AN AFFAIR WITH THE ALPHA;002

Lyra's heart was racing as she stood in the forest, staring at the tall man before her who was also looking at her with his arms crossed over his chest.

What had he just said? 

Married?

How was that possible?

How could the mother goddess give her a mate who already had a mate?

She stood there, just stunned and speechless.

Lyra couldn't believe what she was hearing. 

She felt as if the mother goddess was playing a cruel trick on her, teasing her with the possibility of happiness only to snatch it away just as quickly.

The forest was quiet except for the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, and the distant call of a bird.

The air was thick with tension as Lyra tried to process what she had just learned.

She looked at Lex, searching for some kind of explanation, but he seemed just as surprised as she was. Lyra's mind was racing with questions, but the only thing she could focus on was the feeling of her heart breaking.

She knew she probably was not supposed to care, but mating was a very huge deal for werewolves. It was a once in a lifetime something, not something anyone could make a mistake on.

Lyra's emotions were like a storm raging inside her, tearing at her insides. 

She felt betrayed, hurt, and confused.

How could this be?

Why was she even hurt by the fact?

 It was as if the ground beneath her had given way and she was plummeting into a dark abyss.

She cleared her throat hoping that she could hide, in a way, the feelings pouring into her like waves.

“Well this is a very Interesting turn of events, isn’t it?”

She turned to look at Ava, who was grinning, and she looked all healed up.

Interesting?

Lyra thought with a frown. 

How could she find this funny? Does she not understand what this meant for her as a woman?

“It's not interesting Ava and you know that. Don’t be a child” Lex snapped before Lyra could say a word, “I am married and that isn’t funny”

“Are you really?” Ava murmured with a smirk, looking up at her brother, “Are you married?”

“Yes I am, young lady. Now stop that.”

Ava pouted and rolled her eyes.

“There has to be some sort of mistake somewhere” Lyra whispered, bringing back their attention to her. Lex’s brows furrowed in a frown as he stared at her.

“I doubt….”

‘There is definitely a mistake,” She said, cutting him off, “Because this does not happen. This is not how it was supposed to be”

“The Mother goddess does not make mistakes Lyra, I am positive that just like everything she does, there is perfect reason for this”

Lyra could not believe her ears right now. Didn’t he understand what was happening? How could he stand here talking like it was not a big deal? How could her mate be a married man?

“Reason?” She questioned and took a step towards him, her heart boiling with a sudden rage, “What possible reason could there be for this? You would not understand. Of course, you already have yours. I am a young woman. Mating is a once in a lifetime something so I can’t possibly go out waiting or searching for another mate. And since I’ve been branded, I can’t be touched by another. So really, what possible good thing could come out of this?”

Lex winced at the question. She gasped trying her best to control her anger because this was all crazy to her. It just could not be. There was no way she could be that unfortunate right?

There was no fucking way on earth. No no no.

Her blood boiled and her breath increased and suddenly everything disappeared in her eyes, as she swam in the wave of a sudden rage which threatened to drown her.

She had watched her parents. She had always wished and wanted what they had. That bond between them, which did not in any way fade till they died.

Now she found hers, she can’t have it?

What sort of sin did she commit in her past life to make the Moon goddess deliver blows after blows of punishment to her since the moment she was born?

Get it together, Lyra.

First, she can’t live like the other kids because she had a power no one could explain.

Second, she lost her parents when she needed them the most.

Now she’s doomed to never have a sexual partner.

The rage in her boiled harder, and she did not in any way try to stop it. She did not try to fight it.

Suddenly two hands were grabbing her shoulders almost painfully, fingers gripping and tearing into her skin.

“Snap out of it, Lyra,” 

She heard the voice, the deep baritone that sent tiny shivers down her spine, but it felt like it was coming from a far away distance.

“You are going to kill us all, Lyra, and yourself. Please stop it”

Another voice shouted, desperately and she scoffed.

Kill herself?

She felt great. This was exhilarating in a way, though she had no idea what was happening but she felt like she was free.

She stretched her hands wide and let the rage pour out of her with a scream.

Power…. Power!!

Something she had always considered a curse.

She heard a tiny distant scream of pain, and then a male voice, with angry mutters of

Oh, fuck it to hell.

Then the next thing she felt was cold hard lips against hers. Seconds before her lips were captured in a brutal kiss which sent unfamiliar yet pleasant sensations, spiraling slowly into her, to her heart, then exploding suddenly through her whole body.

She moaned, although her brain could not yet comprehend what was happening. But her body was cooperating just fine.

A wet tongue probed her lips open, searching out hers and engaged in an erotic dance.

She felt strong arms wrap around her waist, and she was pressed closer, against a huge hard body.

Just like magic, she felt the age which had engulfed her earlier slip away, and with every passing second, she forgot why she was angry in the first place. 

All she could think of was the lips on hers, this sensation which were like wild tingles down her gut that she had never felt before.

The shivers as the palms gripped her buttocks and pressed it. And her moan of joy, when that action smacked her middle against his hard groin.

And then the hands were releasing her, and the lips slowly breaking from hers.

With a grunt of disappointment, she brought her arms around his neck and held him tightly, but that did not stop him from breaking the kiss, with a final peck.

She slowly opened her eyes…which she didn’t realize were closed at the first place, and stared drowsily at the face before her.

Seconds later and her brain started working, and the face registered immediately.

Lex?

What just happened?

He was frowning, with beads of sweat on his forehead. His eyes were hard and cold as he stared into hers.

What had she done?

She winced and dropped her arms from his neck, stepping away from him, and then she gasped as she took in the surroundings.

There were leaves scattered around them, like a tornado had passed the place. But it was not.

She had done this. She had. She had lost control, something her parents had always advised her never to do.

Where was Ava?

The smell of blood had her turning to her left and her hand going to her mouth instantly to cover her gasp of horror.

Right there, a few feet from her, Ava was laying, very pale, with a stick embedded by her side.

“Ava!!!” Lex screamed and rushed to his sister, before she could say a thing.

Oh my God, what had I done?
