Chapter 4: A Sexy Threat

Alpha Jaxon:

In the darkness of the room, the moonlight slipped in through the floor-to-wall mirrors and perched right on the bed where Emberlyn lay naked as she slept.

I twirled the ice in the drink as I watched her sleep. Her chest rose and fell and  I took one more sip from the drink in my hand. 

She was vulnerable, weak, and human and I was an Alpha incapable of leaving her alone.

My phone rang, and she stirred at the noise. I picked it up immediately and placed it by my ear, simply listening.

“Alpha, they are rogues from North-Dome, they had gotten a whiff of a werewolf scent on her because of the other night.” He narrated as if he hadn't told me the same thing earlier today. It felt like he had some hint of ‘I told you so’ behind his narration.

“Did you get it ?” I ignored what he’d said. I hadn’t marked her even if I so desperately wanted to but she’d basked in my scent. It had drawn werewolves to her and rogues and now it had put her in danger. 

I did that.

“The Lupine Pendant?” His voice lowered as he asked. 

“Yes.” 

“I’ll have it delivered to you before the sun rises, Alpha.” I nodded even if he could not see me.

“Lewis, what’s the situation with Mila Vale?”l

“The bills have been completely settled, Alpha and I’ve had her  moved to a private ward.” She was safe now.

“That will be all, Lewis,” I muttered, putting the call to an end and staring at the woman who lay in my bed. Small, fragile, and beautiful.”

I'd watched her a few more times before leaving her room.

The next morning was a Saturday and when I woke up, the smell of breakfast filled my nose. The chef must have made something special.

When I reached the kitchen, the chef was tidying up and the dining table was set. Pancakes, sausages, and eggs. Perfect for breakfast.

The stairs thumped and Emberlyn climbed down, in my shirt from last night, with messy hair, looking totally tired and just fucked. I bet under that shirt of mine she was naked.

“Good morning.” Her lips were small and her gaze averted as she walked further.

“Good morning, Emberlyn, how was your night?” I asked and watched her cheeks slowly grow red.

“Breakfast is ready, we should eat.” I led her to the dining room, pulled a chair open for her and she gently sat like she was trying to be careful.

“What are you doing today?” She froze, eggs in her mouth, her big bubbly eyes staring wide at me. 

“I have work.”

“At the club?” Emberlyn’s face scrunched in a frown. She swallowed the food in her mouth and washed it down with orange juice.

“No. At DineHart.” She dropped her fork.

“What time is your shift?”

“2pm.” She blinked like she was nervous.

“But I have to be in the hospital..” she paused like she was refraining from talking about her family. 

“Your sister, Mila.” I continued. 

“How do you know my sister, Mila? And last night, how did you know where to find me? Are you stalking me?”

“I know a lot about you, Miss Vale.” That was a fact, I knew a lot about her. Who she was and where she came from. She was my mate, it wasn’t only duty, it was what I lived for.

“We have sex one night and you show up as my professor the next day, save me from some thugs which I’m grateful for and now you know about my sister. I feel like I’m being stalked.” Her tone hitched  and I’d watched the chef take her eyes away from what she was doing to stare at us 

“Come with me,” I stood from my chair, went to hers, and dragged her chair open with her still on it.

“No, we can talk here.” Her frown deepened.

“You follow me or I throw you over my shoulders.” My hand was still on the head of her chair waiting for her to stand.

“You wouldn’t do that.”

“Follow me, Emberlyn.”  My tongue kissed my teeth as seconds went by with her still sitting.  

“I’m still eating.” She snapped but I lifted her and threw her over my shoulder. 

“Put me down, I can walk..” she kicked the air furiously while my hand rested on her bare butt as I walked with her upstairs.

“Screaming will only make things worse.”  I spanked her butt hard while her fist drummed against my back in an attempt to get down.

I reached her room with her still over my shoulder, walked further into the room, and threw her on the bed. She bounced on the bed wincing a little bit.

“Let’s get you freshened up.”
