Captive Of The Alpha
Chapter 107

When Sara had heard the fateful news that her protector’s puppy had died… again she knew what was going to happen. So she wasn’t shocked to see him run off splintering the window and getting lost in the trees surrounding the huge mansion. What did shock her was when Siran stopped her by grabbing her arm.

And Sara could have sworn that every hair on her body stood on end. Fear, panic, and the memory of those hate-filled eyes staring back at her. She wasn’t afraid of Siran as such, but of his total rejection as it had happened that night and had made her cry until that morning making her eyes hurt.

Which was why she had run away earlier so as not to hear it again. If he hated her she would rather it was only in her mind. His words would destroy her and at that moment she had to stay strong. She was Hades’ support and she couldn’t break.

So she transformed and ran in his wake.

The alpha had used his ability to move quickly so she was sure he was far away. But his scent was strong exuding a dense tide of pheromones. It wouldn’t be hard to replace him. And so it was.

Hades was sitting with his head in his arms next to his secret place. That small space surrounded by plants and a beautiful mirror of water that didn’t ease the pain inside the sobbing wolf’s chest. Sara’s heart broke.

Hades was too good, too benevolent a wolf. He had his way of doing things but always looking for the best for everyone and he only asked for a puppy in return. A light to brighten their days. The happiness of being parents that was always denied to her.

And that was the first time Sara wished, with all her strength, even more than Siran was her mate… that Hades would replace a she-wolf that would make him happy. Not knowing that her wishes could be heard.

A week had passed since what had happened. And as was always the case, Hades had fully recovered from his loss, or so it seemed. The truth was that he hid his pain deep inside him and showed his best face. He was the alpha of the pack. He had to be strong for many and not stay whining in a corner no matter how much it hurt.

Siran was no better off either although the situations did not compare. But unlike Hades, the reason he was in an internal dilemma was because Sara was completely ignoring him. Rather, she was running away from him. If he used to see her just for the fun of it, now he couldn’t even replace her when he was looking for her. It was as if he detected her scent and she vanished.

That made him in a very bad mood, and he was already in a sour mood.

-What’s wrong, Siran,” Hades asked without looking up from the documents in his hands, “You’re frowning more than usual.

Siran hadn’t noticed that fact.

-It’s nothing alpha,” Siran said a little reluctantly.

But Hades knew him well enough after several years of working together. A faint smile appeared on his lips, apparently it was his turn to work as cupid before someone else got hurt.

-Hey Siran, you should congratulate Sara,” he blurted out right off the bat.

The beta looked at him blankly.

-Why would I do that? Is there a recent event for that?

-Well,” the alpha crossed his fingers in front of his face, “My little girl is going to engage with a wolf to bond with him. Her rut is coming and she intends to make it a stable relationship.

…

-What?” was all Siran could say after hearing that.

-Yes, my friend. Sara is a young and beautiful wolf and she needs a male by her side to support and pamper her and since you are giving yourself airs of a superior wolf she looked elsewhere,” said Hades bluntly knowing the consequences of his words.

-Are you playing games with me,” he growled unconsciously.

-Yooo, not at all,” a mischievous grin appeared on the wolf’s face.

But it was enough for Siran to drop the papers in his hand on the alpha’s table with a jerk and walk out the door, turning. Hades guffawed for the first time in days. It was time for something more lighthearted and an engagement would be quite nice.

Siran ran through the corridors of the pack where several wolves clung to the wall so he wouldn’t run into them. It wasn’t normal to replace the beta so upset and less so in his wolf form in the middle of the manor. But Siran didn’t care about that. His mind was filled with something else.

Hades’ words played over and over in his head.

Engagement?

Companion?

With another wolf?

No, that wouldn’t do. It couldn’t be. And her mind clouded over.

Sara was conversing with a wolf in the mansion’s gardens when she felt a strong scent envelop her, making her legs petrify. She looked to the side and shivered. A huge cream wolf was coming towards her. Its eyes glowed dangerously.

