Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 15

CAHIR

“It’s- It’s just –“ She looked everywhere around the room but not at me.

“You are scaring her!” Perseus growled at me but eded answers and if I had to scare them out of her, then so be it. “Don’t be ridiculous! We just met her! Of course, of course there have been other men – other men who have admired her beauty.” My wolf tried to sound level headed but even he could not stomach the thought of another man looking at what belonged to us, looking long enough to make comments about her body.

“It is that fool Kade?” I asked the little wolf trapped in my thighs struggling to get away from me. On instinct, my grip on her tightened as she tried to pull away. She was mine! How dare her try to escape me!? I saw red for a minute and had to breathe though my nose.

Fuck, I was already losing my mind. Again.

“Did you date him?” I asked, forcing my words to be calm despite the haze of red clouding my vision and the itch to wring a bastard’s neck.

“Eww, no.” She wrinkled her nose. The gesture almost made me smile but I caught myself, almost startled.

What was it about this woman who I had not known a day? How could she be messing with my senses in such a way already? I was not a man to smile because the world never gave me any reason to smile but looking at her do something as simple as look irritated made something inside of me sing.

The year I became the Alpha of the Alpha Blood pack, a woman had the audacity to put a spell on me. It lasted all of one hour before the love potion cleared and I ended her on the bed she made to

seduce me on. The euphoric feeling, as if gliding on a cloud, which I felt then from the effects of the love potion was the same as what I felt when I put my lips on Sihana. If I didn’t know better, I would assume a love potion was at work again.

“You have to know though, Kade is my first mate,” the little wolf in my arm said, her voice grave. “He rejected me and I accepted his rejection immediately so there’s nothing to worry about,” she assured me, looking up at me from beneath thick and dark lashes. That shy gaze sent a bolt of lust straight to my already half-erect member.

“That bastard! How dare he reject someone so perfect?” Perseus hissed. I almost laughed at my wolf. He was always calm, quiet and calculating, but one look at this girl and all his calmness jumped out the window.

“Would you prefer he mated with her?” I asked the mutt who went quiet.

Thinking of the pain that bastard put my mate through had me baring my teeth, wanting to clamp them over his stupid throat and be done with him and his useless pack. Silver Moon pack was old and powerful but their existence paled in comparison to Alpha Blood. Aristo advised I stayed in good terms with them but a part of me wanted to throw caution to the wind, to push them how they have pushed my mate and see if they could withstand the heat.

I wanted their Alpha’s blood coating my palm. I wanted to bathe in it. I wanted to see the light die from his arrogant eyes. There were a lot of things I wanted to but mostly, I wanted to see that man suffer. He had a lot of audacity standing between me and my mate and he needed to see why they called me the ruthless alpha. I would have it no other way.

“How many men have you been with?” I asked my little mate.

“What –“ Her eyes widened and her cheeks reddened. “That - That’s not a polite question.” She looked away from me which was something I could not tolerate. I gripped her chin and forced her

eyes back on me.

“You are only allowed to look at me,” I said in a quiet voice that did not betray my rising temper. “Now, answer my question.”

Suddenly, my whole being was invested in the answer she was holding back. How many men would I have to hunt down? How many men had touched what was mine? I wanted to snarl. I snarled. Her breasts were still out, distracting me with their rise and fall as she breathed.

“N – None.” She couldn’t look me in the face. I loathed how my anger died down in a split second from her words. No one was supposed to have this much control over me. No one.

“Stay here and sleep.” I set her aside and walked out of the room without turning back. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

What the fuck was wrong with me? Yes, my mate had the nicest body on any woman I had ever seen. I preferred my women tall but she was at most five foot five inches. I preferred my women bold and with a bit of an attitude but this one was timid. It made no sense that when I looked at her, despite her being the exact opposite of what I liked in women, I found her to be perfect. For me, for my wolf, for my pack even.

Goodness gracious!

“Cahir!” I felt a hand on my shoulder. I grabbed the hand, swerved around and brought the person to the floor. “What the fuck?” Aristo wheezed as I planted a boot on his chest. “Get off me!”

“I’ve warned you against putting your hand on me.” I let his hand flop to ground instead of breaking it as I planned to do.

“Geez, you have to let go of your phobia of being touched!” He jumped to his feet, lithe as a cat. “What were you thinking about so deeply? I called you at least ten times.” My Beta grumbled as he dusted his pants.

I ignored him and continued on my way, pushing my hair away from my face as I moved and crossing my arms. He followed behind at a safe distance.

“Why are you so fidgety?” He asked.

“I am having a hard time resisting Sihana.” Aristo may be a talkative brat but he was my Beta and best friend. It was his duty to make sense of the tumult eating me up.

“She’s your mate. Fuck her.” His crude words were not unexpected.

Fucking her wouldn’t be a problem. She would let me burrow deep inside her, she’d be so pliant, so warm - she’d never known another man so she could milk me –

“Perseus might mark her if I do that.” Spreading her legs and burrowing deep into her sex would not be a problem – the problem would be losing control of my wolf and claiming her as mine. Forever.

“That’s exactly what people do with their mated,” Aristo pretended to be dumb.

“I don’t need a mate.” The last thing eded at this point in my life was a woman to tie me down.

“Dude, if you won’t fuck her, I might.” My hands were around his throat before he could blink.

“Say that again,” Perseus growled out.

“Can’t you take a joke?” He fought off my grip on his neck but he was losing colour already.

“Ahem –“ I turned to see a piece of shit glaring at me. “Can I have a word with you, Alpha Cahir?” Alpha Kade was standing a few feet away with a sour expression on his sour face.

“I will find something to eat. I’m starving.” With Kade distracting me, Aristo pried my hand from his throat and ran off, leaving me with this bastard.

“Before you speak to me –“ I forced my voice to be calm, “understand I will slit your throat if you utter one wrong word.”

“As an Alpha –“ He started, widening his stance.

“I am Cahir. Think long and hard about who you are trying to make an enemy of.” His spine straightened.

“Sihana is my –“ He paused. “There may have been a mistake somewhere –“ He started in a subdued voice, crossing and uncrossing his arms.

When he said those words, when he opened his wide mouth to call my mate ‘his,’ I almost lost the reins of control to Perseus. This man, first had stood between me and what belonged to me and now, he dared to claim her in my presence.

“Alpha Kade, I gave you a chance to use your senses but they must be dead. I don’t care about what happened between you two in the past but don’t stand before me and talk nonsense.” I was in his face before he could blink.

“If you –“ He swallowed, “If you knew the kind of slut she is, you would not be trying to claim her with such fierceness.” I broke his nose after those words.

“Kill him,” Perseus spoke in a quiet voice.
