ERIS' POV:-
Looking into his eyes, I saw anger in there for me for the very first time. I gulped hard and my heart was literally pounding against my rib cage. I was struggling to find the words that could help me in that situation. “I thought I would be …” I tried to start but I stopped in mid sentence, knowing that nothing could help my situation. I knew that I had made a mistake and I realized it later.
I narrowed my eyes in shame. A few days ago, I became the Beta of the pack and I had made a mistake that had angered the Alpha himself. Alpha Lucian pinched my chin lightly and guided my gaze toward his. “What do you have to say about it?” He asked me in a calmed tone. Looking into his eyes, I was surprised how fast his anger had vanished.
I licked my lips, staring into his eyes. “I am sorry. I made a mistake. I should have talked to you about it first. Then It should have been your decision if you wanted to discuss it among everyone else.” I apologized to him, and accepted my mistake first thing.
He sighed as he wrapped one of his arms around my waist and pulled me toward his tall figure. “It's alright. And I hope you keep it in mind from now on that you must discuss everything with me first then we will decide if we want to discuss it with the others. You are not just my Beta, but also my woman.” Alpha Lucian was very firm when he asked me never to repeat those mistakes.
My heart skipped a beat when he called me his woman. I never thought that this word would ever feel comfortable for me ever again.
Alpha Lucian stood up from the fountain's edge and offered me his hand. I placed my hand onto his and he pulled me on my feet. “Let's go home. I am starving and I want to eat that deer's leg that you hunted yesterday.” Alpha Lucian whispered softly as he tightened his hold around my waist.
Hand in hand, we walked back toward the mansion. He was holding my clothes in his other hand. Everyone was looking at us. But neither did I care, nor did he. It had started to feel like I had finally gotten my second chance I so badly needed in my life.
We entered the mansion. Alpha Lucian and I went straight into the kitchen. Since it was late, the omegas had already left the mansion. We were alone in that big mansion. Alpha Lucian had a mischievous smirk on his face as he took his pants off again.
My cheeks burned as I expected to be engaging in the intercourse with him again. “I am hungry. I want to eat first, not have sex again.” I tried not to sound dull as I tried to walk toward the refrigerator to get ready for dinner.
Alpha Lucian started laughing as he heard me. I whimpered when he started unbuttoning my shirt from behind. “I am planning to cook with you. But in an erotic style. You know , we can do both.” He whispered seductively in my ears as he took his shirt off of me. He tied an apron around my body and did the same on his body. He took a step away from me. I knew he wanted to check out my bare ass.
Smirking mischievously, I deliberately bent down, going through the fridge for no reason. That gave him the full sight of my bare ass, and things that were hidden. I heard him growl as soon as I felt his intense gaze on my body. I grabbed the pack of lettuce and stood straight up. I was chopping the vegetables while Alpha Lucian prepared to roast the deer leg I had marinated.
Aside from the fact that he and I were both naked as we worked in the kitchen together, the scene in front of my eyes was a dream come true. I have always wanted to be in the kitchen with my man. Even if he wouldn't do anything, but just watch me.
Once dinner was ready, Alpha Lucian helped me set the table. For dessert, I had made cheesecake since Alpha Lucian loved cheesecake so much. We sat together on the table. We didn't care to cover our bodies. We were too hungry to care about all that.
After dinner, I brought the cheesecake to the table. I was about to go back to my seat when Alpha Lucian grabbed my hand and pulled me on his lap. I whimpered as I fell on his lap. “Where do you think you are going, baby? I like my dessert extra sweet. And it's impossible without you.” Alpha Lucian was rubbing his cheek against my head as he whispered seductively in my ear. I drew a shaky breath as I could feel him getting excited for me yet again. I could feel his manhood growing beneath me.
He untired the apron from my body and threw it on the ground. He filled a spoon with the creamy content of the cheesecake and spread it all over my breasts, my neck and on my cleavage. “May I?” He asked for my permission while staring at my body with his hungry eyes.
Smiling shyly, I nodded my head. His head dipped toward my neck first. He started licking the dessert off of my skin, making me anxious for him. It was as if he just couldn't have enough of me no matter how many times he could have me. And to be honest, it was the same for me.
It felt extremely good when a man asked for my permission before he touched me. I wrapped my arms around his head as Alpha Lucian started licking the cream off of my breasts. He pulled one of my nipples in his mouth and rolled it between his teeth, making me whimper in pleasure. I couldn't remember how many times I had done the deed with him that night. Then again, we always lost the count because we were together.
