The Forbidden Alpha

A smile spreads across Olivia’s face and her glowing eyes look past me locked on Gabe. Her eyes trail down his body and slowly drag up to his face. Looking back at Gabe I see a look of utter shock in his eyes. His crooked smile is nowhere to be found and he’s surprisingly quiet and doesn’t move.

Olivia stands up and glides over to Gabe hesitantly. Her head cocks to the right as she stares up at him curiously. Gabe blinks and I think realization finally dawns on him because in a flash he’s got Olivia pinned up against the opposite wall.

He’s got her body pinned against his own and her hands up above her head. He leans his head down to her neck and inhales deeply. Olivia offers him her neck and Gabe’s tongue comes out and licks up her neck.

At that moment a cough behind us has us turning around. Alpha Ethan is standing in the doorway looking at the scene in front of us. I look over to Odis and see a look on his face that I can’t quite read.

Gabe and Olivia are still in their own world oblivious or uncaring of Ethan. I can’t help but feel giddy that Gabe has found his mate. He’s always made it seem like women were just for fun but I know he wanted to find her.

Ethan coughs a little louder, “Gamma.” Gamma Olivia’s eyes open wide and she looks around Gabe to Ethan. A light blush spreads on her cheeks and she looks back up at Gabe.

“As hard as it is for me to say this, this,” she motions between the two of them, “will have to wait until later.” She lets out a little giggle and Gabe lets go of her. Her feet touching the ground she pats her hair down and smoothes out her clothes.

A firm arm wraps around my waist, “What are you doing here?” Ethan asks as he pulls me into his side.

Beta Odis steps forward, “She said she needed to be here, as future Luna.” He gives Ethan a small bow. “If you don’t want her here I can escort her out Alpha.”

Leaning my head up we lock eyes. “Please let me stay for Gabe,” I try to say firmly but. it comes out as a small plea. A small growl has us turning to face Gamma Olivia and Gabe.

Gabe turns to look at her and she blushes. “Sorry, I don’t know what came over me,” she says with a shaky voice.

Ethan turns to Odis, “It’s okay, she’ll stay.”

“Shall we begin?” Beta Odis asks with hooded eyes.

We all find our seats except for Alpha Ethan. Odis is seated by the head of the table and he looks at Olivia as if waiting for her to take her seat. Gabe is sitting across from them at another table.

Ethan whispers in my ear, “You can stay as long as you stay quiet.” He doesn’t look for reassurance or ask if I agree before he takes his seat at the head of the table. Olivia walks over and takes a seat by Odis, her eyes never leaving Gabe.

I walk over and sit next to Ethan trying to calm my nerves. Alpha Ethan looks at Gabe, “I asked you here today as a witness of what happened last night,” Ethan says without looking at me. I drop my head in shame. “Alpha Joshua and his Luna will be here in a few minutes with their Beta and their pup.” My eyes search Ethan’s face for answers but I don’t get any.

Gabe looks Ethan in the eyes, “I will tell them the truth of what happened. I have to do something to help Ady.” Gabe’s eyes flit to me and he gives me a small smile. “I knew… something was going on between them and I didn’t say anything. I’m partially to blame for what happened last night Alpha. When the trial is over, I will take whatever punishment you see fit.”

I can’t stop the gasp that tumbles from my lips and I look to Ethan. I would think him uncaring if I didn’t see the muscles in his jaw twitch. He’s upset and I’m scared of what that means for Gabe.

“It wasn’t-” I start but am cut off when Ethan shoots me a look. When I look at Beta Odis he shakes his head. I swallow the painful lump in my throat and look at Gabe.

“I think that we should ask him what happened,” Olivia says. There’s a tremor in her voice, fear for her newfound mate. “Or go over what he plans to say,” she says a little more firmly.

Ethan looks to Gabe, “Where were you?”

Gabe’s eyes drop to the desk and he lets out a breath. “I was with Sasha,” he says his eyes focused on Alpha Ethan. I hear a pained cry coming from Olivia but I can’t stop looking at Gabe.

“We snuck into one of the bathroom stalls and she was giving me head. When we were finished, we walked back to the dance floor. That’s when I noticed that I couldn’t find Ady,” Gabe says. His voice cracking a little towards the end when he said my name. “I promised her I would be by her side tonight but I let temptation sway me.”

He closes his eyes before continuing, “I searched for her when I saw Alpha Ethan going outside so I followed him. When we got outside, I found us in the gardens, and I scanned the area… That’s when I saw Ady looking at the moon and Alp-Shane was on the floor. He stood up and grabbed her chin, when he pulled his cock out, Alpha Ethan roared and pulled him off. I went straight for Ady, she was almost completely naked, and I ripped my jacket off. I called her name and it was like she didn’t hear me… didn’t see me.”

Gabe stops talking but keeps his eyes on the desk. My eyes flicker to Ethan, he isn’t looking at me. I didn’t notice that tears were falling from my chin. “I plan on saying the same thing when Alpha Joshua gets here and I’ll repeat the same thing when Shane is put on trial.”

The door opens and in walks, Alpha Joshua and Luna Rose followed by Mavy.. Mavy looks up and when our eyes lock my heart drops.
