The Confused Alpha

Chapter 8 Axel

Wholly s**t!! f**k! I kissed him! I… kissed…… him. I just walked up to him. Then kissed him. f**k! I can’t believe I did it. I knew I would try. I had a plan. I needed to know if I could. I needed to know how it would feel. If I wasn’t happy with the kiss I would need a new plan to get out of the arranged mating. Turns out I had no reason to be concerned as far as chemistry goes. It was the best f*****g kiss I have ever had in my entire life. I didn’t want to stop. I wouldn’t have stopped. In that moment I would have let him do absolutely anything to me. He had me, an alpha wolf pushed against the brick being owned. I don’t understand what came over me. I’m losing my mind. I must be. My god when he bit my neck I almost lost it in my jeans. How on earth am I an alpha wolf? I almost ruined my jeans. How am I suppose to get through dinner with a hard on. I have never wanted anyone more and I have no idea what to do with him. But wholly f**k is he mine.

After we take a minute to calm down. Cosmo opens the door to The 3 Tacos for me and gestures for me to enter. I feel like I’m in shock. Like I’m under water and perfectly happy about the fact. He speaks with the hostess for us since I seem to be tongue tied. As she leads us to a table he places his hand on my lower back. I feel it like a brand. A possession. I don’t hate the feeling like I would have imagined. My big bad wolf is just giddy. I need to get out if this fog. I want to enjoy this date with my mate. I also have to tell him about my pack and my dads plans. Especially because I want to make sure his plans don’t happen. I also just plain want him. Weird and confusing but I do.

We take our seats and grab menus. “What are you in the mood for?” I ask. “ hmmm well I had let my dragon out earlier so I’m gonna need a lot to eat. I really want to try the tacos. Also their tamales with a sprite.” Cosmo says. I can’t wait to see his dragon. My wolf can’t either. He’s excited to have a big strong mate. He’s basically sticking his ass up and waving his tail in the air at just the thought. “Alright Let’s get twenty of each type of taco and fifty tamales. It should be a nice start” I say with a laugh. “Plus beans and rice.” Cosmo says with a toothy grin. My dragon mate is definitely hungry.

I wave the waitress over to take our order. “Are you two ready to order?” She asks with a smile. “Yes I think we are. We’re gonna share twenty of each type of tacos and fifty tamales. Six orders of beans and rice. Also We will have a root beer and a sprite to drink please.” I give her our order. Her jaw drops and her eyes go wide. “That’s 120 tacos total guys. Are you sure?” She asks “You are right it may not be enough. Better make it 30 of each. I say with a decisive nod. I don’t want my mate to be hungry. “Yes sir. Would you two like to start with an appetizer.” She asks. She’s looking at us like we are crazy. “ O yes. Two orders of the steak nachos and three orders of guacamole with chips please mam.” Cosmo orders. Yum that does sound really good. With that she headed to put in our huge food order.

“So Axel tell me about yourself.” He says. “Well I’m alpha heir and I help run our pack businesses. As well as our food pantry that helps to feed our areas needy. I love reading, my Jeep and my pack. My best friend is my beta Waylon. I enjoy movies and music. O I love tacos.” I smile because tacos. He chuckles at me. “What about you Cosmo.” “Well I grew up in the foster system. I was found at a firehouse when I was just a few days old. I just had a piece of paper with my name on it. It was a huge surprise when my dragon presented himself. I am just glad I was alone when he did. I left the home I was in when I was 17 to try and find other dragons. I never did. Been traveling ever since.” He tells me.

“So you were just driving through when we met?” I ask. I really hope he’s not planning on leaving. He smiles at me like he knows my thoughts. “No actually. I purchased a property. Signed the paperwork this morning. I can’t wait to show you. I’m going to open a custom bike shop and I have about 25 acres of land. My best friend Zep is another biker. He should actually be arriving in town in few days.”He tells me. “That’s amazing! I can’t wait to see it.” I mean it too. His whole face lights up when he talks about opening his shop. I’m even excited to meet his friend. I wonder if he will be a supernatural like us.

