Peaceful and quiet was what the town looked like now. It was like everything had almost come back to normal. It's been a week since Breanna signed the contract between her and her mate. She had asked Alexander to let her go with her family for a week before she had to move back in with him. Surprisingly, he had agreed with no hesitation at all.
"Sweetheart, you didn't have to do all this for us, I could have found a way out," her father said, walking towards her. He had taken over the pack, and the members who had moved out began returning upon hearing about the news of his succession. The pack members feared Leonard's cruel ways more than the Lycans at some point.
"No dad, it was necessary seeing mom and brother back and our family together am satisfied," Breanna explained looking at her brother who seemed too preoccupied with virtual games.
"Thank you sweetie, you are a true daughter of an alpha, a female alpha to be precise," Alpha Richard said, embracing her.
"I love you so much hunnie," her mother, Rachael Styles, joined them, hugging both of them. Ever since she came back, she had been so emotional. Rachael couldn't express the joy that she felt being back home in words. It was too overwhelming. It seemed the moon goddess had been merciful to grant her daughter a cruel yet considerate mate. She felt worried about Breanna, but from what she has seen from her daughter's attitude, she could handle herself well.
"Okay enough with all this, dinner is ready, who's hungry?" Rachael asked as she laughed, throwing her head back. They all laughed back as they followed her to the dining table.
A week passed quick, everything else seemed to be going well except for her side. The moment had finally come, she had to face her choices. A black SUV parked at the entrance of the pack house as Breanna bid her goodbyes to her family.
" Take care sis, if that monster tries anything, call me right way, I'll be your superman," Peter, her younger brother said, throwing his hands in the air in a fighting mode.
" I will call you my superman, but I think I'll be okay Pete, take care if mom and dad okay?" Breanna said, hugging him tightly.
Soon the car halted at the familiar cold building. She was finally here, there was nothing to stop her fate from taking its course.
She pushed the front door, not sure if she was supposed to report her arrival back to the king or just head up to her room and rest.
As if on cue, a guard approached her, "King Leeds is expecting you in his office," he said, returning to his post.
In a haste to get to his office, Breanna ran over a young woman who seemed to be aiming right at her, making her stagger from the impact. Although the woman seemed to have the shorter side of the stick as she fell flat on her behind on the floor.
" Hey, look where you are going," she shrieked, pointing a finger at Breanna.
" If you had been careful enough, you wouldn't be sitting on the floor," Breanna sighed at the "warm" welcome she was receiving. It seemed every woman around here hated her.
"Do you know who I am bitch?" The woman said, raising her voice, getting up from the floor.
" I don't know, and I don't think I should know," Breanna argued back, shocked at just how this woman was willing to take the conversation.
"Alexy will hear of this," she whined, making Breanna's eyes widen at how she seemed to have an intimate name for her name, the King.
"And who gives you the right to call him that?" Breanna demanded her wolf, trying to push through her control in anger and jealousy.
"I am Camille, Alexy's mate, you must be new here, and you are very rude at that!" She exclaimed, her voice loud enough to draw attention.
"Oh, I definitely didn't know that," Breanna laughed mockingly at her, pushing her aside as she went past her. If only that Camilla or whatever her name was knew that she was Alexander's true mate, she wouldn't bother bragging before her. She would be in for a shock when he announced it, for sure. Breanna smiled, feeling excited about the image of that woman embarrassed when she found out.
Breanna decided against going to Alexander's office. She loved the feeling of being rebellious against her mate. She sat in the bathtub, soaking her skin as she listened to music on her phone.
She had not felt that relaxed in a long time. Breanna felt she deserved this after all the struggles she had been through for the last few weeks. She sniffed, the familiar citrus scent in the air, welcoming the soft touch of her mate.
"When did you come in?" She asked, softly moaning at the impact of the electric sparks that came with his touch.
"Just now love, you didn't report to me when you came back so I came to check up on you," he said removing his clothes ready to step into the tub with her.
"What are you doing?" Breanna asked, feeling her body turn hot at the sight before her. His well-defined abs begged her to run her fingers through them. Not to mention the hard muscles on his arms down to his v-line shape on this broad waist. Breanna closed her eyes in anticipation.
"Open your eyes love, I want to see the craving in your eyes," Alexander said, his voice so low that Breanna felt her control slipping away from her.
Alexander settled in the tub, bringing his lips to claim her mouth, as she met him halfway hungrily. His hand found its way to her burst, capturing her full breast as he caressed her.
"You'll be the death of me, love," he mumbled in her mouth as she raised her body to meet his. Breanna couldn't explain the heat she felt between her legs despite being in the tub. It was like a volcano, and only Alexander could extinguish it. Her body raised on its accord meeting him halfway.
"Miss, miss wake up," Breanna thought she had someone call her, shaking her violently. All her brain could register was the hotness she felt in her whole body. She jerked her body, struggling to get rid of the overwhelming heat.
"What's wrong with her doctor?" Alexander deep voice asked, causing Breanna to open her eyes.
She was laying in bed wrapped in a towel and sheets.
"King Leeds, I think she's in her heat," the doctor announced fear evident in her voice
