Spare Me Alpha but I want your Beta Chapter 14

Alexa's POV

I felt like someone had poured sand down my throat. Slowly opening my eyes, I found myself in an unfamiliar room. It was massive with grey walls, the crown bordered with stainless steel lighting fixtures, and a king-size bed on which I was currently lying with dark blue silk sheets. The room was very masculine. The smell from the sheets enveloped me in a familiar scent, and I suddenly realized that I was in Nate's room. My body heated up instantly. Then I felt someone near me; I turned over to find my sister sleeping beside me, her eyes swollen and her cheeks stained with dried tears. I ran my hand down the side of her face. She opened her eyes immediately. "Lex! Thank god you're okay," she wrapped me into a hug. I pulled her closer, squeezing her tight.

"I'm fine, Lia," I whispered. My voice was a little horse.

"Let me get you something to drink," she got up and went into what I presumed was the bathroom. She came out with a glass of water. I took it from her and drank the glass of water with desperation. Mmm I closed my eyes as I savored the coolness down my throat.

"So, I take it that you're wondering where you are," Lia said.

"We could be one of two places-- Nate's, or a hospital, and I highly doubt it's the second. So what happened?" I asked, sitting up. I noticed that I was in a blood stained t-shirt and no underwear. My face heated. Who covered me?

"Well, I shifted, which was the worst experience ever. Up until Mason showed up, it was less painful. Then at one point, I didn't remember what was going on around me because my one and only, my other half, the love of my life, tried to kill my sister, and almost succeeded. If Nate hadn't shown up, I don't know what would have happened," she cried. "I won't forgive him for what he did, Lex. I don't think I can," she whispered. I wiped her tears away.

"Dahlia, let me tell you what happens when a male wolf acts when he feels that his mate is in danger. Mason did what his instincts told him. He went into protective mode. Everything around him vanished; it was only you he feared for. So when he found me in wolf form near you, he thought I was going to harm his mate. It could have been anyone, Lia. Don't be so hard on him. He loves you very much, and I'm sure he is hurting ten times worse because his mate doesn't want him around. So if I can forgive him, even you can, baby girl," I said, bumping her shoulder. She smiled.

"Thank you, Lex. I don't know what I’d do without you."

"How about you help me out of this nasty tee while so I can take a quick shower? The smell of blood is making me sick," I scrunch my nose, she laughed.

"We don't have our things yet, but we can just see what Nate has that you could use."

"Dahlia, I'm not going through his things," I stated with my arms crossed over my chest. She groaned.

"Fine. I'll do it," she said and ran to his dresser, pulling out a pair of boxer briefs. She held them up to herself and mouthed, 'oh my god.' I had to say, Nate was a big guy. She grabbed another tee from the drawer and headed towards me, shoving me towards the bathroom. Soon I was in the shower-and good heavens, the man had a huge massive marbled shower. There were so many shower heads pointing in different directions. I looked at Dahlia, who didn't seem to be impressed at all.

"Mason has a shower like this, and it fits two people." she gasped, and covered her mouth with her hands. I shook my head, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Girl, I don't wanna know," I said to her. She turned as red as a tomato and flashed a sheepish smile.

"I'll wait outside," she said, rushing out of the bathroom.

I turned the shower on, anxious to get in. It was wonderful all different angled jets of water hitting my tense muscles were just what I needed. I grabbed the body wash-- it was Nate's old spice wash, and it smelled just like him. My core muscles tightened. I couldn't help but get aroused.

'He cares for us very much. He made sure we were safe. He is good for us,' my wolf whispered in my head. 'I know,' was all I said.

I turned off the shower, wrapping a giant towel around myself twice! My goodness, everything in this house was huge. I looked around for the t-shirt and boxers. I must have left them out on the bed. 'Lia, can you bring me my clothes?' I mind linked her.

'That's never going to get old,' she said, walking into the bathroom. "Can I talk to Mason like that?" She questioned, sitting on the vanity. "You have to be mated first, or a part of their pack." She smiled. I rolled my eyes; my baby sister was having sex. God, I was such a hermit. I could barely control myself around Nate. It was crazy what he did to me.

