The Supreme Alpha

Author's note: This is from Duke's point of view

My wolf howled in joy when Serina said that she wants to meet him.

'Let me in front!'

Not so easy. 'Wait, wait.'

'Now what?', he grumbled.

'Let me think', I demanded. This was too sudden and I had a bad feeling about it.

'What is there to think about?' His impatience was tangible.

'Last time you had control of my body…'

'OUR body', he interrupted me.

'Fine! OUR body… you made a mess and nearly hurt Serina.', I reminded him of the incident as soon as he woke up.

He snorted. 'I wouldn't hurt her. I saw my mate, and those two were blocking my way. Or do you feel sorry for them?'

Well, he was right. I didn't feel sorry for Fynn or Lazarus for the beating they got, but it was still unwarranted violence, and I didn't want to risk it happening again. Besides, my wolf already harmed Serina once.

I could feel his desire for Serina that was drifting between madness and adoration, but at the same time, I knew that he was a loose cannon, and I needed to be careful for both of us.

By now, I realized that while in human form, I'm in charge, and my wolf is just a voice in my head that can project his emotions on me. And there was his Alpha aura that I didn't learn to control, but maybe because it's his, and I won't be able to control it as mine unless we merge.

I was in charge now, however, if I gave him control, I was not confident that I will be able to take it back, and then I will be stuck to watch as he wreaks havoc.

'Are you afraid that she will like me more than you?', my wolf asked mockingly.

I snorted. 'Yeah, right. Serina loves me because I am gentle, caring, and attentive, and you are none of that.'

"Mateo?", Serina's voice got my attention.

She still insisted to call me Mateo and she was not wrong, but I missed the emotions that laced that name when she said it before she lost her memories. Now it sounded bland, and it reminded me that she doesn't remember me.

But I was tired of correcting her and I accepted it as punishment that will remind me of my negligence because this whole situation was my fault.

Just a few days ago, Serina and I were happily in love, yet now I have another person in my head that is trying to take over my body, and Serina doesn't remember our sweet moments. A befitting punishment for my greed.

"Yes, Serina?"

"Well? What do you say? Can I meet him?"

'See? She wants to meet me.', my wolf said with glee.

'Promise me one thing.', I demanded.

'What?', he snapped.

'You won't mark her forcibly.' I could feel his desire to claim Serina as his, and I wanted to ensure that Serina had a choice. I didn't want to give her a choice to find someone else or to leave me, but right now, she was not in the right mindset to accept forever with me (and my wolf).

My wolf snorted. 'You had the patience to wait more than a decade. I am not a patient creature.'

'I don't expect you to wait a decade. But today is not the right time.'

'OK.', he agreed, and I relaxed my mental defenses, letting him come in front.

...

This was weird, to put it mildly.

I was looking at Serina, but there was an invisible barrier between us, like watching a movie and I was not in control of my body.

She was eyeing me for some time before asking, "When will you let me see your wolf?"

"I'm here." It was my voice, but again… it was not me. "Disappointed?"

"No, no…", Serina said quickly. "It's just… I was expecting to see a wolf. A furry creature."

"You said something like that when we met in my mind."

I couldn't believe him. That was MY mind, you asshole!

'I can hear you.', my wolf grumbled at me. 'Stop spoiling my time with my mate.'

'You are doing the same thing to me.', I retorted.

"So… How should I call you?", Serina asked.

"You asked the same question before."

She did?

Serina's beautiful brows furrowed in confusion. "And? What did you say?"

"You can call me Mateo. For now."

Great. First, he takes over my body, now my name as well. What's next?

'Serina. She will be next.', my wolf responded, and I wanted to punch him in the face.

'Any more of that crap and I will yank you back.', I said irritably.

'If you want me to stop talking crap, stop interrupting me. You are welcome to stay and watch, or go back and sleep.'

There was no way I will let him be on his own with Serina.

"Did I ever see your true form?", Serina asked. Before he responded to Serina's question, she was talking again, "I guess it doesn't matter if I don't remember it. Will you show it to me?"

"It's not that simple.", my wolf responded. "To change forms, me and the human part need to coordinate well, or he needs to let go of control completely. Anything in-between will lead to a painful failure, so there is no point in trying."

Great. How am I supposed to rest with this knowledge? What if he decides to change shape while I'm sleeping?

"Can I touch you?", Serina asked, and my wolf agreed enthusiastically.

I could feel his emotions and I didn't want to imagine lecherous thoughts that popped into his mind.

'Dumbass. Serina is a nice girl.', I scoffed mentally.

He sucked in a sharp breath when Serina's hand touched his, and I was not prepared for the intensity of emotions that washed over me.

Even though my wolf was controlling the body, I clearly sensed the delightful sparks where our hands connected, and they traveled up my arm, making my soul hum in pleasure.

The sparks of the bond.

Just that innocent hand-holding made me hard beyond belief.

A rustling sound from the side got our attention (mine and my wolf's), and Serina jerked her hand away.

The bushes moved as one figure peeked, followed by two more.

It was Pio.

I quickly told my wolf that Pio and forty other werewolves are living in the area. They are remnants of the Bluemoon pack. We allowed them to stay here because they have nowhere else to go, and by protecting their homes, they are doubling as our security.

I watched as Pio and two of his men were approaching us.

I assumed that Pio would keep his distance and pretend not to see us.

Why was he coming here now?

Wait!

'Your aura. Did you control it?', I asked my wolf.

'It's not like there is an off button.', he responded. 'When I want to suppress someone, I increase it, otherwise, it's at the minimum.'

I didn't get it. 'If you are not suppressing others, can werewolves feel it?'

'Werewolves have strong instincts. As for how strong instincts are of these guys… we are going to find out in a minute.'

'What minute? Switch with me, now!', I demanded.

'No!', he responded stubbornly. 'I barely got any time with Serina. Relax. I will handle it.'

There was no time to argue, and I didn't want to start a fight, because Pio was here already, and both Serina and my wolf were on their feet, ready to face the newcomers.

"Mister Orsini, Miss Mezzanotte… We didn't mean to interrupt, but we were not aware that anyone will be here, so we came to investigate."

"If you didn't mean to interrupt, why are you here?", my wolf said irritably. He was upset that Pio was cutting into his time with Serina.

Pio smiled awkwardly. "Since we were noticed, if we just left, it would appear that we were snooping. Like this, we can greet you and see if you need something."

"We don't need anything.", my wolf said curtly. "You can leave."

"Mateo", Serina called. "Be nice."

Pio's eyes focused on my form, and I could see his wheels rolling. "Mateo?"

Oh, shit! He knew me as Drago Orsini, and Serina called me Mateo. Because of her memory loss, she didn't know that these guys shouldn't know I'm Mateo Testa.

Did Pio figure out something? The way his jaw fell slack, he definitely did.

Well, so much for keeping my identity a secret.

'We can always silence them. Forever.', my wolf said, and I felt my hair rising. He was not joking.

"I knew you looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.", Pio spoke in delirious glee. "You bought this house and fixed it up and this aura… you came back, young master."

My wolf grunted and all three werewolves fell on their knees.

'What are you doing?' Why was he making this worse?

'They already figured out your identity. There is no point hiding. Now I will make them submit so that they follow my orders.', my wolf said matter-of-factly.

I rolled my eyes. Great. Just great.

My wolf went off the rails and Serina is obliviously standing next to him, without any intention to stop him.

Why did I suddenly feel like a grownup in the room?

But the problem was that this grownup (aka me) was stuck in one room, while kids were outside making a mess.
