Alpha Axel 's pov....
Today has been a hectic day for me, I had a lot of things in my pack to take care of. I couldn't just leave everything for Lucas,
I wonder if Scarlett will be asleep or not, I need to clear off what she must have thought of me after kidding Mira accidentally.
I need to explain things to her and also let her know I have ended things with Mira so she doesn't see me as a cheat..
I had wanted to run after her and explain things to her when she caught me in the act but Jamie showed up quicker and took her to the garden.
I have been unable to speak with her since then.
"Any other thing else left for us to do?" I asked as we both walked down the hallway.
It seems everyone was fast asleep as everywhere was quiet.
"No Alpha, you might go to rest now," Lucas replied and I rolled my eyes at him.
"How many times have I told you not to address me as 'Alpha' when we are the only ones together?"
"I am sorry, I almost forgot, it's just that I have gotten used to it." He stated and I scoffed.
Lucas And I have been close friends for years, that's why I chose him as my Beta.
"Whatever, I am thinking of Scarlett joining Mira's training," I said wanting to hear his suggestion about it.
"You want Mira to train her? I don't think that's going to be a good idea because Mira sees her as a rival. You think she is happy you are ditching her for another lady, she would literally do anything to pull you guys apart. Have you forgotten the kind of person she is?"
Lucas disagreed with my suggestion and I smirked,
"She wouldn't dare, if she tries anything stupid, I am going to teach her a lesson. We were never in a relationship, she was just close to me for fucking sake. I guess she should have known her place by now. Mira is the strongest and best female trainer in my pack. I want a skillful trainer for Scarlett, that's why I want her to be trained by Mira. You shouldn't worry about anything, I will handle it." I said with confidence and Lucas sighed.
"Okay if you say so,"
"You should go have a good rest, I have to go check Scarlett." Lucas bowed slightly before leaving.
I then diverted to the hallway leading to Scarlett's room, I got to her room and luckily for me, it wasn't locked.
It seems I need to warn her about not locking her room when night comes, don't she know it's dangerous to leave her door unlocked when Bryton is out there looking for a hundred ways to get hold of her?
I stealthily entered her room and closed the door behind me in the most quiet way ever to prevent her from waking up if she was actually sleeping.
Like I guessed, she was asleep already.
I took a few steps to her bed and sat on it drawing close to her.
I got a full view of her beautiful face and smiled widely. She looked so cute and innocent while asleep.
I tucked the few strands of hair that fell over her face behind her ears. I slowly began caressing her soft cheeks and she didn't even blink for a second, she must be a deep sleeper.
I feel so complete having her by my side and I am going to make sure I keep her forever with me.
I am not ready to let her go even if I bring down Bryton later on, I will make sure I win her heart.
I am sure she is the perfect Luna for me and my pack.
My eyes suddenly fell on her tempting lips and I gulped, they appeared pinkish and soft.
I had the urge to feel her lips on mine, I think having a taste of her lips isn't bad, she isn't going to know if I stole a kiss or not since she is asleep.
I can't just resist her tempting lips,
I leaned closer and just when I was about to crash my lips on hers, her eyes flew open and she sprang up immediately.
"Alpha Axel ! You scared me," she muttered holding her chest.
"That's what you get for leaving your door unlocked, what if it was an intruder who has the intention of harming you? You shouldn't leave your door open next time, okay?" I instructed and she nodded slowly.
"Were you sleeping or were you just pretending?" I queried looking at her closely and she looked away immediately.
"Of course I was," she answered sharply and I took a deep breath.
Her eyes doesn't looks sleepy at all,
"So do I have anything to do for you?" She asked and I sighed.
"No, I came to talk about the kiss..." she suddenly interrupted me.
"Oh that? I understand okay? Jamie already explained everything to me," she rushed her word and suddenly smiled, they were fake smiles though, it was so obvious.
Was she mad at me?
I shifted closer and took her hands.
"Don't listen to whatever Jamie says to you, just listen to me, okay? The lady you saw me with at my room was Mira, she was my fuckmate and I already cut ties with her already. You came at the wrong time because she actually forced that kiss on me and I wasn't even expecting it. I don't feel a thing for her, okay?" I asked and she sighed.
"It's fine, you can continue your relationship with her, I shouldn't be the one to stop you. I am just your mate because I need your protection so you shouldn't stop things you've been doing." She muttered and I chuckled.
"I really mean what I said, I have nothing with her any longer, I should leave you to sleep now." I said and shifted closer to her.
I kissed her on her forehead and whispered into her ears, " Goodnight and don't forget to lock your door. '' I stood up and she kept staring at me.
"Do you want me to spend a night with you here?" I teased, her eyes widened immediately.
"No! No! Please, I am okay sleeping alone." She immediately answered and I laughed slightly.
"I was just joking, sleep tight and make sure you dream about us." I winked and smiled at her before leaving.
I stayed at the front of the door and ensured she locked it before leaving.
Scarlett's POV...
After being sure that Alpha Axel already left, I stood up and immediately locked my door like he has instructed me to do.
I fell on my bed and took a deep breath, I wasn't asleep yet.
I knew when he came into my room, I recognized him through his scent.
I knew when he caressed my cheeks and tucked the strands of my hair behind my ear.
When I felt he was leaning closer to me, I opened my eyes slightly and saw that he was trying to kiss me.
I was surprised and immediately sprang up,
I was wondering what he came to look for in my room at this time of the night but after I listened to his explanation, I felt relieved.
"Our mate wasn't a cheat like we accused him of being," Kyra said and I scoffed loudly.
She was the one who concluded that not me, she should blame herself instead.
The fact that he cut ties with Mira because of me made me feel a little special, he is a cool and decent Alpha.
That was what made me like him and craved to see him someday but I ended up being his mate? Sometimes, fate can just be twisted.
I am glad he isn't with Mira anymore but I smell Mira is never going to give up, I just have to be very careful of her.
I would try staying away from her, I will avoid her in any possible way and make sure we don't cross paths.
"Let's go to bed, I am feeling sleepy already." My wolf, Kyra, complained and I sighed.
I yawned suddenly and covered myself with a duvet before drifting to wonderland.
