The Rogue Alpha’s Claim

Ariel slowly opened her eyes, a huge smile spreading on her face as she stretched her limb. The soft morning light had escaped from the window blinds, and they cast a golden glow on her face, but she didn’t seem to mind.

Her mouth opened in a content yawn, and she stretched her body, the blanket falling off her body and the cool air caressing her skin, reminding her that she had slept without her clothes.

“Hmmm.” The sheets beside her ruffled, and she turned to see a mass of black hair, tussled and tangled from sleep. Warm hands wrapped around her torso, pulling her closer, and she sighed in bliss at the familiar sparks.

“Good morning, love.” She greeted him cheerfully.

“Morning.” Kane mumbled in a husky, sleep-laden voice, and she closed her eyes, letting his voice caress her. “How was your night?”

“It wasn’t much of a night.” Ariel whispered in a teasing voice, and she leaned closer, just enough for her lips to press on his temples for a kiss. They had been busy for most of the night, going at it like horny bunnies, and they didn’t stop until they had exhausted all of their strength and essence.

“Are you sore?” Kane asked, concern written all over his face as he looked at her. His eyes were darting all over her body, looking for any injury he may have inflicted on her.

“No, I am fine. Yesterday was wonderful.” Ariel reassured him because she was sure he would go into overdrive if she didn’t, and Kane nodded his head in agreement.

He tightened his hold on her, digging his nose into the groove of her shoulder and sniffing her. “You were wonderful and so receptive. I could keep cumming inside if I wasn’t so exhausted.”

“Kane.” Ariel ducked her head, unable to fight the blush that was spreading on her face.

“I love you too.” He nuzzled his face against his neck, and he released a content sigh. “Let us get some shut eyes, it is too early to be awake.”

“Uhmm, I don’t think so.” Ariel reached for her phone on the nightstand, and she tapped on the screen. “Mister, it is past seven; don’t you have some work to do?”

“Surely, even the alpha deserves to sleep in. Today is a good day, and I would like to sleep beside you. Is that too much to ask?”

“No, I think you deserve it.”

“Good. Now get some sleep because you are going to be very busy tonight.” Kane said, cuddling her to himself.

“Okay daddy.”

When Ariel woke up the next time, it was to an empty bed and the scent of fried eggs saturating the room. She stood up, rubbing her eyes to get rid of the sleep, and followed the scent of the eggs to the kitchen, as would a zombie with a human.

“What are you cooking?” Ariel mumbled against his back, wrapping her hands around his torso and holding him tight.

“I figure you would be hungry, and I am making hashbrown and eggs.” Kane provided, and Ariel stole one of the hash browns and took a bite.

“It is really good; who knew you could cook?”

“It was an essential skill for me to learn; otherwise, I risk getting poisoned if I don’t learn how to. Toby is a horrible cook, and Mason is not better. Could you get the coffee?” Kane asked, gesturing to the counter.

“Sure.” She helped him place the food on the stool, and they sat together, eating quietly.

“Lest I forget, I heard you say it was your first time when you were entering me, and it got me curious. Is that really your first time?”

“Yes.”

“Why?” It was crazy to think that it was Kane who was the virgin out of them. He was every woman’s walking wet dream, and he could have anyone he wanted. Why abstinence?

“What do you mean, why? It was my choice.”

“I know, it is just crazy to think that you are in your mid-twenties and you are a virgin. Beside the fact that you are werewolves, I heard you guys are driven by your urges, and you could have anyone you want. Why?”

Ariel looked up to see him as she got no response from Kane; the deadly silence was an indication that she may have overstepped her boundaries.

“Sorry about that.” She apologized in a low voice and continued picking up her food.

Great! She has ruined the moment with her loud mouth and nonsense curiosity, and she would have to endure the awkward breakfast.

“I am not driven by my urges, and I have been too focused on building my pack to care for some females. I have you now, and that is all that matters.” Kane spoke, his words having an air of finality that indicated the topic was over.

Although the reason he hadn’t bothered with any female was because he already knew who his mate was, he wasn’t ever going to tell her that.

They finished eating their food, and Kane packed it up, washing it in the sink, and storing it back.

“I want to take my bath; would you like to join me?”

Ariel looked at him, startled. She had thought he was angry with her, and here he was, inviting her for a shower.

“Of course.” There was no way she was going to reject the offer.

Sadly, the shower was just, as it said, a shower. Kane was already late for his day’s job, and there was no time for a quickie; he had only helped her wash her body, focusing a little too much on her breast, but who was she to complain?

They came out of the shower and got dressed, with Kane in a brown dress shirt and black pants. Ariel walked towards her wardrobe, selecting a light brown shirt and leaving.

“Matching outfits?” Kane teased her as he glanced her way, and she shrugged her shoulders.

“I want everyone to know that I am yours.”

“Trust me, love; they can smell me in you.”

“Really?” Her eyes widened a fraction, a little mortified, and Kane laughed.

“I will see you later in the evening.” He gave her a kiss on the forehead, squeezing her ass, and he left through the door.

Ariel continued with her dress up, running a brush through her hair as she stared at her reflection, and a crazy idea came to her mind.

If she cut her hair low, what would Kane think?

She was throwing that thought out the moment it came. Her hair takes a long time to grow, and the joke was too expensive to try.

Ariel looked at her reflection again in the mirror, and she nodded her head in satisfaction before leaving the room.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She had nothing to do, so she could either join the females in preparing lunch or stay and chat. She was already rounding up the first flight of stairs when she met Toby on the way.

“Toby.” Ariel couldn’t describe the joy she felt as she saw her first friend in the pack, and without thinking about it, she was jumping on him, hugging you tightly.

“Ariel, at least someone seems eager to see me.”

“Of course, I was looking for you throughout the party, but I couldn’t find you. I am glad you are okay.”

“Of course I will be. How are you doing?” Toby sniffed the air, and he wriggled his eyebrows. “You don’t need to tell me; I can tell you are very fine.”

“Oh my, can you actually…” Ariel refused to say the words, mortified beyond belief. She had dowsed herself in a shitload of perfume, but even that was powerless with them.

“Yeah, I guess congratulations are in order.” He smiled sheepishly, and Ariel shook her head.

“I don’t think it is something to be congratulated for, but thank you.”

“I would love to stay and chat, but Kane would have my head if I was late.”

“Sure, I wouldn’t want to keep you waiting. We can catch up whenever you are free.”

“Yea.” Toby called, already halfway through the next flight of stairs, taking it two at a time, and Ariel shook her head, amused, but she continued on her journey.

The sighting of the familiar small lady drew her to the kitchen, where she met Liza along with some women washing up the plates.

“Luna.” Liza lowered her head as Ariel came to her. Luna? That was new, but she was too excited, and she didn’t think much about it.

“Can I help with anything?”

“Sure?”

Ariel joined them in cleaning the plates, but she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched. She turned towards the directions, and true to her words, a tall lady stood, her eyes narrowed in slit, her face set in a deep scowl that mar her beautiful face, and it was all directed to her.

“Do you know the lady that is giving me the death stare?” Ariel whispered to Liza, but the latter shook her head.

“I don’t think so, but I believe she came with the warriors.”

“Oh, because she is looking at me like I stole her man, and oh, she is walking towards me.”

“Hello,” Ariel flashed her professional smile, which always left people dazzled. “Do I know you?”

“You whore, what were you doing with my mate?”
