Alpha Dominic
Chapter 15

Dominic's POV

I can recognize her scent, she smelled like warm honey, it was so sweet and calming as usual, so amaz wolfsbane. I came face to face with a pair of black orbs gazing at me a little too closely if you ask me. "Whoa... whoa... Hold on, it's only me and Carl," she let out hurriedly. I sighed when I saw that it was o riet, but when I turned to acknowledge Carl, I got hit with that intoxicating agent again. I got up and followed the scent, walking towards Carl. I saw the nervousness in his face but he did well to hide it while looking at me curiously. Realization dawned on me as her amazing scent hit me with a full force when I got to where he stood. "Do you have something you wish to share with me?" I asked in a sharp tone, sending him into full-blown panic. "W... W... What do you mean?" he asked back, trying to look surprised but I saw right through his act and it infuriates me to see him lying to my face. I felt Scott trying to come out and rip off his head for daring to go near our mate, It was so hard to keep him in check because we at both as furious as hell. I was able to keep him locked up in my head but I wasn't able t ol my burning anger and before I knew what was happening, I had him by the throat as I lifted him off the floor, glaring daggers at him.

opened my eyes slowly, hoping she'll be in my arms, wishing that last night has only been a dream and she hadn't really shot me with a bullet laced with got startled by her peering gaze and I shot upright, reaching for a weapon.

"I can f*****g smell her all over you. How dare you defy my orders?" I growled out in anger before throwing him the other way, sending him flying across the room with so much force that his landing shattered the glass table that he hit. Somewhere in my head, I could hear the surprised gasp coming from across the room and I could also hear Harriet's voice as she yells and pleads on his behalf, begging me to let him go, trying to convince me that he didn't do anything wrong and he did not tell her anything about me. I wanted to believe her, but I couldn't do anything about it because I am no longe in control, Scott is.

Before he could get his bearing, I was right on top of him, beating the crap out of him, punching him so hard that my hand hurts. He did not try to fight back, he lay there like a sack of potatoes and took my punches. That was even more infuriating than the thought of him going up to my bedroom to see my mate. I don't know how long I kept punching Carl and I don care, he's a f*****g werewolf and he is going to heal in a few minutes. I'll be the one to suffer the most pain because I still have wolfsbane in my system and

it slows down every damn thing.

I heard the sound of the door opening and I heard doctor Fred's voice as yells and begs me to stop, but I turned a deaf ear and I kept it going until I fell down next to him on exhaustion. Harriet ran over to her mate and cradled him in her arm, sobbing softly. I wished Bethany would hold me in her arms this way, how did I end up with a mate that is as stubborn as lam?

The moon goddess must be feeling quite hilarious when she merged us together. I'm sure she must be having a nice laugh up there as she watches me struggle to understand my mate. She must be enjoying my pain as I suffer to get my mate to accept and love me. I tried to get up but my body felt like dead weight, I couldn't move any part of my body. My gun wound ding through the gauze that is wrapped around my arm and my fist is sore from punching Carl so hard. I'm sure I'll be having blisters later on if I don't replace a way to purge out the wolfsbane from my system in other for Scott to heal me faster.

Doctor Fred came over to help me up but I swatted his hands away, choosing to bear the pain as I stru "Get the f**k out of here, all of you." I ordered sternly, releasing my aura to suppress them. I'm weak b previous drugs I took but slapped it out of his hand, giving him a look that says, f**k off!

to stand up on my own. I dragged my bloodied body to the bed and I climbed back on it, refusing the help of the doctor when he came back to help me. of the wolfsbane and so is my aura but I'm sure I still have control over my subjects. The doctor gave me some drugs, saying it was the follow-up of the

He turned around and stormed off angrily, shutting the door with a loud bang that reverberated around the room. I cursed under my breath as I felt my head aching from all the trauma. I can't recall the last time I had a headache, Scott is a strong beast, stronger than your average Alpha wolf, and he always heals me before it gets too serious. I'm not surprised though, he is made to be a king.

