Alpha Female Vs. Alpha

Chapter 5

*Rick POV

    No words can describe how utterly pissed off i am at the moment. Not only is my father falling at the feet of the people responsible for our pack turning out the way it has but he also expects me to take his daughter as my Luna? No way in hell. Mate or not this is a mistake. The faster i reject her and get these people out of our lives the better. I'm sure my father will see it my way eventually. It looks as though she has just as much distaste for this whole situation as i do. She wants to be Alpha probably more than i do right now, she seems like she wants to make a point. That she is just as good as any other male out there capable of running a pack. 

    I decided to take a walk around the property to clear my head. The last thing anyone needed is me saying something that will only make this more awkward for me or my family. I just can't understand why my parents trust them so unconditionally. If they are as great as my parents claim then why are they only coming to our aid now? Surely they would have heard the hardships we have had to face over the years while their pack has only gotten stronger. So why are they all of a sudden willing to help us? They must have an ulterior motive for helping us. They want something from us and knowing how my father is with them i'm sure he will just hand it over with out a second thought. 

    I must have been pretty deep in thought for me not to realise how far away from the house i am now. We might be safer on their land but i wouldn't put it past the enemy to know we are here and strike when one of us is alone. Somehow they have always managed to stay two steps ahead of us and the only explanation is someone is helping them. But who? There is barely anyone left in our pack alive that would be of use to anyone. Unless they are spying on us someway or another. Either way i need to be extremely cautious with who i trust if i opt to trust anyone at all. At this point in time it might be safer to trust only myself. Not even my parents. They aren't making the wisest of decisions right now and putting more on their plate will only make things worse. 

"Who's there?"

    I stop dead in my tracks from the angelic voice that is coming just a little ways a head of me. My wolf is going crazy and my nose is burning like i have stumbled across the most exotic smell in the entire world. It must be her. It's got to be. I recognise this unsettling, disturbing, annoying feeling anywhere. I hate how my whole body gravitates towards her. I am all for having a mate. I just despise that is someone from this family.

"Is that you Rick?"

    "Yea. It's just me."

"Good. This is perfect timing, i have finally calmed down enough to talk and i think it would be more productive if it was just you and me. Our parents seem to be enjoying this a little to much."

    My entire body is beaming with delight from her mere presence, i can feel myself getting excited with each step she takes closer to me. Now that she is coming into the moonlight and out of the dark i can truly see how beautiful she really is. The way her hair shined in the moonlight and swayed with every step she takes makes me want to jump her right here and now and claim her as mine. I know that's what my wolf wants and most likely her's as well. 

    As she get's closer and closer we are finally only a few inches apart now. She is looking me up and down as if to decide what she is going to do next. Her pale skin shimmering in the light and her gorgeous eyes, i don't even know how to describe them. I have never seen such a beautiful pair of eyes before. Her entire essence is radiating confidence, i can honestly say i have never come across a she-wolf like her before. Although she doesn't look exactly like her mother and if the stories are true about her she is one Luna you don't want to f**k with. Especially when it comes to her family, but that being said i have heard some unsettling rumours about her mothers people. That she abandoned them when they needed her most. If that is true then that is just another reason not to get involved with this family anymore than we already have. Getting close to Diana i might be able to get some answers to some of these questions that have been rattling around in my head for a while now. 

"Well are we going to talk or just stare at each other all night?"

    My comment seems to have taken her aback. Good. I need to remain in control of this conversation if i want to get any answers. She might be a strong she-wolf/Alpha female, but she is also just a young girl that has just discovered her mate for this first time. I am a little bit older than her and i can control my feelings a lot better than most wolves, i can use this to my advantage.

"Sorry. As angry as i am for everyone trying to decide what is best for me, i still find this whole thing interesting. I honestly didn't think i would find my mate until i was a bit older. Although my mother was around my age when she found my father so i guess i am not that surprised. But still i was kind of hoping to not have a true mate. No offence."

    "None taken. I don't think i find this situation as interesting as you do but this has definitely been an eventful day to say the least."

"If you don't think this is at least interesting then what would be the word you would describe it as?"

    "Annoying."

The hurtful expression that just crossed her face left a deep sharp pain in my chest. What just from her being sad makes me want to punch something? This is really freaking annoying. 

    "Sorry. Sometimes i just say the first thing that pops into my head without thinking."

"Don't be sorry. At least you are honest about your feelings."

    "What i meant by annoying is, i was hoping that all of our conversations would be on my pack and how we are going to help get us back to where we need to be. Not about my future Luna that doesn't even want to join my pack. What are we to weak for you princess?"

"What?! Of course not! That thought never crossed my mind and i am insulted at the insinuation. But yes i don't want to join your pack because i have been training all my life to take over MY pack from my father. My twin brother is strong but he is irresponsible and all he cares about is concerning every females panties. He could careless about this pack and our future. I am sick and tired of everyone just assuming because he is a male that is better to lead than i am! Which actually makes my father a giant hypocrite considering he would be nothing without my mother. She is just as much the Alpha of this pack as my father is."

    "Well tell me princess what makes you more qualified to be Alpha? It takes more than being strong and good at fighting. It also takes leadership skills and putting your peoples needs before your own. You look like you have been spoiled your entire life, i don't think you even know how to put other peoples needs before your own."

"Oh and you do?"

    "Yes i do. I think it is a mistake that we are here begging your mother and father to help us. But i have swallowed my pride and came with my family because as s**t as this situation is this is our best option."

"You really do hate us don't you?"

    "Hate is a very strong word. I don't trust any of you."

"Right. Well that goes both ways. Trust and respect are earned."

    "Couldn't agree more princess."

I seemed to have pissed her off because she is back in my face with snarl silently releasing from her mouth. This might be weird but it was really kind of turning me on. I have never felt like this before with anyone and as much as i hate to admit it i am enjoying it.

    "Stop. Calling. Me. Princess. I don't like being made to a fool. I deserve much better than that."

 "Like i told you i simply speak before thinking. But if you ask me i think princess is a very suitable nickname for you."

    "Like hell it is and i don't remember asking your opinion so f**k off!"

The angrier she got the more it turned me on and the next thing i know her face is in the palm of my hands and her lips crash onto mine as her body slowly starts to grind against mine. It feels like an eternity has gone by and the only thing left is me and her. As she turns her head to deepen the kiss i can feel my body telling me and my wolf that she is exactly what i need. Whether i like it or not.
