The Supreme Alpha

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

- - -

It was shortly after sunset when Luca and I exited the villa and started undressing.

It was quick because I had only a bathrobe on, and Luca had shorts.

Luca gave me a long mind-spinning kiss before taking a step away from me so that we can shift. It was about twenty-four hours how he marked me, completing our mate bond, and it was time to let out wolves enjoy their wolf-time.

I found it difficult to separate from Luca, knowing that he craved for my proximity just as I craved his, but Diana was nagging me the whole day and I promised her time with Shadow after nightfall, so… we had to do it.

It didn't take more than a second for Luca's perfect bare form to change into a magnificent chocolate wolf, and I needed more time, but it was getting less painful.

Shadow waited for Diana to fully emerge, and he wagged his tail in anticipation of their playtime.

The bond allowed me to feel his joy and I was glad to know that he cares for Diana just how much Luca cares for me, but Shadow's feelings had a certain dangerous edge to it. He is an animal, after all.

After a round of sniffing, licking, and rubbing on each other, Diana and Shadow dashed into the night.

I could feel Diana's delight in being with Shadow.

'Is there any difference now that the bond is complete?', I asked Diana.

'We are much close. It's almost like I know what Shadow wants and how he feels.', she responded.

That reminded me… 'Luca… Luca?'

There was no response. It seems that our private mind-link was not working when our wolves took over.

It was a bit lonely, but at the same time, it was an opportunity for thoughts without Luca listening.

It's not that I had anything to hide from Luca, but I was still not fully used to having Diana in my mind, and now Luca was there as well. Sometimes, it felt crowded.

'We would like some privacy now, so…', Diana said, and I didn't need her to finish her sentence in order to know where that was going.

'I got it. I got it!', I responded with urgency and gave Diana full control. I didn't want to know what two wolves will do when they need privacy.

I huddled in the far corner of my mind (or was it Diana's mind now?) and I reflected on the last two days.

As far as I could remember, I was dreaming about having a mate, but I could never imagine that the bond would be this intense.

Every moment when Luca was not touching me was a painful eternity, and when we were close, we couldn't get close enough. It was like a primal urge for two souls to merge into one and never separate.

I felt exposed because Luca knew my feelings and thoughts, but at the same time, I found comfort in confirming without a doubt that his feelings and thoughts are matching mine which helped me plunge into this carnal insanity without reservations because I was confident that I am his only one.

I laughed at my ignorance and at the time when I dreamed that Ash will be my mate. That would be wrong on so many levels. I mean… I suspected that he was fooling around, and if he ended up being my mate, even without overhearing Luca and Ash talking, I would definitely find out about it sooner or later.

Would I be fine with it? Absolutely not. The worm of doubt would eat me from inside, and I would worry about his previous experiences while torturing myself with imaginary what-if scenarios.

Was I good enough? Was he thinking about his ex-es? How many of them he had before me? Were they better than me?

With Luca, there were no such worries.

I was an absolute newbie in this whole sex thing, but I was not embarrassed because Luca was the same.

We took this step into adulthood together, and my heart swelled every time I congratulated myself on the right decision to save my first time for the guy who did the same. My Luca.

...

I have no idea how much time passed when I heard Diana calling me.

'Hey, sleepyhead… We found this secluded beach. Do you want a swim?'

I was excited to see through Diana's eyes a narrow gorge opening up to a small beach nestled between tall rock formations on each side. Soft white sand was caressed by small movements of the Cretan Sea that glistened under the moonlight.

'Oh, yes.', I responded enthusiastically.

When I completed the shift, I was greeted by Luca's glorious naked form.

His hungry stare made my heart flutter.

"Hi, beautiful. Did you miss me?", Luca asked with a lopsided smile while approaching me.

I smiled foolishly. Of course, I missed him.

Luca pulled me into his embrace and his breath caressed my ear, "I can hear your thoughts, but I would still love to hear your wonderful voice."

