The Heir to the Alpha
Chapter 16

Scarlett

I woke up the other day still in his embrace, I felt him move, and I turned around slowly, and only then did I see that I was still wearing the same pants and blouse as yesterday.

"I didn't even change my clothes," I said looking down and smiling before raising my eyes and turning to Christopher.

"You were sleeping too peacefully for me to wake you up." He justified it by leaning on his elbow, while he stood to the side and watched me. "I don't mind you taking it off now." He added smiling and I reached out so my lips could reach his, the kiss was subtle, but it was heavy, filled with concern, I felt as if he thought I was going to break.

"What happened?" I asked as soon as our lips parted, still so close to him that I could feel his breath on me.

My eyes sought his but he looked away.

"Nothing for you to worry about, Scarlett." He said sighing, but I felt every molecule of a lie in it.

"You can't keep withholding all this from me," I said back, like an affirmation. "And when I will be your Luna? I need to be up to date, I need to know what we're facing, Christopher."

His eyes widened, I saw him instantly become nervous, and he slowly opened his lips.

"When?" Only then did I realize what I had just said.

"I don't know, yes, almost… But let's suppose so, wouldn't I have the right to know?" I asked back and he smiled first, and then let the air out of his lungs to speak.

"Okay, it's a long story." He adjusted himself on the bed and pulled me to his chest, my gaze lifted to look at him, but he took one of my hands and as he played with my fingers, he began to speak. "In the past, the South and we were all one Pack, which belonged to my grandfather, but he had two twin sons, my father, and my uncle, and they thought it was unfair for only one of them to become Alpha, so since they were born my grandfather said that the Pack would be divided in half so that each of them would have their piece. My father and my uncle trained their whole lives for each one to take over their Pack, but after each one discovered their mate, we can say that my uncle wasn't that faithful." I was startled by what he said and even raised my face to look at him, but Christopher just continued the story. "He cheated on his mate with multiple partners and had some children out of wedlock, ignoring and hiding them, it was something terrible leaving everyone shocked when we found out, he had tried at all costs to hide it, but when my grandfather found out he simply freaked out, he welcomed the children and condemned my uncle, said that a traitorous son was not worthy of receiving a Pack, my grandmother intervened and they came to the decision to leave a larger part to my father and give the less fertile and more marginalized part to my uncle, who accepted, he preferred a small Pack than none. My uncle knew his mistake and honored my grandfather's division, after that, he had my cousin Joshua who picked up the story and always defended his father. I don't judge what's right or wrong in that, but that's what my grandfather did. He always created us all to have complete aversion and disgust for those who don't honor their mates and that was one of the reasons why I despised your Moon mate even more. But Joshua never agreed with Grandpa's division, and since he took over, he started with political implications to try to divide the Packs in half, but that would involve dividing my people." Christopher sighed, I felt it was something difficult for him, when he involved the people it was like it was worse than involving just them. "I spoke with representatives of the region, and no one wants to change the Pack, my trip to the Council was to mediate before them a possible donation of land, to maintain peace, I would relocate the people to other regions and only provide territory for the South, but Joshua disagreed. I tried everything, I tried politically to be as peaceful as possible, but he called for war when he said that." Now Christopher shifted beneath me, which made me sit up, and so did he. He was looking ahead, his eyes showed that his thoughts were far away. "I'll rip his head off if he dares threaten you again."

Now his gaze returned to mine and Christopher continued speaking while holding my hands inside his.

"Marquardt found Bertha a little after midnight. She was hiding in a cabin near the South. Her family belonged to the location that is now Joshua's and she confessed that she sold the information about her pregnancy." His words hit me, I didn't expect to be emotional, but the nurse I had known for years, who I trusted, who I confessed things to, was a traitor, it made me sigh while a tear formed in the corner of my eyes. But he kept talking and what I heard made my heart sink.

"She said something about a prophecy." His eyes were looking for answers in mine, and I didn't know what that could mean.

"Prophecy?" I had already heard about the prophecies, they were old, they came from the Council, and they were like omens to help the Alphas in their attitudes, but they had not been used for years, currently they considered them old-fashioned.

"They think the prophecy is about…you." When he said that, my heart jumped, and I felt my hands shaking, not understanding.

"About me? But how?" I tried to justify it, but I had no idea what they were talking about.

