Fate's Deception

Chapter 2

The air hung heavy with his minty scent and the palpable tension between us.

"I've been eagerly awaiting the chance to be inside your tight p***y all week, to feel your clench around me, to hear your whimpering," he declared, his smirk pressed against his mark. "I'm not stopping now."

Gripping the bed sheets tightly, I too had no desire to halt our passionate encounter.

Perhaps it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.

Perhaps... As I glanced back out the window, our eyes locked. Under the flickering moonflowers in the forest, I swore the wolf smirked.

That f*****g smirk, as if he was mocking me and taunting Ruben.

When he stepped into the moonlight,

I tensed.

He was incredibly large, almost alpha-rank size, with white fur and sparkling hazel eyes. Instead of averting my gaze, I turned my upper body toward Ruben,

Ruben glanced at the wolf outside the window and then back at me, a smirk curling on his lips. "Witnessing how an alpha satisfies his mate," Ruben arrogantly remarked.

He crawled onto the bed, positioned himself between my legs, and kissed my neck while marking me. "Relax, Christine.

Let him not ruin our night."

Breathless, I arched my back as he kissed lower, stealing a glance at the persistent wolf still fixated on us with intense focus.

Ruben inserted his fingers into my wet p***y, coating them with my arousal. "You're okay with this?" I asked, my voice trembling.

Ruben withdrew his fingers and trailed them down my body, between my breasts. "You're dripping for me, baby," he observed, before placing his fingers in my mouth.

"Does being watched turn you on, my dear Isabella?"

My muscles tightened, and I gazed up into my mate's golden eyes, swallowing hard. "I... I..."

Ruben kissed my jaw, his lips lingering. "You don't have to say it.

Just turn around for me, get on all fours, so he can witness me satisfying my week-long craving."

My heart raced, caught off guard by this unexpected kink of Ruben's.

However, I complied, turning around and positioning myself on all fours on the bed, arching my back and allowing my breasts to sway gently.

Ruben gripped my waist, his hand in my hair and the other on my ass, as he thrust into me from behind, filling me. "Good girl," Ruben praised, his dominance evident.

"You're being so obedient today, not a brat like usual."

I tightened around him and moaned, revelling in his approval.

My fingers curled into the bed sheets as I stole another glance at the wolf in the woods. Initially, the notion of Ruben wanting an audience hadn't felt right, but he had watched me countless nights. Why had I expected him not to enjoy something like this? It was an erotic display of dominance, and my Ruben was nothing short of a commanding and powerful mate.

"After f*****g that defiant mouth of yours, have I finally tamed you?" Ruben questioned, thrusting forcefully from behind.

A low growl escaped my throat, my canines elongating. "No matter how rough you are with me, I'll never submit to you.

You should know that, you...

Ruben forcefully pressed my head against the mattress, propped one foot on the bed to intensify his thrusts, and wrapped an arm around my waist to deliver a sharp slap to my throbbing clit. "You think I won't be able to break you?" Ruben questioned, striking me there once more.

I let out a yelp, my p***y clenching around his c**k.

Yanking me up by the hair until my back was pressed against his firm chest, Ruben growled into my ear, "Let's get one thing straight, Christine.

Look out that damn window, open that pretty little mouth of yours, and scream my name, or neither of us will climax tonight.

And I know that this tight, aching little p***y"—he slapped my clit again—"is eagerly awaiting my cum."

Squeezing my eyes shut,

I shook my head at him. I was so close... so close to orgasming without his permission, so close to allowing him to truly punish me in front of this stranger for defying the dominant alpha.

Wrapping his hand around my neck, he delivered a harsh slap to my clit. "Do it."

"No."

"Now, Christine."

"No..." I whimpered.

He forcefully thrust himself into me, reaching my cervix and eliciting a scream.

I opened my eyes to gaze out the window at the wolf.

"Ruben!" I cried out, my toes curling. "Ruben, please, give it to me."

Ruben buried himself deep inside me, pausing, and groaned in my ear.

I relaxed into his arms, watching the wolf retreat into the forest and disappear into the night.

After Ruben pulled out of me, I turned around and collapsed onto the bed. "We need to have a conversation, Alpha."

Ruben POV

Christine's moon flowers cast a flickering glow on the windowsill, filling the room with their soft light.

I joined her in bed, shutting off the lights as the distant howls of our pack members echoed through the night.

"What was that?" Christine asked, pulling the blankets over our naked bodies.

I brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "What do you mean?"

She rolled her eyes, her bright blue gaze fixed on me. "You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Did you invite that wolf to come and watch us? Everyone in our pack knows not to come here, especially at this hour, just to observe."

There was no fooling Isabella. She saw through me effortlessly.

A small smile tugged at my lips. "He's a beta from a neighbouring pack, someone I used to train with. I asked him to come.

Did you enjoy it?"

Blushing, she glanced down at my chest and nodded ever so slightly. "I just never thought you would be into that."

I turned my back, staring up at the ceiling.

There were still many things Christine didn't know about me, despite being mates and once close friends.

So much had changed between us since my father began training me to become the alpha.

"I do enjoy it," I admitted.

"Have you done it before?" she asked, curiosity evident in her voice.

"Yes," I replied hesitantly, memories of past experiences flooding back.

Her eyes widened as she sat up. "Really?" she asked, genuinely intrigued. "With whom?"

"I don't think you want to know, Isabella. It's in the past," I said, yet she continued to gaze down at me with those wide eyes.

Letting out a sigh, I pulled her back down into my arms, holding her close. "It was with my ex-best friend and ex-girlfriend."

Her eyes somehow grew even wider. "With that Scarlett girl?" Christine asked, her nose scrunching in disgust. "I've only heard rumours about her, but I never expected..."

I despised Scarlewith every fibre of my being because she had taken you away from me," Isabella confessed, the moonflowers reflecting in her eyes. "But who was your friend?"

I shook my head. "His name is Kohls. Kohls Marks."

"Kohls from the Moon Ridge Pack?" she exclaimed, her eyes widening. "What happened between the two of you?"

My jaw clenched as I recalled my mother, my father, Scarlett, and the days when I had sworn to kill Kohls if I ever laid eyes on him again on my territory.

That man had held a grudge against me for over four years, and tomorrow would be the first time I would see him in a long time.

"We had a falling-out," I said, unwilling to delve into further details at that moment.

Christine sat up in bed, shaking her head.

"Kohls has been one of the most vocal alphas since the world learned about Lyna's betrayal of the Hebrews.

He'll be at the meeting tomorrow." She curled her knees to her chest and chewed on her inner cheek. "I'm nervous that I won't be able to calm the alpha down."

Tracing my fingers along her hip, I also sat up and pressed my lips against her mark. "Don't be nervous, my dear Christine," I assured her, feeling her relaxation under my touch.

"Kohls won't be a problem for you.

I'll handle him.

What we should be concerned about is the growing unrest among some of the warring packs."

"Unrest?" she whispered.

"Cayden informed me earlier that wolves have been displaying more feral behaviour than usual lately," I explained, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"And I don't want you to get caught up in it and willingly put yourself in more danger."

"I am the leader of the Hebrews," Christine responded. "Danger comes with the territory."

"And you're my mate. Protecting you is part of my duty," I emphasized.
