Unaware Alpha

"Did we think of a Plan B?"

We've been plotting for two days, now. Jeremy and I are getting closer, emotionally. Mainly, because we agreed it would be easier to focus if we don't have s*x every few hours. That doesn't mean steamy make-up sessions are off limits. In fact, we're making out on his bed right now. He's so gentle and sensual this time. When we go too long without physical contact, we both become hungry from desire. Those makeout sessions are so fun because of all the bites and scratches. Jer notices that I'm off in outer space and he sighs into my chest as his mouth leaves my cleavage.

"What're you thinking about?"

"Just some nonsense."

"Nothing in your beautiful brain is nonsense." He tucks a dark, silky strand of hair behind my ear and kisses my forehead.

A small smile tugs at my lips.

"Well, I wonder if the marks I give you will stay after we become mates. Maybe? And... there's something else."

He plays with the ends of my hair and hums a response.

"Hmm?"

I squeeze my thighs together while still straddling him. It grabs his attention.

"Oh, sorry. I was just enjoying our proximity. Your hair just mesmerizes me, by the way. It's so long and soft. It always smells like coconuts and argan oil."

"I know, you're always playing with it. Anyways, I've been feeling a little different lately. I think my wolf is gonna make an appearance."

"That's great news! Although, I've grown quite fond of your pudge. It gives me more to hold onto. I hope your wolf doesn't take that away. Mine definitely changed my appearance."

"I didn't notice a change."

"That's because we weren't close, then."

"What changed?"

"Well, my height and my build. I use to be very lanky, yet not above six foot. Now, I'm muscular and 6'3". So, yeah, I hope you stay the same."

"Me too."

"I don't know what I'd do without these thick thighs and this juicy ass. All the other girls barely have curves."

His eyes focus on something very far away and I can tell he's in a mindlink. It must be Alex. He comes out of it quickly and I can tell exactly what was said just by looking at his face. He seems upset and distracted.

"It's time to go, isn't it?"

"Yeah. Operation: Ditch The Old Dudes is about to commence."

I climb off of him, but when we stand up, he pulls me in for one more kiss. It feels like his soul is speaking to mine.

I leave the room first, going back to mine and straightening my clothes. I catch him heading towards the other side of the second floor. The guest area. As I close my door, I wonder if the plan will work.

***Flashback***

Yesterday was day two of plotting and Alex was the mastermind.

"So, Jeremy will use his status of "almost Alpha" to try and make deals with Carl and Jacob."

"Why them?"

"They are the most reasonable out of the group."

"Makes sense." Jeremy shrugged.

"Okay, so as he's approaching them in their guest rooms, Octavia, you will distract the other two."

"How am I gonna do that?"

"Well..."

Jeremy started to get impatient, like he knew what Alex was gonna say.

"Spit it out, Alex!"

"Octavia, you'll need to be seductive and flirty. If you do that, they'll definitely be distracted."

"Okay, after Carl and Jacob are won over, what happens?"

"Tim can be bought. Use the promise of a pay off for him, Jeremy."

"And, Jesse?"

"I'll handle him. He wants a successor and I'm old enough to take over his title. If he tries to have a kid at his age, he'll be in his sixties before they'll be of age for him to retire. Alphas always retire around 40."

We all agreed and went our separate ways.

***Flashback End***

I walk out of my room and downstairs to the horny old men. I'm wearing a tank top that's very low cut and my cleavage is showing. I have on tight, booty shorts and my hair is in a long braid going down my back. It touches my butt. They see me and immediately begin drooling. I shoot them a wicked grin as I grab a pudding cup out of the fridge. I "accidentally" drop it on the floor and bend down to pick it up. I can feel them staring at my bodacious booty. I grab a spoon and begin eating the pudding cup while nodding along with their conversation. They're both watching my lips as I eat the pudding in a slow, seductive way.

Jeremy comes down the staircase opposite of us. We have two. He looks kinda upset at the scene with Jesse and Tim. Jesse catches him staring and does something unexpected.

"Oh, are you jealous? I wasn't aware she was yours." He takes advantage of the almost empty living room and kitchen area. He grabs my face and squeezes hard. Pulling my face to his, he forces me to engage in a kiss. I try to push him off me and he just gets help from Tim.

Jeremy tries to help me, but Carl and Jacob grab his arms and hold him in place. They had followed him down the stairs.

I'm thrashing and screaming as Jesse tears off my shirt. His claws extend and he scratches my torso. He tries to get his disgusting hand in my shorts, but I knee him in the groin. He falls to the ground and Tim pins my arms behind my back instead of just holding them. Carl and Jacob walk Jeremy to me and make him stare at my half naked, scratched up body. I'm crying and Jeremy becomes infuriated by it. He breaks free and threatens their lives before pulling me into him. I sob into his chest as the Alphas are laughing.

