The Wrong Alpha - A Twist Of Fate?
The Wrong Alpha – A Twist Of Fate? Chapter 99

I look across to Lilah as we pull into the car park outside the pack house and she is fast asleep. I shake her lightly and she doesn’t stir.

GUYS CAN YOU HELP UNLOAD THE CAR? LILAH IS SLEEPING, I’M GOING TO CARRY HER UP.. I link the others as their car pulls up alongside mine.

I step out of the car to replace the others walking toward my car, “thank you” I smile to them as they open the trunk and start taking out bags. I walk toward to the passenger side and open the door, Lilah is still fast asleep, I unhook the seatbelt and slip my arms under her legs pulling her close to my body, and lifting her, she doesn’t even stir other than to snuggle into my chest, her long hair tickling my arms.

I had to do my best to make sure I wasn’t flashing her butt as she still only had on the oversize T-shirt she had found in the woods earlier. I quickly walked through the pack house and straight up to my Alpha suite, I had given Jake the key so the door was already open for them to start putting the bags in, I carried her straight into the spare bedroom I have here that never gets used but that I had asked my mum to get set up for Lilah, my mum was so excited and had immediately agreed.

She had been so happy to hear I had found my mate, even though I had tried to explain it was complicated she hadn’t listened… I walked into the room to see there were some flowers in a vase on a bedside table next to the bed, fresh deep purple bedding on the double bed. I flicked the duvet back and laid her inside pulling the covers back over her to make sure she was warm.

We’d talk about decorating the room how she liked it tomorrow or in the next few days, right now she needed sleep… despite it being…I looked to my phone.. only 9pm. Bless her.. been hell of a day!

The guys were bringing bags in so I got them to put them in the corner of the bedroom for Lilah to sort out when she felt ready.

We walked to the living room leaving her to sleep.

“f**k man that was hell of a day” Dan spoke first. He ain’t f*****g wrong!

“Too right. I’m sorry guys. I did not expect that today.” I said, unsure what else to say.

“I thought it was Lilah’s Dad to start with, was shocked when I realised it was his Dad. I knew he was angry from his reaction reading those messages. They clearly love Lilah, though I think any one of us would have defended her honour that way. You don’t forcibly mark someone”Gabe said, again, he wasn’t wrong.

“I know. It’s going to take some getting used to I think for them all. I thought it was Beta Trent too, their wolves are similar at first glance. I think he acted on a quick decision. Maybe he will live to regret it. Who knows. It’s likely the council would have gone on to punish Logan similarly if he had managed to get hold of Sky and mark her…” I sigh, not wanting to think about it.

“You want us to stay?” Manuel asks, part of me wonders if he wants to to make sure Lilah is ok. He seems to be really protective over her, Jake had told me that he had mentioned to him his wolf Rey had felt a pull to Lilah and her wolf, it made me question if they could tell she was meant to be their Luna, as Jake had felt similar through his wolf Jaxx.

But I shake my head “nah I’m going to get showered and be there for when she wakes up. Time for me to step up and show her I can be a good mate if that’s what she chooses” I smile sadly, knowing I still had that fight on my hands yet.

HEY KNOX IN HER HEART SHE KNOWS YOU ARE A GOOD MATE…Manuel links me SHE’S JUST SCARED BROTHER… SHE WILL KNOW…he smiles at me.

He’s a good guy. A big softie.. he knew he’d get ribbed for being soppy that’s why he’s done it through mindlink.. but I appreciated his words. I just hope he his right… as I wasn’t so sure…

The guys give me hugs or high fives and quietly leave my place being careful to be quiet to not wake Lilah. I lock the door behind them and go check in on Lilah and she is still fast asleep. Today must have really took it out of her. I go toward my room for a shower, making sure to leave both my bedroom door open and my en-suite bathroom door open in case Lilah needs me. Though going off the fact how deeply she was asleep I think it’s unlikely….

I grab a towel and head for the shower, chucking the borrowed shorts on the floor as I step under the stream of hot water, it eases some of the tension in my body from the day. I wash myself of the dirt and possible b***d from when we were in the woods.

I swear that was the last thing I expected to happen..I hope Alpha Grayson will be ok…he must be battling with himself over what he had to do… it was because of him I had my mate laying next door…. I would always owe him that and I needed to make sure he knew that…

I rinsed my hair off and then stepped out of the shower, instantly reaching for the towel, wrapping it around my waist.

To be honest I was tired too… as early as it was I may go bed myself… a lot has changed since yesterday….crazy how much fate can change things…..

Suddenly a scream hits my ears, and I am running out of my bathroom…. Lilah! Oh no is she ok? I open the bedroom door, and she is sat upright in bed shaking, I quickly cross the room to her, a nightmare perhaps? After today that would be understandable… I sit on the edge of the bed “Lilah? You ok?” I ask.

