matter what the situation is between us, shouldn’t have come here unannounced like he did, I think he is forgetting who is in charge here.

For a moment he refused to meet my gaze, and when he finally worked up the courage to do so, his whole demeanor changed. Gone was the proud alpha and in his palace was a scared little pup. He looked completely opposite to his daughter, there was so much fear radiating from him that I even scrunched my nose from its stench.

“Alpha, miss, please take a seat.”

Mat gestured for them to sit down in the two chairs in front of my desk, while he himself walked around to stand at my side, a bit further back in the room.

Maverick turned his gaze away from me and sat down, dragging his daughter alongside him. His fingers wrapped around her forearm and from the slight intake of breath, I knew that he was hurting her… and that didn’t sit right with me. I am not one to save damsels in distress, and she did not look like one, but I felt the need to rip his hand out of its socket just for touching a hair on her body. I am sure, because in my mind she was my property and I can’t stand when people mess with what is mine.

I had to take a few deep breaths to calm my wolf down, before we did something stupid like killing him right here and now. Sure it would solve a few of my problems a lot faster, and it would feed my bloodlust, but it would also cause a lot more s**t than I had time to deal with, so I pulled my wolf under control as I stared at him with one of my trademark death glares.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you two here, alpha Maverick?” I said with a smirk on my face.

Amelia sat there in front of me not making any eye contact, she was looking around the room, studying it… smart girl. A room like this can tell a lot about the person who it belongs to, or at least the message the person wanted to send.

My office has a feeling of royalty and authority in it. A big dark oak desk, few bookshelves, the walls had little decor on them: a few pack photos and a map of our land. At the side of the room stood a big leather couch and that's it. Minimalist, but impactful… just like I was.

I caught myself staring at her for too long and I had to force myself to look away, but my mind was still concentrated on the way she looked.

Before today, I had never paid attention to her.

She existed in my mind, but more as a fact than a person.

She was the third daughter out of five. There was very little information about her and only a few rumors that sounded a bit too fake to be true, especially looking at her right now. I highly doubt that she f****d a whole every man in her father's pack. Differently to her sisters, who I am sure did something very similar to that, she had this distance between her and everyone around. There were also rumors of her being a cold-blooded killer. Well, I can believe that to be true. She does have the coldness and energy around her that made my wolf senses take her as a bit of a threat.

To my surprise, she was quite fascinating.

Looking at her right now in broad daylight, I was sure that I made a good decision yesterday. She wore a dark dress that accentuated her curves, and both me and my wolf felt our mouths water a bit, alongside our d***s getting harder. The sight of her dark-colored lips made me think of ways I could use her mouth for pleasure… it made me think how good they would look wrapped around my c**k.

As if she felt me thinking about her, she turned her eyes to me again and met my gaze. Her deep green eyes made me stop for a moment. From the first glance, they looked empty and dead, but as you look at them for a bit more, it is clear that there is something behind all that.

“We came to talk about our arrangement.”

Her father's voice pulled me away from her eyes and I remembered the reason why she was here was still unknown to me.

“Is there anything to talk about? I am sure I made myself clear yesterday.”

”I wanted to check if you are still sure you want to marry Amelia, not any of my other daughters. They would be a better match than Amelia.”

His words annoyed me. Did he come all this was to question my decisions? Anger and annoyance started to brew inside of me, and the need to rip him to shreds returned.

“And why would you think I would choose those two over her?”

I gestured towards Amelia.

“ Well, she is not the modal Luna you are looking for… Amelia has a hard time controlling her wolf and overall she is not very good with people….”

I kept my eyes on Amelia the whole time her father ridiculed her in front of me. However, she never lost her cold and icy facial expression or even flinched at his cruel words.

Interesting.

”I have already made my choice. I need a wife to provide me with an heir. All I need from her is to be able to provide me with that. Everything else has little importance to me. Our pack didn’t have a Luna for the last 20 years, so I don’t see the point in changing my mind about such minor things as people skills. Especially to scoop so low as choosing your slut daughters. They will cause problems and probably will disgrace me the first chance they get. My decision stand.”

