Alpha’s Possession

Chapter 6

Today the aroma of food was like poison for me, it was exacerbating my stomach ache which was happening due to hunger.

This task was getting very difficult for me, but I had to control myself.

I tried to ask the servants working in the meeting today but I didn't get to know anything. Only got advice to do my job properly. Anyway, now I had to bear everything, whatever would happen in that meeting and I was ready for that.

When the black door opened, a variety of scents hit my nostrils, but the most powerful of them was the one that caused excitement all over my body that I could not ignore.

The meeting hall was very big. The beautiful chandelier was hanging from the middle of the ceiling. A lot of seats were placed in curved rows, on which all the high-ranking people were seated, and Alpha Xavier, the owner of the powerful scent, was seated in the head chair. His beautiful scent wafted into my nose. My heart beats like a drum, pounding against the inside of my chest.

He looked incredible. His crisp white shirt didn't hide his broad shoulders and defined upper body, and his shirt’s sleeves rolled up elbows revealing his tanned forearms. His handsome face was glowing with unwavering confidence in his serious face. He looked adorable even in his stern face.

‘ You have come here to do your work, not to admire him. You should ignore him! And focus on your work.’ I scolded myself mentally.

His eyes met mine and a smirk spread across his serious face and I immediately lowered my gaze. I tried to ignore him and kept doing my job with my head down. Everything seemed normal here, Lily had scared me unnecessarily. But there were people from outside the pack as well. I could recognize them by their scent. Each pack had a different scent, so we could easily identify the people in our pack.

“When will Frank come back?” A man asked Pamela. He did not seem to be a member of my pack.

“He will take time to come back.” She answered, smiling.

I served her red wine as Mia had told me. My eyes collided with Xavier’s green ones again and I felt my heart skip a beat. Why did I always look at him again and again. Oh Moon Goddess, he was driving me crazy. How could I control my beast?

Then he gestured with his finger to come near him. At first I thought he was pointing at someone else, but when I saw that he was calling me, I was scared. He took my breath away and my feet were frozen. His eyes were still on me. I felt my cheeks getting warm.

I hated that he had such an effect on me. His presence made me feel helpless, and I had no control over myself. My body shivered in pleasure.

I was really crazy, I wanted to touch him, my mate. I wanted to be with him. Though he didn't want to at all, maybe he sensed it and a knowing smile spread on his lips. He was looking at me like I was not capable of doing anything. If I was not afraid of death, I would have shown him what I could do. I could kiss him in front of everyone here right now. But sadly by doing this I would put my aunt in danger along with me. ‘So yes, Mr. Alpha, you are right! I am not capable of doing anything at the moment.’

A maid who was with me pushed me lightly and gestured to go ahead and do my work. I snapped out of my trance and saw that many people were watching me the way that's why I was not serving wine to their dear alpha.

I took a deep breath to calm myself and proceeded with my slow steps towards Alpha Xavier to do my work.

“My alpha, this is a serious matter and we have to get to the bottom of it.” A man from my pack, Parker spoke. Xavier removed his gaze from me and looked at Parker.

I started pouring wine into Xavier’s empty glass. The incident of the morning started running into my mind. His proximity and the effect he had on me were both very dangerous and intoxicating to me. His scent was enough to drive me crazy. I wanted to feel his fragrance in my breath throughout my body. I was taken aback by this madness and my desire to be near him.

I looked at him, who seemed completely unaffected by his true mate's presence. Why was this bond of mate only bothering me? Why was it not having any effect on him? Why, why? If I hadn't been aware enough to stop and control myself, I would have already touched him with my hand and tried to inhale his intoxicating scent in such a way that it would never get away from me. I held my breath to save myself from his scent. Yes, yes, to save myself from desire, craziness and his intoxicating smell. I started trying to do what I was on it for.

I picked up the bottle of wine from the table. My hands were trembling, but I was able to fill the glass well with the wine. When I saw him with stealthy eyes, he was not paying attention to me. his eyes were fixed on the man. I took a sigh of relief. Working for Alpha Xavier may not have been easy for me, but the task of serving in the meeting seemed easy, so far I had done everything correctly. I was so scared and worried unnecessarily. Xavier had talked about working in this meeting by saying punishment only to scare me.

“The soldiers of Moon pack will go to the Ben pack and investigate the matter.” Alpha ordered loudly. There was a harshness in his voice that echoed throughout the room.

“No,” shouted a rough man who looked older than Xavier. He was slamming his hand hard on the table. He probably belonged to Ben Pack. I was startled and the wine glass was shaken from my hand and a little wine fell from it.

“s**t,” I cursed under my breath. I was scared, and I immediately looked at Xavier, who was looking at that guy who just screamed and made me make this mistake. Xavier's facial expression seemed quite calm, but his eyes were brimming with anger as if he would just tear him apart. Everyone's attention was focused on the same person who dared to challenge Alpha Xavier’s order.

