Adonis' POV
I was woken up by prying hands running over my chest, trailing a dangerous path. Moving lower and lower. Feeling my every muscle. My eyes shot open when they got just above my already hard member. He was an early riser. Bel looked up at me, lust clear in her eyes. She knew what she was doing.
Memories of last night flooded my mind, and I grew harder pocking her stomach, due to the close proximity. Bel licked her lips seductively, slowly trailing her fingertip down my shaft, sending pleasure rippling through me.
Her other hand went up and down my arm, teasingly. Two could play this game. I growled lowly, turning so that I towered above her, while keeping my weight supported. Leaning in, I licked and sucked on one of her n*****s, rubbing on the other with my hand. She moaned and writhed under me, grinding herself on me. I moved my hand from her breasts to her v****a, rubbing on her c**t with just enough pressure to give her pleasure, but keep her on edge.
"Aahhh ahh aahh yes...mmh more yeah aaahh!" she moaned, and a groan escaped me.
Without warning, I thrust three fingers inside her, causing her to moan out loud. I moved them in and out, while still rubbing her c**t with my thumb. Moving away from her breasts, I crashed my lips with hers, swallowing her moans, my tongue moving skillfully against hers. I removed my wetted fingers from inside her and thrust deep in her, unable to control myself any longer. She shuddered, her walls tightening around me.
"f**k," I breathed out, moving my lips from hers to her neck, licking and sucking. I could feel my canines elongate, as the urge to mark her surfaced.
"Yes...yes, Adonis...mmmh...yeahh...aahh!" she moaned out, as I rummaged in and out of her senselessly. The sounds of heavy breathing and moans filled the room.
I was getting closer and closer to my release. The closer I got, the more the urge to mark her consumed me. She was also close. I skimmed her neck, the slight taste of iron bringing me back to my senses. 'I couldn't mark her'. I thrust deeper in her, moving my hips faster, and bit down on my hand. With one final thrust, I came hard with a muffled groan, just as she screamed out my name, reaching her climax. Soft trembles went through her body, as she went puny under me.
We remained entangled for a bit, before I detached myself from her, and lay on my back. And stared up blankly at the ceiling. I clearly remembered telling her to leave before I dozed off. So why was she in my bed this morning? Uncovering myself, I got out of bed really needing a shower.
"Baby, where are you going?" Bel asked, yawning. This girl really was a pain in the ass. She clung to me every so often, and it irked me to no end. If only my wolf wasn't oddly drawn to her, I wouldn't have had to tolerate her.
"When I get out of the bathroom, I want you gone," I said, my voice cold and firm.
"What do you mean gone? Baby, you know we are mates. You can't do this to me every time after we have sex."
"Just because I f****d you a couple of times, doesn't mean we are mates. And I made it clear that there are no strings attached," I said, losing patience.
"What the f**k are you saying!" she screeched, and I had to hold myself back from letting my anger take over.
"Bella, if I repeat myself, you won't like it one bit," anger seeped into my voice, as my wolf surfaced, not liking the lack of respect from her.
"But...."
"Bel!" I growled, my wolf getting the better of me. In a flash, I gripped her arm and threw her on the floor. My wolf took over, and I could feel my claws and sharp teeth surfacing.
As she curled up, naked before me, her skin seemed so pale and flawless. Thoughts of covering her in scars filled my twisted mind. She'd look so beautiful, filled with my marks on her body, red dripping from her wounds, cuts just deep enough to hurt and draw blood, screaming my name in terror. I took slow threatening steps towards her, and she whimpered, trying to move away from me. When I was barely a step away from her, I squatted, my face inches from hers.
"We are not mates. Get that through your thick pretty little dumb head." I let out, my voice low and menacing. "You are only here for my pleasure, and nothing else. Now, get out of here, before I chain you up and have you beg for mercy." She smirked at me, thinking I meant sexually. I smiled back, turning and walking towards the door. Just as I was about to leave, I turned to face her, a sinister smirk plastered on my face.
