Chapter 7

Alexander

After I dropped my mate at her room, I went back to my office to complete the paperwork I had. But the face of my gorgeous mate kept on distracting me, and I couldn't concentrate. She was so beautiful. I couldn't help but think about her all the time. There is something so unique about her aura that I can't just wrap my head around. I feel a different kind of power radiating from her whenever I’m near. Something special that she is definitely hiding.

I can't smell her wolf and yet my beast cries that he feels a pull from her wolf. She's definitely not human, that much I know. But what are you angel? What are you hiding? I know she was lying about everything she told me on our journey back to the pack house but I will let it slip because I know she will tell me when she is comfortable. I could see from the moment we met her, she was kind of tense and distressed. Her body language was screaming that there was a problem. But what was it? I can only pray she tells me soon.

I will do anything for you, my angel. I will kill all those who are the reason behind your distress. I'm not afraid to kill for you. Heck, I'll even die for you if you wish. You just have to command me. I just really hope the time comes soon when you can rely on me completely and when you come to me to seek comfort. I just wish that time comes soon when I sleep with you in my arms and then wake up to your gorgeous face every morning, I thought.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on my door and I told the person to come in. It was Jacob.

“You called me Alpha?”

“Yes, what did you find on those rogues? Anything unusual?” I asked him to inform the pack border guards to get the dead rogues in the cell and investigate thoroughly. There was just something off about this whole situation.

“Alpha, the way they were killed, it wasn’t so normal or usual. The claw marks on their skin weren’t normal wolf’s claw marks either. It looked vicious, as if they faced an extraordinary creature.” He spoke, making me go deeper into my thoughts. An extraordinary creature? Where is this even going?

“Is it possible that what they came across was…never mind,” he mumbled, speaking more to himself before changing his mind.

“Came across what Jacob?” I pressured him into saying what he was thinking. I had to get to the bottom of this.

“White Wolf, Alpha? Is it possible that it was the white wolf?’ I remember the tales that go on about the last white wolf and the special gift she has. Is that wolf even real? Or just a part of those fables. I sighed, knowing I wasn’t getting anywhere like this. I needed some time alone to think.

“Thank you Jacob, you may leave now,” I dismissed him.

After taking a deep breath, my attention is diverted back to my mate because my beast decided to keep flashing me images of her in our bedroom and the things I can do to her. How she would look whimpering beneath me moaning my name. How I want to lick her body, her thighs and.... No! Stop.

She deserves respect. I will not do anything she's not ready for. I scolded my beast. But he only smirked.

She's hiding something from us. Aaron, my beast pointed out.

I know.

Why don't you simply ask her what's bothering her? We have to take her pain and her problems away.

I know buddy, but she will not open up to us just like that. We have to prove to her that we are trustworthy and we have to win her first.

Just mate with her already and she will fall for you. Well, I’ve got to admit my beast is kinky.

Shut up. I blocked him.

Well, my beast is very possessive and he can't bear the thought of having her away from me. That thought honestly scares me too. Yes! The first time Alexander Knight was actually scared of something. Losing his mate. I know when my beast-side comes out, people are scared shitless. But he doesn't want his mate to be scared of him. He just wants to love her endlessly. How can he not? I mean just look at her. A soul so pure that even the angels can bow down to her. She's like a goddess who knows how to make people fall at her feet. An angel made purely for the devil.

I have my reasons for the cold demeanor I maintain. When I get angry, no one can control me. You can say, I have some serious anger issues and well, nothing really can be done about it. I decided to go to my gym to blow off some steam. It's been a few days since I've worked out. This matter with the rogues is what's taking up most of my time. As I was about to enter my gym, I felt someone was already there. I could hear the person was having an intense boxing session by the continuous banging. The person was taking out their anger on the punching bag. As I neared the door, the same smell of lavender and chocolate hit me and what I saw after that, had my jaw drop.

My angel was wearing a black sports bra that did wonders in enhancing her curves and her chest, followed by fit booty shorts. Damn, I could feel myself hardening at the sight. I closed my mouth to make sure I didn't drool.

She was punching the bag with such fierceness; it was almost as if she was assuming it was some person she was taking her anger out on. Once she was done punching, she started kicking the bag, followed by a few punches again. She was fighting so gracefully that I was actually trapped in a trance for a while.

When she was done, she let out a heavy breath before continuing to pant. She turned around only to find me pinning her with my gaze. She raised her eyebrows as if questioning me what I was doing there.

