The Alpha's Feisty Mate

A message

Isabella POV

 

 I stood next to my father outside the packhouse at the top of the stairs by the front doors. My brother stood on the other side of my father. We were all facing the U-shaped driveway awaiting the arrival of Alpha Drake.

 

 My father shot me a disapproving look but didn’t say anything. I instantly knew it was because of my choice of clothes. After the crazy morning events, I never bothered changing out of my training clothes. I was so lost in my thoughts that it was too late to change when my father mind-linked me that Alpha Drake was arriving.

 

 So here I stood, wearing tight black spandex shorts and a hot pink sports bra that makes the girls pop. I understand my father's disapproval. It’s not really an appropriate outfit to be wearing while meeting another Alpha. Oh well, I thought to myself. At least I don’t stink. I inwardly chuckle.

 

Within minutes, two black SUVs pulled up in the U-shaped driveway and came to a stop at the bottom of the stairs. 

 

 My wolf Bri was restless in my head for some reason but said nothing. Thank goddess, I couldn’t handle her chirping me right now. 

 

 The driver of the first SUV stepped out, looking our way. The guy was huge, over 6 feet tall, and built like a tank. He looked like it would only take one punch for him to knock someone on their ass. He’s got the intimidating and scary look going on, that’s for sure.

 

 I saw someone step out from the passenger side, but couldn’t quite make him out till he rounded the SUV and stood next to the driver.

 

 My eyes met with the passenger, and my heart literally skipped a beat. He was by far the sexiest man I had ever seen. He’s massive, like 6’6 tall, muscular but not to the same extent as the driver, more proportionate, in my opinion. He wore a black button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His biceps were big and straining the fabric of his shirt. 

 

 Heat flooded my nether region when I saw all the tattoos covering both arms and sneaking up his neck. His black hair was messy, like he had run his fingers through it to slick it back. 

 

 My eyes devoured every inch of this god-like creature standing In front of me, and I couldn’t help the image that flashed in my head of me exploring every inch of his muscular body with my mouth and tongue. 

 

 Oh my goddess, what was wrong with me? Where the heck did that thought come from? 

 

 I heard my wolf snicker in my head and purr? ‘What the hell, Bri? Pull it together. You’re a wolf, not a damn cat,’ I told her in my head. 

 

 ‘Dang it, Bella, I can’t help it. He’s like sex on a stick. I want to pounce and devour all of him,’ Bri replied, sounding out of breath like she had just finished running a marathon. 

 

 I rolled my eyes at her. She’s acting like a teenage girl with a crush. 

 

 Once I was done exploring every curve, muscle, and groove on his body, I snapped out of my trance. I realized that he was now at the top of the stairs and standing directly In front of me. 

 

 When my eyes met with his eyes, I noticed the wide arrogant, cocky grin plastered on his face, making it clear that he noticed me eye-fucking his entire body just seconds ago. My eyes widened slightly at the realization. Shit. 

 

 Just like that, that’s all it took, one arrogant and cocky grin from him to snap me out of my lust-filled thoughts and dry up my pussy like the Sahara desert. I inwardly rolled my eyes. Yup, he’s officially part of the 99% group that I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole. 

 

 ‘Speak for yourself.’ Bri stated in my head, still panting. 

 

 ‘Ya, well. My body, my choice.’ I snickered back at her. 

 

 I noticed the man, I believed to be Alpha Drake inhale deeply, and his face changed. I saw flickers of emotions stir in his eyes, shock, disbelief, and anger. I was not even sure, though. As quickly as the emotions appeared, they were gone. He stood staring at me with a blank expression. 

 

 “Alpha Drake, thanks for coming,” my father said to the man I had just been eye fucking. I watched as they shook hands.

 

 “It’s my pleasure. We have much to discuss, Alpha Blain,” Alpha Drake said with a nod.

 

 “Alpha Drake, I would like you to meet my son Declan and my daughter Isabella,” my father said with a proud voice.

 

 “It’s an honor to meet you,” Alpha Drake said before shaking my brother's hand and mine. I couldn’t help the shiver that ran down my spine when his rough, strong hand grabbed mine. Ok, maybe I exaggerated when I compared my pussy to the Sahara desert. She’s definitely betraying me. Perhaps it’s his smell. It’s heavenly, a mixture of woodsy musk and dark chocolate. 

 

 I put all my thoughts aside and put a polite smile on my face. “Nice to meet you,” I said.

 

 “This is my Gamma, Erik, and my warriors, Tom, George, and Bret.” Alpha Drake introduced them all to us. They were all huge. What the heck is in the drinking water at the Crescent moon pack? I thought to myself. 

 

 Once we were done with introductions, my father instructed the head maid to show Alpha Drake and his men to their rooms on the second floor of the packhouse. 

 

 That’s where guests usually stay. The third floor was for the Beta family, and the fourth floor was where the Alpha family lived. 

