Sold To The Alpha
Chapter 16

Staring at the door his mate had just exited, Aaron groaned loudly as he placed his head in his hands, 'dude' he muttered to himself, 'you are playing with fire'. He had never felt so aroused in his life, she had sent him to a place of passion he had never known existed and he hadn't even touched her.

Slowly forcing himself to his feet, he stripped his clothes from his body, removing his pants that were painted with precum, releasing his bulging erection from its prison. Stepping through the bathroom door he turned on the shower, spinning the dial to as cold as it would go before stepping under the river of water. Gasping sharply from the icy water hitting his skin he grabbed the soap and started to wash himself. As he gently scrubbed his skin, images of Charity in her underwear raced through his mind like a movie reel, grinding her sweet spot into him harder and harder as he moaned beneath her. The smell of her hair as she had lightly bit his neck just above his mark.

His breathing became ragged as he started to rub himself harder, running his closed fist up and down his shaft as he relived each second of Charity's revenge, He could taste her lips on his and her arousal at watching him out of control was still lodged in his senses. With a howl he exploded, falling to his knees from the intensity of his ejaculation. Kneeling on the shower floor his wolfs voice echoed in his head, 'She has us by the balls' he said gruffly, and Aaron could only mutter agreement, he was the one who had upped the stakes, he had challenged her to see what she would do and she had not only accepted his challenge, she had made it her own. He was lost to the power of his mate and there was nothing he could do now but surrender to the bond.

Since Charity's revenge, Aaron could no longer bear to be away from her, he had swapped all his classes to match hers, cowing anyone who was currently sat next to her to give up their seat to him. It soon became common knowledge that Charity belonged to Aaron and all of the male pack members started to refuse to make eye contact with her or even look in her direction for fear of the future Alphas wrath.

'Will you give me some space!' she finally shouted at him in frustration, Aaron looked at her in surprise, a small flash of hurt also crossed his eyes. Charity's heart fluttered with guilt as she put her arms around him and kissed him, 'not like that' she said quietly, 'its just none of the males at school will even look at me let alone speak to me because they are all so scared of you! Aaron looked down at her, 'good, no-one should be looking at what's mine' he growled glaring around them just in case a passing pack member happened to be nearby. Charity sighed, 'yes, and everyone knows that' she said exasperated 'but I don't need you guarding me 24 hrs a day, I can take care of myself' she pouted, 'plus, Chloe is really starting to feel like I've abandoned her, we can't have any girly talk time' she blurted. Aaron looked at her shocked, 'of course you can' he said vehemently, 'she can be with us whenever she wants, I have no problem with her being near you' he added with a glower at a young warrior who was working out nearby. 'yes she can see me' replied Charity, 'but we can't talk about girl things with you there' seeing his confused look she prompted, 'you know, GIRL things? like if she's kissed someone, what's happening with a certain warrior she's been flirting with, or' she said slyly, 'what a certain future Alpha looks like under his shirt' she whispered arching her eyebrow at him as his cheeks coloured slightly.

'Ok Ok I get it' he agreed finally still not looking overly happy 'i'll make myself scarce tonight and you and Chloe can have girl time' he said making quote marks with his fingers in the air. Charity squealed happily 'you could go train with Justin' she suggested, 'and then afterwards I can come replace you and help you get all that sweat off your body?' she grinned as his eyes widened before he covered her lips with his and growled possessively into her mouth. 'You need to stop saying things like that' he muttered breathlessly, 'or I'm not going to be able to let you go! Charity waggled her finger at him, 'no workout, no help cleaning up after' she teased causing him to groan again longingly.

True to his word at 6 pm he left Charity in the pack house doorway and made his way outside to the training area where Justin and the rest of his warriors were waiting for him. Watching him go, Charity smiled before skipping down the steps and running toward the woods where there was a little camp area she had arranged to meet Chloe for some one on one girl time.

Making her way through the trees she suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from her left, abruptly changing course she started to run toward the sound. Bursting through the trees she was greeted by the sight of a large filthy looking man who had a young girl in his grasp, one hand covering her mouth, the other was wrapped around her small torso as he tried to drag her through the trees away from the pack house. As the young girl turned her head trying to shake off the man's grip over her mouth her eyes met Charity's who gasped in horror. Kimmy, Chloe's little sister stared at her, her eyes pleading for help. Charity screamed loudly 'let her go!' at the stranger who's grip loosened slightly in shock at the sudden interruption, Kimmy wrenched herself free from his grasp as Charity yelled at her 'Run Kimmy!' She launched herself toward the Rogue, shouldering him in the stomach pushing him off balance, he quickly regrouped himself and ran toward her pushing her roughly to the ground, thankful for her hours of training, Charity allowed herself to fall whilst bringing up her foot to catch him squarely in the stomach, using his own momentum she shoved her foot upwards causing him to somersault over her and land on his back with a painful grunt. Jumping to his feet he shifted in front of her and she was suddenly faced with a wiry brown wolf, he threw himself against her grabbing her arm in his teeth before swinging his head and throwing her against a nearby tree causing her to see stars. Fighting the dizziness, Charity felt a haze of anger wash over her, she lunged toward the wolf, landing on top of him, and unconsciously started to tear at his skin, the rogue howled in pain and tried to push her off so he could clamber to his feet. Anger was fueling her, Charity howled and continued to attack, ripping at his fur, instinctively trying to dig her teeth into his neck whilst he scratched and bit back at her. Biting down on his shoulder he let out a yelp of pain which caused him to allow access to his throat, without hesitation, Charity lunged at him and sunk her teeth as deep into his neck as she could ripping the flesh from his body. The Rogue fell lifeless to the floor, as her anger ebbed away it was replaced by horror, Charity backed up panicked, trying to put as much space between her and the lifeless wolf in front of her. She suddenly realized she was on all fours, she looked down to see white paws painted in crimson blood and dirt, fear and confusion gripped her as she looked around her wildly, unable to comprehend what was happening. In the distance, she could see pack members running toward her through the woods, shouting and pointing. The leader shifted into a large black wolf and headed straight for her, unable to tell them who she was and fear gripping her heart, she turned on her tail and fled further into the woods, running as fast as she could.

