Chapter 81: Book Two- Her Alpha Savior- Thirty-Three
Chapter Thirty-Three
Josephine
These last couple weeks have been amazing. Max made our first official date so romantic. I couldn’t believe all the work he put into it to make it so special for me, the way the blanket was placed with all the candles and the food was amazing. It makes me wonder if he prepared it all himself or if he had help doing that. Max has been so kind and so helpful when it comes to getting me adjusted to the way things are going to be for me now. Especially now that I am in the packhouse and not at home with my family. With Max in line to be the next Alpha of our pack and with me being his true mate, that means I will be the Luna.
Do I really want to be the Luna? What if I am not good enough to be a Luna, I mean. I couldn’t even stand up to my sister and parents about treating me the way they did. I know I need to start being better and standing up for myself, especially now that I am going to be the Luna of our pack one day. I need to do my best for the pack and for Max, I need to show him that I can be a good Luna.
Max is going to be the best Alpha when he takes over for his dad. I wonder if his mom would help to guide me to be the best Luna, I know growing up she was always so nice to me and to everyone and she always seemed to know what to do to help Max’s father and she just seemed like she always had everything under control. I need to make a mental note to ask Max later if his mom would guide and show me the ropes.
With me lying in bed and thinking about everything I don’t ever hear the knock on my door at first until I hear it become louder and more urgent. I quickly jump up and run to the door to open it and I see Max standing there with worry on his face. I look back at him in confusion because I’m not too sure why he would worry, I was only laying here.
“Is everything okay, Max?”
“Are you okay? I was knocking for some time, and you never answered, and I was beginning to worry something happened to you. I was about to break the door down.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry Max. No. Everything is fine, I was just lying-in bed, and I didn’t’ hear the knocking, I must have been deep in thought.”
“Oh. Okay. Well, I was coming by to see if you were ready for school yet? But as I can see,”
His eyes trail my body and when he looks back into my eyes, I see a look of lust and I see his eyes quickly changing from gold to brown a couple of times before he clears his throat and tries again. When I look down at my clothing, I then realize why he has that look in his eyes and I quickly hide behind the door and apologize again.
“Oh! I’m sorry Max, I didn’t realize I was not completely dressed.”
His voice becomes deeper, and he steps into my room and gently grasps my hand and pulls me flush against him and says, “Oh, you misunderstand me, my little mate. I don’t mind what you wear, I prefer you like this, but I would have to beat up a few other wolves if they saw you in this. So how about you quickly change, and we can make our way to school before I change my mind and keep you here all day.”
He says all this while his nose is buried in my neck and breathing in my scent. And I can’t help but relish in the feel of his hands on my body, this must be what the mate bond feels like. If it feels this good now, I can’t imagine what it could be like when it gets stronger.
I am beyond speechless and what he has said, I can feel the heat rising through my neck and onto my cheeks. I can smell his scent as well and I can’t help but lean into his chest and take a deep breath as well and relish in the smell of my big, strong mate. But like he said I need to get dressed and ready for school and so with much regret I take a step back and out of his arms and tell him I will be ready in a few minutes. And with a chaste kiss to my cheek, he turns to leave, and I swiftly close my door and quickly run into my closet and grab a pair of high waisted black ripped skinny jeans and an off the shoulder crop top and my favorite black riding boots. I quickly brush my teeth and add a little hair care treatment to my curls to give my hair that beach wave look, and I leave it to trail down my back and brush just along my bottom.
On my way out of my room a grab my phone off my end table next to my bed and I grab my bookbag and make my way downstairs to the main entry but when I make it to the bottom of the stairs I stop short at what I see and when I stand there my breath hitches and I instantly want to turn around and run back upstairs, because what I see instantly hurts my heart and if a heart could truly crack than I know my heart would.
Max turns to look at me and instantly has a look of regret on his face and when I look to the person responsible, I want to run up to hear and claw her eyes out. This is my chance, I need to show her that she will not win this battle and that what I just saw doesn’t bother me, because I know my bond with Max is stronger than this.
Make her pay.
I hear my wolf tell me all of this like it’s a whisper in my ear and when I make my way down to Max and Tiffany continues to stand there and when I see the smirk on her face, I feel my blood begin to boil and I have a feeling of wanting to grab her by her hair and drag her to her knees and make her beg for my forgiveness. But that is not who I am, I am not that cruel. Then I hear it again.
Make her pay you need to make her understand she is not his, and he is not hers.
I get this feeling come over me and I then decide ‘To hell with it.’ And I do just that. I reach out and grab a fist full of her hair and drag her down to her knees and then I lean down so she can see my eyes, but I don’t dare get to her level, she needs to understand that I am her superior and that I will not tolerate her disrespect any longer. So, I lean down and look into her eyes.
“Why do I feel like you are trying to take what does not belong to you?”
She has a look of absolute terror on her face, and I raise an eyebrow waiting for her response, but when she doesn’t give one, I give a slight tug on her hair and she swallows loudly and starts to stutter so bad that I can’t make out anything she is saying.
“Cut the shit Tiffany, spit it out. WHY. DO. I. THINK. YOU. ARE. TRYING. TO. TAKE. WHAT. DOESN’T. BELONG. TO. YOU.”
I say again hoping I got my point across, and she will give me a proper answer. I then feel Max behind me reach out to touch my shoulder and when he starts to say something I hold my hand out to stop him from speaking and I tell him, “I will deal with you in a moment, Alpha.”
I then turn back to Tiffany still waiting for an answer and when I realize I won’t get one, I roll my eyes and tell her once again.
“If I catch you anywhere near my mate again, your punishment will be far beyond anything your little imagination could come up with. I will not tolerate some cheap whore coming into my pack house and seducing my mate. Do I make myself clear?”
She is looking at me with clear shock on her face and has a hard time finding words to come out of her mouth. But I know if I give her another few seconds she will give me an answer.
