Fated To Roman: The Almighty Alpha
Twenty-Six

Twenty-Six

Roman's POV

Once again, I let my rage get the better of me. My mother was the only person to truly understand me and now she was gone. Torn away from me by a one-night stand that I had already killed or thought I had anyway. A viscous feral hair standing growl ripped through my chest causing Eric to step back and whimper in submission. Kai unaffected took a step towards me his fists clenched by his sides knowing how unpredictable I could be while in this state. I hadn't felt like this in a long time. Remembering the breathing techniques my father Axel had taught me I tried and tried to calm myself, to calm the wolf that was ripping my mind to shreds wanting out to get the blood and revenge he so craved. But it was no good.

Feeling my body launch forward my fist connected with Kai's jaw sending him hurdling to the ground. Straddling him I continued pommelling his face with my fists, blood splattering my clothes as I beat him. Suddenly I was thrown backwards as his wolf shifted anger rippling from him in waves. His wolf rivalled mine in size, but in this rage filled fog he was no match. Kai's wolf snarled its teeth tearing into my forearm my skin hanging as he shook his head. Balthazar wasted no time in shifting and sinking his claws in the soft flesh under his ribs. As Kai's wolf tried to break free of Balthazar's grip my claws tore down his flank.

"STOP! ALPHAS PLEASE! THIS IS A CHAPEL OF REST NOT A BATTLEFIELD SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR OUR GODDESS. FOR YOUR MOTHER" hearing him speak but ignoring his words Balthazar turned and growled at the vicar who crossed over his heart in respect to the goddess. The goddess that was my ancestor. The same ancestor that should have protected her great granddaughter and failed.

Using my distraction to his advantage Kai's wolf tackled me sending me flying backwards into the table.

"ENOUGH" the force of the roar had mine and Kai's wolves stopping in their tracks. Turning round we came face to face with our fathers. Following their grief-stricken gazes, we realised our outburst had knocked our mothers body to the ground. My heart stopped as I watched both our fathers pick her up their eyes red with tears. Unable to take what had happen I turned and ran from the chapel and out into the forest. I kept on running until I heard the soft splashes of the hidden waterfall that sat on the edge of our territory. This had been my grandparents special place, they shared it with my mother who then shared it with me. She said it was the one place she felt relaxed and at peace when the weight of who she was would weigh heavily on her shoulders. She had hoped it would do the same for me. She had been wrong about so much growing up but not about this place.

As I neared the bushes I picked up on Cleo's scent. Flashes of what I had said and done left me feeling sick beyond belief. She had run from me for months out of fear for who I was and the reputation I held. She had finally begun to trust me, to see I wasn't all bad and was giving me a chance. And within the space of an hour, I had undone it all. I had shown her how cruel I could be. Creeping forwards we laid and watched her. Her soft sobs tore through my heart making me hate myself. I never wanted to save her. I wanted to protect and love her but like everything else I wished to accomplish in life, I failed.

"I know your there I can smell you. Go away I want to be alone." Her words hurt, but I understood them. I'd hurt her, scared and blamed her for my mother's death when the only person I had to blame was myself. Staying in wolf form I walked beside her laying on the ground and placing my head on her lap as she swished her feet in the crystal blue water that reflected the beautiful bright moon. Cleo stroked my head her heart rate evening out with my presence. "This place is beautiful I don't know how I found it but I'm glad I did. I was so ready to run away. To replace a way of removing you from me and raise this pup myself. But sitting here I realised how stupid I had been. You were grieving and instead of comforting you I ran."

'I shouldn't have done what I did. You're not to blame Cleo. I am.' She turned to look at me as my voice entered her mind.

"Please shift back my head hurts and I want to be in your actual arms." Doing so I stepped backwards shifting back to my human form. Climbing behind Cleo so her chest was against my back and my legs either side of her I wrapped my arms around her resting my head on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Cleo." Turning in my arms she pecked my lips, the taste of the salt from her tears staining her lips.

"It's ok, I...it wasn't you."

