Alpha's Vigilante Mate

Chapter 4

REX [ Delvin's Wolf ]

The last twenty-four hours had been a whirlwind. One bad decision followed by another. One would think I had made enough mistakes, but I would go and outdo myself with my subsequent action.

Now I was about to go through my rut, alone, something I had not done in years, because I was not willing to touch a different person after spending the night with Mel. The thought of another woman on our bed tainting our memories did not sit right with me.

I now wanted her as my mate.

Delvin's friends had invited us out the previous evening and we had preferred to be stuck in the VIP section of the club for the better part of the night.With the huge crowd, it was already risky that we had made an appearance, but mingling and getting drunk was way riskier.

I had spent the whole time sipping on my virgin cocktail while observing the crowd beneath us. The paparazzi would be on all corners looking for a money shot through the night. We had to be careful.

The first time I had got a whiff of Mel's scent I thought I was making things up , but having spent years together, I could easily sniff her out from anywhere.

What were the odds? I had thought, and begged Delvin to go downstairs and help me confirm that it was her, but he had not budged and I had been forced to take matters into my own hands. I had pushed him back and gained full control.

I was desperate and if I had lost that scent I would have gone crazy and probably turned the whole kingdom upside down looking for her, so I was just saving Delvin and I the trouble. After years of looking for her, I had concluded we were not even on the same continent.

When I was younger,I had taken to following my parents on all their travels to whichever country, just hoping I could just get a tiny clue about where Mel was, but it had all been futile.

The most important thing I wanted being to apologise for what had happened. Had I not taunted her that day, we would not be where we were, but back home among our kin and the Goddess. My mouth had always moved faster than my brain when it came to Mel. I had been hiding behind the shadows in the temple that day wanting to compliment her. The trainees were so happy, singing praises of how amazing she was which was the norm after their sessions, and I wanted to tell her that too. I had watched her the whole time, foregoing my own training and getting teased over it, but I would always lie that I was just looking at her technique.

Our conversation had taken a turn for the worse when I opened my mouth. I was speaking and the next minute she had flung me across the room, angry, and my apologies did not seem to register to her at all. I did not fight back as I was ashamed and regretful for doing that to her. All our fights had always been snide remarks, never physical, but I overstepped and caused her to lose her cool.

It had taken other soldiers coming and holding her back for her to slightly calm down but they had also been flung across the room in her fit of rage. Other people had also gotten hurt from our fight that fateful day..

Not only had we tainted the temple which was the most sacred place in the realm, the essence of innocent spirits had been spilt. We had broken the two most sacred laws that governed us.

The Moon Goddess's voice was the only thing that had cracked through Mel's haze as she delivered our punishment.

Mel had been the first to be sent away and the look on her face had been ingrained in my mind forever. The Moon Goodess had then addressed me with the final instruction to - make it right - before I was cast away as well.

'Make it right' had turned to, flirting and sleeping with her in one night while not getting a single piece of information about her.Now she had gone back to being untraceable. I had completely misunderstood my assignment.

I had moved some snacks to my bedside table, knowing the next time I would be sane enough to eat was not anytime soon. It was not advisable to spend ruts alone and it would take me longer for it to pass, but I was ready. Delvin had faded away and said it was my punishment for being irresponsible.

" Hope your fist and that old fleshlight will be of service,'' were his exact parting words.

To pass time, I decided to take a nap, still feeling feverish and uncomfortable.

I woke up rutting against my overheated mattress, looking for something, that scent, anything that would help me gain some relief and ease the pain I was feeling.My rut was finally here.

I pulled off my pants,as they felt constricting, and wrapped my hand around my c.ock, jerking myself off while remembering how Mel had felt around me, but it was not enough. I needed more.

I could slowly feel the frustration building up in my body, but my body refused to cooperate. I needed to get something with her scent and that's how I found myself digging through our dirty laundry and looking for the sheets Delvin had earlier disposed of. Mel's scent still clung to them and I was thankful as I rumpled them close to my nose,finally feeling clouded with the delicious scent.

I felt like a pervert but I was fueled by utter desperation.

I was back at it again.The friction on my c.ock made me grab the sheets harder.I imagined Mel underneath me, picturing myself f.ucking into her tight heat, my hands grabbing her flesh so hard it left bruises.

I imagined her moaning out my name this time around,not Alpha, but Rex, begging me to f.uck her harder, willing to take everything I had to offer. Willing to take my knot. With that thought in mind, my climax hit me so hard, I didn’t feel like I had to go again and my body went lax.

I just lay like that and buried my head into the sheets,inhaling the scent of vanilla.

This was barely the first day. I wondered how I would make it through the next four days.

The fading scent of vanilla and caramel that lingered on my sheets was the only thing I had to hold on to.

Subconsciously, over the years, I had always seen her as a potential companion, but the imprint had never fully formed, as we never had any s.exual interactions to prove our compactability in the bedroom, but after last night, my mind and my heart were convinced we were a match.
