Dominating the Alpha (Book 5 of the Avec series)

Chapter Six

    The next week went by quickly, with only one other dream similar to that one for Kane. He was intrigued by her, he wished he knew her. He was just thankful that he didn't itch anymore! 

    The pack doctor came into the examining room and smiled at him, "I see you're feeling better, young Alpha Kane." 

    "For sure, Doc," he agreed, "So I can go back to school?" 

    She looked over her papers at him and gave him a once over, ensuring there were no more welts on him. Satisfied, she nodded, "Sure thing. You can go back tomorrow," she agreed. 

    Kane gave her a huge grin, "Thanks, Doc." Sciath was in the back of his mind, 'Ask her about those dreams,' he snarled. Sciath was interested in finding out if they were like a premonition of what their mate was like. 

    Kane scowled inwardly at his wolf, "No way," he argued. Sciath gave him a wolfy laugh, 'You think you're the first teenager to have a wet dream or two? I don't care if you leave out those parts. I want to know where to look for her,' he argued. 

    "All right, all right," he caved. "Hey, doc, I had a question about while I was sick." Kane did his best to keep the blushing down. 

    She looked up, "Sure, what's up?"

    Kane was blushing hard at this point, "Well, uh, I had a few dreams while I was sick."

     The doctor, seeing him blush, quickly said, "They were from the fever, it's completely normal." She wanted to assure him without causing him too much embarrassment. 

    Kane looked visibly relieved, "Thanks, Doc." 

    She quickly scribbled his note permitting him back to school, "You're welcome, young Alpha." 

    He hopped off the exam table and paused at the door, "I think she was my mate," he said before opening the door and leaving.

    The doctor just smiled, "The mind does crazy things when you're sick," she uttered.

    Bella was outside on the training fields, she was working hard, punching the training dummy. The sun was out but it was chilly since it was only February. She laid a solid punch to the head of the dummy followed by a quick jab to the stomach on it. She continued her assault on the dummy when she heard the all too familiar voice of Killian. 

    "Well, I'm glad that it's a dummy this time and not me!" 

    She turned and smirked, "I could fix that for you," she playfully made a quick punch in the air, narrowly missing his head. 

    "Hey, what did I do this time?" he asked. 

    She sighed, "Nothing, I'm just working out some frustrations." 

    "Want to talk about it?" He asked. 

    "It's," she inhaled deeply, letting it out as a sigh, "Complicated." 

    "Well, sometimes, it helps to talk about it. Even if you don't think people would understand," he turned to walk away, "I'm here if you need me," he assured her. 

     How do say, "I had a pretty raunchy dream or two, and I want to explore that aspect of life?" She would have to look this stuff up herself and get the answers there. She was surprised that she had liked the dreams that came to her with the sexy-smelling man in them. She really liked being in charge of him during s*x. Are there really men out there that would enjoy that? Especially since she was sure that she would be paired with someone strong and dominating himself. More than likely a Beta or an Alpha. She punched the dummy again, this time frustrated. "Ugh, how?" Landing another blow to the dummy, she knocked its head off. 

    "Wow, sis. No wonder you made the elite warriors!" Alyona said she was impressed at her sister's abilities. She knew that she would never be able to fight like her sister. She would certainly be able to hold her own if the time ever came, but not like her sister! 

    "Thank you, Ally." 

    "You okay? You've been off ever since our birthday," Ally asked gently. She could feel it in her sister but didn't want to push the issue. 

    Bella nodded, "Yeah, just coming to some interesting turns." She turned back to the dummy, "Let's just hope I don't make this a habit," she laughed. 

    Ally laughed too, "Yeah, poppa and Bardik may not appreciate it." 

    "Come on, I'm hungry," Bella said, her stomach seconded that with a small grumble. 

    The girls walked off arm in arm laughing and giggling about the latest boy to try to tell them apart.

