Alpha Addison

CH 7

Her mother requested her to come downstairs after breakfast, to the Alpha’s office, that she wear that pretty blue dress, to put on her make-up and make herself look beautiful.

Addison did just that, the way the lady in the store had shown her how to, kept it light and natural, she’d told Addison she didn’t really need make-up. That was nice her first compliment and from a human and a stranger, so she knew it was honest or liked to think so. She applied a medium pink lip gloss, that had a slight sparkle to it, and put mascara on her already thick dark lashes.

She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself, wondering just how that Heir, Carter, down there was going to react when he saw her. He’d looked right at her last night while doing Jovannah and snarled at her to, ‘f**k off.’

Now he was about to come face to face with her and realize he’d not only told her where to go in no uncertain terms, he’d done that while f*****g his soon-to-be Luna’s sister. She sighed a little, it wasn’t a nice thought, not really, but that was the truth of the matter.

She walked herself down the stairs and could see even from up on the third floor, that Carter was standing just outside the Alpha’s office with his future Beta. They were just chatting casually, both smiling and seemingly happy. She didn’t care to listen to their conversation.

She saw him look right at her along with his beta, they both slid their eyes over her, and then Carter moved his eyes passed her, and she knew he was looking for Jovannah. She had nearly rolled her eyes, but held it back, smiled right at his Beta. That man was a good-looking boy himself, and she was really smiling at him now, as she came down the last flight of stairs. She heard him state to Carter, “Ain’t she just the prettiest thing!”

She found Carter's eyes on her once more, saw him actually register what she looked like and realized she was the she-wolf that had seen him out in the woods with Jovannah last night. Saw him frown right at her as he got called into the Alpha’s office.

Addison almost laughed when his Beta winked playfully at her. It was the first time any male had ever paid her attention, though she thought it was nice, knew it wouldn’t last as she walked across the foyer in the direction of the Alpha’s office.

Watched as his eyes widened completely as he realized she was going to the Alpha’s office, and it suddenly dawned on him what was about to go down inside that room. She understood an Alpha and Beta’s relationship, so knew it was highly likely that Carter had told him about he and Jovannah hooking up.

Addison watched that Beta glance at the Alpha’s office and then back to her, as she closed the gap considerably now.

“Beta.” she smiled right at him in greeting, “Nice to meet you.” she stated as she walked right passed him and into the office, and saw his facial expression change to that of, ‘Oh shit.’ As he smelled her and realized, she was a pure-blooded Alpha Female.

He understood what was about to happen inside this office, that his soon-to-be Alpha had bedded the wrong girl. That if Carter had told his Beta what she’d looked like, that man now also knew that she knew what he’d done, that his Alpha’s own future Mate and supposed Luna had seen him f*****g her sister at that.

“Ah, there you are Addison.” her mother smiled, “Carter, your future Luna.” She announced to the man.

Addison watched as shock fell on Carter's face. “Addison?” he frowned a moment later as he looked at her. “I thought Jovannah was the one on the mating alliance.”

“No.” Alpha Martin stated simply, “I have promised both Jovannah and Theodora they could find their fated Mate’s. Addison here is the best option for a mating alliance with this pack.”

“She is very beautiful, don’t you think?” Her mother stated, smiling right at her.

Addison looked right at him and smiled, knew it would enhance the beauty she had. Her smile was genuinely filled with happiness, though not at meeting him, but she was happy to see that fully shocked expression on his face.

She watched as his eyes slid over her. “Yes,” he nodded, “she is beautiful.” He acknowledged.

“She’s also young and healthy, just turned 18. Is pure and innocent as well.” Alpha Martin stated. He knew no-one inside this pack would ever touch her.

“Really?” She heard Carter state disbelievingly.

“Yes.” Addison informed him with a simple nod, didn’t take offense to the tone he used, “I’m not interested in sleeping around, I believe one should wait for their Mate to claim them. I’ve not even so much as kissed a boy.” She told him, keeping her voice soft and gentle. Spoke like a young lady with good manners would.

He got her meaning though, as she stood smiling at him, she was calling him out, “I find that hard to believe.” Carter stated flatly, and seemed angry with her a little.

“Hm, well, unlike some, I’m not a she-wolf who will go and sleep with just anyone I meet.”

“Addison, that is enough,” Martin stated. He didn’t like that she was all calm and collected, she thought. Though he had no idea what was really going on.

But it was the anger on Carter’s face that amused her completely, she’d just called Jovannah, the Alpha’s daughter that he clearly wanted for himself, a w***e. She did know the girl bedded just about anything.

Her eyes moved to Martin. “Is it Alpha Martin?” She addressed him formally.

“Sweetheart please.” It was her mother, “I know you’re unhappy about this, but Carter is a good Alpha, and will treat you with kindness and respect.”

“Really mother?” She moved her eyes to her mother, and then back to Carter himself. He wasn’t going to like what was about to happen inside this room. But she could see that the way she had addressed her mother and Alpha Martin had not gone unnoticed by Carter, or his father, who stood just behind the boy or that man’s Beta sitting over on the couch either.

She had just drawn a distinct line between how she saw both the Alpha and Luna, and they had not missed it at all. That she had addressed Martin as Alpha and not father. Yes, she smelled of Alpha blood, and she was enjoying watching them all try and figure it out.

