Chapter 43 - Alpha Daniel

Millys pov

“Shit!” Ben was cursing, looking down at his phone when I was nursing Arlo. My shoulders were hurting, and honestly, I was so sore, but I didn’t care. Nothing could make me leave my babies. There was my whole world, that and my handsome mate still making curses where he was standing, dressed in the same shirt he had when I first saw him. Oh, I hadn’t forgotten, even if he thought I had.

“Milly…. Hey…” He was getting back, giving me a small smile, kissing my forehead, and staring down at his son. This was still unreal; I was a mother, and he was the one that had given me them, planned or not. This was the best that had ever happened to me.

“What did they do this time?” Ben smiled, surprised when I put the sleeping boy back into his chair and rolled my shoulders. Having three at the same time was hard, and there was no going around that, but Ben was trying to help, and from what I had figured out, that wasn’t a normal thing. Guys in the packs didn’t seem to think they had any responsibility more than putting food on the table and following the Alpha, no matter how much of an asshole he was.

“Daniel, he killed some guard and…. Shit, Milly, I have to go back.” He looks at me like he wants me to understand when I sigh, no. No, he is not going back there. We just made it out, and that was because Ben was going against the Alpha. He was so getting punished when he got back, pups or not.

“Please, Benjamin… no….” I was pleading with him when he made a small smile. He probably had figured out that I knew this voice worked on him, the one where I was sounding the softest, my best coming out the slightest, reaching out to her mate. I didn’t want him to go back. That was bad news for everyone, the babies and me included!

“I know you don’t like it, trust me, sweetheart, I don’t like it either, but he is still my Alpha, and I can't let him down, and you and the pups will be safe. I put the coordinates inside your phone and when you get back to my home pack, just ask for Heloise or the Rema. They know you are coming, okay, sweetheart?” I don’t want to hear it when he makes a bright smile as he got it under control, just like he said that he had when he locked me inside the gas station. I knew the second he marked me that he didn’t. He protected me and the pups and would do that even if it killed him.

“Ben, just be careful, something isn’t right, and I can’t even figure out what it is, just that... well… something bad is going to happen, and I don’t want that to happen to you, that’s all….” I wanted to say that if he didn’t come back, I would go after him but what was the use? I couldn’t, not when I had three small creatures that needed me around the clock. Their father was returning to ensure that the same Alpha and Luna we were trying to get our babies away from didn’t kill each other or anyone else around them. Ben was too good for Alpha Daniel to have as his Beta.

“Nothing bad will happen to me, Milly; this isn’t the first time this has happened, okay? I swear that I can handle Daniel. He is just an asshole, that’s all, and besides, I’m happy as long that you and the pups are safe...” Ben was still smiling, pulling me closer, making me lose whatever thoughts I had to talk back to him, his smell of ocean and lemons making me dizzy, I still wanted to have him, I just couldn’t since we never were alone. He was feeling the same way about my smile, his strong arms holding me. He looked so different from me, dangerous and hard, but not right now, not when he was smiling and looking at me with pure blue eyes that were making me stop everything. I loved him so much.

“Okay… just…. Get back to me and the pups.. okay baby?” I wrap myself tighter around him, not caring that he is trying to get me to back down when I don’t want to. The babies are sleeping. I’m wrapping my legs around his hips, not caring that anyone could see us if they turned off the main road. I just wanted my mate.

“Shit…. Are you sure about this, Mills? I don’t want to start something we can’t finish…” Ben already has his hands on my butt, making me feel hotter. Just nodded when he made this big grin, walking away from the jeep that had the door open, but not too far, just a few steps inside, making me push myself against him. I wanted him so bad. I had been waiting for so long, he was my mate, and it was killing me since he marked me even more that we couldn’t be together.

“Okay…. I just thought this would happen somewhere more romantic than here…” Ben chuckled at my eye roll. I don’t care where it happens, I want him, and we don’t have all day, it sounds stupid and unromantic, but something I had learned in the short time we had become parents was that timing was everything. Even this.

“it’s not going to get more romantic, baby, now. Shirt off…” he made a surprised smirk hearing my command, lying down in the soft grass and moss that was really comfortable. I didn’t like the wildlife before, but now, being here in the small clearing with Ben, it felt good to hear if someone was around the car or if one of my pups was crying.

“Yes, mam...” he made another chuckle leaving me speechless, jaw dropped, and as I said, I knew he was my mate, but my human part still wondered how a guy like him even could look at me twice. The black ink that was snaking all over his torso and arms, only to stop right under his jaw, he really didn’t look like someone that was supposed to be with me, even though I knew that I didn’t look like Ben did. He was all badass and dangerous, and he was, no doubt, making my beast purr. I could stare at him all day if we didn’t need to hurry.

“Oh god… look at you…” I trailed my fingers all over his muscles, following the ink lines over his body. I didn’t know why he had it, but it made him sexy, and I wasn’t ashamed to admit that.

“Yeah… and now you sweetheart, I been waiting long enough being bare chest and not doing anything, you know how hard that is for me right? you are killing me, Milly….” I made a gulp hearing that. He was serious, making me more nervous. It was so stupid, I know it was, but he was so perfect, and we only had been sleeping together once, and he was drunk that time. What if he didn’t like what he saw? I mean, sure, I had filled out some being pregnant, but not by much!

