The Forbidden Alpha

Gabe

Alpha Ethan’s Beta opens the door and we walk into the meeting room. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. There’s a petite she-wolf with piercing grey eyes. She shoots me a smile when the smell of freshly cooked waffles fills the room. The black-haired vixen still and smells the air. Her eyes lock in on me and she lets out a low growl, “MATE.”

A smile spreads across her face and her eyes start to glow. I feel my dick stand on end as her eyes trail down my body until she brings them up and searches my face. I don’t know what to say. I never thought I’d find my mate… I sure as hell didn’t think I’d find her here at Desert Moon…. and definitely not in this meeting room. I’m frozen in place as thoughts of what I’m going to do flit through my mind.

The angel with the tight body stands up and glides over to me slowly. She’s staring at me like she’s got a million questions on her mind. Before I know it I’ve got her pinned up against the wall.

Thoughts of where I am, why I’m here have been thrown out the window. I can’t help but lean down and breathe deeply. She offers her neck to me and my wolf, Felix takes over. I’m unable to fight the urge as he licks her neck.

My canines are starting to slide out as someone coughs behind us. We both turn around distracted by the sound. Alpha Ethan is standing in the doorway looking at us. I blink and look over to their Beta and see an expression I can only explain as jealousy on his face.

When I blink again, the emotion is gone, and if I wouldn’t have seen it I wouldn’t have known it was there. She’s got my full attention when Ethan coughs a little louder.

“Gamma,” he demands. 

My mate’s eyes open wide and she looks around to her Alpha. A light blush spreads across her cheeks and I want to see if she’s red anywhere else. I’m grinning down at her when she looks back up at me.

“As hard as it is for me to say this, this,” she motions between us and I feel her press against me, “will have to wait until later.” She lets out a little giggle and I let her go.

“Later,” Felix and I repeat.

When her feet touch the ground she pats her hair and smoothes out her clothes. Fuck. Alpha Ethan said Gamma.

“What are you doing here? Ethan asks Ady.

“She said she needed to be here, as future Luna,” Beta Odis says with a small bow.

“If you don’t want her here I can escort her out Alpha.”

“Please let me stay for Gabe,” she pleads and I feel my heart drop for her.

A small growl has me turning my attention back to my mate.

“Sorry, I don’t know what came over me,” she says with a shaky voice and I can’t help but groan internally at her blushing cheeks.

“It’s okay, she’ll stay,” Alpha Ethan tells his Beta.

“Shall we begin?” Beta Odis asks with his business face on.

Everyone sits down and the trial begins.

Alpha Ethan looks at me, “I asked you here today as a witness of what happened last night.”

The guilt is back and it’s eating at my chest. My heart hurts as I remember my failure.

“Alpha Joshua and his Luna will be here in a few minutes with their Beta and their pup.”

I know it’s hard to follow through with punishment without a witness, especially when it’s between two different packs.

I look Alpha Ethan in the eyes, “I will tell them the truth of what happened. I have to do something to help Ady.” My eyes flit to Ady’s for a few seconds and I try to give her a reassuring 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’ve just found my mate but after my failure, I don’t deserve to be happy. I fucked up. I hear Ady gasp and avoid her gaze. Instead, I look to Alpha Ethan and watch as his jaw tenses and twitches.

I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I feel a stab in my heart but ignore it.

“I think that we should ask him what happened,” my sweet mate says. There’s a tremor and I know she fears for me. “Or go over what he plans to say,” she says firmly.

“Where were you?” Alpha Ethan asks but I can see the blame in his eyes.

Ashamed, I can’t bear to look at my mate, I dropped my eyes to the desk and exhale. “I was with Sasha,” I say and raise my eyes back up to look Alpha Ethan in the eyes.

I hear and can almost feel the pained cry coming from my mate and I can’t look her in the eyes. I know Sasha gets around so I’m sure everyone at this pack knows. I hate that I haven’t even had a conversation with my mate and already I’ve hurt her.

“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,” I say unable to hide the emotion and my voice cracks.

“I promised her I would be by her side tonight but I let temptation sway me.”

Don’t pussy out now. “I searched for her when I saw Alpha Ethan going outside, 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.”

I’ll never forgive myself. “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 swings open, Alpha Joshua and Luna Rose walk in, followed by Mavy. I can’t focus on Mavy and her pain. I have to focus on Ady.. I won’t let her presence here distract me from helping Ady.