……………
A few days later, Alpha Lucian was finally ready to discuss the matter with the rest of the people. Instead of discussing it in the meeting hall, he thought it would be better if he talked about the rising trouble in front of the whole pack, especially the warriors of the pack. Hand and I were informed prior. And so were the commanders.
“Alpha! If this kind of trouble is rising upon our heads, what are we supposed to do in a situation like this? Ramsay was a bastard but Samael is the living devil. We all know what he did to our Beta. And to all those prisoners who were falsely accused.” It was one of the soldiers who had once served Ramsay as well.
Everyone was now concerned. They all wanted to know what Alpha Lucian was thinking about this rising troublesome situation. Alpha Lucian looked at me when he saw fear in their eyes. They were not afraid of the war. But they were afraid of the sick games the Coltons liked to play. I had informed Alpha Lucian about this as well. I had told him why people of the pack would be worried since Alpha Lucian decided to inform them that Samael was actually now the active alpha of the Dark Wolf Pack, or whatever was left of them.
I wish there was an easier way to tell the people not to worry about Samael. But it wouldn't be true. Hank was also a little concerned since according to him, it could be no one else but Samael who got a hold of their previous Beta, Beta Dean.
For some reason, I believed that it was not the whole story. Only two people knew that story. Samael wouldn't say anything until I had submitted to him completely. And Dean was no longer alive to tell the truth.
I had my doubts that Neal was also aware of what really happened to Beta Dean. “We are still discussing the matter to come up with a proper solution to this problem. But I want to ask you all to be ready if they want a war.” Alpha Lucian informed the warriors.
Their faces fell for a moment. Of course they didn't want to fight another war just yet. “I know it's depressing and very annoying. I know you feel angry. So let's not waste it. Make it your strength. The hatred and the anger will be your best friends on the battlefield.” Alpha Lucian started his motivational speech.
Suddenly, I started feeling something bubbling inside my stomach. It had started happening a day or two ago, but that day, it was happening more often. “We will win this together.” Alpha Lucian announced and the crowd roared with their newly found energy.
“Are you alright, Eris? You look pale today?” Hank asked me in a low tone as he noticed me taking deeper breaths. I was gently rubbing my hand on my chest.
“Yeah! I am fine. I think it's something I ate at night or maybe in the morning. I am perfectly fine.” I replied to him and I tried to sound calmer. But the truth was that I couldn't calm down at all. My stomach felt like it was about to throw everything out.
Hank just nodded his head and walked toward Alpha Lucian as he had called Hank. They were about to start showing some easy self-defence techniques to all the warriors to teach their women and children so the pack could remain safe even if the men were out on a war. It was my idea to let the women and children take care of the pack's security and ask the men to take part in daily training, all of the men who were between the ages of sixteen to sixty.
Alpha Lucian was surprised to see the results. The training ground was completely covered with all those men we had called. The commanders were asked to train the new people first hand.
I started to feel like I was suffocating. Breathing heavily while fanning my face with both of my hands, I walked toward the corner. I bent down a little as I felt like something was literally reaching my throat. Before I knew it, I was throwing everything out of my stomach that I had eaten since the dining the night before.
After throwing up, the ache in my belly was a little better. I grabbed a bottle of cold water that was placed on a table. I gargled with the first sip then I downed the whole bottle in one go.
Breathing heavily, I threw the bottle in the recycle bin. Alpha Lucian had his eyes on me as I walked back toward my post. His eyes asked me the question. He wanted to know if I was alright. I forced a small smile on my face and nodded my head just to reassure him that I was actually okay.
“What about our new Beta? Can she really fight in a Battle against Samael?” One of the assholes asked who thought it was funny to bring my past everywhere I went.
Alpha Lucian wanted to answer him but I signalled him to hold his thoughts. “Why don't you find out yourself how much I can actually fight?” I challenged that soldier confidently as I walked toward the stage, where Hank and Alpha Lucian were.
Other soldiers started hooting as they heard me. Everyone knew that I was named as the Beta. No one believed that I became the Beta on my own strength. They all believed that I was lucky enough to save Alpha Lucian's life twice and as a reward, I was named as the Beta of the Lightning Horde Pack. They just had no idea how wrong they were.
