Alarick's P.O.V
The very next day , I wasted no time in excecuting a plan to kill my grandfather.
I let no one in on the details , even my brother, and I tell him everything.
The less he knows about this , the better.
I took off my shirt and ditched my work pants, leaving me in only my boxers. These suits can be so suffocating at times, it's best that I work comfortably.
The one thing about my grandfather is that he had lots of enemies.
Who sat on Counsel and didn't ?
After all these years , they have all dealt with assassination attempts.
Would it really be so suspicious if one of them finally fell through?
I had it all in place .
The man I would pin it on, my grandfathers cause of death, and how I would keep my name away from it all.
It was imperative that I came out clean in all of this .
The elders would suspect me, considering how quick I would step in to take my grandfathers place, but there would be no proof for them to blame me.
I had just the man to take the fall, and what made things better , was that he was willing to take the blame for it all.
Hector Guerrero.
What surprised me the most about this man is the fact that he's a human.
Although he's dedicated his life to killing my grandfather, he's a man I truly took pity on.
Any man of his means wouldn't rest until the man who slaughtered his entire family was in the ground.
Hector was a man who held official rank amongst humans. He was a spy who aided the U.S government in whatever affairs they were active in.
He was a highly trained individual, however his only downfall was that he could never track one of us down.
He knew we existed , he was just smart enough to keep that information to himself.
A man loses his family and then starts rambling about warewolves , he would be sure to be put in a nut house.
I respected Hector for how stoic he was for a human.
No one had to know that I aided Hector in getting his revenge.
The weapon was simple.
A poisoned bullet with a sniper that was untraceable .
There's only one thing that can kill a wolf, and that's Cursed Wolf's Bane.
Years ago , a young Witch had taught me the magic it took to concoct such a thing.
There was no other magic in this realm strong enough to reverse it.
I had everything already in place .
The handoff , my alabi , and my scheme on how I would acquire a seat on the Royal Council.
My plan was bullet proof , now all I had to do was wait.
Suddenly… there was a small knock at the door.
It was Esmira, I could smell her captivating scent through the door.
"Come in." I stated as I began to put paper work away.
She peeked around the door and shyly walked up to my desk.
Her face immediately flushed at the sight of my half nakedness.
Cute. I thought.
She was wearing a thin cotton pajama set that I had bought her. A semi tight , spaghetti strapped shirt- tight enough to see the outline of her nipples. And loose cotton shorts that fell at her mid thigh.
She seemed like she was about to ask me something, it made me wonder if her outfit choice was an attempt to manipulate me into doing what she asks…
Just as quick as the thought came , it left. She was far too innocent to even think of something like that.
To be fair , all the night clothes I bought for her were on the skimmpy side.
This is probably one of the most modest sets in her collection now that I think about it..
"May I take flight tonight?" she asked quietly.
I thought about it for a second.
If humans saw her , it would cause havoc. Although night is approaching, she's unfamiliar with the forests here. Human activity is high in this area. It would be risky.
My wolf became restless at the thought of her getting hurt.
"No." I grumbled
"B-But you said…"
I cut her off.
"I know what I said." I growled.
She put her head down and pouted.
Leaning back in my chair , I beckoned her over to me.
"Come here." I spoke.
She shuffled her way towards me and I pulled her so that she was sitting on my lap.
She looked away , avoiding eye contact with me.
"My decision is final Esmira. You wouldn't want to be punished again for your disobedience would you?" I whispered softly into her ear.
She immediately became flustered at the thought and leaned away from me by pushing her hand softly against my chest.
"No Alpha, I-I didn't mean to disobey." She whined.
I admired the dark beauty that continued to pout in my lap.
Her honey brown eyes will be forever engraved in my mind. She's all I can ever think about.
It takes all my power not to take her where she is.
Her nature, her beauty, and her body were all so tempting.
I leaned in towards her and breathed in her addicting scent.
I placed small intimate kisses all along her neck.
I could still feel her push me away with her hand , and to be honest- I hated it.
The time we've spent together, she resists all intimacy from me. I respect her wishes of not going all the way because I don't want her to feel violated by me. But to be honest my patience was running extremely thin.
The need to consummate our marriage began to consume me.
I grabbed her hand firmly from my chest and growled.
She whimpered in fear and looked up at me, waiting for what was to come next.
"You belong to me Esmira. Mine to kiss, hold, cherish and fuck." I whispered into her ear.
"I don't know why you continue to fight what the mate bond has us both fated to. Most mates seal their bond on the first night of meeting each other. Why do you resist me?" I asked.
"I-I'm scared." she whispered.
I stroked a long piece of her curly hair, wrapping it around my finger , gently as I hummed in disapproval.
"You don't trust that I will take care of you in bed?" I asked as I continued to kiss along her neckline.
"I-I don't know." She whispered.
Her eyes were closed as I continued my gentle assault.
My kisses traveled lower as I reached her breasts.
I slipped the thin tank top she had changed into earlier off of her shoulder, exposing one of her full breasts.
She immediately became embarrassed and covered herself.
"Stop that." I growled
My Alpha tone rang through my voice. She had no choice but to listen.
She continued to whine and whimper in my lap as I continued to please her body.
I licked and sucked her nipple gently, making her impossibly more hot in my lap.
"A-Alpha please.. No" She whined.
I continued anyways while squeezing her thigh.
"You tell me no, but i'm sure if I were to pet your pussy right now, it'd be telling a different story." I whispered to her
"n-no , it would not!" she protested.
I couldn't help but for a chuckle to escape my lips.
I adjusted her in my lap, forcing her to straddle me.
My hard on buried itself into her soft cunt.
I gripped her thighs and gently rocked her back and forth against my stiff cock.
"Your telling me your not aching down there? That your not wet and swollen? hmm?" I teased.
She shook her head no as she continued to deny her feelings for me.
"You know… I can't stand liars…" I trailed off .
"And you know how I know your lying babygirl?" I spoke softly.
"I'm not!" she continued to lie.
"Then how come I can feel you seeping through my boxers?" I taunted.
I helped her off of my lap , revealing the wet spot that was left behind.
She covered her face in embarrassment.
White iridescent tears flowed down her face as she cried.
A ping of pain touched my heart. Watching her cry did something to me. It surprisingly made me feel bad about myself.
"I don't like how you tease me." She cried.
"I-It makes me feel things I don't understand. I want to give into the feeling , but I can't." She cried .
"Belonging to you is something that terrifies me." She finished.
Something in me cracked hearing her express that to me. it's the most she's ever opened up ever since we've met.
My heart softened.
I stood up from my chair and towered over her.
an overwhelming sense of protectiveness washed over me in that moment.
I believe in this moment- was the moment that I realized how fragile she was .
The true innocence that possessed her.
finding out how deep her naïvety ran was almost shocking.
This was a moment that I would never forget .
Internally I vowed to always protect her.
This world didn't deserve her , it was too cruel.
I cupped her face and kissed her on her forehead .
She looked up at me with a curious look on her face . I understand how she'd be even more confused at this point.
"Let's go for a walk tonight instead." I suggested.
