-Bad time for a jealousy attack, Layan- Priscilla said unpleasant tone- Let go of me- she forcefully patted his arm on her taking him off her.
Layan's mouth opened in shock.
-What's wrong with you?- he said loudly and the wolves around them couldn't help looking at them given the spectacle that was taking place, after all, the alpha was rarely seen losing his temper and even more so in public.
-Nothing, at least there are others who pay more attention to me than a certain wolf who gives himself the air of supreme, just because he thinks he is sure that I will always be behind him,- she said over her shoulder as she walked away. She was irritated with him, or so she could call the discomfort that was inside her chest. She had broken an important moment.
She kept walking with her back to him.
-Priscila- Layan stood in place with a contorted face then fell in behind her- Priscila I'm calling you-
-I don't like being yelled at. My parents never did. I'm not going to let you do it- she let go- At least not again. I'm not a puppy to be putting up with it quietly- -They were making such a scene in front of everyone.
They were making such a scene in front of everyone, and for some reason it seemed that the alpha was the one being scolded. But he didn't care. He'd had a golden opportunity and the wolf had blown it.
Ever since he crossed paths with Antoin he knew one thing, that wolf wasn't normal at all. The reason, he couldn't hear her thoughts and that was what he had been looking for since he had arrived. And when she finally saw him let his guard down to sneak into her mind in search of Liam stealthily, the damned Layan had arrived as a dominant male marking ground, overriding all her powers. What a moment.
And he'd chased the two brothers away too. She really wanted to hit him at that moment. His efforts were gone like water. What if Liam decided to take over another body? He intended to destroy it right then and there. Now he would have to come up with a plan B.
She heard the alpha's footsteps behind her.
And I don't like to be disobeyed, especially when a certain she-wolf has the scent that her heat is near. Are you aware of your situation and what you are causing?
-She stopped and turned to face him, they had already left the public view and entered the castle's boundaries. -Surrender, complete the lasso and I promise to stay calm. But as I know you won't do it, shut up and leave me alone. I don't feel like talking to you- well yes, she was irritated, she could be sure of it. Definitely some of her emotions were coming back, too bad they weren't the right ones.
-Ha, now you're the one who doesn't want to talk to me. Don't burn my skull Priscilla, you do whatever you want and now you tell me to shut up?
-You behave like a puppy Layan. And since you don't want to give me what I want, I'm open to look for it somewhere else. Let's see if this way you'll react once and for all,- she provoked him.
It was the only way to justify what she was doing at that moment with the other wolf and would do again. He couldn't tell Layan that he was after Liam. The alpha was a strong minded wolf, but if he focused on Liam he would surely lower his mental barriers by being all the time thinking about the wolf and Liam would be able to control him. If that happened, neither she nor anyone else would be able to do anything. Layan had never shown his true strength until now but it wasn't for nothing that he was the one leading the Council.
He grabbed her hand roughly.
-Don't you dare.
She looked at him defiantly.
-Try me, wolf,- she bowed her head and smiled coldly. The solution is in your hands.
Layan growled and his temple throbbed. She was toying with him and his sanity which was not very stable, wavering every now and then. In the last few days her rational and feral parts fought like two beasts to see who would take control of her body.
The animal sense could devour her in more ways than one and complete the loop. She didn't know when it had been, but she accepted it as hers and as the one who should be in her bed and by her side as queen, there was no doubt that no one could question her given her power. But his rational side was the one he was most conflicted about himself. Simply because she was Priscilla.
-Layan be brave. You're only fighting the inevitable and you're hurting us both. From the day your blood merged with mine our destiny was written. You know that very well- she released her grip when Layan's fingers loosened- Time is ticking and I'm not going to be after your ass forever nor do I have that much stamina, so make up your mind once and for all-.
He was already talking to her with everything, it was time to stop the games. If her heat came before the deadline of the time she would be there and Layan marked her completely she would stay, but if not she would freeze again. And this time perhaps for a long time. She could feel her body slowly getting exhausted.
