Queen Of The Alpha
Chapter 24

Layan hated not being in control and especially not understanding what was going on. Like now. He’d woken up to replace not only his sister standing in the doorway looking incredulous, but Priscilla looking like she’d just been through a fiery hot episode.

-Until…finally…you let go of me,” she gasped against the pillow after rolling over onto her stomach, looking satisfied? The smell she was giving off was extremely sweet especially from the wetness between her thighs.

Layan frowned and turned to his sister sitting cross-legged on the bed.

-Layan said, “Layan, wait for me in the dining room. I have other business to attend to first.

-Yes, I noticed,” there was disappointment in his voice.

Normally she was the one who woke her brother up every day and they always went to breakfast together. He was the only person she had left and seeing him now with another company in that compromising situation made her feel really uncomfortable. Was that the only thing she had left going to be taken away from her. Her partner had died and that was a huge hole inside her. She would not allow anyone to take away what was left of her family.

She left the room with a slam of the door.

-Priscilla had regulated her breathing even though her body was shivering slightly and not from cold. A cold smile crossed her face, “I wonder why.

-What did you do to me,” he turned to her in annoyance this time. He could still feel his fingertips wet and the delicious smell of her insides coming from them.

Priscilla turned sideways to face him. Her cheeks were extremely red and her hair was tousled out of its braid, and the image somehow shook the alpha. She looked so good and right between her sheets that he had to quickly push the idea out of his mind.

-That question would have to be me, alpha,” she didn’t smile this time, but rather looked tired, “You spent over an hour touching me wherever you wanted and you didn’t stop even after I called you to stop.

Layan brushed her long hair back. He didn’t want to know the details of what he had done to her.

-I’m not going to apologise. Those are the consequences of your actions. You’re old enough to know what that means.

She blinked slowly as if she were dozing.

-You know, I still wonder what I see in you,” Layan found himself unexpectedly curious, “You’re not as beautiful as my father, nor are you as kind.

-It’s good to know that so that you’ll stop torturing me whenever you feel like it,” being compared to Hades was a direct hit to his pride, “And sorry, I’m not as perfect as your father.

She smiled as if she was amused.

-My father is perfect. You don’t have to feel bad.

-What a compliment,” he said skeptically.

She got up from the bed, taking the sheet to wrap it around her h**s, she didn’t feel comfortable being naked in front of the she-wolf she had probably been unconsciously touching for an hour. Apparently her body was not in tune with her head and the idea of keeping herself in line. He had let his guard down, falling asleep to be carried away by her scent. Ten years of abstinence from not having the one who had made him a bond even if it was incomplete was taking its toll.

But as he turned and laid Priscilla on his bed he found she had her clothes on wrong thanks to him. The nightgown at the narrow waist exposed her wide h**s. Instead her scent and the visible wetness between her white thighs gave him to understand that she had given him more than one o****m between her arms.

He wanted to strike for it. He sought to pull away and keep his distance and as soon as he let his guard down it all went down the drain. He cursed his animal instincts.

Priscilla on the other hand didn’t even pretend to be upset. She grabbed Layan’s pillow and hugged her, burying her head in it. Nudity was normal for wolves and she didn’t feel self-conscious in front of the alpha. She rather liked him looking at her, after all her adult body was gifted enough to please him.

Layan pulled off the sheet and threw it over her to cover her. He was the one who was uncomfortable. Every fiber of his body was commanding him to get back on the bed and finish the bond and join her. He growled.

-Perhaps I couldn’t make more effort to get my hands off you?

-I didn’t really make much of an effort,” she rubbed her eyes almost shut, “Did I say I resented your touching me. You only do it when you hurt me. Don’t put words on my lips.

-You can’t be upset, Priscilla,” she wanted to bite her tongue after she said that. To bring up the subject of her not being able to feel anything was something even he considered sensitive.

She lifted her head from the pillow with a yawn.

-Don’t overdo it, Layan. And you like calling me a puppy enough not to be one now when it suits you. I’m going to tell you this so you’ll keep it in mind. For you I may have been born a few years ago but it’s not just my body that grew up. It is also my mind. I don’t have anything that defines me as a puppy, so don’t treat me like one,” he dropped his head again, burying it in the pillow and closing his eyes, “I’m going to sleep a little longer.

Layan took a deep breath, trying to calm down. She was definitely wearing on his patience. He had never lost control so easily but with her it was like for the fun of it. He made his way to his personal bathroom and closed the door. This time he locked it just in case. It was bad enough having the scent of the she-wolf all over his body and by the way he was responding to it.

Priscilla woke up after several hours. It seemed like she hadn’t slept in a long time. Outside the sun was high in the sky so she thought it must be noon. She got out of bed and stretched. Now that Layan was gone and the room was alone only traces of his scent remained.

He put his hands to his head. The voices were haunting now that he was in a new place but among them all there was one he sought but couldn’t replace. Yes, that person’s. She was sure she was in that pack. And he was really strong because he had knocked her unconscious even with the barriers she had created.

She got up, noticing discomfort in her clothes and between her thighs. She needed an urgent bath and a change of clothes. Another time she could look for Layan but she had more important matters than just being there chasing after him. That was, even if it didn’t seem like it, her number two priority.

Yes, number two. He wanted this alpha as his own, but the safety of his family and pack came first and he didn’t want the episodes of the past to repeat themselves.

She emerged from Layan’s room to replace three wolves conversing a few feet away and as soon as they saw her emerge from precisely there, hair disheveled, clothes covering what was necessary, and with a potent scent of another male about her, they tensed and more so when she approached. There was nothing else she could do, the room they had intended for her, and which she had no intention of using much, was in that direction four doors down.

-Princess,” one of them, with short blonde hair and a handsome but stern face, bowed slightly in respect.

-You are Kei – she stopped in front of him, and bowed her head, noticing that he would have slightly narrowed his eyes – My wolf’s beta, a pleasure – she smiled her usual fake smile, so as not to appear unpleasant.

It was then that she remembered that Layan had told her about reading other people’s minds and she shut down to just keep the murmur in the back of her mind.

Kei on the other hand said nothing and sat up. She didn’t usually talk much and this she-wolf, besides having a different scent of her own, was imbued with Layan’s dominant scent, whether consciously or unconsciously. She didn’t really understand her alpha, but she was having a hard time, so she was.

-I’m going out for a bit,” she stated passing by him after returning the salute to the other two guards next to the beta.

-You can’t do that without the alpha’s permission,” she said.

Priscilla stopped in her tracks and looked over her shoulder.

-Am I a prisoner?

Kei shuddered slightly at the glint in those silver eyes, they were the same as the alpha of the Silver pack and yet not. These were colder and emptier.

-No-

-That’s all right,” she smiled again, “I’ll just be in the vicinity.

-Ask the alpha’s permission first.

-He’s not my owner and quite who walks freely in my father’s morning when he visits her,” she raised her shoulders, “This will be his pack but he can’t put me on a leash and stop me from walking. I’m a wolf, I need fresh air – and to replace that person by any means necessary.

And he resumed his march. She could tell that this wolf was intransigent and she wasn’t the type to let herself be bent so easily. If Layan didn’t want her to go out, he should come and tell her himself, although it wasn’t guaranteed that she would listen to him.

This Layan is more daring and s****l than Hades. What is it about these wolves? Though the worst of them is called Saisen…father of Hades. Only Celesia controls him. Just for fun facts.
