The Supreme Alpha

"If a she-wolf can't go into heat unless her mate marks her, does that mean only mates can have children?", Luca asked Fynn, and I had a feeling that he was asking because of his and Zoe's situation.

Since they confirmed that Joe is not their father and that they had different mothers, Fynn's answer could be another assurance that Luca's and Zoe's fathers were two different people, before the DNA test is done.

Fynn thought for a second before responding, "Not necessarily. Once a she-wolf is marked by her mate, she will go into heat every six months and that will subside only after she has a pup. When a she-wolf is in heat, any guy can impregnate her. Mate is needed only to kick off her reproductive functions."

Fynn pursed his lips before adding, "I've known a few she-wolves who had a pup without being marked. As much as I know, they took some potions in order to artificially increase their fertility, but… it's best if you talk about that with Tessa and Martine because my knowledge is limited to hear-says."

I shook my head at Fynn. "You understand quite a bit for someone who knows only hear-says."

Fynn shrugged smugly. "I know enough so that I can enjoy a woman without worrying about protection or leaving a kid behind one night of carnal pleasures. That's why when I'm with a human woman, contraception is mandatory, and for she-wolves, it's enough to check if she is in heat."

"What if a she-wolf took a potion?", I asked.

Fynn waved at me dismissively. "No woman will take a potion unless she wants to trap a guy into marrying her. I'm staying away from those desperate bitches."

Luca stifled a laugh.

"What's funny?", Fynn barked at Luca.

"You said that you are staying away from females.", Luca said. "I am yet to see a female you will stay away from."

Fynn's face darkened. "Listen, you shrimp. Don't think that I won't whoop your ass only because you found your mate."

"OK. That's enough." I didn't want this to escalate. I had better things to do, and I was confident that Luca was eager to reunite with Zoe.

"Congratulations on finding your mate, Luca. Prepare your breakfast and make sure to include something sweet. Zoe will appreciate it."

Serina and I discussed sending the new couple on a vacation, but I didn't want to tell him that without Serina present.

We also needed to talk to Ash about all this and see how he is faring. Luca is Ash's best friend and Zoe was his girlfriend.

It would be unusual if Ash is cool about the current situation. He is mature for a seventeen years-old boy, but not that mature. 

I remember that when I was seventeen, Serina and I were in high school. We were not dating at that time, and I didn't come clean with my feelings toward her, but if any guy would dare to think about taking her from me, I would rip his head off.

Of course, Ash is not me, and Zoe is not Serina, but there must be some possessiveness in Ash after several years of dating Zoe. I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid.

I turned to Fynn. "As for your request, I will talk to Serina and let you know what we decided…"

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

I woke up with a raging hard-on and Zoe snuggled close by my side.

Her golden hair was spread on the pillow behind her, like a majestic crown fit for my Goddess, and I took a deep breath that filled my system with the delicious scent of caramel. 

The tantalizing sparks wherever our bodies touched told me that this was real, and what made everything better was that neither of us had any clothes on. How surreal.

Shadow was contently sleeping with the knowledge that our mate is by our side.

Yesterday happened.

Zoe's wolf awakened and she recognized me as her mate. It was nerve-wracking until we got to talk, but after that Zoe blew me away. She is perfect.

I can't wait for DNA tests to be completed so that I can claim her as mine. Forever.

Hopefully, Ash didn't disappoint me and by now everyone knows that we are not blood-related. I don't care about it, but I don't want anyone to give Zoe queer looks. We are made for each other and there is no shame in being together.

Ash. I will need to talk to him.

Yesterday, I was focused on Zoe not rejecting me as her mate, and happy that Ash didn't get a chance to put his dirty hands (and other parts of his body) on her, but now that things are settled, I realized that I will need to talk to Ash. My best friend.

Is there an easy way to say that I took his girlfriend, and he can't do anything about it?

To be honest, I have no idea what feelings Ash has toward Zoe. Is it a crush? A desire to conquer her? Or does Ash really love Zoe?

Whatever it is, it can't compare to the bond between mates, but I'm quite confident that Ash won't care about that.

His ego is hurt, and he sees me as an impostor.

This will be hard.

To make things worse, Zoe will be caught in the middle. She is a kind person and I'm confident that she will do her best to stay friends with Ash. Will I be able to tolerate Ash in Zoe's proximity after all the lecherous plans he shared with me that included Zoe?

Last night, if Zoe was not sticking to me, I would jump out of the river and punch some sense into a peeping bastard. Ash was standing there and watching us, and he heard Zoe's sweet moans. Jesus! I want to punch him badly just by remembering that.

Zoe's guests will stay here until lunchtime, so hopefully, Ash won't insist on clearing the air before that. Until then, I should come up with a plan to deal with Ash, but for now, I really wanted to do something special for Zoe, and I was not sure what, until it hit me. Breakfast!

Carefully, I scooted out of the bed and grabbed jeans and a t-shirt from the closet before tiptoeing out of the room.

I threw one last glance at the beautiful girl who slept in my bed before closing the door behind me. My mate. Gorgeous.

I was in a rush because I wanted to be back before Zoe wakes up, but then I heard Mateo calling my name.

I was relieved to confirm that they knew Zoe and I are not related. Ash did his role.

Then Mateo asked about condoms and before I could say that I have a stash (I bought them last week in London), Fynn said how I don't need them.

I listened to Fynn's talk about how she-wolves don't get pregnant unless they are in heat and my mind started conjuring thoughts of naked Zoe writhing under me as we go raw at it. Damn it! It's like I could feel her wet heat clutching me tightly, and I got hard.

I was grateful that I was wearing jeans, so it was not obvious, but I still stuffed my hands in my pant pockets, to conceal the bulge.

I couldn't' wait for Fynn to end his talk so that I can go into the kitchen and whip a breakfast for Zoe. She will be interested to hear this.

Filling the tray with food was easy because the staff was already preparing breakfast for everyone, and Maria volunteered to help me out. Pastries, fruits, freshly squeezed juice… I was sure that Zoe will love it. While Maria arranged several types of jams next to freshly made crepes, I dashed into the garden to find the perfect red rose.

On my way to the second floor,  I hoped that she was still sleeping.

My plan was to wake her up with kisses and then feed her, and then dive between her gorgeous legs and have some of her caramel for dessert. I really wanted to hear her moan my name again.

The best way to start the day!

I wondered if Zoe is awake.

I focused in the direction of the room and my stomach tightened when I sensed two presences. Zoe was not alone. Who would come to my room this early?

My steps turned into a run, and I skidded to a stop, nearly toppling the things that were on the tray in my hands.
