Alpha Dominic
Chapter 12

Bethany POV

I could hear Carl's laughter on the other side of the table. He is holding another woman in his arms and he looks happy to be here, living with the enemy.

He betrayed me!

He betrayed my father!

How could this happen?

When I felt Alexia wagging her tail excitedly, howling out the words, "Mate," I thought she was trying to tell me that Carl is here, I thought he was being held hostage in the dungeon. I never imagine that he is having a nice time with another woman. He promised to come for me, I waited for him for three years, who knew he was here enjoying his life as one of Kings Dominic's faithful lapdogs. I would never forgive him for breaking my heart. After my revenge on Dominic, my next target would be Carl, I'll make him pay for his betrayal.

A guy came forward and claimed Fiona for the Alpha. I couldn't have been more happier, he seems to be a good guy and I noticed the emotions in his eyes when he stared at her, I knew she was his mate and he would never let her get hurt. I'd rather prefer she spends time with him than with this demon seating next to me. I was so pissed when he had chosen her as his companion. Alexia too was furious at his choice, she was threatening to scratch out the eyes of the woman that has taken our mate from us, I guess its because she knows about my plans and she know how desperately I want to be his companion for the week. I could feel the jealousy flowing through her and I wondered if she is mad at Carl for leaving us or Dominic for choosing Fiona. I tried to understand her but this spray I'm using to mask my scent, it sometimes messes with my connection with my wolf, that is why I couldn't understand her feelings right now.

The party went on into the night. From the corner of my eyes, I watched as he drank more wine than was necessary. I must confess, the wine is pretty good, they brought out the best French wine for the ladies but I saw the omega's serving the men from a different jar. I could tell that it is a special brew that could make a werewolf tipsy. Soon enough, the guests were getting so intoxicated, little sobriety existed in the hall, and the guys started retiring with their companions so I'm guessing that every guy would be spending the night with their companions, Perfect!

That is exactly what I wanted. I would be left alone with a Drunk Alpha and there would be no one to stop me from taking my revenge on him. I need to leave the table again and this time, I don't know what excuses I can give. I've left a couple of times already and I know that he would be wondering what I sneak off to do. My scent masking spray doesn't last long, I have to run to the bathroom to use it as often as possible, or I stand a chance of getting exposed. The hall is getting empty, why wouldn't he just leave. Carl and his lover were still here but a lot of seats have been relinquished because the men have retired to their rooms. I wish I would just the taken away from here, I can't stand watching the public show of affection between Carl and his lover and I need to use my spray, like, right now.

"If you would excuse me, my king, I would like to use the restroom," I asked a little timidly. This is like the fifth time I'm doing this, I don't want to raise any questions.

"You seem to be using the restroom a lot, this evening, is everything alright with you?" Carl asked me curiously. The traitor!

Who said he could worry about my wellbeing?

Or maybe he is simply trying to call the kings attention to my tricks. I levelled him a furious gaze while trying my best to keep my anger in check so I don't slip off.

"I am fine, thank you for asking. I simply need to touch up my makeup a bit so I can look pleasing to my king," I spat out with a bit of sarcasm. King Dominic scoffed at my words, raising his head to gaze at me for some minutes before standing to walk away, leaving me behind. I gazed at his back as he left the room without me, it felt like rejection and Alexia felt it even more as she whined and whispered continuously. I just don't understand, why am I feeling this way? It's would almost seem like I miss his presence around me as he walked away. I felt a warm sensation flow through my body when he turned around and levelled me a stern look,

"You need a f*****g invitation?" he asked me from afar, looking furious for no damn reason. He had a lot of wine, I'm hoping he falls asleep immediately. He pulls to the stairs while I stare at him in disgust, wishing he trips and falls down the steps in his drunken state. Our light footsteps are the only things that could be heard as we walk further to stop in front of a large door that I assume is the master's bedroom as it is at the end of the hallway, and its door is larger than the rest. He stops at the door and turns around to ask me,

"What is your name?"

"Alexia," I responded softly causing him to scoff once more as he turns swiftly turned the doorknob and pushes it open for me to walk in. Turns out, it is not just a masters bedroom but an impressively large penthouse. The round walls, floor to ceiling, are mostly made of windows that give a beautiful view of the beach with the curtains pulled open. I never even knew that his castle had a beach behind it, I could feel the cool breeze as the waves glide to the shore. It's so late in the night and it's dark everywhere, but I could still make out the shapes of the palm trees on the beach as they move in sync with the breeze. I can imagine how beautiful it would be in the morning. There are beautiful lights that glistened on the path leading to the beach. Werewolves can see clearly in the dark so I'm guessing that those lights were put on because of the human visitors.

