The Omega Princess

3-Thorne POV

"MINE!" The enraged Alpha spat as he tried forcing himself past my large body as I blocked his access to Brooke. Looking back at her, her eyes were wide with fear but she stiffened her lip to hide it. That's my girl!

Stone was raging against my body, his claws raking deeply into my shoulder blades as I held up and moved up the stairs.

"Stay there." I barked at Brooke, not wanting her to get hurt, knowing I may have to snap his neck if he couldn't get himself under control.

"Let me GO. She's mine you mutt!" Heaving his body over the top step and throwing him onto the kitchen floor, I stood, towering over top of mine.

"Actually, Stone, she's mine. Both my wolf and I have accepted her as our mate and we'd appreciate if you backed down seeing as you have no claim to her."

He writhed on the floor, not ready to give up so easily. Watching his eyes flickering towards the knife block, I knew what came next. Just as he reached for the largest knife, I crashed my hand onto his forearms. The satisfying crunch of bone as it snapped beneath my power. His howl was music to my ears as he fell backwards, nursing his broken arms.

I heard a small whimper from the door and saw Brooke standing there clutching her dress as she nervously fiddled with her hands. Confused, I looked at her quizzically. Why was she sympathizing with this asshole? Before I could open my mouth, she ran to the phone.

"Yes, doctor Mel please....immediately...its...the Alpha. He's had an...accident and both his arms are broken. Okay, yes, sounds good. We will see you soon." Hanging up the phone, I could see the conflict raging in her. She wanted desperately to side with me, but the obedience that had been beaten into her wanted her to rush to his side and bring him comfort.

Did I read the whole situation wrong? Was there something going on between them? It couldn't be...she was drawn to me...like a magnet. Even now, she was subconsciously edging closer to me. Watching as her shoulders relaxed the closer she got to me, I knew it couldn't be that he was somehow another mate. So why was she still whimpering?

"Brooke...are you okay?" I asked as she turned to look at me, her eyelashes holding back tears.

Before she could speak, Stone silenced her. "Shut up Brooke, don't talk to that asshole. Stop just standing there and help me up! Whens that damn doctor going to get here?" He seethed through clenched teeth.

Rapidly looking between me and him, I could see her fighting with her wolf. One of them wanted to obey, and the other wanted to stand in defiance. What a contrast this was to the openly rebellious omega I saw in the dining hall!

Just as she was about to step towards him, I held out my arm, my skin brushing the top of her bosom, so short was she in comparison to me. The sparks caused us both to gasp, the previous concern for Alpha Stone vanished as she gazed at me with lust. Her arousal hit me like a ton of bricks. It must have hit Stone too because he was suddenly growling and trying weakly to stand.

"ENOUGH, Brooke! Whatever you think is happening, is not. You are MINE no matter what you think. Remember, it was ME who saved you, not him...this filthy low down LYCAN." His words amused me and intrigued me at the same time, but what was more interesting was how Brooke immediately stiffened at the sound of his voice and lowered her head in submission. The effects of our mate bond disappeared and Stone smiled, growling his approval.

Just let me out so I can kill him. I've had enough. She is mine!

[Ours, Xeros, she is ours, and you know we can't kill him. We haven't finished our interrogation of the attacks, nor have we had a council meeting to decide his fate.]

I don't care. He's messing with our mate! If you accept her as you say you have, it's our duty to honor and protect her, at all costs, or have you forgotten so soon?

Sighing, I ran my hands through my hair. [No, I haven't forgotten. You know as well as I do that I honor the code. I just can't kill him right now, not without knowing what is going on...]

You're an asshole, Thorne.

[So are you, Xeros. Goodbye.]

Pushing him back behind the wall, I surveyed the damage. Somewhere in between my heated debate with Xeros, the doctor had arrived and was struggling to stand Alpha Stone to get him into a seat. I chuckled, which earned me a look of disdain from my mate, but I moved forward to help him into a seat.

Growing increasingly bored with this situation, I took Brooke's hand. "Can we go talk somewhere?"

She bit her lip, allowing her eyes to graze my face before looking down at her feet.

Hooking my finger under her chin, I pulled her face upwards to look at me. "You don't have to keep hiding yourself, Brooke. You are safe with me." Xeros growled. "Us...you're safe with us, I promise."