As I was answering, Maverick at the side of my eyes, I caught the change in Amelia's face. Her cold gaze was replaced with a confused look in her eyes, it was subtle, but it was the first emotion I saw her show.

It seems she didn’t expect me to stick with my previous decision. However, I couldn’t decide if she was happy about it or mad. Either it was, it didn’t really matter to me. The deal was made, and I would marry her in two days. Her happiness was least of my concerns when it came to this union.

“Okay, if you want to marry this fat freak, it is your choice. She will be your problem then.”

Maverick clearly was not happy with my choice and his words started to push patients towards this man.

Sure, I needed him, but it doesn’t mean I will let him talk like this to me, no matter how important he is to me, I will not be disrespected in my own home.

“ Do not forget where you are, Maverick. I will not repeat myself.”

The low growl in my voice stopped the raging alpha as he lowered his eyes as a sign of defeat. Disgust filled me as I looked at that pure excuse of an alpha.

“Is this all, or do you have something else to discuss? I’m a busy wolf, I don't have time to waste on you.”

“I also wanted to inform you that my pack's border control detected the Underworlds pack's hideout”

This reminded me why I was doing this and why letting him live was the better choice in this case.

“I will look into it, is that all? ”

“Yes, thank you for your time, we will be waiting for you on Sunday.”

He stood up, and his daughter followed. After bowing their heads, they turned on their heels and left. As she was leaving the room, I watched how her sexy ass swayed beneath the dress and her scent hit my nose.

Shit she smelled.

A mixture of freshness and deep notes of sexy flowers.

This scent made my mouth water.

I grinded to myself, my inner wolf purred in agreement, enjoying the sight in front of me. This is turning out to be a better deal than the original one, for sure.

As soon as they left my office, I mind linked my beta Mat and told him to come to my office immediately.

As I heard Roy's car pull away from the pack house, Mat walked through the door.

Mat looked like a typical guy next door: light blond hair, blue eyes and a face that girls fall for. But little did they know was that underneath all that charm and lightness was a completely different story. At times, I feel that he could give me a run for my money in cruelty and depravity. Well, maybe he was not as bad as I was, but really second to me. In the pack, everyone knew that he was not one to be messed with… and among the women there was an understanding that you don’t interact with him if you are not ready for some serious s**t. At all times, he has at least 3 s*x slaves that he visits regularly. Sometimes I think his s****l tastes were kinkier than mine.

“ What the f**k was all that? Did he really come here to try to change your mind? Why should he care who marries you as long as he has you as his ally?”

“Beats me. Maybe he is not sure if I would hold up the deal if I was not happy with his daughter? Or maybe his woman wanted to marry one of her other daughters.”

“The question is the same: why care? The moment you marry his daughter, the pack gets what it needs, and he will be rid of one of them. As far as I heard, he only cares about the oldest. The other ones were failed attempts for a son. So he should be happy that she stays with him, and we are talking about, one of the spares.”

“And wanna share how you got all this information? It is not in the official report.”

I asked, smiling, knowing full well where he got the information. He was f*****g his wife or some other high ranking member in the pack to know all this.

“A gentleman never tells”

I just shook my head at this, because it did not really matter, and it was time to return to business.

“He discovered the hideouts on his land. ”

“Finally, we will have a chance to catch those sneaky fuckers.”

His enthusiasm brought a smile to my face.

“We should plan to raid them next week. Make the preparations.”

“Will do, I will let the gammas know the plans.” he answered with a sneaky smile on his face.” So how's your future wife?”

“Don’t really care about her as long as she can give me a heir.”

“Well, I have to say she has a fine ass, so luscious and big…”

Max started growling with jealousy and possessiveness. I understood what he was doing, he was trying to get a rise out of me and see my reaction.

“She is your future Luna. Watch your mouth if you want to keep it. Be more respectable, dick.” I answered with a scowl. “ How are the preparations for the ceremony?”

“Everything is going well, the kitchen is preparing a feast, the sorcerer is preparing the ceremony, everything is going according to plan.”