"So, are you going to forgive Mason?"

"Yeah, I think I should; I was pretty harsh on him," she whispered.

I took some mouthwash and rinsed my mouth. Which I probably shouldn't have, it burnt like hell. We walked out of the bathroom, and as we did, I saw Nate standing in the room with a stack of boxes. Our eyes locked, and a little shiver traveled down my spine. It was then that I realized how much I'd missed him, though it would only have been a few hours since I consciously saw him. I smiled at him as he set the boxes on the floor. Seeing the two of us, Dahlia cleared her throat. "I'll leave you two alone. I have some unpacking to do, and Lex, you need some rest." She wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug, and I embraced her back. Then she looked up at Nate, giving him a meaningful glance, and he flushed.

She turned, and said, "Thank you for saving her, Nate." The emotion in her eyes was unmistakable. I could see he cared for my sister, and watched her go. As soon as she was gone, Nate came to me and gathered me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him back, feeling content and grateful and much better than I had in the last few minutes. He laid his head on mine, breathing me in. I closed my eyes, enjoying his comfort.

"You scared me back there," he whispered.

"I know. I scared myself, too," I whispered, feeling my throat go dry again.

"Don't speak. I've got some medicine the doctor left for your throat."

"I'm okay, Nate. It's a little painful, but I can tolerate it." I looked up at him, meaning to assure him, but my eyes went to his lips. I wanted to kiss him, run my tongue along his lips.

"Humor me, Alexa," he said, and released me to get my medicine. He poured it out for me, and I had no choice but to listen. He was so concerned, so worried about me. No one had taken care of me before. I had been the one to take charge and raise my sister all these years. No one had been there for me. But now it felt like someone was there he was, and has been since we met. The way he stood protectively before me even now making sure I drank this medicine. The emotions running through me I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

When I'd washed down the medicine with some water, I looked at him and saw the thoughtful gaze he was giving me. Somewhere in the depths of his eyes, lustful desire. In that moment, I knew exactly what I wanted.

I kissed him, and he pulled me closer his patience had run thin. Like he'd been waiting for me to do exactly this. His response to my kiss was flattering; he kissed me back hungrily. He lifted me off the ground, carrying me bridal-style to the bed, and supported himself over me, and we kissed again with more fire and urge. He pulled back catching his breath.

"You've just recovered from shock," he mumbled. "I should let you rest."

His lips moved down my jaw to my neck, feathering kisses down my skin, and I shivered. "I've had all the rest I needed," I whispered back. "Right now, I can't think of anything but you, Nate."

He groaned, sneaking his hands under my t-shirt, exploring the curves underneath, lighting a fire in my body that I'd never felt before. No man had ever touched me like this. All these sensations that he was giving me were buried deep, I wanted him, craved him. I had no idea what was ahead, but in that moment, I knew I was ready to lose myself in a man-I was ready to let Nate be the first one to take me.

"Oh Nate, I need you," I moaned, my fingers tugging at his hair. He looked at me then, his eyes showing love and lust.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" He asked in an intense voice. It meant more to him than I could ever imagine, and I could feel it.

"Yes. I want you," I whispered. What he did then, I will never forget. His eyes darkened, and he ripped the t-shirt straight down the middle, tearing it off my body, making me gasp. For a long moment, his eyes lingered on mine, and I almost died from his hot gaze. Then he lowered his head, kissing his way down my collar bones, down between my breasts. My eyes fluttered close, and burning hot desire came over me. His hand cupped my breast, massaging gently, his thumb brushing over the pebbled tip of my nipple. I groaned, tightening my fingers in his hair as teased me, until his mouth replaced his hand, and I was suddenly hot warmth lathered my nipples, he gently sucked and tugged them with his mouth, oh it felt so good I could feel me tighten down below.

