The Forbidden Mate
Chapter Two – Alone Together

Alex

It is eight o’clock and I have finally finished work for the day.

I will follow my usual routine. Make a great show of picking up some food from the pack kitchen for dinner and then heading to my room. I will then slip out of the packhouse, careful to make sure I am not seen and make my way to Katy’s house.

The only thing keeping me going through the day is thinking of her. Reliving the time, we spend together. The taste of her as I kiss every part of her body, the pleasure we both feel when I am deep inside her, the look on her face when I bring her to orgasm. It makes me hard every time I think about it.

Then there are the things that surprise me about her. The mate bond makes me crave her, want her close to me all the time, but as I spend time getting to know her I discover that there is so much more to love. Her intelligence, the way she cares for her friends, family and the rest of the pack even when I know many of them would never think of her.

I confess to her the troubles I am having getting the support that the victims of the attack need. She has provided me with invaluable advice on how best to engage with the Omegas. Making me see them as fellow wolves and not just servants

She has calmed me down when I have been angry with my father and Brian and helped me to devise successful strategies to force them to provide the financial support the victims need.

She knows that I think that this is not just an ordinary rogue attack, but that I am no closer to replaceing out the reason why.

But then there are the things that I can’t tell her. The real reason I left the pack for two years. My mission to bring the pack back to its true role as allies and defenders of the Royal pack. That I am actively seeking avenge the deaths of the Royal family.

The closer we get the more conflicted I become that I cannot tell her the most important details of my life even though I know that this knowledge is too dangerous to share. As an Omega she would not be able to protect herself if our enemies realised her importance to me

To keep her safe, I must keep secrets from her.”

Katy

It is getting late, and I know that Alex will be here soon.

I have put Emma to bed, read her a bedtime story and held her until she fell asleep.

I can’t wait to see him; the day feels so long when I am apart from him. I crave his touch. When I am with him, he makes me forget my sadness and grief and makes me feel whole.

It surprises me how quickly I have moved from hating him as the arrogant alpha whose actions hurt me, to him being the person I love the most in the world and cannot bear to be away from.

He saved my life. Protected Emma and me from the Rogues who would have killed us. He has shown me a side of him that I didn’t think existed, that he truly cares about me but also about the rest of the pack even the Omegas.

“Katy” I hear him call softly, and I look around to see him standing at the door.

I run to him my arms outstretched to hug him, longing to be in his arms. Our lips slam together with desperate need. He then moves to trail soft kisses down my face and neck, until he reaches the point where we will eventually mark me and starts to kiss, suck and lightly bite the area, not breaking the skin but making waves of electricity course through my body.

We move slowly up the stairs to my bedroom, where we start to undress each other. Taking our time as we kiss and caress each other’s bodies. In these last few weeks, I have got to know and love every inch of him.

I pull him down onto the bed, wrapping my legs around him as I press my body tightly to his. Heat rushes to my core as I rub up and down his length.

He groans as he lifts himself to enter me, filling me. I feel the pressure build as he starts to move, and my hips rise to meet his, desperate for him to be deeper inside me. I feel my orgasm building, until my climax hits, and moments later he convulses as he comes too. Finally satiated, we lie contentedly in each other’s arms.

Alex begin to tell me about his day.

“I have managed to get Brian to agree to the final instalment of money to compensate the victims” he tells me.

“That is great news” I say warmly, “now they can start to try and get on with their lives. Have you made progress in replaceing the attackers?”

“Euan manged to track them to a town 50 miles from here and then their scent disappeared”

“Does that mean that we have lost our last chance to replace them? I ask him.

“No” he says determinedly “we will continue to hunt them down. Euan has informants among the rogues and is using these contacts to gather intelligence. We won’t give up. No one attacks our pack and gets away with it.”

“How is Emma?” he asks.

I sigh “the same. I can’t seem to reach her, and I don’t know what to do next.”

“It will take time, she has been through a lot, but she will get there. You might not feel like you are helping but you are. You just need to be there for her” he says reassuringly.