“Good… now go back to work. I have some planning to do.”

“Yeah, yeah, planning. You are going to sit here dreaming about your future bride.”

“Do you need a reminder of who the alpha is here?”

“Oh, I know quite well your royal assholness.”

He answered while leaving with a grin on his face.

If somebody else talked to me in this way, they would already be dead, but Mat is my best friend, he gets a pass.

And I really didn’t want to look for a new beta, so I let s**t like this slide.

Amelia POV.

I felt sicker in my stomach the closer we got to the Blood Moon’s pack house.

I still wasn’t sure if yesterday's evening wasn’t a creation of my imagination. If you had told me two days ago that I would be engaged to the most ruthless and strongest alpha of our times, I would have laughed straight to your face. Well, maybe not laugh, but I would look at you like you were a crazy person for sure.

My father was fidgeting while sitting next to me. He seemed very nervous today. I think he was terrified of Alexander. Which was funny in its own way. An Alpha should be fearless and proud, but my father at this moment looked pathetic. He was more nervous than the guys that were asking my older sister Layla, the most popular girl in the Shadow pack, to a date or a dance. He looked like a pathetic teenager.

The more I looked at him right now, the more he looked like a desperate teenager scared out of his senses. His body language looked so familiar to theirs. I have seen it a million times. Boys were crawling around my sisters, trying to get their attention. One guy was so agitated he vomited all over Layla. She was so furious she even started crying, that was one of the most hilarious things I had ever witnessed.

My thoughts were interrupted because we arrived.

I let myself explore the beautiful mansion in front of us. The Blood Moons pack house seemed a mixture of classical and modern style. Some parts seemed like they were bullied a hundred years back, while others were finished only yesterday.

Father climbed out of the car, dragging me alongside him. For some reason, he seemed more annoyed with me than usual.

“Good morning, Alpha Maverick, Miss Roy.”

Alexander's beta greeted us at the front door.

” Please follow me, Alpha is waiting for us in his study.”

He gestured us to follow him into the building. We entered a big hall where yesterday's celebration was held. To my surprise, it was almost clean, impressive.

The Beta turned left, and we started climbing the stairs after him. On the wall next to the stairs hung old paintings, all of them were werewolf history, some of them I think illustrated legends about our origins, others showed different stages of a wolf transformation. They were beautiful.

On the second floor, we stopped in front of a big oak door. Without hesitation, Beta opened the doors and stepped inside, letting us follow him.

As I entered the darkroom, I saw him, sitting there like the true king he was.

His dark hair was brushed back with his fingers, giving him the just got out of bed look.

He was dressed in a dark t-shirt that fitted him like a second skin. I could make each and every muscle on his body and they were really impressive, even for an alpah. There were quite a few scars on his hands as well as tattoos.

If he didn’t look so terrifying, I would even call him hot.

My inner wolf Bree poured in agreement.

I thought you hated him. I asked her in my mind, but she didn’t answer me like usual.

“Alpha, miss, please take a seat.”

The Beta gestured to sit down. My father was the first to take a step forward. I followed him, keeping my head down, trying not to draw attention to myself. As I sat down, I let my eyes dart around the room, talking it all in. This place fit him very well, dark and intimidating.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you two here, alpha Maverick?”

Hearing his low, dark voice sent shivers down my back. I couldn’t resist curiosity and look at him again. As I lifted my eyes, I found him staring at me. His dark gaze mesmerized me and I could not look away, even if staring at him like this was a sure way to get myself killed.

I wasn’t sure how that was possible, but I think his eyes are really completely black.

The gaze was so intense, that I stopped breathing for a moment… maybe it was because I was completely terrified of him. I had to force myself to take a deep breath, but then his scent filled me. He smelled like a fresh forest, so masculine and alluring. Bree now was not only purring with pleasure, but also looked very interested in his dark gaze. I think she was turned on by him. That was the first time she had ever showed any sort of interest in any man. She always hated every person that we met.

“We came to talk about our arrangement.”

My father's voice drew the alpha's gaze away from me, and breathing became a bit easier. Why did he have such a strong effect on me? This is probably because he is such a strong alpha.