 

 Once Alpha Drake and his men entered the packhouse and were out of sight, I took the opportunity to head back to my room to freshen up, maybe take a long cold shower to shock my wolf back to reality. I snickered at the thought.

 Alpha Drake POV

 

 We pulled up and stopped in the U-shaped driveway outside of the Blood moon pack house directly in front of the stairs leading up to the front doors. 

 

 The packhouse was four stories high, not nearly as big as my packhouse but modern looking.

 

Standing at the top of the stairs was Alpha Blain. I’ve met him several times at previous Alpha meetings, so it wasn’t hard to recognize him. The man standing beside him, I would assume, was his son. He looked like a younger version of Alpha Blain. I’d been told he should be taking over as Alpha soon. 

 

 Then my eyes landed on a small little she-wolf standing on the other side of Alpha Blain. She was drop-dead gorgeous. I was assuming it’s his daughter, Isabella. She’s wearing tight little spandex shorts and a bright pink sports bra that make her generous size breast pop. I had to admit it’s an interesting outfit choice to wear when meeting an Alpha, but hell, I wasn’t going to complain. It’s sexy AF. I couldn’t help but let my eyes explore the perfect curves that make up her hourglass figure. She’s got some good muscle on her. I liked a woman that took pride in her body. It’s sexy. Her abs had the very light definition of a six-pack. Her legs were toned. I couldn’t help but imagine those strong legs draped over my shoulders while I explored and tasted every inch of her sweet pussy. Oh, those perky breasts, how good they would look bouncy in my face while she rides my cock like a wild dirty girl. I felt the bulge in my pants stiffen at my thoughts. Wow, ok, pull yourself together. I inwardly tell myself before her father catches onto my dirty thoughts. 

 

 My wolf Devon was doing laps in my head. I wondered what was up with him?

 

 I looked over at my Gamma, Erik, and I could see his eyes all over the little she-wolf’s body and I couldn’t even help the low growl that left my lips. Erik looked at me with shock and confusion written on his face. Luckily, we were still far enough away, so no one heard my possessive growl. Thank goddess for that.

 

 As we started climbing the stairs, I could see the little she-wolf practically eye fucking my body. She’s not shy about it either. Her confidence was hot. I couldn’t help the grin on my face when I saw her reaction when her eyes met mine and realized she had been caught staring. She wasn’t embarrassed like I would have expected, just surprised, and thought I saw a hint of curiosity in her eyes. 

 

 ‘Do you smell that?’ My wolf was practically yelling in my head. I immediately inhaled to see what he was talking about. 

 

 Wow, the most intoxicating smell hit my nose like a title wave—a mixture of strawberries and fresh-baked sugar cookies. 

 

 ‘Mate!’ My wolf growled in my head. 

 

 Oh shit! My face changed from the grin I was giving Isabella, to shock and disbelief. I saw Isabella was still watching me, so I quickly hid my emotions, not wanting her to catch onto my realization. 

She didn’t seem to feel the Mate bond the way I did. I wonder how old she is. She might not be 19 yet. That’s a good thing, I thought to myself. I can hopefully leave here before the bond even hits her, then I can avoid her like the plague for the rest of my life.

 

 Even after those thoughts, I found myself slightly curious about what she might be like. Maybe a sexy little minx like her might be fun. I can almost picture her now submitting to me mind, body and soul. 

 

 I wiped those thoughts from my mind while we made our introductions. I got my confirmation from Alpha Blain that the little she-wolf was, in fact, his daughter, Isabella. I shook her soft, but surprisingly strong hand and felt bolts of electricity running through my body. It felt so good, and the pleasure it gave me was insane. That definitely confirmed that she was my mate. Great, I thought sarcastically.

 

She didn’t say anything. She almost seemed anxious to get out of my presence, which I found interesting. Most she-wolves would kill for a chance to be with me. That just added to my curiosity about that little sexy minx.

 

 ‘I don’t care what you want, Drake, but there will be hell to pay if you don’t mark and claim her right now.’ My wolf growled in my head.

 

 ‘Not happening, Devon, so get over it,’ I replied and pushed him to the back corner of my mind.

 

 Once introductions were done, a maid escorted my men and I to our rooms.

 

 She guided us to the second floor before opening one of the doors in the hallway. 

 

 “This is your room, Alpha.” She instructed and motioned inside with her hand. 

 

 I walked into my room and turned to thank her before shutting the door.

 

 I was exhausted. Being in a car for hours, listening to Erik ramble on about the latest she-wolf he fucked was mind-numbing, and now I have a headache.

 

 It’s just past lunchtime, so I figured I would take a quick shower to freshen up, maybe rest for an hour before meeting Alpha Blain and talking business. 

 

 I couldn’t help myself. Once I was in the shower, and the warm water was caressing my body, I got all kinds of naughty images of that little Minx, Isabella. It didn’t take long for my erection to stand at attention. Well, this was going to be a harder trip than I was hoping for, I thought to myself while turning to tap to cold water. That should take care of my erection. 

 

 After resting on the bed for an hour, I decided it was time to meet with Alpha Blain. 