“How dare you insult my Alpha.” Our Beta Steve growled in anger.

“No…. I-,” he stammered and before he completed his sentence Pamela cut him off angrily, “what you, Bill?”

My attention shifted away from the man to my mistake that I had just committed. Before Alpha Xavier would know about my mistake and he would punish me, I walked away from Xavier slowly and silently.

“ I didn't mean that…. I just wanted to say that I am not lying, and this action is not needed,” Bill argued. But this time he didn't scream, his voice was normal.

“If you're not lying, why are you scared?” Steve said mockingly. There everyone started laughing except the people on his side.

“It is a complete disgrace to our pack and our Alpha,” Bill growled.

“But we don't think so,” Pamela spoke with her high voice.

Bill's face turned red with anger and humiliation. The atmosphere here was heated.

“Our pack has suffered a lot.” A man from another pack said, “And we want to know the truth and so we will request Alpha to take action.” He requested. I knew from the badge on his shirt that he was a member of the silver Pack. Most of the members there used to wear a marked badge of their Pack.

Billy laughed sardonically, then he complained, “You have suffered because of your carelessness, it isn’t our fault.”

“Not because of our carelessness, but from the conspiracy of you guys.” That silver pack’s man alleged.

“Now I will not allow them to be arbitrarily anymore. You all keep licking Alpha Xavier's boots, but me and my pack won't do that.” Bill vented his anger.

Everyone left their seats and stood shouting in anger, it seemed as if they would all make this hall a battlefield, and would shed rivers of blood everywhere. I got scared. Seeing all this scene, my body was trembling. I put my hand on my mouth in fear, a slight scream came out of my mouth but that scream was suppressed by the angry roar of all of them. I thought of getting out of here. I looked at my colleagues who had worked with me in this meeting, all of them were in the same condition as me, scared and helpless. No one even dared to move from their place. A maid standing beside me held my hand tightly and her nails were piercing my skin, but I could not free my hand from her. Perhaps it was giving false support to both of us that maybe we were together safe with each other.

I immediately turned around and saw Xavier, who was still sitting in his chair, but his face was full of rage that could explode at any time.

“Sit down everyone,” Alpha Xavier gave order to everyone in his powerful authority voice, which no one could dare to disobey.

Everyone sat down on his orders. Bill also sat down hesitantly.

“So what do you want, Bill?” Xavier growled.

Bill flinched, but he stuck to his word, “I just want to stop this useless action.”

“So this action seems useless to you?” Xavier asked, suppressing his anger.

I could feel his emotions. But not completely. What I was feeling right now was just anger. My aunt used to say that when a mate gave his mark, then they could easily feel all the feelings of each other completely, sorrow, happiness everything….. It was a different feeling, when your other half would accept you completely and you could feel your mate's every single emotion and get lost in it. ‘Will this happen to me too? no or yes? I don’t know!’ I was admiring my mate when his fiery eyes collided with mine and I was shocked and staggered at my place. The maid who held my hand helped me maintain my balance, her grip had became tight.

“You okay?” she asked me softly so that only I could hear.

I nodded, “Yeah!”

He looked at me with a warning eye. I was looking at the floor immediately and cursing myself. Did he know what I was thinking, no how could it be? He hadn't marked me yet. I was thinking too much. Or maybe I thought too loud, so he listened to my thoughts, after all he was my mate and a mighty Alpha. But why couldn't I listen to his thoughts? That’s not fair!

“No..” Bill hesitated, “I mean instead of investigating us, the culprit should be punished. and you have the culprit.”

“But they say that they found shelter in your pack, and because of the orders of someone from your pack, so many innocent people were killed.” Xavier had such an authority in his voice that no one could dare to deny him.

“He is a liar, and everyone knows this, so why argue over him.” Bill said defensively. He was still showing his impudence, and all the people who were on his side started supporting him.

“We all know that the condition of the Ben pack’s Alpha is not such that he gives this order, so whoever has hatched this conspiracy should be punished, so please Alpha do justice.” Silver Pack’s man said.

“ Yes…yes.. yes…” The voice of the people's consent echoed in the hall.

My body and brain warned me of unknown danger despite no signs of any. I gulped down as I stared at the people were arguing with each other.

“It is a crime to give shelter to rogues in an illegal way and they used them for wrong deeds. They should be punished for this crime.” Pamela gritted through her teeth.

“ It's a false allegation. None of our pack members had done this.” Bill objected.

“The truth will come out soon!” Steve said.

“No you are wrong!” Bill shouted.

“ Enough, This is my last decision, I will help the Silver pack and my soldiers will go to the Ben pack for investigation and action.” Xavier ordered in his roaring voice.

“But I oppose your order and I start it with this.” Bill opposed.

A scream came out of my mouth, and then the very next moment I found myself trapped in his strong dangerous clutches.

“ This b***h is going to be sacrificed,” he laughed mercilessly and I looked at him with horrified expression.

He was going to kill me..
