The Alphas Dilemma

Chapter forty

Gilbert's POV

One of the favorite times of every female werewolf was here! The heat period! Who was I kidding?

With a groan, I placed my head on the table. Even trying to keep myself at bay with thoughts about the things I wanted to do to her. And by her, I do hope you understand who I am talking about. I could not help but inhale deeply the heavy that broke through my door and enveloped my office.

The most tantalizing scent to any werewolf— to any male werewolf, and especially if it was an alpha, is the smell of the arousal of his mate, especially during the heat period. The needs of our mates come before anything, even before food. I knew my mate was tired from the activities she performed throughout the week and that was why I laid gently by her side, brooding with her until she woke up. I've been gone all day, work had been really stressful. My limbs were wearing out but I got my strength the moment I lay next to her on the bed. Not wanting to be idle, I brought out my laptop and begin working on a project I was supposed to conclude earlier at the office but because I was too tired, I couldn't finish working on it. I was still working when suddenly, a burst of pain ripped through my person and I heard an agonizing scream.

What is that? I thought

Until the realization dawned on me. I was not the one going through this pain, I might have just shared it with someone. And if this ripping pain was only a shared version of the original pain the person was doing through then what could be the—

Fuck! The realization hit me loudly and was more painful than a ton of bricks ever would.

In my fit of nervousness, I had forgotten that the heat period for female wolves usually came with pain. And my mate had been in pain all this while and although I could, I had not been able to do anything for her because of my indolence. Because of my stupidity, my lack of competence as a mate, and anyone who lets down his mate will also make the mistake of letting down his pack too.

Fuck me!

Why am I overthinking it so much? I already know what has to be done. I thought

"Emory?" I called softly and the second I leaned closer to her side, my nostrils were immediately hit by the smell of her arousal and goodness, it was indeed spectacular to me. She smelled so nice and the small house she made while sleeping sounded like moaning to me and man was I heavily turned on?

“Emory!” I shout in a fit of panic. She looks up at me and smiles weakly. Something else occurred to me when I touched her. She was crazily running temperature.

“Gilbert,” She said my name in two separate syllables. She looked so pretty even in her current weak state. Her sleepy face was equivalent to the brightness of the morning sun and I never wanted to depart from her glow. Panicking, I completely turned her over and scooped her up in my arms, and the feeling of her skin on mine instantly eased me and I was ecstatic.

“How did your work go?” She asked turning to look at me. Her skin is hot—burning hot.

“You were burning up and in a lot of pain just a while ago and you are asking me how my work went?” I asked her, stupefied. She chuckled slowly and angled her head at the crook of my neck. I kissed her on the forehead.

“I am very sorry for not coming on time, baby girl. I had actually forgotten that the heating period brought pain to you guys. I've been here for a while now but I did not know that it was hurting you at all.” I said to Emory as she closed her eyes. She heaved a sigh before smiling a little.

“It is okay. What matters is that you are here now, at least.” She said with a smile, her eyes still closed. “So uh, should we talk about the weather next?” She added but stiffened as another burst of pain hit her—seemingly.

I looked at the strong woman In my arms and the pain she felt but tries to mask. “No, my love, do not be silly. You are in too much pain for that.” I cradled her head and plant a swift little kiss on it.

She giggled “I feel like a baby now. Tell me, what do we do then? Sleep?”

“No, no, no.” I clicked my tongue to the corner. “Well, it certainly involves a bed, but we are not sleeping,” I said as I ran my tongue over the nape of her bare shoulder.

She hit my shoulder playfully. “I still do not understand you, Alpha.” She said, and the way she called ‘Alpha’ at the end made me feel tingles all over my body most especially at my groin.

I let out a growl as I ran my hand through her body. An indication that playtime was over and it was finally time to get things serious.

“We are going to mate, mate,” I said, immediately capturing her lips with mine as soon as I got those words out, swallowing a moan from her. She removed her mouth and stared at me longingly which increased my want for her. Her lips were moist and so pink, giving me a miniature picture of what her areola and p***y lips would look like.

"What do you mean?" She asked me, biting her lips, while her fingers played with the hem of her dress.

"I mean, I'm going to f**k you until you can't remember your name, mate" the words hurriedly left my mouth and soon I was kissing her again, the love of my life. With my lips still on hers, I narrowed my fingers underneath the tiny, see-through nightwear she had on. I trailed my fingers from her legs up to her thighs and then the waistband of her panties. My hands were strong but suddenly gentle as I began to stroke her p***y with my fingers.

Her back arched higher and her soft moans intensified — a gentle reminder that I was doing just what she wanted. Her eyes were closed and her lip was slightly parted as I once again increased the pace of my fingers.

"Gilbert…" she trailed off and ran her tongue over her lower lips. Feeling haunted by it, I caught in a flash and sharply began to kiss her again, taking my time to latch her taste to memory. The taste of her mouth had easily become my favorite flavor and I knew that I might as well never get enough of her.

I propped myself up on my elbow and skimmed my fingers to her chest. I felt her n*****s rise, as I maneuvered through her very baby pink areolas. And without warning, I pinched her puckered n*****s; the action which seemed to startle her, because she suddenly gasp and her lashes fluttered open.

I chuckled and kissed both of her breasts. This isn't our first or second time not even the third time of having s*x but every time we have each other, she always had the same reaction she had on our first time and man did it trigger something in me? To know my mate was not bored with my methods…the whole thing just fired me up the more in a way.

‘Shh.” I whispered into her ear. “It is alright my love, don’t worry, just relax and listen to your body, okay?”

She nodded her head and her eyes immediately shot close as I began finger f*****g her and simultaneously sucking her right breast while my free hand squeezed her left breast.

She whimpers. “oh. f**k!.” She cried out softly, and I cussed out. This woman would be the end of me, I swear. And I will thank the goddess if I was doomed to die in her arms like this.

Doomed? My wolf shot at me. "More like blessed. Being with her each day is a blessing in itself." Viper added which exactly wasn't a lie. Being with her like this brought me not just happiness but fulfillment also.

I removed my lips from hers and began a journey down her person— I started with a very slow, rhythmic, gentle pace while moving down her body, and getting lost in its planes, curves, and angles. The planes, curves, and angles of her body that I have happily memorized since the first time we were together in this way.

“Gilbert ….please do that again,” Emory whispered from below me and I smirked. She liked it, yay! Without as much as a mumble of protest from me, I rolled my hips against hers continuously, but in very, very slow motions, and shortly a sweet spasm rippled through me. I halted my movements as it was too soon to have my release especially since my mate was still caught in her webs.

Emory turned to me and grabbed my head and kissed me squarely on my lips. I growled out, working my hands as it seemed I couldn't get enough of her until I felt something vibrate underneath me. It was all so sudden. One moment I was covered with the fragrance of my lover and the next I was covered with darkness then thick bedsheets.

"What the heck?" I mumbled my voice still groggy as I switched on the light on my nightstand. "Wait what?" I hissed out before taking in my surroundings and right then, it occurred to me what had just happened… oh s**t!