-Besides, you're right, my rut is near- that made her look at her intensely, to have a wolf mentioned the word rut was more stimulating than telling him himself- If you're not at that time. He didn't hold me responsible for my actions, nor for whoever marks this nape- he ran his hand over the area- After all, I don't think you care much about me after all-
Layan's eyes narrowed.
-Will you let anyone touch you then,- the very idea made him unconsciously pull out his fangs. Just imagining that beautiful white skin being run over by someone else's fingers made her wild side begin to take over. IF nothing else she had seen her bathed in the pheromones of another wolf who wasn't even touching her she almost went crazy. At the time he didn't really know what had happened to him but like any dominant wolf, being touched by what was his own got him out of control.
At his very obvious reaction, Priscilla smiled. Layan were easier to provoke than many thought, at least for her. She placed a hand on his chest and with two of two fingers traced a path to his chin.
-I can only tell you that I make no promises. I already told you. You have the power to change everything and your wild side knows it very well, it accepts me, I'm sorry. But your fear doesn't let you move forward.
Layan was no longer listening, the conversation had stopped at the part about her not promising him anything. The wildness inside him felt threatened and came to the surface, completely overshadowing his reasoning. His eyes turned an intense gold, replacing their natural blue.
-I won't allow it-- he growled and before Priscilla could reply she found herself with a log on her back, her body pinned down by the wolf's pressing against hers, her spread thighs containing his hard one and her sealed lips being practically devoured. Even the wolf's fangs were lightly breaking flesh possessively.
Her oral cavity was opened and Layan's tongue eagerly sought hers by rolling it around and then sucking on it. The sounds provoked were even obscene, too wet. None of the previous kisses had reached the point of this one, where their mouths melted wildly and primitively.
Priscilla's hands tightened on the fabric covering Layan's broad back while his hands had moved up and down her length and ended up on her buttocks and pressed her to him. The wolf was intoxicated by that fragrance that had been intensified and mixed by that of sudden arousal.
This awakened a new sensation in each of them. Priscilla's stomach clenched while in her mind Layan only wanted more, more of that which only made him hungrier and hungrier. That was why he was avoiding her. Because she knew that once she had crossed that line, the fateful day where he allowed her to touch him more than stipulated, the return was in vain.
Layan released her lips after sucking on them to go over them with his tongue as if they were the softest and most delicious thing he had ever tasted in his entire life. He gasped, and he wasn't the only one. He felt the smaller, slimmer body tremble against him, but his consciousness wasn't able to coordinate how long he had been kissing her.
Now his instinct was in command in every way.
-You are definitely more sincere when you let your nature rule you- Priscilla's unsteady voice only reaffirmed his thoughts and he kissed her again.
Perhaps the one who looked prettier when she was quiet was the she-wolf. This time a little softer and less aggressive than the first time. Already the wolf's scent was gone from all over her and that comforted him. His had to smell like him.
Layan wanted to go on for longer, feeling that pleasant sensation, of the soft touch, of the rich smell, but he heard, not far away, something coming towards them. He growled in his throat. Someone wanted his.
-Alpha- the voice of a wolf in its animal form interrupted the moment.
Layan released the comfort of soft lips and went to turn his head showing his fangs enraged at the interruption when his head was grabbed from behind and buried on soft fur that smelled delicious.
Priscilla may have been stunned by Layan's advances, but her mind was still on this earth so she knew that the alpha was out of his mind at that moment and what was responding was the beast within. She had to be a mediator at that moment if she didn't want to see blood. They had been interrupted and Layan was very sensitive so before she killed whoever it was that had burst his bubble of arousal she grabbed his head and buried his face in her neck near her scent gland. Instantly she felt him relax against her. He was coming to.
She waited patiently for a few long seconds, waiting for him to lose the tension in his body. The wolf, a few meters away from them, did not move, nor did it speak. If he did, in the alpha's condition, he would most likely lose his throat.
Once Layan's possessive and aggressive scent diminished Priscilla looked at the other wolf and asked.
-What's wrong?
He hesitated if it was right to tell her, but after so many comments, starting with that there was a chance she could become his queen, he kind of dared.
-Princess, we found a corpse in the castle grounds. Someone killed one of the guards.
That was not good news.