"Oh, Nate!" I whimpered, and trembles shocked my body. My core muscles tightened in anticipation, waiting for the moment when I'd feel every glorious inch of him inside me. He lavished attention on my breasts, repeating the procedure with the other nipple, before he moved up and claimed my mouth with his. Our mouths fused, our tongues clashed. I felt his growing erection against my skin, and an unconscious moan escaped my lips. I hoped my sister and Mason couldn't hear us-we were in the middle of something that neither of us wanted to stop. I pulled him by his hair, bringing his lips once again to mine and kissing him hungrily. His fingers sneaked down to the waistband of my boxers, sneaking underneath to touch me, but not where I wanted him to touch me. He was teasing me! it was killing me... I needed him. His lips curved slightly against my skin, and I oh he was enjoying this. "Nate," I whispered, "Oh, please. You're killing me."

"Am I?" he whispered back, slowly beginning to lower the boxers. I held my breath, and my heart almost stopped beating.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. For a moment, the two of us went completely still. Nate broke the kiss as he laid his forehead on mine, catching his breath. I heard another knock. Nate's eyes were as black as a raven, and we were both panting. Who the hell was at the door? Who just ruined my day of reckoning!

"I'll be right back," he said through gritted teeth, and his fingers disappeared. I nodded, biting back the frustrated groan I was holding, while he covered me with the sheet and walked to the door. He yanked it open so hard I thought it would come off the hinges. I felt sorry for whoever was on the other side of that door-- almost.

"WHAT!?" He growled.

"Sorry Nate, but there's a problem at the pack house, and they need you there." I heard Mason, poor guy is not having a good day.

"Nate, don't kill the messenger!" I giggled, his eyes narrowed at me. Then he looked back at Mason.

"Where's Julian?"

"He had a meeting somewhere, I don't know. But since you're Beta, you have to go," Mason said

"Fine!" He slammed the door on Mason's face. My mouth fell open. "Nathaniel, that was not nice," I yelled as he walked towards me. He laid over me, kissing my shoulder. "Well, he interrupted us," he said, still kissing up my neck. "Yes, he really did," I whispered, closing my eyes. Good god, he was like an addictive drug. "But it wasn't his fault just go see what they need. I'll be here when you get back," I said. He groaned, but got up, giving me one last kiss.

"Get something to eat while I'm gone. You'll need all your energy for tonight," he winked at me, leaving me breathless, then walked out the door. I fell back on the bed, groaning. God, I was so close.

Julian's POV

"Well, brother, it's been a long time." I turned to look at my brother Julius. He was sitting behind his massive oak desk, with two wolf guards on either side of him. I took a seat in front of him.

"Is it really necessary for the entourage, brother?" I questioned him, and his eyes regarded me.

"I trust no one, Julian. You know that. Now, if you have something to say, you can say it here, or leave."

I shook my head at his obstinacy and his unwillingness to let the guards go. Sometimes, my brother did act like a fool. "Tell me, Julius. Did you ever find those pups you had every werewolf possible looking for?" I watched him intently. His body tensed, and he turned to those in the room.

"Leave us!" He growled. Once the guards had filed out, he got up and walked over to his bar and poured himself and me a cup of whiskey. He placed the cup on his desk in front of me.

"So I take it you came up empty on your search," I stated. I knew I was beating around the bush with him, but I didn't care. My brother hated me just as much as I hated him.

"What do you know, Julian?" He asked in a calm, eerie voice. A voice too calm to be trustworthy.

"What I want to know is, what was the reason for the search?"

He laughed at my question. "Julian, I thought you wanted nothing to do with me after you took over for father as Alpha. You didn't want my illegal business tainting your pack. So I honored that, and started my own pack. When I needed someone with computer skills, preferably hacking skills, I came across a man called Alexander Moretti. I gave him an opportunity to come work for me. He refused, of course. So being the kind hearted person that I am, I threatened to kill his family, and of course he changed his mind. I paid him well, but I started noticing missing accounts. I don't like my money being fooled around with, or other people's money they invest in me." I shook my head. My brother was still laundering money from packs around the world.

"So you killed him and his mate?!" I returned, feeling sick to the bone.

