The Cruel Alpha's Mate!

Love And Mysterious Enemy...

"One of the safest places for me when my world is crashing down is inside your arms..."

Mira's pov

"Love?" I hear Liam whispering and I stiffen.

I purr sleepy and move a bit more in his arms without opening my eyes or talking. I feel his hand caressing my back and rub my hand on his chest.

"Come on baby. We will be late."

I open my eyes slowly and lift my head up. 

He is smiling emotional and I giggle ashamed. I am not the most beautiful woman there is when I wake up, I mean I think I am not. He kisses me gently on the lips and I caress his chest and shoulders. I break the kiss and bury my face in his neck.

"I don't want to go. And please don't look at me..." I whisper with complaint.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why don't you want me to look at you?"

"I am a mess and ugly." I say and blush instantly.

He starts laughing loudly the very next second and I sit up annoyed. I stare at him serious for some more time while he is still laughing. I decide to say nothing and my gaze travels all over his body and I smirk wickedly because he is still naked from last night. He doesn't see me looking at him (fortunately), he has his eyes closed and cries from laughters, wraps his hands around his stomach and continues. I narrow my eyes pissed off some time later and punch his chest playfully.

I don't get it!

"Hey! It is not funny. What did I say?"

"You are what? Haha, thanks love. What a nice joke?!" he says through his laughter and I punch him again.

"Liam it is not funny!" I yell and stand up on the bed above him.

He stops immediately when he feels my movement and stares at me with open mouth. He sits up clearing his throat but I push him back on the bed smirking and kneel down again.

"Baby you are gorgeous, I love staring at you all the time." He whispers wickedly and I blush even more.

"This is not changing the fact that you were laughing with me some seconds ago. You are not saving it..." I whisper huskily and bite my lower lip.

I slowly sit on top of him and he moans when my thighs touch his manhood. Alright, we just got in mood again...

"Does this mean that I am going to have a new punishment?" he asks me smirking breathless.

I lean on him and crash my lips on his passionately. We begin kissing hungrily and he places his hands on my butt and rubs it roughly. I moan and he groans when I start moving back and forth rubbing his manhood under me and I break the kiss to move on his neck in order to suck his skin.

"I want t..." he says but stops as someone start knocking the door.

"f**k, don't stop. Forget about it. Whoever it is he can wait!" he growls impatient and pulls me from the neck to kiss him again.

Someone is still knocking the door louder and more imatiently and I try to pull back but he doesn't allow me to. We continue kissing, he is controlling the kiss, I want to break it but he is driving me crazy and places his hands inside my underwear and I groan aroused.

"Man what the... s**t!" James yells breaking into the room with Cassie behind him.

I sit up panicked and he does the same while pulling the covers up on both of us. 

James has a shocked expression and Cassie is staring at us with open mouth, I feel my cheeks getting red from embarrassment and Liam growls annoyed.

"What the hell do you want in my room so early? Who let you get in without permission James? Have you lost your mind?" he screams frustrated and wraps his arms around me.

"I never thought that I would find you like this. Well, well... Did you have a good time lovebirds?" James asks smirking and Cassie giggles next to him wickedly.

"You didn't let us, you interrupted at the best part."

"Liam!" I yell ashamed and he smiles innocently.

" What? I am saying the truth." He says softly and buries his face in my neck kissing me.

"Hey, hey stop it. Not in front of us!" Cassie yells surprised.

"Liam please! Not now!" I beg him and push him a bit back desperate.

"Fine. What do you w..." he says turning his head to them and stops immediately mystified.

"You marked each other?!" he exclaims surprised.

I turn and look at them shocked at first. 

Yes, it is obvious, they marked each other, their marks are visible even from here. Cassie blushes and buries herself in James' arms and he smiles proudly. I hug Liam and we smile to each other excited. 

Our best friends look so happy, I am glad we managed to help them b(well I did but anyway).

"Congratulations guys! We are happy for you, you did the right thing!" I say and Liam nods smiling.

"It is your turn now... Well... You made everything with another queue but who cares?! The point is that you are closer now and you look happy. You mated, yes but you can mark each other as well!" James says smirking.