"Oh dear, I meant in the dungeon, not my bed."
The look on her face had me laughing coldly, as I walked out, meaning every word I had said. I needed to go for a run, before my wolf convinced me that it would be fun to tie her up, claw at her, and watch as her flesh ripped, blood dripping slowly, as she screamed out in pain and.... Jeez, I really need that run. And fast. I hurriedly went down the stairs, rushed out of the pack house, shifted and started my usual morning run in the woods. It was still a little bit dark, but that didn't bother me at all.
By the time I was back at the pack house, the sun was up and shining. I could hear the commotion inside as people got ready for the day. I shifted back, wearing the clothes I had tucked away in a bush. After, I got in, headed straight to the kitchen for some water. As I drank the cold quenching water, Xander, my beta, budged in the kitchen.
"Adonis, I was looking all over for you. Why do you keep blocking me from the mind link? We need to talk, urgently." He was probably the only person who I allowed to call me by my name. And by his emphasis, I knew this was serious. We briskly walked to my office, and sat down.
"What is going on?"
"We have five more rogues in the cells. Three from the Eastern border, and the other two from the Southern border. Adonis, this is getting worse. The more we wait, the more the threats increase. Before we know it, we'll be sitting ducks just waiting to be attacked by a whole damn army."
"I know, but for now, gathering intel is more important. The more we know, the better. You, of all people, know I don't act recklessly. We'll attack when they think they've got us, and savor their torment. I've got this." I tried to divert him, but I knew it wouldn't work.
"You know you can't run from this forever, Adonis. I think it's time."
"No," I said plainly. Keeping my emotions at bay.
"Why won't you stop being so damn stubborn for once and see things as they are. We need this."
"No we don't. I will handle this. Just like I have in the past years."
"You have been saying that for the past two months. And what have you achieved so far? You know the prophecy. This will be beneficial for us. Please, just consider it."
"I said no, Xander. Just drop it already."
"Well then...if you won't do it for yourself, then do it for the sake of our pack."
"Fine...I'll do it. But this is for the pack. Don't expect anything from me," I said, exasperated. I could see the smile on his face, and I wished I could wipe it off, but I just let him be.
I never wanted a mate. I knew what it would mean, and I didn't like it at all. Being the largest and strongest pack's alpha came with its perks, but it also had downsides. If I ever found my mate, she would be used by my enemies, to target me and my pack. And I had a lot of enemies. I already had enough on my plate.
But she wouldn't be just any ordinary wolf. She would be the most powerful being to ever exist. Just as stated in the prophecy. She would be of great help, because we would have an advantage over the threats. And that's what we needed. This was for the safety of my pack and nothing else. She had power. And that's just what I wanted. Nothing else. She'd even lift my status a little more, which was great.
Though I would not love her, as I was incapable of love. That was just not in me. I barely understood the concept. Let alone feel it. And it had been that way for years. I didn't need anyone changing it. So she would just need to get used to it. I would give her everything else but that. Being the most powerful being alive, I strongly suspected that she was one of the top ranks in the pack that she was in. That was only logical.
"Call the alphas from all packs and inform them that there will be a meeting in the afternoon. Tell them it's urgent," I said, snapping out of my thoughts.
"Yes, Alpha. Anything else?" Xander asked.
"Make sure you also inform the council of what's going on." I didn't need the werewolf council on my back at the moment.
"Alright," he said, leaving the office.
Having time to spare, my thoughts wandered back to my mate. Xander knew the only person who could save me from myself, was my mate. But I didn't want one. Having a mate could do me so much damage. She'd have power over me. She'd evoke emotion from me. She'd be able to control me. She would be part of my soul. My world would basically revolve around her. And that would make her my weakness.
What if I lost her, or she died? I would be unsalvagable, running mad because of the broken bond. I had seen the effects of what losing a mate could do to you. And I had to stop that from happening, by whatever means. I would have to avoid getting attached to her at all cost. She would get to know just how heartless I could be. That was the only way to ensure everyone remained safe.
