Challenge

"It has been two weeks, Christoph. I think it is safe to have me spar with others. You even told me yesterday that I had caught up to the she-wolves my age." Violet was pleading her case with her beta.

"I understand Violet but Eli really doesn't like the idea and he is Lunar." Christoph started but Violet stood up straighter flexing her authority as Alpha and held up a hand.

"Who is Alpha?" She asked.

"You are Alpha." Christoph replied.

"Does a Lunar hold more power than an Alpha?" She asked, watching her beta and mate's father fall into her trap.

"Well no they hold power over others but Alpha's hold more authority."

"So am I not being listened to because I am a female Alpha and Eli is a male Lunar or is it because I am not demanding it with my Alpha command? I value your opinion Christoph but either one of these reasons is wrong." Violet said, feeling her blood boil.

Eli get your butt in here now!

"I am sorry Alpha I didn't mean to undermine any authority." Christoph said as his son walked in.

Violet instantly turned on him. "So you're telling my beta not to train me with the others? Have you decided you are Alpha or do you think I am too weak to handle the other She-wolves?"

Eli looked at his father. A little help here?

Sorry, son you are on your own. You better tread lightly.

"I never said you were weak, you are very strong," Eli says cautiously. "I just don't want to see you get hurt. You haven't been training long."

"So you are going over my head then and deciding what is best for me. I am not only your mate Eli, I am Alpha and you need to remember that!" Violet exploded.

Eli looked at his hands unsure of what to say to make it better. Violet walked towards the two men and decided all that can be done is to go full-blown Alpha to show her power and strength. "I will be training with the other she-wolves today and that is final. I have listened to both of your concerns. However, my pack must see me as strong and this is the most important way of doing that."

Both Eli and Christoph bowed their heads then replied "Yes Alpha" to her command. Christoph left the office "See you in an hour for training." Eli stayed behind. There was a look of pain visible in his face making Violet feel bad for pulling rank.

"You know I never meant to take your power from you, Violet. It is my job as your mate to protect you." Eli said, still looking down at his hands.

"Your protection has to be balanced by my ability. I will not apologize for being right. I will, however, apologize if I hurt your feelings." Violet said looking at her mate intently she did not want to hurt him ever but what he did was wrong.

"You didn't hurt my feelings." He looked up at her and stared directly into her eyes. "You have never used your Alpha command on me before. It was hard on me because you may not know this but I like to be in charge. Also, it was kind of a turn on." Eli's blue eyes darkened slightly. He licked his lip and walked towards Violet. Wrapping her up in his arms just so he could be close to her.

"I am still angry. You have to start treating me as your Alpha, not just your mate. Your male ego can't get in the way." Violet tried to pull away but he wouldn't let go.

"Kiss me, Alpha" Eli asked with need in his voice.

"Are you commanding your Alpha?" Violet's voice said playfully. She shoved him "I answer only to myself." She then turned away only to be pulled back and kissed hard by Eli.

She pulled away breathlessly “Do you have a little time for your mate today?” Eli asked, pulling her impossibly closer to her body.

She could feel the need in him and the length of him growing. “I might have some time” her voice was like melting butter.He kissed her marking spot while his hands roamed over her skin and skimmed the hem of her blouse. His thumbs rubbed circles on the bare skin he found. She moaned as he picked her up and placed her on her desk and spread her legs. She pulled him in for a kiss as he started to pull up her skirt. You're killing me Eli.

You haven’t seen anything yet. He linked back as he started kissing down her neck. I want you so badly Princess. I have been trying to give you time but my wolf and I are restless. He puts his lips on her collarbone then kneels down.

Stop giving me time then. He looked up at her “you mean it? Are you ready to finish the mating bond?”

She took a deep breath and was ready to answer when a knock came at the door.
