**Nicholas' POV**
"If I didn't know better Alpha, I'd say you don't like seeing my body." Emily said knocking the breath out of me. I felt her smile against my cheek then her soft lips pressed against my cheek. "See you later Alpha." She said then walked away.
"Oh my god. I just leave for a month, and you've fallen in love." I heard a voice I haven't heard in a month. Roman, my annoying best friend and beta. "When did you get back?" I asked him completely ignoring his earlier comment. "I just arrived. I didn't even get to rest, when I heard that a female challenged our best fighter and won, I had to see for myself. Seriously aside from your lover who is that girl." He asked.
"First off, she is not my lover, secondly ask her yourself." He exaggeratingly held his chest, "My dear Alpha, you break my heart. I just came back from a life-threatening mission, can't you at least be nice?" before I could respond, a mind link from my gamma reached me, "Alpha we have just received a notice from the humans, they will be coming in two weeks to renew our trade contract."
In two weeks?! why the hell are they that early.
You might be wondering why the humans are coming to a werewolf pack to begin with, well, it's because we do business with them. In order for a werewolf pack to thrive we need a lot of things that humans make. those guys be creating things like they have nothing better to do. And everything they make is top nautch.
So yeah, we trade with them. Since they are lazy and weak as fuck, there're are some things that they can't attain with their weak bodies of which we werewolves get effortlessly. But of course, they have no idea that we are werewolves.
(Sigh)
I don't even want to know what my expression looks like as I walk back to my office.
It's going to a long two weeks...
.................................................
It's been two weeks now since the notice came and everyone has been busy. We all have to work together to make the pack look like a kingdom, removing any werewolf trace, the last thing we need is the humans asking us why we have clothes spread out all throughout the kingdom or why there are a lot of claw marks on things or even why there are a lot of paw marks around the place.
I must admit, it's very tiresome. I haven't slept for two days straight, and I know that right now I look like shit, I don't even have to look in a mirror right now to know that I have dark circles under my eyes.
'Dude, we need sleep. If this continues, we won't be able to stand our ground in front of an enemy.' Mars said. Speaking of enemies, I hope none come while we are hosting humans here.
A knock broke me out of my line of thoughts then followed by a sweet scent of vanilla.
Emily.
I don't know why but I always feel like there is something missing in her scent, as though there is something suppressing her scent and for some reason, I feel like that scent is very important to me. What could it be? I wonder.
"Come in." I called out. She walked in with a tray having tea, I think. "Damn Alpha, you look like shit. When was the last time you had a good night sleep?" was the first thing she said when she walked in.
This girl really doesn't know to control what leaves that mouth of hers. She is the first female I have met to speak such vulgar like it's nothing.
"You are bold to tell an Alpha he looks like shit. Aren't you afraid of punishment?" I asked. She grabbed a towel from the tray, sat on my table then brought the towel to my face and surprisingly it's warm. "Oh Alpha." I felt her soft fingers caress my cheek while her other hand rubbed the towel under my eyes. "I thought you already knew that I fear nothing."
Where her fingers touched, I felt light tingles, and I must admit that I'm loving the feeling. The surprising thing is that I don't like it when women touch me but here, I am enjoying Emily's touch.
Then she stood behind me and started rubbing the sides of my head. "Now tell me Alpha, what's gotten you so worked up?" her voice was soothing and suddenly I had the urge to tell her exactly was going on.
If you ask me, this girl has been giving me red flags from the day she came, like she is trying to earn my trust so that I can spill my packs secretes and honestly, I just want to see how red the flag can get.
"You'll lose money if that's how you want to trade." She said pulling me out of my train of thoughts. I gave her a confused look. "I'm talking about the trade. You are giving more than you are taking." I was even more confused, "What do you mean? Isn't everything equal?" I asked. "No. they bring processed goods while you give them raw materials. The quantity might be equal but there is a huge difference on quality. If this is how you've been working, I'm pleased to inform you that you have been losing more than you have been gaining." She said then put the hair brush down.
I didn't even notice she was brushing my hair. Wait. "You know about trade?" I asked in disbelief, is there anything she doesn't know. "Yeah." Came her reply. "Is there anything you don't know?" I voiced out my question.
She smiled, God her smile. "Well, I don't know how to cook." I laughed. what girl can't cook? but yet again she's different. "Anyway, that aside. Elizabeth told me to bring you this tea." She said as she poured me a cup. "It helps with fatigue." She added. The tea was really soothing.
"So Alpha, from the princess, once you've finished with your tea you should have some rest and leave all this paperwork to your Beta and Gamma." She said as she started arranging the papers on my table, I also stood up to help her out.
Yep, that is so Elizabeth, but the only difference right now is that Elizabeth never sends someone to do this. She is always the one coming and scolding me with her hands above her hips, just thinking of it makes me want to laugh. So why has she sent Emily today?
'Why do I get the feeling that our dear sister is playing match maker? To think she was the one always singing about us finding our mate.' Mars said with a laugh. 'I think she has lost hope in us finding our mate, so she is finding a replacement.' I said.
'What happened to that power thirsty she-wolf wasn't she always clinging to you like a leach?' Mars asked. 'You mean Lylah?' Lylah a she wolf I was in a relationship with, it was purely physical, and she is also Elder Lockwood's granddaughter, that made her have the delusion of becoming my Luna.
Though she is a good lay, I can't have her as the pack's Luna. That girl can do anything for power, at first, I thought she was a kind and gentle girl, but I couldn't have been any more wrong. She is the complete opposite of kind and gentle. "Her parents had her go to other packs to look for her mate. Apparently even her own parents say that she is not fit to be Luna." I replied.
A gentle caress on my cheek pulled me out of my line of thoughts. What's up with the tingles? I looked up at her only to be met with midnight eyes staring right at me. 'I'm not complaining but is it just me or is Emily a little bit too touchy today.' Mars asked. Yeah, I also noticed, Emily is never touchy at all.
Quite alright she is always saying things that can be classified as intimate words towards the opposite sex, but she is never touchy.
I found myself drowning in her endless ocean eyes. For some reason my eyes moved from looking at her eyes to her pink plum looking lips, gash I want to kiss them.
Would she hit me if I did?
But with the way they are looking even if she stubbed me with a silver dagger it would be so worth it.
I licked my lips that suddenly went dry. What the hell is she doing to me. And where the fuck is Mars when I need him? he is always there to argue whenever I'm this close to any female. But now that I need him to pull me out of this trance, he is quiet.
Before I knew it, I found myself leaning in for a kiss, right now I'm depending on Emily to push me away because I personally have lost control over my actions. Right now, the only thing going on in my head is how her lips would feel if I were to kiss her.
Then her eyes darted to my lips the back to my eyes and that's when I lost all thoughts of rationality. I crashed my lips on hers like a thirsty man who just found water after a long journey through the desert. I expected a slap or a punch from Emily but to my surprise she kissed me with same force as mine.
In that moment, I couldn't think of anything else. I pushed her towards the table one hand holding the table behind her while the other held a tight grip on her waist pulling her close. She moaned when I sucked on her bottom lip, and I took the opportunity to slip my tongue into her mouth.
She threw her hand around my neck while the other combed through my hair as she moaned into my mouth. Fuck I'm really losing it, I could already feel myself getting hard. If she doesn't stop this, I don't think I will be able to control myself.
But a part of me... a very big part of me doesn't want her to stop. Goddess help me. Then finally she pulled away. "Well Alpha, you should get some rest. We wouldn't want the humans to find our king looking like shit now do we?" she whispered into my ear then she left.
What just happened?
