Alpha Rhys POV
I had to excuse myself from that packhouse, needing to go find my little mate.
Would she even want to see me? Would she forgive me for something that wasn't even my fault? Shit would she help me with what I need? Especially after this Madison bullshit?
I mean if I found out that she mated, marked and claimed another in front of her whole pack, I would be beyond the point of return. Somebody's head would be a platter.
Alpha Bryson and Beta Ethan showed Mateo, Jett, Alpha Kano and I where their training facility is. My little mate said she would be here if anyone needed her.
As soon as we walked up to the building, her intoxicating scent hit me. That cinnamon aroma only she could wear so seductively.
Walking in, I seen my little mate sparring with Preston. She was now in some spandex shorts and matching sports bra.
Shit.. her body is amazing!
I watched as she dodged all of Preston's moves, with such perfect form. Throwing her own punches, kicks, combos.. her skill was impressive. No damn that.. Her skills were amazing.
"She's incredible." Mateo said, I looked over my shoulder and smiled at him before looking back at my little mate.
"Yeah she is, isn't she?"
"My sister is one of the best fighters in the pack, she's even kicked my ass and Bryson's ass a few times." Her brother, Beta Ethan explained. Watching her, I could definitely see how.
She was still dodging Preston's attack when she sent him flying from a perfectly executed roundhouse kick. His body soared through the air before crashing into the wall. He got to his feet quickly, rushing towards Kaori again. She planted her feet then stepped sideways and punched him right in the middle of his chest. He went flying again, this time across the floor.
Preston got up just as fast as he flew. The man didn't give up.
"Preston is Kaori's second in command. They scored the highest in the Academy." Ethan explained again, that caught my attention.
"Wow.. he's really good then." Jett smiled then looked back at his second chance mate.
"Second in command?" I asked, Ethan and Bryson nods.
"Kaori is the commander of our pack guard. Preston is her second in command in the guard."
"What?" Alpha Kano, Mateo, Jett and I all exclaimed.
So my little mate is the one I've heard about? She's the fierce shewolf that led the Red Stone warriors? The rumors about her were pretty overwhelming. I just thought it was ridiculous that Red Stone had a shewolf leading their warriors. I didn't realize that shewolf would be my mate, let alone be as fierce as she was. I couldn't have been more wrong about her.
She's strong. She's fast. She doesn't let up. I can feel her anger but see her grace in her fight style. I don't even think she's breaking a sweat.
"I'm going to join them." Ethan says tossing his shirt off. Bryson caught it, then I seen him run towards my little mate and Preston.
"2 male wolves attacking one shewolf? That doesn't seem quite fair." Alpha Kano said narrowing his eyes at the scene before us, all that did was earn a laugh from Bryson though.
I looked back at the sparring in front of me and watched my little mate dodge her brother and Preston's attacks with precision. She grabbed Ethan's arm using his body weight to her advantage and bouncing of him to kick Preston hard in the jaw. Then she did a wicked hand combo on Ethan, pinning him against the wall with his face turned from hers and his arms locked within hers. I seen Preston rushing towards them and I wanted to jump in, but Bryson grabbed my shoulder.
"She's fine. Watch." He said and I did.
My little mate once again surprised the hell out of me. She side stepped and unlocking Ethan's arms from hers, swinging the force of his body, knocking him into Preston. Both men went down… hard.
They all laughed though. Kaori helping them to their feet, as they all caught their breath. Her laugh was the best thing I've heard in a while. Matching the same feelings I get when I hear Mateo or Jett laugh, maybe even a little more intense.
As I watched them walk back towards us, Kaori noticed me and rolled her eyes. That simple little act of defiance should have irritated me, but it didn't. She's feisty and I love that.
"What the hell are you doing here Alpha Rhys?" She asked, that word Alpha stung coming from her.
"I need to speak to you about something.. well actually we all need to speak to you."
She raised her eyebrow the same little defiant way she did back in their packhouse. I began to explain what I wanted her to do.
Coming to my pack with me, challenging Madison for the Luna position. There was no doubt she could kick Madison's ass.
Then we can ask Madison to accept my rejection. If she doesn't, we just make her life a living hell.
"Have you lost your mind? I don't care about this mate bond nor do I want to be your Luna." Yup! I expected nothing less from my little one.
"Well at the moment you have no choice in our bond and you're my packs rightful Luna. I won't be happy with Madison leading."
"Not my problem." She said rolling her eyes then turned to walk away. I grabbed her arm, at that moment I felt the sparks from our bond rush through my hand and up my arm. She snatched her arm out of my grip.
"Do not touch me again." She growled then turned to walk away again.
"Fine, you leave me no choice then. I'll just take you with me and we can both be miserable under Madison's rule." Kaori whipped her head back around and glared at me then.
"I'm not going anywhere with you Fuzzy!"
"Fuzzy?"
"Would you prefer Jackass?" I flinched at her choice of words. Yeah she's a disrespectful little something.
"I would advice against you calling me a jackass Kaori." I couldn't help the snarl that left my lips.
"Fuzzy it is." She rolled her eyes again. Oooo.. what I want to do to her! I could make those eyes roll a lot better!
I'm definitely going to enjoy fucking that attitude right out of her. Watching her submit to me in a way only I can bring her to.
"I'm afraid you have no choice on not going with Alpha Rhys, beautiful." Alpha Kano said and I pulled a face again. I can see this man is not going to give up harassing my little mate.
If he wasn't the Alpha of Alphas..!
"Excuse me Alpha Kano? I don't have to go with him."
"Actually you do. Alpha Rhys is within the law to take his mate and rightful Luna back to his pack."