 

 I mind-linked my Gamma, Erik, and asked him to meet me in my room.

 

 Five minutes later and there was a knock at the door. 

 

 “Come in,” I said.

 

 The door opened, and Erik walked with a big smirk on his face. As scary as he looked, he’s a pretty chipper, carefree kinda guy. 

 

 “So, what did you think of Alpha Blain’s daughter, Isabella?” Erik asked me with a grin on his face while wiggling his eyebrows at me. 

 

 “You’re a creep. You know that?” I chuckled, trying not to let any of my real emotions shine through. The last thing I need is Erik busting my balls about some she-wolf.

 

 “Creep or not, you can’t deny she’s freaking hot as hell, and that outfit is forever ingrained into my memories,” he said with another chuckle. I had to hold back a possessive growl, I didn’t like the fact he was checking out my mate. 

 

 “Whatever floats your boat. If you are into bimbos, then have at her.” My own words made me internally cringe, and Devon was pissed right off that I was talking about our mate like that. I had to put on an act for Erik’s benefit. I didn’t want him to know she was my mate. 

 

 “Well, you never know. I might just sample what the Blood Moon pack has to offer while I’m here.” Erik said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. 

 

 Devon, my wolf, pushed forward, and I wasn’t able to control the low growl that left my lips. 

 

Erik’s face turned quickly to shock and curiosity, and I could see the suspicion in his eyes. Luckily for me, he didn’t question me. He just gave me a look. 

 

 “Let’s go have a chat with Alpha Blain,” I said, before he had a chance to say or ask anything further. Erik nodded and seemed to drop the subject for now. I knew this wasn’t the end of the conversation, though. I could feel it. 

 

 Since we aren’t part of the Blood Moon pack, we can’t mind-link with them, so we are just going to make our way down to the main floor of the packhouse and ask for directions to the Alpha’s office.

 

 When we reached the main floor, we came across Declan, the guy that was introduced to us as Alpha Blain’s son. He seemed like a serious guy and didn’t look as thrilled as his father to have us on his territory, but he didn’t say anything and remained respectful.

 

 “Declan.” I greeted him with a nod, and he nodded back.

 

 “I’m looking for your father,” I told him.

 

 “I’ll take you to his office,” Declan offered.

 

 “Thanks,” I said. 

 

 The three of us walked in silence till we reached a wooden door. Declan knocked, and shortly after, we heard, “come in.”

 

 Declan opened the door, and I saw Alpha Blain sitting behind the desk.

 

 “Come in and have a seat, Alpha Drake,” he said with a small smile. 

 

 I sat in one of the leather seats across from him. My Gamma Erik sat in the seat beside me, and Declan took a seat on the couch off to the far wall. 

 

 “I’m going to get right down to business.” Alpha Blain said with a serious tone, and I nodded in acknowledgment, waiting for him to continue. 

 

 “There was another attack on my territory this morning.” He said with a sigh. I was shocked. His pack has been attacked twice in two days. 

 

 “Any fatalities in this latest attack?” I asked with concern. 

 

 “Unfortunately, yes, a young female omega was found dead in the forest by our Northern border.” He said with a sad face before continuing. 

 

 “We found a note pinned to the tree where the body was found.” 

 

 “What did the note say?” I asked in a curious tone.

 

 “It said, you have something I want. I will stop at nothing to get her.” He replied with a heavy sigh. 

 

 Alpha Blain had a frown on his face when he finished, like he was deep in thought. I could see the anger in his eyes. 

 

 “Do you have any idea who ‘she’ might be?” I asked curiously. 

 

 “No, I have no idea, but I’m sure these attacks aren’t going to stop until I find out who they are after.” Alpha Blain replied.

 

 “ I think you’re right. Have you increased your border patrol?” I asked, even though I know he’s likely already done that. Alpha Blain is a good leader, and he’s been leading this pack successfully for a long time. I have a lot of respect for the man.

 

 “Yes, I’ve bumped up patrols and ordered my pack members not to enter the forest alone.” He replied. 

 

 “Well, my suggestion is to move up the Alpha meeting. The sooner, the better.” I said before continuing. “Maybe between me, you, Alpha Reid, and Alpha Thomas, we can figure out who the rogues want and why.” I finish my thoughts with a sigh.

 

 Alpha Blain looked defeated. I don’t blame him. I would be too, if it were my pack being targeted.

 

 “I think that’s a good idea, Alpha Drake. I’ll contact the other Alpha’s this afternoon and see if they can’t come earlier.” He replied.

 

 “Well, Alpha Blain, if there isn’t anything further, I wouldn’t mind walking your border with my Gamma. See if I can’t come up with anything that might have been missed,” I said. 

 

 “No, that’s everything for now. Just ask Declan or me if you need anything. I’ll see you at dinner. Hopefully, I’ve heard from the other Alphas by then,” he said to me. 

 

 I nodded to Alpha Blain as Erik, and I stood from our chairs and left the office.