SHIT! No! That was so wrong! I don't need his mark on my neck again, thank you although!

"Um... We have time in front of us for this... We need time." I tremble nervously trying to save it.

"Mira is right. Nothing is rushing us. We can wait, can't we baby?" Liam asks me softly.

I nod timidly and bury my face in his neck. I like his comprehension. He seems different, caring, sweet and calm and I feel relieved, for now...

"Um... Mira..." Cassie clears her throat awkwardly and my blood freezes.

I lift my head up and turn to her with wary. I know this tone and look and I don't like it, something is wrong.

"We came here looking for you, I needed to see you..."

"What happened? What is wrong? Are Ethan and Angel alright?" I ask panicked and Liam stiffens worried.

"They are fine Mira. They are with your mother and Paul. Oliver called me, we have a problem..." she explains and I exhale frustrated.

I try to move and stand up but Liam holds me tightly on him and caresses my back to help me relax. We are both relieved that our kids are alright but I am worried for my pack now, if Oliver has called then he has a real problem and this is going to be bad.

"The rogues that you caught after the attack that night haven't said a word. They tried to make them talk but in vain. Oliver and your uncle, Luc wanted to inform you. We are still in the dark when it comes to the attack and who is behind it." she continues and I sigh frustrated staring at Liam serious. 

He seems angry and tightens with hold around me and at this point I need to stay alone with him, we need to talk...

"Okay. Thank you Cas. You can go!" I say and she nods.

She turns and leaves the room with James next to her. Once they close the door behind them I turn and look at Liam in the eyes smiling softly. His eyes' light blue color is melting my heart, when he is smiling they are shining even more. I caress his cheek and then peck his lips admiring him. 

He seems worried but enjoys my affection.

"I have to go. They need me!" I say softly and he faints.

"I can come with you if you want. I can help you with them. It is not safe for a woman to get so close with prisoners and rogues." He complains in desperation and tries to continue but I stop him by placing my finger on his lips.

"Liam, it is fine. I can do this, I am well trained, I am used to these things. I will be back soon."

"I want you to be safe." He whispers worried, I smile warmly and give him a soft kiss on the lips.

"I know and I appreciate everything you want to do for me but you don't need to be worried. I have lived worse than these things." I reply while caressing his cheek and he sighs heavily.

"I know that something is bothering you, you are thinking about something or someone. I can't live feeling you might be in danger anymore." he whispers and tightens his hold around me.

"I can deal with it, don't worry."

"Who is going to come with you?" he asks me and caresses my neck gently.

"Who do you want me to take with me? My dad?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

He smiles and nods quickly as a response while I giggle and peck his lips again.

"It's a deal. Stay here with our kids and the others, okay?" I ask and he opens his eyes widely looking ready to cry.

"What is wrong? What did I say?" I ask him confused from his reaction and stiffen.

"You said 'our' kids. Thank you!" he whispers smiling and pulls me on him for one more kiss.

"I will be here waiting for you. I will take care of them, take care of yourself for me please." He begs me with tears blurring his vision and I nod shyly.

"I will leave Cas here to train the men with Cilia. Will you help her if she needs anything or..." I say and pause ashamed.

Why did I start it? 

I am jealous and I want him away from the sluts that are flirting him but I don't want to show it more than I have already done. 

He narrows his eyes suspicious after some seconds reading my expression and I lower my head avoiding his gaze. He lifts my head up with his fingers and looks at me in the eyes in acknowledge.

"You are thinking about other women, aren't you?" He says smirking and I bury my face in my hands embarrassed.

He takes my hands away from my face quickly and smiles pulling me on the bed with him landing on top of me.

"I want only you! They have no chance in front of you and my love for you baby. I will do the same thing we did yesterday and I will have Cilia as my partner. My mind will be always on you!" he says in a husky tone and starts leaving long, hot, wet kisses on my neck.

"Fair enough! Be a good boy if you don't want me to punish you when I come back." I whisper and he giggles.

"I want the punishment you were going to give me before James and Cassie interrupt us." He murmurs devilishly and I laugh loudly.

He is cute...