Kaori's mouth fell open then as she narrowed her eyes at me. I just smiled back at her. Take that little mate.
"I can promise you, when we get back to your pack I won't be happy. I won't love you and I won't ever be yours truly."
Damn. That hurt. More than it should have.
"I'll tell you what.. if you can beat me in a one on one spar, you don't have to come with me."
"What?" She turned her nose up at me, but all I did was nod.
"You heard me crazy.. Beat me one on one, and I'll leave you here, but if I win, you come with me, I'll even let you bring all of that attitude."
"You're on Fuzzy!" She growled again, tossing her gym back down and walking back to the middle of their sparring arena.
I smiled watching her get so worked up. I had her right where I wanted her and she knew it.
Handing my shirt to Mateo, I walked towards my little crazy. I planned on wasting no time, taking her down so easily.
Or that was my plan anyways. My crazy was alot stronger and faster than she looked sparring with Preston. She was so damn small, she just kept evading my grasp. Everytime I did get a hand on her, she would drop her weight and use mine against me. Her little ass had me out there breaking a sweat.
I could hear my mates, Alpha Kano, Beta Ethan and Alpha Bryson laughing, not trying to hide their amusement with this at all.
What I succeeded in strength, she succeeded in speed. Her little punches and kicks packed some power behind them, not enough to drop me but I could feel her rage. She really didn't want to come with me, but no matter what she said, I was going to win this and bring her with me.
I'm not living my life with Madison when I have a woman like Kaori right at the tip of my finger.
My patience was wearing thin with her when she evaded my grip for the last time. Maddox refused to shift, so I couldn't relay on that asshole. There was really only one thing that could work.. our bond. She couldn't deny my touch, all I had to do was grab her and hold her close enough to bend her.
That's exactly what I did as she tried to kick me again, I side stepped and reached out to grab her arm. She evaded me then backed up, before her fist collided with my chest again. I stumbled backwards and then lunged, which again she evaded, but she ended up sliding on the floor. I guess all the damn sweat dripping off me worked to my advantage. I took that as my moment to grab her. Gripping her arm, I turned her around and pulled her into me. Her ass right against my dick.
Fuck she felt good.
She was struggling in my grip, but I had her arm pinned behind her back and the other pinned to her chest with mine. I leaned down and inhaled her scent, whatever I said or tried to deny, she had me. I licked the crook of her neck where my mark would lie and she moaned, causing me to smirk from her little reaction to me.
I pressed my dick a little harder into her ass and she leaned back into me before she let out another moan.
Ha! Got you right where I want you little one!
"Kiss me." I heard her breath out and I tore my face from her neck. Did I just hear her right?
"What did you say crazy?"
"Kiss me." She breathed out again and I lost control of my senses after that. I let her go, then watched as she turned in my arms. She wrapped hers around my neck and lifted herself until her nose was flush with mine. Her lips were so close to mine, I could feel her breath. I ran my hands down her back until they landed on her perfect bubble butt. I squeezed it and she let out another moan against my lips, but never actually kissed me.
Fuck. What is she doing to me?
"Fuzzy." She moaned as she stared into my eyes. Those fucking Steele gray eyes of hers would be my downfall, no this ass would or maybe her beautiful flawless chocolate skin. Or the way everything about her screamed woman! My woman!
Damn it! She has me!
"Do you want to kiss me?" She breathed out again, her breath sweeping across my lips. I nod and wait for her to finally smash her lips against mine. Wait to feel her submit to me.
She wrapped her arms tighter around my neck, pulling herself higher up my body. Then I closed my eyes as I felt her lips finally touch mine.
"Good boy." I heard her moan again, causing both me and Magnus to purr.
Magnus was forward with me the whole time, he was loving it just as much as I was.
Fuck this is it!
Then I felt the emptiness of her lips leaving mine. I opened my eyes and look into her eyes, to see her smile, then she winked at me.
What the hell?
She turned in my arms again until her back was flush against my chest, reached behind her, wrapped her hands around my neck, slid down, kicked one of my feet out from underneath me, I stumbled forward then she used my body weight to fling herself outwards and sent me flying over the top of her.
I flew across the damn floor like a fucking rag doll, slamming into the nearest wall. Maddox was howling with laughter in my damn head. My damn mates and the rest of the guys on the side couldn't contain themselves either I see.
To say I was stunned would be the understatement of the year. That little shewolf used our bond against me!
Yeah that's what I was trying to do to her, but damn I didn't think she would do that shit back to me! And clearly she knows what she's doing!
I stared at her in shocked from across the room, still laying flat on my ass. Me! An Alpha!
The Alpha of one the biggest packs in the country, with the strongest warriors!
Me!
And here I am on the floor, thrown and outsmarted by my little mate. A shewolf.. that's only 5'2?! Seriously?!
I watched as my little traitorous mate stalked towards me, with a smile on her face that told it all. She beat me, she won, she would have to stay here and I would lose out on the best thing that's ever happened to me.
She stopped right in front of me, then extended her hand.
"I'll go with you."
Those 4 words played over and over in my head as I grabbed her hand and pulled myself to my feet, then stared down at my little mate.
"You'll come with me?"
"Yes."
"After you won?"
"Yes."
"Why?" I raised an eyebrow at her. I was suspicious now.
"Because I never back down from a challenge and I believe you'll make a worthy opponent."
"You're crazy." I couldn't help the smile that crept on my face.
"Thank you fuzzy… You're not so bad yourself." As she couldn't help her own that took over her face. That beautiful smile.
Ugh… shit
I have it bad..
My little mate has me wrapped around her finger… and she knows it.
Yeah this could be fun!