His widespread sitting room has two curved sofas with white and black cushions neatly arranged on them. The black tiles are neatly scrubbed and shining bright and the ceiling is sky-high. There is a bar on the other side and a spiralling staircase leading upstairs. King Dominic is sitting at the bar, Downing shots after shots of whisky, getting more drunk by the minute,

Good!

It would make it easier to end his pathetic life. I heard the beeping of my phone and I realized that I had not used my spray for a while. My scent would soon resurface but I know I have nothing to worry about, he would be too drunk to perceive my scent. I sat on the couch and waited for him to finish his drink so he can show me to my room, I'm sure he isn't expecting us to sleep together in this extremely beautiful room. We passed by some rooms on our way here and some are so close to his penthouse so I'm hoping to sleep in one of those rooms, then I can sneak back here when no one is watching. I'm sure he would fall asleep after all these drinks.

He staggered up from his seat at the bar and he moved to head up the stairs but I spoke out to stop him,

"Uh... Where will I be sleeping?" I asked warily, watching him closely.

"Here of course," he responds matter of fact as he continues climbing up the stairs. This is not possible, I'm not letting him touch me, I'm not a w***e, I'm simply a stripper.

"And you?" I asked nervously, dreading his response. He halts once more and turned to gaze at me with his perfect eyebrow corked up. My palm is sweating as I wait for his response.

"Here also," he smirked, obviously enjoying my discomfort.

"Excuse me?

But that's not possible. You are not paying to f**k me, you paid me to dance and tease you. I'm a stripper, not a w***e!" I speedily protest with eyes as wide as saucers as I dreaded his reaction. I can't deny killing him if I sleep in the same room with him, can I? I need to be in my own room, that's the plan and I'm not letting him ruin my plans.

He walks down the stairs, walking towards me in slow strides with his gaze pinned on me. He towers over my small frame as he walks closer to me. I saw him take in a deep breath and then I realized that my spray is gone, he can now smell me. As if on cue, my wolf howls excitedly as his scent hit me so had that I moved back in shock,

"Mate,"

Alexia screams in my head.

I was dumbstruck. I kept shaking my head as I took more steps backwards, moving as far away from him as possible. His stance and aura are intimidating, making me want to cower and hide in fear. His eyes take on a darker shade as he gazes deep into my eyes, letting his beast out to perk at me.

"Let's get one thing straight Bethany, or do you prefer Alexia?" he spat out in disgust,

"Just because I didn't mark and claim you in front of everyone when I first saw you, it doesn't mean I'm going to be giving you any space. A little warning Beth, I take an exception to deception and lies. I'm only letting you walk free without my bite mark on your pretty little neck because we have a lot of humans around here besides, I never asked for a mate, I don't want you. I'm just putting up with all this because I'm trying to figure out the deal about you and how you got to be a stripper." He let out mockingly. "How did he know?" I thought within me. It's got to be Carl, he sold me out to his King because he sure isn't my king. How could he hate me so much, I thought he loved me? We were planning to spend our lives together, how did it come to this, how could he do this to me?

By now, my back is against the wall as he keeps coming closer to me and I have nowhere else to go. He traps me with one of his hands beside my head on the wall while I stare up at him, gulping saliva down my dry throat. He looks pissed as hell but he is trying to restrain himself from doing something.

I thought he was going to hurt me, I was expecting the pain but it didn't come. He leans his face closer to mine, and our lips are almost touching as he hisses and inhales my scent to calm down,

"Don't think for one second that I'll be denying myself from having you in every possible way that I can. You're mine Bethany, mine!" he groans into my ear. I felt his lips on my neck sending zaps of electricity down my whole body, and I involuntarily let out a moan of pleasure. His eyes moved to my boobs and I saw them darken in lust. How did I end up this way, I want to move away, I want to push him away, but I have no control over my own body.

He doesn't stop, he moves closer, eliminating any space between us, I could feel his boner poking at my stomach. His hands go around my waist as he pulls me in for a passionate kiss, His lips were so soft and supple and I could still taste the tangy remnants of the whisky he had been drinking earlier.

I melted into the kiss as his tongue slipped into her mouth, exploring every inch and corner. I responded to his kisses, kissing him so hungrily, pouring all my desires into it, desires that I never knew existed. He slid one hand under my gown, caressing my thighs while he placed the other hand at the back of my head and deepened our kiss, sucking at my lips and tongue.