She flings her arms around my neck. She was shaking. I hated seeing my mate like this. Whether she saw me as her mate or not, I saw her as mine and I did not like to see her struggling.

“He killed you..” she gasped her body trembling, tears coming from her eyes…. What?

“Sweet I think you had a nightmare. I’m here, with you.” I tried to reassure her.

“Logan killed you…” she sobbed into my chest… definitely a nightmare, I think the events of today had been playing on her mind as she fell asleep and that resulted in this…

“No Lilah my love, it is Logan that is gone. I am here with you.” I stand slightly to lift her from the bed to place her on my knee. I hold her close to me hoping the beat of my heart may soothe her… I am sure this is good for a mate… I am sure I have heard this… I feel her ease slightly in my arms.

“It was a dream?” She whispers lifting her head so her mouth is near my ear, I feel the warm breath as she speaks and it gives me chills. I was already feeling sparks and tingles just from our touch alone due to the mate bond but this sent it to a whole other level.

I simply nod, unsure I can speak right now. “Knox…” she whispers again s**t does she know what she is doing to me?… I nod once more.

“please don’t leave me….” She whispered but this time despite being so close it was barely audible….

Did she want me now? Does she mean as mates? Does she mean just now? Because she’s scared? I genuinely didn’t know, but right now I was happy to have her in my arms….

“I am here as long as you need me sweet” I squeeze her close to me.

“Always” I am almost certain I hear her say, but again it was so barely audible I am unsure…I’m a f*****g werewolf… my hearing is meant to be exquisite yet I didn’t hear her whisper when she’s sat right next to me!! The one thing I need to hear!! Oh f**k!!

“Do you want to sleep still?” I ask her. She shakes her head. Fair enough after a nightmare. “Why don’t you grab a shower, get yourself changed I’ll order some pizza in, we can sit and chill out together, get to know each other I guess” I smile ironically at her.

“Yeah ok” she smiles. So I leave her alone in the bedroom with directions to the bathroom, heading back to my own room to put some clothes on seeing as I was still wrapped in the towel from my own shower considering I hadn’t gotten round to putting clothes on when I heard Lilah scream. I grabbed a pair of black sports shorts and a matching t-shirt.

I could hear the water of the shower running, part of me as a mate wanted to go to her and help her wash, help her rinse her long hair… but also to be in the shower with her too would be amazing. our bodies close… would we ever be like that? I honestly didn’t know….

I quickly grabbed my phone and went onto the food app and ordered a couple of pizzas to be delivered, just basic ones for today, guessing she’d eat them, if not I’d look like an i***t and then I’d simply cook for her.

I headed down the hallway just as she was coming from the bathroom, she was wrapped in a towel, her long blond hair was wet and in long loose waves down her back and hanging over her shoulders… she looked beautiful… I wanted to k**s her.. No I wanted to do more than that….I was struggling to take my eyes off her….

“Knox, you ok?” Her voice makes me jump.

She is right in front of me now, and goddess she smells amazing, not only is her amazing scent of mint candy cane and caramel and vanilla strong in the air, but I am guessing from the smell she has used a coconut and cherry shampoo and shower gel, this girl smelt good enough to eat!

“Mmm just thinking you smell good” she giggled.

“Good to know” she winked before walking back to her room.

She winked at me!! Is she flirting now too?! She is getting harder to read…oh dammit, something else was getting harder too…. I don’t think I have ever wanted someone this bad….

I walked to the kitchen to make drinks for us ready for when our food arrived to distract myself. Grabbing a couple of glasses out of the cupboard and filling them with juice, I heard Lilah clear her throat behind me… I turn to her… she is stood, leaning against the doorway to the kitchen, watching me, her long hair still damp, loose curls over her shoulders and down her back… she was looking all cute in an oversize T-shirt I guess as a nightshirt. All I noticed was her long legs….

“What’s up? You’re acting weird with me” she says nervously.

Ok I wasn’t expecting that….

“Maybe I’m a little nervous” I shrug.

She looks confused, “why would you be nervous?”

“Maybe you make me that way” I chuckle. She walks towards me, I can feel my heart rate picking up…

“Why” she puts her finger onto my chest “would” and starts to walk her finger up “I” my chest with every word “make” smiling as she did “you” ending with her finger under my chin “nervous?” Yeah my heart was definitely racing now… there ain’t no doubt she is flirting with me…

“Because I want you that’s why mi cielo” I’ll throw that in to make her smile “but I’m scared you don’t want the same…” I answer her honestly “I’m an Alpha and not many things scare me but the thought of losing you today near broke me Lilah, the thought of you not wanting me scares me I cannot lie… but the need to make you happy pushes me to do what is right even if that means we cannot be as fated. Today confirmed one thing for me that I had been trying to dismiss, I love you beautiful more than I perhaps should when you do not want me in the same way, but my heart feels what it feels” I replace myself explaining exactly how I feel, I can’t help myself.