Whether she was actually the man’s daughter or not. Which she wasn’t. She also didn’t look anything like him or her mother, for that matter. That surely had to get noticed.

“I don’t know, mother,” she stated simply, calmly, “about him being a good respectable man, not after what I saw last night...” she looked right at Carter and watched his jaw tighten, he knew it was all about to come out, “He was out having s*x in the woods.”

“What?” Her mother gasped, completely shocked by her words, then turned her eyes on Carter, demanding an answer from him.

“Mm, with Jovannah mother.” She informed the room simply with a slight nod of her head.

Watched Carter glare at her instantly, she’d just outed his indiscretion to all in the room and with his claim of, ‘I thought it would be Jovannah.’ He was screwed and she knew it. She just stood there smiling at him. The stupid boy didn’t know how to follow the rules.

“Son?” she heard his own father grate out from behind him, seemed more than angry about the turn of events.

“What is the meaning of this?” Alpha Martin grated out, “Jovannah is innocent in the ways of men, is keeping herself for her Mate. Did you force yourself on my eldest daughter?”

Carter's expression was one of complete shock now at Martin’s words. He likely didn’t even know why the man would state it, he didn’t know Martin thought his daughter was precious, innocent and could do no wrong.

“I did no such thing,” Carter stated.

“Explain yourself to me boy.” her mother snapped at him, “You came here for a mating alliance with my daughter, Addison, and you bedded your future Luna’s sister, in front of her.”

She smiled right at Carter all sweetly, “He did mother. I can show you which tree it was out there up against if you like. You’re pure-blooded would be able to detect the scent still. It did not rain last night, so the scent was not washed away and if he,” she wrinkled her nose in disgust and shook her head slightly, “well...pulled out, the proof will still be there, I imagine.”

Carter looked absolutely furious now, “I thought Jovannah was to be my future Luna. Is the Alpha’s daughter, she took a shine to me, and we were getting along very well. So, there was no harm in us having s*x. Seeing if we were compatible in that department, she was to be my future. It was fine.”

“So you did have s*x with my daughter, took her innocence from her?” Alpha Martin grated out.

“She was far from innocent, I assure you,” Carter stated.

“Mother, I’m not going to be mated to anyone who willingly has s*x with someone else, when he’s supposedly already agreed to be my Mate, is here to get to know me. I don’t feel that he will be loyal to me at all.” She sighed heavily and shook her head a little sadly.

“An error was all it was.” she heard his father finally state, “Addison,” he addressed her directly, “I’m Alpha Casey of the Bloodied Waters pack, please excuse my son’s indiscretion...Carter apologize to Addison at once.” He grated out to his son.

“I don’t really want it, Alpha Casey.” she commented, “Not after what he said to me, how he said it to me when I personally saw them myself.” she looked at her mother, “If you’ll excuse me mother, perhaps Jovannah’s name should be on that Mating alliance. It is clear that he likes her already.”

She turned and walked from the room, then stopped at the doorway and looked right at Carter, sighed softly and shook her head. Then she just stepped out of the room and closed the door and thought to herself, ‘I hope you like spoiled brats.'

She found his Beta looking right at her, that door had not been closed, he’d heard everything that had gone on inside that room. She shook her head at him, and he just sighed heavily himself.

“You’re not a very good Beta, you know. You should have reminded him not to touch anyone. With a mating alliance on the table, I believe one has to wait to mate their intended until all parties have not only been formally introduced but all have signed that agreement as well.”

“My apologies, Addison...even I thought Jovannah was the one to be on the alliance, she was all over him.”

“I’m aware, she hates me just so you know.” Addison told him as she walked away, “Did it on purpose to hurt me.” She strolled away, heading for her room.

Passed a filthy angry looking Jovannah on the way, as she came out of the elevator, “Good luck?” She called out.

That girl was in a lot of trouble. If she claimed it was against her will, all hell was going to break loose. Addison was, however, done playing nice with this pack. She was only halfway up the stairs when her mother mind-linked her to come back downstairs.

She just sighed and turned around and went back downstairs to the Alpha’s office. The door, she noted, was still closed. Now that this was about Jovannah and not Addison, there was a need for privacy, it seemed.

She saw that Beta look right at her. “Please help him,” He stated.

“Why would I do that, after what he did?”

“Please, he has never forced himself on a she-wolf ever.” He implored her.

Addison looked right at the man now and raised an eyebrow, “Not my future Mate anymore, not my problem. He should have kept it in his pants.”

“Addison.” he reached out and touched her arm gently. “That’s a very beautiful name, it suits you.”

“Cut the crap, Beta.” She knew what he was doing.

“Gavin.” He stated.

“Get to the point, Gavin, neither you nor your asshole of a future Alpha in their can charm me or sweet talk me into getting what you want now.” She told him directly, showing him she was not about to be pushed around by either of them.

He sighed heavily, “Please, Addison, he is a good person. Made one mistake, that is all, and because your father didn’t put your name on that paperwork.”

“He’s not my father.” Addison told him flatly, and saw his eyes widen, saw them glaze over a second later.

She shook her head as she pushed into the Alpha’s office, to find a teary Jovannah all leaned into her father’s chest, his arms around her, and there was Carter down on the floor, his arms twisted up behind his back by Alpha Martin’s whole unit.