"See, that's where you're wrong, Julian. I never got the chance to kill, but one. Those little bastards got away. As for his mate, she was just a bonus for me, so I kept her around," he said calmly.

"So why did the children hold such importance to you?" I asked.

"I promised them to Alpha Dominic as repayment for our lost investment," he stated with a smirk. He was sick. I don't know how we even shared the same blood. "So why stop your search for them?"

"See, it took awhile, but Alpha Dominic lost interested because he found his mate. I have to tell you, those girls were beautiful. They must be stunning now." He sat in wonder. A light knock at the door had my brother sitting up quickly.

"Who is it?" He growled.

"It's Melania, Alpha," a soft voice said from behind the door.

"Come in."

"I am sorry to interrupt, but I need a few things from the market," she stated, her eyes on the floor.

"Brother, if you can stop ogling my lady, I would like you to get on with what you know?" Julius said, ignoring Melania's request and drawing her to him. I narrowed my eyes at him. As I glanced once more at the woman, I felt as if she looked familiar a bit skittish. I looked back at Julius.

"Well, I got word of the two you were looking for," I stated, looking away from Julius to the woman before me. She paled, as though she'd seen a ghost.

"Really? And how did this information come to you, if I might ask?" I noticed a faint metallic smell all of a sudden. Almost as if someone was bleeding. I saw Julius's hand around her waist had tightened. She bawled her hands into tight fists, so tight that her claws were drawing blood. She stayed motionless, but her eyes said everything-- she was here against her will. I turned back to Julius. This was the woman he kept from his trader.

"I assume they must have gotten us mixed up," I stated, unsure if I should reveal what I knew. I looked at the woman again, and she shook her head at me, but not enough for Julius to catch it. "Can I be excused? I have to start on dinner," she said in a shaky voice.

"No! You'll stay until I tell you otherwise," he said in her ear. Something was definitely wrong. I had to come up with a lie to lead him on a wild goose chase for now.

"According to the information I received, they are living as humans in Nevada," I said, a single tear fell down Melania's face.

"That's good to know, brother. That was very clever of them. I wouldn't have suspected them to live on desert lands, with no trees, not even real grass. They must never shift?" He stated in disbelief. "Is that all, brother?" He questioned. I put my poker face on.

"That is all," I said.

"As much as I would love to say it was good seeing you, it wasn't. Now leave me, Julian; I have matters to attend to." I got up, looking over my shoulder. Something inside me was telling me that I really fucked up.

Once I was out his office, I saw his two guards outside the door. As I walked a few steps away, something unexpected happened. I heard screaming and yelling. I listened closely I realized that my brother was hitting the woman he claimed to love. It took all of my will power to walk out of that house, because I knew even if I tried, it would only get me killed. I was only one person. I couldn't take a pack alone. I had my mate and family to worry about. I had to figure out a plan-- I couldn't live life everyday knowing that I'd left her in the hands of my brother.

Alpha Nicholas's POV

I laid in our hotel room, thinking I was finally going to be a father. It was something I'd wanted ever since I'd become Alpha at twenty. Now four years later, Hannah was carrying my first pup. The thought filled me with happiness. We'd tried so hard, wanted this so much. We'd never told anyone that we weren't original mates. I'd marked her as mine, which was the reason she couldn't conceive. After trying again and again, and losing the baby every time, Hannah had been broken as was I. But finally we found a specialty doctor who was also a wolf, who explained to us the procedure of in vitro fertilization. Now we were blessed with happiest of blessings, and I could only be grateful. Beside me, Hannah laid curled against my body, her golden hair spread over the pillow, her dark lashes shadowing her eyes. I smiled. When she woke up, her ocean blue eyes lit up, and happiness swirled inside them. She smiled at me, a soft, contented smile, and I returned it.

"Can you believe it, Nicky? I'm finally going to be a mom," she whispered. "We're having a baby."

I kissed the top of her head.

"I know, babe. This is the start of our family, and I am going to do everything I can to make sure you and our pup stay safe and happy." She smiled, and pulled herself up so that she was straddling me.