Our food arrives and it’s delicious. We devour everything. We even ordered dessert. We each had a fried ice cream covered in chocolate sauce and whip cream. I don’t think the waitress expected us to be able to eat it all. I insist on paying of course. My wolf and I both felt a driving need to provide for our mate. Especially since he needed the extra food due to shifting into his dragon. “So how about you show me this new property.” I suggest. The smile on his face is wonderfully blinding. He nods at me. “Yes I would love that.” We walk out together and he walks me to my Jeep with his hand on my lower back. I really do love when he does that. My wolf goes all sweet and rolls onto his back in my head like he’s going to get a belly rub. I unlock my Jeep door and open it. When I turn back around Cosmo pulls me to him. He wraps his arms around me and takes my lips. It’s a claiming. A promise of what’s to come. When he finally lets me up for air he gives me a wink and pats my ass. “Just follow me.” He says as he turns and saunters to his bike.

It takes me a few to many seconds to turn back around and climb into my Jeep. He patted my ass. I think I may have even liked it. I think my hearts beep a million miles per minute. I know what I want tonight. I just don’t know how it will work. But I need to tell him everything before that happens. I follow Cosmo to his property and was surprised to see it’s the shop that’s been for sale. That borders pack lands. That actually works out perfectly. It’s dark out when we pull up but our shifter eye sight works just fine.

“You know your land borders pack territory?” I ask when I get out of the Jeep. “No I didn’t for sure. My realtor had said something about wolves but I didn’t know if they were wild or pack. I did mark my territory earlier today when I came out for a shift. But I thought your wolf may like all the trees. Plus my dragon couldn’t wait to play chase with your wolf on our own land.” He tells me with a smirk. I think I could end up obsessed over that smirk. How did I not know that a man could look this good. He holds his hand out to me “Take a walk with me?” I put my hand in his and he links our fingers together. We start walking towards the woods. I’m surprised that I like even just holding hands with him. It’s not something I ever did with any of the girls I hooked up with. It was always best not to give them any more attention then needed. Best not to give his father ideas.

“I want to claim each other. But there is things I need to say before we do that.” I tell him. He nods his head that he’s listening. “My dad is trying to set up an arranged matting for me. It’s set for the next full moon. I obviously am not going through with it and he even gave me till then to find my fated mate. Which lucky I did because I don’t care for the she-wolf he picked out. But he will not take our mating well. Not only are you a non wolf but being a man you won’t be able to give my pack heirs. I’m still not sure what to do about an heir. But that doesn’t change the fact that your my mate and I want this.” I tell him honestly. He growls loudly at the thought of me mating someone else. Looks like both of us feel the same about that. “Not to mention I’m pretty sure we’re already mated. At least based off of what happened when our eyes had met and how I’ve felt since.” I say. “Honestly I’m not sure. I would have to say that I agree with you. But since I was orphaned and haven’t come across any others of my kind I don’t know how it works. I just know that your my mate because of my dragon. However I do have a deep need to bite you. Badly.” He tells me.

I can tell that him not having any others of his species is hard for him. Having no knowledge of his own history or how to claim me properly in the ways of his people. I couldn’t imagine not having my pack or beta. I couldn’t imagine not knowing how to correctly claim him. “My beta and I have been trying to do research since we’ve met. We found a lead to a book that should be able to tell us about your species history and mating rituals. A fae named Ben owns a local bookshop. He seems to be willing to help. He’s the one with the contact for the book. From what he says there was only ever three copies made. So if he can get us permission to study it. It should answer a lot of questions that we both have. Hopefully. I should hear about if we will have access to it soon. With in the next few day from what he told us. Biting is how wolves mate. During s*x we bite each other. Claiming each other and merging our souls. I already feel like our souls have intertwined. Which hopefully is true.” We stop in a clearing and he pulls me to him. He dips his head to my neck. Taking a long sniff and releasing a growl. “Is that what you want my wolf? Do you want to bite me? Do you want me to claim you in the ways of your people?”He asks. His voice is much deeper then normal. I can tell his dragon is close to the surface. “Yes I want to claim each other. I want that more then anything. Being mated to a man isn’t what I had ever pictured but I know that the moon goddess choose you for me. So we are perfectly made for each other.” Then he’s kissing me. Owning me.