"Yes, it was and I'm man enough to admit it. I didn't want you to see that side of me and I'm ashamed that you were the one on the receiving end. I don't expect you to just forgive me because I know I wouldn't if it were the other way round. All I can do is try to do better, to be better. I want to be worthy of you Cleo, you and our pup."

"Please just shut up and kiss me."

"That I can do." Lowering my face to hers I kissed her letting myself relax under her touch. Turning Cleo round, I wrapped her legs around my waist and picking her up. Walking into the water Cleo broke the kiss to shriek as the cold water touched her. Sliding the straps of her dress down her arms I kissed each visible piece of skin. Cupping her breasts, she moaned her hands sliding up my thighs. Gripping my cock, she squeezed it pumping fast. Removing Cleo's hand from my cock I lined myself at her entrance. "Do you want me." My voice hoarse my cock pulsating with the need to be inside my mate.

"Yes." Cleo's words nothing more than a lustful moan as I slid my cock through her folds just enough to tease her.

"What is it you want me to do Cleo?"

"Fuck me." With that my restraint snapped like a brittle elastic band and I thrusted into her with everything I had. The feel of her tight walls wrapped around my cock had a ravenous hunger awakening within me. I wasn't holding anything back as I pulled out just the tip remaining inside before thrusting back into her. Floating us under the waterfall I carried her out and into the cave pushing her back against the rock wall. Pulling out I thrusted back in again her back hitting the wall with every move I made. Cleo dug her nails into my back as her orgasm rolled through her. Smacking my chest I placed her on the ground only for her to push me back. Stumbling over a rock I landed on my back with a growl. Cleo slid her dress from her before straddling me. The way she moaned as she took me fully this position hitting her deeper had my cock painfully hard. Slowly she rocked her hips with me fully submerged inside her. Each time my pubic bone hit her clit she moaned her walls tightening around me. Gripping her hips, I bounced her until I felt myself go within her only for Cleo to come undone seconds after.

When we were done, we laid there together watching as the moon began to set. What was supposed to be a special day ended up being the worst of my life.

"We should head back, with everything that happened tonight... last night people will be worried. Your fathers will be worried."

"No-one will miss me after what I did Cleo. What I did... it's unforgivable." I felt Cleo tilt her head to look at me as I continuously massage her hair.

"They will Roman. Everyone's emotions were high, they will forgive you." Looking down at her I wondered how the fuck I'd been so lucky to get someone as pure, beautiful and understanding as her. I really didn't deserve her, but I'd spend the rest of my life making myself worthy even if it killed me. "Who was she, the woman that attacked? It was clear she knew you. I could feel her hate for you, I don't know how to describe it, but I could taste it."

"Her name was... is Lucille. Before you ask no she isn't an ex. Not really. She was a whore an actual working whore, but she was also the daughter to the beta of a pack I was visiting a couple years back. When I slept with her, I didn't realise she was a worker. I thought she was just a pretty girl in a bar. I had spent so long looking for my mate... for you that I began to think I'd never replace you. That u wasn't blessed with a mate. Lucille like every other she-wolf could sense my Alpha aura only unlike the others she didn't throw herself at me. Believe it or not but that's what drew me to her. That night she asked me for payment, and I refused. As a result, she accused me of rape, she told everyone that she repeatedly told me no, but I refused and forced myself on her. I didn't Cleo I swear upon our unborn pup's life, upon my life that it wasn't true. I may be cruel and ruthless, but I know what lines not to cross and that's one that even when filled with rage we wouldn't cross. Lucille was the one responsible for my reputation becoming what it is. Long story short I took her to her father's house and forced her to admit the truth then I killed her in front of him. Then earlier this year I killed him when he attacked me leaving your old pack."

"I do believe you Roman. Not once did you force yourself on me. You were patient and considerate so don't worry. But if you killed her how the fuck is she alive?" Relief hit me like a tidal wave knowing that whatever lies Lucille spun, my mate wouldn't believe her.

"That love is the same question I've been asking myself. I ripped her throat out, I heard her heart stop. There's no way she should be alive, yet she is."
