Contracted to the Wrong Alpha
Chapter 42
****
Lex’s Pov
“That’s not going to happen, Alveria!” I snapped at her and the shock that contorted her face was visible but I care less.
I might withdraw the affiliates I have with Green Howling Pack for Killing their Alpha but I would not render an apology and make Lilia serve the pack for a month to make an appeasement. They might kill her and give a flimsy excuse.
“But that’s the normal thing to do Alpha! The Alpha of Ring Shadow pack was an example when he killed a fellow Alpha as a mistake. You shouldn’t let stubbornness cloud your reasoning or a war might break out soon!” Alveria insisted but as much as she was right, I’m not doing that shit.
Ryker did something horrible and I acted, my actions shouldn’t be judged. Other packs know that too well than to mess with me, not even my father would dare say a word. Having Alveria as the Pack Priestess was making me begin to question my authority, I can’t believe that I would have to present my actions towards her to be judged or reprimanded.
I did what I did! Fuck rules and Principles.
“Well, Ryker should have thought better before he tried to rape my Luna!”
I spat out in fury, memories of what happened that night to Lilis shook me and I wished I had done more than killing.
“She’s just a Luna, Ryker is an Alpha and”
“She’s my Luna!” I growled at her and she flinched.
“And no one should mess with her, I’m not doing shit Dad. I’ll go to war if I try to appease them and they refuse. I need to go back to New York, I have a lot of pressing issues and I bet you have a conference tomorrow.” I told my dad who huffed.
“Don’t talk to Alveria like that!” He muttered as a plea and I bit my lips.
I know I should be respectful and all that but she was starting to get on my nerves, using her veto power to act on her interest. For whatever reason it is, I know she doesn’t like Lilia and would do all it takes to get rid of her.
“I’m sorry Alveria, but my word stands as the current Alpha of Midnight Shade Pack. I’ll make an appeasement to the Pack and if it’s acceptable and wishes to go to war which would affect them greatly judging from their numbers, then I have no choice. No one has the right to do that to anyone.”
She stared at me and smiled, a very fake one which had me scoffing.
“What if someone had done that to Seraphina, would you have let it slide and just go to war?” I froze at her statement and gripped the soft leather of the chair, ripping it off with my claws. My eyes burned in fury and my teeth trembled greatly which made my father uncomfortable.
“Besides, there are rumors that Lilia was once raped. I’m not trying to disrespect your Luna but she’s not worth the Pack’s stress.”
She added and I felt hot flames swirl around me in the room, it was as if hot sacks of stone were being stuck piled in my throat and I gritted my teeth so hard to keep myself at bay.
Alveria didn’t flinch and I bit my lips to keep me from yelling.
“Don’t mention Seraphina again! She’s gone.” I say, too quietly that it surprised me. I didn’t know about Lilia’s rape but the fact that she was once traumatized made me hate that fact.
In no time, I’m on my phone, texting my beta to find out everything about Lilia, about the tape, about the motherfucker behind it and her past relationships.
I don’t care if I’m overreacting but I just want Lilia to be safe before she leaves.
That last part irritated me as hell but I bit it back.
“I’m sorry Alpha, I’m just being empathetic with the Green Howling Pack. They would react the same way you’re reacting towards Seraphina’s death.”
That’s it.
I banged the center table so hard that it crushed pieces causing blood to seep from my hands but I couldn’t have less of that moment!
“DON’T FUCKING MENTION HER NAME!!” I yelled and my father sighed sadly and I stood up.
“Lex, calm down a bit. She’s just stating an example”
I turned to glare at him and I felt as if hot pins were poked into my brains.
“Then use your mate as an example Dad, she shouldn’t use mine! Never!! Until I find my second mate! I’m off to New York.” I told him and left the house without looking back.
I tried to fight the bubbling feeling of pain that was piling at the bridge of my throat.
I’m trying so hard to forget the Seraphina once existed, Goddess! I’m trying to do that every passing day of my life, I don’t need a reminder that I fucking lost my mate to a terrific sickness.
And now Lilia is on the line!
Bullshit! I’ll protect her with everything even if she’s not my mate.
Thinking about her right now made me miss her scent. I hope she’s okay and not bawling with anger as usual.
I wanted to call her, fuck! I was itching to do that but the imagination of her scowls and ferocious yell of mockery and disagreement made me back off.
I’ll see her tonight.
That’s enough.
It was past midnight when I reached home, Raven was awake as if he knew I was coming. He always looked prepared for my rantings, my yells, and my headache but he looked different that night.
More like an angry pissed person that just got off from a fight.
“Where’s Lilia?” I asked him first and he nodded.
“Her room, she’s okay”
“What’s with the attitude, anything wrong?”
He shook his head and shrugged.
“I’m fine, how was the meeting?”
“Bullshit! We’ll talk tomorrow, Rave. Call my brother to come over too, I miss him.” I told him and a low growl emitted from his chest and I chuckled.
“One of these days, you will have to tell me what grudges you have with my brother,” I told him and walked towards the direction of my room but Lilia’s scent knocked my senses off.
She smelt like lilies and roses, mixed with jasmine pint oil as if she marked territory in my home.
I didn’t know what came over me but I found myself going to her room and entering Inside.
She was dressed in her red silky nightie that was dangerously short, her laps were fully exposed and her ass were fully firm sideways.
My breathing hitched, my cock twitched and I swallowed knowing I had to get out but not until I covered the sheets on her sexy body.
I couldn’t risk another man coming to see her like this.
I stare at her for a moment, and my imagination takes me to a new place. What would it be like to be inside her again?
Fuck!
‘Xander stop.’
I warned my wolf but all I got was a vision of her opening her legs and my body sliding deep inside of hers. The blood rushes to my cock and I lose all coherent thought. I close my eyes as the air leaves my lungs.
‘I want her Lex! Let’s have her!’ He growled and I shook my head and shut my eyes, trying to cover the sheets.
“No.”
When I open my eyes, I’m unable to help it. I unzip my jeans and take my cock in my hand. Slowly, I stroke it as I drink her in. Imagining her soft moans and rearranging her legs. I can almost feel her movement to the tip of my cock, and I inhale sharply. Fuck. I need to get out of here. This is… wrong.
I stumble into the bathroom, lock the door, and peel my clothes off. I turn the shower on and get in under the hot water. I oil my hand up, and with thoughts of my Luna running naked through my mind… I fuck myself.
Hard.
