Chapter 5

He is not alone

Miguel

The stupor and trance I was in were destroyed by a terrible scream from the woman in front of me. The woman who I had dreamed of my entire life. The golden-haired woman with green eyes.

I know it’s her by the way my insides expand and contract when I think of her. Yet here she was in the flesh.

My wife tensed behind me, causing me to stand in front of her and the woman who has infiltrated my dreams for as long as I can remember.

My protective side kicked in, bringing my canines down. Laura was intimidated by this stranger’s animal, which I could feel in my bones. My animal raised its head at the threat, but upon feeling its aura, it fell silent. My beast, the most powerful in the region, was silenced.

My mind shut down, as this meant only one thing, the woman in front of me was my fated mate. This is cruel, very cruel.

“Get away from him,” she roared, with her canines in the air. Her green eyes were dark green now, like the forest at night. Listening to her, my stomach felt a desire that was hard to understand. For the first time in my life, my cock tensed with just a grunt. Sending the desire straight to my brain.

“Daddy, what’s happening?” my twelve-year-old daughter approached the door from inside, and that’s when I reacted. But when I look at the stranger again, her face was pale, and her intense green eyes returned to the transparent green I had always dreamed of. Without taking my eyes off the stranger, I muttered, “Laura, take Maddy into the bedroom and don’t go out for any reason. Lock the door.”

But Laura, my wife, did not do what she was told immediately, since I could still feel her rough breath caressing my neck. Her fingers kept digging into my shoulder, and her posture remained stubbornly rigid at my side. I felt her hostility towards the strange emanating in large waves.

“Laura,” I said firmly, until she finally released me, doing as she was told.

The woman in front followed Laura’s movements step by step. That inflamed me somewhat since she identified her as prey. I blocked my wife’s figure from view with my body until I knew they were safe. I closed my door and stood in front of her with a threatening posture. No one will come to my house to cause trouble for me and my family, whoever it is. Thinking in her here, for this, woman and me, it’s already too late

The shock of all this did not allow me to see that an audience had gathered to see what was happening with great interest. I looked around and with my Alpha command I told them, “Go home, there is nothing to see here”.

And without further ado, one by one they left, all throwing a last glance towards what could have been my mate, and then towards me.

Finally, alone, I straightened my back, and, looking firmly into her eyes, then I said, “Come with me.” And without giving her time to respond, I started towards my office, which was not far from my house. Without turning to see her, I listen to her footsteps, following me, and then I hasten the step.

Once I reach my destination, I opened the door and enter. I went straight to my desk and took a seat. I heard the sound of the door closing, and I mentally prepared myself for what I had to do. My sight was focused on the figure walking towards me, naked.

My animal and I could not help but observe her figure. She was quite a woman. Natural and unpretentious.

My throat went dry, and it was hard for me to swallow. What was passing me? The control that I had always had at all times was slipping through my fingers, and all because of the woman in front of me. Shit, my pants felt tight and everything inside hurt, since my dick has been standing since I saw her. And I don’t think it’s because of her nudity. I’d seen countless naked women before, and nothing had provoked me this way, not even Laura.

When I finally removed my gaze from her body and brought it to her face, my insides ached. I opened my mouth to say something, but couldn’t speak. This woman in front of me wore an expression of pain and disappointment that I had never seen before. Breaking my soul. Even though we had acquaintances, I could feel her pain. It was open to me, to the point that I could taste it, and it tasted bitter.

My beast roared from the inside, expressing his discontent. It was hers, too, and I had already chosen another in her place.

Her tears that had been contained in the confines of her eyes began to fall freely, until the words for which I had no answer came from her lips, “Why you didn’t wait for me? Why, why?”

Coldly, I knew why, but being in front of her my reasons are meaningless now. Nothing was right, and even my animal knew better than me.

“Why?” Facing my silence, she shouts, hitting the desk hard. I got up and saw her face-to-face, placing my two hands on my desk. I was breathing heavily, and my mind was not in a place suitable to be civilized. She was taunting sensations that I didn’t know that I could feel, and all my calm and consideration were disappearing.

I am Alpha, as such, my dominance and control must be strong. But before her, everything was falling apart. My wolf howled, calling to her. And on the other side, the call was answered by her. The two beasts were in sync, only the human part not.

Taking a few breaths of air, I walked towards the rack that was placed near the door. I took a coat and hand it over to her. She snatched it from my hands and threw it to the ground. While our eyes did not stop seeing each other, she implored me to answer her. Which I did, and without mercy.
