The Three Alphas (Part 3)

“Master, the representative of Alpha Arthur Blackstone is waiting in the guest room.”

Gale and Soma were alerted immediately, they stood up from their seat and looked at each other.

“This is bad, we need to hide her somewhere.” Soma tried to go to Sky’s room, but he abruptly held his hand.

“Make sure you erase her scent, you know what I mean, right?”

“Yes, give me ten minutes.”

“Bernard will accompany the three of you to our secret hideout, I will try to stall the pursuer, hopefully, he will take the bait.”

They parted ways as Gale needed to stop the pursuer, and Soma needed to hide Sky from them. Gale fixed his suit and put a façade over his concerned expression, he kept smiling at the pursuer who consisted of three men who looked more like a wrestler than a representative. He knew, that Alpha Arthur tried to give him a sense of authority by sending his powerful pursuer.

He took a seat, and still with his fake smile adorning his face, Gale looked into one of the representatives. “I am Alpha Gale Crimsonite, the Alpha of this territory, may I ask your business here?”

“We came to ask your permission to go inside your territory, our Alpha has lost one of the women who was supposed to enter his harem, today… Sadly, another Alpha came and kidnapped her, a witness saw the Alpha entering your territory.” The representative was not even sorry for intruding, and his voice was more demanding than asking for help.

With a slight disgust, Gale's fake smile disappeared and a cold stare came from his beautiful chiseled face. “So, you come here, unannounced, with this brute bunch, going to demand me to open my territory for you? Are you playing with me right now?”

The three of them feel the sense of a change in the room, Gale is releasing his Alpha power, as he calmly sits on his seat, but his eyes stare menacingly at the three representatives. He hates to use his power and always opts to use another resource, but this time, he felt it was necessary.

“Alpha… Please… We came here… We… We were just following orders…” The representative who spoke to Gale before, finally pleaded to Gale, as he felt so hard to breathe like all of the air around them was gone.

Gale still looking at them with his eerily calm persona, “Now, can you please ask me with more sense of respect, rather than being rude to me?”

The three of them nodded their head, while they were still trying to breathe. Gale put off his power and poured some wine into the glass, he turned his head towards the three representatives and this time his fake smile appeared once again. “Wine, everyone?” Said the Alpha to the representatives.

He gave them the wine, as the three representatives reluctantly sipped into the drink. Gale glanced at the clock on the desk, five minutes more and he will be giving the boot to this annoying representative.

“We… We are very sorry, my lord, all of us forgot our place.” Said the rude representative, as the three of them bowed deeply to Gale.

Yawning, Gale asked them to go back to their seat, and asked for more details of their story, although he just wanted to buy some time for Soma and the others. “So, tell me how come you lost a mere girl, right under your Alpha’s nose?”

He tried to listen to the boring made-up story of the representatives, hoping that Soma and the others already arrived safely at the hideout. When Gale looks upon his trusted Beta and also Butler, Bernard, he knows they have successfully hidden Sky in the hideout. Gale then gave his permission to search his entire mansion, with his own three representatives to make sure they don’t go too far.

Three hours went by, Bernard knocked into Gale's study room. He was in the middle of reading a book waiting for the pursuer to give up and went back. He turned his attention to Bernard. “I assume the pests are finally gone from our territory?”

“Yes, master, our guards already sent them away, I made another precaution by sending a spy, they went back to their territory, as they should.” Bernard gave him details, while Gale put the leather cover book back into the shelf.

“Then, I need to go and see her, and Bernard, I want you to double the guard for a while,” Gale commanded his butler as he walked away to meet with Sky and the others.

The hideout is an area within Gale’s mansion, the underground room comes with all of the amenities that people need in case of an emergency. A king-size bed, a mid-size television and sofa, an ample-sized bathroom, not to mention a mini kitchen, and shelves filled with long-lasting food. Sky couldn’t believe her eyes, as she looked around the vast room.

“So… Alpha Gale Crimsonite is a doomsday prepper…” Muttered Sky.

Payne and Soma shared a glance and both of them snickered when they heard her muttering about Gale’s hideout.

“Well, you can say that, but all of the Alpha mansions have some kind of arrangement, I have it in my mansion in Tokyo as well.” Soma took a step closer to her, his hand slowly caressing her face. “I am sorry that I need to bind you, before.”

“Fine! I am safe now, so can you just release me?” She raised her hands and got shackles with glittering metal, Soma put her in shackles by his mysterious magic, and not only did he bind her, but he also gave her a chaste kiss on her lips.

Sky couldn’t forget how Soma’s mouth touched hers, another feeling that she never felt before, even though it was a short kiss, it was unforgettable for Sky. The feeling of another lips touching her, a musk aroma and a bit flowery engulfed her nose, somehow the scent lingered on her.

“It was necessary to put you in shackles, you probably will slap me if I kiss you first.” Said Soma with a grin on his face.

“Well, of course, I will, what do you think of me?! Accepting a kiss from a stranger!” She felt insulted by how easily Soma put his lips on her, her tears began to fall, “My… My first kiss! You stole my first kiss!”

The two Alphas were shocked, they never thought the girl never even been kissed before.

Soma then gets closer to her, Making Sky getting panic because of how close his face is. “Wait, you have never been kissed before? Really?”

“Yes! Would you please go away from me!” She tried to push Soma away, but the naughty Alpha just gave her a grin and kept teasing her.

“Oh, such a pure maiden, can’t wait for us to teach you more than just a kiss.” Said Soma while Sky pushed him by putting her hands on his chest. “It’s not going to work, princess, you’re too weak, especially for an Alpha like me.”

“Soma, just let her go, you have to stop teasing her.” It was Payne’s last warning, as he even approached them and pulled him away into the sofa. “Just keep your distance from her.”

Feeling so relieved by Payne’s help, Sky gave him her gratitude, as he released her from Soma’s bind.

“So sorry, Sky, Soma needs to put his scent on you, that’s why he… gave you a chaste kiss.”

“I am sorry, what? Putting his scent on me?” Asked Sky to Payne.

Gale suddenly came, and took a seat on the sofa, “Well, the pursuer is gone, you can remove your scent now, Soma.”

“Oh, too bad, I kind of like my scent in you.” Soma then put his hand on her cheek and kissed her on the forehead. “There… Done.”

“I hope you’re not doing something weird before this, Soma.” Said Gale with a wince on his face.

Snickering, Payne then told Gale about what Soma had done to Sky. Gasping, Gale couldn’t believe what he was just doing. “You sly dog! I never asked you to kiss her on her lips! I mean, put your lips anything on her body is already enough!”

“Wait! He kissed me for nothing?!” Now, it was Sky who was flabbergasted by the fact, that she covered her face with her hands. “No!! My first kiss!”

Payne and Gale then glared at Soma, it seemed they would constantly have this kind of banter if Sky agreed to their arrangement. They took their time to ask the girl again, while Payne decided to make some refreshments, while Gale watched Soma apologizing to Sky.

“Oh, come on princess, how should I know that you've never been kissed before?”

“And it makes you justify the things that you have done?! Really?!” Sky had enough of him right now, and she asked to go back to her room, away from Soma.

With a long sigh, Gale shook his head, “No, you can’t. I am afraid we are going to stay here for a few days.”

A horrified look on Sky’s face, after she looked around of a room without any privacy besides the bathroom and power room. a couple of days, with the three Alphas who wanted to have her as some plaything, “By the Moon Goddess, tell me you’re joking!”