Harriet held Carl's hand as she led him to the door. He is close to recovering fully but he looks resistant to leave and I could tell that she was trying to force him out herself. He stopped when they got to the door and she turned to glare at him but he only smiled down at her and kissed her tenderly on the forehead. Their public show of affection make me sick in the stomach, or is this jealousy that I'm feeling? Damn, I think I'm going insane. He leaned forward and whispered something in her ears, then he urged her out of the room and turned to look at me with a sullen expression,

"Don't test my patience Carl, you'd surely regret it if I get angrier than I am right now, just get the hell out of here." I warned him sternly, ignoring the remorseful look on his face.

"I'm sorry man, I only wanted to help. I thought could convince her to see you differently and forget about the lies her father made us believe. I did not share your secrets with her and I did not tell her anything about the lycan king, hell, I didn't even ask her about her dealings with him. I only told her to give you a chance because you are her mate from the moon goddess and there is absolutely nothing she can do to change that. I only wanted to help you two because I hate this fight between you, I want it all to stop, my king. Please believe me." He pleaded softly, looking so sad that I almost fell for it and I nearly forgot to ask the question that has been plaguing me since I picked up her scent on him.

"Did you touch her?" I asked him squarely, making his eyes go wide in shock.

"Oh, wait, let me rephrase that, Did she throw herself at you and beg you to screw her and run away with her?" I asked tauntingly, making him grind his teeth in anger. Good, let him feel what I'm feeling right now.

"Take it from me man, this attitude of yours would only make her hate you even more. I don't know how or why she is here with these girls, but Bethany Delaney is not a w***e. I can't tell if she is really one of the strippers or maybe she is pretending to be one just to gain access to you, but one thing is certain, she would never peddle her body for money. She is not that desperate.

Besides, why would I screw your mate when I have an equally beautiful and amazing mate from the moon goddess?

The thought of that is so repulsive to me. I would never do anything to hurt Bethany or my mate Harriet, and I would never betray you like that. You're not just my king Dominic, you're also my friend and friends do not go about screwing their friend's babe. I only wanted to help out because I still feel guilty for helping her escape from you three years ago." He confessed with a sad smile. I could tell that he is thinking about the incident that happened in their pack three years ago. Now I feel bad for accusing him of screwing my woman. When will I learn to trust the people around me?

"Did it work, I mean, did she listen to you?"

"Nope, she spat on my face, like literally spitting on my face. She is not the Bethany I used to know, she has changed so much. She swore to have your head and she threatened to come after Harriet and I after she kills o. Gosh, she is so tough. She practically chased me out of your room and threatened to scream and alert you to my presence if I don't leave at once.

You'll have your hand full with that one, I assure you. The old Bethany I used to know was stubborn, very stubborn I tell you. But this one, this new Bethany with the redhead, she isn't just stubborn, she spits out fire like a dragon. I hope you two don't end up killing each other." He joked with a shake of his head, letting out a defeated sigh. I chuckled at his exaggeration, although he isn't far from the truth though. This mate of mine is as hot as fire and I have to confess, I love getting burnt by her flames. How I would enjoy taming her into a submissive Luna that would rule by my side as my Queen.

Wait,

I thought I didn't want a mate, when did I start wishing to have her by my side forever? Damn this cursed mating bond. It's turning me soft, it's making me feel like a teenage lover boy that is excited about courting his first girlfriend. She f*****g shot me, yet I'm still attracted to her. I can never let my men replace out that I got shot by a woman, it sounds so ridiculous. I'll have to stay indoors until this wound heals, or better yet, I'll wear something to cover it up.

"See to it that everything goes smoothly, Carl. I'll be out a little bit late. Send more guards to secure our boundaries and let the guys continue with their celebrations." I instructed Carl, urging him out of the room. He nodded calmly before turning around to leave. Just before he shut the door, he pushed his head in once more,

"You need to take the drugs from Fred, we need you at full strength if anything should go wrong." He advised calmly, but I chose to ignore him and focus more on my phone. He scoffed at my reaction before shutting the door and leaving to go carry out my instructions. I know I should probably listen to everyone and take the damn drugs, but I just don't want to. I deserve to feel this pain for being a complete a*****e. I could go in there and talk to her but my ego would not let me. I deserve all this, I deserve to be rejected, I just hope she stops getting on my nerves because I may not be able to control my anger next time. I wouldn't want to slip and end up hurting her. That would be bad, so bad.