Lost within the trees she could hear the pounding of paws behind her, putting on a burst of speed she threw herself forward, jumping over bushes and logs until she could no longer hear anyone following her. Slowing within a clearing she looked around her, fear still pounding through her veins, suddenly the large black wolf launched himself from a nearby bush into her side, knocking her to the ground. Standing over her, the piercing blue eyes were filled with anger and hatred as he growled deep within his throat. Sniffing her flesh his eyes suddenly widened and he slowly lowered his head and used his nose to check every inch of her body, carefully at first then with more intensity. Charity lay completely still, terrified that if she so much a flinched that the huge wolf would tear her throat out. The black wolf whimpered before nuzzling his muzzle next to hers and carefully licking her face.

His form shimmered and suddenly the naked form of Aaron was kneeling over her. 'Charity?' he asked with awe in his eyes, as she looked at him tears leaking down her face and she nodded. Gathering her wolf form to him he held her close, running his hands through her glossy white fur that glinted silver in the dying rays of the evening sun. 'Do you know how to change back?' he whispered, letting out a slow breath as she shook her head, fear written in her eyes. 'It's ok baby' he murmured as he continued to stroke her smooth white fur, 'i'll help you, it's ok, just listen to what I say'

'You need to relax baby' he said soothingly, 'empty your mind, concentrate on my voice. Releasing a deep breath, Charity closed her eyes and lay still, allowing her muscles to relax and her mind to focus solely on Aaron's voice, 'Now just image your human form' he started, 'imagine your face, the features, the outline of your lips, your hair flowing down your back, think about your body, the curves of your waist, the roundness of your hips, feel your arms and legs, stretch out your fingers in your mind' he continued softly as she took deep breaths following his instructions, seeing herself in her minds eye.

After a few minutes she felt arms around her and opening her eyes was met with the warm loving gaze of her mate, 'hello you' he whispered huskily. Looking down she saw her body back as it should be, throwing her arms around Aaron she half laughed and half sobbed with relief before the previous moments crowded back into her mind causing her to break down into tears of anguish. 'I killed him' she whispered through her tears, 'I didn't mean too, but he had Kimmy, oh my god I killed someone' sobs wracked her body as Aaron spoke soothingly to her, 'you defended our pack' he muttered into her hair, holding her tightly to him, 'you did what you had to do to protect Kimmy from a Rogue trying to take her, he got what he deserved, in fact, he got off lightly' he growled angrily as he stroked her hair.

A crashing sound came through the trees behind them and Justin barged through the branches closely followed by 5 of their warriors. Skidding to a halt at the sight of the pair sat on the floor naked, the 6 men stared openly at Charity as Aaron growled warningly at them whilst using his body to shield Charity's from their gaze. Each man immediately turned their backs toward the couple averting their eyes whilst Aaron scooped Charity from the ground and holding her tightly too him headed toward the house at a jog, entering the front doors he headed straight for the stairs not bothering to reply to the calls from pack members asking what had happened and if Charity was ok.

Making his way to his own room he kicked the door open and carried the now silent Charity into his bathroom where he carefully placed her on the floor before turning the water on and allowing it too warm. Carefully picking her up again he sat Charity under the falling water before crouching down behind her and starting to wash the fur and blood from her face and body. Gently rubbing her skin with a flannel, each time he found a bite or scratch he carefully licked the wound to help it heal. Once sure all traces of the Rogue was gone from her body he cupped water in his hands and wet her hair before gently washing it, removing leaves, twigs, and dried blood that had knotted into her locks. Rinsing the soap from her scalp he carefully pulled his comb through her hair before turning the taps and helping her to her feet.

Wrapping her in a large warm towel he picked her up again and carried her gently to his bed, he lay her down on top of the sheets before walking around the bed and laying down next to her, pulling her close to him, placing a protective arm around her waist. Charity edged back toward him whimpering, he could feel the anguish radiating from his mate's soul and it hurt him too as he couldn't make it better for her. 'It's ok baby, I'm here' he whispered over and over again holding her closely until she finally fell asleep in his arms from exhaustion.