“I was just.... I well... I came... I came here to work out. But I'll come later, since you are here at the moment." The hell! Since when do I stutter?

"It's alright, you can use the gym. It's yours anyway." She sassed. And boy, do I love her sassy side. I nodded and licked my lips before making my way to the treadmill for some warm-up and she continued punching. I'm really enjoying the view, you know! My Beast commented. Oh yeah buddy! Me too. More than you can imagine. After she was done with her punching, I heard her calling to me.

"Hey! Do you have any warriors I could practice with?" She asked hopefully.

The thought of my warriors touching my mate popped up and it made me lose my mind. Only I can do that! No one else.

"No!" I shouted instantly without thinking. She looked at me as if I had grown two heads. Obviously, she might think I'm crazy with the sudden change in my behavior.

"I mean ...no angel. Actually, the warriors are busy right now. Yeah they are busy." I made an excuse.

She held me captive under her scrutinizing gaze as if looking for some lie, but nodded when she found none.

"But if you want to practice ... You know I'm up for it. Obviously, if you don't have any problem." I thought she was going to say no

"OK." Wow, I didn't see that coming.

We were circling around each other waiting for the opponent to attack. She finally took a step towards me, attempting to throw a punch which I easily dodged, followed by a kick to my mid-thigh. I quite honestly didn't see it, but I caught it before she hit me. I smirked knowing my girl has some potential. But I know she was capable of more. What I didn't notice was that my girl had some plans and she immediately used her other leg and kicked me in the jaw, due to which I lost balance and stumbled a little. Damn, how high can she lift her leg? She's damn flexible.

Okay! Now we're talking. I aimed a punch at her face, which she blocked gracefully before aiming another kick at my chest. Not so fast kitten. I dodged it easily. I could say she was not predictable, which was a good thing because that will make her have the upper hand on the opponent. She then decided to punch me twice in the face. She knew I was holding back.

"Come on Alpha. Is that all you got? Make a move before I start doubting all those oh-so famous stories about you and believe that they were nothing but really just rumors." Okay, I know what she was doing. She was trying to rile me up and it was working. A bit. She lunged at me again but I moved out of her way only to grab her elbow and pulled her back to my chest. Her back was completely pressed against my chest while I had both her arms locked behind her with one hand, and my other hand landed just a little above the swelling of her breast, caging her in my hold. I had to admit this was a major turn on.

"Never go running to your opponent. They might think that you are into them." I whispered, my lips ghosting her right ear. She shivered. I was proud I had the effect on her and mentally smirked. Before I knew, she kicked my knee. Hard. I fell but brought her down with me. She immediately took advantage of this and straddled me while I was lying on the ground with my hands pinned above my head. I was really enjoying the position I must add.

"What does the opponent think now?" She whispered seductively. I flipped her over and now was on top of her. By her expression I could guess she didn't see that coming. I moved closer and I was sure for a moment she thought I was going to kiss her. Her eyes widened and she tensed a little, only to relax after I moved my lips to her ear rather than her lips. Although I really wanted them to land on her lips, but knowing that would make her tense, I restrained myself.

"He thinks you're beautiful," I replied honestly, taking her by shock. The air grew thick. Her eyes locked with mine and for a moment it was like it was just the two of us in this room and nothing else mattered. Well, there was actually just the two of us until I heard someone cough. I mentally groaned. Great timing! I moved off of her and we got to our feet. She was a little red. I'm assuming she was blushing and was trying really hard to hide it, but my kitten didn’t do a good job at it. She definitely looked flustered.

My eyes landed on beta Lucas, who was the one who disrupted our little moment. I immediately stood in front of Aurora to shield her body. Only I'm meant to see this flawless skin.

" What is it, Lucas?" I gritted out, trying to control my growl.

"Actually, alpha, there is something we need to take care of and your presence is required." Lucas replied a little uncomfortably.

What is it? I mind linked him.

We captured two more rogues alpha. They are in the cell now.

Alright, I'll be there. I nodded lightly and he left.

I turned around to look at my angel, looking at me intently. She wanted answers.

"We have a little problem with the rogues. Not a big deal. I'll be back later." I replied and left, not before having the courage to take a step and kiss her forehead, my lips lingering there for a moment. She smelled so good even after the whole fight. I sniffed her hair once more before leaving her there all flustered once again.

Soon.

I told myself and calmed my beast. I definitely need a cold shower after this.
