Chasing the rejected Luna

09: Alpha Ryven

Alexander POV

I saw Alpha Ryven's eyes turn to gold, the color of his wolf's. But I was bothered because my mind was clouded with rage. I could not hear the whimper of pain that escaped Sophia's lips nor could I hear Orion's voice calling out to me.

I was focused on the hindrance that made me not want to get together with his mate. I didn't know who was madder, my wolf or me but I knew we were both mad.

It was such nonsense for two Alpha's to fight in a pack. A rough hand held me and I snapped, baring my fangs at the person. And that was when I realized it was Orion. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"You challenge me for what?" Ryven asked as his fangs began to protrude. From the back of my mind, I heard cries but did know who it belonged to as my gaze was solely on the monster at my front.

"Alexander…" Sophia whimpered in pain for what I thought should be the second time but I couldn't tell until that moment I looked down to find her blood flowing freely from my grip. I released her and took a step back, the fog in my head, clearing up instantly.

I took two steps to Sophia but she took one back. She looked at me like I was a beast and it broke my heart into a million pieces. What had I done? I was moving from the frying pan to the fire with my actions.

"Look what you've done! Happy now?" Alpha Ryven said and made to move towards me. He wanted Sophia and that made me madder.

"Don't fucking touch what's mine!" I growled and pushed Sophia behind me. She dodged from my touch and from my peripherals, I saw Orion looking at her with a warm look.

"Yours?" Alpha Ryven said and stopped in his tracks. Never in his wildest dreams did he think Sophia was my mate. When I heard of it too, It was hard to believe. I thought the moon goddess was playing a stupid sick joke on me.

And that was because my pride had been bigger than the pack house, almost killing me and my wolf in the process.

"Now, you know you can't touch her and need to steer clear of her," I said to him, my glare almost pinning him down. He didn't back down because he was also an Alpha.

I made sure to keep my eyes peeled on Sophia. And she was healing much to my relief. Orion walked to her but she let him touch him. Bloody hell! She was acting like an angel when she was so bitter towards me.

"You don't tell me who to see or not," she snapped at me and my face turned to a scowl.

"Better get used to it, baby. You're mine whether you like it or not. Now come with me," I turned around and clutched her fair slender arm in my huge calloused hand.

Alpha Ryven didn't say anything again. He knew better than to come between mates. He wasn't as stupid as I thought after all.

Sophia tried to wriggle out of my grasp but she was no fit for me. Her eyes spit out fires which made my pants tight. Something ugly was rearing up its head.

The more she struggled in my grasp, the more I was turned on. I was a bloody animal. Who does this? And her eyes were so beautiful.

I successfully dragged her to my room and locked the door. On getting outside, I realized I didn't order food for her so I mindlinked a servant to get her some food using my spare key.

"What was that about?" Orion asked me in a displeased voice. I shrugged and looked out of the car window. We were on the way to the shopping mall for Sophia.

I took the advice of Orion to get her anything and everything plus the tip one of the omegas who work in the kitchen gave him. Orion looked at me waiting for an answer and I sighed. No need to get into an argument with him after I just got one with the foolish Alpha.

"Exactly what you saw," I deadpanned and looked at the trees that were flying past the car window. We were in the back seat with a smaller man, the best driver in the pack, driving us to our destination.

"You know she would hate you for that," he said with a voice that showed how tired he was of me. I, too, was tired of myself.

"I don't care. As long as it keeps her off him for some time. She would soon be smitten by my charms anyway," I said and smiled as I thought of all the beautiful things I would be getting her.

We got to the mall and Orion decided to stay silent, making me choose what I thought would be best for my little angel. I picked up everything I set eyes on. And when I was done, I felt a sense of fulfillment. Maybe it was because I had gotten rid of the rival who wanted to tear me and my little angel apart, I could not tell.

I paid for the things while I pretended not to notice the flirtatious glances the sales attendance often threw my way. Orion was acting so insecure and weirded out on my side. I couldn't help but link him up with a pretty blond who looked like she would pass out if she didn't get attention from Orion or me.

"I hate you," Orion grumbled when we got into the car and I burst out laughing.

