The Forbidden Alpha

Adea

I’m standing holding the door open staring at the Beta. Did I hear him right? Korra squeals and bounces around my mind. “Why would I pack?” This can’t be right.

He walks in and scans the room finding Gabe and Nikki on my bed. “I have orders to take you to your new room,” Odis says politely. He’s wearing a dark grey suit and it looks nice but out of place. It’s the weekend and he’s wearing a suit. Focus Adea, he’s making you move rooms, now is not the time to be wondering why he’s wearing a suit.

“Where are you taking her?” Nikki asks Odis. Her eyes are red from crying.

“Alpha Ethan wants her to move to her new room. Since she won’t be going back, she will be staying here. This room is for guests.”

I look at Gabe and his expression is calm like he knew this was going to happen. “I’ll help Ady,” he says standing up.

Gabe grabs my suitcase and starts pulling my clothes from hangers, my nerves are wreaking havoc with the idea of where I could be moving. If I’m not considered a guest anymore… and Ethan’s the Alpha… they wouldn’t possibly… “But they would, wouldn’t they?” Korra says unable to hide the excitement in her voice.

“Is he moving me to his room?” I ask Odis quietly.

Odis stares at me, contemplating his words before he speaks. “Yes, you will be his Luna. It’s normal for mates to live together when they find each other,” he says.

We had brunch this morning but I’m worried. I don’t really know him or anything about him. We wait in awkward silence, and Nikki is still sitting on the bed deep in thought.

“Can’t you see he won’t hurt us?” Korra asks.

“It doesn’t matter if he’s our mate or that he was nice to us this morning. We don’t know him Korra and we don’t know how he is when he’s angry. So yes, I’m worried about sharing a room with a complete stranger,” I say. I’m clearly upset and I don’t see why she can’t see where I’m coming from. She’s supposed to be on my side but when it comes to him she’s definitely not.

When everything was packed, I looked at Nikki. “I’m going to take my stuff upstairs, I can come to you when I can…”

“If you need help, ring me. I may be human but I’ll still kick some wolf ass if you need me,” she says coming over to me. We hug and I hear her sniffle.

Gabe walks over and picks up my bags. “I’ll help take her bags upstairs and be right back Nikki,” Gabe tells her. She nods tearfully.

I turn to Odis and find him watching me. “Follow me, Luna.” Gabe and I follow him out. When we get to the elevator, the doors open and he lets me and Gabe on first. When we get upstairs the hallway is wider and there are fewer rooms. We walk to the end of the hall where Odis pulls out a key.

When he opens the door, we walk in and the huge is breathtaking. I thought my room was big this room is at least 3 times the size. There’s a king-size California bed next to these beautiful ceiling to floor windows. In the middle of these windows, there’s a wooden curved double door leading to a beautiful deck. His walls are plain except that the walls across from his bed are covered in tall white shelves filled with books. There is a giant chair in front of the bookshelves and a beautiful gold light next to the chair. The floor is covered by a fluffy white rug. As we walk in I peak at the bathroom, it’s about the size of my last room.

“Everyone will be leaving tomorrow but I’ll be staying behind with you,” Gabe tells me with a smile.

This comforts me. “You are? Why?”

“I was a witness to what happened and I can be of help to you and Alpha,” Gabe confesses.

I’m putting him between me and Mavy. I let out a sigh, “I’m sorry to put you in this position Gabe.”

“What? No, Ady. I screwed up. Alpha Ethan has given me a way to make amends. Of course, I’ll stand as a witness to what’s happened. I’ll always have your back.”

Before I can let the tears run, I walk to Gabe and hug him. “Thanks, Gabe. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Odis clears his throat behind us, “We have things to talk about.” Gabe nods and steps back.

“I love you Ady. Link me if you need anything,” Gabe says.

“Excuse me, Luna. Here is my card, call me if you need my assistance,” Odis says and hands me a card from the inside of his suit.

Knowing that they’re both going to leave me here in Ethan’s room and realizing I’m going to be alone now scares me. “Okay,” I squeak. “I’ll see you guys later.”

They head to the door, “Wait… let me come with you.” Odis freezes and turns back to me. “I don’t know if that’s a good idea, Luna. I had orders to help you pack and bring you here.”

I cross my arms and stare at him, “Yes, and you’ve done that. Did he say I couldn’t leave this room?” I can feel the anger bubbling up.

“No, Luna. He didn’t…” Odis stops talking. “Forgive me.” He bows. When he looks up his eyes are clouded. “Follow me,” he says before opening the door.

When we get into the elevator he presses the 1st-floor button. “Where are we going?” I ask him.

“There’s a meeting hall. We’re going to meet Li.. Gamma Olivia. So we can discuss where to go from here.” His eyes cloud over and I look to Gabe. He gives me one of his crooked smiles, “Don’t worry bestie. It’ll be fine.”

The elevator doors open and we walk into the lobby and Sasha is standing behind the desk. She smiles at us as we head down a hallway I haven’t been down yet.

Odis stops at a door and we follow him in. I see Gamma Olivia sitting down at the end of the table. I look back at Gabe but he’s stopped walking. When I look back to Gamma Olivia her grey eyes have turned to a glowing yellow.

She lets out a low growl, “MATE.”
