Sold To The Alpha
Chapter 10

Once back in his room, Aaron threw himself down on his bed, anger grappling at him at the way his father had played him when his emotions were spiked and he'd walked right into it.

'f**k' he muttered slamming his fist into his pillow, 'why don't you just wave a big f*****g banner over your head saying she's your mate, way to keep it quiet' he growled at himself whilst his wolf prowled around his mind growling over the information he had overheard about Charity's past.

'They need to suffer' growled his wolf, his agitation rubbing off on Aaron, making his worked up state worse, 'I know' he replied, 'but father says no, to let it lie', he rubbed his eyes with his fingers, it was unlike his father to back down from injustice so he had to believe he had his reasons for letting those scumbag humans treat Charity the way they did.

Her name rolling through his mind made him groan, he could remember her smell like she was standing next to him right now. He needed to see her, be near her, why t*****e himself like this? 'Just go' he yelled at himself within his mind, his wolf mentally nudged him in agreement. 'We need to check on her, it's our duty to protect her' he reminded Aaron. That was all the encouragement he needed and he swung his legs off the bed and headed for the door. Pausing with his hand on the doorknob he checked the mirror and saw his disheveled T-shirt and mussed hair. Quickly ripping the top off his body, he tentatively raised his arm and sniffed. His wolf howled in his mind, 'you cannot go to her like this' he growled sternly. Aaron nodded agreement, stripped his tight blue denim jeans from his muscular thighs, and stepped toward the bathroom quickly.

Once in the shower, he stood under the water, allowing its cool rivers to roll down his muscled torso before disappearing in the dark black hair of his groin. The image of Charity flitted into his mind, of her stood by the car on the first day, her white dress moving slightly in the breeze, hugging her curves in ways that had made him want to run down the stairs and rip her clothes from her body and claim her as his. The real essence of her beauty though came from the fact she obviously had no idea just how captivating she was, the innocence etched on her face, and aura of loss and shyness had made him want to wrap her in his arms and never let her go, so she would always feel safe. He groaned outwardly whilst his wolf antagonized him with 'I told you so' before retreating back into his mind.

Looking down he realized that his wandering mind had caused his body to react, the mere thought of her was enough to pique his arousal, 'man, I need to get this girl out of my head' he exclaimed turning off the taps and grabbing a towel and beginning to rub himself dry vigorously, 'or you could just accept what fate has handed you' came the distant voice of his wolf, causing him to scowl and rub his muscled physique so hard it started to turn red.

Charity was startled by a knock on the door, Chloe had left to do some laundry after thoroughly checking that she would be fine on her own, 'I don't like leaving you after all those tears' she fretted, 'maybe you should come with me.. or I should stay here..or I should get someone to sit with you' she said agitated. Charity held up her hands, 'I'm fine' she said smiling, 'seriously, go! I could do with a nap anyway' she said with a smile whilst pushing her friend gently out the door. Opening the door, her breath caught in her throat, in front of her stood Aaron, dressed in a light blue tight-fitting shirt rolled up to the elbows with the top two buttons undone showing just the hint of his muscular chest, along with tight-fitting black jeans which did nothing to hide his well-toned physique.

Aaron stared at her intently before clearing his throat, 'umm I came to tell you that you are to start college tomorrow, I will drive you there, be outside the front at 8 am sharp' he went to turn abruptly away when Charity stopped him by placing her hand on his arm. He inwardly groaned at the contact and from the elevation of her breathing was sure that she was similarly affected.

He moved his arm forcing her to lean against the door frame, and stepped forward pinning her with his body, she gasped and he felt her n*****s harden underneath the pink vest top she was wearing. Smelling her arousal he leaned in closer to her, breathing in her scent. She stiffened under the closeness of him and a barely audible whimper left her lips, she could feel his hardness digging into her thigh as he pressed closer to her his breath gentle on her neck. His wolf was howling in his mind, urging him to take her, he closed his eyes tight for a moment and fought to make himself let her go. 'Stop your temptations, they won't work on me' he growled. Charity gazed into his eyes, seeing the lust within them, 'i'm not trying to tempt you' she whispered though her body was aching to touch him, feel his lips on hers. 'So why did you grab me?' he muttered, avoiding her gaze but still not moving away from her. 'I don't have any supplies for school' she whispered, 'and I don't have any money to buy some'. She stared at the floor and shuffled her feet, obviously embarrassed by the confession. Aaron struggled internally before roughly letting her go. 'Meet me downstairs in 20 minutes', he huffed, 'I'll take you to get some school stuff' then he turned on his heel and marched from the room leaving her trembling from head to foot, her emotions in turmoil.

Quietly she moved from the doorway and shut the door with a click, she sat down on the edge of the bed shaking, why did he have such a profound affect on her, she had been pushing him from her mind for weeks, laughing with Chloe about Gemma's obvious attempts to get his attention, believed she was indifferent to him, but 5 minutes in his presence had proven all her beliefs to be lies. He made her knees tremble and her heart race and if she was really honest with herself, she loved it, love being near him, his smell, his strength. She wanted to wrap her legs around his waist and hear him moan as she gently dragged her nails down his bareback, wanted him to run his tongue over every inch of her body whilst she called his name.

Shaking her head she pulled herself back from her thoughts, feeling the wetness that had developed in her underwear she groaned and got up to change, 'pack it in Charity' she admonished herself, 'he doesn't want you, he's only around you because his dad is making him do it', angry at herself for letting her imagination taunt her, she grabbed her bag, scribbled a quick note to Chloe to say where she had gone and rushed out the door and down the stairs to the foyer.
