Chapter 4

 **His Punishment**

Alpha's Stubborn Mate

        Alpha Andrew's P O V

I stood at a corner outside trying to calm myself down. I was still thinking on the fact that moon goddess gave me a stubborn ass like Karen as a mate.

Mika walks up to me, he stretched his hand to me, offering me a cigarette stick.

I received the already lit cigarette and fixed it in between my lips, I puffed in the smoke, before puffing it out again. It didn't take time before I started calming down.

"You know you shouldn't judge the moon goddess, she knows best and right now, Karen is the best option for you, you are attracted to her before now, it will only make things easier for you" Mika says.

"How?" I scoffed at his words.

"Well, if she wasn't your mate. Let's say your mate turned out to be someone else, of course you'll love your mate right away but...you'll still feel a bit attracted to Karen which is very bad" he explains.

"That won't happen Mika. Nothing like that will happen, I won't continue feeling anything for her once I found my mate" I shake my head in refusal.

Mika chuckled a bit.

"You are acting as if I don't know you anymore, Andrew. We have been together since we started walking, Andrew. If not for one thing I'd said that you were already in love with her a long time ago" Mika insisted.

I scrunched my face together at his words.

"You know you are a bit annoying, Mika" I says.

"You tell me that all the time, I think annoying should be added to my name, probably as a nickname the way your Luna bears stubborn as her nickname" Mika sniggered as he says.

I rolled my eyes at him before puffing in smokes from the cigarette again.

"Oh! Here she comes, our lovely Luna. Our lovely queen Luna, all hail the stubborn..." Mika was still saying in a mocking tone when I turn to glare at him. He kept quite immediately.

I watched as Karen approaches us. Coming really closer, I take in her scent again and it turns my system. I wanted to grab her, pull her inside my car, naked her, mark and mate her without wasting of much time but I held myself.

I can't just do it right now. This stubborn girl is making me have double thoughts. Should I delay everything until she is matured enough or I should just do it now, do it immediately? I kept thinking.

She places her hands on my broad chest, her head follows. I kept watching her.

She wanted to pinch my nose together but I half yelled at her to stop, she stops but pinch my nose together after some minutes.

That's it! She's too stubborn. I've had enough of her cute stubborn behaviors.

What? Did I just think that way? Cute? What cute?

I slammed her body against the wall immediately.

Mika gave us a knowing cough before leaving to stand a few step away from us.

She talks garbage about kissing her and all but I know that she is drunk. She is acting weirdly due to the strong alcohol made for Lycans she took.

Why on Earth will the bartender serve Karen such drinks? Karen hasn't even turned 18 and yet she is being served such drinks.

She faints on me after a while of ranting nonsense. I carry her gently on my shoulder, moved to my car before placing her on the backside.

Mika notice me, he walks towards me immediately.

"Make sure the bartender that served her a Lycan drink get fired" I say to Mika deadpanned.

"Also inform her friends that I'm taking her home" I adds as I got into the vehicle.

"Ok" Mika replies going to the driver's side to sit down beside my driver.

I sit with Karen, her head placed on my legs.

The driver ignited the car before driving into the streets.

Karen started speaking nonsense minutes into the road.

She kept turning and turning, almost falling, I kept adjusting her, making sure she doesn't fall off my legs and the car sit.

She suddenly snaps her eyes open. She looked at me then gasped.

"Alpha Andrew?? Oh my sweet delicious handsome Alpha! You are so cute. Do you know that?" She asks sleepily.

Mika chuckled, trying hard to suppress his laugher at Karen's sudden outburst.

I frown at her behaviour but I know that it's due to the powerful drink she took.

She wraps her arms around my waist, bringing her face closer and closer to my abdomen. I try stopping her from moving so close.

The fuck! She is giving me a hard on. But she insist and only tightened her arms around my waist.

I allow her after I realized I couldn't do a thing anymore.

Silence follows. But after about 10 minutes again, she unwrap her arms around me, sat up. She acted so fast, it confused me.

She started tapping me and also starts tapping at the door.

She tried opening the door but couldn't, she wasn't even doing it rightly.

In realization at what she was up to, I immediately asked the driver to stop driving, I open the door for her. She ran outside, released all the content inside her mouth on the floor.

I rubbed my temples as I waited for her. She finished puking but remained outside.

I look outside and call on her to enter but she remained outside, squatting down with her hands on her belly.

I sigh before getting down from the car, I walk towards her, I drag her up from the floor and started pulling her to the car but she refuses.

Her eyes were half closed. She isn't even awake yet she is still proving stubborn.

I carry her in a bridal style and immediately got into the car, shutting the door behind me. The driver continued driving. We arrived her parents house 15 minutes later.

I ask Mika to carry her and take her into her house. He carried her carefully from me, went inside her house, inside her room, dropped her before coming out.

"Your Luna is truly one hell of a stubborn brat" Mika sighs.

I snapped at him immediately.

"You don't have the right to call her a brat, Mika, I warns."

"Oh! I'm sorry, I don't mean any harm, I forgot she is gonna be the wife to the leader of the pack soon" he pleads before getting into the car.

I ignore him as the driver continued driving.

We arrived the pack house five minutes later. I got down from the car and started approaching my room.

Today is messed up all because of Karen. It was supposed to be my day, Karen messed everything up. I can't really believe that she is my mate. What a mate?!

I strip the minutes I got into my room, I enter my tub like pool to cool my nerves and think about the events of today.

They all involves Luna. Karen as the Luna. Karen and Karen.

Just her!!

I don't think I can keep the fact that she is truly my mate. My inner wolf has been fighting in order to claim her, mark and mate her but then I have been suppressing him from coming out.

*You know you are really unfair to me, Andrew, how could you not allow us mark and start the mating process immediately? How could you be so cruel? Keeping me away from my mate?* Davis, my wolf says, a little bit angry with me.

*She isn't ready yet. She isn't matured enough to take the position of a Luna* I reply him.

*Then, you really intend on pretending that she is not our mate till the time she becomes matured enough huh!?* Ask Davis.

*I don't know Dav. I don't want that, I want to claim her as badly as you do. I want to mark her, I want to mate her as badly too but I can't just rush into things* I reply him.

I heard him sigh inside my head.

*Keep claim Dav, be claim* I encourage my wolf again with my eyes sliding close.

***

I walk out from the bathroom after spending almost an hour in the bathroom. I had fallen asleep unknowingly there, it has become a habit.

I really don't blame myself, after all the days activities, even an Alpha like me will feel weak after overworking himself.

I throw myself on the bed after wearing a usual midnight dress, that's the only dress I get to pick out myself. Mika picks out all the dress I put on in the day.

I close my eyes to fall asleep but recalled Karen again. Not that I have really gotten her tho, its not possible.

*Mika* I called mind-linking my Beta.

*Yes Andrew* he answers.

*Have you done the things I ask of you earlier?* I inquired.

*Of course, Andrew* he says.

*Ok, remember this, wake karen up earlier tomorrow. She will be serving her punishment, it involves patron, she will be joining them on that, after patron, make sure she comes straight to the pack house* I instructs.

*Of course Andrew, I'll do just that* he answers before I end the mind-link.

Tomorrow will be a very interesting day for me, as every member of my pack will want to know if I'd really found my mate or not.
