Filed to story: The Alpha King’s Intoxicating Mate
Satisfied I let my aura fade. “You won’t be tortured, but you’ll be in chains, you and your girl,” I said angrily “and left to think about how dire the consequences of your stupidity could have ended. You also owe each of the warriors that were wounded, even slightly tonight, an apology.”
“I understand,” he said gravely, lowering his head.
I looked at James. “Get this i***t out of my sight. I want the girl in a separate cell” I hissed “and ensure that a girl omega is there to provide for her. I’m not naive as to what could happen to her and if anybody lays a hand on her, I’ll kill them. Make that clear” I told him frostily. There was always the one guard who thought he could get away with something and I was not about to let something happen under my instructions, even if the girl had pissed me off. I wasn’t a complete monster.
I did not condone rape of any kind in my pack.
“I will personally take care of it,” James said respectfully.
“Good. Make sure there are two lookouts on and change the schedules if it’s needed as well” I instructed, feeling tired.
He nodded. I turned around and stomped my way towards the pack house, feeling volatile and aggressive. I really needed to find my mate and soon, I thought, or take my chosen mate, because at this rate, my wolf was going to take control and I wasn’t going to be able to keep fighting him back. It had been a massive effort to shift back to human form tonight, something that I wasn’t going to inform James about. The last thing I needed was him getting concerned and forbidding me to shift. After this stupid upcoming party, I was going to nip this trouble in the bud, one way or the other.
Kace POV
I entered my room and stopped short, sensing another presence, my hand automatically going for the light switch, bathing the room in light and outlining the perpetrator who stretched out on the bed, a wide smile on her face. I tried not to sigh. After tonight’s antics, I was not exactly in the inclination for what she was offering. My wolf was also angry, not wanting to be touched by her, and it was all I could do to hold him back as he threatened to come to the surface once more. She had the worst possible timing I thought, as she lay there, seductively, her eyes gleaming at me. Any other time, I would have been more than tempted, but now I was numb to her overtures.
“Kace” she purred, her long silken red hair, portrayed across the pillows, her pale creamy complexion highlighted by the green lacy babydoll and panties she wore as she spread her legs slightly, giving me a clear view, before sitting up and motioning me forward.
“Cordelia,” I said quietly, not moving from the doorway, “what are you doing in here?”
I was not pleased to discover her in my room. While we had been intimate, it had been when I was initiating it and when my wolf was at its calmest.
She had never done this to me before and while most men would have thought themselves lucky, my wolf was ready to tear her throat out. I didn’t dare approach, for fear he would do just that.
“What do you think I’m doing in here, silly?” she breathed, arching her back so that her breasts pushed up against the flimsy material of her lingerie, “I’m here to please you” she added seductively, standing up and letting her hair fall down her back in untamed waves.
She had a body to die for, with a slender frame and curvy hips that made a man want to touch her all over. I felt nothing though, for the first time as I stared at her. No longing, no interest, no desire. It was strange. My wolf was pleased with me. I cleared my throat and glanced down at myself. I was still covered in droplets of blood from the battle with the rogues.
“As you can see, I’m not in a condition to receive you,” I said delicately, attempting to reason with her.
She c****d her head and her eyes widened as she saw the blood. “Oh my god, Kace what happened?” she cried, coming forward to look closer.
“It is nothing,” I said stiffly “It is not my blood. There was a rogue attack.”
She gasped and put a hand to her mouth, her eyes widening. “A rogue attack” she whispered “but how did they get on the grounds.”
“Never mind, it’s been taken care of,” I said stiffly “I have made sure it will not happen again, but you should leave Cordelia. I need to clean up” I added pointedly.
There. Now she should get the hint and leave me alone, I thought with satisfaction. She reached out and touched me and I gritted my teeth, feeling my wolf’s anger flood through my body.
“I can wait” she murmured “Even help you to clean up” she suggested wickedly.
She tries it and I’ll rip her head from her body! Lucian thundered.
I swallowed hard. “I’m afraid that I’m a little run down after the attack. I’m not in the mood for company” I told her as she looked at me confused “Perhaps a raincheck?” I added, feeling like a right bastard.
Thanks a lot, Lucian. Really.
She nodded slowly, backing away. “I see” she stammered, grabbing a silk robe from the floor and quickly tying it around herself “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?” she asked hopefully, looking at me with big, pleading eyes.
At the end of the table, away from us, with all the other pack members, where she belongs. w***e. My wolf was being more than a little talkative today, instead of his usual silent sullen self. I preferred it when he was silent. At least then, he wasn’t calling Cordelia names and expressing his hatred towards her.
