The Supreme Alpha

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

Now that it was just the two of us, Luca was adorably insecure, concerned if I have any feelings for Ash.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel anything for Ash, but that doesn't compare to what I feel for Luca.

I wanted to assure Luca that I will never betray him. He is my most important person and I will never do anything to jeopardize what we have.

Hurting Luca means hurting myself.

I cupped Luca's cheeks and kissed him on the lips, relishing the delicious taste of apples.

I was satisfied to feel through the mate bond that his insecurities were dissolving as we exchanged gentle kisses that were enhanced by the sparks which formed wherever we touched.

I was happily drowning in the scent of apples and only when Luca squeezed my ass, I realized that I was kind of naked because Luca's t-shirt didn't provide any protection from Luca's wandering hands.

To my disappointment, Luca didn't go beyond light touching, no matter how much the scent of my arousal filled the room. I really wanted his hands all over me. The experience from last night flashed in my mind and I was getting heated up.

At some point, Luca inched away from me with difficulty.

"You are probably exhausted after using your ability.", he said.

My heart swelled. Luca is always thinking about my needs, even when I'm ready to ignore them.

Luca glanced to the side table. "I brought you breakfast."

"Breakfast in bed with my loved one. Lovers who still didn't do the naughty.", I said while smiling like an idiot.

Why did this remind me of a scene with Christian and Anastasia from 50 Shades of Grey? Ana passed out drunk, and she wakes up in a hotel room with Christian who just finished his run. He removes his top in one swift move and there is breakfast. She eats and tries not to gawk at him (unsuccessfully), and he leans over the bed to take a bite of her toast. Topless. Very sexy.

"If you want, we will recreate all your favorite movie scenes."

I couldn't believe this. I thought that Ash can read minds, but now Luca knew what I was thinking. "How did you know that's one of my favorite scenes?"

"I know everything about you, Zoe. What movies you to watch, what books you read." He inched closer and spoke in a low voice. "The only thing I don't know is if you want me to tie you up and spank you."

My breath hitched. At first, I thought that he was bluffing, but now that he mentioned bondage… I am inexperienced, but the idea of being tied up and at the mercy of my dominant lover always turned me on. It was my dirty little secret no one else knew except for me. Or so I thought.

"You sound like a stalker." I did my best to sound cool about it.

Luca chuckled. "I am your personal stalker." He kissed the tip of my nose. "Now let me be your personal feeder. I'm sure you need energy after the stunt you did. Will you tell me how Ash found himself outside in an instant? Did you teleport him?"

Luca was right. I was weak and hungry.

He went to get the tray with food closer, and I pushed myself into a seated position.

Luca was quick to leave the tray on the bed and to arrange pillows behind my back.

I was thinking about how to answer his question. "I'm not sure what my ability is. I will need to practice more and figure it out. It looked like I stopped time. Everything froze. I dragged Ash's ass outside and locked him out."

Luca shook his head but the smile in his eyes told me that he was happy. "Don't do it in front of others. Remember what Serina said, our safety is in secrecy. If you need someone to practice on, I'm available."

I had no intention of practicing anything on Luca. What if it has some horrible side effects? I will discuss this with Serina and with Diana and figure it out somehow. Maybe I can practice in the forest on birds or some other critters.

I glanced at that door. It was quiet. "Did it work?" I was not sure if Ash left or if he only stopped causing a ruckus.

Luca closed his eyes and responded after a second. "Ash is in his room."

"Is that your ability?"

Luca confirmed. "I can sense presence of people in the area. Once I'm familiar with someone's aura, I can identify them. I didn't have much time to explore it. Maybe we can practice together."

I rolled my eyes. "How can we practice together if I freeze you?"

Luca shrugged. "I'm sure we can figure out something."

I was impressed. It would be normal for Luca to be wary of me, especially if I can really freeze time. But instead, he wanted us to spend more time together.

He took a wonderful red rose from the tray and offered it to me. "This is for you, my love."

My heart exploded and then it came back together, with pieces of Luca as new normal. He just called me, 'my love'. I liked that. I liked it very much.

My cheeks were on fire, and I knew that I was blushing profusely as I accepted the flower.

I looked at the perfect red rose and gave it a sniff. My first flower from my mate. Knowing Luca, it was the first of many.

Luca gave me a gentle kiss and then he fed me, and I was sure that life can't get any better than that.

...

Luca and I held hands while walking to the dining room.

My stomach was not empty, thanks to the food Luca brought for us earlier that morning, but if we didn't join the party, our friends might think we are avoiding them and hiding, and I didn't want to hide from my friends.

Last night I got my wolf and my mate and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

While we ate, Luca told me about his chat with Fynn related to the heat that starts after mates mark each other. I knew about the heat and that she-wolves don't get pregnant easily, but I didn't know that mate marking a she-wolf triggers the process which is allowing her to get pregnant.

Doesn't that mean that my mother had a mate at some point?

I wished that I knew where she was. I would find her and demand that she answers my questions.

Who is my father? Where is he? Is he alive? If yes, why are they not together? Why did she sell her body to pleasure men? Why did she leave me?

I was lost in my thoughts, and I didn't realize at what point we reached the dining room.

We stopped at the door and my eyes swept the people present. They were chatting and some had their gazes directed at us. I tried not to read them because if I saw anything weird, it would upset me.

I didn't see Ash, and I was not sure how I felt about it. Sad? Disappointed? Concerned? Relieved? Maybe a bit of everything.

A figure approached me quickly.

"Congratulations!", Cristina exclaimed while giving me a big hug. "You and Luca, huh? I would never guess. I wish you all the best."

I smiled at her comment, knowing that she didn't have a fraction of bad intentions, but in the next moment I saw her hugging Luca and a possessive growl ripped from my throat.

Cristina quickly stepped backward with her hands up in the air.

"Sorry, sorry…", Cristina said with haste, visibly flustered at my reaction. "I was just wishing him all the best. I guess Luca is off-limits for she-friends."

Luca chuckled and pulled me closer to him. "Zoe is off-limits also." He looked toward the table. "If any of you guys want to talk to Zoe, do it from your seats and don't think of getting close. She is mine."

I looked into Luca's perfect chocolate eyes that had some specs of gold in them and smiled. Yes, I am his.

"Are you here to eat, or to show off?", Hugo asked cheekily.

"Why not both?", I responded with a giggle and the dining room exploded in laughter and chatter which told me that our friends accepted me and Luca as a couple.

Ah, life was good.
