DAWSON’S POV.
I ran my fingers through her Golden hair, my lips pinned together firmly. She had spent the night in my room too. I let her hair slip through my fingers as I remembered the last time we had done this in the laundry room.
“ Mate!.” My Wolf had screamed out loud when he had saw the other Omega. I had my cock stuck in one and mated to another. That I found very hard to believe but I knew that it didn’t happen that often.
Never have I thought that I would be mated to an Omega, more or less one who would see me in such a weird circumstance.
“ What are you thinking about?.” Her soft feminine voice cut through my thoughts and I tilted my head sideways to look at her.
“ Nothing.” I responded. I wasn’t ready to tell her that Carla was my mate because I didn’t know how she would react.
“ You don’t have to worry about her. I took care of her yesterday.” She said proudly.
“ What do you mean by that?.” I asked and watched her laugh.
“ Nothing serious. I just gave her an earful.” She responded with a smile plastered on her face.
“ Who asked you to do such?.” I roared at her. My blood boiling.
Thoughts of what she had said to Carla and how Carla must be feeling now ran through my mind.
What was she to think? What if she had thought that I had sent Joyce to do so?.
I thought getting pissed and angry.-
“ Why? Did I do something wrong?.” She asked, her eyes glued to me.
“ Huh!. Since when did you get to question me?.” I asked, my brows raised. I was disgusted by the effrontery she had to do things without be told.
“ I just thought that…”
“ Don’t think. I’m the Alpha here and you are nothing but an Omega, a useless commoner.” I said harshly. My anger fueled like a petrol added to fire.
She wasn’t allowed to think or have her own personal thoughts. I was the only one allowed to do the thinking and that was it.
“ I’m sorry Master. I shouldn’t have done that.” Joyce pleaded, sitting upright.
“ Don’t make me despise you!.” I roared, my teeth clenched together.
I squeezed my eyes shut and exhaled deeply as I tried to let go of this anger, not wanting to melt it out on her.
“ I’m sorry Master. I will never repeat such.” She pleaded. Tears running down her cheek.
“ Leave!.” I ordered. I wasn’t ready to listen to her or talk to anyone. I just wanted to be alone.
“ Mas….”
“ Leave! Now!.” I yelled and watched her jump out of bed to hurriedly pick up her clothes, putting them on.
I watched her back as she walked out of the room. I heaved out a sigh and pulled the duvet over my head, letting it consume me.
Why her? Has the moon goddess decided to finally bless me and mate me to the love of my life? The wolf I had loved for years, for so many years.
I paused to listen to the sound emanating from the door. The knock sounded again and I groaned.
“ What?.” I groaned loudly and pulled the duvet off my face. “ Come in!.” I added.
.The door opened again to reveal Eric walking in.
“ What do you want?.” I asked coldly. I don’t remember asking that my Beta be called nor did I ask him to come over this morning to wake me up.
I watched him bow his head a little to look at the floor.
“ I’m sorry for coming here to disturb your peace, Alpha but the Elders are here to see you.” He informed and I immediately let out a groan.
Not the Elders. Those scary looking Wolves with their sharp prying eyes like that of an eagle. I hated them but I knew I had to endure them all till I became a King, till my coronation day. When I finally get into power then I would do things my way.
“ Not them!.” I groaned. “ Tell them I’m away.” I ordered.
“ I’m afraid I can’t, Master. They are aware of your presence.” He replied.
I groaned again.
All I wanted was to stay in bed and sleep.
I thought of it for a while before pushing the duvet off my half naked body since I was only dressed in a Blue boxer and stepping out of bed.
“ Okay then.” I mumbled and marched towards the bathroom.
I twisted the shower handle and let the very cold water run down my body.
Soon I was ready and marching towards the meeting room. I waited till the head of the omegas announced of my presence and watched the gate pushed open before walking into it.
“ Good day, Elders.” I said to the five elderly wolves sitting on the chairs in a bid to greet them. “ I hope you had a lovely journey on your way here.” I added. It wasn’t that I cared. Nope, I didn’t care of anyone apart from myself but then this was a thing I had been groomed to do from the start.
