Her Destined Alpha
Chapter 20

RAYHAN

The moment she grabbed the burger and sat back, making her boobs bounce, I wondered what went through that mind of hers… Her cheeks were flushed and the familiar squeeze of her thighs gave it away I had se*duced enough women to know when I had an effect on them… ** When I sucked on her thumb, I didn’t miss how her body reacted to me.

Fu*ck, she’s so perfect. A temptation that I was succumbing to, I felt a rush of pleasure go through me as she inhaled sharply, her heart thudding like a thousand beats of a drum.

A sudden sound from the TV brought us out of our eye lock and she gasped, yanking her hand away, glaring at me or trying to. ”Don’t behave like an animal.” She said quickly, picking up her can. I smirked watching her. She had pushed her sleeves up a little and I could see the runes on her wrists. The urge to take her hand in mine and k!ss those marks was strong. I wanted to know if they hurt…

I looked away and at the horrible movie she had chosen. I know she did it on purpose. This movie was sickening and super disturbing, but if she wants to watch it, watch it we shall. ”So are mates like dog treats to you guys?” She asked I looked at her confused for a second. ”Are all your examples going to be linked to dogs?

” I asked, amused. ”Well yeah… or food….” She mumbled, but I heard.” What I mean is, like is a mate like a treat? So like a dog, you pounce on it just because it’s a treat meant for you?

You don’t even know the person, yet you want them to be a part of your life? ”I never would have put it like that.” Well, I don’t think I’d compare a mate to a treat…” I said, taking a pizza slice.

”A treat is more like a random sexy woman or something that looks good and you want a piece of. Once you’re done, you forget about it and move on.” I glanced at her. She was frowning, but she said nothing, so I continued.

”A mate is more like your world… Something that you need to survive, that without them you feel like you can’t breathe… You wish their every pain was yours, that you could take away all their fears, worries and sorrows.

Someone you would die for, even kill for… but at the same time, someone you can’t live without . Or at least that’s how it is for me.” I said quietly, looking into those startling blue eyes of hers.

I didn’t want to say more, I didn’t want to tell her that every moment spent with her was breaking me. That I was falling for her. She was made for me, but that was not the only reason.

It was her, as a person, that I was falling for in this short time. I hadn’t missed how she had attended to the old man in the diner. The way she had asked for another coffee or sliced his pie… The way she made me feel when she eyed food, the way I could tell when she was deep in thought… and dare I admit, her quirky personality was so cute.

She was known as the witch of darkness; I didn’t know why, but they said she was born from darkness itself. Regardless of all that crap, I could tell she was pure. ”That’s not always true, is it?” She said, quietly picking up the burger and taking a big bite.

”It’s meant to be, but it’s true that there are monsters from amongst us, just as there are in any species, even humans. We can’t all be flagged as the same. I know I can’t force your opinion to change, but tell me, are all witches bad?

”No…” She replied, frowning, ”But most are… I was told when I was younger that the darkness within me influences those around me.” ”That’s a load of crap. They just needed excuses for their own shit. My uncle, the Lycan king, has a dark aura.

When he’s in the room, it’s strong and it’s suffocating. You know, it’s pure darkness, but it does not mean he’s a bad person. He was willing to sacrifice himself to save our kind. If you saw him, you wouldn’t think that. Even Marcel, the rogue Alpha, didn’t think he’d ever help them…. That was what Endora fed him…. and…. I know that not all those rogues deserved happiness…..

But they have been given a chance at a new life…” I felt her tense, her eyes fixed on the burger.

”They will be punished for the wrongs they committed. Not all of them deserve t o be pardoned. But Kiara, the queen, she can tell when a person lies. Those who pay, and those who actually hurt you, will regret their actions could get a lighter sentence. Nothing changes the fact you were abused by our kind, and I will make sure they pay for their crimes.” I said frowning.

I didn’t want to mention it but since it came up… She looked at me, but I couldn’t read her emotions. ”Do you think that will make things better?” ”Not at all.” I said bitterly. I wished it would, but it couldn’t.

”Nothing can take away the pain and trauma you were subjected to.” She didn’t reply, lost in thought and I made the mistake of looking at the TV. Ok, this movie was going to make me throw up. It was the wrong moment to look at it. Ok, fu*ck I’m done. I grabbed the remote. ”We are not watching this.” I said firmly, wanting to gag.

”Hey, you said I could choose!” She exclaimed, placing her plate down as she tried to grab the remote. ”Yes, a movie, not something so repulsive. We’re trying to eat and he’s just given them laxatives, I’m going to throw up.

”I argued, holding the remote out of reach, managing to pause the movie on a very horrible scene. Damn…

”No! I want to watch it!” ”More like you want to see me suffer.” I frowned. She grabbed my shoulder and I forgot about the remote, my eyes going up to her as she knelt on the sofa trying to reach it.

My eyes fell to her breasts, I was brought back to reality when she finally managed to grab the remote. I blinked, tugging it out of her reach, but I didn’t anticipate her strong grip. She gasped as I dragged her forward and she tumbled into my la*p.

She grabbed my shoulder to keep her balance from going face–first into my crotch. Our hands remained around the remote as she now stared into my eyes, adjusting her position as she tried to yank it from me once more. ”I want to watch it.” She said breathlessly. ”And I said no.

”I said, very aware that she was straddling one of my legs. Damn… Don’t think of anything else, Rayhan… Just focus… She looked at me curiously.” Aren’t you trying to win me over here?” She asked. I smirked,

”I am, by being myself, I won’t put up a fake front to win you over.” I said, this time I could see the surprise in her eyes, and was that appreciation? I wasn’t sure because it was gone as soon as it had come.

She suddenly seemed to realise our position and was about to move back, but before she let go of the remote, I let go. She looked at it shocked and I gave her a small smile. ”I may not like this movie, and I am an Alpha, but I’m nothing in front of my mate.

”I said, taking hold of her wrist that rested on my shoulder and caressing it gently. She quickly moved away. I could hear her thudding heart, the intoxicating scent of Ylang Ylang, orch, and that enticing,

sed*ctive scent that made me want to pull her close and k!ss her hard. I saw the challenging glint in her eyes, and I had a feeling she was about to test me.

Well, bring it on kitten. She sat back, and to my relief, she turned the movie off, bringing up the homepage. ”Does your wolf have its own mind? Like in the books?” Oh? Has she been reading werewolf romances? ”Kind of.” I said. ”They are a part of us, but they have their own set of emotions, if that’s what you mean.” ”Shift, I want to see you in wolf form.” She said suddenly.. She sure had a habit of commanding me.

Well, when we get together, I’ll be the one commanding her in the bedroom anyway… ”Rayhan?” That caught my attention, it was the first time she had called me by my name in that tone, and it sent a flurry of warmth through me.

I actually could tell she wasn’t British-born, she had an accent… and I loved it. I smirked. ”Want me to shift?” She nodded, crossing her arms. I stood up. ”Just don’t run like a frightened little kitten.” I mocked. She frowned.

”I’m not scared of you.” She said, her eyes widening at her own words for a second. I simply smirked. Well, if she wanted me to shift… I guess I could put on a little show… I kept my eyes locked with hers and lifted the hem of my shirt slowly over my head before tossing it onto the sofa.

Her heart rate quickened and I smiled victoriously. Oh, I definitely had an effect on her.

I reached for my belt and saw her glance towards me before she looked away. ”Eyes on me, kitten.” I whispered huskily. Her cheeks tinged red as she turned her defiant gaze towards me. I gave her a wink as I undid my belt, smirking in satisfaction when her gaze dipped down…
