Daddy’s Best Friend: My Alpha Mate

Corinne POV

“I want to break every law that keeps me away from you tonight, even if the price is my soul.”

That was how it began.

Not a voice, but a restrained roar that tore through Glacier’s throat as he stormed into my room. His gray eyes had turned pitch black, with no trace left of the calm man who had driven me home that morning.

I stumbled back in shock until my spine hit the edge of the bed. He ripped off his dark coat with a savage motion and threw it to the floor. Our eyes met, and my heart shook hard in my chest.

“Glacier… you’re drunk, the smell of alcohol…”

“It’s not the alcohol that made me lose my mind, Corinne!”

He shouted as he closed in on me, trapping my thin body between his steel arms.

“It’s your damn scent!”

Before I could answer, he crashed his mouth into mine with a wildness I had never seen before. It was not a kiss asking for permission. It was an invasion. He devoured my lips with brutal hunger, sucking on my tongue with skill that stole the air from my lungs.

I tried to push his broad chest with my shaking hands, but he caught my wrists roughly and pinned them above my head with his left hand. His right hand fumbled with his tie, yanking it loose as if he were choking, then throwing it away like a declaration.

“Ah… Glacier…”

My moan tore out of me when he shoved me down onto the sheets. His massive body followed, crushing my slender limbs beneath him. He gave me no time to think. He buried his face into the hollow of my neck, breathing me in like a madman before his teeth began to tease my pale skin.

I felt his tongue drag hot along my collarbone, licking and sucking until he left a deep purple mark there, loud and possessive. His hard erection strained beneath his pants, pressing against my wet femininity, soaked by the heat cycle, making my body jolt with a desire I had never known before.

“Stop…” I whispered, lost, even as my hands clenched into his short hair, pulling him closer.

“You’re my father’s friend… this is wrong…”

“To hell with all the laws!”

He breathed harshly into my ear, his ragged breaths sending endless shivers down my spine.

“This white skin of yours is begging for my touch… say you don’t want me, and I’ll burn this whole place down with everyone inside!”

His hand slid under my loose shirt, gripping my waist greedily, while his mouth claimed mine again in a deeper kiss, wet and heavy with raw need.

Three years passed like a lifetime of isolation. Three years since my mother decided to exile me here, to the Silver Stone pack. She said she wanted me to learn how to be a wolf, but I knew the truth. I was a mistake. A hybrid she could not bear to keep.

I am just a hybrid. No one in this world loves me.

I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my loose cotton shirt. My thin body, narrow shoulders, and delicate limbs made me look like a paper girl among wolves built of steel.

I touched my pale skin and traced my fingers over the faded scars on my arm.

“Hybrid.”

The word followed me everywhere. A stain that made me avoid eye contact, keeping my gaze on the ground as I waited for my eighteenth birthday. My great escape.

“Are you going to stand there all day?”

My blood froze at the sound of that deep, smooth voice. Glacier. My father’s friend. The Alpha of this pack. The man I fell in love with at first sight. The only one.

I went down the stairs and found him standing by the car door. His towering height dominated everything around him. He did not smile. He did not greet me. He only looked at me with those sharp gray eyes that made me feel completely exposed.

I got into the car beside him. My heart pounded violently. I loved him so much. I did not know why, but he was the only man I wanted, even though I knew he saw me as his friend’s daughter. A responsibility. He acted cold, as if he had forgotten what happened last night.

Did he really not remember the kiss, his words, the way he touched me? Maybe he thought I was someone else while he was drunk. And I, like an idiot, stood there waiting for him to admit that he felt something for me.

“You’re late for school, Corinne.”

He said my name with a rough husk that sent a shiver through me.

“Sorry. I lost track of time,” I whispered, looking away.

He asked flatly while driving, fully focused, “I heard about the school party. Are you going?”

Before I could answer, the car stopped suddenly with a hard brake. My phone slipped from my hand and landed right between his legs.

Alpha Glacier was hard.

Painfully hard. The bulge was impossible to miss, stretching the dark denim of his jeans.

Wetness flooded my underwear, and a small gasp escaped my lips before I could stop it.