I giggled uncontrollably out of pure happiness that made me giddy.

"Care for a swim?", I asked.

Luca scooped me into his arms and dashed into the water.

I screamed when he jumped in while holding onto me, my scream disappeared into the water as we went under the surface together.

Since my birthday, I discovered that Luca has a playful side to him, and I was not sure if he was suppressing it so far, or if it was something that appeared after we acknowledged each other as mates.

Swimming in the sea under the moonlight was a new experience and it was amplified by the fact that Luca was right by my side.

We lasted less than I expected.

Luca and I started making out in the water, and Luca somehow managed to swim toward the beach while holding onto me and without breaking the kissing frenzy.

Luca stopped swimming and switched to walking as soon as his feet could touch the ground and I wrapped my legs around his waist while my fingers found their way into his damp hair. With his every step, he was grinding at the cradle of my thighs, arousing me further, to the point of madness.

Do we need to reach the beach? Can't we just go at it in the shallow water?

Luca didn't respond to my thoughts, and he bit my lower lip harshly.

I hissed and jerked my head backward. There was nothing wrong with some pain, but that was not Luca's style.

I examined Luca's face and my head went numb when I saw that his eyes were golden.

"Shadow?" No wonder I couldn't hear Luca. "Can you let Luca come forward?"

He didn't respond and anxiety swelled inside me at the thought that Shadow has control over Luca's body without actually shifting into the wolf form.

I mean, I know that Shadow and Luca are the same, but they are also two separate entities, and I was still not used to this whole two minds in one body concept.

I put my hands between us and started pushing him away frantically. "Shadow, let me go!"

Luca grimaced and shook his head, and I used this moment to get away from him. I stopped only when both of my feet were out of the water, sinking slightly in the dry soft sand.

'It's me…', I heard Luca's voice in my head, and I let out a shaky breath.

"What happened?", I asked apprehensively.

Luca extended his hand toward me, and I took a step back instinctively. In the next moment, I felt grief tightening my chest and I cursed myself.

"I'm sorry…" I couldn't say the rest, but my mind was racing. 'It's one thing to talk about Shadow and to think of him as a wolf, someone who is Diana's mate, but when he controls your body, it's like a stranger and… he is not you… I'm not used to this… I'm scared… I can't…'

'It's OK, girl', Diana said. 'Shadow was just excited.'

'I hurt Luca', I said dejectedly. I really didn't want to hurt him.

"There is nothing for you to apologize, Zoe…", Luca said, his voice barely above a whisper. "It was a moment of my negligence. I didn't expect that Shadow will jump in front. He is sorry. He didn't mean to freak you out. I am sorry. I will be more careful going forward."

Luca made one step toward me, and another one, and another… His hand was still hovering in the air, outstretched toward me as he stepped out of the water, and I put my hand in Luca's reluctantly, the sparks of our bond ignited upon contact, soothing my anxiety away and reminding me where I belong… with my other half.

Luca sat on the sand, and I curled up on his lap. He cradled me in his arms and caressed my back gently.

We sat in silence while both suffering from a flood of frantic thoughts.

"I will never hurt you, Zoe…", Luca said after some time. "Shadow will put his life on the line for you and Diana, anytime."

"I know.", I said. Let's hope it doesn't come to it. Ever.

I lifted my gaze slightly to see my mark glistening on Luca's neck. It was hazy and depending on the angle it looked different, but it reminded me that Luca is mine.

I placed a small kiss on my mark and a shaky sigh escaped Luca's lips.

I kissed him there again and again, and then Luca dipped his head and kissed his mark on my neck. The sensation sent cataclysmic tremors through my body.

Several kisses later, I moved to straddle him, and my fingers clawed his back while I tried to pull him closer.

'My mate. My Luca. Mine.', I chanted while lowering myself on top of Luca, the delightful sparks followed the stretch and the friction as we made love on the soft sand, under the moonlight, reminding each other that we are one.
