Dominic: Son of Axel and Forrest

Chapter 9

-Dominic P.O.V.- 

Shortly after dinner...and after Ace and Holly met…

I was currently in the room that my father had set up for my mate, but he was gathering his things so he could move them to my room. I was watching him, but honestly Holly and Ace were on my mind. I don’t really know this Ace so I hope he is good for Holly. Holly deserves to have someone who will treat her like a Queen especially after everything she has been through. Her son also deserves to have a father figure in his life, as well. 

Victor: Just ask our mate about Ace. 

Me: I am thinking about it. 

Victor: What is there to think about? Goddess, you annoy me. (he says as he rolls his eyes) 

Me: Oh just shut up. You annoy me too. I am deciding if I should ask him or let Ace prove himself. If Holly accepts him then that is enough for me, but I am also worried. Holly is a treasure within this pack. 

Victor: I know...She means a lot to me too. 

Me: You old softy. (Victor growls at me before retreating) 

After some thinking, I decided to just ask my mate about Ace. “Tell me about Ace.” I ask him as he is just rolling his suitcase over to me. 

He gives me a look before raising his eyebrow. “Why?” He asks me as I grab his suitcase from him and lead him to our room. I keep silent until we reach our room. My room but it is now our room. 

“I want to know about him because he is going to be mated to one of my pack members. A pack member who has been through a fairshare of trauma in the past.” I say as I walk his suitcase over to the closet. 

I hear my bed creak before he sighs. “Ace is a good guy. Hates the Elder Lycans just as much as me. He has been by my side since I was about 100 years old, so for the past 200 years we have been working side by side. We were even a part of the Elder Lycans for a bit until we started to bu*t heads. We got “kicked” out and turned into the ones who tried to re-recruit the Lycans who had left. Now we never did our job as we just did our best to hide them better or keep them safe from any attacks. He did have a human mate around the time we were 200, and she treated him badly. So he rejected her and went on with life hoping that he would find someone who would appreciate his love. All he has ever wanted is to mate with someone and live his life with them.” 

I walk over to Apollo and sink to my knees before him. I move his thighs a part before moving in between them. “Did you ever have a mate before me?” I ask softly. 

He sighs before closing his eyes. I will take that as a yes, then. I don’t say anything as I just sit there and wait for him to tell me. I must say that I would not be mad if he had a mate before me seeing he is about 300 years old. 

Victor: Hmmm, I don’t know how I feel about him being with other people. (My wolf growls in my head) 

Me: Oh shut up. (I snap back) 

Victor: I may not like it but I understand. (he growls before retreating to the back of my head) 

I raise my hands up to my mates cheeks before cupping them. He opens up his eyes and looks deep into mine. “Please just tell me.” I tell him softly. 

He sighs as he brings his hands up to rest them against mine. “I had a human mate, but I ended up rejecting him. He was a piece of sh*t, and that is putting it lightly. When I first met him, I worked hard for about a year to gain his trust but once I gained it….he spit on it. I never marked him because my wolf did not like him. I just never knew how right he was. That human mate cheated on me and tried to verbally ab*se me. Now he tried but I ended up rejecting him so he was the one who ended up in pain. Not me. He spit on the mate bond and didn’t appreciate what it meant.” 

He looks into my eyes. “I must say that the ex-human mate was unworthy of everything you had to offer. If I ever run across him then I will personally deal with him myself.” I growled as I could feel Victor getting angry along with me. How dare someone do this to OUR mate. OURS. 

“Calm down. It happened like 100 years ago.” He whispers out. 

“MINE!” I growl out as I pull him down and slam my lips onto his. 

He moans into the kiss as I dominate his mouth. I force his lips apart as I shove my tongue into his mouth. I roll my tongue with his as he moans. I swallow his moans down as I explore his mouth with my tongue. I move my hands down as one of my hands goes around his neck and my other one goes to his hip. I grip tightly onto his hip as I move more into his body. His hands go around my shoulders as he clings onto me. Our tongues clash together as he moves his head to the side. 

Victor: CLAIM HIM (he growls at me as he is trying to gain control) 

Me: Not tonight (I snap back as I keep myself from letting him through) 

I force Victor to the back of my mind. I cannot have him claiming our mate before our mate is ready. Freaking wolf. 

I pull back from the kiss and rest my forehead against his. “I want to so badly claim you but I do not want to rush you. I want to do this right.” I say with a husking voice as I keep my eyes closed. 

I soon feel his hands around both of my wrists and he removes my hands from his hip and throat. He keeps his hold on them and forces them behind my back. I snap my eyes open and look at him with a pointed look. He just smirks. “Whats the matter? Huh, mate.” He whispers out as he leans forward and places a soft kiss on my temple. 

I growl. “Do not play with me.” 

“Or what? Are you going to do anything about it? Huh?” He teases me.