She stands in front of me looking up at me, there is tears in her eyes “Knox, I have been confused since the moment I found it was you that was my mate… the way Manuel described mates made me think…. The thought of hurting you hurt me…the fact you have done so much to protect and be there for me regardless… then when Uncle said we were fated for a reason it made me think what if we were….I have been feeling things for you but tried to ignore them…. The mate bond is stronger than I expected too….then that nightmare made me realise I can’t be without you…the pain of losing you then was too much…” wait.. is she saying?

“Are you saying you want to be my mate?” I ask needing clarification.

“I’m not sure I deserve you, but if you still want me…maybe” that was all I needed to hear.

I pulled her to me, lifting her chin with my finger so her face was tilted upward to face mine as I lowered my lips to hers, she wasted no time in putting her arms around my neck to pull me closer to deepen the k**s, parting her lips to allow my tongue access to her mouth, teasing my tongue with hers… f**k if she is that good with her tongue I may be in for some fun…my mind wanders….

I lift her up so she is sat on the kitchen side putting us at a similar height, I stand between her legs, I feel her hands running through my hair as she again pulls me in for another k**s.. how in 24 hours had my life changed so much…I nibbled her lower l*p and felt her m**n against me as I do, I could again smell her arousal… my mate wanted me…. As much as I wanted her….

Knock knock knock suddenly someone was banging at the door. Ah crap! The pizza….

“I ordered pizza” I look guiltily at Lilah, not wanting to spoil the moment.

She laughs. Sliding down off the kitchen side and walking to the front door to collect the pizza.

“Let’s eat.”she grins as she walks down the hallway two pizza boxes now in her hands. I’d kinda been planning to be eating something else…I think to myself as I follow her with the drinks I had previously poured.

She has placed the pizza boxes on the coffee table in front of the sofa, so I place the drinks next to them. I watch her as she curls herself up on the sofa, instinctively I go and sit next to her, wanting to be touching her I’d laughed at Dan with how he had been with Indie.. but I get it now.. I totally do… I think the guys may be handling business for a few days…I need some time with my mate….

“I need food” she giggles as I reach for her. “Energy right” she winks at me. Aww she is a tease…

I open the pizza boxes and grab a slice, passing her one too. We sit and chat while we eat, it feels easy and relaxed. I grab another slice, then watch her as she does the same, admiring the curves of her body as she leans forward to reach for the pizza..

wait… I don’t think she has underwear on… no this isn’t fair….

I throw my pizza back to the box, I take her slice of pizza from her hand and drop it back in the box. I am sat in front of her now, my heart racing….

She looks up to me , confusion on her face ” you my angel are a little tease” I breathe heavily as I speak. I see her smile at me.

“That wouldn’t be very angelic now would it” she said as she kissed me gently to the side of my cheek.

My heart rate has pretty much soared through the roof.

“Maybe more a fallen angel….or you may be once I have finished with you…” I k**s her cheek lightly back.

She smiles at me “that sounds like it could be interesting….you might have to be gentle with me though” she looks to me with wide eyes and a slight nervousness, I knew instantly what she meant.

“I will be as gentle as you need me to be, this is all at your pace sweet” I stroke her face “I want this first time to be perfect…. For us both”

I hope she got the indication there that this wasn’t just her first time…. I held the mate bond in high respect and honour and had waited for my mate before sleeping with someone…. Not like many guys I knew… I’d fooled around but I’d never let it go any further out of respect for my future mate… and now I was so glad….

“This is your first time too?” She looked puzzled by that, obviously assuming I would have been with others before her.

“I knew the one the moon goddess fated me with as my mate would be the one I was meant to be with and I chose to wait for her…. I can’t tell you” I k**s her gently on her lips “how glad I am” I k**s her again ” you are finally here”

This time she pulls me to her, going to slide my shirt over my head as she does, I quickly slip my body out of it as she pulls at my shirt. She is underneath me, holding me down, kissing me, I k**s her back, feeling her bite my lower l*p the way she does, this time it is me that is groaning, I slide my hand down the curve of her body…. I need to get her to my room…

“Sweet, come with me” I take her by the hand and lead her away from the living room. I cannot wait to get her to my room…. I open the door, the scent of her arousal is strong… I think she wants this as much as me…

She stands in front of me, her long blond hair now a little ruffled, her cheeks a little flushed, she bites her l*p a little nervously…..

“You ok?” I ask

She smiles, a slow, sexy sultry smile, before she slowly reaches for the edge of her oversize T-shirt and slowly begins to lift it….. the last time she did this was earlier…. To reveal her bruising….