They were all dressed in their Wine and Black robes.
“ If you want to stay in power then you need to respect your members.” My late Father used to say.
Although it made me wonder why any of them mattered if I had the upper hand and power. It made me come to a conclusion that my late Father was too soft of a King and he cared too much. I knew I was going to be nothing like him.
“ The people are complaining.” Elder Dan said, seconds after I settled in the gigantic seat.
My seat was made different from theirs both in color and height.
“ And reason be?.” I asked. I didn’t care about what any of them or the people wanted. I was on the upper food chain while they dangle at the lower part of it so I had more say.
“ They claim they can not be ruled by an mate less Alpha.” Elder Dan responded.
I groaned softly.
“ Are these their words or yours?.” I scoffed, my eyes glued to him. His Dark hair gelled to the side.
I have heard rumors before then. Rumors that the most of the Elders hated me because they believed that I didn’t deserve the throne. They believed that if my Parents had more harder then maybe they would have been succeeded by another Male.
But who was I to care about what they say?.
After all I was the only one on the upper food chain.
“ That matters not, Alpha Dawson. We both know you need a mate.” Elder Dan responded and I squeezed my right formed fist placed on my right lap, having the urge to and it in their faces.
“ The people needs an Alpha to rule them, a King and it’s my right to sit on the throne. I decide whether or not, I want to have a mate.” I said coldly, my voice void of emotion. Not caring about the gazes that were been sent to me by the other Elders.
“ But your late Father, the Alpha had one before he got on the throne and…”
“ I’m not my Father!.” I roared loudly, my breathing pace increasing and my blood boiling.
I just couldn’t handle it again. I couldn’t handle being compared to him every single time. I couldn’t cope with the people mourning him everyday as though I never existed. I couldn’t handle their say that he was a better king than I will ever be. I just couldn’t do it.
For so long I had tried so hard just to be like him but not anymore. I wanted to be me now. I wanted to live as myself.
“ But it is mandatory that you walk in your Father’s shoes.” Elder Henry interfered, his voice so calm and controlled.
“ Well I have my own shoes and mine are better.” I snapped.
“ Alpha Dawson, I am afraid you still have to rethink on all that. The people complains of your promisc…..they complain of you being seen with various she-wolves and….”
“ Do they need a saint or a King?.” I roared angrily. “ My lifestyle has nothing to do with any of you or them. In case you have forgotten, it is by right that I become the next Alpha to sit on that throne and there is nothing anyone of you can do about that.” I add, my eyes moving from one to the other.
“ We have no idea of stopping you, Alpha. We just thought it would be best of you to do as the people wish.” Elder Ryan chirped in.
I dragged in a shaky breathe and ran my fingers through my hair.
“ The people! The people! The people! Is all you all ever talk about. Well whether the people want or not, I will be king and absolutely nothing can be done of it.” I roared then clenched my teeth.
I was done with their talks. I knew that my Father had taught me to respect my followers but I wasn’t easy to respect those who didn’t want to respect me too.
Elder Fred stood up. He was the tallest of them all.
“ We, the elders would love to know if the Alpha has met his mate yet.” He said.
I squirted my eyes to stare at him. My thoughts running back to her. The Omega that was my mate.
“ No. No mate yet.” I lied.
I still couldn’t get it off my mind that the she-wolf I had loved for so many years was finally mated to me but then she had caught me in a very awkward situation. Never did I think that I would be mated to her.
But would she ever love me back?.
That I doubted because of the hate she used to have for me.
Why? Why would I admit to this then?.
I thought.
“ Then we need to find you one. One fit to be a Luna.” Elder Ryan said.
“ Maybe the Alpha has one in mind.” Elder Fred replied.
“ Maybe we could bring some over.” Elder Tony chirped in.
“ Or we could…
“ I have something else to attend to now so I will leave you guys to talk.” I cut in and stood on my feet then stormed out of the room.