~some hours later, Mira's pack~

I reached my pack some minutes ago with my father and now we are heading to the dungeons with him, Oliver, my uncle and Max. 

The three rogues said nothing till now and I am pissed off. I need to find the one behind the attack, I need to prevent anything like this in the future and most importantly I need this person dead.

No one messes with my pack!

"Did you do anything to them?" I ask Oliver curious.

"No, I wanted you to take this decision." He says immediately.

"Good."

We reach outside their cell and I sign the guard to open the door. He unlocks the door quickly, opens it for me to pass and bows. 

I get in immediately with my father, Oliver, Max and my uncle right behind me and then stop and stand two meters away from them. 

They are chained on the wall in front of me with her heads bended and once the others behind me takes their places on my right and left Oliver growls annoyed.

"The Alpha is here. She needs answers. It is time to tell us whatever you know!" He tells them through his teeth doing his best to control his anger and I narrow my eyes observing them.

Almost immediately the one in the middle lifts up his head and stares at me smirking wickedly. My father growls warningly and takes one step to him but I stop him by walking and placing my hand in front of him.

"They might were patient but I am not. If you don't want to suffer tell me what I want and I will be generous." I say through my teeth trying to hold Moira under my control.

The other two rogues lift up their heads and look at me with hope but the one in the middle laughs sarcastically and challenges my patience. 

Do you know what? It's official, he is going to suffer!

I walk to him and punch him on the face with power, I catch him off guard, he lets out a loud scream and his nose starts bleeding.

"Tell me!" I scream shaking losing no time.

"I will but in one condition. We will stay alone with you. I will talk only to you!" He says smirking again and I growl.

"Leave us." I order harshly at once.

"But Mira..." my father begins to protest.

"Leave now!" I yell ready to lose control with my eyes locked on the rogue in front of me.

They sigh frustrated and after some seconds waiting for me if I change my mind they get out of the cell and I stay alone with the three rogues.

Nice!

"START!" I order.

"The one who ordered us attack your pack hates you." The one in the middle says quickly.

"Why? Who is he?"

"I don't know the exact reason. The only thing he told me when I asked him why he hates you that much was that you destroyed his life and he wants revenge."

I blink my eyes surprised in the end and narrow my eyes thoughtfully, I have no idea what he is talking about. I did nothing bad to anyone. I can't think about any person that can seriously mean I destroyed his life.

That was a huge surprise...

"Who is he?" I ask next.

"I don't know his real name, his nickname is 'nightmare' or 'shadow'."

Nothing useful, I know nobody!

"How does he look like?" I ask running out of patience.

"I never saw his face. He was always wearing a mask. The only thing I could distinguish on him was his eyes' color. Their color is weird, light brown, sometimes it seems like orange and he is tall. These are what I know for sure."

"Where is he?" I continue shortly.

"I don't know. He is transporting his men very often and he never reveals his next shelter to anyone. I don't know his previous location either, he is a mysterious man." he replies in hurry and I sigh heavily.

"What is your relationship with him?"

"He pays me to make his wishes. I was a rogue and he found me some months ago. From that moment I am working occasionally for him."

"What else have you done for him?" I ask taking one step closer to him and he smirks making me groan frustrated.

"I found slaves and servants for him. I helped him build his army."

"How?" I scream grabbing his neck.

"I was kidnapping teenage or young female werewolves and then he was blackmailing their mates or families, he was tricking them and he was forcing them to obey him. Like these two..." he murmurs stuggling to breathe.

I look at the other two rogues discreetly and see the pain in their eyes but then I look at the one I am holding again and he smirks devilishly.

"I feel sorry for you, you know... You are too hot and pretty to suffer and die... If I was him I would have taken you for my personal s*x slave, your mate is a lucky bastard. Do you have one? Does he f**k you well?" he whispers and looks at me with a sick expression.

My blood is boiling so much and all I see is red!

That was it!

"I had enough of you!" I scream and snap his neck immediately shaking uncontrollably

I let him stay dead but still chained on the wall the next moment and I start walk up and down the cell growling furiously.

"Everything makes sense..." Moira groans angry and I nod in agreement.

"Is everything he said true? Was he really blackmailing you and forced you to attack my pack?" I ask the other two turning to them.

