The Alpha Can’t Sense His Mate

ATHALIAH’S POV

“You must be out of your mind!” Cole gripped me by the throat once they were out of sight.

“Alpha..” I breathed, fighting the urge to punch him in the face with a smile on my face.

“How dare you mention that name!” He roared, “Is this it? Was this your plan all along? To get her to recover her memories? Did you think I wouldn’t find out?”

“Listen to me!” I got out of his hold, coughing hard. “I might be stupid, but not that stupid. Believe it or not, I knew what I was doing.” I took a deep breath and my tone became sifter. “Everything I did was for your best interest.”

Cole let out a deranged laugh and I thought I might have taken my experiment too far. What were the odds of me leaving here with my life? It would depend on how this went.

“Tell me, gamma.” He cooed, and goosebumps filled my arm. “Make it make sense or you might end up like the herbalist you were yapping about.” He scrunched his face. “What’s it again? Shilhi?”

I swallowed and placed my best foot forward. “I know it looks bad, but I promise, there is an explanation for this.” I began, “It’s clear that the Luna has been keeping something from us. We don’t know to which extent she has regained her memories and the last thing we need is to be taken off-guard.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Doesn’t explain why you had to reveal the identity of Shilhi to her!” Cole roared, advancing towards me. “If you were on my side, I’d expect you’d keep your mouth shut on anything that could trigger her memory.”

“That’s the point.” I bellowed, “If you are always running away from the subject matter, she would remain curious. If we are to find out what she’s keeping from us, we have to earn her trust and take the bull by the horns.”

“Sometimes, hiding our cards can be a recipe for losing the game. If we are to know what is going on with her, the best approach is to win her trust, and that can only come by risking telling her certain information.”

Cole scoffed, but I could tell I was getting to him.

“Think of it this way. It’s give and take. If you want her to trust you, or any of us enough to tell us how she is truly faring, then you need to be able to tell her things that she is desperate to know. Not everything. But enough to keep her satiated and secure.”

Cole stood a few inches from me, and his breath was heavy. “And if it doesn’t work? What if she doesn’t fall into our hands after everything? Would you take responsibility if she decides to go?” He asked, but his gaze roamed my body.

“If it doesn’t work she can’t blame us for the actions we’ll take.” I smirked, “I believe you can take what belongs to you. Whether she likes it or not.”

That did it. A purr of approval left his mouth and he pushed me against the dinner table. “Why do I hate that you are right?” He grumbled into my ears, and I felt his hardness pressing in my centre.

I bit my lip. “You can punish me if you so desire.” I looked up at his unwavering eyes, and with a small voice, I said, “I can take it.”

A hungry growl left Cole’s throat and the next thing I heard was the tear of my thigh slit gown. “Oops!” He said but he was not sorry.

I placed my arms on the dinner table, supporting my weight, and feeling risque at the thought of doing it so publicly. Anyone could walk in and catch us. The danger of it made my centre pool with wetness.

His hands found my panties and he tore them in one pull – leaving red marks on my hips and legs. “Dirty, dirty girl.” He cooed when he felt my wetness, my eyes rolled back in pleasure as he slid one finger into my core. “You are already wet for me.” He bit my lobes, “Were you expecting this? Huh? Were you hoping to get fucked?”

I bit back my words, unable to speak as he assaulted me with two fingers.

“Bitch. You look like a slut, opening your legs for another.” He spat on my core, and I heard the unbuckling of his belt. “How many people have you opened your legs to?” He growled, “How many have you allowed to defile you?”

“No-” I was unable to finish my words before he shoved his shaft into me. “oomph.” I bit back the scream at the tip of my tongue.

“That’s it.” Cole raised my leg and shoved deeper inside of me. “Take it like the dirty girl you are.”

My eyes were on the door, and my hands rested on the table as he pummelled into me, while I took it like a champ. I couldn’t lie, fucking Cole was good, but Azriel took the trophy.

As he pounded into me, I found myself wishing for the sparks that came with Azriel grinding into me. The wholesome feeling and how perfectly his dick stretched me. If only he were an Alpha. I’d mate the fuck out of him.

That’s why I needed to be an alpha. If I could get a pack as the Alpha, I could easily convince him to join me as my mate. It’d be a win-win.

A guttural growl from Cole told me he was at the edge. I took over with a smirk, riding him silly to the finish line. His seed poured inside me and it felt all shades of wrong but I took it like a good girl.

letting it drip down my core while he watched with fascination. “Is it wrong that I wish you were Calla?” Cole said and my smile faded.

Was he thinking of her all these while?

I forced on a smile and sat on the table with my torn dress, “If you want her that badly, why don’t you mark her?” I suggested, having nothing else to say.

Cole chuckled, “You just want Zadok to yourself.” He said in an accusing tone.

For the first time, I realised it’s been a while since I thought about Zadok, or being his luna. These days, my fantasies included Azriel and all I wanted was the power of being a pack leader – A role destined for me, had some witches not wiped out my father’s pack.

I let my finger wander through his body, “What if I told you I want you both?” I said, biting my lips, and gauging him with innocent eyes.

“Be careful what you wish for,” Cole warned, and I felt chills down my spine.

“I know exactly what I want,” I said and with a boldness, caged him between my thighs, and slowly guided myself into his shaft.

It felt so good, as I slowly worked my way through a second round, shamelessly letting my moans fill the air.

Unknown to them, the door slightly opened and teary eyes watched them go at it till they couldn’t anymore.