*************

    Thadius was walking through the forest, he knew where he needed to go. This part of the woods was creepy, even for an Alpha blood wolf. No one wanted to be during the daylight hours, let alone the quickly approaching night. The black witch's cottage was well hidden for a reason. They wanted to be left alone. And unless they summoned you, or you were willing to pay dearly they couldn't be found. Thadius knocked on the simple wooden door. When it opened, Thadius did his best to appear calm and in charge, when he felt anything but. And at this point, he was getting desperate himself. He was still looking for a way to overthrow Troy and become the alpha of this pack. In the meantime, his 'mate' was now looking to make a pup with him and he had to go through all of the 'medication' that was in the bottle in order to keep her happy, too. Not that he was too concerned with making her happy, just quiet. 

    "What do you want now?" The witch asked frustrated, they were getting tired of this lousy excuse of an alpha wolf. He couldn't do anything right. Not to mention, he was even more sick and twisted than they were, and they were a black witch. 

    "I need more of the medication," he mumbled. His head down, he knew that he was asking for a lot, considering he hadn't fulfilled all of his obligations from the last bottle.

    "No, you need to find your real mate," they argued back. Still turning to their kitchen and opening a cupboard to find what they needed. But, they could make this one pay, he was easily manipulated into thinking he was in charge when he really wasn't. 

    Thadius scowled, "No, there is no way my real mate is what I need," he countered. He needed to be in this pack, he could easily take it over, then he could find his niece. That was what he wanted, what he needed.

    "Your obsession with that one is unhealthy," the witch said wisely. 

    Thadius crossed his arms, "And what would you know?" 

    "That your moon goddess didn't give you this sick desire," the witch snarked. "You made it yourself," the witch crossed the kitchen, and as they did, their cloak fell to the floor. Revealing an image that Thadius most certainly wanted to see, she was luscious. Her breasts were round and perfect, her perfect waist and dark curls that went lower made his mouth water.  Thadius swallowed the thick lump of wanting that filled him when he saw the image in front of him. The witch slunk over to him and slammed the pill bottle on the table, "You need to fix yourself," they uttered in pure disgust, their cloak quickly recovering them. 

    Thadius gave himself a mental shake, "How dare you?" he questioned. He was angry that the witch did that, tricking him. 

    "I could say the same to you," the witch sneered. They were about to turn around when there was a frantic knocking on the door, "Oh, for Hades' sake!" they cursed. The witch strode over to the door and threw it open. "And just what do you want, Duncan?" 

    Duncan looked at Thadius then the witch, but left those questions unasked, "I need to know," he said. 

    "This knowledge will cost you," the witch replied cooly. They knew what he wanted to know, but would he be willing to pay the price?

    "Anything," replied frantically, "I'll pay anything." 

    Thadius stared at Duncan, he was happy to see he wasn't the only one desperate for something he didn't have. 

    The witch looked at the two men, devising their own plan, this could certainly work in their favor. "I think that the two you should work together," the witch began slowly. "It would seem that you both have an interest in the same thing," they said. A plan of their own quickly forming in their mind. 

    The two men exchanged a puzzled look, what could they possibly both want? The witch looked at Thadius, "Your dreams will certainly be coming true soon enough," they said. The witch then turned to Duncan, "You will have to work with him," they pointed a finger at Thadius, "If you don't all of your plans will fall apart," they assured him. 

    "But, does he have one?" Duncan asked, in his worried state, his thick brogue accent made it difficult to understand him. 

    The witch laughed, "Of course he does," the statement was said so confidently that Duncan's heart broke. 

    "Who," he asked. 

    Again the witch chuckled, "You sound like that owl." 

    Duncan was puzzled, "Owl?" 

    "Yes, the one that will help us all," the witch replied sarcastically. They knew that it would happen one day, but that the joys would be only temporary. "Anyway, she is not that far away," the witch said cryptically. 

    "Where?" 

    "You're greedy today," they said calmly. "But you gentlemen owe me from the last time I helped you." 

    "Name your price," the two werewolves said in unison. 

    The witch pointed at Thadius, "Your child," they turned then, not bothering to wait to see his response, "And you, you will pay me with the pollen of Saint Helena and the strongest steel you can get your hands on," he replied. 

    Thadius, was shocked at the witch's words, he would have a child? He couldn't help but crow inwardly at the thought. When? How? With whom? 

    Thadius got up and left, he was on cloud nine at the mere thought of having a child, he made his way back to the small house he shared with his 'mate' and took the medicine happily. She would soon be pregnant with his pup.