"It is true Alpha. He kidnapped my mate and our 3 years old daughter and also his little sister." He says the one on the right and points the other one on the left in the end.

"Your names!"

"I am Travis and he is Lark." The same man replies and I nod thoughtfully.

"Do you know anything else he didn't tell me?" I ask and walk closer to him.

"Yes, we know something more. The one with whom we found you fighting in the forest was him, the scent was the same. At first we weren't sure but the one you killed just now assured us last night. He threatened us not to tell you. We don't know how he appeared in front of you that night. We didn't know he would be there." He explains and I sigh in frustration.

I f*****g knew that something was so wrong. 

What the hell was that back there? 

Moira is murmuring something I can't understand and I can feel her wary, not that I am in a better condition!

"Okay, if you think or remember anything else inform my men immediately. I won't harm you, I understand your reasons to attack my pack. You will stay here, we will take care of you but I can't free you. You will have anything you need and I will try to find the one who is behind everything and save your relatives." I say and mind link my father and the others to come.

They get in some seconds later and stare at the dead body of that sick man in the middle shocked yet concerned. They look at me next and I can see the query in their eyes.

"Unchain them and take the dead body. I want them to take a bath, get them clean clothes, food, beds, blankets and everything else they ask. Take care of them and don't hurt them. They are victims of our secret enemy. Am I clear?" I ask turning to my cousins and uncle.

"Yes cousin! As you wish." Oliver assures me quickly and the rest nod.

"Thank you Alpha. We will always be grateful to you." The one on the left tells me with tears falling from his eyes making my heart ache in pain.

Thanking me is useless if I don't find their relatives and I don't kill that bastard but I give them a weak smile and leave the cell quickly with my father right behind me.

"What did they say?" he asks me worried.

"I will tell you while we will be driving back to the palace." I tell him serious and he nods confused.

One thing is for sure...

That man is dead the second I meet him again!

~some more hours later, palace~

I am sitting in my room at the palace. 

I reached back here about two hours ago and locked myself in the room. 

Liam took Ethan and Angel with Cassie, James, Paul, Cilia, Dom, Colton and Ralf, Cassie's brother out to have some fun. He didn't know that I would be back so soon and I am glad for it. 

I need time alone, I am thinking all the time about what the three rogues told me and most importandly about what happened that night. 

I am getting crazy! The more I think the more I get confused!

I hear a knock on the door and get up slowly, walk to it and open it to find my father, Ryan standing in front of me serious and troubled.

"Come in father. I need to talk to someone and you are the only one I can trust so much." I whisper and he smiles warmly.

He gets in, locks the door, wraps one arm around me and we walk back to my bed. Once we sit down I turn and give him a weak smile.

I am glad he came!

"Tell your old man what is wrong honey. What is keeping you so busy?" he asks first reading my weird expression.

"Dad, that night in the forest I fought with another wolf before the rogues reach me." I start and he stares at me confused and thoughtful.

"He might be another rogue." He tells me after thinking about it for a while.

"No, he was the one who ordered the rogues to attack the pack. The prisoners assured me."

"Jacob didn't mention this. He told us everything you told him except from this.

"Yes because I didn't tell him this. You are the only one that will know, promise me." I ask him anxious and he blinks his eyes surprised.

He pulls me in his embrace after a while and caresses my back like the way he had been doing when I was a little girl and I was running to him scared of something.

Thanks God I have him again! I had missed him like crazy!

"I won't. Thank you for trusting me baby. Do you want to tell me more? Maybe I can help you." he whispers, I nod quickly and take a deep breath.

"That night, when I reached the place I would be waiting for the rogues a big black wolf appeared out of nowhere from behind a tree and attacked me. We were fighting for some time, I was ready to kill him when the other rogues appeared and he left. He disappeared inside the forest and left no scent behind him." I explain troubled and he shakes his head nervous.

"I don't understand what makes you so worried baby girl." He tells me still confused.

"Dad the thing is that I felt no danger, Moira didn't feel any threat. It was like there was no one out there, like I was alone. I felt no presence of any other creature at all." I whisper shaking worried.