"What the hell is going on?!" Alpha Micheal is descending the staircase with my parents not far behind. Alex comes wobbling from the bathroom off the kitchen. He's holding his head.

"Alex, why do look drunk?" My mom goes to him first.

"They knocked me out before O came down here from her room."

"What happened?" The question is directed at me and Jeremy. I just shove my face farther into his chest.

"They tried to r**e her and when she fought back, they moved me closer to her so I could....watch."

"Did we think of a plan B?" I whisper into his warm, tan skin. He squeezes me to say yes.

Alpha Micheal looks at Jesse as he straightens himself up.

"Is this true?"

"She's clearly a little slut. They've carried each other's scents for days and she came down here looking like a hooker."

My mom stands up for me for once.

"Call my daughter a slut one more time! She should be able to wear whatever she wants in the comfort of her own home! You...are guests!"

"So, you let the Beta's wife speak for you, Micheal? Tell your Beta to keep her in line."

My dad growls at Jesse and Micheal stays silent.

Jesse takes that as invitation to carry on and tries to snatch me from Jeremy's arms. I look up from the warmth of my lover's chest and growl low and threatening. My eyes begin to glow and I snap my jaw at him. My canines are here.

"Oohh...she's feisty!"

My mom wolf speeds to get me a shirt and comes back in seconds with a t-shirt in hand. I slip the shirt on with Jeremy shielding the front of me. Jesse steps toward me again and Micheal finally speaks up.

"Jeremy, have you defiled our one chance at alleviating our debt?" His voice is terrifyingly calm. Jeremy becomes uneasy and struggles to respond. I look over at Alex for some idea of what to do. He mouths the words, "Shock factor." I nearly jump out of my skin as Micheal yells in a tone of voice reserved for an Alpha.

"ANSWER ME!!"

He moves towards my lover like he intends to hurt him. Something takes over inside of me and I put myself between Jeremy and his father. I snarl at him, at my Alpha and snap my jaw. He looks shocked and offended. Then, he bares his teeth.

"Move aside, pup."

He wickedly smiles at his own son and runs his tongue along his huge canines. He takes another step forwards and I growl at him.

"I said...MOVE!!" His voice booms and almost makes me crouch down in obedience. Alex hurries to my side, snarling and snapping his jaw too.

I speak in a low, growling, almost sinister voice.

"Make. Me."

Alex looks at me wide eyed.

"Hahaha! You have balls, little girl!" Micheal spits out at me, mildly amused.

"You let your b***h fight your battles?!" Jesse snarks at Jeremy.

He straightens his posture and smirks at Jesse.

"You think I'm letting her? No. She'll tear me up if I try to stop her. She may be small, but there's a lot of rage inside her."

Micheal steps again and I hold my ground, responding to his snide comment.

"No, I have claws..." My claws make a whoosh sound as they instantly appear.

"...I can use them and risk both of our lives, or we can talk like civil people."

"You're bluffing, but okay."

We put away our claws and fangs and attempt to be civil.

"What are your terms?" He asks me right off the bat.

"I refuse to marry a middle-aged, misogynistic, asshole of an Alpha. Your son and I will marry and he'll become the Alpha. Non-negotiable."

"Why is it non-negotiable that you marry my son?"

"There are too many reasons to count."

Jeremy puts a hand on my shoulder from behind and I glare at him. He immediately removes the hand with a scared expression.

"What else?"

"You will never lay a hand on him again. At least, not in a violent way."

"Doable. Go on."

"Those disgusting old men leave tonight or they leave in body bags."

I begin to realize I've gained a semblance of respect from Micheal.

"Is that it?"

"No, the wedding will be tomorrow. That way, no one gets to back out."

"Now that I've heard all of the demands, these are my counters: You may marry my son if you can name one reason why, other than to avoid marrying a pig. I will never beat my son again, but you have to teach him how to have balls as big as yours. The pigs may leave now. The Alpha ceremony is in 3 days, Jeremy will become Alpha regardless. You two will have a proper wedding and it will be planned by your mother. You will not marry tomorrow, but you can claim each other as mates if it makes you trust the deal more. So, what do you say?"

He extends his hand and I shake it.

"One reason...I love him. The best reason, right? I would love a real wedding and thank you."

"You're very welcome and you'll make a fantastic Luna."

He mindlinks me.

AM: You might wanna tell him about the other thing, too.

O: I don't know what you're talking about.

AM: Yes, you do.