"Take some food to my mate and make sure she is okay," I ordered Harriet through our mind link, hearing the grudge in her tone as she responds to me. I guess she is mad at Beth for putting her mate in trouble with me. Who would blame her, I can relate to the feeling of having your mate's ex living with you in the same house. It's so f*****g upsetting. Unknown POV

The redhead,

She could be the key to putting an end to this Alpha king once and for all. I've never seen the Alpha king so riled up and vulnerable before. I've been a spy in this Castle for over two years. It was during his raids at one of the packs that had a very large population, I found a weak spot where his warriors neglected and I snuck in and they took me as a member of this pack. I pledged my allegiance to the king and I got to be chosen and trained as one of his warriors.

The Lycan King Ashford put me here to replace out his secrets and weaknesses that we can use to defeat him, he promised to put me on the throne as the king of all wolves. I only have to help him defeat King Dominic and the throne will be mine, but so far, I have not been able to get close enough to learn about his affairs, he keeps his circle tight. I can count the number of people he trusts with my fingers, he is just so strict and fearless. I was a strong warrior before I got here, but I still couldn't keep up with his training. I compete with his generals, they are the ones he trusts the most and their training is more severe because they are expected to lead his warriors into battle. If only I was as tough as his generals, I could have been chosen to lead his warriors too and I would have been counted as one of his trusted friends. But I'm just a warrior, that is why I haven't been able to replace out anything about him. All I know is that he is not as evil as people think and he doesn't treat his omegas terribly, he is fair and just in ruling his people. I never found his weakness, until now. This redhead, she has a way of getting under his skin. I've never seen him acting this way, he never pays much attention to any woman, he simply uses them to satisfy his s****l desires, then he pays them off and gets back to building his empire. But not this girl, this one girl is the first woman he has taken to his floor, to his bedroom. If I don't know better, I'll say that he is in love with this girl. I watched as she teased him with her sexy moves and it was so obvious that he was aroused by her moves. He tried to hide it, but I saw it anyways. Has he fallen in love with a stripper?

If that were the case, then I'll be happy to report to the King that I have found his weak point. She is a stripper, so I'm sure she would be bought over with money. We simply have to extend our offer to her and make it as eye-catching and tempting as King Dominic's offer, even more tempting. I'm sure she would never be able to refuse our offer, I just have to get to know her a little, I need to talk to her friends so I can know her desires. I sneaked to the omega's quarters I asked Bianca for information about her and she pointed me to her friends, saying she had begged to be put in the same room as her friends.

While at the party, I sized up her friends, looking for the most vulnerable that I can trick into helping me. I would have chosen the crackhead, but I thought against it. She is so high on drugs and I'm sure she would be of no use to me, she wouldn't even remember her own name in that condition, let alone give me the information I need. The second girl was taken by the king, so I had to rush forward and snatch the little one among them. She is so young and innocent and I wondered what she is doing here in the first place. She is obviously a novice in this game and she looks uncomfortable in this environment, yet she dressed the part, looking like a professional stripper, and she came here looking for money. I'm sure I'll replace out all I need from her, I just have to shower her with gifts and pretend to love and care about her. I'm sure she would fall for my tricks and spill out everything to me. I can do away with her after I get what I'm searching for. For now, she is going to be my number one priority.

She said her name was Ciara and she confessed to me that it is her real name. I was surprised she gave me her real name, these strippers never use their real names, they always go by an alias. While the king was getting teased by the other girls, I asked her their names and she told me that the drug addict is her sister and the redhead is her best friend. The other girl is called Carol on stage but her real name is Graciela. The redhead is called Alexia on stage but she doesn't know her real name because she likes to keep her affairs a secret.

I'm suddenly so curious to know all about this redhead, everything about her is just so mysterious. I will uncover all the mysteries surrounding her and I'll make her my ally. She is the perfect person to help me get information about king Dominic. I just have to replace a perfect strategy to lure her to my side. First, I'll use Ciara to get acquainted with her, then I'll get her to disclose the weaknesses of the king to me.

While they partied, I took the opportunity to order some pretty amazing things for Ciara. I'll make her fall in love with me, then I'll use her to get close to Alexia. With Alexia by my side, I'll defeat king Dominic and I'll be crowned king of all wolves.
