Chapter Eight

Alpha Ajax

The Moon goddess gave me a fated mate the one thing I didn’t want. The one thing that made me weak, someone I genuinely would care about. This one wasn’t timid, she wasn’t crazy like Oscar’s wife, Reign or needy like the others. She was a fighter, she was brave. Life dealt her a bad hand but she took it anyway.

“I heard about your latest conquest. Nice legs on her,” Oscar said casually.

We were on our way to another meeting Dad organized.

My wolf lifted his head and growled at growled at Oscar. Because we’re brothers he can feel my wolf’s irritation in response he laughed. This girl made me a slave to the mate bond. To add to that, Delanie’s a precious human.

A human Luna would cause controversy.

“You’ve never been good at sharing, Ajax,” My brother said, patronizing me.

“Enough. She’s my personal slave, understood?”

“Of course, you saved her. But as brothers, we should learn to share.”

He shot me a mischievous look. I groaned but I smirked when I remembered he was married and I wasn’t.

“If I were you I’d focus on keeping Reign in your bed,” I said and marched on.

Oscar stopped. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

We reached the closed double doors leading to the sacred army room. I was going to command this room someday my brother was the only one in my way.

“Dude, what do you mean?”

I groaned. “Just keep her in your bed and out of anyone else’s.”

The disgusting Commander Cyrus sat a chair away from my Father, Alpha Odin. The empty chair to Dad’s right belonged to Alpha General Maximus. Another thorn in my side is he wasn’t keen on my brother becoming Alpha either.

Ross was there along with my brother’s betas.

“Good. You’re all here,” Odin began. “In the last meeting we decided on Oscar’s brilliant idea to join forces with our enemies. Now we must throw a celebration to welcome them!”

I curled my hand into a fist while my brother and the others nodded.

The last meeting Oscar suggested we joined forces with the Black Vapour Pack and Diamond pack our two greatest enemies. Black vapour pack didn’t invite us to the Prince’s coronation party of course that means they don’t consider us friends.

“What the fuck is wrong with you all? Don’t you seen you’re begging them to attack us?” I snapped.

The room fell silent.

Odin puffed out his large stomach. “Maybe you should stop thinking with your muscles, Ajax and start thinking with your head, like your brother,” Odin snapped.

I wasn’t backing down. “Maybe he should think with something other than his dick. If you invite those packs into our home you’ll be setting their trap for them and damn it I’m not cleaning up your shit, again!”

I remembered Solar Pack three years ago and shut my eyes. I had no choice but to destroy a pack to clean up my Father’s mess now he was bringing the trouble to our doorstep. Was he okay in the head?

Oscar smirked at me. “You’re paranoid brother. We’ll invite them, cook up the finest food, and give them the finest girls. Ajax maybe you can part with your girl for one night.”

My wolf flashed in my eyes, Oscar smirked. If he wants to lose his head he’s doing a good job.

Black Vapour Pack tried to take our land once and we were forced to do incredible damage. I did most of that damage, to be honest, what made them think that pack wouldn’t try to attack as again?

“Wonderful Oscar!” Odin clapped.

I shook my head. I pushed my chair back. Ross muttered something inaudible beside me.

“This is insane.”

“Enough! I’m still the Alpha of this pack.”

“Fine, do what you like trust me I’m not cleaning it up.”

“Ajax worries too much,” My Father went on. “Maximus! Make the preparation and Ajax gather your hunting party and find the best game. We’re having a feast!”

Ross smirked. He loved hunting. The hunting party got the most admiration and the finest women. While Odin went on about the plans for the party to welcome our enemies I slipped out of the room.

The old man was fucked in the head. No matter what I did he went along with Oscar but when shit got hard I was the one he went to clean shit up. Oscar was a spoiled brat who barely knew how to fight and if that’s the Alpha a pack of warriors would inherit then the pack was fucked.

I stormed into my room. Delanie sat up as the door slammed against the wall. She rubbed her eyes and scanned the door. Shit, I didn’t mean to wake her. I called for her before I went into the meeting. I knew she’d be anxious about the Black Vapour Pack visiting. She was dressed in a tight skirt and a white shirt with straps. Her eyes focused on me and she had me in a trance. Those eyes could make me do anything.

Every day that went by without me claiming her was torture. Knowing she was a virgin made things even sweeter I wanted to take my time at the same time our bond was taking its toll on her too.

“Sorry, I was waiting for you,” she murmured.

I closed the door. I settled on the bed beside her and rubbed her thigh. She shivered and I knew she felt the heat of our bond.

“I’m sorry for waking you,” I chuckled. “Want to go back to bed?”

She shook her head. “I heard the Black Vapour Pack’s coming. Why are they coming?”

“It has nothing to do with you, sweetheart.”

“But Blaise—”

I growled. “I don’t want to hear his name.”

I hated that she had another mate, one who didn’t treasure her just because she’s a slave. I can’t get her out of my head and I haven’t cemented our bond yet. I hid her from everyone else because I knew the complications of when the pack found out I had a mate.

“What do you want me to call him them?” She frowned.

“The prick’s fine with me.”

She rolled her golden fleck eyes. “If he finds out I’m here he’ll have me captured… I’m just scared.”

I held her jaw gently plus ran my thumb on her pink bottom lip. I’d never felt this way about any woman. I’d met hundreds of Alpha’s daughters, beautiful warriors but none of them captivated me like this woman.

“If they touch you they die.”

“Why? Why do you tell me these things?”

I swallowed the lump in my throat. I wanted to tell her that she belonged with me. I wanted her to know fate gave her a second chance but I couldn’t. Having a mate was new for me and I never wanted one.

“You’re staying the night. I want you in my arms.”

“I didn’t bring any clothes.”

I grinned. “I’ll give you a shirt if you give me another strip tease.”

Heat scattered across her nose and she looked away. I brought back her attention to me and closed the space between us. I closed my lips on hers.

“You don’t have to be shy with me. You’re gorgeous.”

She stood and slowly unbutton her skirt. She kept her golden fleck eyes on me as she moved her fingers over the buttons. The fabric fell to the ground and she stepped out of it. I couldn’t keep my hands down. I stood and helped her remove the top.

“You next,” she said softly.

I nodded. “Anything you want.”

With my eyes glued on her I pulled off my leather jacket. She grabbed my belt and undid it. I watched her work and grew hard. My shirt came off next and then my pans came off. We stood staring at each other’s nude bodies.

She climbed on the bed first giving me a gracious view of her round behind. I stared at the roof. *Take me now I won’t survive tonight next to her anyway.
