The Supreme Alpha

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

- - -

A big burden fell off my chest when Zoe didn't freak out because I lied to her for nearly a decade.

I was aware that this was not full forgiveness. Zoe will come back to this, whenever our past gets brought up, she will remember and give me a round of scolding, but she didn't cut me off completely, and I was ready to roll with it. I will take Zoe's anger versus Zoe's rejection anytime.

She accepted to take the DNA test, and I knew that will help to erase the last bits of reluctance from her mind related to us being mates.

I can contain my madness until the results of the DNA tests come out. It shouldn't be more than a few days, at most.

I was confident that I can wait but then she kissed me, and I realized that holding back will be more difficult than I imagined. Zoe was sweet and inviting, and every part of her was welcoming, made for me. Did she feel the same about me?

More than once, we broke the kissing frenzy to talk, but after a minute, her lips were back on mine. I didn't mind it, but I knew that I would need to rub it off when we go back to the villa or risk a serious case of blue balls in the morning.

Zoe's movements were bolder by the minute and my desire to jab myself inside her was driving me insane, but I chanted that if I do that, I will hurt her, and I really wanted our first time to be romantic.

I will plan for a dinner, a movie, dancing, candles, roses… the works. I want to treat her like a queen because that's who she is to me. My queen.

Zoe's arms were around my neck, and she fisted my hair as her hot breath splashed close to my ear. I was holding her firm ass while thrusting with my hips for my cock to glide between her folds that were hot and… oh, how I wanted to feel her pussy gripping me tightly.

The desire was maddening, and Zoe's sweet moans were out of this world.

To be honest, I had no idea what I was doing and I regretted not watching more X-rated movies.

I was moving on instinct, and Zoe's reaction told me that I was doing the right thing. At least I hoped that I was reading her well and not embarrassing myself completely.

The friction was not enough for me to come, but I wondered if she could. Maybe if I speed up or… I could use my hand or my tongue. I saw that in a few movies, so I was not completely clueless.

"Oh… Luca…", she said breathlessly while gripping me tightly and my heart soared at the thought that I can satisfy her. Just a bit more. I knew it. Almost there.

Zoe stiffened. "Ash."

In an instant, I was lost in rage that swelled inside me, and I gripped a fistful of Zoe's hair, yanking her head back so that I can see her face.

"What did you say?", I growled at her angrily.

How dares she call that bastard's name at a moment like this?

Zoe's eyes were full of tears. "Ash…", she repeated in a whisper. "He is here." Her eyes moved to the right.

I whipped my head in the direction Zoe pointed at, and I couldn't believe that Ash was standing next to the rocks where I found Zoe when I arrived here.

Ash was watching us with his arms crossed over his chest, buck naked. What was he thinking? How long was he there?

I looked at Zoe and the hand that was gripping her hair went limp as regret washed over me. Why did I give in to rage? This is Zoe. I am supposed to protect and cherish her, and what did I do?

"I'm sorry, Zoe. I didn't…"

"It's OK.", Zoe said while hugging me tightly and she buried her face in my neck. "Just make him go away."

...

I realized that Zoe was sticking to me closely so that Ash can't see her naked.

I wrapped my arms around Zoe protectively and turned to glare at Ash. "What do you think you are doing?"

Ash shrugged. "I came to check on you. I didn't expect to see a show. You are not wasting your time, are you?"

Ash is known to be a pain in the ass, but this topped the charts. "What do you want?"

"Don't I deserve an explanation? I mean… you are technically holding my girlfriend. Naked."

This is not happening. "Your girlfriend? You wanted to say, my mate. Right? I'm sure you know what a fated mate means. Now fuck off, Ash. Zoe doesn't want you."

Ash made a face. "Are you sure? I would like to hear that from her."

"Leave, Ash.", Zoe said without looking at him. "Whatever you want to talk about, it can wait until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?", Ash sounded surprised. "But you see, everyone is back from the run, and they want to hear why my girlfriend ran away, and then my best friend went after her. It seems to me that the two of you got it all figured out. Where does that leave me?"

"OK. I get it.", I snapped at him. "You are upset that you are not Zoe's mate. You should complain to the Moon Goddess because you standing there won't change anything other than piss me off even more and you are hurting Zoe. Or are you keen on ruining our friendship?"

"Friendship?", Ash seethed. "Zoe slept in your bed months ago and I know that she was feeling you out. What else did you do? You knew that you were mates, and you didn't tell me. Oh, but you didn't forget to tell me that you are not related so that I can understand the type of your relationship. No wonder Zoe didn't want me to touch her, because she was into you. Tell me honestly, since when are the two of you screwing behind my back?"

Zoe inhaled sharply before responding. "Stop talking like I'm not here! And if you need to know, I slept in Luca's bed because I was upset, and I needed comforting. Nothing happened other than me touching him accidentally in the morning. Maybe I would come to you for comfort if you didn't go all the way to London to pursue your dreams which never included me. Luca found out we are mates only after the blood oath ceremony and until tonight I believed that Luca is my brother."

I was impressed that even with all the rage bouncing between us, Zoe was holding onto me with her back turned toward Ash.

"Do you expect me to believe that?", Ash asked after some time.

"Believe what you want!", I exclaimed, irritated by Ash's hypocrisy. "But don't pretend like you are innocent in all this. Intruding into another person's thoughts without permission is not OK. You read Zoe's thoughts sneakily and you didn't even apologize. And you tried to do the same to me more than once. Don't make me tell all the secrets you hid under the carpet, Ash because you don't want me to open that can of worms."

I exhaled while trying to calm down. Shouting won't help, and I wanted him to leave.

"For years, I was the third wheel and now is your turn. You can accept the reality, or our friendship is over. There is no middle ground. No matter what you choose, it won't change the fact that Zoe and I are mates. Soulmates, Ash. Your hurt ego doesn't compare to that. Now if you have any respect toward me, Zoe, and our years of friendship, leave. We will talk in the morning."

Ash made a face and turned away from us. Before he reached the nearest tree, he was in his wolf form.

I rubbed Zoe's back gently, to comfort her and myself. "He left."

"Are you sure?"

I closed my eyes and focused on sensing the surroundings. He was gone. "Yes, I'm sure."

Zoe relaxed against me, and I asked, "Are you OK?"

Zoe nodded into my neck.

"I'm sorry, Zoe. I didn't mean to hurt you."

I was still plagued by the thought that I was rough with her because I thought that she called Ash's name in the throes of passion.

"When did you hurt me?", Zoe asked like she had no idea what I was talking about. 

"Uhm... When you said Ash's name and I pulled on your hair..."

Oh, this was awkward.

Did she just giggle a little?

"You didn't hurt me.", Zoe said before nuzzling my neck with her nose. "I like that you are possessive."

Her response reminded me of the undeniable fact that we are made for each other. 

Zoe never judged me. She granted me her unconditional acceptance even before we could feel the mate bond. Of course, she won't be angry. 

I shouldn't allow my insecurities to take over and I need to trust Zoe, in us, and in the Moon Goddess for pairing us.

Zoe is perfect. Mine.
