Demitry’s POV
She doesn’t want to go with me. And it hurts. A few hours ago I didn’t know she existed and now all I can think of is how do I get her to be mine. She is gorgeous. Hot as hell even. Light green eyes, beautiful shining curls, plump lips… The dress she is wearing is so tight it hugs her curves perfectly. Full breasts, tight ass, long legs… All I can think of is how I should mate with her right here and now, marking her on the spot and taking her back with me today to have more s*x later on. But she doesn’t look like the girl who would appreciate such an approach. And also, it feels like there is more to her. I should take it slowly... Meanwhile, she “accidentally” slips her hand away from me and I know that she planned it. Why on Earth would she want to become an Alpha, when she can go back with me and become a Luna and enjoy all of the perks of it?!
"At least mark her, moron!" I hear Alexander say, "Before you brother does!"
"He wouldn’t dare. I broke Raf years ago."
"Oh really, so is that why we found her now in his arms, although he knew perfectly well that she is ours?!" my wolf snorts.
"I’ll have a talk with him," I admit my defeat.
"Oh, a talk? Just don’t be too rough on him with all those words," Alex growls, clearly unhappy with my decicion.
"Shut up!", I roll my eyes. Now I am annoyed.
"You should have killed him years ago! Right when she tried to take what’s yours for the first time!" Alex hisses.
"Enough of this old s**t for today," I say and close the mind link, returning to my mate.
We are close to her mansion and all I want is to press her into the hard brick walls, spread her legs and make love to her on the spot. This mate thing affects me too much, especially after I tasted her lips and felt how her body against mine feels. It’s definitely not something to let go of. But I can’t make a wrong move now. If she wants to become an alpha then at least it means that she is not meek and submissive in nature. I need to get to know her better and make a plan. And then she’ll become mine as everything else in the world that I’ve ever wanted.
We are almost at the door, she is about to enter, but I pull her back to me and embrace her, smelling her hair. She still smells of lilacs and vanilla, the heavenly scent.
"What are you doing?" she looks right into my eyes and I see fear. Of course, it’s there. She probably grew up on the stories of big and scary Demitry Richards. She wouldn’t trust me easily.
"You smell so nice," I breathe in again, and this time my nose strokes her cheek and my lips bite her earlobe delicately.
"Th..thank you, Alpha Demitry, " she sounds so lost. I can tell that all this is too much for her. Her heart beats as if she was running a marathon. However, she does not pull away. She probably feels it too. The sparks. I turn her to face me, making sure my hands touch her bare skin. Goddess knows I need as many sparks now as it is only possible.
"I need a chance," I say finally looking into her eyes. And she looks surprised. Really? Did she think that I would give on her easily?
"But I thought we already decided…" she mumbles, looking away.
"Nothing’s decided yet," I brush her bare neck with my fingers, exactly where my mark would go soon and I feel how she gives in a bit. Her body is responding to me just the way I need it to.
"What do you mean, Alpha?"
"Alyssa, trust me, being an Alpha doesn’t give you anything much but a headache," I can’t keep my hands off her, "But even if that’s what you want… What if we could make it work somehow?"
"How on Earth two Alphas can make it work?" she raised her brow, I l suddenly know that she doesn’t trust me one bit.
"Well, I don’t know yet. You are not what I have expected," I say firmly looking into her eyes, "You are so much more."
Her breast goes up and down heavily, she is short of breath. Hopefully, it’s working.
"Alyssa, there’s still some time before your pack’s Trials. Let’s think about it and explore. What if we find a solution together? And what if our mate bond turns out to be so strong that the solution wouldn’t even matter? If you reject me now, wouldn’t you feel curious for the rest of your life about what could have been?"
She is silent, but I know she is thinking about it.
"What do you propose exactly?" she finally asks.
"A date!" I say and can't hold back a smirk.
"A date?" she raises her brow again. So hot when she does this.
"Yes, as you know there’s going to be a wedding soon which we both are going to attend. Why don’t you be my date for the day? We could get to know each other better and I could show you around my pack."
She cringes a bit when she hears about my pack. So, she did hear stories about us.
"You’ll see that we are not as bad and scary as everyone thinks", I insist, holding back another smirk.
She is looking into my eyes trying to read me. Good luck, girl.
"Ok," she finally breathes out.
"Ok?" I need to make sure I heard her right.
"Yes," she smiles shyly, "A date it is. But I would like there to be some rules."
"Of course," I take her hand and kiss it, rubbing with my nose. Come on sparks! Do your job!
"Ok," Alyssa clears her throat, "Rule number one – you do not get physical with me at any point unless you are invited to."
"Invited to?" I grin, "I like it so far!"
"Rule two," she is trying to be firm and takes her hand away, breaking off our body contact, "I can leave at any time."
"Of course," I nod.
"Rule three," she continues, "I will spend some time alone with your brother as well!"
Alyssa’s POV
The grin is off his face now. I probably shouldn’t have said that. But it would be fear to give his brother a chance if he gets one.
"No," I hear him say and he is clearly pissed off now but is trying to hide it.
Did I just make Dimitry Richards angry? Am I stupid? What if he snaps and starts killing people? We are in my pack of all the places! It was stupid to risk like that!
"No?" I ask carefully.
"He is not going to be your mate, Alyssa. This is absolutely out of the question."
"Why?"
"He is not a mate material and also you are mine," he snaps, I should be more careful if I want to live.
"Dimitry, you either promise me respect and a choice, or you don’t," I look into his eyes and realize I can’t read him at all. Am I too bold? What would l it cost me?
"Fine," he finally says coldly, "But his time will be limited to 1 hour and it will be the hour of my choice."
"Deal," I say and smile at him. He looks relieved now.
"Then, miss Greenwood, it would be my honour to accompany you in two weeks’ time."
"Two weeks?" I chant, not sure what he means, "I thought it’s in a month?"
"Oh, no. It’s next month. As in the first Saturday of next month. Which is in two weeks."
"Really? Can you really get everything you need for a wedding so fast?" I exclaim.
"Of course, we can, our pack is not lacking anything except for a Luna," he says casually and I blush.
"Well, it’s probably time to say our goodbyes," I try to change the subjects and he pulls me close in just under one second and kisses me wildly again. His tongue is in my mouth and I can’t breathe as he devours me. I hate to admit it, but it feels good. My whole body is trembling as the sparks between us are quite strong. I am so involved in the kiss that I don’t hear how the door behind me is opening…
"Alyssa?" my father’s shocked voice brings me back to reality.