He stares at me with an open mouth and gradually turns pale. He pulls me again in his arms and sighs frustrated. 

He understands what I mean now and what makes me so worried and confused. 

This was not normal! 

Under logical circumstances Moira would have felt the threat of his wolf's presence.

"I am glad you are alright! Thanks Goddess! Be careful Mira, be extremely careful baby. I will try to think about something, I will do whatever I can to help you." he whispers with trembling voice and I smile emotional.

"I know dad. Thank you and please don't tell no one! They will freak out and I don't want to have them stuck on me. They will pressure me and I can't deal with it right now." I explain and he nods in understanding smiling.

"I know baby girl. How are things going with Liam? I see you calmer. He is treating you right!"

"Yes, he is different. I feel better but I still need time in order to trust him completely. He loves our kids and is very sweet and caring with me. He respects me, he shows understanding. I feel safe with him but you know me... I need proofs!" I say and he nods firmly.

"Are you thinking about telling the kids about him?" he asks next and I bite my lower lip nervously

I think about it for a while and realize that his question has a point, maybe we have to tell them but I am not sure yet...

"Maybe. Now that you are mentioning it I feel good with the whole idea. I will think about it more seriously. He is doing great with them and they loved him." I murmur and he taps my knee gently.

"Good baby! Whatever you need I am here for you. I love you very much!!" he tells me and I smile touched.

"I love you too father and I missed you all these years. Thanks Goddess I have you!"

~some hours later, night~

Liam's pov

We get in the living room with Angel sleeping in my arms, Ethan in Paul's and the others behind us. 

We went for shopping at the mall at the closest city and after this we went for dinner and we saw a movie at the cinema. Both of them fell asleep during our drive back here and we decided not to wake them up.

"Shh..." I whisper to April and Zoey who are sitting in the living room and get up once I get in.

"Mira is back. Maybe you would like to go." April whispers and I nod smiling.

"Give Angel to me. She will sleep with me and Jacob. Ethan will sleep with Zoey and Ryan." She tells me softly and I hand her Angel carefully not to wake her up and kiss the top of her head.

I turn and see Paul and the others getting in. I walk to Paul and give a soft kiss to Ethan's forehead, Paul gives me a small smile and I leave quickly for Mira's room. 

Phobos is howling happy that our mate is back so soon and I have the biggest smile on my face, I missed her very much! 

I reach her door and knock quickly yet impatiently. 

After some seconds the door opens and I see Mira standing in front of me smiling wearing a midi cream nightdress.

"Hey!" she whispers shyly and blushes.

"Hey!" I say, walk to her and close the door behind me.

I wrap my arms around her and she places her hands on my chest. I lean and give her a long slow kiss on the lips and she moans lowly. We break the kiss after a while and she walks to the bed pulling me with her. She stops once she reaches it and starts undressing me.

"Are Ethan and Angel alright?" she asks me continuing taking off my clothes.

"Yes, they fell asleep in the car. We didn't wake them up, they will sleep with your parents. Are you okay? How did the interrogation go?" I ask her worried.

"It was alright." She replies and leaves me only with my boxers.

"I want to sleep in your arms again tonight." She whispers without giving me time to say or do a thing and I pull her on the bed slowly yet gently.

"Your wish is my command love." I whisper and kiss her with passion.

I need it too...

**********************

Hello my friends!

This is the 11th chapter after some days of delay and I am sorry but I had lots of things to do (and chapter to write as two of my books are ending and I wanted to be in the sedule I had made from the beginning)!

Now I am back and the chapter was quite different from the others!

So what do you think of this chapter? Did you like Laim's behavior? What about this man that hates Mira? Did she really do something to him? Who can it be? Is Mira right for not telling the whole truth about him?

Also what is going to happen next now? 

Also if you liked this chapter and you want more please write me a comment and tell me your opinion or even share the story! 

This is for now! See you again in the next chapter or in one of my other books (wait for Alpha's Abused Mate tomorrow, His Rejected Queen on Tuesday and Mates and Enemies on Wednesday) or even this one if you want another chapter so much! Until next time have fun, be safe and smile!

Love you all,

                             Marie!
