We were back at the pack house. I had asked Mercer to take care of the mess I had made at that restaurant. Nothing was going to be traced back to me. I couldn't help but watch her sleeping form. The gentle rise and fall of her body was peaceful. I sighed heavily. The look in her eyes when I had approached after her jumpsuit had ripped was etched into my memories forever. The sulphurous rage had finally ceased in that moment. I regrated that things had turned out that way.
But I couldn't be soft on her I had to let her know that I am the Alpha and that she will obey me without questioning my authority.
It was all shit.
This wasn't how I wanted us to reunite... What if I have fucked it all up royally and there is no saving us. If she rejects me word will spread. The valiant and badass Alpha who marked a human was rejected! I would be a joke!
Who would want a leader who cannot control a mere human? But she isn't merely a human. She is vibrant and regal in her beauty. A natural born Luna, I had sensed it in her which was what had led me to mark her.
Some force attracted me to her... the oracle said that the moon goddess chose her for me. I don't know why she would choose a weak human to be my Luna. As contradictory as that is. She has the mental strength to lead but that's all she has.
Athena should have been my mate. She strikes fear into hearts with just one look, her body is graceful and soft but also strong and tough. She is able to keep up when us men train when we train together.
Her warriors that she trains can hold their own against mine. Her beauty... is something you find in history books and yet here I am, with a fragile insignificant human girl who just had her beauty as her saving grace. I got up as quietly as I could. I needed air.
I felt a slight twinge of guilt with regards to my thoughts about Athena while i sat beside Alexandrite.
Mercer was waiting for me downstairs as I descended the stairs.
He looked aloof but I could tell he was annoyed that I had hurt her again. I rolled my eyes, he didn't have any romantic feelings for her but he was protective of her. Him and Theo, as my royal guard I expected it but I was weary of them falling for my mate.
"Summon Athena", I commanded.
"Jax -", Mercer began in warning.
I had been slightly slouching. The weight of my situation with Alexandrite and what it meant for the pack was weighing down on me heavily. But I was Alpha and always had to be Alpha in front of my pack members. I straightened and looked down at him. The Alpha within me had heard the challenge to my command and would not allow it. I would not be questioned even by my closest friend and my Beta.
"It is not a discussion it's a simple command. Direct her to my study room. I want her there in 10 minutes", I snarled.
An emotion I could not decipher flashed in his eyes but before I could read what it was, his eyes were blank. They held no emotion. I couldn't smell anything from him ... just allegiance.
"Yes Alpha". He bowed deeply and left.
I wish he hadn't made me command him. If he just fucking did as I told him without questioning me everything would be fine. I got into the study and began my paperwork. I had to read reports from the pack as well as ones from other packs. It was all tedious and monotonous.
In this moment I actually yearned the mandatory routine visits around the pack, but because we are civilised and evolved wolves who interact with the outside world ,as that prick Alpha Zlatan from the virtue pack says, I had to do paperwork.
Its bullshit if you ask me but as an Alpha I have to comply with all duties that are required of me.
About 10 minutes after I had entered the study, I smelled her before she appeared. Athena. Her scent was exotic and powerful. It was a mixture of roses and mint. She seemed to be elated that I had called for her.
Then came her confident knock on the door. "Come in," I commanded. She entered and closed the door behind her. Not before I saw an impassive expression on Mercer's face. He didn't approve but I had no time to deal with his disapproval. After the shit show from the previous night, I needed release to be able to function. He didn't know the shit I had been going through.
"Alpha", she said in greeting. Her green eyes were sparkling like emeralds. She was wearing leather attire which was tight against her body. You could see every curve of her delicious body and she was al mine.
She wasn't wearing a bra so her nipples were strained against the jacket she wore. I felt myself go semi hard. She gave me a knowing smile and strutted slowly towards the seat in front of my desk and sat with her legs crossed.
"How is the Luna, whom we are yet to meet?", her question was supposed to come off as light and aloof but I heard the edge in her voice and the slight aroma of jealousy.
"She is well. She just had a rough night."
She nodded and then grabbed one of the stacks of paper and began going through them with me. We worked in silence for about four hours. One of the reasons I liked Athena so much was that she understood when to work and when to play.
She then got up and rounded the table to where I was sitting and then got down on her knees and I knew what was coming.
"Alpha ...", she breathed while parting my legs and moving to unzip the zipper of my black cargo pants. Perhaps this shitty day could be salvaged, I thought to myself as she placed her mouth on my dick.
Her mouth was hot and hungry. It had been a while since we had oral sex. I just hoped she wouldn't try and get me to fuck her with Alexandrite in a different room in the house. I didn't have the strength to tell her no gently and Athena knew that Alexandrite was in my bedroom.
I tilted my head back and sighed in contentment as her mouth worked, while one had massaged my sack and the other her crotch.