She nodded and allowed me to lead her down the hall and outside into the courtyard. Stone's omega slaves were watching on curiously, so I found us a relatively quiet and secure spot to sit.

"Do you mind explaining what all that was about?"

She scrunched her face and shook her head, color draining from her cheeks. I watched as Athena tried to push forward but Brooke held her back. Athena definitely wanted to tell me but I could see and smell Brooke's fear. It was going to take a long time to gain her trust. The mate bond was good for initial bonds, but the rest of the work was up to me and Xeros. We had to prove we were worthy of her trust. Of her love.

I sighed and pulled her onto my lap. Not being able to stand being so close to her yet so far away, I wanted to bury my face in those beautiful black waves and breathe in her calming scent.

"Look, Brooke, I understand you're scared and you probably don't understand what's going on between us, but I promise to keep you safe." I must be mad, I never promise anything to anyone and yet I've now promised this woman twice to keep her safe.

Her hazel eyes roamed my face as her fingers found my beard. "Are you going to reject me?"

My heart broke at the sound of her meek voice, so dejected and resigned, as if she had been preparing for my to shatter her soul and rupture her spirit. I couldn't find the words to explain how sacred the mate bond was to me...to Lycans. Unlike wolves, if Lycans broke a bond they never got a second chance mate. That was it. The Moon Goddess granted all Lycans with a perfect other half, designed just for them, to continue the strongest and most pure bloodline. Rejecting your mate is spitting in the Goddess' face and she turns her back on you. Aside from the code, I simply didn't want to give up this beautiful woman in front of me. I didn't care that she was a presumed omega, or that Alpha Stone had somehow convinced her that she belonged to him.

In that moment, Xeros and I decided we would protect her no matter the cost.

I must have waited too long to answer because she snaked her arms around my neck and desperately kissed me, as if to try solidify how she felt about me before I broke her heart.

Grabbing her hips, I rotated her so she was sitting facing me as I ravaged her soft lips with mine. Her fingers traced my face, slowly sliding down my body and finding the hem of my shirt, she traveled upwards, touching my skin. She shivered at the contact as I tried to contain myself. Her simple touch had me rock hard and ready to claim her as my own.

She broke the kiss and looked at me hesitantly, one eye blue, one hazel. Love shone for me, but so did uncertainty. I did the only thing that felt natural in that moment. Snaking my fingers through her lustrous hair, I yanked her hair backwards and licked the spot where I would mark her. The contact sent shivers down her body as she ground her hips into my erect member. A small release of breath was all the confirmation I needed to continue my exploration of her body.

Pulling her off of me, I sat her down on the bench pulling up the skirt of her dress so her plump cheeks were caressing the seat, bare. She gazed at me curiously, wondering what I was going to do next. She looked so innocent and fresh, it took all my strength not to give into the savage yearnings building inside me. Xeros chuckled as he watched her through my eyes.

She really is a delight isn't she?

[Go away, it's my turn to enjoy her]

As you wish.

I pulled down her top, allowing her breasts to tumble out. She wasn't wearing a bra and the sight of her deliciously erect pink n*****s brought out the primal urges. Roughly grabbing a mound, I kneaded her skin as my mouth found her n****e, my tongue flicking the engorged bud as she squirmed on the bench. My free hand roamed up her thigh, stopping when I began to feel the heat coming from her apex. Her whimpers of delight sent me into an internal frenzy. Fighting with Xeros not to take and claim her but rather to entice and enjoy her as we gain her trust.

She must have sensed my struggle, because she arched her back and pulled my hand to her core. My fingers found that she wasn't wearing panties and I groaned with need. Slowly parting her folds, I desperately wanted to see her flower but she was holding my head steady as I kissed and sucked her n****e.

Slipping my fingers around her rose bud, I could feel how wet she was for me. My excitement grew until my pants strained painfully and my breath was shallow. She strained forward, wanting more.

"Tell me what you want."

"I want...." Her eyes lustfully gazed at me as she rotated her hips on my fingers.

"Say it." My voice was husky, hoarse with need and wanting.

"I want you to touch me."

Hearing her voice her wants, I obliged, pushing two fingers deep inside her. Immediately, I regretted my decision as she winced in pain and bit down on my shoulder. Shocked, I pulled them out and looked at her.

"Are you...."

"Yes." She whispered quietly. "I am a virgin."