“Milly, are you going to make me wait forever? Just take it off, sweetheart…” Ben was taking hold of the helm of my shirt, dragging it up when I stopped him, breathing harder from being nervous, staring into his eyes. What would happen when he didn’t like me, no alcohol or pups to make us sleep in shifts, no. just him and me? It was scaring the crap out of me for some reason!

“Ben, wait…. Just wait…. I don’t… I mean… I’m still not this… full-figured…. Woman…” my cheeks blushing to say the words; it was harder than I ever imagined saying to the man that only had love in his eyes that you knew that you weren’t his real taste. I just wasn’t, no matter what he said.

“What? Are you talking about your tits? I fucking love them…” he made a smirk again when I felt my shirt going up to my shock, panting when he was staring down at me. Nothing was covering me, just me and the eyes of Ben that stared at me. Oh god!

“Oh yes... look at that… pure perfection….” I made a small yelp feeling when his head went down. My body started to tingle hard, my back arching when his breath was on my nipple, it was so sudden, and it made me burn, not even knowing how it had happened. He was my mate, and there was no escape from that, no matter how much I tried.

“Oh god…” I was breathless, feeling his tongue coming out, licking around my areolas and making it harder for me to think. I know that somewhere in the back of my mind, I wanted to say no and cover up, but when he made me feel like this, all bets were off!

“yeah…. That’s it, let me hear that you like it, sweetheart….” I was opening my eyes, digging my fingers into his hair, earning a grunt of pleasure. He loved that when I made another his, his left hand rubbing me gently through my shorts that were in the way when I was pushing myself even harder against his hand, I needed him right now!

“Oh god…. I want you... please, Benjamin….” I was taking hold of his hair and leaning him back up. Still unable to escape his hand that was already coming inside my shorts, I didn’t stop him. No, I wanted to kiss him when he returned, having my flyer open with one hand. The other one held me in place when my hands were around his neck, digging into the skin that felt like melted lava.

“I love you; I love you so much, Milly, shit…” he was getting my shorts off when I made a sigh of pleasure, his hand on my bare skin, finally!

I didn’t answer him, mad a slight growl back to his pleasure when the blackness was swirling his eyes, luring out my beast. I was so proud of him. He was a good mate to have, a handsome, strong mate, strong enough to take out an Alpha if he needed to…

We didn’t talk more, just having the hard thud of being up against a three all of a sudden, lifted up by my mate kissing me across my neck and face. My legs spread across his naked skin, rubbing myself against him, whining that he was inside me. I wanted him so bad!

The sound of his jeans being torn made me purr, finally feeling that hard thing that was meant for me and only me, seeing my mates eyes that were up again from my neck, making me hold my breath; it was pure devotion in them, there was nothing he wouldn’t do for me or the pups, I had gotten the best mate in the world, the moon goddess had blessed me, a human with this beast of a man.

“Mark me.” He said it, smirking when I gave the nod. Yeah, I wanted that. I wanted to mark him when he kissed me again, feeling the tip rubbing my core. Oh, it was so hard, not just to let him take me, so hard!

“You are so fucking beautiful….” Ben’s voice was in my ear when the small shock of feeling him come inside of me made me stop breathing; it felt even better this time when he met my eyes, grinning like he could feel it too, just how good it was when my core was aching around him, oh I never knew that this was the best part of being with him, it really was!

The sound of being pushed back against the tree made me moan, feeling him take slow, steady strokes, giving me something I had wanted for so long. Almost forgotten how good he was, just made for me when I didn’t want to wait more, leaning in against his neck, latching on, and to my surprise, feeling hard, sharp canines that out, and Ben was growling the slightest from the pain, picking up the pace when I’m still not letting go, he wanted me to mark him and that just what am doing, even if he doesn’t like the pain, he is mine and now everybody knows that!

The sounds of someone walking around the jeep make me let go instantly, whipping my head back, feeling my mate do that too. He can feel my worry and waste no time getting me down, not caring if he is naked, taking off with me on his trail. I don’t care who is here and why; if they have touched my pups, they will die!

“Step the fuck back!” Ben’s voice is dangerous seeing that man standing just a few meters from the jeep and staring at us like we are crazy, human. He seems to be curious, and he is staring at me. I’m naked too, and I don’t care when my instinct pushes me hard to take him out. He was getting too close to my pups!

“You better leave fast, I can’t stop her, and honestly, I won’t, seeing that you are staring at my mate and getting too close to my pups...” the man doesn’t understand. He doesn’t when I growl, it sounds softer than Ben, but it’s there. I want to tear that man apart for even breathing around my pups!

“Leave!” that’s all I can say. My voice is dark and nothing more when the man nods, terrified, and backs away, making my mate smirk. I want to go after him, shred him to pieces! I’m just about to do that when I felt the strong arms around me that are catching me again, the dark tattoos that are all over him, my mate.

“Leave him. We aren’t done yet, sweetheart….” I make a huff staring out into the man's direction, he better not come back, or he will die, no matter his intentions.

“It's fine… we will stay here, not go back, just take a step inside, in case the cops are coming around…” Ben makes a slight snicker hearing my concern. I didn’t want to leave my babies when anyone could come and get them, and he understood that.

“You are the best mother my pups could have, Milly, but now I really want to show you why I’m always so hard when you are around…” he makes another chuckle when I turn around. Oh, I want that too…