"She didn't know either, but Carl advised us to go to the Council, see this up close, what prophecy they are talking about, and what it is about." I wanted to stay strong with him and for him, and for the baby too, but there were layers of confusion and fear, fear of it being something much bigger.

"Scarlett," Christopher called to me, snapping me out of the mental trance I was entering.

He then grabbed my chin and locked his gaze on me, putting all the intention in the world into every word he said.

"I don't care what the prophecy says, I only care about you and this child. And I will do everything possible and impossible to ensure that nothing bad happens to you. You understand that, right?" He said and I knew, with him I would face the whole world, with the same intensity in my eyes. I smiled, before making our lips collide, and he was quick to wrap his mouth around mine, invading me with his tongue while his hands pulled me towards him. Close by, his fingers lifted the fabric of my blouse and ran down my back, causing all kinds of chills, I pressed my hips against his as my hands went to the back of his neck, lightly scratching his skin, while Christopher dragged his teeth under my bottom lip. He turned me around, laying his body on the bed and making me get on top of him, I sat on his hip and having a fucking Alpha provide me with power was the sexiest thing I've ever felt. I pulled my blouse up at the same time I saw him swallow hard when he saw my breasts on display, his hands were quick to wrap them and his fingers played with my nipples, while I threw my head back and closed my eyes, moaning softly of pleasure. Christopher sat down making me stay on his lap and his face lowered while his lips wrapped around one of my nipples, and this time I screamed, the electric shocks ran through my body leaving me in ecstasy, and I immediately felt my panties getting wet, my body reacted with his every touch.

I pulled on the t-shirt he was wearing and Christopher helped me take it off, it was as if our involvement was instantaneous, each spark turned into a flame in less than a second. He ran his hands down my back, the light touch of his fingers was a caress, it bring me shivers, and it mixed with the firmness that his fingers held me, as if he wanted to trap me and never let me go. He turned me around again, laying me down and regaining control, his hands went to my pants and I raised my hips to help him take them off. I took my panties off by the straps and felt the soaked fabric coming away from my sex which was already ready, throbbing, waiting.

By him.

Christopher kissed my belly and made me gasp as his lips sucked on my clit and a scream escaped my throat. His hands went to my buttoc, pressed, squeezing, claiming him, and then they went up the sides of my body, making goosebumps mix with all that pleasure I was feeling, his tongue enveloped me, penetrated me, and made me moan. every second and when I was about to reach orgasm he stopped, his face went up, but before I could object to the absence of his touch, his fingers touched where his mouth used to be and his lips went to my ears as he said in a hoarse whisper.

"Cum for me, baby." When the tips of his fingers touched me, making circular movements on my most sensitive part, I couldn't help it, the scream that came out of my throat was louder than I imagined, and the pleasure that took my body was stronger than I could handle it.

My abdomen contracted along with my legs, and it took me a few seconds as I tried to catch my breath. I opened my eyes, swallowing hard, to see Christopher with a sideways smile looking at me, the scene provoked me, I wanted to make him feel the same way I was feeling.

I kissed the corner of his lips while my fingers pulled at the waistband of his shorts, I felt his cock hard and ready under the fabric, and my lips went down kissing his collarbone, I kissed his chest, and my hands finished undressing him when I I kissed his sculpted abdomen.

When I distanced my lips from his body my gaze went up, a moan escaped his lips when I stared at him under my eyelashes, without losing eye contact I held his cock with both hands, and when I wrapped my lips under his head he roared.

"Scarlett." He screamed my name, hoarsely and desperately. That was a green light for me to just continue, I felt him all the way to my throat and I was making up and down movements while Christopher moaned with each breath, suddenly, he couldn't take it anymore, he pulled my face up and laid me down while positioning himself at my entrance.

"I need all of you." He said, panting, as he penetrated me, making me scream, and then I understood what he meant.

It was there that I felt complete, unique, fulfilled, and of him, there I felt of him, not in the possessive way it might seem. I felt like I belonged with him, like he was my fucking destiny, what I was born to be. With each thrust, it was as if I felt more pleasure and more peace at the same time. I felt something grow inside me, and with each movement an electric shock ran through me, bringing me closer until I reached another orgasm, I came moaning loudly, and I opened my eyes to meet his, and as soon as our gaze locked, he came too.