-Siran,” her voice trembled.

What did he want, to finish that day? The wound on her arm was gone, but it still throbbed where the claws had pierced the skin.

-What’s wrong Sara,” the wolf asked stepping protectively in front of her although if it was the beta coming towards them there wasn’t much he could do. One command and he would retreat.

As it happened when Siran was only two metres away and he transformed so fast his bones creaked.

-It’s time for you to get lost,” the beta growled at the wolf that was vaguely protecting Sara.

He looked over his shoulder and muttered a sorry and with his pale complexion he ran away. Sara stood in place, swallowing dryly. She had never seen Siran like that. So human and so wild at the same time. His fur still retained the golden coloration of his coat, his normally arranged hair was messy with hair over his forehead giving him a completely different look from the usual straight wolf. And those eyes, hell, they were scary both for how intensely they looked at her, and for how possessive they were.

She wanted to get out of there but stayed strong.

-What do you want?” she plucked up her courage.

She was only uselessly delaying the moment. She wanted him to come once and for all, it would hurt anyway, and it was better to get out of it now and start again. That was what he had talked about with hades.

Siran’s hand wrapped tightly around her to keep her from escaping.

-Is that cowardly wolf the one you’re going to bond with,” Siran’s words were gruff and loaded with jealousy? It completely disconcerted Sara.

-He… he… he…” she didn’t know what to say. She didn’t understand what was going on. Siran had never behaved like this before.

So strange, so impulsive, so… so… so…

-I won’t allow it- the beta growled completely euphoric, as if panic invaded his chest- I won’t allow you to stop looking at me so easily after so many years behind me for a wolf lesser than me. I will not give you to anyone.

And before Sara could take in what was happening, what the wolf was saying, Siran’s arms pulled her to his bare chest and his lips sought hers. Sara was petrified at the first contact with the wolf’s mouth.

Her brain stopped working.

She could only surrender to the sensation of being touched, kissed by the beta, if only for a few seconds. Siran’s mouth was warm, warmer than she had imagined. His lips sucked on hers softly, yet possessively, as if wanting to memorize the shape of them. Sara hesitated her response and only after a few seconds she let her instinct take over and followed him, opening her lips slightly. Siran’s tongue was soon inside her mouth licking and devouring every little nook and cranny. As their saliva mingled and their pheromones enveloped them.

Only when they were satisfied with the deep k**s did the wolf’s head part slightly with a trickle of saliva between them, letting their breaths join as they took them in. Sara could see how the wolf’s eyes were shining now but in a different way and they were just… beautiful.

-Sara, you are mine. Remember that,” and he smiled slightly pleased. Everything had turned out better than he had remembered.

The she-wolf gasped at his words only to lift a leg and slam it right into the wolf’s crotch causing her to let go. Siran fell to his knees groaning and looking up at a blushing Sara.

-So many years of falling behind and now you come to me with that,” she shouted, “Well, you’ll have to beg me long enough to make her yours Siran. Suffer a bit of your own medicine. Ahhh, I’m annoyed-

And she turned and walked back to the herd leaving Siran on the ground more confused than anything else.

-She wasn’t in love with him. And he had just agreed to be by her side. So what was that reaction?

Sara burst out laughing as she lay on top of her husband, stark naked and panting after a round of s*x. Siran ran his hand down her back affectionately.

-Do you still remember that,” the wolf buried his hand in the tangle of hair all tangled up after the recent activity.

-Of course I remember,” she smiled and laid her head on his chest, “Your face was a poem that day when I turned you down and Hades wouldn’t stop teasing us.

-Hades tricked me. He told me you were going to commit yourself,” Siran protested.

-And well he did, or else you never would have proposed.

-Even though you hit me and rejected me,” Siran raised an eyebrow.

-It was nice to see you try to convince me to be your mate and be your current wife,” he leaned in and placed a soft k**s on Siran’s lips as he melted into Siran’s arms, “But that’s a different story.