Oh God… even through the jeans, I could tell how big he was. My body trembled hard. I wanted to touch him. To take him into my mouth, just like I had heard other girls talk about. How much trouble would I be in if I did?

Keeping my face carefully blank, I looked up at him. Just as I expected, his gray blue eyes were burning with anger. He stared at me for five full seconds, like he wanted to say something. No words came.

I held my breath. I reached out with trembling fingers to grab my phone. My fingertips brushed the rough fabric of his pants by accident. I felt the hard muscle of his thigh tense under my touch, and I heard a muffled breath leave his chest.

My face burned. I grabbed my phone quickly and leaned back in my seat.

It was like I was a magnet, always pulling Alpha Glacier’s irritation toward me. He tried to ignore it.

We reached the school gate. Lumi appeared out of nowhere, swaying in her tight clothes as she walked up to Glacier’s window, flirting openly.

“Good morning, Alpha. Did you drop off the little one?”

She said it with mockery, shooting me a deadly look.

I took a calming breath while Lumi kept talking to Alpha Glacier. She was not here for me. Thank God. Logically, she would not bully me openly, not in front of him.

My thoughts stopped when she grabbed him and kissed him right in front of me, letting out a soft moan and a playful laugh.

Glacier’s back went rigid. He did not respond.

My chest tightened. Could he have found a Luna for his pack? Would it be Lumi? That arrogant bitch?

No. I wanted to leave. Desperately. But my feet would not move.

For some reason, they were glued to the ground.

When Alpha Glacier did not push her away, something hard twisted inside my chest. I finally moved. I grabbed my bag and pushed the door open, stumbling as tears spilled down my face.

I got out of the car fast. I could not stand her looks or his silence. Lumi followed me and started her daily bullying, but my mind was far away.

Laughter exploded around me.

Lumi’s familiar voice rang out, loud enough for everyone to hear. “Oops.”

I lifted my head and saw her fake sweet smile. She had tripped me on purpose.

“Watch your step, hybrid.”

Her words burned, but I said nothing. I just gathered my things.

She leaned closer and whispered so only I could hear. “Stay away from Glacier.”

Then, louder for everyone, she mocked, “You’re pathetic, you half breed whore.”

Someone shoved me from behind. I stood up, limping slightly, and walked away without a word. Fighting back only made it worse.

I entered the classroom and took a seat in the corner, trying to disappear. When I slid into my chair for the first period, my hands were still shaking.

“Hello,” a deep voice whispered.

I turned and almost fell off the chair.

Mason Carter.

Why the hell was the son of the Alpha of Brown Stone pack sitting next to me?

“I’m sorry,” I blurted out fast, in case I had offended him without knowing.

His brows furrowed. I dropped my gaze to the desk. Maybe if I stayed quiet, he would leave me alone.

I was wrong. He leaned closer.

“Your heat scent is affecting everyone.”

My heart skipped a beat. I scanned the room.

“No one is looking at me.”

“Only Betas and Alphas can smell it. It’s light for the rest, but strong enough to stir tension. The Alpha thinks the best solution right now is to mark you.”

His eyes were a beautiful gold.

“No, thank you.”

I hugged my bag to my chest, my heart racing. Inside, something hot and angry stirred.

I was not a she wolf for them to mark whenever they wanted. I was not something they could use freely.

Suddenly, his followers growled behind him, trying to scare me. Something strange moved inside me. I wanted to scream at them. To tear them apart. Then I remembered who I was. I stepped back, lowered my head, and pretended to be weak like always.

“Did you just refuse our Alpha?”

One of them shouted from my right. I trembled.

Moon Goddess… I tried to be polite.

I expected the worst, but Mason only told him to shut up. When he grabbed my chin, I could not move.

“I need to know why you refused.”

My throat worked as I lifted my eyes to meet his.

That was my biggest mistake.

Mason stared at me closely. His golden pupils tightened, then relaxed.

“Interesting. Does Alpha Glacier know how badly you want his cock?”

He said it, waiting for my answer.

The words struck like lightning.

My little secret was naked in front of a stranger, just like my soul was naked in front of Glacier’s coldness.
