The Alphas Dilemma

Chapter Twenty Nine

Chapter twenty nine

Sebastian's pov

"Now down to the reason why we are here" I began my sermon with a stern face. "As I had explained personally in the morning, something unexplainable happened and the Alpha ordered a stay in rooms now there has been a new update. Some wolves… the offender's wolves have been punished thereby releasing most of you from your task" Murmurs began to stir but I continued either way "for some this is going to be tricky and others the most interesting. Listen and listen very carefully though Gilbert never goes back on his words, it may or may not be a test. It might just be a death sentence for you all. He who has ears, let him hear."

"Tell us what actually happened to our Alpha" someone shouted from the crowd.

"Nothing more of what I haven't said" I replied "you may go" I dismissed the assembly and turned to leave only to come face to face with the rest board members and co. rulers of the pack—Jenny, especially. She was smiling and looking so intently at me "so please for your good don't overdo the commands and whatsoever I do to maintain a clean and coordinated environment" I called out to the retreating back of the people.

"Why do I feel that that statement was for me?" Jenny asked quietly

"Maybe it was," I said not sparing a moment to acknowledge her presence.

"How dare you" Jenny snarled. "Who gave you the authority to talk to me in such a disrespectful manner?"

"You really do ask a lot of f*****g annoying questions. I'm your Beta. That's what." I said angrily. Jenny scoffed angrily at me and rolled her eyes. She didn't appreciate it when orders are being thrown at her, but would so much give orders when the roles were turned. We were still speaking when Ruby passed with a basket of fresh fruit in her hands, dressed in her slave -uniform (more like a house uniform. Slave uniform is the term used to describe Servant work worn in the pack house)

"Follow me," Jenny said to a wryly-looking Ruby. You need no soothsayer to tell you she was tired and worked to her bones.

"Yes, ma'am Jenny" Ruby replied without regarding me. During the times when we didn't yet break our bond, Jenny always sought to punish Ruby for an unknown crime but couldn't because of me. But when things went south between Ruby and me, Jenny made her domineering on Ruby twice as bad, although I knew she did all the ills to spite me. Bombarding Ruby with tons of work was Jenny's little way of getting back at me but not today, I wouldn’t let her suffer the innocent girl for talking to me or being mated to me, it wasn't her fault. It dawned on me that unless I did something fast, Jenny would not stop bothering her. Perhaps I was her ticket out of all this misery

"She isn't going anywhere with you, Jenny" I stated sternly, looking directly into Jenny’s eyes. She might think because her father was rich and highly powerful had given her the right to treat other people with contempt and reproach. She thought she was the Queen B, but one thing I like doing is exalting the humble and humbling the proud.

"And why not?" Jenny replied fiercely.

"Because I said so" I retorted.

"It's not like you are still mated to her, what the hell is your problem? She is a general slave for the pack house for f**k sakes, Sebastian" she was clenching and unclenching her fist beside me but Daddy’s girl knew whether in human or wolf form I would easily take her out. Three years ago when Ruby and her friend were still in the pack and I was still mated to Ruby, on the claim that I belittled her in front of my mate and her friend she reported me to her father who sent some of his security dogs after me. The outcome? Well, seven dead bodies were dumped in front of their mansion. I never looked for trouble but I never looked away when someone looked for mine.

"Yeah, so if you need a servant to carry out your personal needs, you can crawl out to your mansion and get one of yours. And yes, she was a pack house servant but that was until a second ago"

"What do you mean?"

"From now on, she's my personal servant and will function only in my condo" I flared

"On whose authority?" her eyes darted between me and Ruby.

"Mine!" I turned to look at Ruby. "Go get your things packed beaut, we are going to stay at my mansion from this day until far-forth." A little smile of appreciation, joy, and triumph decorated Ruby's face at my words. Unlike every other time, she didn’t fight me on this.

