ALPHA ROMAN’S POV
When Vincent told me about the alpha king’s sudden visit, I immediately ordered him to retrace alpha Christopher’s movement for the past days.” Okay, I will make the call.” He replied and I stepped out of the house with both my beta and gamma. I have learned to tolerate Zack’s concern for my mate, but I am not sure how long.
” Roman, what do you think he is here for?” Zack asked, but I didn’t open my mouth and only watched as he stepped down from his car.
The last time he came here was when my father died, the exact day I was framed for my family’s murder.
” The Turners pack looks better than the last time I was here. It can see alpha Roman is doing a good job.” He halted a few steps away with his beta and a few of his warriors who were standing beside the car. His eyes stared around for a while before they stabilized.
“It’s a pleasure to stop by.”
” I don’t remember inviting you here,” I said plainly and he laughed it off. Alpha Abraham and I have never been on good terms, especially when he was a good friend of Frank, my uncle.
” Indeed, you haven’t changed even after finding your mate.” He chuckled.” You can rest assured, Turner pack is not in any danger, but I can’t say how long.” He threatened, and my wolf growled, but I retained my calmness and stayed unaffected by his threat.
” Don’t you agree that it’s dangerous to walk around with few warriors?” I asked, tilting my head to the side with my cold, nonchalant face, and he smiled. ” Take it easy because you might expose yourself before I expose you.” He said and I frowned. ” It seems the alpha king is abusing his position, and instead of protecting the packs, he is threatening them,” I said in a breath and a scrawl appeared in his eyes. It was a pleasure to know that the hate was mutual.
” I don’t want to believe this is what you are meant to do as the alpha king,” I added, my face carrying the same nonchalant expression.
” Watch your back, Roma, n, because this time, you are going down for real unless you hand her over without a protest.” He threatened, and my fist tightened in my pocket; Xade was trying to push forward.
” Every alpha knows better than to keep a royal wolf in their pack.” He hits the nail on the head, just like I assumed, and how did he find out about Bella? Well, it wasn’t hard to fucking guess.
‘ Are you thinking what I’m thinking?’ Xade asked and I hemmed. He wants his revenge,. After all; Eve was the one who killed his mate.
” I can also tell you the same thing, alpha Abraham. Watch your back because the past can surface at any time.” I told him, and he stared at his beta at his side; I guess he didn’t expect me to find out so soon, but I did and he should fucking watch his head because once I confirm my suspicious, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee that I would be this calm.
” I would look for a way to erase all traces if I were you,” I told him, and I could see the confusion in his eyes. He was a smart man, and he wouldn’t panic easily, but I knew I would get to the bottom of my father’s murder, and I would fucking make him pay.
” Threatening the alpha king is now a thing this days. But I will not talk much; I will take my leave, but know that I will be waiting for your submission unless you want it the hard way. She killed her mother, how do you think she will be faithful to you as her mate? Think about it, I will give you time” he parted my shoulder before walking back to his car.
” What are we going to do next?” Vincent asked but I didn’t say a word. The only way to get him off my back was to take my pawn of flesh.
” Are you going to hand Bella over to him?”I growled as I turned towards Zack who bowed in submission. Abraham knew better than to expect me to hand my mate to him especially when I knew about his ploy with my uncle to bring my father down.
I didn’t know what happened or why it all happened, but I was sure Frank wasn’t the mastermind behind it, even though he was the one to benefit from my father’s death.
” You are in charge of her from now on, and if anything happens to her, you will fucking answer to me,” I warned Zack and he bowed. ” What is the plan?” Vincent asked and I chuckled. ” There is no plan.” Abraham was a tough nut to crack, but so he would lead us to the bottom of the matter.
He might not have reacted when I passed him the message, but I knew he would react; he would try something silly that would give him away.
” Just keep an eye on the alpha king. Let’s wait for a while, and we will know what to do next.” Abraham may be smart, but smart people weren’t free from mistakes.
