Code Red
Alpha Zane’s POV again
“Goddess! You are a witch,” I grunt as I release my seed deep inside her for the third time.
She is dead tired, I can tell by her slowed movements. She can’t handle my werewolf strength yet, her frequent orgasms have weakened her considerably.
But she feels so fine, her walls clinging to my cock and the pleasure she gives me makes me want more. I must take care of her now, but once we are in the pack, I need to build up her stamina. Why does she feel like my mate? Not that I have that much experience with that, but the way our bodies are in sync is too good for an ordinary bed partner.
Again I look to Claw for confirmation, but he is silent as the grave.
‘Please, beast. Is she ours? Is she our second chance mate? I can’t bear the thought of losing her,’ I beg my wolf.
‘Why are you still in doubt? You’ve already made up your mind, you’re keeping her. What more do you want to hear from me, human?’ he snaps at me in disbelief. Resigned, I turn away from him, kiss my girl deeply again and pull her with me as I lie down beside her.
“Did I satisfy you, Zane? Are you feeling good?” I hear a slight panic in her voice, a desire for confirmation from me. This frightens me, what has that bastard Diggens done to this jewel? How could she doubt herself, had she not noticed how intensely I possessed her? It was as if I wanted to chain her to me for life, forgetting that the chances of having to let her go were real.
“You were the best I ever had. You are amazing, I already know that I will never be able to let you go. Clarita …”. In time I managed to stop myself from asking her to marry me according to the culture of the humans. There is such an urge in me to mark her, Claw is the one resisting. I don’t know what’s bothering him, he must feel the bond with her too, right?
“I want to make some arrangements with you, Clarita. But I must emphasize that I want you with me forever. You are my number one priority in life, I want to be not only your lover but also your best friend”.
She jumps up, sits down and stares at me with tearful eyes.
“Are you serious? No one has ever said that to me. I’m going to hold you to that, Zane. I’ll always hold you to those words.” She clings to me, hiding her face in my hair. I feel her tears on my shoulder, if she only knew what I have in store for her. She wouldn’t know what hit her when I showered her with so much love.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
‘Zane, you need to hear this. It’s extremely important. Code Red,’ I suddenly hear Kensley, my Head Warrior, in the mind link. I am startled by his message, Code Red is the signal of war.
‘I beg your pardon? Who dares to attack our pack? Make yourself clear, Head Warrior,’ I growl menacingly, ready for whatever may come.
‘I don’t know how to tell you this, Zane. Prepare for the worst shock you’ve ever had in your life. Damn it, why is it me who has to give you this bad news?
‘Cut the nonsense, Kensley. Say it plainly. And don’t trot off, my patience is wearing thin.’
‘Zane, you have been misled. It was not Luna Ariel who was here at Midnight Moon. It was her sister Alexis. They switched. That’s why she was so cold to you.’
I hold my breath, this can’t be true. Is this Gorgio’s work? That was why it was so quiet around him, he was always out of sight. And Alexis, I’ve seen her a few times, she’s just a little girl, she can’t be of the age to have a mate yet.
‘How could they have done that? I clearly recognized Ariel. Alexis looks a lot like her, but not in such a way that someone wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Have you checked your facts properly?’
‘Remember there was a witch with her? A hybrid? Well, that one made us see Ariel. But it was Alexis all along.’
Anger runs through my veins like a flame, I cannot accept that I was treated like this. That is why I still vaguely feel the bond with Ariel, and she still haunts my thoughts. Now I understand why the bond didn’t work, it was Alexis all along. And those damned witches, they never have good intentions, always meddling in other people’s business. When this is all over, I will destroy the nearest coven, kill them all and burn their settlement to the ground.
‘Come back at once. We must go to the Council. And speak out against the Alpha King. We have to find out who is behind this plot.’
Kensley is right. This must be investigated to the end. And I demand justice, even if the Alpha King is implicated in these nefarious acts by his daughters and son-in-law. I want to see blood spilled, my pain must be avenged.
I turn to the woman in my arms.
By now, she has noticed a change in my mood. She stares at me anxiously, my sudden change making her nervous.
“Clarita, I have some urgent business to attend to. Amelia will drop you off at your car. Wait for me, I’ll meet you when I’m done.” Uncertain, she stares at me and then the first tears fall.
“Do you promise? Or do you just want to get rid of me?”
Now I am off balance. Sure, the news that my fated mate is still out there changes everything. I now have to deal with Ariel, I don’t know how this will all end. Her actions prove that she does not appreciate our mating. I look back at the beautiful woman on my lap.
“What we had was too good to just get rid of you. I don’t want to lose you. I want you to wait for me, no matter how long it takes”. Our kiss is now one of desperation, both of us unsure of the future. She dives into the bathroom while I pull on my jeans and shirt.
‘Mase, we’re leaving. Amelia takes Clarita to the cars. We have Code Red in Midnight Moon, so the women are staying here in Human Town.’
‘Code red? Who are we at war with?’ he asks curiously now. With his Gamma genes, Mase has always stayed in top shape.
‘As soon as the women are safely ashore, I’ll fill you in.’…
