Queen Of The Alpha
Chapter 79

The first time Layan had seen Nebraska there was only one word to describe his excitement.

Awesome.

He was a wolf who was not easily amazed by the things in life. He had lived over 700 years, been through a great war, lost almost his entire family killed in front of him, watched his sister descend into madness, become the head of the Council; so at that point he hadn’t imagined anything interesting happening in his life. He had even thought about puppies given his age, but he had lost interest in them too. She-wolves were too common for someone like him who had been blessed with too much power.

But when he had seen Nebraska something inside him stirred so that in addition to needing her power he craved something else deep inside him. He just didn’t imagine that things wouldn’t work out as he had planned. Nebraska had children and a special connection to Hades, a wolf with whom, though they knew each other, they had their rough edges for various reasons.

He couldn’t deny that he had tried more than once to have her by his side. He had kissed her with the excuse of healing her eyes, he had saved her when necessary, he had longed for her blindly. But the day he had to give his blessing for his own wedding after wearing her dress, he swore that part of his soul had fragmented. It had been a real blow.

She was the first she-wolf he could claim to have fallen in love with. Or so he had thought.

Never, in his wildest fantasy would he have imagined that the daughter of the same she-wolf who had made his heart pound had given him back his own medicine by seeping into every pore of his body. And he was only minutes away from making her his life partner.

It was then that he questioned his feelings. If what he felt for Priscilla was love, then what was it that he had felt for Nebraska, because the feeling was really different.

With Nebraska he wanted to see her happy, healthy, empowered. But most of all being herself. With Priscilla it was different. He wanted her by his side, craved her sexually, bonding with her and being able to be aroused by the challenge she would present to him. It made him think about every step he took. That was so much more exciting.

So, definitely, what he felt with Nebraska was admiration for who she was. With Priscilla… she was the wolf he wanted by his side, as his mate, as his everything… as his QUEEN.

Oh and that sounded really good.

So when the same she-wolf who had first wanted him to end the bond with the one who was now the one who was always on his mind, a weight lifted off his shoulders and he smiled.

-Thank you,” he didn’t know why he was thankful, but now he felt so free that all he wanted was to bond with the one who was now his everything. The she-wolf against him. His Priscilla.

Layan pulled her up against him, letting her arms and legs wrap around his body, holding her by her buttocks. He could feel the wetness that lay there given her heat and he bit his lower l*p with his fangs keeping himself from moaning. He was painfully hard and just wanted to get into the room, throw him on the bed and drive them both to madness.

At that the door suddenly opened. Victore was back and panting. He had moved really fast.

-The conditions are set,” he said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

Nebraska nodded and looked at Layan.

-Give me a minute to take care of Hades, he’s a bit… emotional, you know how he is. Priscilla is still his puppy and he doesn’t want to let her go. I’ll take him. I leave my daughter in your hands. If all goes well we can take care of Liam,” her hand gently brushed her daughter’s back, this time she didn’t growl, just squeezed tighter to her wolf.

-You can make sure she’ll be in good hands. I won’t let her go through this alone,” he pulled her tighter to him in a way that was both dominant and protective.

Nebraska was sure her daughter would be in good hands, so she headed for the door, leaving followed by Victore.

-Hades,” she called to the wolf leaning against the window frame. His face disfigured into an annoyed grimace.

She approached him and stood on tiptoe, giving him a quick k**s on the lips. He responded, but did not remove his sour face. Nebraska couldn’t help a faint smile.

-Honey, you know this is meant to be. Destiny is set for both of us,” she kissed the reluctant male’s cheek.

Hades clicked his tongue and held her against him, burying his head in his wife’s neck.

-If she hooks up with Layan she’ll move here and I’ll hardly be able to see her,” he confessed his real concerns.

Nebraska blinked and hugged him tightly. So the whole show was because he didn’t want Priscilla to move in with Layan and leave him. A faint smile came to the queen’s lips.

-You think if my girl bonds with Layan I’m going to let her live here for good?

The tone the she-wolf used made Hades break away from her and look at her. And those Nebraska eyes with that gleam in them made him bristle. Apparently he was voicing his concerns, but his wife had no intention of giving up her daughter so easily either. And that made him glad. Apparently he was tormenting himself for no reason. Because if Nebraska said Priscilla was staying with them… Priscilla was staying with them.

And the change in her expression let the she-wolf know that her husband understood her intentions, but she had some things to clarify.

-But we have to be aware that Layan is going to bond with our daughter,” she still felt Hades growl and rubbed his chest to calm him, “We’ll arrange for him to be here and in the house in equal parts. We can’t deprive Layan of living with our puppy either, or we’ll have him visiting us every day. And I’m pretty sure that’s not what you want, is it?

Hades narrowed his eyes.

-I’ll leave this up to you, but I don’t like it, I don’t like it,” he kept protesting, and Nebraska knew this fight would go on forever.

He would have a long talk with his daughter after all this was over to see how they dealt with these alphas who were giving him a headache. For the moment he had to get him out of there so he wouldn’t get in Layan’s way. Ending the liaison now was critical. So she grabbed her husband by the arm and led him away even though he was reluctant and had to end up almost threatening to punish him. That was enough for him to give in and follow her unquestioningly.

Victore took advantage of the situation and sent away the guards who were still there, still shocked by the image Priscilla had given. They did not refuse and quickly he was the only one left in the corridor.

Then he knocked on the door and opened it to replace Layan already standing at the door. His eyes had completely lost their blue, being replaced by gold. It stood to reason that he could barely contain himself. And how could he with a she-wolf in heat in his arms. It was already unbelievable that he hadn’t gone mad in there. She respected him for that self-control.

-Alpha, go to that room you know what it is. The conditions are ready as are the chains to hold your body once Liam is inside you.

Layan nodded his head. He wasn’t sure if it would work, but the plan they had laid out was to bond with Priscilla, and once this one was complete use himself as bait for her to take control of him. Of course Liam didn’t know that there were two entities inside his body and the wolf would be in charge. If all went well and the wolf cooperated they could destroy Liam without him taking over Layan’s whole body, inside his mind.

It sounded easier than it looked. At least the part where Liam was trapped in body was the most potable. Then watching them dispose of him was another matter. At least Priscilla would be safe and that was all Layan needed.

Victore moved to the side and let his alpha leave the room and make his way to where he would bond with his she-wolf. For the moment he could do nothing more. Priscilla’s heat being her first should last no more than a day, a day when she would only want to have s*x with her wolf, though with the Princess there was no telling, her power was too strong and it was all a mystery to them.

For the moment she could only go back to his room where Kei was resting. She walked in that direction and once she was inside she breathed in deeply. The room was filled with the scent of beta and medicine. She had been nursing him painstakingly, keeping an eye on her wolf, who didn’t know when he would wake up and it tightened his chest until he was out of breath.

All this time he had only played with Kei, testing how far he could take him. Getting him drunk to the point where they had s*x like two beasts mating only for the beta to remember nothing the next day. It was painful at first, but then he got used to it. He preferred that to his rejection, because Victore was deeply in love with Kei.

If the wolf woke up he swore he wouldn’t let him get away this time.

So he approached the bed, stripping off his clothes until they were all on the floor. He stroked his wolf’s pale face before turning and climbing onto the bed on all fours. He leaned against his mate’s body letting his white fur rub against Kei’s arm and his head nestled around it protectively.

And he closed his eyes hoping that when he opened them his beta would be awake.
