Emmet
My goddess, Athena tastes like heaven. I didn’t know I could do this to a woman. She’s quivering all over her body, pulling my hair almost out of my head when all of a sudden she flinches away from me, jumps off the bed and dashes out of the room.
Did I do something wrong? She hardly looks at me and all I got was four words from her.
“I need to go.”
Does she regret what we did? I should have asked for consent again, I’m so stupid.
After a cold shower, I follow the scent of my mate, leading me to Alpha Cameron’s office. I knock on the door before thinking and the door swings open. My gorgeous mate stands before me.
“Uh .. sorry to interrupt.” I scratch the back of my neck.
“Emmet, please come in.” Alpha Cameron invites me inside.
Athena and I sit side by side across from Alpha Cameron at his desk.
“So I believe we have a problem.” He announces.
“I’m sorry?” I ask. Does he know what I just did to his daughter? I’m about to beg him for forgiveness on my hands and knees when he starts talking again.
“Alice. Athena informed me that you two figured out that it was her that attacked you with wolfsbane.”
“Oh! Yes … that.” I stutter.
“Yes father, she was jealous that I found my mate before she did. She must have thought eliminating Emmet would somehow mean we’d still be friends.” Athena fabricates a lie. At least it’s better than the truth of being in a secret relationship with her.
“It seems that she knew she would be caught and brought to justice.” Alpha Cameron continues. “Is it possible that she was only close to you because of your status?”
“Possibly father. Although, it was you that appointed her and she grew up in this pack. I trusted her with my life. I can only imagine what would have happened if she succeeded with her plan.” Athena grips my hand, Alpha Cameron’s gaze follows the action.
“May I ask why you two haven’t marked each other yet?” He asks.
“Oh … um …” I try to think of an excuse but come up with nothing.
“Because father, Emmet is still adjusting to life as a werewolf and living within a pack. I didn’t want to force him into a life long relationship with me when we hardly know each other.” Athena explains confidently, coming to my rescue once again.
“But the Alpha title, my retirement.” Alpha Cameron tries to argue.
“I know father, you just need to give us some time. Please.” She tries to reason with him.
“Alright. I’m going to have our best trackers searching for Alice. In the mean time, I have a meeting to attend with the local authorities in Port Douglas regarding the wolfsbane.” Alpha Cameron rises to his feet.
“Alpha, would you mind checking in on my parents while you’re there? Maybe you could convince them to come live in the pack too?” I suggest, also standing to my feet.
He gazes at me for a moment before extending his hand. “I’ll do my best.” We shake hands firmly but he doesn’t release my hand. “You take care of my daughter, son. One day the two of you will run this pack together and I need your word that you’ll do everything to protect her.”
“I swear to the Goddess, I will always protect Athena.” I promise him.
“Good man. Now, I must be leaving.” He swiftly leaves us in his office.
“I can’t believe he just called you son.” Athena laughs, pulling me into the hallway and locking the door behind her.
She looks around inconspicuously before pushing me into her office. She locks the door and does one of those obnoxious sweeps to clear her desk and everything falls to the floor with a crash. She drops her shorts and panties in a frenzy, my d**k instantly hardens in my pants. Athena lays back on her desk, her legs spread wide.
“Now, where were we?” She beckons me with her index finger, pulling me into her web again like a black widow.
She’s going to be the death of me but I kneel between her legs regardless. She’s not getting away from me this time.