"What did I do this time?" I feigned ignorance and he sulked throughout the ride home. I didn't get why Orion was so nervous around girls. Girls are just cute little creatures who want to be showered with love, care, and attention. And that was exactly what Sophia would be getting from me.

I got out of the car and made my way slowly to my room. The thought that Sophia was there, probably sleeping or something made my heart burst with love and adoration.

But that was nothing compared to what I felt when I opened the door to find her on my bed. The best part was, she was in my favorite hoodies with nothing else. My eyes trailed up her legs. They were petite and beautiful. I wanted to touch her, feel her skin heat up under me while I devoured her whole.

My pants feel tighter again from the sight. She was looking like an angel as her black hair was sprawled across the white bed, a sharp contrast to the figure sleeping on it.

I didn't know I was still standing by the door with it opened and my left hand on the knob until she stirred. While she stirred, the sweater rode up a little higher, giving me access to what my eyes craved. I swallowed, moving to the bed in a trance.

The sight at the foot of the bed where I stood was nothing compared to sitting on the bed to admire her. She had full lips which were more than enough for the crazy things I thought about. Especially how it would wrap around my cock and suck as if her entire life depended on it. Heck, I was slowly losing my mind! I could scarcely believe I wanted such an adorable person by someone else's side.

My wolf was sending me images of what he planned to do to her. It was overwhelming and I soon found myself tracing the thick brows that framed her face.

Her cheeks were so soft under my touch and I wanted to kiss it together with her lips which seemed to pull me close.

I watched her eyes slowly flutter open, revealing the eyes that I had so many times fantasized about looking up at me with love and adoration.

But what I saw instead was fear and hate as soon as she realized who was sitting close to her on the bed. Her hand came down to her legs, her second hand searching for the comforter to cover up herself.

"Let me out," she snarled at me and I pressed my lips together. My hands were suspended in the air as I had initially wanted to rest upon her lips.

"I know I might have been a d*ck. But trust me when I say I am no longer who I used to be. I'm a changed person now," I told her while she looked at me like I had grown two heads.

"I'm serious. You're the one I want now," I said to her and shifted closer to her as I despised the space that separated us.

"What about your doll?" She asked me. It took me a moment to realize she was speaking of Dianne. I laughed and held her hand using some styles I learned in a movie. She didn't seem to mind. The mate bond was strong and I wanted her close to me all the time. And I knew she felt the same way with the struggles that reflected off her eyes.

"I broke up with her," I told her and she seemed to think about something. Her eyes came to mine and I resisted the urge to pull her into my thighs. The way she chewed on her lips while she racked her brain made her so sexy. More than any lady in a lingerie or bra.

"Just like that?" She asked me and I smiled. She noticed my hand in hers and pulled it out. Standing up, I watched her while she glanced at the box on the table.

"Yes. But you don't need to worry about her," I said and walked up to the box. Inside it was a necklace I had specially gotten for her. It would look so beautiful in her fair slender neck that begged to be marked by me.

While she slept, I had already gotten the perfect place to mark her. It was a spot where her collarbone met her neck. Or should it be higher so all wolves can know she's taken? I contemplated within me, my eyes still trained on her.

"I met her while you were gone. She came in here to warn me off you. I don't think you have everything under control. She was pretty mad at something," she said and all the thoughts died down and were replaced with anger.

"Did she tell you anything else?" I asked her in a voice I didn't recognize as mine. Sophia was taken aback by my voice also and I watched her cheeks flare up from fear or something.

"She mentioned something about helping you years ago and that you're indebted to her," she said in a small voice, her fear making her appear smaller than she was.

"Okay, I'll be right back," I said and stormed out of the room, closing the door with a bang. I needed blood and it was Dianne's blood. I didn't care that she helped me. Well, f*ck her and everything around her. She will pay for disobeying me.

I went to her apartment and knocked on it, almost bringing the door off its hinges. It was opened after I felt like it would really come off.

"What the…" Dianne stopped when she opened the door because my hands were on her neck in a chokehold. I smiled while I watched the life slowly drain from her eyes which had gone wild in fear.