I got so intoxicated and all sane thought flew out the window as I wrapped my hands around his neck and responded with equal desires, moaning out softly and kissing him back. His hands moved up my thighs and found their way into my thong, he cupped my s*x and moaned loudly, my voice sounding alien to me. I bucked my hips forward, grinding against his hard d**k.

I was so aroused that I forget about my plans. I even forget about my thirst for revenge, all I desired was to quench these burning desires. I need to snap out of this, I'm losing to him, I'm letting him win. I can't let him control me this way, it's just not right. There is no way the moon goddess would give me this monster as a mate, it's just not possible.

With his large hand on my waist, holding me in place, he brings down his lips and sucks on my marking spot, making me moan out louder than before as he sucks and bites at that spot. I'm so lost in our passionate moment, my head is urging me to stop this at once, but my body has other plans. He slipped a finger into my dripping wet p***y, causing me to shiver in desires. That f*****g did it, I shivered and broke off our kiss, pushing him away as my breathing came out hard and fast. I looked up and saw him smiling smugly, looking so pleased with his actions. It's so infuriating to know that I have no control of my body when he is around me.

"You bastard!!!

What did you do to me?

I'm not your f*****g ma..."

"You would never speak to me in that tone!" he cuts me off with a sharp look and I close my mouth shut immediately, his aura is too strong to dismiss. His eyes softens back as he turns around and made his way up the stairs.

"Are you going to stand there all night?" he asks me when he got to the top of the stairs and noticed that I was still planted on the same spot, looking like a freaking zombie. I forced my legs forward and climbed up the stairs, following him into an extremely large widely spaced bedroom. There is a king-sized bed in the middle laid with black and white bedsheets. The lighting in his bedroom is dim, but the white walls make it look brighter. The curtains are drawn close, the bedside lamp is on but it's also dim. There are two doors across the room and I'm sure it leads to a bathroom and a walk-in closet. He sure knows how to spend his money, everything in this house, the design and decorations are extravagant, but it has a hint of elegance and it suits his personality.

I was right when I said that my spray messes with my wolf. Now that the spray is gone, I can feel and smell better. His scent is more evident in this room, it's swirling around and it fills my nostrils, making me unable to think clearly as it fills my head with different erotic thoughts. His scent is a mixture of pine and wood and although he is now in the bathroom having a shower, I could still feel his presence in this room.

"I.. I.. I need my things," I stuttered out, hating myself for losing my self-confidence in his presence.

"The omega's moved your things to my closet," he responded dryly as he took off his clothes and made his way to the bathroom.

How do I sleep in this room in this room with him, on the same bed without letting this s****l tension between us to take over, the mate bond is so frustrating and annoying. While he is in the bathroom, I walked into the walk-in closet, and just like he said, my stuff was in there, just the way I left them in my bag. I sighed frustratedly when I realized that I didn't pack any decent sleeping clothes. I had no choice, I had to settle on a sleeveless, see-through corset nightie with a thong. It's either that or I go to bed in a party gown. "Dear God, what did I do to be paired with the most ruthless and heartless man to ever walk this earth?

He can kill me in cold blood if he wishes to, no one would dare say anything to him or question his decision. The worst part of it all is that I can't deny the attraction between us, I can't deny our bond, it's too strong to be ignored. I heard the door open and I turn to stare at the goddess of a man as he steps out of the bathroom with a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips, while he uses another to wipe his hair and body. I watched his muscles flexing as his hands move to wipe the water from his body. His hair is still wet and some droplets of clean sparkling water fall down his neck, moving down to his chest and before disappearing into the V-shape on his hips.

He is indeed gorgeous. He has dark curly hair, his eyes as blue as the sea and warm like the sky in summer, although his look is sharp and his features defined. He has a pointed nose with a light stubble covering his jaw. He caught me staring and I don't even try to hide the fact that I replace him attractive. He looked into my eyes, walking towards me slowly. I felt trapped under his gaze and his scent hit me pretty hard, making me draw in a sharp breath as Alexia showed me erotic pictures of the both of us. He got close to me and circled round to stand behind me,

"I can smell your arousal, dear mate." he whispers into my ears as he leans down and drops a light peck on my neck before turning to walk towards his closet. The sparks flew from the spot where he made contact with my skin and I felt the mate bond between us as my whole body shivered in need of his touch.

The monster!!!

Bastard!

He is taunting me with my feelings. He smirks as he walks away, leaving me standing in the middle of the room. The bastard must die tonight. I'll make my move when he is asleep, I'll f*****g kill him before this bond grows stronger and turn me into a weak wolf. I won't let him win again.