"I'll do just that, sir" she answered happily. Jenny stomped her feet and matched heavily on the ground in the spirit of anger, walking away to only the goddess who knew where. Probably going to cry to her father as she always did. With a curt nod, Lily left the hallway and returned shortly with a small weekend away bag. Yeah, her possessions were so little if only she would let me do something about it. f**k me! Who was I kidding, she would never let me get anything for her I was sure about things. After she rejected our mate bond seven months after she accepted it, she returned everything single thing I got for her. From the tiniest pin to the biggest item.

"Master," she said, announcing her presence.

"Let's go" I took a hold of her hand and immediately I felt the spark, the chemistry. The connection we shared was so palpable but for reasons known and unknown to me, she wouldn't let us explore our connection.

"I know you are doing this to try to woo me back and I'll like to tell you I'm still not ready for any form of emotional commitment. Mating and marking come with too much emotional responsibility that I'm not sure I'll be able to keep. Just like what happened in the past, many uncertainties are laying ahead of us." So much for trying I guess.

"I know but I want you so bad, there's nothing else I think about each day other than you….Literally “I knew I was beginning to sound pouty but I couldn’t help it.

"Perhaps"

"So...” there was a hopeful edge at the tip of my voice and I was pretty sure I was carrying my heart on my palm… one wrong turn and it would crash but I was ready and willing to take the risk.

"I'm not done. I like that you said you want me and not that you need me. The truth is I want you too, I just don't need you…" she paused and looked at me.

"I don't understand the whole want and need to talk. I thought they were the same thing?" now I was confused.

"No, they are not. Not in the matters of the heart at least"

"So?"

"So, let's go ahead with fulfilling each other's wants? Because we want to not because we need to. No tags and labels… just two consenting adults fulfilling each other's cravings" was this a dream? I pinched myself several times, and each time I did, I felt pain. This wasn't a dream. It had better not be. I was still contemplating and weighing the words in my mind when she wordlessly walked into my front and headed for the garage. She was waiting by my door when she did. I felt a bit happier when I saw that she knew my car even though we didn’t speak. It could be seen as progress, right? A positive sign?

I'd never driven as fast. Ever! My condo was twelve minutes away from the pack house every other day, but somehow it was reduced to seven minutes. I brought her up to my bedroom in a haze. I was about to kiss her when she stopped me by placing her palm on my shoulders which made me look at her questionably.

"You still haven't answered my question, Sebastian. I need to be sure there wouldn't be a tag"

"There won't. I consent to whatever you want Ruby, no tags, no labels…. Your rules" I didn’t let her nod her head like it seemed she was about to when I grabbed her neck and pulled her close to me until our lips touched each other. A sweet little moan escaped her mouth and that was all it took to alert Bone, my wolf. He sighed in contentment as her pure honey smells filled our nostrils. Another moan went out of her mouth as I bit the skin at the back of her ears, using my tongue to play on her skin while my fingers trailed the hem of her shorts. Without breaking off our kiss, I undid the hook of her shorts, then shoved two fingers into her panties.

"f**k" I hissed as I find out she was already wet. Super wet for me. Feeling fire through my veins, I latched properly into her whole and began to finger-f**k her. The sound of her growing moans and my fingers coming and going into her mixed together like a perfect soulful orchestra. I took off her shirt and her bra. Her perky hanky-panky t**s bounced as I removed the strand of bra from her chest, her pink n*****s glimmered in the moonlight that shone through my window. I couldn’t help but take her in—all of her. She looked surreal. Too good to be true. Naked under my analyzing gaze, she shivered as his eyes savored her body.

"Don't cover yourself up. You look divine —a hundred times better than I last saw" I gently scolded her when I noticed her arms going up to cover her boobs. She had always been like that—my shy, shy, once mate. Pulling her into me, I buried my face in her bosoms, squeezing her soft juicy melons, making her release strings of rhythmic moans. My hand also went down to her nicely packed behind and I squeezed hard; hard enough that both I and Bone groaned in gratification.