But this time when she slid the shirt higher revealing her toned abs…. And higher there was no bra….just two perfect, pert breasts I could not wait to get my mouth or my hands on…..she slid the T-shirt over her head holding it to the side and slowly let it drop to the floor…. My mate was there in front of me finally….. not just in front of me… but she was naked…… and f*****g hell she was perfect….

I had sat myself on the edge of the bed, enjoying her little performance, she now walked her way over to me, I could see she was trying her hardest to be confident for me, but she was nervous.. we would work on that,…she came and climbed onto my knee, one thigh either side of mine. Her breasts now close to my chest, I brought my hands to her waist, I wanted my hands all over her now naked body, but needed to take this slow….

She brought her lips to mine again, kissing me deeply, I can feel her grinding her h**s down onto the straining bulge in my trousers as she slides her tongue in and out of my mouth. I g***n in pleasure. I don’t know how long this will last…. I tease her enjoying her reactions to my touch….

Her eyes open in pleasure and surprise but she pulls me close to continue our k****s, our tongues twisting in pleasure… as I replace myself increasing the speed with which I tease her, her breathing speeding, every now and again I feel her bite my l*p as I tease…. I’m loving that every now and again I get a pleasurable squeal from Lilah, before she deepens our k****s once more, my hand running through her hair, her breathing is faster still, I tease her faster, She suddenly g****s, her breathing pauses, suddenly her canine teeth elongate… she wants to mark me?…….

“Knox?” She gasps.

I don’t think I can talk… I simply offer her my neck, I feel her teeth break into my skin, I am tingling all over…. It is like an all over buzzing…. My vision is blurred…. b***d is seeping from my skin….she licks it clean…. Before pulling me to her again and kissing me… she marked me….Lilah just marked me…..

I lifted her gently and laid her on the bed, ripping off my shorts, her eyes wide at the sight of me….. alphas are bigger than average. I guessed she may have known that… but I’d take it slow, I’d take it at her pace…..this is my girl…..

I laid myself on the bed next to her. I reached for her face to k**s her again, she pulled me close to her, her breasts up against my bare chest, I let my hand fall to her breast, teasing the n****e with my fingers, she g*****d and pushed her chest forward to me more… yeah I think she liked that….with my other hand I slid it downward….slowly teasing again, she was pushing her h**s upwards now too, I see her watching me, her eyes not leaving mine…..She smiles slowly….

As I gently pick up the speed in which I’m teasing…..moving in the way that made her g***n before…. This time She g*****d again and bucked her h**s on the bed…so I’d found something she liked…. I kissed her again, biting her l*p as I felt her hand slide around me…she was a little hesitant, so obviously a little unsure, but she began teasing her way up and down…. giving me goosebumps as I made her g***n teasing her with my fingers… I needed her now…. I knelt up, over her, looking down on my beautiful mate. I k**s her gently, I am gentle at first… terrified of hurting her.. unsure the best way to do this…but the pleasure I feel being inside of her is intense… I see some discomfort on her face as I gently thrust… so I take it a little slower… she shakes her head does she want me to stop? I pause… “more…Knox…I want more..” she gasps.

ooohh… I push deeper… allowing her to adjust, f**k this feels amazing….. “more Knox more” she g****s. she is groaning harder and has her hands in my hair…ohhh this feels good.. we are not leaving this room these next few days…. I plan to explore every s*x position known…I quicken my thrusting seeing her breathing change again, I tease her with my fingers too, I feel her tightening around me, her body shivering in pleasure, I feel I am close….the pleasure is amazing, I go to k**s her, she turns away….

What? Did she regret this? Then I realise… she is offering me her neck… she wants me to mark her… I feel my teeth elongate and I do as she had done just moment earlier, puncturing her skin, again I feel a blinding pleasure….. a stronger link.. a stronger connection to her…. I lick the b***d from the puncture wounds. Before kissing my mate.. my beautiful mate….as we lay together in bed breathless….

“Wow”she says to me smiling.

“Wow indeed” I smile back, I flip to my side, placing my arm around her waist “do you now how perfect you are?”I tell her as I look down on her laying beside me.

She rolls her eyes at me.

“You let me mark you…” I say still in shock at the whole situation….

“I know” she smiles “that’s good though right?”

“Perfect my little fallen angel. I will need to replace lots of ways for us to be not so angelic together now. Discover them together….” I wink at her. And she giggles.

“I’m down for that. You think we can have some pizza now? Seeing as you stole it from me to do unspeakable things with me?” She grins.

I laugh “for you anything. And the reason that happened was because you had no underwear on… just for future reference” I wink.

Getting up from the bed, going to the living room, grabbing the pizza and warming it up before bringing it back to Lilah in bed. I sit beside her, the duvet pulled up over us, my arm around her, watching tv in my room, both naked in my bed, eating pizza….

If this is having a mate…. It’s pretty f*****g perfect to me…..I replace myself thinking as I k**s her on her head still not able to believe she accepted me as her mate….
