Chapter 21 CHAPTER 021
Stone POV:
Rob poured a glass of bourbon and passed it to me as we sat in his balcony watching the sky darken. I took a swig and groaned at the way it slid down my throat.
"So, are you ready to tell me what's bothering you, Alpha?"
"What do you want to hear first? How my pack is doing? Or how my wolf is doing?"
He paused, a smirk curling his lips before replying, "I don't know. As long as I don't have to ask your wolf the second question in person."
I snorted. He always had a way of cracking me up even though we were complete opposites. Where he was goofy and compassionate, I lacked what people termed as being emotional or having feelings. I followed my instincts and did what was necessary. That explained why I got my kind of wolf.
"My pack hasn't really been doing well with the system since my episodes have gotten worse." I took another gulp of my drink, looking away into the dark. "The second news is that I'm stuck with someone who has no value to me or my pack."
Rob shrugged as he downed his own drink. "Whatever that means?"
"My wolf, during one of my episodes, dragged in a girl from the street. A reject. Turns out she's my mate and I can't reject her."
He nodded. "No, you can't. What do you want to do? Send her off without severing the bond."
"That's exactly what I can't do. This girl," her face came up in my head. Silk hair, green eyes and plump lips that shivered with either anger or fear whenever she was near me. "My wolf calms down when she's near."
Rob grinned, a wolfish expression on his face that always indicated he was going to taunt me with this information for the rest of my life.
"Does my little friend like a street urchin?"
"Don't," I flared. "Don't call her that. And like isn't the world I'd use for what I feel for her." Hopefully, my dead glare and scrunched up nose would prove what I said to him.
Yet, Rob still had that expression on his face.
"If that's true, then your wolf is probably that way because you haven't gotten laid in such a long time." He stood with a grunt. "When's the last time you fucked a girl?"
My hardened expression began to release as I thought he was right.
"The last time I fucked was when Perri's daughter brought my refill medicines to me." Good times. The girl was good with her pussy and she had the right amount of nastiness but just wasn't enough for me.I had to let her go when I saw that she was starting to create sentiments behind the sex. I already had sex slaves, she wasn't that special."
"Let's go find some ass to fuck then. Maybe that will calm your wolf. There's a number of wolves in club that are in heat." He moved into the house, robe flying behind him. "Pretty sure they would love you to fuck them senseless."
As I moved to follow him, I felt a sharp stabbing pain in my chest. But it was so brief I ignored it and followed Rob in his car.
"What about Eleanor?" I asked as he turned on the ignition. "Your mate?"
"She will be fine. It's not like I'm the one going there to sleep with these women. Just want to watch you do it."
I sighed audibly and looked out the window. "You're weird, man." He simply cackled and drove us out on to the road.
We arrived at a small pub with a dying neon lights that read the name; Paragon. I frequented here with Rob when he was just an Alpha heir and hadn't gotten with his mate. This was the epitome of sin and everyone felt comfortable doing wild shit.
Years later and the place looked almost dead. That's what one gets when civilization began to get a hold of a pack.
Soon as the door opened, I was hit with music blasting through the speakers and thick smoke curling in the air. The lights were different colours like blue and red flashing all over.
I looked to one side and saw a young couple or maybe strangers, rocking each other on a red velvet couch. One another side, some men were discussing and drinking beer. At the centre, people were dancing, bodies swaying and the smell of sweat mingling all clogged up my nostrils.
The heat only added to my sexual desire and I couldn't wait to be pants down, balls deep into the ass of some of these women.
Right. The tall, sexy women scantily dressed, dancing around poles on a stage to the music. As I walked over to the VVIP section, I let my eyes roam over the stage, searching for the one that would catch my eye.
Fortunately for me, I saw one. She was tall and slim, a perfect body to throw in whatever position I wanted. The thought of doing that to this blonde woman with large titties got me so fucking hard I immediately waved Rob over. I pointed at her and he flashed me a knowing grin before moving away.
I sat in the private booth, awaiting her arrival. And she did come. She looked different up close. Perhaps it was because I could see the layers and layers of makeup on her skin that made her face look like a half baked doughnut or the flashing red lip gloss on her lips or the overdone eyeliner that almost reached her thick dark brows. I didn't know why but she just didn't look like what I was expecting.
Wait. What was I expecting? For a stripper to have the same naturally pretty face and glowing eyes that Ari had?
For fuck's sake, I needed to stop thinking about her.
"Kneel." I growled.
She did without hesitation, a seductive smile lifting the corner of her red lips. That worked a bit. I shifted on the chair, raising my hips so she could see my bulge. She seemed excited to please me. Maybe too excited.
"How good are you with your mouth?" I asked, my voice almost a growl.
She leaned in closer, running her tongue over my dick print. "Pretty good, I'd say."
I was supposed to feel that good feeling running down my spine with that little action. Instead, the sharp pain returned, only that it wasn't brief. It cut through my chest like a hot iron searing into my heart.
A painful growl escaped me and somehow, the blonde thought she was doing a good job as she giggled and began to fumble with my belt.
A jab to my stomach and I doubled over on the chair.
"Are you okay?" I heard her voice over the music but everything sounded muffled now.
My sight started to become hazy and I felt my gum itching. I looked down, afraid of the worst and saw that my claws were starting to emerge.
"No. No. No. No. Fuck!" I snarled as I hid my face to the dark side away from the stripper. I didn't need anyone to tell me my wolf was taking over again.
Away from my pack, away from the hospital and worse, away from Ari. I feared for everyone in the club. This wasn't going to end well.