Just at that instant, her scent rushed toward me and turned my head abruptly. She was with her beta friend, Diago’s rejected mate. But my eyes only stayed on her, they never moved from her until she got closer to me. Her eyes trace behind the moving cars before calling my name softly, her eyes looking back at me like never before.
“Is everything okay?” She asked but my eyes were only on her lips. ” You went into the lake?” My voice came as a whisper as I blushed, my nose against hers; her scent was pulling me in that I couldn’t fucking control myself.
” Who was that?” my face was buried in her neck, and my left hand was holding her tiny waist. ” Nothing you should worry about, ” I whispered, sticking my tongue out to lick her neck. My dick was fucking hard, and I could smell her arousal which made me a bit possessive as I pulled away and yanked her into my chest.
‘ Take her with you.’ I growled in the mind link, my hand wrapped around her possessively. She was mine and only I have the right to Smell her. ” This way,” I heard Zack instruct her and Bella immediately pulled her head out of my chest, ” What are you doing?” She asked, her eyes filled with lust and her wolf sticking her eyes out to show me her present. ” Privacy.” I kissed her on the lips without minding our surroundings.
It was a natural fact that fated mates carry sixty percent of our hearts and our sanity. Without Bella, I wouldn’t be stable.
I was about to carry her to my office when she pushed my hand away.” Are you alright?” She asked, her eyes staring back into mine. I guess she has noticed the change in my demeanor, and I wasn’t giving okay.
” I will be okay as long as you are here?” I carried her in my arms and started towards my office. Most of the pack members who bumped into us dared not look up.
I felt my mate was shy, so I let her bury her face in my chest even though it wasn’t helping her hide from the curious pack members.
She was deeply aroused and I was finding it hard to control myself. The beautiful smell of her arousal was making me lose my mind and it was all I could think of; Xade was pacing in my head and trying to force his way out.
Fucking her in front of the pack members was a powerful way to claim my territory, but would she want that?
I kicked the door of the office open and headed to my desk, where I placed her there with myself in between her thighs.
My hand traced her jawline down to her chin and then up to the side of her face. Her smooth skin coming softy in my palm, her soft lips begging to be kissed.” Open your eyes, Bella.” I leaned forward and whispered, my lips inch away from hers. ” You are beautiful, l,” I said, looking into her green eyes.
My hand slowly went behind her head and loosened her hair. ” It’s always better this way.” I said, and she parted her lips.” Why?” she asked curiously, and I leaned in to place a soft kiss on her cheek. ” Because it covers up a bit of your beauty.”
The small smile that appeared on her face pulled me in as I couldn’t hold myself and crushed my lips on hers. ” I love you, and I will always protect u,” I said, deepening the kiss as growls ran out of my mouth.
I could feel the front of my pants tightening and her hand moving down to unbuckle my belt.
My tongue couldn’t wait for any more minutes as it slipped into her mouth with the least opportunity. ” Roman…” she moaned my name as my right hand slipped under her shirt to feel her soft bare skin. The roughness of my palm moved up to her waist and then up to her chest where I blushed my fingers on her hard nipple.
I added my other hand and slowly took her shirt off, leaving her breast exposed before my eyes. She was beautiful Just like her wolf.
I moved my face down to her chest while her hands went down into my pant and pulled my hard dick out, I growled as I creased my teeth on her neck skin.
I didn’t realize I had closed the kind link until a knock came on the door.
I growled before pulling away from her neck, my wolfish eyes staring at her swollen lips and her naked chest.
” Roman.” Vincent’s voice came after the knock and I grabbed her shirt and shoved it on her before pushing my dick back in my pant and clouding my zip.
” what the fuck do you want?” I growled impatiently as I pulled the door open and I ran my hands through my hair.
” Juliet has remembered something,” he said, and I turned back to look at Bella, who was biting on her lips. ” I will be there shortly.” I shut the door in his face and strode back to her side.
” Sorry..” I said and she shook her head. ” It’s okay.” she held my hand. ” Let’s go hear what she has to say,” she said and I helped her on her feet.