“Is there anything to talk about? I am sure I made myself clear yesterday.”

”I wanted to check if you are still sure you want to marry Amelia, not any of my other daughters. They would be a better match than Amelia.”

Okay, here we start. I had to get myself under control before I slipped up and ruined this deal for the pack by turning and attacking alpha Alexander. So I forced myself to look away and tune out what they were talking about.

“And why would you think I would choose those two over her?”

“ Well, she is not the modal Luna you are looking for… Amelia has a hard time controlling her wolf and overall she is not very good with people….”

Those words pushed Bree’s buttons like always, but I managed to keep a straight face.

”I have already made my choice. I need a wife to provide me with an heir. All I need from her is to be able to provide me with that. Everything else has little importance to me. Our pack didn’t have a Luna for the last 20 years, so I don’t see the point in changing my mind about such minor things as people skills. Especially to scoop so low as choosing your slut daughters. They will cause problems and probably will disgrace me the first chance they get. My decision stand.”

He surprised me. I was sure that he would jump at the opportunity to ditch me, but I am sure his pride was getting in the way.

The only problem was that my father was sure of the same thing, and he felt insulted by Alexander's choice.

“Okay, if you want to marry this fat freak, it is your choice. She will be your problem then.”

“ Do not forget where you are, Maverick. I will not repeat myself.”

The low growl in Alexander's voice sent shivers and goosebumps all over my skin.

“Is this all, or do you have something else to discuss? I’m a busy wolf, I don't have time to waste on you.”

“I also wanted to inform you that my pack's border control detected the Underworlds pack's hideout”

“I will look into it, is that all? ”

“Yes, thank you for your time, we will be waiting for you on Sunday.”

With those words, we left the room as my mind tried to understand what had just happened. The ride home was much faster than the one before, maybe I was still trying to process what had happened.

At one moment, it finally sank in.

I just saw a man I am going to marry in a few days.

He was a freaking scary alpha king.

Shit.

When we arrived home, I went straight to my room, needing some space and time to process my emotions.

That night, while I lay in bed looking through the window, I thought about him again.

I couldn’t help myself but picture him sitting here.

Would he want to touch me?

How would his hands feel on my body?

This is the first time that I entertained the idea that someone might want me like that and… and that I may answer their feelings.

Thinking about that, I started stroking my neck. I imagined it was his hand that was doing the stroking.

I felt my n*****s hardening in need of attention.

I moved my hand to them.

At first, I touched them lightly, only stroking the very tops of them with my fingertips. Letting this foreign sensation fill me. Then I took one of them between my fingers and I started pinching them a little bit rougher. A breath of pleasure left my mouth as I continued pinching my n*****s harder, putting more force into it, using my nails to draw a bit more pain that was turning into pleasure straight away.

But that wasn’t enough.

I needed more.

My lower body felt warmer. My p***y was itching for attention.

I let my other hand travel down my body, lightly swiping my fingertips against my pelvis, down in between my legs.

I had really touched myself like this, most of the time fearing that if I let myself feel any of this I would fall apart and Bree will take over, but today I just couldn’t ignore the need I was feeling.

At first, I only stroked my outer lips, then as I slid my pointer finger in between them, I let out an even bigger sight of pleasure as I felt a sweat running down my back.

I started stroking my thigh clit with more pressure, pinching it lightly. My other hand was still pinching my n****e with even more force, pulling on it harder, to the point of real pain. But that was enough to feed into the need between my thighs and in my lower belly.

The mixture of rough torture to both my n****e and my clit forced a deep breath to leave my mouth as I started climbing the peak. I was climbing and climbing, my back started to arch, and a loud moan exploded in my chest, sending me over the edge. My juices were flowing down my hand and onto my bed, but I did not care as I fell back down on the bed, breathing heavily.

The moment my head hit the pillow, for the first time in the last few days, I felt calm and relaxed.

I fell asleep like that, one hand still on my breast, while the other one between my legs. My dreams that night were filled with dark eyes and rough hands.
